What Are You Watching?

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

I've also been meaning to get into the recent DBZ stuff. I was thinking of doing the movies, and jumping to Super after it's done adapting them. But I'll probably get to Super when that part of the series is dubbed, since I find it difficult to get into DB subbed, since I'm so used to the dub.

Even though it may be a long way off from being dubbed as far as we know, if you do ever get into Super, I recommend watching the two new movies and then starting Super at episode 28 instead of starting Super from the beginning. The first 27 episodes of Super are just a retelling of the movies, except with terrible animation and pacing, as well as lots of filler and padding; though some of the filler episodes in the middle are actually pretty decent, yet ultimately have no real relevance to the plot. Even then, I find the Champa arc (otherwise known as the Universe 6 arc) to be a really mixed bag, and the following filler mini-arc doesn't help make the series anymore enticing. However, as of episode 47, DBS has really picked up and we've gotten into the best material to come out of the franchise since the movies, and depending on how it goes, it could arguably be the best thing to come out of the franchise since the original manga ended.

Actually, Spark has started the series from the beginning of the most recent arc and has been able to follow it just fine, so that could also serve as a good starting point for DBS after you watch the movies.

Ah, yeah, that's what I mean. I've been reading yours and Lum's thoughts about Super on here, and it sounds like the first 27 episodes aren't really worth watching, but 28 onward is. So that I'm hoping to get into.

I feel like when DB Kai is done on Toonami, they'll get it. Because unless someone else has the rights, why would they?

Anyway, I'm watching The Fuma Conspiracy now. It's pretty good, and the animation is surprisingly fluid for something meant to just be an OVA. I can see why it got a theatrical release. And Goemon has a fairly big role, which is well-done thus far.

Next up, I'll start Captain Tylor tomorrow! It's about time that I give it a go.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Funimation announced their new dubs.

Saiki is one of them.

Finally started Mob Psycho 100. Bones is on fire this year! Definitely my 2nd favorite animation studio now.

I'm enjoying Captain Tylor so far. There's nothing like some 90's anime charm, which the series has in good amounts. It's a lot of fun, and what makes it is that despite how much of a jackass he can be, Tylor is pretty likable, and can actually be pretty useful, while the rest of the cast's anger at his arrogance is justified, but doesn't go too deep so you can't like their presence.

This is definitely worth a watch if it sounds like your kind of thing.

The rape horse makes his grand entrance into anime, but was the sacrifices worth it?

[gunswordfist]

I watched episode 1 of Death Note. Oh so that's what this show is about?! I didn't think it would have any demons in it

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

Wait, didn't you already watch Death Note years ago?

[gunswordfist]

Nope. I didn't have cable when it started and avoidd the rest of its run when I got it back.

[Spark Of Spirit]

I'm pretty surprised you didn't. You'll probably like it, anyway.

[gunswordfist]

Episode 14. Yep, I think it's safe to say that I don't like Misa lol.

The last 5 minutes definitely makes it sink in that this show will end tragically. I feel bad for all the protagonists

[Avaitor]

I finished Captain Tylor last night, and the show deserves its cult status. It's as engaging as it is fun, and the cast is fantastic. I've really enjoyed getting into the world, and recommend it to pretty much any fan of sci-fi.

I'm starting the OVA now, and I think after that, I'm going to catch up on JJBA, then start MHA.

[gunswordfist]

Happy Betrayals To You episode of Lupin gets intense fast! This show usually starts out slow for like the first 10 minutes. Already one of my favorite episodes.

[Dr. Insomniac]

Hit episode 15 of Re:Zero. I am pleasantly and horrifyingly surprised at how this anime's turned out.

[Dr. Ensatsu-ken]

It's surprisingly better than I expected it to be.
