Currently I've made a List that I started watching this weekend:
1. Hajime No Ippo
2. Fairy Tail
3. Seven Deadly Sins
4. Frieren
5. Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai

I did try to watch the Magi Anime, but I was so disappointed by how much they cut and changed from just the beginning episode I'll stick to the manga. I'm okay with good additional scenes. The First Episodes of the One Piece Anime are a good example of well-crafted additions (Ignoring the filler stuff during the Logue/Rogue Town Arc). But, any time an Anime decides to cut and heavily alter or rearrange things I can't stand it.
It's like the One Piece Live Action all over again! The studio has the perfect pre-viz, a frame-by-frame depiction of what the show should be and people love it. BUT NO! They have to put their two sense in when it's already good enough.
Aside from that I'm enjoying this lineup since I've read a bit deep in each Manga. I know Seven Deadly Sins is I think developed by A-1 like Magi was, or maybe that was Fairy Tail... I know that Seven Deadly Sins anime wise dips on quality, but I'll judge that for myself.
Fairy Tail is an okay read and the anime started just like it. No offense to it, but the co-protagonists: Lucy and Natzu have always felt like a weaker version of how Luffy and Nami were portrayed in the first 60 episodes of the One Piece Anime. Fairy Tail feels a light more light-hearted, which I don't mind. Last year convinced me not everything needs to be prestige to be enjoyable.
Dai's Anime and Manga is another I'd say is okay. I'm at the halfway point in the manga, and the Anime kind of spoiled a twist in the first episode I only realized after getting to the halfway point in the manga. So, if you're ever interested in the Anime and Manga, skip the intro and opening of the first episode. I like this one cuz it's more light-hearted fun, but gets emotional and serious too.
Hajime No Ippo is great, I watched up to episode 5, and have now restarted it. I've read up to like chapter 200 and there's still 1300 after to read in the manga. It's well-written and the anime doesn't seem to take too many liberties for a classic one.
Frieren is the last. I love it dearly. I'm at chapter 20 or so in the manga, and it's already no.4 on my list of favorite Manga/Anime, shoving Baki down to 5. (1 is One Piece, 2 is Jojo, 3 is HNK/SNK) It's got this unique and classic feel that is going to be timeless no doubt.

just wondering.
rn I'm watching chromed sheeld regios.

its alright, takes place on (what I'm assuming is) mars and inside mostly moving, domed cities.
characters are alright, for once I'm somewhat interested in the romance. can't stand the gropping bitch tho.
the world building is also a bit all over the place. like, it is pade very clear that in order fir the cities to be prosperous they constantly need tl fight off monsters and sometimes other cities in tornaments in order to acess new resosurces yet it is frowned upon to fight for money in underground tornaments.
overall, I'd rate it so far a solid 4-5/10
I’m watching the Steel Ball Run anime in 30 days because it’s new and it’s exciting!😆

Best of the current season is probably Oshi no Ko, Sentenced to Be a Hero, and the final season of Golden Kamuy.

edit: and Frieren, can't believe I almost forgot that one.

Macross Delta The Movie - Passionate Walkure

What a rollercoaster ride watching the TV and Movie versions of this series. 😮

Started watching Date a Live for some reason the other day and got through all of the seasons. I thought it was going to keep the light hearted harem nonsense to the end. Instead, I got hit with a plot shift that was way heavier than what I expected and was just fucking sad.

So! Ya know my watchlist I setup February.... WELL... Umm... I did it again.
You see, long ago, I did something similar; I grabbed MHA, HxH, and some other manga... What was it... I don't remember (Yu Yu Hakusho; I still have a lot of love for it, even though I never finished it; the way the author changed the formula of the story those first few times was amazing to me). Anyhow, I decided to lump "One Piece" into the mix cuz it's something I found randomly.
ONE PIECE BECAME MY LIFE FOR YEARS. I abandoned MHA, HxH, all other stories until I caught up.
Lo and Behold, I have an even larger list now, and Anime Included; AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS!?
Vinland Saga. Vinland Saga happened, and it just politely kicked all the other manga and anime I've watched as of late down a peg to take the #1 spot in my eyes. I've read up to chapter 130, and Anime-wise I'm just starting Season 2; I've literally watched the first S2 OP like 60 times! This is a story I've been hungering for since I finished Better Call Saul! It's Gorgeous!
And to think I bought the 35th Anniversary Akira Box Set! I should've bought as many of the Deluxe Vinland volumes as I could!

This has also made me evaluate some things; I don't think I'm going to keep forcing myself to read Fairy Tail; I love moments, but that's exactly it! I kind of regret discovering Better Call Saul, Steel Ball Run, and Vinland now, they've utterly spoiled me.

Only watching Liar Game now. Idk my drive to watch anime has been really low this last three years. It started regaining momentum this year but this season's releases fucking suck.

Something weird is definitely going on, because if you check MAL for example the follows for currently airing animes are at record low. And that includes the somewhat good ones like Akane Banashi.

I just finished Fate/Zero, which I only watched partially when it was airing. It's good. Maybe still the best Fate anything to this day. Haven't watched UBW movie, but I want to give the original VN a proper read before that. I only played the Fate route.
Also I've watched Ima Soko ni Iru Boku. It was good, but it got increasingly more tragic all the way through.
Looking forward to smoking scumbag catgirl and running away boy samurai 2.
