If you're looking for fujobait series with plenty of bishounen characters you should check out legend of the galactic heroes.

Setting aside thoughts about design choices for a moment, I think that this is a good thing. I want to see more like this (i.e. non-sitcom/kids shows) coming out of the western 2D animation industry and hope that the launch of Ellation Studios and the Crunchyroll Originals label will mark a turning point for the industry as a whole.
With that said I do like the look of the show from a visual design standpoint; the characters designs are quirky, and as much as they are argubly run into the ground a bit I'd be lying if I denied being a sucker for medieval fantasy settings. Also calling the four main characters Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme is a nice touch that got a giggle out of me; unfortunately they don't reveal much else about it but hopefully we're going to get more info+a trailer that better represents what we'll actually be seeing closer to its release.
Twitch is gonna start marathoning Pokémon anime this upcoming Monday, August 27. because why not
man that sounds like a disaster especially when they reach gens 3 and 5 but i hope it pans out well

my fist anime, and most people would have the same, is the famous pokemon series. one of the few animes that does not sound akward when in english...

Rurouni Kenshin was a show that I caught episodes of as a kid, but surprisingly only just sat down to watch through. I'm surprised at how remarkably similar to Trigun it is. Wandering man who refuses to kill faces off with wacky body enemies. But while Trigun came later, I also think it's a lot better in every way. Kenshin is very formulaic so far. Goon in town causes trouble. "I can't possibly beat them, that I can't". Beats them. It's nice that Sanosuke and Yahiko actually get fight relevance, but holy crap does Kaoru get treated like chopped liver. In the season 1 finale, Kenshin doesn't want her to fight... even though he brings her student! Which of these two should be the better fighter? Yahiko is like 10, so strength doesn't even come into it. Anyway, I haven't seen the Kyoto arc yet where it is said to get good, but Trigun has already ended fantastically at this point.
Hunter x Hunter is one of the most confusing shows I've ever seen, mostly because people seem to actually like it. The 2011 series is definitely better produced than most shounen anime and everything about the show is very different, but these things don't make a show good. So we left off last time with the fight with Uvogin. This is the high point of the series it seems. After such a well done segment and with half the York New story arc to go, the characters then spend 10 episodes just pissing around before an anti-climax. And that's the best arc, except for those who think Chimera Ant is best, which I heard is 60 episodes of one 5 minute battle. "It's just worldbuilding". I don't even know what a Hunter is at this point. People's ability to overrate shonen continues to astound me.
When I saw episode 1 of Revolutionary Girl Utena, I was in love with the style. Then I saw episode 2 and I was bored. Nothing interesting has happened in the plot yet. Only worth watching for the shadow girl segments.
Bingo Martin Sangatsu, Rakugo, Flip Flap, Humanity Has Declined
So I've wanted to watch Flip Flappers for a long time because Martin raved about it and it looked pretty. And I've definitely seen worse soft-core loli porn. But pretty to look at is basically all Flip Flappers amounts to, that and copious plot holes.
But I fucking hated Humanity Has Declined. I do not understand it in the slightest. It's not funny. The worldbuilding sucks. I have no clue what the story's goal is or what I'm supposed to take away. I feel like Eric Andre made this anime just so that he could show it during an interview and film his guest's confusion. I at least understand what Gintama is trying to do; I don't remotely understand why westerners like it. And at least Gintama has the good sense to know that most of its plots shouldn't be dragged out over two episodes. This leads us to The Faerie's Time Management, one of the worst two parters I've ever seen in my life.

i am also watching hunter x hunter and remain mildly interested yet unimpressed. but hey, i am only 10 episodes in. my guess is ppl are reeled in by how fucking cute gon and killua are
It's official
Lupin III Part V AOTY
Lupin III Part V AOTY
i still need to catch up. the coup arc is kidn of a slog but the arc w/ albert hits all the right notes + i liked all the self contained eps so i have high hopes. it will probably end up being my aoty too since hugtto has been dipping in quality recently.
hunterx hunter first arc is literally garbage until the scene with illumi vs killua whcih is a sudden 10/10 scene. currently in middle of zoldyck arc, which is maybe like 5-6/10 territory atm, but has lots of cool characters for sure
