[@brochurt5503]

Your reviews got me into anime. I watch a few then stopped but you awesome reviews showed me so many great shows. Thank you

[@3up3rn0va]

Broc Hurt Same! I'm really selective with anime. But Arkada has helped me get into niche anime I've never thought I would be into

[@kaibully5295]

AdvancedSoda stop being selective then and learn to enjoy trash too

[@MGengarDude]

*UNITED STATES OF FLIPPING SMASHHHHHH*

[@yacine9809]

TheBmans bunker mha greatness

[@epicgam2317]

😢😢😢.

[@TheLonelyLuneon]

my first thought when I heard that line: ALL MIGHT CONFIRMED FOR SMASH

[@MEDB1]

Just imagine if all might was in super smash bros ultimate o_O

[@arahaitham123]

Do you know what sounds better than USA? UNITED STATES OF SMASHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

[@Vrathas]

The main reason I like Food Warsis this, it is actually accurate: the dishes they create can be done in real life, and the things they talk about are actually true in the cullinary word. As a person who loves to cook and eat I really enjoyed every single episode of it so far. It also has some pretty good humor to it (but of course that is subjective). If you want to find an interesting recipe to try and make at home or impress your friends with, watch a few episodes of it, you will definetly find something that gets you noggin' joggin' as well as your tummy go yummy,

[@821lancevance]

Yeah foodwars is so realistic that you need to have double E bouncing titties in order to make something cook.

[@lain042]

@@821lancevance aren't they essential??

[@TheJuanTrueKaiser]

Legend of the galactic heroes? No? Kinda surprised it wasn’t mentioned.

[@madengineerkyouma]

I'm more surprised he didn't mention Lupin III Part 5. Best soundtrack of the season, even better than Megalo Box.

[@GlassReflection]

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is less of a show that anyone can recommend, and more of one that people need to find on their own. The pilgrimage to watch it must be started of one's own volition.....at least until I can get a solid video written up for it, but considering the franchises length that'll take awhile XD

[@megankillerby3707]

Hmm, that's a fair approach to the antiquated 110-ep old series (we fans have been constantly telling people to watch it for years and it has such a high MAL rating, but we've had relatively little success tbh), but the new one is (currently) just 12 episodes long and has a much more modern and easy to approach style. Right now it's probably the best way to get people into the series. It's your call what you put in your video ofcourse, but I think it atleast deserved a mention on a best of list like this.

[@TheJuanTrueKaiser]

Glass Reflection True if you are talking about the OVA. But Die Neu These is only 12 episodes. But what ever floats your boat lad. Didn’t expect a reply either xD.

[@ulfricstormcloak7142]

Megan Killerby it's 12 episodes + 3 movies (or 2) right? I love it anyway, and I'm considering watching the OVAs

[@Wizardi1111]

Thumbs up all the Gary's!

[@ApexierGS]

Wizardi1111 I will that beat that Gary Oak someday!

[@Questionable_Content]

Yeah!

[@bookoopa64]

gary oak? do you mean eggbutt

[@Izolus]

Gary? Gaaaaaaary...

[@mrfried]

You must save my family

[@Ω3103ζ]

I like how the music changes based on what anime you are talking about. Especially how it transitions and what music you are using for each anime is just beautiful.

[@typhoonzebra]

Best season of anime? Is it 2011 already?

[@Deadpool116]

TyphoonZebra loooool no where near 2011.

[@grapeshott]

Deadpool116 why not? There are also more number of good anime now a days. Before 2017-2018 best years were 2006-2007, and 2010-2011

[@captainkondoriano7869]

Fall 2014 is also a very strong season in comparison to this Spring

[@grapeshott]

Captain Kon'Doriano I remember 2014 only for Shirobako

[@captainkondoriano7869]

Esesem ssm What about Parasyte? Rage of Bahamut: Genesis? Garo: The Animation? Yona of the Dawn? Your Lie in April? Magic Kaito 1412? Mushishi Zoku Shou 2? Ronia the Robber's Daughter?

[@nx9919]

Hinamatsuri sure is a blast

[@SilverShion]

Anzu is a treasure from heaven

[@TJ-hn2hv]

[@sebbensebbenandsebben691]

[@arahaitham123]

Expecting season 2 and I mean it. I want to know how Hina look after 2 years.

