Anime and Manga disscussion

[goji89]

I've been wanting to watch Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann lately but i'm not too sure where to start. Should i go watch the movies first, or should i stick to the main anime?

Definitely the anime it was soo good. It's just crazy fun.

I need to get on the final season of Attack on Titan.

On one end I love John Wick movies so much I'm willing to give this the love it's asking me to give it, on the other hand I wasn't highly impressed by Hellsing as an anime, nor was I invested in it. I like parts of it.

For many years, the original film elements to the 80's anime favorite Project A-Ko had been thought lost. Discotek Media was planning to release the film on Blu-ray using a fancy AI-upscale process from existing Laserdiscs, but that project has been canceled... on account of the original camera negative being re-discovered after a clerical error was brought to light!

This is amazing news! I've heard of Project A-Ko, but it's one of those classics I've yet to see, so definitely looking forward to the blu-ray release. But it'd always great when the original negatives and such are found to be still existing.

Bought the season 2 dvd of One Punch man.

Great series

I just finished episode 19 of Demon Slayer. Very few times have I got this invested in drawings before.

As you can tell, I have quite possibly the most normie it hurt to type that choice for favorite anime physically possible.

I have finished the first two seasons of Attack On Titan, the only anime I've seen besides Godzilla Earth and Pokemon.
I love the show! I even bought the video game. I think after I'm done with Titan I'll start Evangelion.

Dude the next seasons (Attack of Titans) will be freaking awesome you won't be dissapointed. And which Evangelion? The new or old version?

Nice, I can't wait to finish AOT!
And I'm not sure, which Evangelion should I watch?

From what I understand, Rebuild is much more of a satisfying experience if you've watched the original.

Yeah

I'd go with the original then the rebuild.

Might be an outlier here, I've never watched the TV show, but had a blast watching the Rebuild movies earlier in the week. Stoked to see the finale.

[Cryptid_Liker]

Just finished Demon Slayer. It may be the first battle-shonen series I've ever finished. As for my opinion, I loved it and will try to watch Mugen Train when I can.

I've been reading a series called "Kaiju No.8". I'm up to 18 chapters and I'm really enjoying it.

That art makes me think hybrid of both Bleach and Akira.

Eight episodes into Haruhi. It really is top-tier KyoAni, and well on its way to becoming one of my favorite shows.

I admit, I don't know anything about this series; but this is a really cool find and it looks like a fun show. It's very satisfying to see media like this getting restored and preserved.

...And I'm not sure, which Evangelion should I watch?

I think it's easier to get into the (first two) Rebuild films than the original series, so if you want action, modern effects, and shorter overall watching time, go with Rebuild; otherwise, watch the original series if you want the full scope of the story.

I'm curious: which order are you watching the show in? I'm very fond of the show as well, but its release history is convoluted, and the episode order can make a difference in the show's impression.

Numerical order on Funimation, if that helps. I wasn't aware there were other options.

When the first season originally broadcast, the story was told out of chronological order, starting with the "Adventures of Mikuru Asahina" episode. This was to enhance the mystery of the overall story without spoiling it halfway through, since the show covers multiple light novel volumes and the big reveal of the story's "gimmick" is the climax of the first novel.
When the show was released on home video, however, the episodes were reordered chronologically - and then, when season 2 aired, they aired BOTH seasons spliced together in chronological order. As far as I know, this is how the combined series has been offered since.
Having watched both broadcast and chronological order, the series is very good either way - but the original broadcast order turns season 1 into something a little extra special.
