Phantom 13 Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) General discussion for any anime you have watched recently, the same goes for any manga you have read. Me personally, I have just started catching up on Naruto Shippuden - after going on a long hiatus with it. I also started getting back into Studio Ghibli films (most recently Laputa). But in terms of anything non-generic. Your Name (Kimi no Na wa) Highschool students switching bodies, is the basic summary. But will hit you in the feelers... At least for me it did. The story undoubtly has its fair share of plot holes, but I was definitely hooked. The animation and artstyle is also superb. Sword Gai I have tried to get into this... believe me, I tried... but I just could not get passed the first two episodes. From what I gathered, the plot revolves around people with too much money finding Legendary swords with their own shady past, with a mix of senseless violence. In terms of story elements, I am drawing a lot of similarities with Berserk, Elfen Lied and most especially Fullmetal Alchemist, to put it bluntly... but keep in mind, that is JUST my observation. What slammed the final nail in the coffin for me was when one of the characters "summons a lightning sword" - instantly reminded me of the cheesiness from He-Man or Thundercats (gems from their own time period)… But with that said, I will leave this up for your own judgement. I'm probably being too harsh with this particular anime. Feel free to share your list, thoughts, recommendations or anything you're curious to watch.
