I wish you didn't have to pay for funimation though. I already have hulu and netflix. We got rid of cable over a year ago.

Funimation is more awkward than CR in that it takes out eps in the middle of the series so you basically have to pay for a subscription. I personally hate Funimation because it's 90% dub and some series only have dub, which I won't watch, but there are two or three series that used to be on CR but now aren't because of some kind of split between CR and Funimation and in order to watch them I have to have both.

It doesn't amuse me :/ I am considering getting rid of Funimation though because I really don't use it very much compared to CR.

However if you like dubs Funimation is generally better. Only a few series on CR have dub versions.

I prefer dubs 90% of the time. I just never liked crunchy roll.  I also can't afford a bunch of streaming services.

Got the Chocola books off of the shelf because the hardback ones were so heavy and having all that weight on the shelf was making me nervous. :yikes:

I was wondering if there was a free option for Funimation. I kept looking on their site trying to see if there was one. Maybe I can subscribe to Funimation later on.


Here's pics of my 2019 Fruits Basket poster that I got at the bookstore.

I'll take it once you've found it then! I don't own any cards in that set.

Note that all of the cards I posted yesterday are just the ones I had recently bought and got sent out in that package. I have a big binder filled with Di Gi Charat trading cards, most I've had for several years now lol. Might try taking photos of all of cards in it sometime soon....

I have binge watched Sword Art Online, and I think I liked it. Not as well as Violet, but I liked it. I really like that Kitori is a crybaby at times- because he goes through some bad stuff. I kind of like him. And the story reminded me of back in the days when I was playing Final Fantasy 8 with my sister ^.^ For any FF 8 players out there: I got this Squall vibe from Kitori, and I adore Squall :heart:

I think my main issue with these stories is their age... I know that is sort of the whole point with YA, but I just feel that their character arcs would fit with being a little bit older. Maybe not so much in SAO (but I mean Sugu does not look like a middle school’er to me), but I definetely felt that way in Violet Evergarden. Violet says she is 14 years old, and I just don’t feel that the story works with that... So in my head I bumped them all up a few years  :lol: Is this the case with anime though? Are they often this young? I would have imagined that there is an audience for older age groups as well  :P

@Taffeta: Thanks for the directions to Fruit Baskets! I’ll check it out!


If you liked SAO, you would probably like Log Horizon.  It's the same kind of deal, everyone trapped in the video game, and the characters seem to have a wide age range (some are kids, some are married).  There are only 2 seasons.  There are rumors of a third, but I don't know when that will happen.  Apparently the creator got arrested for tax evasion and is finally back to working on the mangas so we'll see if they do the third season or not.

Started watching the live action Bleach movie last night....

As someone who watched and read the original Bleach and even translated bits of it at one point for an online community, I was really really sceptical of the movie. I mean, those kinds of things are usually terrible.

It's not absolutely brilliant but it could have been a lot worse in my opinion.
Spoiler
Many many issues with Byakuya, though. Aside from completely negating his moral compass by making him 'negotiate' over Rukia's life, what the heck kind of costume was that? The head of the stiffest and most elite of elite noble families turning up in the Real World like that...? No...

They also shunted a bunch of things out of order and changed sections of the plot around. But in the end it wasn't as terrible as I expected.

It was less terrible than the final arc of the manga, which was so awful it should have never have happened.

Bleach is one of the few mainstream series for which I have a really fond affinity because of all the hidden stuff going on behind the scenes, and the bakumatsu symbolism, cultural nods to all over Japanese and other culture...and the many great character moments (and basically the SS arc, which was the best arc and never got beaten by any of the others...still love it to death, Shinigami ftw)...

So I kind of hope they will do a sequel movie for the SS arc. So long as it's no worse than this one.

I also hope they never animate the final arc. Because, honestly, it will make my eyes bleed.
Spoiler
The whole series did have ups and downs - and esp with filler anime arcs and eps sometimes appearing at unbelievable times mid plot - but the final manga arc retconned most of the existing canon/development/bonds/explanation around characters, scenes, plot, etc that had been put in place over 10 years of manga. Battles began and didn't end, or ended but didn't begin, and nothing actually got properly resolved. Characters also got sacrificed without a proper explanation and sometimes disappeared for 2 years (actual years) at a time without mention only to reappear in the same spot much much later...
Yeah, it was a mess. :(
