What anime are you watching or manga are you reading?

Heey
Has anyone watched "Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu" (better known as Parasyte)?

I finished Ore Monogatari (My Love Story) two weeks ago..

The Devil is a part-timer

I've been watching Tomo Cartoon's anime adpation of "Double Hard", lately! Don't have time to really watch it that much, though... Still on EP. 5.....

But I'm definitely going to make sure I watch JJBA part 4.... If it's ever gonna be adapted, that is....

cherryghost · 13-10-2015 4:23pm

Yesss Gatchaman Crowds Insight has started. Watch the first season, its great!

Sieghardt · 16-10-2015 10:54pm

Watched Aldnoah Zero series 1, couldnt understand the hate the series was getting, thought it was pretty good

watched episode 1 of series 2, now I understand

BarJustas · 18-10-2015 3:13pm

Im watching : Akame Ga Kill , Log Horizont Hack root really nice .

Cumin · 18-10-2015 10:02pm

We're in the middle of Erin The Beast Player.
Gentle, slow anime... like a fairy tale.
Only thing it could do without is the repeated scenes to remind the viewer what happened.

What you think? been thinking of starting that

CastorTroy · 02-11-2015 11:23pm

Apparently it takes a few episodes to get into it. First episode didn't really stand out from other shows I've seen before.

Anime: One Punch Man

How is this?

Love the manga, didn't know they made a series yet.

mrkite77 · 04-11-2015 12:01am

Concrete Revolutio.

If you watched Mekakucity Actors last year and said "I really want an anime even more obtuse and confusing. Preferably with more inexplicable time jumps" then Concrete Revolutio is for you.

Plus it has the weirdest ED I've seen:

The anime quite good. It has same story like the manga. Try watch it

Art_Wolf · 10-11-2015 3:13pm

Considering how "quick" the manga comes out, I wonder how long it will be between season 1 and 2 of the anime ;_;

Sieghardt · 11-11-2015 3:24pm

Just finished watching Akame ga Kill, mixed feelings

airmax87 · 19-11-2015 11:53pm

K-ON!, Initial D final stage.

IHeartYuki · 10-12-2015 7:44pm

I just finished Dennou Coil. What an amazing series! I loved the atmosphere, the characters and the story. I can't understand how it seems to receive so little love. If you like smart, engaging stories you should definitely check it out.

CastorTroy · 10-01-2016 6:37pm

First five One Punch Man episodes watched. Thought the first was grand but the ones after were really funny and enjoyable.

airmax87 · 10-01-2016 8:06pm

Non Non Biyori atm, great for hangovers.

Ascendant · 31-01-2016 3:14pm

Just finished the anime for 'Gokukoku no Brynhildr' (Brynhildr in the Darkness) and I liked it so much, I'm continuing on with the manga (still ongoing).

Before that I watched 'Psycho-Pass', also of high caliber. In many ways we're living in a golden age of anime/manga.

CastorTroy · 06-02-2016 8:41pm

Just watched the first episode of Boku Dake ga Inai Machi (aka Erased). Gonna keep at it

the_syco · 11-02-2016 10:54pm

I'm finding the latest episodes of Star Wars Rebels are really getting into the different ways of "the force". Tonights one was very cool

5star02707 · 12-02-2016 1:38pm

Shokugeki no Soma - love the art and the food makes me hungry all the time
Nanatsu no Taizai / Seven Deadly Sins
Fairy Tail
Hajime no Ippo
Bleach
Douluo Dalu / Soul Land

Those are the top ones that i recommend

Still need to watch this week's. But like Clone Wars it has improved as the seasons go on.

Watched episode 6 of Boku Dake ga Inai Machi. really good

airmax87 · 12-02-2016 9:50pm

Clannad, more confused at the intro's than I was while watching NGE.

AzN · 16-02-2016 2:26am

Just finished reading Pandora Hearts recently, great manga, definitely one of my favourites.