[@arahaitham123]

Y'know the eps where nitta and anzu were both alone..... If I'm Nitta, I think I'll be lolicon and ready to go to jail as long I can Marry Anzu after released.

[@R0mP3clanunited]

Steins Gate Zero is a Masterpiece

[@luffyskywalker7549]

If anything it's more of a good year of anime than just a good spring season. Spring -Megalo box, Hinamatsuri, steins gate 0, Tokyo ghoul: re. etc..winter-violet evergarden,darling in the franxx,saiki k,cardcapto sakura, overlord 2 etc.. mines well just appreciate the year

I see that you are truly a man of culture.

[@animetherapy2796]

Ahhh Gigguk

[@AvantsPianoScores]

KZbin has been bugging me to watch this video of yours for DAYS. I finally watched it because it wouldn’t stop appearing on my feed. So glad for the HisoMaso mention.

[@sleepstr]

you forgott to mention Seven deadly sins season 2

[@shayusu8317]

Technically counted as last season

[@walkingcontradictiongarype4290]

Shay Usu OVA or an actual second season?

[@piyushharjani5220]

yeah 🤔

[@pragyan394]

It's as bad as the first one.

[@akiamendoza8859]

sleepstr s2 is a little disappointing for me, a lot things are just crammed in one episode

[@bob.4721]

You can see all the episodes of anime he watched from the bags under his eyes.... that's dedication at its finest. Fine job good sir. Fine job.

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

When you make an 18min video of season recommendations and you still miss good shows like Aggretsuko, LOTGH remake, and Saiki Kusuo. I also think 3D Kanojo deserves a mention.This season needs a nerf.

[@RogueBipolarDemon]

LOTGH and 3D Kanojo are definitely some of my faves from this season

[@JoshLeitzel]

Don’t forget about Lupin Part 5. That’s a big omission that pretty much EVERY anime youtuber has been making. It’s downright tragic.

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

Josh Leitzel I mean it is the fifth part of a series, so that isn't too surprising.

[@JoshLeitzel]

Protagonist Yes, but that means very little since each series is standalone. Lupin tends to be a very episodic and self-contained series. That’s what makes it so much easier to get into than most long running series. All you really need is a single episode to get familiarized with the general premise and characters. Part 5 has its own standalone narrative so anitubers really have no excuse. It’d be like avoiding watching the new gegege just because it’s like the 5th entry into that classic series. Only difference is they don’t label it as a new part, which admittedly probably makes some people hesistsnt and think they actually need to watch every previous series when they don’t. I started with Part 4 for Pete’s sake.

[@ProtagonistOfficial]

Josh Leitzel I think you just answered your own question(or I served as an example of what the situation might be for many people). When I hear part 5, I assume I need to watch parts 1-4.

[@deavi782]

What's about saiki kusuo no Ψ-nan 2!! Best comedy anime this season!

[@prismaone3164]

I know i love this anime so much i hope it gets a third season.

[@Ivaylodr5]

Sooooo..... You still haven't watched Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan/The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. ????? It's amazing comedy, at least check out the first 3 episodes of season 1 (because in season 1 each episode was like 5-10min)

[@Exel3nce]

Ivaylo5 Nobody wants good comedy apperantly

[@megankillerby3707]

Saiki is easily one of the most underwatched anime of the last couple years versus it's quality imo. It was condemned by being on Funi, being 4 min shorts initially, and now there's no legal stream of season 2, I so wish more people had the chance to watch it.

[@jayterra2585]

Saiki K is up there with KonoSuba as being one of my favorite comedies.

[@calebwee328]

I read the manga sooooo didn't watch the anime

[@sushi_cat__]

Saiki is legit one of my top 5 favorite anime

[@NappaBallZKai]

I concur with Steins;Gate 0. It took me several years to finally get around to watching the original Steins;Gate, and it was one of the best experiences I've ever had. The first few episodes make it very hard to get into, but once you get passed that barrier, you will be in for a ride. And Steins;Gate 0 is one of the best sequels I have ever seen from an anime, it absolutely fantastic!

[@7th-archangel]

The best part of the video is when that Gate of Steiner starts to play

[@phkatiica6566]

7th Archangel I know right!!!

[@claudiaivy104]

The fact Made in Abyss is your pick for anime of the year makes me so fucking happy. It deserves it so much.

