Still need to watch the last couple of eps but I thought it was a really solid light romance, I enjoyed it a lot.

I got up to Chapter 15 or so before taking a break. The monthly release schedule hurt it for me but I plan on getting back into it once more chapters are released. There's also Bakuman to read if you like the team behind this and Death Note although it is a completely different beast, being about the manga industry itself and a duo's journey to becoming one of the top mangaka in Jump.

:shock: :o

2018 is off to a good start! I wonder if it was ever any good. I've just watched like 3 minutes and I can already feel this was a genuinely good show! Glad it wasn't just nostalgia that made me think it was good :D

I need too get around to watching the Japanese sub version some day just to see how different the western dub version really was because apparently they didn't have the full scripts to translate from and just made a lot of it up as they went along :lol:

As I understand it the Japanese version is a lot less comedic in nature.

The dub theme tune was also sung whilst drunk I believe.

That's from Citrus, right? Should I watch it? I was worried it might be 2serious4me but the gif seems to say otherwise.

It's a bit cereal but watch it anyway.

One thing I want to watch is Cardcaptor Sakura. i never saw it growing up and there's a new series which debuted and is apparantly very good!

The thing with Samurai Pizza cats got me wondering what other shows from my childhood might be on Youtube and I found they had Kassai and Luk! But it's in French :x

Damnit!



Did they have it in the UK? I remember watching it before going to school in the mornings.

Dagashi Kashi season 2 Episode 1 was funny, but the new animators have changed the character designs for imo the worse :(

Started watching Devilman: Crybaby. I was expecting it to be more like the old Devilman anime. It's very different if memory serves me well.

That sounds great - thanks, JMJ.

Jam-Master Jay wrote:...and its follow-up Tokyo Ghoul:re are awesome...Also, if you enjoyed Death Note it may be worth checking out the new series by the authors called Platinum End...

I hadn't known that there was a follow-up. I have the English (Viz Media) paperback books 1-4; and I believe that the fourth book only came out just before Christmas. I'll keep an eye open for Ghoul:re and Platinum End. Thanks again!


>>> Back from the dead! <<<

So, two years ago this month I started Tokyo Ghoul, mentioned it here and Jay kindly shared some thoughts. Stuff then happened and I stopped reading for no good reason. But - here in 2018 - I've returned to the series and I'm reading book two. It's ace and I have also picked up the first two books of the subsequent "Re:" series for when I've finished. Tokyo Ghoul is back in my life :toot: .

I watched some anime where a kid gets sent a parcel from his dad who is an adventurer or something travelling around the globe and it's a coffin (not a sarcophagus!) with a tiny mummy in it who he befriends.
