    I’m about 6 episodes in to season 2 of magus bride. The animation is even better than the first season. The eye candy alone makes it worth the watch. And so far , I’m liking season 2 better than one. I like all the new characters. It all together seems like a upgrade in all the right directions. Definitely looking forward on what’s to come.

    The kingdoms of ruin -

    If you’re looking for a revenge anime here it is. Looks like a nice bloody way to start off the fall anime season. Episode 2 is going to be something brutal. I don’t love the anime or hate it. Needs better writing. If nothing else I’ll be tuning in for ep 2 just for some blood shed.

    shangri la frontier -



    Another VR/EPG video game anime? *eye roll*…
    WRONG! Take back the eye roll.
    The MC doesn’t die a random death or anything of the sort. He lives his natural s-----y life outside of the game. Overpowered? No! This actually plays out exactly as you’re playing a video game. The animation is fantastic. And how they start episode one is absolutely brilliant and hilarious. Like holy s---,lol

    It doesn’t look like SLF is here to rival the previous top anime’s of the RPG genre. It’s here to raise the bar and stand on its very own. This very well might become a top tier anime.

    this is it folks. This will be the anime that leads the fall season of anime.

    My next pick for fall anime was going to be “Ragna Crimson” but it’s not on Crunchyroll. And my recent investment of isekai anime has put me onto “the far away paladin”. I think season one came out last year. But it should keep me entertained until I stumble across another anime for the fall season.

    I’ll either get to it later today most likely. I’m on episode 10 of the far away paladin. If there’s any other new anime that has caught your eye let me know.

    have you watched shangri la frontier? Everyone needs to give that one a try. The whole thing is a vibe. I try to start as many new anime as I can each season so I don’t miss anything,lol.

    I read a few manga chapters on the airport 2 years ago because it was included on the Crunchyroll app and his bird head looked funny. I remember that I liked it but never continued afterwards. Gonna give the anime a shot! I think Undead Unlucky is also out but only on Hulu (whot tf has that). It's a pretty good shonen and the world building is great but it suffers from the usual sexual shonen clichés. Spy x Family new episode is also out

    Let me know what you think of shangri la frontier. There’s only 2 episodes out. So won’t take you long to catch up. You’ll be sold on it in the first 20 seconds. I’ll check out “undead unlucky” I’m saving spy family for when I can’t find a anime to watch.

    Crunchyroll launches own 24/7 channel.

    https://www.cbr.com/crunchyroll-launches-linear-us-anime-channel-telecast/


    First a merge with funimation, now this? Crunchyroll doesn’t seem to be playing around.

    what’s wrong with the app and website ? I use the app on the tv daily and never had a issue with it.

    Hunter x hunter isn’t returning . Fans call it hiatus x hiatus for a reason. Every year or so the creator releases a chapter because it’s in his contract to release material. But don’t get your hopes up on a actual return.

    I would love to see the return of HxH. I just know better than to get my hopes up.

    Yeah. He’s literally been doing this s--- for a decade. There’s even a chart that lists all its “returns”

    Never was a huge gamer and I despise isekai (except KonoSuba) so idk how much I will enjoy this. The first two episodes were alright, really impressed by the quality. I will give it a shot!

    not a huge gamer myself. Specially after I lost my hand back in 2020. Kind of hard to play a game with one hand lol. But usually in anime like this if they die in the game they die in real life. This seems to be more of a “we’re going to have fun it’s just a video game” vibe. The animation for this is pretty great. It actually surprised me. Konosuba is probably the funniest anime I’ve seen.

    Oh no, my condolences, I didn't know that. Hope life is still somehow manageable with one hand, God bless you my friend.

    I remember the ShanFron Manga artstyle being really good so definitely hoping for a continously good animation quality. And yeah, you're right it's really not that tropey, just more or a fun and not to serious anime to watch.

    Can also recommend the remake of Rurouni Kenshin. It misses some of the charm from the 90s show but it's not so slow and really polished (some may not like that). Sadly the author is a disgusting piece of doodoo
