One Piece has way too many episodes. It's almost impossible to start now.

@and1salttape: Looks like something I might enjoy. Thanks for posting it.

It has finished airing now and it's easily one of the best anime I've ever watched. The ratings are pretty high too. Be sure to watch it; you don't see anime that actually teach you something about Japanese culture often.

Right now watching Casshern Sins. Loving the atmosphere so far.

I watched it when it aired here ... its incredible boring, I think I really hate Anime tv shows since Dragon ball, its the script of 4 comic book pages and the whole episode literally nothing happens we dont already know ... One Piece was only invented to sell trading cards and toys if you arnt aware ^^

@superbuuman: At 700+ episodes, that's a lot of filler. =0

I'm juggling a couple of shows right now, so it could be a while. =P

new anime recommendation,
this is a new anime that just started airing and it was really good

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

"As the world is in the middle of an industrial revolution, a monster appears that cannot be defeated unless its heart, which is protected by a layer of iron, is pierced. By infecting humans with its bite, the monster can create aggressive and undead creatures known as Kabane. On the island Hinomoto, located in the far east, people have built stations to shelter themselves from these creatures. People access the station, as well as transport wares between them, with the help of a locomotive running on steam, called Hayajiro. Ikoma, a boy who lives in the Aragane station and helps to build Hayajiro, creates his own weapon called Tsuranukizutsu in order to defeat the creatures. One day, as he waits for an opportunity to use his weapon, he meets a girl named Mumei, who is excused from the mandatory Kabane inspection. During the night, Ikoma meets Mumei again as he sees Hayajiro going out of control. The staff on the locomotive has turned into the creatures. The station, now under attack by Kabane, is the opportunity Ikoma has been looking for."

no problems :D
if you get the chance, find the manga for "Erased", it is different from the anime, reason: the manga is still not finished, so the anime had to make an original ending for it

Anime's really need to tone down their useless screaming. It get so annoying that I want to quit the show.( Talking about both My Hero Academia and Kabaneri of iron fortress.)

Kabaneri is already awful when it comes to the main characters, they're unlikable as they come. The main guy is literally a wannabe Eren Jaeger that got lucky and that loli girl is somehow overpowered along with having a shit attitude while narrating her actions. The story isn't anything special either, nothing is really thrilling about it.

The only anime I'm enjoying for the most part this season is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable. As for the rest, the Ace Attorney anime is literally mediocre to bad at this point and the animation/art is a joke. Last but not least, Terra Formars Revenge (and the overall series) is horrible when it comes to the plot but is enjoyable nonetheless because of how dumb it is and of course, those "black" cockroaches and they are at least trying to follow the manga from the latest episode. I'm sure everyone would like for the author to come out and just say he's racist because it's obvious, however ironically that's one of the reasons why I like it: to point and laugh at it.

@uninspiredcup: Amazing episode, wasn't it? The last few episodes have been quite good. I am curious to know how they are going to use that monaka guy. I think he'll be the next Mr. Satan.

Also, do you think Goku in this form is stronger or at least on par with Beerus?

Akira Toriiyama commented that there was no current plans for that but the show has deviated a few times.

It seems like the people making the show have made taken in and addressed early criticism. The animations and cinematography jumped from the poorer early episodes to almost on a par with the feature movies.

DIamond unbreakable has been pretty good so far.

I'm really dreading the universe reset animation because I like the jjba characters before universe reset

@shadowchronicle Makes me glad I binged on watching JoJo some weeks back. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to watch this season.

@superbuuman I caught up with the manga completely yesterday, it was better than the anime by a long shot. :P Also no annoying censorship, I remember dropping the first season because of how terrible they were.

@superbuuman: Well, Casshern Sins is slow as hell but still a worthy watch. The dialogues are deceptively deep. Episode 12 has been my favorite thus far. The soundtrack (especially Luna's theme) is great too. It's a bit of a drag but worth a drag.

Hell yeah. Joker Game is my AOTY. Frigging awesome. 5th episode was just mind-blowing.

Finally finished Casshern Sins. Loved it. 9/10
It had its flaws but the theme and atmosphere won me over.

For those that enjoyed Mirai Nikki, here is another anime recommendation from the same author

Big Order

They are called "Order User". Before these great people who has the power of "Order", one person excels most, with the ability to rule and conquer the world and turn people into puppets when it is on his Jurisdiction. That power belongs to Hoshimiya Eiji, who is also responsible with the destructive phenomena happened exactly 10 years ago." -baka-updates

Truth to be told, I didnt notice that this was from the same author until I saw the art in the manga. The protagonist's artwork reminded me of the protagonist in Mirai Nikki, and the crazy heroine reminded me of the crazy heroine in Mirai Nikki. LOL

@davillain-: its a series that started airing this season, so its still ongoing. As for how many episodes this is going to be, its scheduled for 10 episodes, currently only 5 episodes have aired, the manga is still ongoing, so there might be a second season for it depending on how popular the show becomes.

This is the list for Summer 2016 anime

http://anichart.net/summer

in that list, it appears Berserk is getting a TV series, looking forward for that

Also the next season for Shokugeki no Souma is in it

Arslan Senki Season 2 is also airing, so for those that love Full Metal Alchemist, its the same artist/animator who's working on it

Lets also not forget abount Danganronpa, love the series, so really exited for that

BTW @davillain- you might will definitely like Masou Gakuen HxH

Tales of Zestiria willalso be getting an anime adaptation, so hoping its going to be like Abyss where we get from beginning till end

This one is a surprise D.Grayman is getting a new TV adaptation

And if you like powered suit police unit, then Active Raid S2 is stated to air

Seen both though haven't finished Durarara season 2 arc 3

Hunter X Hunter is fantastic every arc is great and it gets far darker the more it goes on.

Durarara is great as well though there are tons of characters to follow but I love the story though it isn't for everyone

Completely agree! that's a great way of putting it, couldn't have said it better myself :DD Hunter X Hunter has a brilliant way of making the audience feel the change in atmosphere after each arc ~

I remember the first time i watched durarara years ago it was confusing to me at first, but once i got that it was showing me multiple events through different characters eyes , i began to really enjoy it, but yea it can be hard to get into~

@sapphiregod11: Watched Durarara long ago. Loved it. Haven't watched second season.

I recently finished HxH. I loved the Yorknew City arc but the later Chimera arc just didn't suit my palette. I liked the philosophical touch at the end with the King and Komugi but apart from that, that arc was a long drag.
