Your reviews got me into anime. I watch a few then stopped but you awesome reviews showed me so many great shows. Thank you
Broc Hurt Same! I'm really selective with anime. But Arkada has helped me get into niche anime I've never thought I would be into
AdvancedSoda stop being selective then and learn to enjoy trash too
Thanks for talking about Wotakoi! It deserves sooo much more recognition!!
I feel like this could even be one of the best years for anime hands down. With the magnificent winter season and now this awesome spring season, and looking what's coming up. It's just insane
I like how the music changes based on what anime you are talking about. Especially how it transitions and what music you are using for each anime is just beautiful.
*UNITED STATES OF FLIPPING SMASHHHHHH*
TheBmans bunker mha greatness
😢😢😢.
my first thought when I heard that line: ALL MIGHT CONFIRMED FOR SMASH
Just imagine if all might was in super smash bros ultimate o_O
Do you know what sounds better than USA?
UNITED STATES OF SMASHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
The main reason I like Food Warsis this, it is actually accurate: the dishes they create can be done in real life, and the things they talk about are actually true in the cullinary word. As a person who loves to cook and eat I really enjoyed every single episode of it so far. It also has some pretty good humor to it (but of course that is subjective). If you want to find an interesting recipe to try and make at home or impress your friends with, watch a few episodes of it, you will definetly find something that gets you noggin' joggin' as well as your tummy go yummy,
Yeah foodwars is so realistic that you need to have double E bouncing titties in order to make something cook.
@@821lancevance aren't they essential??
Thumbs up all the Gary's!
Wizardi1111 I will that beat that Gary Oak someday!
Yeah!
gary oak? do you mean eggbutt
Gary? Gaaaaaaary...
You must save my family
The main reason I follow a few channels like this is to get tips on good shows. I have barely enough time to watch anime as is, much less sort countless shows to find something good. This is entertaining to watch and a true community service, never stop making your reviews. :D
Legend of the galactic heroes? No? Kinda surprised it wasn’t mentioned.
I'm more surprised he didn't mention Lupin III Part 5. Best soundtrack of the season, even better than Megalo Box.
Legend of the Galactic Heroes is less of a show that anyone can recommend, and more of one that people need to find on their own.
The pilgrimage to watch it must be started of one's own volition.....at least until I can get a solid video written up for it, but considering the franchises length that'll take awhile XD
Hmm, that's a fair approach to the antiquated 110-ep old series (we fans have been constantly telling people to watch it for years and it has such a high MAL rating, but we've had relatively little success tbh), but the new one is (currently) just 12 episodes long and has a much more modern and easy to approach style. Right now it's probably the best way to get people into the series. It's your call what you put in your video ofcourse, but I think it atleast deserved a mention on a best of list like this.
Glass Reflection True if you are talking about the OVA. But Die Neu These is only 12 episodes. But what ever floats your boat lad. Didn’t expect a reply either xD.
Megan Killerby it's 12 episodes + 3 movies (or 2) right? I love it anyway, and I'm considering watching the OVAs
Just want to say thanks for doing videos!
While I've watched anime for years, I'm a very casual watcher and honestly don't have the time to check out every series out there. Barely checked out any this season in fact, so every season these types of videos from you really help me save time and figure out what to watch!
You're the best.
Hinamatsuri sure is a blast
Anzu is a treasure from heaven
protecc anzu
+1
Expecting season 2 and I mean it. I want to know how Hina look after 2 years.
Y'know the eps where nitta and anzu were both alone..... If I'm Nitta, I think I'll be lolicon and ready to go to jail as long I can Marry Anzu after released.
UA-cam has been bugging me to watch this video of yours for DAYS. I finally watched it because it wouldn’t stop appearing on my feed. So glad for the HisoMaso mention.
Best season of anime? Is it 2011 already?
TyphoonZebra loooool no where near 2011.