[@vitsavicky]

"Your secret is safe with my indifference." Someone watching Critical Role? :)

[@windwalkermonschke5901]

"Life needs things to live" Percy is great lol

[@shinkadoo75]

I’d love to see a video of shows that everyone should watch from Arkada’s perspective. The mention of Kamina levels of fighting spirit makes me think of shows everyone at least needs to have heard of.

[@AlternativeIce]

Actually SAO Alternative is based on a light novel series written by Keiichi Sigsawa(writer of Kino's Journey). Yousuke Kuroda is just the writer who's adapting it to anime.

[@Mernom]

Oh? no wonder it was better than expected, if someone who wrote Kino is on board. I WAS kind dissapointed with the 2nd half though, I was hoping for a story focues on the actual MMO gameplay like the first half.

[@erynncollier8672]

'except you, GARY. You know who you are.' "WE MUST SAVE MY FAMILY!"

[@BlueCrimson10]

Saiki Kusuo should have been on the Hangups list

[@iwannabeanarwhal]

Oh man, when Hisone to Masotan comes out on Netflix you're gonna be in for a treat.

[@salty898]

This season was so much I had to watch everything. But I was watching too much and dropped everything. Now I only watch one (two at the most) at a time.

[@Exel3nce]

SaltyStuff Why would you do that ?

[@micahltaylor739]

BeThomsen probably dont have time or burnt out

[@Exel3nce]

Then Why start so many shows then? Pick the good ones and have fun, simple.

[@kiryuukazuma5986]

SaltyStuff dude same it's so hard to keep up

[@meeranhaq9479]

I love anime but even then I don;t get how people watch more than 1 show at a time lol. Main reason I don't watch newly aired anime is, if it's good, waiting a week for 20 min episodes are annoying.

[@timeshark8727]

From this day forth 2018 shall be known as *_THE YEAR OF ANIME_*

[@timeshark8727]

I'm gonna say this, then fall and winter is gonna suck... just watch.

[@just4real72]

Anzumatsuri > Hinamatsuri

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

Anzu best daughter

[@twistedofficial]

I humbly disagree.

[@hayazi96able]

Hitomi is GOD

[@WilliamHungVEVO]

AXZ 96 TRUTH

[@Rg-fp2vg]

AXZ 96 Hitomimatzuri

[@humanman]

Uhh I'm overwhelmed with just choosing between these.

[@Killerqueen2000]

Hope you review Ashita no joe man. That might get more people into the series. its such a masterpiece

[@WickedAnimeTroll]

considering how much Megalo Box is hyped and how people praise it/calling it a masterpiece for certain elements like the relationship between "JD and Yuri" (which is just a far weaker version of Joe vs Rikishi) , they will lose their mind of they watch AnJ

[@Killerqueen2000]

I'm not sure about that for modern anime fans. I just hope for the best. episode 11 of megalo box was wow.

[@kionashi]

I think the main issue with Ashita no Joe is that it's ending has been popular knowledge for too long so everybody know how it ends...and yeah..I don't feel like rooting for a character I know will have THAT end

[@forbidsin2919]

I bet its the best thing ever. Too bad i wont watch it cause it looks too old for me no matter how good it is

[@Killerqueen2000]

Shouyou Hinata exactly. A lot of people won't watch it even if it is a masterpiece. Best sports series ever along with ashita no joe.

[@578t7645uyb5]

Thanks for this list. You've recommended a lot of shows that seem right up my alley, keep up the good work! :)

[@JoJoTalksTooMuch]

This season needs to go down in the history books!!

[@dada1864]

SAO Alternative was originally written by Keiichi Sigsawa, the author of Kino no Tabi.

[@SmashGuy]

Fall 2015 was amazing. Noragami Aragoto One Punch Man K: Return of the kings Rakudai Kishi no Cavalry Subete Ga F Ni Naru Sakurako-San Haikyuu!! S2 Owari No Seraph Owarimonogatari Osomatsu- San Gakusen Toshi Asterisk Yuru Yuri

[@manuelsputnik]

Finally, a man of culture

[@phoenix-hb6jx]

Fianly someone elso who likes asterisk and doesnt constantly shit on it :)

[@Joenah5]

For me, anime of the year (if I am to pick one show from each season) is between Violet Evergarden and Megalo Box. Let's see what next season has to offer.

