Let's face it Animania is dead, so let's just make one thread where we discuss anime.

What y'all watching?
Whats your favorite show/characters etc?

I just got done watching Death Note again and I forgot how trill that show is. Light is the ultimate villain character, it was so well written. At its core its just a crime thriller but its amazing.

Im revisiting Samurai Champloo next.

    One punch man is good, and I don't think animania is dead. It jumps when something good is out

    Check kiss anime if I remember correctly.

    Been checking out Bezerk, though I haven't lately because I can't commit to anything anymore. Of course the the occasional gundam stuff, and GitS Stand Alone complex when I am on a cyberpunk kick

    Death note was the first anime i ever watched and i loved it.

    Started watching samurai champloo after...? is also dope.

    I also started this one called ? pass on netflix. It was kind of a mix between minority report and sicario...it was set in the future with "cops" being able to scan anyone's mental health level to determine/predict crime. The main character was a new female agent fresh outa school, top of her class...she's tryna adjust while also finding out things she doesn't like about the system. It was cool but they took it off netflix before i could finish it.

    The villain of season 2 tries to ? asuna virtually (which by plot reason allow her to fill it in the real world).

    The third season which they have Guns was superior than the second one. Fourth was ? except that bout with that girl who can do like a 20 hit combo, she was a beast.

    Any of yall watched hunter x hunter? That was too sick, I can see why some ppl wouldn't like it if they were expecting an all out fighting show

    But if you go into it knowing it's not that you'd probably enjoy it