Deadpool116 why not? There are also more number of good anime now a days. Before 2017-2018 best years were 2006-2007, and 2010-2011
Fall 2014 is also a very strong season in comparison to this Spring
Captain Kon'Doriano I remember 2014 only for Shirobako
Esesem ssm What about Parasyte? Rage of Bahamut: Genesis? Garo: The Animation? Yona of the Dawn? Your Lie in April? Magic Kaito 1412? Mushishi Zoku Shou 2? Ronia the Robber's Daughter?
I’ve been feeling so lost navigating this season...I really appreciate this video!
Raymundo Pantoja Jr. This season is over in some weeks tho
This is one of those seasons that hit you with so many good shows you didn't know which ones to watch.
Also check out Lupin if you can. He didn’t mention it but imo it’s easily one of the best of the season.
This season needs to go down in the history books!!
I feel like you are just becoming a part of me I go with all off your recommendations and I love everything you have been watching and doing
5:50 She saved him from BAD CG
HEY GUYS WE'RE BEING ATTACKED BY BAD CG - Gigguk
I see that you are truly a man of culture.
Ahhh Gigguk
Without you're reviews I probs wouldn't have gotten into anime... Thank you honestly
Actually SAO Alternative is based on a light novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa(writer of Kino's Journey). Yousuke Kuroda is just the writer who's adapting it to anime.
Oh? no wonder it was better than expected, if someone who wrote Kino is on board.
I WAS kind dissapointed with the 2nd half though, I was hoping for a story focues on the actual MMO gameplay like the first half.
If anything it's more of a good year of anime than just a good spring season. Spring -Megalo box, Hinamatsuri, steins gate 0, Tokyo ghoul: re. etc..winter-violet evergarden,darling in the franxx,saiki k,cardcapto sakura, overlord 2 etc.. mines well just appreciate the year
When you make an 18min video of season recommendations and you still miss good shows like Aggretsuko, LOTGH remake, and Saiki Kusuo. I also think 3D Kanojo deserves a mention.This season needs a nerf.
LOTGH and 3D Kanojo are definitely some of my faves from this season
Don’t forget about Lupin Part 5. That’s a big omission that pretty much EVERY anime youtuber has been making. It’s downright tragic.
Josh Leitzel I mean it is the fifth part of a series, so that isn't too surprising.
Protagonist Yes, but that means very little since each series is standalone. Lupin tends to be a very episodic and self-contained series. That’s what makes it so much easier to get into than most long running series. All you really need is a single episode to get familiarized with the general premise and characters. Part 5 has its own standalone narrative so anitubers really have no excuse. It’d be like avoiding watching the new gegege just because it’s like the 5th entry into that classic series. Only difference is they don’t label it as a new part, which admittedly probably makes some people hesistsnt and think they actually need to watch every previous series when they don’t. I started with Part 4 for Pete’s sake.
Josh Leitzel I think you just answered your own question(or I served as an example of what the situation might be for many people). When I hear part 5, I assume I need to watch parts 1-4.
GR: "Except for you GARY... you know who you are".
Me: *smiles*
you forgott to mention Seven deadly sins season 2
Technically counted as last season
Shay Usu OVA or an actual second season?
yeah 🤔
It's as bad as the first one.
sleepstr s2 is a little disappointing for me, a lot things are just crammed in one episode
On a side note, I am glad you are a fan of Cardcaptor Sakura too. I was probably most excited about a new season being released than anything else so far this year. I really feel like they could have plans for a third season because I just don't think these 22 episodes seem complete. And when that happens, I probably won't be able to develop a good mental conscious because my mind would only be all about it. Same thing is happening now and there is only one thing to blame:
FREAKING SPYRO REIGNITED TRILOGY BABY!!! ^_^
I was introduced to the little niche Manga industry genre through Bakuman made by the creator duo of Deathnote, and it blew my mind at how interesting a subject like that is. I will also bolster this genre proudly as my favorite
You can see all the episodes of anime he watched from the bags under his eyes.... that's dedication at its finest. Fine job good sir. Fine job.
