So, I went and watched another...

Koi to Uso - You know when you say "Wait a minute... I didn't see the keyword 'hentai' in the description" that you're in for an awkward time. :p This is a series about how the Japanese government instituted a system that chooses your spouse, and will deliver that to you starting around your 16th birthday. I think both have to be at least 16, so you don't always get it exactly when you turn 16. As you can guess, the main character doesn't want his wife decided for him as he has been in love with a girl for the last few years. Well, let's just say when someone says, "I want to kiss you... and do other things...", and the two start making out (complete with spit line)... I'm going to be :eek::oops:. They introduced a couple little things that'll likely turn this into a weird sort of suspense series, but I'm not entirely sure. Although, I could probably solve this series really quickly... just. leave. Japan. Kinda hard to make you get married if you're not there anymore. :p Anyway, I may watch this one to see where it goes, but I am a bit wary of it turning into an awkward ecchi at times!

everything after the first few arcs is just rinse and repeat. you realise Dragon Ball started airing in Feb 1986 right? Probably older than you.

Everything before Trunks time arc sucked. The animation was bad and the filler, repeats is eye wrenching. I'm from the 90s how old are you may I ask?

Saw the first season of Ajin (Demi Human). I liked the concept and the fact that they got into some of the mechanics of it. Some parts were hard to watch. It sort of meanders for most of the season. It's not until the end that it starts to have some direction and an overarching plot.

I liked the art work. It's sort of retro and fuzzy but I liked it. Second season might be better especially with Kei's personality.

but the story and action scenes are really good though. Same with Berserk 2017 the animation is more plastic and fake than Kim Kardashian family put together but the story is good etc

Best arc is Trunks timeline arc and everything before that is garbage! To people who want to start Super I recommend watching Trunks time arc first and skip everything before that.

Finally, like 15 weeks finding all 10 teammates and now the tournament start... talk about milking the series.

the Zamasu arc, yes. plus i think that has the baseball episode (U7 vs U6) at the end which is my favourite ep of all dragon ball. better even than Goku and Picolo learning to drive.

I love DB to be honest and like it all but prefer the movies to cover the 1st 2 arc (GoD and RoF). Arc 3 (universe 6 tournament) is decent and introduces Hit and SSBKKx10 showing Gokus progression

Story was ok. I didn't buy into it too much. Gave up half way through S2

I watched a few more anime over the past few days...

Kakegurui - This story revolves around an academy where gambling and mind games take center stage after classes are over. We first meet this guy who's considered a loser, and finds himself in deep debt with this shrewd, conniving girl. However, a new girl comes in and starts to shake things up. I'd say that the biggest thing that you'll notice in this series is the art style. It definitely has a sort of "grotesque" style that you tend to see in more seinen shows -- the style where a character can look all cute one moment and nasty and snarling the next. Honestly, it'll probably remind you a bit of Hellsing. It's a somewhat interesting show as it has a sort of "how'd you do it?" mentality, but I'll have to see where it goes. Will it focus more on the guy and be one of those "learns to be better" series? Will it focus more on the girl's rise as a transfer student except through the eyes of the guy?

Nana Maru San Batsu - Sort of like the last series, the animation is what stuck out on this one the most to me. It wasn't a certain style like the other, but rather... it seemed a bit low budget. As for the series, it's fine... I guess? It's about a bookworm that gets drawn into the world of competitive quizzes (like team-based Jeopardy). The series didn't seem bad or anything, but I guess nothing really stood out. If you say it's kind of like a sports anime, it'll certainly be a bit of a daunting task to make it nail-biting... especially since the kid is already the prodigy type.

Konbini Kareshi - Eh, honestly... this one was kind of boring. I was expecting it to have a stronger focus on humor and such (given the focus on the convenience store), which I think it tries to, but it's not... at all. I might watch another one to see if it focuses more on the whole multi-situational aspect that the description proposed as this one mostly focused on a single guy's crush.

Tsurezure Children - So, this is one of the two short series that I've checked out, and spoilers... they've probably been the best so far. Sort of like the promise of Konbini Kareshi, this series focuses on multiple people in school and their awkward interactions based upon quirky personalities. Pretty much every story focuses on love or relationships in some shape or form, but it's definitely not a romance... especially when you consider that one story has a guy blackmail a girl into kissing him. It's a goofy series, but if you like silly comedy with a dash of romance, check it out.

Aho-Girl - This is another series full of awkward characters that focuses on a girl who is considered the epitome of stupid, and the people who have to deal with it -- mostly being her crush and childhood friend. Of course, her childhood friend wants nothing of her, and routinely knocks some sense into her.. rather physically. :p It's an awkward, goofy series that you don't have to think much about. Just relish in how dumb it is.


I've got a few more to check out still....
