One Piece
Hunter x Hunter
Jujutsu Kaisen
One Punch Man
Mob Psycho 100

all shounen with good writing

but all of these still have moments where you have to suspend your disbelief and remember it’s just a cartoon lol. But yeah, TR not anywhere near touching those classics

That's true but it never bothers me when they do

To be fair, you kind of have to do this with every anime lol. They are cartoons. Personally I don't like hxh or one piece, but Jujutsu, One punch and Mob are all fire.

I mean, the reason he changed is cause he spent his life chasing was becoming number 1 hero, even going as far as basically genetically engineering his kids to reach that goal in case he couldnt, but when he finally got to that point he realized what he lost to reach that goal, mostly his family. He started by changing his views on being a hero, going from a selfish brute who only thought about destroying his foes into a hero acknowledging of his position of the #1 hero and all the responsiblities that come with it. Next is his relationship with his family. He knows that his family might not accept his apologies no matter how much he tries to right his wrongs but he's still going to try because he wants to be part of that family again. The message here to me is that every person deserves a second chance in life. He was a toxic a****** who sacrificed his family for his selfish goals but hes willing to apologize for his wrongdoings and change as a person

This whole season hasnt been that good tbh. Glad they're seemingly keeping the villains arc for next season, heard thats a great one

i agree, that’s what i said on the previous page

My bad then bro

I might be wrong but I didn't see him take full accountability. Sorry for hitting your mom sorry for abusing you sorry for ruining your childhood. Also this has been going on for years. I'm assuming this happened with the older siblings too so like 25 years of this man's life he didn't have time to reflect only after he becomes the #1 hero? Literal decades when he could've paused and reflected at any moment. This is a character more cruel than most MHA villains.

it’s all good lmao

He hasnt completely you're right, his apologies have only been accepted by shoto's mom and sister after all, and it seems he has to go the extra step with natsu and shoto. Its not easy for any of the parties involved and i think the show has succeeded in showing that, and especially endeavor has to work very hard to right his wrongs and join the family again, and even if it seems shoto wants to forgive him, endeavor needs to give him a final motive to do so. I havent read the manga so i dont know how it will be resolved but as of now im satisfied with how its been handled. The situation is recognized by all parties as a difficult one to deal with, and endeavor's family isnt quick to forgive him, which also works for endeavor's character since both him and us are not completely satisfied yet with his character

s*** like this is why i needed to make a best compositing category for my personal awards

Do you guys f*** with dubs? I have only watched a few that actually do the the anime justice and want some recommendations. Most are soo bad that I honestly cannot believe it compared to the original.

Finished watching and reading Bloom into You recently. There’s a s*** ton of video essays and write ups on this show already so I don’t wanna say much. The show explored things like longing for connection and being conflicted with which “version” of yourself is the real you. I appreciate small details in the way the characters gradually changed such as how they look and talk to each other. Overall… worth the watch/read if you wanna switch it up from the usual roms/coming of age.

Gotta mention the OST might be my favorite in any rom I’ve seen. Also ep 6 river scene

besides most of the animes that were on toonami/adult swim nah sub all the way

You're probably spot on. I just got into manga and was tired of reading Japanese translated to English.. So I tired the Dr Stone dub.. Jesus Christ lol. After two episodes I was done and switched to subbed.

now it’s time to watch QQ

Gonna watch that soon. Running thru chihayafuru still

Is chihayafuru good? It seems like something I would not like, but I have seen it praised over and over again.

I’m like 8 eps in and I like it a lot. You wouldn’t expect Karuta to be so cool till you see it being played

trust me you gonna like it bro

The thing is this applies for absurdities that make sense in the context of the world of that story.

TR MC is just stupid, there’s nothing else to it. This isn’t overthinking anything, because he stays stupid no matter when he is.

I can look past the 12 yr old starting a whole gang empire and killing mf having whole wars though cause like you said it’s anime.

yea i prefer them most of the time. i have trouble making out differences in vocal inflections and tone in Japanese and thats such a huge part of language imo

everyone i see says most dubs are horrible but i really havent run into too many that i dont enjoy