Steins Gate Zero is a Masterpiece
I also would just like to say that I’ve been watching your reviews for around 3 years now. I found your channel when I first started watching anime and I used your 25-ish anime recommendations as my jumping off point. I found many of my favourite anime series through your recommendations. I love to hear your opinions on various shows; even if I don’t always have the same opinions. I value your opinions on shows and try my best to watch most of the shows you recommend. I am truly grateful for your videos as not only do I find many enjoyable anime series through your videos but I also find genuine enjoyment in simply watching you talk about your opinions on said series. Thank you.
After megalo box I don’t think there would be another popular loves sports animes this year
at least, that does not mean never again :)
Your nerd energy is so amazing. It fuels my nerd energy and brings me joy. You da best.
What's about saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan 2!! Best comedy anime this season!
I know i love this anime so much i hope it gets a third season.
Oh my lanta!!! The moment you said there was a new season for full metal panic! My heart jumped!!!! Finally!!!!! Episode 1 was awesome on to the next episodes.
Gary: We must save my family!
Get out of the door way!!
Choak on my vengeance!!! HOW DOES IT TaStE!!!
For a franchise with a 50 year history of being consistently good, the new Lupin series is unexpectedly good. I've always liked Lupin, but I never knew it could be this tightly constructed.
"Your secret is safe with my indifference." Someone watching Critical Role? :)
"Life needs things to live" Percy is great lol
You don’t cease to amaze me with awesome recommendations. Thank you so much for all you do
This season was so much I had to watch everything. But I was watching too much and dropped everything. Now I only watch one (two at the most) at a time.
SaltyStuff Why would you do that ?
BeThomsen probably dont have time or burnt out
Then Why start so many shows then? Pick the good ones and have fun, simple.
SaltyStuff dude same it's so hard to keep up
I love anime but even then I don;t get how people watch more than 1 show at a time lol. Main reason I don't watch newly aired anime is, if it's good, waiting a week for 20 min episodes are annoying.
I’ve been following MHA and Food Wars week to week (both have been fantastic!) but now I have others I need to add. I actually like the idea of a mid season summary instead of a pre season speculation. Great stuff :D
Sooooo..... You still haven't watched Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan/The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. ????? It's amazing comedy, at least check out the first 3 episodes of season 1 (because in season 1 each episode was like 5-10min)
Ivaylo5 Nobody wants good comedy apperantly
Saiki is easily one of the most underwatched anime of the last couple years versus it's quality imo. It was condemned by being on Funi, being 4 min shorts initially, and now there's no legal stream of season 2, I so wish more people had the chance to watch it.
Saiki K is up there with KonoSuba as being one of my favorite comedies.
I read the manga sooooo
didn't watch the anime
Saiki is legit one of my top 5 favorite anime
A Place Further than the Universe. I originally gained an interest watching Gigguk's video introducing it. It now holds a special place in my heart as one of my favorites of this year and out of all anime I've watched to date, close to, if not favorite of all.
It started initially when the show displayed the relationship of Shirase and Mari and their dynamic of Shirase's "nothing will stand in my way of doing what I want to do" with Mari's "I need to do something worthwhile with my life". As the show went on and the main cast grew to eventually involve the 4 main girls, I realized how invested I became in the writing and character development as a whole, as this, out of all anime I've watched to date was the first in memory to make me smile for extended periods of time EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE.
As if all of that wasn't enough, the straw that broke the camel's back in the best way is the final two episodes. The way the story was laid out by the last minute or so of episode 12 made me cry physical tears which is typically unlike me, as I've never been one to express emotion based on a cue to do so. This mixed with the amazing feeling the rest of the show gave me as a whole cemented this series in my brain as "The Show that Awoke my Emotion", as I went on to watch, enjoy and equally cry at Made in Abyss.
