Black Clover is set up pretty similarly to Bleach. Only started airing this season so there are only 9 episodes so far.

As for good Shonen, watch Hunter X Hunter or My Hero Academia. Both are available on Crunchyroll. Both are excellent series, especially HxH.

Think Netflix had upto the end of the Greed Island arc, if so just start from the Chimera Ant Arc.

I'd really recommend watching Land of the Lustrous this season. First time significant 3D in anime feels like a gain and not a loss.

UberPrinny_Baal

Watched two episodes of Onegai Teacher and with that I am confident abandoning it and never watching another minute.

The best way to describe the series is that it's the plot of a porn movie, that has gone standalone without featuring the actual porn.

As soon as an anime feels the need to qualify that a character is physically and mentally 15, but LEGALLY 18 due to reasons you know you're in for some dumb nonsense. It's on par with someone having an attractive sister who just so happens to not be a blood relation.

Creepy and stupid.

Inuyashiki is an awesome anime

Munt1core

Now it's my top3 anime
THE ANCIENT MAGUS’ BRIDE
INUYASHIKI
RECOVERY OF AN MMO JUNKIE

SummerHaze

I am watching Black Clover and March Comes in Like a Lion

Gingervitis

After yesterday's episode, Houseki no Kuni (Land of the Lustrous) is probably the AOTS for me. Magus Bride is good, but a little too slow for me.

Just finished reading Nodame Cantabile, really enjoyed the characters and might have been one of the most enjoyable manga I've read.

First 60 episodes of bleach were amazing! I'm now on episode 75 and mehhhh I'm still watching it but not as engaged with it as I was.

Did anyone watch the new devil man series on netflix? I loved the manga movie back in the day although It was quite violent, still cool though.

My favorite line from the movie is "Stuck on this!" BANG!

You can probably drop Bleach now, it never gets anywhere near as good again.

Have Devilman on my watch list but have been catching up on One Piece recently. The old Devilman OVA dub is hilarious, it got one of those ridiculous Manga UK dubs that added a load of random swearing to bump up the BBFC rating.

Fuko200

Im catching up on mostly my manga pile - i keep buying and end up having them pile up too much.
What im reading atm are:
Kamisama kiss
Kigurumi guardians
Nurse hitomis monster infirmary
Merman in my bathtub
The ancient magus bride
And some random horror gore oneshots i find

Anime wise im watching:
Full metal alchemist (5th time)
Uruhara
Hoozuki no reitsu season 2
Citrus
Ito junji collection
Pop team epic

Im not bothering with anime really atm til i finish reading though.

I was watching every episode then I decided to drop all the filler episodes/seasons and stick with the canon episodes.

Devilman Crybaby sure is something.

I keep hearing that, may watch it in Feb whenever I resubscribe.

Do you need to watch any previous Devilman stuff to grasp it or is it pretty self explanatory?

The only other Devilman I'd seen was the Cyborg 009 crossover and it didn't prepare me for Crybaby. It seems to be a retelling of the story so you don't need to watch anything before hand.

Just as a heads up for anyone who doesn't know it's one of those series that might raise a few questions in anyone walks in on you watching it.

It passed BBFC 18 which doesn't happen very often

Just finished watching Inuyashiki. Disturbing but I thought it was excellently done. If you like dark animes then at times this is one of the darkest. Tense, very tense

More violent than the manga video?

Just read on briefly on what it was about and it reminds me of a book I read a couple of years ago called chosen, might check it out.

I did the same with Naruto - turned into a much better anime that way following the Akatsuki arc.

I would definitely stick with Bleach for one of the greatest showdowns in anime

A fine anime - from some chatter on the internet that I'm continuing here I believe the 70s version was an inspiration for Evangelion and Ryo Asuka the inspiration for Griffith in Berserk

Recently started watching Darling in the FranXX and Violet Evergarden; loving both so far.

Gunmonkey

Watched the first episode of Franxx and thought "eh they are really pushing the sexualisation a fair bit, given the girls poses in the mechs".....then saw Trigger make it and it all made sense

Great series, I know there is some creepy undercurrent for what is going on (kids were brought up in the "garden", referred to by plant reproductive organs (stamen, pistil), they are kept isolated from the rest of the populous in a garden above them).

Nody

Just finished season one of A.I.C.O.; really liked it and can highly recommend it.

That came up as a netflix's recommendation, must check it out.

If you haven't started watching a Place Further than the Universe you're missing out.