[@mattlucas169]

After megalo box I don’t think there would be another popular loves sports animes this year

[@LightSchiffer]

at least, that does not mean never again :)

[@AnimarchyHistory]

Steins Gate... I had it on the backburner forever... and then watched your rants about it and decided one week wrapped up with the flu. Fuck it... And proceeded to binge the entirety of the show and the movie in 3 days. Stopping for the bathroom and sleep. I even ate while watching it. I didn't move. Its currently in a knife fight with Girls Und Panzer for my favourite series of all time.

[@SaltAndVi]

Megalo box is extremely overrated. I just don't the get why people are so into it. The story is just complete trash. There is nothing compelling about it. Almost each episode was a let down in it's own way. The fights barely had any depth to them. There was no sort of progress being made in his skills. He takes a bunch of punches and then one hit to his opponent and he wins. From the beginning he talks about "real megalo boxing" and somehow they carry this plot point to the end fight. It's just regular boxing by the end, nothing 'megalo' about it. Not to mention the O LY reason he won was because Yuri didn't have enough energy to keep fighting after the surgery. The guy couldn't even sit down from round fucking 1! Stop praising that anime as if it's something new and ground breaking. The concept was good but the story was trash. He is able to keep taking punches till the other person gets tired. That's his whole fucking strategy. The best part of this anime was the guy who went to war and was betrayed by his coach. The rest was absolutely trash.

[@fiery7164]

I agree. It's complete garbage.

[@hijesus367]

John Doe The anime is not trash, it is decent. But I have to agree, it is overrated. I completely agree about the fight strategy. It was really predictable and kinda boring. But still it was decent. Not complete trash

[@MideanTsukasa]

Gary: We must save my family!

[@dickgori2623]

Get out of the door way!!

[@sanketmhamal7257]

Choak on my vengeance!!! HOW DOES IT TaStE!!!

[@itsjustme6334]

I've been calling shows like Comic Girls and Shirobako "slice of industry". I think it makes a good name for a slice of life spinoff genre.

[@MudanTV]

I feel like this could even be one of the best years for anime hands down. With the magnificent winter season and now this awesome spring season, and looking what's coming up. It's just insane

[@gabrielcaro]

I watch things you hate just to piss you off Glassreflection, your welcome.

[@TomsonPRD]

WHO'S GARY, I WANNA MEET HIM

[@swer9112]

hello :D

[@bookworm13x]

You can't, he's too busy watching literally everything.

[@gramps2225]

just how....pppffpfp SAIKI DAMNI IT!!! how can everybody miss a fucking masterpiece!

[@lexthegracefulrival4066]

I don't see why you wouldn't watch it illegally if you can't do it legally, even pirate site hating people like Mother's Basement justify watching anime illegally if there's no legal alternative (referring to old anime and countries were the legal methods are inadequate, but I think this should also apply). Since the company doesn't care about it's non-Japanease audience enought to make the series available to us then why should we care about the company?

[@thewheelman84]

Dragon Pilot has been picked up by Netflix. It has it's own listing so it will be coming there. And the anime is definitely worth a watch. I will be watching it again when it comes out legally.

[@hujimix]

What is this Hinamatsuri show I've been hearing about? Is it as good as the original *Hitomimatsuri* ? Also, man, it sucks the lack of even a wave or mention to one of the longest most prestigious shows that has been running for decades being left out in the cold. *Lupin the 3rd part V* is just a phenomenal iteration in the Lupin series with great animation, beautiful cinematography and the classic Lupin humor.

[@JoshLeitzel]

THANK YOU! It’s an excellent entry into the series and practically NO ONE is talking about it. I’ve seen zero anime youtubers even bear a passing mention to it. The western fandom always sleeps on Lupin and I’ll never know why. It’s not like you need to have much prior exposure to the series, or even any at all. If people really want a crash course all they have to do is watch the excellent Miyazaki directed film Castle of Cagliostro.

[@rumfordc]

i came into Hinamatsuri blind with no knowledge of the source material and personally i think its one of the funniest shows ive ever seen.

[@TravenTalks]

Man, it's definitely felt that way. There's been so much good stuff coming out lately, it's hard to keep up with. Even the stuff I didn't particularly like did a great job with what they were doing, even if it wasn't for me.

