smgdh nobody finished with KIZUNA AI DESU

Q Hayashida had a new manga coming.

Nothing would please me more than a Dorohedoro anime.

"New Fruit Baskets" not something Is expect to see.
---

Starting to wonder if they made an OP for Slime's 2nd cour, but then accidentally ran it for the first and said fuck it too late now.

She is now also a virtual voice actress

Prolly my least fav Slime episode so far, tho it did have a couple good moments.
---

About to leave for the Sound Euphonium movie. Hyyyyyyype.
---

Back from Liz and the Blue Bird. Just excellent, especially considering it was about the characters I was least interested in from the series. A strong reminder that Sound Euphonium is KyoAni's best show.

Gyaru girl is best. Supplying boiled eggs in these trying times.
---

slime was very good
---

Ouch, that Part 3 vote...
---

stardust crusaders was garbage
---

Stardust Crusaders was good you guys are just being a bunch of babies

That being said I voted for Diamond is Unbreakable
---

I'm going to assume nobody else saw Liz.

Seems to be a one showing one day thing.
---

I've watched a few more of HxH, up to episode 128 now

Gon having such a long continued don't-give-a-FUCK attitude is by far my favorite thing that's happened with him for the entire series so far.
---

I'm an anime-only, so I don't think telling people how I voted will get me respect. But for the record, it still wasn't Part 3.
---

Stardust isn't that bad.

The correct answer is Steel Ball Run though.

I'd have watched it if I'd seen Hibike Euphonium.

I'm actually a lot more interested in this movie than in the series itself tbh.

Voting 4 is respectable, anime-only or otherwise.

Voting 2 is also respectable, but I wouldn't ever consider it myself

*votes JoJolion*

Hmmmm I wouldn't call the series CRUCIAL to watch the film, but you lose a lot without that Nozomi and Mizore backstory.

what a time to be alive where you can watch chinese cartoon movies at your local movie theater
---

More like 3 theaters away. Thank God it's not a bad drive at least. New theater, hopefully they continue getting these.
---

On a Eupho high, gonna re-watch.

Preparing with the vid that got me to watch in the first place.

Also fuck how am I just now realizing that the main character of Akanesasu Shoujo is Tomoyo Kurosawa (Phos, Kumiko)? She's so damn good.

For the first time in the Eureka Seven franchise, the film is set in Tokyo. The film centers on Anemone, a girl who lost her father in a battle in Tokyo seven years prior to the film's story, leaving her with only her stuffed toy Gulliver, and the AI concierge Dominikids for emotional support. Now she is a key part of a strategy by the experimental unit "Acid" to combat the seventh Eureka, "Eureka Seven," an enemy of humanity that has killed 2.6 billion people. Driven to the brink, all of humanity entrusts its hope to Anemone as she dives deep into the interior of Eureka Seven.

I think that's based on the Pockets of Rainbow movie?

I forgot everything about that movie...
---

Stardust Crusaders has been the best so far so I voted for it.

I'll be honest I'm hype as all fuck for this movie based purely on all the outfits she's had in the promo art.

Also it sounds like a fun trainwreck rather than the nightmare trainwreck that was HiEvo 1.

HxH episode 130

Welp, there goes my hoping for Kite. Great moment for Gon, but maaaaaaaaaaaaaan I wanted to see Kite's full potential with those slot things. We only got to see like MAYBE 3 of them?

I have been

HxH episode 134

I've gotta say, round of applause for Welfin. He somehow managed to bullshit his way to this point and keep himself completely relevant, good for him. I quite enjoyed him.

Oh God.

Please someone in the know tell me I don't gotta watch Index.

Aaaaaaaand HxH episode 136 done, aka Chimera Ant arc complete

I'm torn in some ways. For the longest time I thought this arc was going too long, and I still feel that in somewhat vague ways I can't define, but it definitely needed that time for a bunch of the payoffs. Meruem and Komugi, Welfin and some of the other side Ants that I didn't think would get much or survive to the end, Gon's struggle with Kite....definitely made the arc special. I'm hesitantly putting it on favorite arc for HxH now I guess? It's still a bit of a toss up between it and Yorknew, but this had some really really great highs. Pouf did WAAAAAY more than I thought he would, ended up being the most impactful Royal Guard member. Palm was a beast in her own right.

And boy, magic not helping you in your fight against the ultimate being? Just use a fuckin man-made atomic bomb! I kind of wish they went a bit more into Netero actually getting that done, like they had the flash for a few seconds with the doctor looking at him but I kind of wish it went into a discussion afterward of him dealing with the pros and cons of it.

I think that's about all I wanna comment on, there might be more but it's not coming to my head now. I'll see what this final arc has in store, only 12 episodes so we'll see. Might take another break now, at least for today.
---

I prefer the first half of the arc to the second half for its incredible horror feel, but the best parts of the second half are incredible. Netero vs. Meruem was so good.
---

That's fair, and I feel that. But I ended up REALLY enjoying the payoffs in the second half, much more than I thought I would.
---

And yes Meruem and Komugi did make me tear up

I mean I think if you liked Railgun you would also like Index. I don't think one is significantly better than the other overall. Though I would say Index is more consistent while Railgun has higher highs and lower lows.

Unfortunately I can't actually answer your question, having not read the Railgun manga. Even looking up what arcs it likely covers I'm not 100% sure, as it appears to happen concurrently with some important stuff from the Index side.

For the Accelerator anime, my guess would be that you'd almost definitely have to watch at least one particular arc of the Index anime to understand what was going on, assuming they don't also just put it at the beginning of the Accelerator anime despite the manga evidently starting afterwards.
