What anime are you watching this season? (Spring 2023)
-
@AGreaterMonster Wow, I never put that together before but you're totally right! That riff is so legendary I'm surprised I didn't catch it.
-
@AGreaterMonster I haven't watched any of the rest of your favorites! I'll have to check them out (though some are admittedly in my Plan-To-Watch list which just grows longer and longer
) Some 9+/10s for me include: Cowboy Bebop, Angel Beats!, Log Horizon S1, Dr. Stone S1, and Death Note (this last one is just insanely nostalgic and so easy to watch for anime noobs like I am, but also was in 2009 when I first saw it)@SwampCreature Uzumaki sounds so good! I usually try to stay away from scary stuff but I feel like I have to make an exception for Junji Ito
@Ezra Yooo, I have to watch Yu Yu Hakusho, especially since I love HxH so much. And I was the dragged partner in watching Fruits Basket, since it's not my usual type, but I thought it was actually really good! A bit too many characters since I watched it week-to-week every season, so I kept forgetting side characters' names, but that's it.

You've given me some new ones to add to my list! Cowboy Bebop is da shit. So classic and still good. The live action version was just sad though, unfortunately. Same thing with Fullmetal Alchemist. Great anime, another one I forgot to mention, but the live-action version was hot garbage. The acting was just dreadful.

@AGreaterMonster I guess I'm too pessimistic since I haven't given any recent anime live-action adaptations a chance. Last one I remember watching was Dragonball Evolution and I think it's the reason why I said "never again"
(I probably saw it in very close proximity to the Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation movie, so it was insult + injury) -
Ergo Proxy is one of my favorite animes of all time, only second to Boogiepop Phantom. I'm really excited to see all the love for it here, you almost never hear it mentioned! As far as 90s/00s anime I also really love Magic Knight Rayearth, Inuyasha, Tenchi Muyo!, and Outlaw Star.
Fruits Basket is SO cute, I haven't watched the new one yet, only the old one. And of course, Cowboy Bebop is a classic.
It seems hard to adapt anime into live action, but I have hope we'll get a good one someday 🥲

I just started watching an anime called Heavenly Delusion on Hulu. Its a post dystopian world story, it seems good so far but I'm one episode in since its airing like a regular show and not all at once.
-
@Kismet That sounds interesting--I just searched for it on HULU and couldn't find it. Are you sure that's the title? Or is it on a different channel?

@AGreaterMonster whoops it looks like thats not technically the name on Hulu... its this one!

@Kismet Oh yeah, nice. I added that one already, but I'm going to wait until the full season is released. I can't stand to wait! Do you know how many episodes there will be?

I have a couple others in sight like Hell's Paradise, Heavenly Delusion, My Home Hero and Dead Mount Death Play, but I don't want to overcommit, so I'll probably wait until I see good reviews or get a personal recommendation.
@Kismet Nice! I'll consider this a bump for Heavenly Delusion then! I'll probably also then watch it week to week
-
@AGreaterMonster I'm not sure yet! It doesnt look like IMDB has that info either, since its based on a Manga im guessing it would have 15-20 episodes unless they are planning on cutting stuff?
-
@Kismet That would be great. But it seems like it’s so common now with contemporary anime that they only make 12 episodes in a season. The ones with 24 or more episodes in a season seem to be the exception these days.

@AGreaterMonster @Kismet Heavenly Delusion will be one-cour only (13 episodes) just airing over Spring.
If it gets a bit of popularity (as it seems to be getting, week-to-week), maybe the next season could be two cours; the manga has 5 years' worth of content so I think the only limitation is monetary.