A Place Further Than the Universe hits home much more than I initially realized, most notably on the "Do something with your life, let nothing stand in your way" vibe, that I've begun to adopt its core philosophy, first letting nothing stand in my way of saving and attending TwitchCon this year, and later following that moving to a completely new state, away from most everyone I know IRL, including family to begin a "new season" of life as I begin to get these new feelings of being a "free spirit".
Deepest condolences if this show slipped under the radar, Arkada. I hope to potentially see a review of it and *your* personal thoughts, should you choose to give it a watch. I cannot recommend it enough.
Fall 2015 was amazing.

Fianly someone elso who likes asterisk and doesnt constantly shit on it :)
I concur with Steins;Gate 0. It took me several years to finally get around to watching the original Steins;Gate, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The first few episodes make it very hard to get into, but once you get passed that barrier, you will be in for a ride. And Steins;Gate 0 is one of the best sequels I have ever seen from an anime, it absolutely fantastic!
Hope you review Ashita no joe man. That might get more people into the series. its such a masterpiece
considering how much Megalo Box is hyped and how people praise it/calling it a masterpiece for certain elements like the relationship between "JD and Yuri" (which is just a far weaker version of Joe vs Rikishi) , they will lose their mind of they watch AnJ
I'm not sure about that for modern anime fans. I just hope for the best. episode 11 of megalo box was wow.
I think the main issue with Ashita no Joe is that it's ending has been popular knowledge for too long so everybody know how it ends...and yeah..I don't feel like rooting for a character I know will have THAT end
I bet its the best thing ever. Too bad i wont watch it cause it looks too old for me no matter how good it is
Shouyou Hinata exactly. A lot of people won't watch it even if it is a masterpiece. Best sports series ever along with ashita no joe.
Golden Kamuy, high school DxD Hero, Megalo Box, a actual good SAO, Hinamatsuri, persona 5, Boku no Hero, Ending of Darling Fraxxx, Grancrest War, SHOKUGEKI, two amazing rom-com in Watakoi and Tada-kun and so much more. God Spring was fantastic.
What is this Hinamatsuri show I've been hearing about? Is it as good as the original *Hitomimatsuri* ?
Also, man, it sucks the lack of even a wave or mention to one of the longest most prestigious shows that has been running for decades being left out in the cold. *Lupin the 3rd part V* is just a phenomenal iteration in the Lupin series with great animation, beautiful cinematography and the classic Lupin humor.
THANK YOU! It’s an excellent entry into the series and practically NO ONE is talking about it. I’ve seen zero anime youtubers even bear a passing mention to it. The western fandom always sleeps on Lupin and I’ll never know why. It’s not like you need to have much prior exposure to the series, or even any at all. If people really want a crash course all they have to do is watch the excellent Miyazaki directed film Castle of Cagliostro.
i came into Hinamatsuri blind with no knowledge of the source material and personally i think its one of the funniest shows ive ever seen.
Your reviews help me find Anime I wanna spendt time watching. There where a few I knew and that i am watching for this season but also some there got around my rader. Thank you for a Roundup update for this spring and the start of this summer.
The best part of the video is when that Gate of Steiner starts to play
7th Archangel I know right!!!
Passed over show you missed: Toji no Miko. It's second season is actually pretty good. The first season has actually worth watching characters. Worth a look over
Megalo box episode 11 was the best episode, so intense.
Christian Harris You forgot to type the episode number.
danielsjohnson my apologies , its 11
Christian Harris I legit cried, idk why but that shit was tense
THAT EPISODE
I love megalo box but cause its only like 13 or 12 ep series its moving ridiculously fast and its pacing is just making the fights kinda dull cause there all over in less then an episode and cause of this pacing some rounds are over in mere seconds
I knew he’d talk about about steins; gate. It’s SOOOOOO good and I know how much he loves it
Saiki Kusuo should have been on the Hangups list
Thanks for this list. You've recommended a lot of shows that seem right up my alley, keep up the good work! :)
My hero, Sword art, comic girls, and hinamatsuri were the big hitters this season for me.