[@veiregor]

To be fair TG:Re is at least decent unlike the previous seasons

[@arsalanhashmi2911]

Hell nah, apart from the soundtracks of all three seasons, there's nothing good to say about any of the tokyo ghouls

[@brianhuss9184]

Yes, Golden Kamuy, Hinamatsuri and Dragon Pilot are excellent, but last season beats this one as a candidate for Best Season of 2018 for me. Magus Bride, A Place Further than the Universe and Violet Evergarden have not been topped by anything this season (not yet, but there's only 2 weeks left!). :)

[@fibbthehuman]

I was introduced to the little niche Manga industry genre through Bakuman made by the creator duo of Deathnote, and it blew my mind at how interesting a subject like that is. I will also bolster this genre proudly as my favorite

[@davidwalker4179]

some great shows you missed: Lupin III Part 5 Cutey Honey Universe: Aggretsuko Katana Maidens second half Yamato 2202 All of them are great and should have been mentioned

[@mta1567]

UNITED STATES OF SMASH!!!

[@megankillerby3707]

Good video! Spring has been so packed, I’m almost glad Summer is not as exciting since I need time to catch up on other stuff. Though you didn’t mention my personal top 2 of the season, Lupin 5 and the new LotGH. You can watch Lupin without prior knowledge and LotGH is a remake so I heartily recommend them to any new viewer. Some other under the radar shows from this season I really like are GeGeGe no Kitarou (2018), Yotsuiro Biyori and (Netflix so currently fansubs only) Hisone and Masotan and Piano no Mori.

[@jinchuriki7022]

Megalo box episode 11 was the best episode, so intense.

[@danielsjohnson]

Christian Harris You forgot to type the episode number.

[@jinchuriki7022]

danielsjohnson my apologies , its 11

[@el_felkx8822]

Christian Harris I legit cried, idk why but that shit was tense

[@t-botastic]

THAT EPISODE

[@Kage-jk4pj]

I love megalo box but cause its only like 13 or 12 ep series its moving ridiculously fast and its pacing is just making the fights kinda dull cause there all over in less then an episode and cause of this pacing some rounds are over in mere seconds

[@apatheticdeity6030]

GR: "Except for you GARY... you know who you are". Me: *smiles*

[@JoshLeitzel]

Of course, yet another seasonal round-up video from an anime youtuber that doesn’t include Lupin Part 5. 😔 Y’all are missing out on one of the best shows airing this season. Will never understand why western fans sleep on this series all the time, it’s downright criminal.

[@MayoKaraage]

Josh Leitzel probably because it’s the fifth season and if people haven’t grown up with Lupin they aren’t gonna be picking it up

[@JoshLeitzel]

Dio Brando I’ve already explained this in another thread but basically Lupin is like the easiest long-running series to get into. All of the series are standalone. It’s similar to the new Gegege series. While Lupin doesn’t really “reboot” itself with each series, there’s some winks and nods to fans who’ve seen previous shows and movies, the franchise in general is mostly episodic or at least the serialized stories are confined to individual series. In that sense it’s very comparable to Scooby-Doo. That franchise has been going strong since the late 60’s but no one has this notion that you need to actually watch all of it. The characters’ personalities and basic set-up are so simple to understand and appealing no mater where you start, hence their enduring popularity no matter what generation. Just add a lot more James Bond vibes for Lupin. I didn’t grow up with the series. Its over twice as old as me, lol. I literally only first watched it last year, and that was with part 4. Then I ended up watching a bunch of other stuff because I dug it so much but it’s totally up to people if they want to dig deeper than the newer stuff.

[@JoshLeitzel]

It’s not really the “fifth season” so much as it’s just the fifth main iteration of the series/characters whathaveyou. It’s a real shame that so many people seem to be under that impression though. Seriously, the idea of a series actually following a serialized narrative for over 50 years is totally bonkers! Lupin’s been around so long precisely because it doesn’t bother with that. Before the Fujiko Mine series in 2012 there really wasn’t any serialized elements in the tv shows, outside of a few two-parters here and there.

[@JoshLeitzel]

That’s why these anime youtubers should be actually covering the series and reassuring people that you can jump in at any point, including the new Part 5. Would help get rid of those misconceptions.

