No David added more to the story in some bits. Like they show who killed Sorbet by showing a clear silhouette when in the manga it was never shown who it was or changing Fugo's backstory. Or inconsistencies like the Nero vs Boss fight when the boss was withing inches of Nero (within range) when he was flapping around in the first part of the fight. In the manga whoever he was clearly 4 feet away.

Yeah I noticed all of that. I remember part 4 and 3 had something similar but can’t recall right now

That's good though. It means they read the source material and give a fuck. Like when Dio appears in Part 3 and has Pet Shop on his shoulder. It's all cool extras.

I felt Episode 21 of The Rising of the Shield Hero might have been the best of them all. Naofumi‘s Triumphant Return FTW!

Been watching mech shows most of my life. It is the main genre that I love. I was considering watching SSS gridman

It’s alright. Watch it

It's my favorite genre as well! I'm always watching one mecha show or another. Currently watching Turn A Gundam and I like it so far.
SSSS Gridman is good, not exceptional but you'll probably like it. Too bad it's too short for the variety of mecha designs it has.

Turn A is the best shit.

My main gripe with the entire series is what happens next. It starts off good but then...ugh the mangaka turns it to shit. The fact that he made a sequel just to postpone a fight and use more real life people pisses me off to no end. Oh and the jobbing from Muhammad Jr fucking Che and Bush. Like really?

Too bad it sold extremely badly for Geneon back in the day.

Watch the movie (the BR version if you can find it) once you finish all the seasons. It's really good.

The art and panelling is actually amazing and there's some cool chapters with decent build up. It's also got the "don't under estimate ningens!" trope going for it if you're into that. There's some interesting takes, some not unsurprising, on the political side of things like the various countries power struggle between each other throughout the war with the ooga boogas cockroaches.
It's a stealth Shonen (Jump) manga tho even with the permanent death, so take that as you will. I kinda stopped reading around the 150th chapter or something for reasons that elude me and it's kind of been there in the back of my head to pick it back up.
Here's something I wrote like a year ago
Actually now that I think about it I think stopped reading it because KM started being douchebags with their ads.
also I should having fucking realised the author was probably Hara's assistant at one stage.
also also I hate digging up old posts kill it kill it kill it. I was definitely skimping out but I guess at that stage I was tired of nerding out.

Can Berserk ever get an anime adaptation like this at least once ffs. It doesn't have to be movie quality, cause that is unrealistic, but at least a competent one. It constantly gets shafted by shit 3d animation etc.
Looking forward to Vinland Saga btw, heard a ton of positive things about it.

and anyone watching JoJo, David Pro did it again this week with the opening theme! Just like Part 4's 3rd opening and Part 3's 2nd opening, the unexpected bonus version is a true creative feat that plays with the fourth wall. I freaking love this kind of stuff, they take the "upgrading the opening theme" trope to a level no other anime has.

Synopsis
As the stories of those connected to Wagnaria come to a close, only one thing is certain: the workplace is about to get crazier than ever before! Whether it be incredibly awkward romances, relentless searches for lost relatives, or even uncomfortable family reunions, lover of all things cute and tiny Souta Takanashi and his motley crew have plenty on their plates. With more Napoleon complexes, androphobia, and katana-wielding than you can shake a frying pan at, Working!!! delivers a final serving of the staff's hilarious misadventures working at everybody's favorite family restaurant.
Just have some time to get through Working !!! Season 03 and special and my quick impression when I finish watching this show is how much this season ties up a lot of loose ends you see from season 01 and 02 and try to have a good closures (or try to resolved the issues) for almost every characters arch in the series which actually make the show much better over the season 01 & 02. Keep in mind the first two seasons, the show tend to go to random comedy ( little quirks, gags, personalities, etc) which is a mix result but still fun to watch (or let it on),
Another positive thing I can say about Season 03 is they tend to go into a bit more in characters development and you notice this in almost every characters have a much more better character development. You notice this a bit more in season 02 but this season they're quite a bit which help flush out all the characters arch which is also make the closure much more good to watch.
Still, a good conclusion of the series which is fun to watch and the last season is the best part of the series. Whether I will watch the the spin-off of the series (WWW.WAGNARIA!! ) is another thing to consider but I will have to say, this might be a good ending for this series and move on to other animated show in my backlogged I need to get through (going through the Patlabor TV series right now).

Buy the manga or bd if you like a series. Or a figure! Do not give money to Crunchyroll. Hulu?

I guess I will continue watching Patlabor TV show and Kids on the Slope. Need to go back to get through Phantom Memory Kurau as I am around Ep 15 and need to get through it before the end of the year.

Funimation has the better player but it varies from region to region because of international licenses.
If you watch sub tho just torrent unless it's seasonal anime. Fansubs are almost unequivocally superior in translations and even more in quality if they're BD's. Neither of them do OVA's except for maybe a few.
Hell yeah, French theaters are going to air Promare starting from the 31st of July http://www.9emeart.fr/post/news/ani...re-s-offre-une-date-de-sortie-en-france-10753
That’s two months earlier than North American theaters, but I will definitely be making an early review about this, like I did for Detective Pikachu

Currently I am watching some old series at a slow pace:
Attack no 1: this is the equivalent shojo version of Ashita no Joe. Direction is late 60s all over the place, but characters are very well dramatised and serious. Volley matches and ost are very well mixed too with lots of tension and drama
After War Gundam: same script writer as Nadesico and Captain Tylor, so this Gundam had to pick my interest. Very good pacing so far, too bad it was shortened to 39 episodes, the only one after the original to do so.
Divergence Eve: despite the boob galore this series has a solid scifi plot that barely manages to distract the viewers eyes away from the breasts. If only it had normal bossomed characters it would be more popular
Neo Ranga: underrated Mecha because it does not follow a traditional formula but focuses more on issues few Mecha let alone other genres would touch.
Shangri-la: standard Gonzo action series with interesting world building. Worth watching once.
Cream Lemon: 38 episodes (31 subbed currently), the longest hentai anime. Animation quality is very high for an 80s series, while it also features quality action scenes that would lead many hentai studios to bankruptcy. It includes many genres from romance, fantasy, scifi, comedy, drama, Yuri, incest etc
If more hentai had such a good quality in animation and direction, I'd watch more
Dougram: predecessor to Votoms. 75 episodes full of political intrigue and warfare. I think this will be one of the most memorable series, despite the supposedly large episode number. Epic from the start
Currently I am reading also GTO The Early Years. Had read few volumes right after reading the epic GTO but had stopped at volume 5.now that its complete I'll watch the prequel that is as good and funny as the original