I've just watched this video. You probably already know that Dragon Pilot is on Netflix right now. The TG:Re was a great manga. Lots of good recommendations. Thanks for the video.
WHO'S GARY, I WANNA MEET HIM
hello :D
You can't, he's too busy watching literally everything.
You and your recommendations are becoming a bit of a budget killer! XD
Anzumatsuri > Hinamatsuri
Anzu best daughter
I humbly disagree.
Hitomi is GOD
AXZ 96 TRUTH
AXZ 96 Hitomimatzuri
I wish more people would talk about Layton's Mystery Detective Agency--Kana Hanazawa makes an adorable Katrielle, and the mysteries are pretty intriguing, too
To be fair TG:Re is at least decent unlike the previous seasons
Hell nah, apart from the soundtracks of all three seasons, there's nothing good to say about any of the tokyo ghouls
Steins Gate... I had it on the backburner forever... and then watched your rants about it and decided one week wrapped up with the flu. Fuck it... And proceeded to binge the entirety of the show and the movie in 3 days. Stopping for the bathroom and sleep. I even ate while watching it. I didn't move. Its currently in a knife fight with Girls Und Panzer for my favourite series of all time.
you need to do a video about SAIKI please!!
the show is so underrated
abdou ketfi hahaha holy shit yes i can't believe i even like it
I love Golden Kamuy so much. It's got everything I love: a historical setting, gritty environments, interesting characters, an in-depth look at a unique culture and a dark and bloody, but cool adventure. It's like if the Revenant was set in Japan, and had a treasure hunt plot attached to it.
Oh trust me if u see this food wars is definitely worth watching! For me it’s the best of this season.
I was always disappointed in the fact that it seemed there was no way of streaming Wotakoi. Until I made the realization that it was on amazon prime (just now as of me watching this video). A streaming service that I have access to. Now I’m 10 episodes behind! WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boi. Why have you not made a video about FLCL Progressive yet? It's freaking amazing so far.
I assume it is because he may not have legal access to it Canada does not have Toonami as far as i know either that or he is waiting for all of Progressive and Alternative to be out
I’d love to see a video of shows that everyone should watch from Arkada’s perspective. The mention of Kamina levels of fighting spirit makes me think of shows everyone at least needs to have heard of.
1:26 WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY
there are actually a bunch of anime you mentioned that I haven't been watching or didn't even know about, so I guess I have some catching up to do... I've been sticking mostly with romance centric anime this season (and I guess I'm living under a rock because I had no idea that megalo box is as popular as it is, I hadn't even heard of it before you mentioned it...). A show I recommend from this season that I haven't seen people mention yet is Rokuhoudou Yotsuiro Biyori! It's a really nice slice of life anime that revolves around a Japanese tea shop and the guys running it. Very calming and just pleasant to watch
I don't see why you wouldn't watch it illegally if you can't do it legally, even pirate site hating people like Mother's Basement justify watching anime illegally if there's no legal alternative (referring to old anime and countries were the legal methods are inadequate, but I think this should also apply). Since the company doesn't care about it's non-Japanease audience enought to make the series available to us then why should we care about the company?
Actually Summer doesn't look too bad I can already see some guarantee heavy hitters (assuming they didn't fuck up by changing the art too much or the pacing).
Overlord III - no explanation needed.
FLCL Alternative - Same as above.
Grand Blue - The guy who wrote Baka to Test wrote the scrip for the manga, rare manga that can make me laugh out loud in public.
Hanebado! - Solid no super power badminton manga by the guy who did Pajama na Kanojo (I really loved Pajama na Kanojo but it got over shadowed by Nisekoi which released at the same time, sadly was eventually cut after 3 vol).
