What have you watched recently?

Kaguya-sama. Loved it, as I knew I would coming from the manga. Now I just gotta read it and a billion other things.

Saw the first episode of Sabagebu!, and it turned out to be great! Deffo think it's gonna land among my all-time faves. ^^

I took a long break from anime but I just watched Erased and liked it a lot ^-^

JoJo is over ;-;

Guess that's my cue to marathon the second half of Golden Wind. Only two years or so till the most bizarre part gets adapted.

Yeah, I can't wait for part 6. It's criminally underrated c:

Little Witch Academia. If you haven't watched this treat of an anime do yourself a favor and watch it. It was really cute and well done. I enjoyed the spirit of the show and the story it told.

Can confirm: LWA is great. I saw only the OVA/short movie when I was a frosh in college, and I remember being legit scared that such a fine piece of animation would never get its own series. I guess everything worked out, huh? ^^

No. Though I can't quite say I've been watchin' much.

My friends and I actually started it last night. I am a bit disappointed with the animation though. Feels somewhat stiff.

Nande koko ni sensei ga. I liked it! <3

I ended watching Miyuki TV anime adaptation.

That was..... well, just your ordinary Adachi Mitsuru work, but more like a pseudo incest.
Or rather I must said: "a Schrodinger Incest"

Started watching Natsu no Arashi! and yesterday. Every scene in the OP references an album cover, which makes the character animation feel super dynamic and fresh.

Someone made nice video showcasing all the cover references:

I'm only at episode 3 and I already love everything about this anime. It's definitely a classic SHAFT production. Hope this keeps up!

Ahh, this looks really nice! I honestly adore anime made from 2000-2010. There seemed to be a lot of experimentation and evolution that occurred throughout the decade, and even its simpler offerings have their own unique charms.

Just binged through the first season and it was pretty enjoyable! At some point I started to wonder, because some of the character designs looked kind of familiar, and it turns out the anime is based on a Manga by the author of School Rumble. Small wonder I liked it so much! ^^

EDIT: I totally agree about the 2000s! Couldn't say which I like more, the 2000s or the 90s... Both have their individual charm ^^ I'm wondering how people will look back onto the 2010s in the future... Maybe as the dark age of Isekai anime and light novel adaptions?

And moeblobs! Can't forget moeblobs. Plus there's the ubiquitous "Cute Girls Doing X" form factor that's proven wildly-successful in the decade following K-On!. You might remember smash-hits such as Cute Girls Doing Cute Things!, Cute Girls but They're Game Devs!, Cute Girls Play Airsoft!, Cute Girls Engage in Tank Warfare!, Cute Girls but They're Outrageously Lewd!; but They're Firearms!, but They're Warships!, They're Detectives!, They're Daimyo!, They're Idols!, They're Monsters!, and They Go Camping and so on, and so forth.

Mind! I ain't knockin' the quality of these shows; almost all the ones I've mentioned are brilliant in their own right, but it's pretty amazing how many series ran with a cast of (mostly) platonically-related high school girls either bound by one particular activity, or sharing a unique and fantastic setting. ^^

Oh, of course! How could I forget about those? Honestly, I feel like the anime industry is in a bit of a rut recently, where they mostly regurgitate "proven" concepts. But then again some of those turn out pretty innovative exactly because they have to stay in the confines of a "proven concept", while trying to set themselves apart from the rest.

Started Sound Euphonium recently. Recommended due to it being cute.

For me the era I'm most attached to, whether it's most quality or not (which it might very well not be) is the first half or so of the 2000s, back when I first started watching anime.

Though more for fapping than anything to be honest... hand-drawn cel-animation boob physics (´┓`*)