[@forbidsin2919]

Josh Leitzel lupin is shit, stop this nonsense

[@3Nai3]

Let's hope it gets even better

[@Karma-pq9fi]

sao is still bland for me but mha is godlike

[@ragdoll_x_music]

But what about Legend of the Galactic Heros: The New Thesis!!!! ;A; ;A; ;A; ;A; Not that is has been super duper stellar so far, (let's be honest, most of the 'strategy' so far has been the protagonists not doing dumb shit and the antagonists doing dumb shit) but considering we're getting a new adaptation to what is considered by many one of the best anime of all time I'm pretty stoked about it.

[@gramps2225]

you need to do a video about SAIKI please!! the show is so underrated

[@thaddsimpsona8673]

abdou ketfi hahaha holy shit yes i can't believe i even like it

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I've still got a lot to catch up with this season. Probably about four.

[@glazedgooch4546]

Oh trust me if u see this food wars is definitely worth watching! For me it’s the best of this season.

[@ryanw531]

Actually Summer doesn't look too bad I can already see some guarantee heavy hitters (assuming they didn't fuck up by changing the art too much or the pacing). Overlord III - no explanation needed. FLCL Alternative - Same as above. Grand Blue - The guy who wrote Baka to Test wrote the scrip for the manga, rare manga that can make me laugh out loud in public. Hanebado! - Solid no super power badminton manga by the guy who did Pajama na Kanojo (I really loved Pajama na Kanojo but it got over shadowed by Nisekoi which released at the same time, sadly was eventually cut after 3 vol). Satsuriku no Tenshi - Why it is a bad idea to be in parking lots at night, cuz each floor is guarded by a psycho but if you reach the end you might find a amnesiac suicidal loli. Angolmois: Genkou Kassenki - Interesting piece of history that is going to be bastardize to make samurais look good. the conclusion historically is a bit anti climatic but mysterious. only reason i know this is cuz i took marine archaeology for extra credits. (seriously though you can check out the archaeological finding later it is interesting). Others High Score Girl - nostalgia gamer pandering. Tenrou: Sirius the Jaeger - I wish they would just animate Ginwolf BloodBone, but here is Van Helsing in Japan. Muhyo to Rouji no Mahoritsu Soudan Jimusou - I think I have heard recommendations for this but never got around to read it looks really dope though. Chuukan Kanriroku Tonegawa - Kaiji spin-off nuff said. Iya na Kao sare nagara Opantsu Misete Moraitai - For you Masochist motherfucker out there, and DON'T WATCH THIS WITH SOMEONE ELSE THEY WILL MOST LIKELY REFUSE ACKNOWLEDGE THEY KNOW YOU IN PUBLIC EVER AGAIN.

[@hanekawakuro2829]

Saiki k was pretty good...

[@SciTutor]

I’ve been feeling so lost navigating this season...I really appreciate this video!

[@Exel3nce]

Raymundo Pantoja Jr. This season is over in some weeks tho

[@michaelkappa8081]

This is one of those seasons that hit you with so many good shows you didn't know which ones to watch.

[@JoshLeitzel]

Also check out Lupin if you can. He didn’t mention it but imo it’s easily one of the best of the season.

[@ElijahLaufayson]

You mentioned most of what I am watching and loving. The only other ones i' d recommend would be Rokuhoudou Yotsuriyo Biyori and Kauriyo: bed and breakfast for spirits. Both are great.

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Awesome video! What do you think about Nanatsu no Taizai S2?

[@nosleep1870]

praise the sun

[@EightThreeEight]

I'm pretty sure that's not been legally released yet.

[@burning_cities]

You grabbing stuff off the shelf has made me actually pay attention what it holds.... is those copies of Shamanic Princess and I My Me Strawberry Eggs !! what else you got, move over

[@JustAlyx]

I got one last recommendation: Nanatsu No Taizai Season 2 aka The Seven Deadly Sins Season 2. I can name you 10,000 reasons why you should watch this show but I'm only going to name one. Escanor. That is all. Go watch it. Now.

[@DEAD-jm1ny]

Dalyxman escanor is the reason y I continue to live

[@dangerguy32]

"Why would I hate someone who is weaker than I am? I only feel pity for them"

[@Kriss_941]

7 deadly has been ok... It's had a few good moments where you really feel that hype, but at the same time there are some things that kinda turn me off about it... power balance for example in this show is wildly inconsistent. Also people coming back from the dead etc. with some fairly questionable or non-existent explanations. Escanor have brought the hype tho, and I've enjoyed the focus on Ban this season.

