It's basically like a detective show
This piques my interest. We love a good detective show

So when a show goes unlicensed is there any way to watch it with subs?

Does it mean it's never going to be available in English?
Also, what are the best Netflix anime?

I just got Netflix and have never watched anime on it (Team Hulu).

A lady at work recommended High Rise Empire I think? And Cyberpunk

You have to sail the seas for those shows. Fansubber groups still exist, some good, some bad, lots of weird drama between a number of them. It may take a few weeks or days but usually someone half decent fansubs them. There's a couple groups for example that are working on Girls Band Cry. They've been pretty good so far.

High rise Invasion? I read the manga and loved it (very weird series though). The anime has a very fast pace but I would recommend it. Cyberpunk is also good but a 10/10 on the brutality scale

Sometimes these shows are licensed in other regions that have English as a second language (like Southeast Asia) and you can watch them on those sources with a VPN, though in those cases the English subtitles might not be very good or might even be machine-translated. Aside from that, the best option is hoping someone fansubs the show so you can pirate it and watch it subbed that way, but fansub quality can vary greatly too. Sometimes you might get really good ones, sometimes you might get decent ones, sometimes you might get machine translations because no one decent at the job cares about the show.

Also, what are the best Netflix anime?

In terms of Netflix exclusives (as in, not also available on Crunchyroll, HiDive, or Hulu) I would personally recommend:

* Aggretsuko
* Carole & Tuesday
* Delicious In Dungeon (currently airing)
* JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Crunchyroll has parts 1-5 subbed, but only Netflix has part 6 or any part of the English dub)
* Little Witch Academia
* Lost Song
* My Happy Marriage
* Pokemon Horizons (currently airing, I believe the next batch of episodes drops in May)

All of these have English dubs, and aside from Lost Song (which I would recommend watching subbed) and Pokemon Horizons (which Netflix doesn't have subbed and the dub is the only option) you can't go wrong watching these in either language. I've also heard incredible things about Violet Evergarden and Cyberpunk Edgerunners, but I've yet to watch Violet myself and will never watch Cyberpunk due to the gore.

Violet Evergarden is amazing if you like medieval worlds and feels. The EN dub is 10/10 too

Cyberpunk is amazing if you like cyberpunk settings, violence and feels. Once again, 10/10 dub

if you do like Maomao, then keep going because the show will pick up over time.
I ended up starting Frieren and after two episodes I'm hooked. But I'll go back to Apothecary after if you say it gets better. I do like Momo as a character. I thought she was hilarious when she got excited over all the plants as if they were drugs. Does she carry the show or do the other characters get better?

If I had a nickel for every time a really interesting original anime I was watching randomly got a popularity boost because it was endorsed by Hideo Kojima, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Maomao is the main character and carries the show hard. Jinshi is the only other character that comes close to her importance and screen time, and he also gets better over time, but it really is the Maomao show.

So for my April show I watched something that was most certainly long overdue for me especially. I watched Thigh Witch... err I mean Butt Witch... errr I mean Boo- er no wait, no horny posting here. I would never do that, thats just silly. But I did watch Izetta the Last Witch. World war and magic is a genre that has potential, even though I can only think of two shows that match that description. It was fun for the most part, though it had some dumb plot points like how two higher ups just so happened to be discussing top secret info about Izetta in the woods and the nerdy soldier just so happened to over here it and the guy he confided in about it just so happened to be the only goddamn spy in the kingdom. Or Bianca getting all emotional and worked up about killing a later spy when she had like one goddamn conversation with him.

I'm not at my computer where I took more pictures so for now I'll settle with:

Train whip. It's a whip, but its made of train. Also get rekt all those guys that were in the tanks that got tossed around like toys

Since I would never horny post, have this parting pic instead

Remember, all of the world's problems could be solved with more witches.

I promised @Caelthus that my May show would be Misfit of Demon Academy.

I assume the two you're thinking of are Izetta and Strike Witches, but couldn't Saga Of Tanya The Evil also be considered a third? IIRC, that show takes place in WW1 (rather than WW2 like the others) and Tanya also fights using a combination of magic and guns. I haven't actually watched it, so someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I'm just going by what I've heard about it and by what MAL's synopsis says about it.

I was thinking Izetta and Tanya. Didn't even think of strike witches since they are fighting aliens rather than axis powers.

I mean, the plot of Strike Witches is basically just "What if aliens interrupted WW2 and forced the allies and axis to work together and send their strongest pantsless schoolgirls to fend off the aliens?" The girls are even based on and named after famous WW2 ace pilots.

Every episode should be a Reimi episode. These two eps are probably the best thing I've seen so far this season.

Took on too much this season while trying to catch up on Yuru Camp, just a bit late to some shows. Still haven't gotten around to Rinkai, Tonbo, and Blue Archive. Only just started Yuru Camp S3 too

I see. I had picked out 17 shows this season, which is a lot for me, but I ended up not watching 8 of them (4 went unlicensed, 1 dropped for gore concerns, and 3 dropped because they just sucked) and sticking with 9. Rinkai and Blue Archive are among the ones that I didn't bother with because they went unlicensed, so you'll have to use "other means" to find those if you want to watch them. Tonbo did get licensed, but by Amazon of all places.

@ 13:34 is my guilty pleasure for this season. Worth watching if all you're after is a chill and cute romcom about a married couple, with a wife who's so territorial that she adamantly refuses to allow any harem shenanigans.

I wouldn't really say they are similar. I mean they both have 4 girls but... that's it? It's about 4 girls that don't belong trying to find a place they belong in Shibuya. Though there hasn't been much Shibuya life apart from the first episode. I love the show but it's best to watch without assuming it's like another show ahead of time.

I never understand why people always need to compare two completely different shows as better or worse than each other when they only share a few similarities.

I've never watched A Place Further Than The Universe and I'm not watching Girls Band Cry, so I can't comment on those comparisons, but I'm really enjoying Jellyfish Can't Swim In The Night so far. The main characters and their dynamics together are fun, the visuals are great, and the writing and drama has been pretty good too. It's still really early though, so while it has the potential to be really good, it has just as much potential to fall off in the second half like many other original anime have in the past.

I just find it weird when people make their judgement on a show based on the existence of another show. Unless it's a sequel or an extremely obvious ripoff.

Gotcha. That wasn't my intention and I apologise if that's how it appeared to be

Also, I decided to go with the dub for Spice and Wolf. There's just something about Holo's dub voice that really cements her status as wise, imo

Even if her pronunciation of Holo irks me >_>

Same. I sampled both versions, and I definitely like Holo's more mature English voice more. I never watched the original anime, but I've heard people say good things about the dub of the original, and Crunchyroll managed to get the same VA's (but with 15 years more experience now) to reprise as the leads.
