Can anyone recommend anime that doesn't have much/any fan service and no harems? I liked Invincible, Solo Leveling, Mashle: Magic and Muscles, and The Wrong Way to Use Healing Magic. I basically grew up on Dragonball Z which is absolutely filled with WAY too much filler, but it's still so freaking cool. I only watch English dubs because I don't want to read my shows.

No harem is really hard lol. Do you want action anime or other genre is fine too?
I can only recommend other genres: Ramen Akaneko, The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, A Galaxy Next Door.
If you like Solo Leveling, I can recommend Returner Magic Should be Special. It's also from a Korean manhwa/novel. I think it's a better story than Solo Leveling, but the anime is pretty low budget.

I swear I've seen this same character archetype in like five different anime lately. lol

Japanese: isekai
Korean: Regression/Transmigration
Chinese: Cultivation

It's shame that about the quality of animation of Super because this arc sounds kind of awesome. This gives me incentive to read the manga instead because the anime is not giving me the fizz. It's not doing the story justice. Fans, like me, want something memorable. Even Dragon Ball GT looked slick in some parts because it was hand rawn yada yada. And no matter how bad it was, no matter how much filler there was, it had character. Dragon Ball is Japan's jewel, it should be treated as such. Like Godzilla.. Do it justice. for heaven's sake.

I didn’t read past the Universe Survival arc so I can’t speak for Moro, but I wouldn’t be making assumptions yet. The manga art is good but the issue is it is far too fast paced for its own good, at least up to where I read. Yes, the anime has filler, but a lot of those filler episodes can just easily be skipped without losing context during the main story arcs. The anime fleshes out the story of the main arcs better whereas the manga feels like it’s in a hurry to just get through everything.
Also, the manga sometimes seems to just assume you’ve seen the anime. The Resurrection F arc? Summed up in like one page in the manga which makes bringing back Frieza later after that feel more jarring in the manga. And the Broly story is just outright skipped in the manga.
Obviously for now the manga is the ideal choice for Moro and beyond because those arcs haven’t been animated yet, but for everything before I prefer the anime and consider the manga a nice bonus choice.

I was just looking at Science Saru Wikipedia Page and it looks like they are working on the next Ghost In The Shell show. I hope it's great since I love Season 1/2 of Ghost In The Shell SAC + the movie. The Netflix SAC 3D Sequel Anime Series was horrible
Oh shit, Danmachi is next season? Hopefully it's as good as S4. Last season was really great
Here's the complete list for next season
Fall 2024 - Anime - MyAnimeList.net

OH SHIT SHANGRI-LA FRONTIER 2 IS ALSO NEXT SEASON
Tensei Kizoku, Kantei Skill de Nariagaru 2nd Season also next season.
NEW NATSUME YUUJINCHOU?!
MAGILUMIERE TOO?!
Dang, another packed season
Right now there's 4 shows I really want to see out of those fall 2024 lineup. I haven't heard of the ones you mentioned just now. Most of the time I just read the manga
Hopefully they can do the art justice
I love Chainsaw Man (Manga) but when it comes to art Dandadan is on another level. I need to catch up on both Mangas but I feel that Chainsaw Man art isn't as good compared to Dandadan art. I just hope the art and animation is high quality when it comes to the anime

The correct choice, screw all these deep character development shit. Force them to acknowledge some random ass background character who's name is hilarious.

The author also wrote Kemono Michi. It's a little different, but might be worth checking out.

Watched half of the new Ranma. It's much better than I was expecting. The first two episodes are a bit lacking compared to the original (largely do to the lack of music), but things vastly improve from the third episode. I'm also not a fan of the current ending theme, but I like what they did for the opening theme. I think the best thing so far is the pacing of the romance development. It feels like each episode is building on the relationship little by little. This is something I felt the Lum anime could've maybe have done better.Man I'm so tempted to Google these up

Reminded me of the 1st popularity vote for Frieren:

I got to ask. In newer animes do they get actually English speakers when the character is supposed to speak English? Just asking asking since I'm watching Itazura na Kiss on Amazon prime and it's subtitled but a couple characters are supposed to be English speakers but you can tell the VA's aren't. (They probably sound almost as bad as me speaking French when I got stuck taking that in college. I wish I could have gotten out of that one.) You'd think they'd just hire a second set of voice actors to do the English parts.
NanaMiku

Nope, still the same.
The only anomaly is this anime, the voice actor for EN and JP is the same because she grew up in LA
She also have a YouTube channel

Love me some Takanori. The first video still doesn't show up, but I'm in Japan, so maybe it's related.

Personally, I'm more surprised that See Saw is back just for Freedom... Need more See Saw

anybody watched Land Of Tanabata?
I know it's a live action thing, but it's one of the most faithful adaptation from a manga I've ever seen. they did add some minor things in there to pad thing up a little but over all it pretty much followed the original in all the details. I've been a big fan of Hitoshi Iwaaki's Parasyte and I read Tanabata back when it was first serialized. it is a slow burn but it's pretty interesting. if you want to binge something over the weekend, this 10 eps sci-fi mystery series would be just the thing for you.

I just found out that Jump also made a video presentation like Nintendo Direct lol
Witch Watch is now confirmed to receive an anime. From the author of Sket Dance and Astra Lost in Space. All of his works have received anime.
From my observations, their focus right now is more on comedy manga.

shonen battle, sure. But Jump currently has pretty diverse titles, not focusing on battle only

They're literally doing a Battle Manga competition. DanDaDan and CSM are Jump+

See, you ain't wrong, the only thing SJ is lacking is a notable sports series but the battle manga is what the average consumer loves, Undead Unluck and Sakamoto Days just aren't big enough. Elusive Bussy has had a boost from the anime.

Their sports title are in the other magazine. My favorite is Days of Diamond. Jump has too much spinoff magazine lol.

Started watching Gundam After War X after that dude who sometimes posted on here was gassing the fuck out of it but dropped it like two months ago. Picked it back up at the end of the Sea of Lorelei... If you ignore that this show completely fucking fails at the premise of Mad Max Gundam like it pitches in the first episode it's actually okay. The English ending song is good.

Yeah, there's a couple stretches of dumb in the show, like the Lorelei Sea and Estardo arcs. Still a whole bunch of good throughout if you're not expecting Mad Max and know it's gonna be a space opera.

Dunno where to best put these, but here's two gifs I've made with Alya from Roshidere.

Tower Dungeon is like if Yasumi Matsuno made Darkest Dungeon and it's fucking fire. I don't like how Nihei's style has gotten more round and and less detailed with age but it's still very good.

Yeah, that's a concern for sure. The art is next level for sure. It's kinda nuts that it's a weekly series

Watched Jujutsu Kaisen and thought it was really solid. Watched two episodes of the Terminator anime and really don't want to watch any more of that.
Might start Delicious in Dungeon next.