Satsuriku no Tenshi - Why it is a bad idea to be in parking lots at night, cuz each floor is guarded by a psycho but if you reach the end you might find a amnesiac suicidal loli.
Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki - Interesting piece of history that is going to be bastardize to make samurais look good. the conclusion historically is a bit anti climatic but mysterious. only reason i know this is cuz i took marine archaeology for extra credits. (seriously though you can check out the archaeological finding later it is interesting).
Others
High Score Girl - nostalgia gamer pandering.
Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger - I wish they would just animate Ginwolf BloodBone, but here is Van Helsing in Japan.
Muhyo to Rouji no Mahoritsu Soudan Jimusou - I think I have heard recommendations for this but never got around to read it looks really dope though.
Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa - Kaiji spin-off nuff said.
Iya na Kao sare nagara Opantsu Misete Moraitai - For you Masochist motherfucker out there, and DON'T WATCH THIS WITH SOMEONE ELSE THEY WILL MOST LIKELY REFUSE ACKNOWLEDGE THEY KNOW YOU IN PUBLIC EVER AGAIN.
If you haven't already WATCH FLCL then watch FLCL progressive. You will not regret it. FLCL only has 2-3 episodes, its definitely worth your time
As someone who's never watched the original Cardcaptor Sakura, I can say that Clear Card is extremely enjoyable even without completely knowing the background. You know, if you like fluff.
Of course, yet another seasonal round-up video from an anime youtuber that doesn’t include Lupin Part 5. 😔 Y’all are missing out on one of the best shows airing this season. Will never understand why western fans sleep on this series all the time, it’s downright criminal.
Josh Leitzel probably because it’s the fifth season and if people haven’t grown up with Lupin they aren’t gonna be picking it up
Dio Brando I’ve already explained this in another thread but basically Lupin is like the easiest long-running series to get into. All of the series are standalone. It’s similar to the new Gegege series. While Lupin doesn’t really “reboot” itself with each series, there’s some winks and nods to fans who’ve seen previous shows and movies, the franchise in general is mostly episodic or at least the serialized stories are confined to individual series. In that sense it’s very comparable to Scooby-Doo. That franchise has been going strong since the late 60’s but no one has this notion that you need to actually watch all of it. The characters’ personalities and basic set-up are so simple to understand and appealing no mater where you start, hence their enduring popularity no matter what generation. Just add a lot more James Bond vibes for Lupin.
I didn’t grow up with the series. Its over twice as old as me, lol. I literally only first watched it last year, and that was with part 4. Then I ended up watching a bunch of other stuff because I dug it so much but it’s totally up to people if they want to dig deeper than the newer stuff.
It’s not really the “fifth season” so much as it’s just the fifth main iteration of the series/characters whathaveyou.
It’s a real shame that so many people seem to be under that impression though. Seriously, the idea of a series actually following a serialized narrative for over 50 years is totally bonkers! Lupin’s been around so long precisely because it doesn’t bother with that. Before the Fujiko Mine series in 2012 there really wasn’t any serialized elements in the tv shows, outside of a few two-parters here and there.
That’s why these anime youtubers should be actually covering the series and reassuring people that you can jump in at any point, including the new Part 5. Would help get rid of those misconceptions.
Josh Leitzel lupin is shit, stop this nonsense
I love the way you review anime! And thank you for mentioning my favorite anime(Steins;Gate) off all time with such praise! El Psy Kongroo,
Saiki k was pretty good...
You are the only person I value their opinions as much so I go back to a show I dropped because you said "please."
Awesome video! What do you think about Nanatsu no Taizai S2?
praise the sun
I'm pretty sure that's not been legally released yet.
'except you, GARY. You know who you are.'
"WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY!"
Saiki Kusuo 2?
Amazing!
Don't you see?! It's clear that Dark Reunion is working behind the scenes in a nefarious plot to make sure nobody mentions that amazing show! It would take both of us unsealing the power of our right hands to stop this evil menace!
