    Still watching Magi. Not bad, but it's nothing exceptionally great either.

    One thing that I'm beginning to find specially annoying in animes are the breakdowns and over the top dramatic reactions of their characters. As I've said on other occasions, I like drama and emotions in fiction, but sometimes this is way too much in animes. For instance, I really enjoyed Re:zero, but I began finding so annoying having to put up with 2/3 emotional breakdowns by the main character each episode. It goes like: emotions are overflowing within the character, who starts crying silently and then... HE STARS YELLING BECAUSE HE'S SO DESPERATE BECAUSE HE "DAISUKI" EVERYBODY AND NOBODY UNDERSTANDS HIM AND HE'S GIVING HIS ALL AND... ¬_¬

    Of course, I understand that a person in such situations may feel that way, but in terms of how to depict fiction and develop a story within a cartoon show, it may be tiring if this is way too frequent... I can really like an emotional breakdown and seeing how a character is pouring their heart out, being truthful, repentant, etc., but in order to truly appreciate that, it must be an exception, not the rule because then there's no point, IMO.

    No. My kids did and keep bugging me to watch it, so of course I won't! :p

    But you should. It's one of very few cases of original anime being good and not some kind of trainwreck.

    I will get to it, I just know it isn't a "happily ever after one" and I can't deal with something that heavy right now. I'm trying to use anime to destress. ;)

    Duh, designed by the author of Hidamari Sketch.
    It's supposed to. The characters designs along with opening are in stark contrast with everything else in the show.

    Yep. Watching all those except Boruto. Also watching Juuni Taisen, UQ Holder!, Code Realize - Sousei no Himegimi, Dies Irae and Garo - Vanishing Line. It should be a very good season!

    Magi, episode 20. It's getting better, IMO.

    It peaks at Magnostadt (I dunno if that arc was adapted into anime).

    I finished Magi, first season. I will wait a bit until I begin with season two, and I'm really willing to watch it. As I said in previous posts, it got better, in my opinion, and I really liked some of the characters that appear in the last episodes.

    I started Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, which some of you recommended. I'm liking it.

    1. juuni taisen, is a wildcard for me. I love the bloody action but I feel like the story just wont pay off. I will be watching it closely though.
    2. UQ holder!, I just binged the first few eps and I am really liking it. I even am watching NEGIMA!? MAGISTER NEGI MAGI which is connected to that world somehow.
    3. Garo makes me feel sick during the action scenes but I feel obligated to watch it because I liked the last 2 Garo's.

    DO NOT, and I mean DO NOT watch any Negima adaptation, they are all butchered as fuck.
    Read the manga.