[@shayusu8317]

I don't think manga readers like the adaptation. It's much like a Tokyo ghoul situation.

As someone who read Tokyo Ghoul, I'm really enjoying the anime now and I'm not the only one... tbh I think Manga readers are probably the ones most happy about this adaptation, because it's actually quite decent. Yes the animation has been really underwhelming, but in terms of story adaptation it has done pretty good with a few blunders here and there, but for the most part not bad at all. I've seen people complain about the animation, and I understand that, but I don't think it's a reason to write the show off completely. imo watching Tokyo Ghoul for action is kinda like watching Hellsing for romance, sure it's there, but it's not at all the main focus or main draw of the show. In general I think it's the manga readers who enjoy the new season of Tokyo Ghoul, while anime only people feel really left out, because lets face it... they are being left out...

Arkada!!! Your the best!!! ThNk you for making videos!!

Sword art online is always so controversial. In my opinion people just tend to hate kirito and I don't think having kirito in SAO makes SAO bad, the story could definitely be better but the SAO now has the same things as the original SAO. The main character is over powered because "lucky girl" and she can win tournaments even though it's her first and is sort of new to PVP. People complain about kirito being overpowered even though it had a reason, being a beta tester. A bad reason maybe but better reason than being a lucky girl.

[@JPJgamer]

LLENN is just Kirito without harem but gets a pass because "moe," funny thing though it has a lower MAL score than the original SAO, so much for being supposedly better.

[@sebastiancintron29]

Sergio Perea LLEN also has a better personality. She also learned to play the game, as stated that she died multiple times to monsters while training. She adapted to the game and it makes it more relatable at least to me. Reminds me of me, when I decide to play a game I know nothing about, and learning it's ropes fairly quickly.

[@13Hyrule]

The thing is Llenn has the same beginning of being a solo player as Kirito except instead of putting all her time into speeding up her reaction time, instead her character's maxed out the movement speed stat. That's really all there is to it, we've seen in the GGO arc that people putting all their stats into one area can lead to crazy results and this is just that for a different stat. M being a talented marksman and tactician in game and irl was just what sealed the win.

[@Chronosmaster002]

The problem wasn't kirito, it was the original writer. You can have good OP characters like in Overlord, which by the way, I can't wait for it to start again.

[@sub-spyxia2338]

I won my very first PUBG mobile for the first time, thou never won after it. And i love the feeling of unpredictability and extreme luck.

[@beastialmoon2327]

I've been watching DitF, S;G:0, and Hinamatsuri. Megalobox and Cardcaptor are on my list to watch when they're finished.

[@SilverShion]

Even Boruto has been great this season. FKIN BORUTO !!

[@Shwaggie33]

Because it finally got to the stuff from the Boruto movie, which is actually entertaining. It only took 50 episodes to get good lol....

[@cookiesxsugar9447]

SilverShion Boruto’s been consistently great.

[@RevengedSevenfold]

Sh4ggy To be fair, 80% of Battle Shónen need a number of episodes to air before it they become consistently decent. Hitman Reborn didnt become a proper battle Shónen until episode 20ish, Black Clover became watchable by 15-16, hell even Naruto wasn't too thrilling before the Chūnin Exams.

[@potatomari9644]

SilverShion I dropped it...can I just skip all the bad shit?

[@nhahtrebor91]

I think you mean Boruto's Dad's Son......... common mistake.

[@ChronoAlex]

Am I the only one who watch Captain Tsubasa 2018?! It is so underrated.

[@Flomen01]

Boi. Why have you not made a video about FLCL Progressive yet? It's freaking amazing so far.

[@Slayer9568]

I assume it is because he may not have legal access to it Canada does not have Toonami as far as i know either that or he is waiting for all of Progressive and Alternative to be out

[@chessanator3692]

Hinamatsuri managed to break open my list of perfect-rated anime, heretofore reserved for Madoka and One Punch Man. So I basically came to this video to see if/when Hinamatsuri would get mentioned. I don't know if I'd say it was the best season ever, though. I found a distinct lack of one-tier-down anime - other than Wotakoi - so where last season I was regularly anticipating many different shows this time it's just those two and a bunch of guilty pleasures.

