This is an unreasonable request.... but I agree completely

Sloth being the fastest homunculus is a display of WHY we consider sloth to be a sin; he has all this potential but is too lazy to use it. He's also too lazy to even question why he's doing something he doesn't want to do and just blindly follows orders, making the world a worse place in the process.

I didn't realize until now, but Lola is wearing an Attack on Titan sweater. Awesome.

For me, Code Geass is the child of Attack on Titan and Death Note, and has the good and bad of both. Especially that so many female characters are portrayed like Misa Amane is a big minus point of the anime for me (even if they are much better developed character-wise). Also: themes and plot are very similar to the two anime. This could take a lot of depth out of the story, since Death Note and Attack on Titan are still very fresh. Code Geass is therefore something they should start in two years if they still have interest in the story then.
Monster would be great! But since I also started a rewatch the other day: Violet Evergarden offers so much potential for discussion. I'd love to see a reaction from them on this anime. I'm just wondering if they might like the anime. There's just a lot of discussion about love, but not perse in the romantic sense. A father's love for his daughter, a mother's love for her child, ... would be examples that come to mind, and how our main character learns what those emotions mean.
But I also kind of want them to watch Spy x Family. It's so good... I can see the next war breaking out if they do a poll. 😂

Ima save my recommendation for a new anime when yall are actually real close to finishing FMAB LOL. But this ep was fucking crazy! You guys should also really pay attention to the significance of how all the homunculus that died so far in the series (Lust, Gluttony, 1st Greed)! They went out all in interesting and ironic ways way back in the show if you really go back and think about their death scenes! Just goes to show the amazing writing in FMAB!

Fire seems to be the best weapon against homunculi. Even father returned the first greed to him by submerging him in lava.

Horrible reduction of Hunter x Hunter I must say...
'99 version is nothing like that and the 2011 has other focuses as well.

I think people should stop hyping it. I saw the first 21 chapters I think(the hunter's exam arc) and was very disappointed at it and quit. A year after that, I watched FMAB and was hooked from the beginning. I still want to watch HxH, but the first 20 chapters are really rough.

I'm not against the girls watching Vinland Saga though.

FMAB has fighting but it's a direct consequence of the plot. There are characters trying to achieve a goal, and characters who are trying to achieve the opposite goal, therefore conflict. HxH is about "let's see this character vs this other character". I like HxH but the fighting is the main idea of the show and there's nothing wrong with that. Vinland Saga is an anime about vikings which tries to be realistic. And because it tries to be realistic it has no choice but to depict its protagonists as terrible human beings (by today's standards). I found it a tougher watch than Vikings and had to quit. The only characters I felt sympathy for were those being raped and murdered in the background.

I love this episode, because Kimblee's philosophy is really laid bare. Like before you'd get pieces of it, and it was easy to just write him off as a psychopath. But in this episode, you see that he listens and at least attempts to understand the brothers, and even offers a counterpoint, right before going back to insane fighting.

I think you reduced HxH too much. It’s like saying FMAB is about the fights. HxH explores really well a lot of psychological and emotional aspects and it is my favorite parte of the anime, not the fights (Like FMAB).
Vinland Saga’s description is not totally accurate. Lots of good people there, and it focuses a lot on two particular characters. Again, i believe most value of Vinland saga, much like HxH or FMAB, is not the fights themselves.
Monster was a fair description

Vinland Saga would be a great anime to watch next, depending on how many episodes a week you watch you should catch up before second season comes out, which is going to be amazing. I'm not so worried about it being different from what you've watched because a good story is going to hook you regardless of the genre or style as you've learned from watching cartoons and animes, not just live action

Hunter x Hunter is like the draft version of Naruto. It's very creative though incoherent in terms of world-building. Has some very memorable characters. Jujutsu Kaisen is similar to HxH and Naruto but I think it should be watched based on the quality of the animation alone. Demon Slayer has the shonen formula down to perfection. All these are fight-anime meaning the bulk of it is about X character fighting Y character, more geared towards a male audience. Vinland Saga is rough. All of the characters are a murderers, rapists, thieves, or a combination of the three. Very hard to sympathize with any of the protagonists. Monster is a mystery-thriller. Your reviews will probably end up being more than twice the length of the episode.

I meant for this to be a list, but clicking between the first two 'hypes' and trying to hit enter failed.

Honestly think rating the best moments that made you both cry would be a great video to watch hahaha. As it's not as if you'd be at a loss of instances to choose from

Sloth being fast isn't actually an irony. Sloth means reluctance to work or make an effort not necessarily lacking the ability to make something happen. Just laziness.

Vinland Saga is different from what they’ve seen. So I’m not sure if they would enjoy it. But it is a great anime that’ll have a season 2 soon

Monster has our main boy, best boy. Code Geass they would fall in love with Lelouch. His struggles and love for his family and friends are top tier

I feel like they may or may not require some patience in the first 10 or so episodes to evaluate id they are enjoying it. HxH is an anime that becomes absolutely god like later on imho. Kurapika’s/spider arc and the ants is something they would enjoy a lot. But getting there may be a problem

Yeah, I remember how bittersweet it feels to finish Fullmetal Alchemist. Unlike other series that continually get milked with new content, FMA kinda just ends. There's a new mobile game and live action movies now, but when I first watched FMAB, there was nothing. Technically, there's a movie, but I didn't hear good things about it. There's also an audio drama called "Meteor Plan" which serves as a prequel for Ling, but I can't find an English translation of it.

@Merfhew i'm still on the no with demon slayer tbh, but jjk is completely different. and i read the manga of jjk, what's coming next is so fucking great i could cry just thinking about it. my favourite arc won't be animated till s3 but the arcs of s2 are amazing, it's going to be s1 on steroids lol
and yeah, the jjk0 movie is incredible.

Ima be real, Full Metal Alchemist is prob one of the most fulfilling animes out there. I also have a feeling Hxh won't be their type of anime tbh

At one point, I was vehemently on the "no Jujutsu Kaisen, no Demon Slayer, let's avoid generic action shonen series on this channel" train, but after watching the JJK0 movie, I have to admit... I wouldn't be upset if they reacted to Jujutsu Kaisen. Would it be their favorite show? No. Are there better shows out there? Probably. Would they enjoy it? I think so, yes. While it's not my #1 recommendation, I'm not opposed to it anymore.
Merfhew
2022-09-25 22:59:23 +0000 UTC
i know jujutsu kaisen is not right up your alley, but god, i'm so hyped up by s2 and knowing for certain which arcs are going to be animated for that season that i wish you reacted to it.
but yeah, i agree, fmab yet as not the best choice for my first anime because i've yet to find an anime this good.
hope you had a nice time at the wedding.

Time for a drinking game. Take 1 shot for every mention of HxH in the comments (this one counts).
