For those who are getting bored of Dragon Ball and One Piece, I got a show for you. 

 

My Hero Academia (Boku no Hero Academia) is LIT.

 

 

I'm not really a fan of Shounen shows because I think they get a little to tropey and predictable but even I got to admit this series is awesome. I'm working on the second season right now and it just keeps getting better and better. It's on Funimation for free and the third season is about to start airing next month. Again it's not my usual fare but I am really digging this show right now. Also, the dubbing is pretty good.

Sword Gai on netflix is a pretty decent action anime

One of my favorite anime of all time Steins;Gate had it's first episode of its sequel Steins;Gate 0 air today. 

 

I'm super hyped because I thought Steins;Gate was one of the best anime of all time, but after playing through both of the VN's I realized Steins;Gate 0 is going to be even better. I'm beyond excited for this show.

I didn't realize there's a sequel coming out. I'm ready for it.

 

I'm currently watching Assassination Classroom, and it's really very good. Well done, depth to the story and completely absurd a lot of the time. It's a weird balance that they pull off well.

And with my wife I'm watching Is It Wrong to Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon. I've already seen it, but I really enjoyed it the first time and I thought my wife would too. Thus far that assumption has been correct.

You have to watch episode 23B before you watch the sequel or your going to be confused as hell. You'll need to look around on the internet to find it somewhere though.

 

Crunchyroll already has the first episode up.

 

I've been meaning to watch Assassination Classroom but I haven't found the time for it recently. Been busy with some live-action shows and My Hero Academia. 

[The Gnat]

We wrapped up the first two seasons of My Hero Academia, the third season is on right now, correct? I'm looking forward to that season, that was a good show.

Yea Funimation has the first episode of MHA season 3 on their site already. I still have like 5 more episodes of season 2 to finish before I can watch the new one though. I might bang those out tonight. 

[The Gnat]

Oh nice, there must just be a little bit of a delay between when they are in Japan and when they hit Funimation here. I know I looked around when they came out as we have a VRV subscription that we're using to watch everything.

I've seen the first few episodes not bad at all. 

[Tetsujin]

I just finished all 10 Miyazaki-wirtten AND directed Studio Ghibli movies. Here's how I rank them:

1. The Wind Rises - Very powerful, real-world film

2. Porco Rosso - A fun movie. His most underrated.

3. Princess Mononoke - Very well-done. Some intense moments.

4. Spirited Away - Grandiose, but plot is a little thin

5. Naussica: Valley of the Wind - Pretty Good

6. My Neighbor Totoro - His most overrated film

7. Castle In the Sky - OK

8. Kiki's Delivery Service - Not bad. Does nothing for me.

9. Ponyo - I don't see how this appeals to any non-child.

10. Howl's Moving Castle - A couple of interesting things, but kind of a messy and incoherent movie.

I know im late to the party but One Punch Man is one of the best shows I ever watched

Very well done and keeps me laughing throughout

Couldn't get past the 4th, it's decent but the characters needed more work.

[The Gnat]

The further I get into Assassination Classroom, the better it gets. Down to the final 13 episodes or so, but it's just really really well done. Even with the massive pivot that just happened they did so in a way that made a ton of sense and created so much depth for the characters. The show is one that I thought was just going to be dumb fun when I started watching it, but it's turned into such a great show with so much more than just goofiness, though it has a lot of that as well.

I just finished watching the first season of Assassination Classroom. Honestly, it's a 5/10 with 5 being completely average. I liked the teachers but none of the students were very interesting and there was a general lack of character chemistry.  Also, none of the comedy really landed for me it was all just meh. And for an anime called assassination classroom, you'd think there would be a little more killing going on. It just ended up being kinda shounen-y which with the exception of MHA isn't something I really like. Plus I hate protagonists with crazy anime color hair, IDK why but it always bothers me.

This show just felt like a lesser version of Great Teacher Onizuka. Granted I only read the manga but from what I understand the anime is just as good and the manga is the second best manga I have ever read. I would really recommend GTO to anybody who likes a comedy-drama or enjoyed Assassination Classroom. It's really amazing.
