Anime Discussion (2021)

[Kirby101]

I got a promo email for Nehza Reborn on Netflix. The CG animation looks great. I see they also have the original Nehza. Also looks good. Does it live up to the animation?

[Speed Force League Unlimited]

Would you recommend not watching at all?

I haven't watched any of the series myself, so my recommendation cannot be made based on my experience with the quality dip everyone online speaks of. I think that it might be worth watching considering the possibility that it could be at least entertaining to you.

[WestPhillyPunisher]

I enjoy nice and charming slice of life shows and recently started a new series the other night...Super Cub. This show centers around a quiet and lonely high school girl who finds friends and adventure after buying a used motorbike. The show is airing on Funimation.

Haven't seen very many, but my definite choice for "slice-of-life/fantasy" anime would be...

Cardcaptor Sakura





As for "sci-fi" anime, I'd recommend Alien Nine (though the manga delves deeper, especially when it comes to relationships):

My Youtube friend who usually sticks to Wrestling has decided to branch out to cover current Manga/Anime. He starts by giving his thoughts on the Dragon Ball Super Manga and the Dragon Ball Heroes Anime -

Faraway Paladin is getting an anime, one of the few new isekais that isn't a harem power fantasy.

Thanks. Saw cardcaptor before. Never saw alien nine. Will check it out.

Box office update--

Demon slayer movie has a 100 score on RT! It was in the 90s a few days ago and went up! Keep in mind there are only 6 reviews so far. Still 100 is crazy.

People in japan confused on why america made a pg-13 film R rated!

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture...layer-ratings/


Reviews are out---

“Ufotable’s stunning visuals alone make ‘Demon Slayer the Movie: Mugen Train’ worthwhile, even if the film stumbles a bit in the climax.” – IGN Movies.

“Japan’s highest-grossing film is like a nightmare that refuses to end, it’s a derailed journey.” – Nobody reads this but me.


“Those who follow the series will find the film essential, those who don’t will want to follow it to let the film go blank.” – Variety.

“This is not just a film about the battles between humans and demons, but about the friendship between constantly changing characters.” – Chronicle of San Francisco.

“Visually ambitious and full of action, not to mention the striking style of the television series. It’s not the most obvious candidate to see in movie theaters, but it’s worth it. ” – Deadline.

Chainsawman's mangaka did an interview with Animenewsnetwork:
- said he would like to have an R 18 crossover with the Avengers.
-The anime trailer's coming out in June
-Chainsawman Part 2 will be a completely different thing from the first series
-People say Jump+ is more relaxed with authors than the main Shonen Jump but according to him there's no difference.

I've heard that the manga is excellent, and the anime is already a contender for worst of the year. Bonus points given for mucking up such excellent source material on the level of that M. Night guy....