Байыш Токтосунов yess
Thank you for noticing it was very difficult for me to get that boulder off of me. 2:48 I mean it has been my home for a good long while.
I got one last recommendation:
Nanatsu No Taizai Season 2 aka The Seven Deadly Sins Season 2. I can name you 10,000 reasons why you should watch this show but I'm only going to name one.
Escanor. That is all. Go watch it. Now.
Dalyxman escanor is the reason y I continue to live
"Why would I hate someone who is weaker than I am? I only feel pity for them"
7 deadly has been ok... It's had a few good moments where you really feel that hype, but at the same time there are some things that kinda turn me off about it... power balance for example in this show is wildly inconsistent. Also people coming back from the dead etc. with some fairly questionable or non-existent explanations.
Escanor have brought the hype tho, and I've enjoyed the focus on Ban this season.
I don't think manga readers like the adaptation. It's much like a Tokyo ghoul situation.
As someone who read Tokyo Ghoul, I'm really enjoying the anime now and I'm not the only one... tbh I think Manga readers are probably the ones most happy about this adaptation, because it's actually quite decent. Yes the animation has been really underwhelming, but in terms of story adaptation it has done pretty good with a few blunders here and there, but for the most part not bad at all.
I've seen people complain about the animation, and I understand that, but I don't think it's a reason to write the show off completely. imo watching Tokyo Ghoul for action is kinda like watching Hellsing for romance, sure it's there, but it's not at all the main focus or main draw of the show.
In general I think it's the manga readers who enjoy the new season of Tokyo Ghoul, while anime only people feel really left out, because lets face it... they are being left out...
Thanks for giving Hinamatsuri a mention!!
LEGEND OF THE FRICKING GALACTIC HEROES. Where. is. it??
Progressive seems pretty good so far too, that 1st 2 mins of the 1st episode was amazing!
Haven't watched it yet. No access to Adult Swim in this continent...
The fact Made in Abyss is your pick for anime of the year makes me so fucking happy. It deserves it so much.
Even Boruto has been great this season.
FKIN BORUTO !!
Because it finally got to the stuff from the Boruto movie, which is actually entertaining. It only took 50 episodes to get good lol....
SilverShion Boruto’s been consistently great.
Sh4ggy To be fair, 80% of Battle Shónen need a number of episodes to air before it they become consistently decent. Hitman Reborn didnt become a proper battle Shónen until episode 20ish, Black Clover became watchable by 15-16, hell even Naruto wasn't too thrilling before the Chūnin Exams.
SilverShion I dropped it...can I just skip all the bad shit?
I think you mean Boruto's Dad's Son......... common mistake.
Awesome video, thanks so much for making a video talking about a season when it's almost finished, there are hardly any of these I've found in comparison to the heap of season impressions videos that come out near the start of a season. I still love those, but it's cool to see what shows are worth watching when you can get a better idea of the overall package. Also you mentioned Hinamatsuri, so that makes this video better on its own.
Sword art online is always so controversial. In my opinion people just tend to hate kirito and I don't think having kirito in SAO makes SAO bad, the story could definitely be better but the SAO now has the same things as the original SAO. The main character is over powered because "lucky girl" and she can win tournaments even though it's her first and is sort of new to PVP. People complain about kirito being overpowered even though it had a reason, being a beta tester. A bad reason maybe but better reason than being a lucky girl.
LLENN is just Kirito without harem but gets a pass because "moe," funny thing though it has a lower MAL score than the original SAO, so much for being supposedly better.
Sergio Perea LLEN also has a better personality. She also learned to play the game, as stated that she died multiple times to monsters while training.
She adapted to the game and it makes it more relatable at least to me. Reminds me of me, when I decide to play a game I know nothing about, and learning it's ropes fairly quickly.