As for anime I can't find any good already aired ones so I'm just waiting each week for " Boku dake ga Inai Machi " and " Durarara "

IHeartYuki · 18-02-2016 7:18pm

I started Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! Loving this story. It's like SAO or Log Horizon with laughs.

Enjoying that myself, doesn't take itself seriously at all. Favourite of the season is probably Erased though.

I wish shows like this were the standard rather than the exception. I love everything about this show, especially that the VAs are just speaking in normal voices instead of over exaggerating everything like a lot of other shows would.

If you want something in a similar vein (transported to a fantasy world), check out Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash. Its a lot heavier and more serious.

Erased is fantastic, hate the cliffhanger endings on each episode though.

CastorTroy · 21-02-2016 4:54pm

Yeah, I'm tempted to wait until Erased finishes now before watching any more. But then that means having to wait even longer for the next episode. Ah, what to do.

Just started Grimgar. Love the concept. It feels rather realistic. Just because you're transported to a fantasy world, doesn't mean you know how to use a sword... and swords are rather tricky, it requires years of practice... not something you can handwave away with a montage.

Plus I never really thought about it, but Goblins use weapons and armor and communicate with each other... they're clearly intelligent. Killing one would be extremely difficult and traumatic.

I'm watching that too but it's a little bit of a slow burner. Good drama, not enough plot (at least so far). Erased is definitely on another level this season. I'm waiting for episode 9 now but wish I'd waited until it was all out. It's definitely a show I could binge-watch!

macker33 · 19-04-2016 3:31am

Just finished Katanagatari tonight, definitely recommended.
Its weird because its 12 45min episodes instead of the usual 23 mins. if you havent seen it then you need to make haste and go watch it.

airmax87 · 19-04-2016 8:06pm

Watamote.

Links234 · 19-04-2016 8:09pm

Gave Ajin a watch, very good indeed!

Not a huge fan of the animation style, but a damn good show that really kept me gripped.

Watching log horizon, on ep8, not really digging it if im honest.

Picks up in the second half. Bit of a slow burner, but better for the story that way as it does a pretty good job world building which is important.

The first season covers the first 4 light novels.

BlitzKrieg · 31-05-2016 1:57am

Girls Und Panzer movie snuck out into the world subtitled this weekend (along with an OVA)

Honestly if you liked the series (which I stand by despite its insane premise works far too well) the movie doesnt break any new ground story wise (repeats itself quite a bit in a few areas) but goes for broke with the ridiculous tank battles and they are at times glorious. Its also surprisingly longer then expected coming in at 2 hours (and most of it is tank battles)

I still think the final tank battle of the series was better but there are some excellent ones here all the same.

May give that a look, love me some GuP. On a similar note, check out High School Fleet, currently airing series which is the same deal but cute girls doing cute things onboard a naval destroyer.

Manic Moran · 01-06-2016 11:13pm

I have to say, I very much enjoyed the GuP movie. Especially interesting when you've been to Oarai and seen the places in real life, you can recognise where in the town they are. Bit in the middle was a bit slow, and there are one or two plot holes one could drive a T28 through, but the Finns make up for it

There are also a number of easter eggs which only enthusiasts of military history will pick up on, which enhance the experience and a few other 'cool references', such as "Operation Mifune."

Finished Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood the other day, so now watching The Legend of Korra. Also half watching Berserk, 00, and something else.

kevovek · 25-06-2016 10:57am

Im just about half way through Erased and I'm finding it to be pretty good. Also got the first 3 volumes of the Neon Genesis Evangelion manga Im a massive fan of the series as a whole but Ive never read these.

_CreeD_ · 11-07-2016 10:43pm

About midway through Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress . Excellent production quality and a decent story but Attack on Titan it is not (same team), still worth a look imho.

Is it actually as much of a Titan cash-in as first impressions would have you believe or does it pivot off into its own thing?

Links234 · 13-07-2016 7:50pm

So, was checking out the new Berserk, only 2 episodes in and I'm not too impressed, but I'll hold my reservations until I've seen the whole series.

Also checking out Samurai Flamenco.

What anime are you watching or manga are you reading?
