What anime are you watching this season? (Spring 2023)
-
@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.
