Caught up on Fruits Basket.

They've done a good job of making Akito relatable despite being a horrifying person.

Is Vivy a badly spelled spin-off of FF9?

I would love to know more about Vivi damnit

No, but I'd totally watch an anime about FFIX's Vivi!

Vivy is about an AI named Diva who has the singular mission of singing and making people happy that way. One day another AI arrives from 100 years in the future, telling her of the upcoming war between humans and AI and recruiting her help to douse the sparks that causes it.

@Calwings Watched the latest episode of Back Arrow. Holy shit what a ride so far. Amazing latest two episodes. RIP Doc though. I liked him a lot and I was so hyped to see his Briheight and man it was really cool. I love speed so it's really cool it has a superspeed ability with a time slow perception. But man, RIP. He was a good guy.

@Leanaunfurled I'm really liking 86 so far. That battle in the second episode was amazing. Also that Sawano vocal track that played in the battle was so great. When it started and you hear the synth I was getting so fucking hyped. Looking forward to that theme in the OST.

I'm still hesitant to watch 86 because (after hearing some things from people who read the LN's) I'm afraid it'll be too gory for me. Crunchyroll are going to dub it later, so maybe when the dub comes out, I'll ask you guys watching the subbed version if there's been any moments that might set off my aversion to gore. If there haven't been any (or if there's only been a couple and you guys can warn me of them) then I'll watch it.

It's only been two episodes. I'd rather not start the series then have to drop it after starting to really like it because later on it turns out to be too gory for me. That already happened once this season with Vivy, but that's an original anime with no source material to gauge based on, so I took that risk.

86 has source material, I asked about it, and the people who read the LN told me it has some gore later that might be too much for me. Maybe the anime will tone it down or won't show it. Maybe the LN readers were exaggerating a bit. Maybe the gore does happen but not until later in the series. I don't know, and until several episodes have aired so people who are watching the show can confirm it for me, I'm not taking the risk on this one.

The only answer I can give you is "when I get to it".

For reference, that's the same answer I give Caelthus when he asks me when I'm going to watch Nyaruko-san, and he's been bitching at me to watch that show for at least four years now. I have a lot of shows on my plan-to-watch list (whether they were recommended by others or ones I got interested in myself) and I have to balance my anime-watching time with a lot of other stuff I need/like to do.

I finished the first season of Kaguya-Sama earlier today. I'm so glad I decided to give this show another chance with the dub, because I had a blast watching it. 9/10, and Hayasaka is best girl. I'm going to start the second season soon, but I'm also starting a different series today.

https://myanimelist.net/anime/5040/One_Outs

I've had One Outs on my plan-to-watch for a long time, and considering that baseball season just started and I'm in a baseball mood, it's as good a time as any to finally knock this series off my list. Anyone else here seen this show before?

I have, One Outs is great. If you're into baseball (I kind of am now and definitely wasn't back when I watched it) then you'll probably appreciate it even more. Either that or call out more ridiculous moments from a baseball fan's perspective if/when they happen.

I watched the first three episodes of One Outs, and I'm hooked already. I love how Toua is so manipulative and slimy while still never actually doing anything dishonorable or against the rules. The slow ball to get Kojima out and the buildup to it was absolutely brilliant.

I dropped Joran today. The show is just kinda "meh" so far, plus it looks like the gore is going to become more noticeable instead of being just blood splatters like it was through the first three episodes. A shame that a really good OP/ED by Raise A Suilen is going to waste on this mediocre show.

On a side note, I've officially switched from using MyAnimeList to track my anime watching to using Anilist instead. It has a lot more useful features, like more detailed stats/filters, a 100-point scoring scale, and the option to default to using the English titles of series instead of the Japanese ones.

You can import your list from MAL to AniList, but I don't know if exports from other sites work.

Going through my list and re-scoring every single entry to adjust them to the 100-point scale was an interesting experience to say the least. It's crazy just how many shows I gave an 8/10 on MAL but were actually more like a 76 (that rounded up) or 84 (that rounded down) than a true 80.

I dropped Jouran, too. I like the music and the art style but plot-wise, it was kind of...so-so. Especially in terms of plot twist whiplash. I'll peek on it at the end of the season to see if people say it gets better, but otherwise I'll sit out.

Also dropped Tokyo Revengers, solely from the art style rubbing me the wrong way. TIL I can be a shallow ho.

Yeah I didn't really like the art of Revengers either but the first episode was interesting enough. I'll probably watch the second tonight.

The only anime movies I've seen in theaters recently were Your Name and Yu-Gi-Oh Dark Side Of Dimensions. I was lucky enough that the theater was only like half-full for both of those, and aside from one dude who showed up to the DSOD showing dressed as Yugi being told to take off his wig (it was tall and blocking the view for people right behind him) and immediately complying, there were no problems whatsoever.

I don't plan on ever doing it again though. I'd rather just wait the extra time for the digital release.

Same. I've been following it since the very beginning. It definitely has its highs and lows. It's a slow burner. A reaaaaallll slow burner, but it's finally started cooking. And I honestly don't know how I feel or what I want out of it anymore lol.

@SDBZ

Back Arrow is getting a dub, and Shannon McCormick of Rooster Teeth (the voice of Agent Washington in Red Vs. Blue and Professor Ozpin in RWBY) is voicing Arrow in what is essentially his very first major anime role ever. That's definitely a very interesting choice and might make the show worth a dubbed re-watch later on.
