Oh, finished Cardcaptor Sakura yesterday, just in time for Clear Card!

I watched Devilman Crybaby today. As someone who's only casually familiar with the source material I thought it was pretty good. The animation was great and I liked the new characters and the new plots.

It felt like it expanded on the manga while also incorporating new themes but it kept the really important aspects which worked out rather well.

Some touches were especially fun, like making the first Devilman anime a thing that exists in this fictional universe. It was a nice excuse to give us a remix of the old theme, something I always appreciate in reboots/remakes.

If you're a fan of Devilman you probably watched it already, if you don't know much about it I'd say give it a watch. But be warned, this is some really heavy shit right here. Not just because of the blood, gore, and sex. It gets worse than that...

I watched all episodes of Pingu in the City and I am just waiting for the 13th Episode on Otaku Stream

Pingu BEST anime!
According to a friend of mine, (Their name is SunshineMoonRX on twitter) it's pretty ok but fails to live up to the source material
Oh, and Pop Team Epic is out now, I'm going to watch that in a bit

Nonsense. Corey in the House and King of the Hill are the best anime ever.

I have seen six episodes of Devilman Crybaby and I really like it so far. The word of mouth on social media really surprises me. It seems like a lot of people are enjoying it more than I thought. I will post my final thoughts on the show later tonight in this thread.

Devilman is very violent, but at least it works in my opinion. The blood, gore, violence, sex and disturbing images are necessary to the story and world of the series because of the themes of the story. Devilman is a anti-war story with the idea of humans becoming monsters as a metaphor being draft into battle. The story carries a message on how there is no justice in any type of war.

What I love about the original manga and Crybaby is that it exploits the violence and nudity, but does so to convey a message about where society is going. It is edgy done right. I seen anime fans that view edgy as a bad thing when it is not always a bad thing. Titles like Berserk, Parasyte, The Guyver, Psycho Pass, Akira and Devilman do edgy right in my opinion while anime like Corpse Party, Future Diary and Akame Ga Kill (I did like it at first, but found myself hating it as time goes on) try too hard on being shocking and disturbing without doing it right in my opinion.

Oh yeah definitely, it's not your super-edgy anime that just does this shit because it can, there's a message behind it. But the gore and sex you can usually deal with as an adult, the emotional stuff still hits you pretty hard though IMO.

What I really liked was reading how many people felt messed up after the ending, that really reminded me how I felt when I read the last few chapters of the manga :lol

With Anime Strike's demise (finally!), I'm wasting no time catching up on some of the big shows I missed. So started Made in Abyss last night. Only watched 2 episodes, but already really like the character and world.

I will probably check out Inuyashiki, the new Garo anime and Ito Junji next after I'm done with Devilman Crybaby. I dig the first two volumes of the Inuyashiki manga. So I will probably enjoy the anime.

I don't know why I'm saying this but whenever I watch animes of Chi, like Chi's Sweet Home, I always get easily emotional, because of Chi, as she is adorable, cute, funny and happy. When Chi is happy and playful, I said to myself, that is what life should about. OMG I can't even stop crying :(
