The more I think about it, the more I think I just don't like animes where some kid is the chosen one. I don't mind stories around school aged kids, I just rapidly tune out once I realize the storyline has them as overpowered.

I'm fine with Kuroko's basketball, Blue box, Dandadan, but I think I'm done with Tougen Anki. Demon Slayer was fine. Kids with unique situations are fine as long as they aren't OP.

Same as older anime like Hikaru no Go. It's fine he had a cheat code, but they never went down the path where he was unreasonably OP. Kinda like the Queen's gambit.

Wow the first episode of Season 3 of One Punch Man is awful. One Frame Man.

They saved all the money for the fight scenes right? Right?

Season 2 of Kaiju No. 8 Kaiju No. Sucked. An entire season of filler and a finale that made me wonder if I had the episode numbers wrong. What an odd choice by them and I wonder if there were massive budget cuts or something because that was a room temperature soft poo of a season.

I still enjoyed it enough to watch the whole season and I'm pretty prone to dropping anime mid season now. But hopefully next season it gets better.

Kind of funny it's the opposite of Solo Leveling.. I thought that season 1 of that show was really overrated, but season 2 actually got me into it more. Kaiju No. 8 was the opposite.

Dan Da Dan was great, looking forward to more of that show.

Not sure what to watch this season, maybe time to catch up on some other shows. My Hero Academia and Spy x Family are the only ones so far I've committed to. To Your Eternity for sure when I catch up with Season 2 of that.

I'll have to wait for some early review roundups to see if there's anything else worth watching.

May I ask for One Final Thing is pretty fun. I don't wanna spoil the basic premise because it's satisfying to see but it's definitely a show I'll be following through to the end.

I've heard great things about Digimon Beatbreak too. Apparently the best Digimon since Digimon Savers / S5 which is nearly twenty years old. (Savers is my second favourite Digimon after Tamers / S3)

I'm also enjoying "A Wild Last Boss Appears" and "Pass the monster meat, M'lady" so far.

Demon slayer has made $680mil without China. insane!

I took my daughter and her friends to it yesterday and only Crowfoot cineplex had it in the afternoon.

It was the crappy dubbed version and it was still more than half full.

I've been watching this show on Tubi. It's an older cartoon, I think late 80s? It's called "The Transformers"


Pretty cool, you should check it out. Has the entire series.

Transformers could be a really good anime, some of the comics had a much more mature scifi feel.