The thing is Llenn has the same beginning of being a solo player as Kirito except instead of putting all her time into speeding up her reaction time, instead her character's maxed out the movement speed stat. That's really all there is to it, we've seen in the GGO arc that people putting all their stats into one area can lead to crazy results and this is just that for a different stat. M being a talented marksman and tactician in game and irl was just what sealed the win.
The problem wasn't kirito, it was the original writer. You can have good OP characters like in Overlord, which by the way, I can't wait for it to start again.
I won my very first PUBG mobile for the first time, thou never won after it. And i love the feeling of unpredictability and extreme luck.
Winter 2021: Allow me to introduce myself
UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!
Hinamatsuri managed to break open my list of perfect-rated anime, heretofore reserved for Madoka and One Punch Man. So I basically came to this video to see if/when Hinamatsuri would get mentioned.
I don't know if I'd say it was the best season ever, though. I found a distinct lack of one-tier-down anime - other than Wotakoi - so where last season I was regularly anticipating many different shows this time it's just those two and a bunch of guilty pleasures.
Megalo box is the best of the year easily not counting Legend of the galactic heroes
killerqueen2000 agreed! My brother told me about it and I had low expectations but damn was I wrong! Love the art style
I do not agree that is the best of the year I think it started off great but now its too predictable and the matches are kida the same e.g. Joe gets knocked down, god knows how many times, in the end he wins w 1 punch.
Alb Warrior
It is very cliche but its done decently . episode 11 had cliches but it also had high stakes which is nice.
King of Games
Since I'm a fan of Ashita no joe I expected this to at least be decent. Its nowhere near as good as the masterpiece that joe is but its a pretty decent series
Clorox Bleach Lord agree xD
as someone who's been reading Hinamatsuri: Watch it. That shit is comedy GOLD. They manage to bring all of the quirky hilariousness of the manga onto the screen and it's just a goddamn treasure to watch.
Please review Assassination Classroom and mob psycho 100.
Shubham Kumar just watch them both are good :)
yes!
I've watched them oth. just want to see them in his review. especially AC because he sowed some doubt in his FR for it.
He did season one of Assassination classroom awhile ago but I would love a season 2 review.
AdvancedSoda where?? all I can find is the first reaction.
I’d say Fall 2014 and Spring 2016 are still the strongest of recent years.
Megalo box is extremely overrated. I just don't the get why people are so into it. The story is just complete trash. There is nothing compelling about it. Almost each episode was a let down in it's own way. The fights barely had any depth to them. There was no sort of progress being made in his skills. He takes a bunch of punches and then one hit to his opponent and he wins. From the beginning he talks about "real megalo boxing" and somehow they carry this plot point to the end fight. It's just regular boxing by the end, nothing 'megalo' about it. Not to mention the O LY reason he won was because Yuri didn't have enough energy to keep fighting after the surgery. The guy couldn't even sit down from round fucking 1! Stop praising that anime as if it's something new and ground breaking. The concept was good but the story was trash. He is able to keep taking punches till the other person gets tired. That's his whole fucking strategy. The best part of this anime was the guy who went to war and was betrayed by his coach. The rest was absolutely trash.
I agree. It's complete garbage.
John Doe The anime is not trash, it is decent. But I have to agree, it is overrated. I completely agree about the fight strategy. It was really predictable and kinda boring. But still it was decent. Not complete trash
Hugtto Precure would be another good addition to the carryover from winter. For a show aimed at a younger audience its surprising good.
sao is still bland for me but mha is godlike
Oh man, when Hisone to Masotan comes out on Netflix you're gonna be in for a treat.
its pronounce "FRANXX" not "FRANAX" get your facts straight Arkada :P
It’s still shitty.
If I was Arcada, I would say Franax just to piss people off
Bill Barlettano And he’s be wrong and we’d laugh at him. Let’s not move away from betterment.
F A C T S
Oh Xanax?
Thanks for bringing the snap static back
