Hope you had a wonderful summer and now looking forward to Fall and Winter, Rob-san!

Hey Rob, aren't you going to follow modern anime.?
—
and if yes, what is the reason in your opinion?

I want to hear from both adult and youth perspectives

Have a great Summer!

I did watch Apothecary Diaries when it aired. It was one of my favorites along with Sousou no Frieren.

Thank you friend!

I do hope you will consider watching this one as well if you haven"t already. I really enjoyed it as it was very well done with memorable characters and story line. ^^)

Hola Rob-san!
On your side of the world are the Spring flowers in full bloom? In SoCal, we had several rainstorms that truly blessed us with so many flowers everywhere you looked.
Here at home, I have enjoyed walking around the yard looking at even the tiniest of flowers in order to appreciate their beauty. The cool breeze and the song of our many birds makes for a very enjoyable morning, afternoon even night. ^^
Have a wonderful Spring and a great Summer!


P.S.
I am so happy to see you watched and enjoyed MaoMao and company. A truly enjoyable anime.

Ah ... Rob-san, you remain a gentleman as always. Wow, 10 years already - where has the time gone?
May we both continue to age with grace, style, and dignity.
Let's not forget fun!

It made me feel bored and didn't enjoy it at all. Although at my age I don't suppose I'm going to watch something that reinvents the wheel as you said, I want to pass my time with something that I like. Well, we can't agree with everything we watch and also we can watch something in a period of our life and rate it high or low, depending on our current mood.

Well, so far it is an entertaining series. Enjoy seeing Lupin and Jigen as youngsters ... rough and tough.

If by priorities you mean changing diapers and tending to a toddler or two, I support you 100%!

When I was a little girl, my father always called me "Mi Prieta." Anyway, one of many fond memories that I have of my late father.

Only a very small percentage of the fans getting into a remake will backtrack and watch the original version. So you just have to hope that it does the series justice. I'm always on the fence. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I tend to get a little more hesitant the bigger the fan I am of the original. The LOGH remake... I just couldn't do it. I watched the first part that came out and called it a day. The character designs alone weren't getting the job done. Got lucky with HxH. Love both versions even though I still prefer the original for the overlapped content by a lot. But it's nice knowing that new fans got something legit. I'd say the Hunter Exam was the weakest part of the remake. Sped through it a little too quickly and didn't have the substance of the original. I'm actually kinda looking forward to the Kenshin remake. Mostly since it's a series I really like, but don't consider a favorite. Plus, I'm hoping to finally get to see the best arc animated after all these years.

Understandable. Super is basically like a DB fan fiction in lots of ways. The production doesn't get good until later into the series. Then it started looking incredible more often than not. But some of the early stuff looked as inconsistent and pathetic as they come. My score for that one is definitely not what I'd call objective lol. Even though I still love some of the new stuff, I'm very much of the opinion that all anyone really needs is DB/Z.

A whole bunch of these Yowamushi Pedal seasons mounted up. Never got around to it. But I can't say I'm too impressed with the sports genre in recent years. Like my LOGH remake criticism, I think it has a ton to do with the cookie cutter character designs. I miss the days when sports shows looked so distinctive. Still get a few good sports anime shows that trickle in. But it's been very hit or miss lately. Haikyuu!! is going to be a project of mine this year. Most people seem to like it, so I feel like that one should be relatively safe. Volleyball is a nice change of pace as well. Always seems like that's the show people are the most surprised that I haven't seen yet.

So you've seen some of JoJo Part 1? Well... that's a very different style than what the series becomes along the way. For rankings, I'd go 3, 5, 4, 2, 1, 6. I like 3 and 5 the most because the GROUPS in those are so stacked. It's badass and hilarious at the same time. Lots of traveling in those installments. Part 4 all takes place in a weird town, and the villain that comes in midway through was the best the franchise had to offer in my view.

I started watching the entire season worth of anime in 2018. Impressed with myself that I've been able to keep this up for 5 years now. But sometimes it does get a little overwhelming and cuts into the amount of time I have to focus on other completed shows. Even though I've made a huge dent in that already over the years. I end up falling behind a lot and then doing big catch ups before the next season starts. I'll have a nice mini marathon of Vinland Saga soon. Haven't watched much yet. Started out really intriguing though. New Trigun is fine. Doesn't look too bad. Haven't minded some of the changes that have been made. But I'm not a huge Trigun guy in the first place. I like the 90s series and gave it a 7. So it didn't really have much to live up to.

Ha, other than myself, he's the most consistent person I know. So it's not hard for us. But yeah, I'd put it up against anyone on this site.

I would have responded back sooner, but wasn't aware that you replied. You wrote it on your wall instead of mine heh.

I agree that it's surprising that ratings are still great despite the poor job they've been doing. But I guess One Piece has so many fans that are just along for the ride no matter what. Some of us have been watching it over two decades or longer. Guess I'll wait on Bleach to finish.

A little extra randomness in a good way for the 80s version of UY. I still haven't watched beyond the first episode of the remake yet. But it should be easy enough. A sample size for those who haven't seen the original, or have a short attention span like you mentioned.

I ended up loving the new DB Super movie despite the CGI. But I can't guarantee you'd feel the same. As a huge Piccolo fan, I was blown away by the fact that he was the MAIN character with Gohan being the secondary lead. There were lots of little things I enjoyed and how the first half was so chill with mostly just fun character development rather than fights. The CGI looked really good for CGI. It always looks a little wonky for the first few minutes and then my eyes adjusted. It's been getting better in recent years, but clearly still far from a preference of course.

Speaking of JoJo, unfortunately Part 6 was by far my least favorite installment. Not really even sure how to grade it. The first 5 or so episodes were good and then the last few were pretty cool. But the rest left a lot to be desired. Jolyne was a cool character, yet the rest of the cast did nothing for me. I'd say this timeline felt a bit played out and the biggest issue might have been that a mostly female cast just didn't work right. Seeing how JoJo is centered around insane testosterone lol. The scores on here are good though, so to each their own. I had to rewatch Part 3 shortly after to get iffy taste out of my mouth. I ended up loving Part 3 even more than the first time. So much fun. I'm really curious about Part 7 now though. Sounds like that's one of the best and resets things. So hopefully that gets an anime adaption in a few years.

Thank you my friend! Happy new year with health, happiness and may all your wishes come true!
