What have you been watching / reading this week? (Anime/Manga)
What have you been watching and reading this week? You don't need to give us a whole essay if you don't want to, but please write something! Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.
If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its pages on Anilist, MAL, or any other database you use!
I finished Saekano, and its a good one. What started as a satire gradually converted to fairly developed characters and ended on a good note.
And then over weekend, I binged Cowboy Bebop. It is a masterpiece. I was told the soundratck is amazing and it lives up to hype. Absolute best of the bunch.
Being done with those two, I have nothing to watch for now, so any satire/parody suggestions welcome! My fav ones have been daily lives of highschool boys, One Punch Man and S1 of Saekano.
There are so many great shows right now. It's hard to keep up with all of them. My current favorites:
One Piece
We're finally going back in time and seeing Gol D. Roger animated and interacting with other legendary characters. They really are as cool as expected.Attack on Titan Final Season
I think I'm the only one that likes Abby. She is a really cool character and I can understand how she feels.Dr. Stone: Stone Wars
It's so awesome to that the gang is back together. Tsukasa's motivation for becoming the bad guy wasn't the best, but he is still the strongest and it's cool he is back on the good side.Jujutsu Kaisen
I'm disliking the current arc a little. I liked the last one much more.I take that back, last episode made up for it.
I restarted Attack on Titan. I believe I left off on S2, but since I don't know where, I didn't want to jump in and be wrong because of how deep the show goes. I forgot how grim the anime is, but even more, how relatable it is. Every character is absolutely terrified, nobody seems to be super-powered, except for the obvious exceptions, and that's their one exception, typically. I guess I'm just re-surprised at how great a job they did with characterization in the show.
I got caught up on the My Hero Academia manga. It has taken the unfrotunate turn that many shonen manga take, where armies of superpowered beings fight each other. The manga has lost all of the subtleties it had, the side character arcs, the interesting dueling sequences. Now its all about unexpected powers found in desperate circumstances. I'm still interested in hat happens, but I do hope that the final third of this manga finds better footing.
