I finally started Kaiji and I'm at episode 4 so far. This show is really awesome so far and each episode made me want to see what happens next. Hard to believe this show is nearly 10 years old (I didn't know what it was until March 2013 when I saw a trailer for the live action adaption of the manga) because the animation still looks good (expect for the CG).

I can't wait to watch the rest of season one and season two soon.

Without knowing your tastes or whatever anime you've already seen so as to not suggest those? Not really. I could recommend Cowboy Bebop or Fullmetal Alchemist. Maybe Death Note or One Punch Man. Have you heard of this lesser-known series, Attack on Titan?

I started watching My Love Story!!, 4 episodes in. It seems charming so far. Takeo is a pretty fun character. He is goofy and kind, but also won't shy away from punching bad guys in the face. Suna started off as a really boring dude, but he seems to really care about Takeo so he is starting grow on me. Still seems like he is a bit dead inside though. Yamato is an angel. Her purity and cuteness levels probably reach past exosphere. She is not a particularly interesting character though so while her cuteness is close to melting me right now, I fear that I'll eventually get tired of it. Otherwise the show is occasionally a bit funny, but it hasn't made me really laugh out loud yet.

When Takeo and Yamato are put side by side, the size difference is a bit distracting even. Things like this and that pop into my head for some reason.... Yeah, uhh.. sorry.

Such differences do work out in real life. My niece is 4' 11" and her husband is close to 6'. They have two rather large boys. The human body is designed to handle a "variety" of options.

No doubt it can work out. Just there might be some minor inconveniences. Yamato can probably just barely reach Takeo's head. Or sometimes I'm not sure if she can even do that.

Not exactly Anime but there is a YouTube channel where anime girl plays video games.
Basically a YouTube version of Waifu.
I think this one is pretty good.

Been watching another 2016 show New Game: its a very cute comedy perhaps something like The Office meets K-On!, I am watching it from Digibro's recommendations. He has very good taste in anime. Besides that I am also watching the second season of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. Pretty good stuff containing the charm of JoJo's over the top style although I am finding the concept of "stands" to be rather silly (the skill used in the first season was better IMO).

I really enjoyed New Game as well. I'm pretty sure I remember some recent announcment that there will be a second season, yee-haw. I'm already on record as saying JoJo's is god-like. It took me a bit to get used to the whole "Stands" thing too, but once I did, I really came to appreciate the conceit.

It takes some getting used to because, in my opinion, Araki was too abrupt in how Stands overtook Hamon. He should have had Stands slowly fade into memory rather than forgetting about it almost entirely between the final chapter of Battle Tendency and the first chapter of Stardust Crusaders. Either way, I think you'll find that Stands are the better shounen superpower in the end. If the second half of Part 3 doesn't win you over on them, Diamond is Unbreakable definitely will.

Progress Report:

Wanted to watch something, but ended up caving in to watching Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir instead. Expect my next recap of Ouran to be Tuesday at the earliest, because tomorrow I'm going to Disneyland (President's Day didn't work out), and the next morning, I'll be at the dentist for my toothache. Sorry guys. Later.

How long have you been dealing with that toothache? Glad to hear some relief is on the way!

Too long for my taste. -__-

Anyway, what anime have you been watching lately?
