I'm a little sick of this. I find an anime i think looks nice, only to find it's only the first first few volumes of a manga.
I understand anime likes to cross promote other things like manga, dvds, figures, cds, and other shit. But not fully adapting source material is frustrating.
If partial adaptations bother you then you're going to have a bad time with 19/20 adaptations.
Or original source material gets a cliff hanger and there isn't any manga to fall back on.
tv anime just isnt a moneymaker. it's all a commercial for the manga, figures, and blurays
Okay, I'm going through anichart to plan out next season.

I think hiring Beaker to sing the OP is a really bold choice.
Is that a catgirl anime? Sign me up!
Can't get enough of those sweet sweet headpats.
Yeah, joking about the op aside, it does look really comf-
um, about that...
tbh I don't think I've ever watched a catgirl anime, are they good?

I would recommend.
Started watching Planet With. Didn't expect my ears to get blasted by sound effects turned up to 200% volume compared to the rest of the show.
planet without your ears
Planet With suffers from an awful sound design trend that was relatively common a couple of years ago and has mostly died off, with the occasional show shattering your ears with overmixed, poorly mixed, too loud, too quiet, crackling sound effects that don't sound like anything and are incredibly repetitive.
Just remind yourself that it could always be worse and be grateful that Planet With tones it down a bit as it goes along. It could sound like this.

That was actually improperly mixed by funimation when it came out here, they made it way louder than intended. I mean it was still loud in the fixed version but you could still hear other things instead of
just the sound of your ears breaking
Been making my way through HxH over the past few weeks. Just finished the Chimera Ants arc (12 episodes left).
The King was a really interesting character. I felt like the arc dragged a bit (especially the long ass narrated fights) and I didn't really give a shit about all the lower tier chimera ants (seriously, stop trying to make me care about the fucking octopus), but I enjoyed the King and his relationship with the girl. I didn't expect to feel bad for him by the end.
Netero was kind of a badass. His fight vs Meruem was good although it felt a bit dumb that the King survived (initially at least).
I'll probably pick up the manga where the show left off when I finish, but I still hope we get somewhere with Gons dad before that (which I guess we will since he showed up at the end of the last ep).
Hero Academia is perfectly watchable without any prior knowledge if you start from the beginning. There are a lot of characters, but they are all well and clearly introduced, along with their name visible on screen so you will have no problem following it even if you start from zero.
the OP has a bunch of anime recommendations based on votes by us so take a look at those and pick whichever seem interesting
Huh, Gochiusa OVA in 2019 and season 3 in 2020.
Starting Hanebado! Starts off really serious. Thought this was a fanservice anime.
It's not as good as Brotherhood but it has some pretty interesting alternate takes on stuff so I think it's worth watching through personally. Also as a recommendation, Ghost in the Shell (the movie as well as Stand Alone Complex) is pretty good. And if you enjoyed GitS then Psycho-Pass would also be a good one to give a watch.
Well I finished HxH (2011). A bit slow and drawn out at some points, and some characters I didn't care about but overall it was really good.
Kind of a shame the rest of the story probably wont be adapted but it ended at a good point.
Trying to decide what to watch next now, probably between:
Cowboy Bebop
FMA:B (Actually started watching it ages ago but sort of forgot about it, will probably start fresh)
Steins Gate
And maybe Naruto if I can bring myself to start a 720 episode series.
I really wish there was a place people rated the dubs of shows or something. I generally prefer dubs as long as they are decent but some really are so bad they detract from the show. Aside from asking around there doesn't seem any good way to find out which one to watch.
Hoping you guys could help me out here as I'm completely lost.
If it's the wrong section then I apologise.
So there's this Touhou song which I like called "Keep the memory alive" from the album THE LEAP // SHOWDOWN - Zytokine. This one:
https://youtu.be/k4t5Hrjryl8
For the life of me I CANNOT find its lyrics, after searching loads of sites
I just want to know what it's about.
Do you guys know what it's about, or where I can find the lyrics
It's really irritating to not know
Cowboy Bebop has a really good dub. Steins;Gate as well, but it gets a little cringy (it's set in 2011 after all)
Did some searching for the song title along with 隣人 whom wrote the lyrics and 歌詞 which is Japanese for "lyrics" and I came across this site.
https://thwiki.cc/%E6%AD%8C%E8%AF%8D:KEEP_THE_MEMORY_ALIVE
Lyrics are near the bottom. Google Translate results in something about eternity, flower petals and memories, which fits with Yuyuko's lore.
Try asking here: Touhou Project V2
Steins;Gate's dub is NOT good. Okabe's voice actor can't even pull off his laugh right, the jokes from the original are ruined, Kurisu sounds like she recorded with a tin can and not a microphone.
all of the 'jokes' in the dub are so incredibly lame and cringy holy shit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_mslZSL9Z84
this wasn't even a joke in the original she was just singing a jingle but they tried to force comedy out of it.
All three are great choices, I would say start with either Cowboy Bebop or Steins Gate since you just got done with a fantasy action series, which those two don't fall into.
If you end up watching the English dub of Steins Gate you have to make sure you still have English subtitles for on-screen text, because there are lots of scenes where the characters are just reacting to cell phone messages or other text, and without that translation, it's kind of disorienting.
I know a lot of people don't like the English dub because the writers inserted a lot of memeshit that's now really dated, but I'm kind of an apologist for it. I went to a panel that the lead voice actor/script writer hosted at an anime convention, and he talked about adaptive screenwriting in general. His perspective is that when you see some pop-culture reference or pun or play on words that only a Japanese audience would get, it's better to just change the joke in dubbing, because the point of the joke originally is not to make any particular profound statement about the world, but just to say something that the audience is in on, and that speaks to the characters. It's better than working in clumsy translator's notes when the audience is un-invested enough in Japanese culture that they're watching a dub in the first place.
But, that said, I don't think it was the best idea to add memey lines like "unbreakable code is unbreakable" and "_____ for the win." This also doesn't speak to the quality of the acting, which I personally didn't have a lot of issue with, but if other people did, I guess it's understandable.
steins;gate's dub is more or less the standard dub quality, if you dont mind dubs you wont mind steins;gate's (at least from what i remember)
though them replacing okabe's engrish scene with "speaking jive" is unforgivably cringey
