I accidentally read a major spoiler for the rest of the Sailor Moon series and I'm really sad about it now

 

[lexus]

I finally finished all 200 episodes of Sailor Moon. I'm so sad it's over, but it's such a good show

Tatami Galaxy is not bad, but it's so tiring to watch. Mushishi was same when I read it. There is just tons of dialogue and it's bit hassle to get through episodes. You have to pay attention, really not good show for binging.

Thinking of making an insane attempt to watch all of Haikyuu to catch up to the current season. Watched season 1 a few years ago but don't remember any of it.

Ha! This is cute

Would a 4th rewatch be overkill?

I mean I started watching hanako kun when it was 4 eps in and I already loved it enough that I was struggling not to go rewatch it. But now with ep 5 and 6 and now 7 I just can't hold back anymore

If they leave anime in the middle of sth, you will have to pick up manga

I'm already getting myself mentally prepared

I agree with u in that as anime only it doesn't rly feel like stuff doesn't make sense, though I get manga readers not wanting to have content cut either xd It's kinda opposite problem as with One Piece- the anime is trying it's hardest to scretch everything out to not catch up with manga, but lot of shorter animes are cutting things down to fit to time slot.

In other hand, there is stuff for u to discover if you pick up the manga so that's nice too have some extra content to look forward. I read Koe no katachi recently and it was interesting how compared to movie some things were different all together and then you got some additional thoughts and info from the characters to certain situations that happened to movie as well but weren't as developed. And it provided more reasoning on things that happened in the movie. So if you go anime first and then manga, things like that are plus for sure ^^

About reading manga, I think how hard it is depends on series a bit. If it's dialogue heavy manga then it will be heavier to read. I remember struggling to get through Mushishi when I was in high school, I felt like I needed English dictionary with me and even that wouldn't be enough xd But shonen series in general tend to be more easier reads, the dialogue is usually pretty short and panels less detailed, you can read tens if not hundred chapters a day with some of those : )

The really ironic thing about this is that i'm doing literal gymnastics avoiding spoilers the manga readers are posting just because they're either upset a detail wasn't added or they're teasing the anime only saying like 'oh just wait until this happens' and it's like well I know that happens now >.> I've avoided all major spoilers and I think I saw a few minor ones but I either forgot them by scrolling by quickly and distracting myself OR I cant tell if they're spoilers or fan theories/fantasies about what they want to happen. I've been relatively safe but an anime youtuber had to make a video since he had so many spoilers in his comments that he isn't reading comments anymore until he finishes the series.

Yess this is what i'm excited for. Since I know there are 2 defined arcs that were cut out of the anime, and like I said I don't think it's hurting the anime cutting them cuz it still makes sense, but it's definitely going to be fun seeing a more detailed story and ofc more of the characters ~

I have a friend who says she prefers manga because she can read it quickly, I think it's just a case of practice mostly. The more experience u have reading it the easier it is, I just never started reading it because I don't want my experience of the story to be ruined by me working out how to read each page. I read a World of Warcraft comic once which was very similar to manga style but it was so easy for me because it was read left to right, the right to left really throws off my concentration, but hopefully I can practice enough in the first few chapters of Hanako before the cut arcs that I get a better hang of it~

Hanako-kun manga readers are notorious with spoiling already, I can't rly post my theories that are based on anime without manga readers pointing out how my theory is wrong and what actually happens.. Also if i'm asking something it doesn't mean i'm asking to be spoiled it's just me wondering stuff and asking what others think based on anime xd

I have to see if I will pick up manga, if they announce another season for anime I probably won't, but if they won't I might xd

I think you get used to it quite quickly though.. but if I have read lot of manga and then western comic after it I usually accidentantly read wrong way couple times while reading xd

 

[blueberries]

I think I said earlier that Hanako-kun is my favorite of the season, but I have to say that Dorohedoro has gotten past it. The show is just amazing as long as ur not squemish about some gore or looking for most common anime pretty bois/girls.

The show is tagged as horror, but the dark comedy and absurdity of the situations.. as well as nonchallant attitude the characters have towards violence not only towards others but also towards themselves cuts that horror a lot, it's not show to get scared or anxious at. There is rly likeable cast that doesn't follow common anime tropes and it's kinda refreshing how there isn't clear good guys and clear bad guys, everyone is just looking after themselves and their friends. I also love mystery anime and this anime is full of it, and surprises too you never know what will happen next xd

Ebisu cuteness

Me after episode 8

Spoiler: for blueberries my hanako friend in case u haven't seen it yet

Just wanted to put this in a spoiler bc the ending of the last ep was so funny I thought this would be a funny/cute ep

On another note the horror aspect is really coming through, I know MAL doesn't classify it as horror but although it isn't scary I feel like it still has some horror aspects in the story which gives what otherwise would have been just a really cute comedy show a really serious and dark undertone throughout and I luv that sm

I just saw it and yes the horror elements are coming through now. I was surprised just how dark the ep was, there wasn't much of comedic relieves that other eps have had. It was just sad and dark.

Ik I think it was a really nice contrast with the ending of the last episode tho, like the comedy was so intense they played heavy rock guitar over Mitsuba's speech so a more mellow tone for the next episode was fitting~ Did you spot Tsukasa in the op with the green haired girl sakura? I mean he's always been in the OP but I only noticed that it was him at the end and not our Hanako until the last episode and then in my 4 rewatches :^) I noticed the black orbs and paper thing on his face instead of white
