Topic: Anime & Manga (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

@RR529 You certainly like Inuyasha, huh?

@EllaTheKawaiiNeko, yeah, along with DBZ, InuYasha was one of my favorites back in middle/high school, so it's kinda like my comfort food anime these days.

Already recently rewatched it back in 2020 as well (on Hulu), so once I'm done with the BD's I'll probably try giving it a longer break before watching it again though.

@RR529 I still am in middle school, and my comfort anime are slice of lifes and romcoms. Though, I love a little dark anime, like Steins;Gate or Made in Abyss. I've also been bingeing No Game No Life with my brother the past two days.

Newest pickups.

Akira - Just watched it on Friday. All these years later & it still looks stunning (especially cleaned up in HD). The ending is still a bit confusing, but each time I watch it I think I understand it just a bit more... maybe.

Ninja Scroll - It's been years since I last watched this, but I remember it having copious amounts of gore & nudity, so it'll probably still be a good time, lol. Also, the slip cover has a cool shiny holographic effect on the sword which is cool.

Expelled From Paradise - Had to pay an arm & a leg to get this, but I had the means to go for it so I figured I'd jump while I had the chance. Watched it on Netflix years ago & remember really liking it.

To Love Ru complete series (To Love Ru, Motto TLR, and Darkness 1 & 2) - I used to read fan scantlations of the manga way back when, but dropped it after getting to Darkness (I think this is when it lost all inhibition when it came to the fan service & went wild with it) because I got caught up with it & never bothered checking to see if it ever finished (that, & I was a bit miffed that the decision to go bonkers with the nudity correlated with a shift away from Lala & the other older cast in favor of her younger sisters & newer cast members). Still overall liked the series though, so I figured it was time to nab the anime now that this all in one collection was released.

Bonus: Ninja Scroll & Expelled From Paradise outside of the slip cases.

I have to admit, I'm fascinated that that one girl's outfit makes her boobs look like onigiri.

It has to be intentional, I'm convinced.

Have any of you guys seen the new Konosuba Megumin spinoff? I’m thinking of renewing my Crunchyroll subscription to watch it.

My most recent collection additions.

Gunbuster - Really excited to get to this. I've only ever watched the abridged movie version a few years ago on HiDive. Thought about buying that version physically but held off in the hopes that the entire thing would get a remastered release some day, and luckily my patience paid off.

InuYasha Set 6 - Last set of the original series. Just getting ready to start the last disc. Been pretty nice rewatching one of the favorite anime of my teens, though I will say it starts to lose steam after the first couple seasons.

Urusei Yatsura: Remember my Love - Just watched it over the weekend. Not as good as Beautiful Dreamer, but still a good time.

I know Mario isn't anime, but I plan on posting the pic in some other spaces (non-anime exclusive) as well, so figured I'd throw it in.