[@loneXolf]

My hero, Sword art, comic girls, and hinamatsuri were the big hitters this season for me.

[@AceK21]

I love the way you review anime! And thank you for mentioning my favorite anime(Steins;Gate) off all time with such praise! El Psy Kongroo,

[@bai_tok]

Saiki Kusuo 2?

[@sushi_cat__]

[@konataizumi4059]

Amazing!

[@TheShadowofsparta]

Don't you see?! It's clear that Dark Reunion is working behind the scenes in a nefarious plot to make sure nobody mentions that amazing show! It would take both of us unsealing the power of our right hands to stop this evil menace!

Gun Gale Alternative looks cool! :D

[@holoweb]

LEGEND OF THE FRICKING GALACTIC HEROES. Where. is. it??

[@atomsk2044]

Progressive seems pretty good so far too, that 1st 2 mins of the 1st episode was amazing!

[@holoweb]

Haven't watched it yet. No access to Adult Swim in this continent...

[@LeyenaZoey]

People show no love to gegege no kitarou. But it's fine, i can enjoy this as my guilty Sunday morning pleasure. It's not special, it's just pleasing.

[@gokuforhiresooon6301]

its pronounce "FRANXX" not "FRANAX" get your facts straight Arkada :P

[@ded4lyfe1]

It’s still shitty.

[@liberalsockpuppet4772]

If I was Arcada, I would say Franax just to piss people off

[@ded4lyfe1]

Bill Barlettano And he’s be wrong and we’d laugh at him. Let’s not move away from betterment.

[@Meracog]

Oh Xanax?

[@11madeye11]

Damn bro. You put in tokyo ghoul but missed out on Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These - Kaikou. This and hinamatsuri are top this season. The others are damn good tho

[@rasend2914]

If you haven't already WATCH FLCL then watch FLCL progressive. You will not regret it. FLCL only has 2-3 episodes, its definitely worth your time

[@VodShod]

Thank you for noticing it was very difficult for me to get that boulder off of me. 2:48 I mean it has been my home for a good long while.

[@ShubhamKumar-co9lv]

Please review Assassination Classroom and mob psycho 100.

[@piyushharjani5220]

Shubham Kumar just watch them both are good :)

[@awesome420ication]

yes!

[@ShubhamKumar-co9lv]

I've watched them oth. just want to see them in his review. especially AC because he sowed some doubt in his FR for it.

[@3up3rn0va]

He did season one of Assassination classroom awhile ago but I would love a season 2 review.

[@ShubhamKumar-co9lv]

AdvancedSoda where?? all I can find is the first reaction.

[@swer9112]

jesus fucking christ ive been keeping up with the season and my name is gary im calling the police

[@Killerqueen2000]

Megalo box is the best of the year easily not counting Legend of the galactic heroes

[@WindHashira]

killerqueen2000 agreed! My brother told me about it and I had low expectations but damn was I wrong! Love the art style

[@levinjo1967]

I do not agree that is the best of the year I think it started off great but now its too predictable and the matches are kida the same e.g. Joe gets knocked down, god knows how many times, in the end he wins w 1 punch.

[@Killerqueen2000]

Alb Warrior It is very cliche but its done decently . episode 11 had cliches but it also had high stakes which is nice.

[@Killerqueen2000]

King of Games Since I'm a fan of Ashita no joe I expected this to at least be decent. Its nowhere near as good as the masterpiece that joe is but its a pretty decent series

[@levinjo1967]

Clorox Bleach Lord agree xD

[@ashleyw.5871]

[@erne57]

Steins;Gate 0 needs more "tuturus" , my heart needs them to cope with all the pain of this series.

[@BasedHalfrican]

I... don't like SAO Alternative. I think your description of a "good story" is horribly wrong, and although I like watching some of the tactics used in the show, the story itself is flimsy, and the main character doesn't have much personality.

[@EightThreeEight]

Still a better character than Kirito, though.

[@praxagorathesmophoria]

"Her secret is safe with his indifference" I saw what you did there. #DeRollo

[@CuteAnimeGirlsAreTheBest]

How about Uma Musume: Pretty Derby? That show is awesome!

[@pabyangloria6936]

Man, Crunchyroll awards this year would be hyped if the next two seasons are consistently good. This year is a good year for anime.

[@Exel3nce]

Pabyan Gloria just like last year
