Or buy the Blu-rays.

I dunno any Streaming services that focus on older stuff sadly.

Thanks. I’ll see if I can get the Blurays. Honestly is just to have a nostalgic trip, I remember watching it as a kid and it was a lot of fun, and I fucking love the opening.

 

[「Echo」]

I mean hey, maybe somebody else knows a service. Kvik talks about one for Aussie I've never heard of. For me I'm only subscribed to Hulu+ (since it works in America and Japan with little hassle.)

Beyond that I usually buy blu-rays for anything I can't stream. And heck I'll admit it, for old stuff to hard to find or obscure...

 

[Kvik]

NarohDethan , Patlabor is available for streaming on HIDIVE.

TV

To combat the illegal use of labors, the police use advanced patrol labor units known as Patlabors.

www.hidive.com

Looks like it's NA region only though, since it's being geoblocked in my region. You can also watch the OVA and movies as well.

I love Patlabor too (I even watched a few episodes last week), always good to see another boomer mecha anime fan around these parts.

Eventually I'd like to get around to Patlabor myself. I have a great backlog of older anime which is basically why I've ignored so much newer stuff. The problem is anime sits on a priority list even lower than gaming for me.

 

[Anteater]

Anime is cancelled, RIP anime.

Same. I’d like to watch more but I have to keep torturing myself with Apex Legends

 

[Kvik]

With all the delays surrounding seasonals, catching up with anime backlog seems like the best course of action.

Hopefully, Galkyo and Yesterday wo Utatte will keep airing though, I watch these religiously.

Time to get Into an anime again thats about an underdog fighting against overwhelming odds and always coming out on top thanks to the help of his ingenuity and friends, thats going to run for 8 seasons and really shits the bed in the last third

Fairy Tail?

I haven't been following Shonen Jump anime since forever. These days I'm all about

 

[Ascheroth]

Anime is cancelled, RIP anime.

I expect everything that isn't already completely finished with production to end up being delayed eventually tbh.
Wonder how many seasons in total will be messed up until things return to relative normalcy, but it's fine my backlog is endless.

 

[Hektor]

The EVA movies are now on... Youtube?

Get out of here, Hektor it's not April Fools you know.

No subs though, I'm not weeb enough to understand japanese

We should have a Japanese Learning thread here

We should have a Japanese Learning thread here

Then we should also have a suicide watch thread, for when we tackle kanji

 

[Hektor]

Violet Evergarden episode 6 through 9 were quite literally this

 

[prudis]

just wait for ep 10


BTW: watch

 

[NarohDethan]

I accessed my crunchyroll account for the first time in years and had a lot of devices activated despite not owning said devices. Is that a bug or something? Nobody changed the password, made any payments, and there was nothing wrong with the viewing history

 

[NarohDethan]

Started watching Kaguya sama, this shit is too funny

 

[Kvik]

I'm going to miss this show.

 

[Kvik]

Finished with Dorohedoro last night. Such a bizarre, violent, chaotic yet excellent mushroom trip. Yet another great MAPPA project.

I'll pick up the manga next month, but this is going to cost me at 23 tankobon volumes.

 

[NarohDethan]

Finished Kaguya sama Season 1. I liked it a lot, too bad season 2 isnt on Crunchy.

 

[Kvik]

Finished Kaguy sama Season 1. I liked it a lot, too bad season 2 isnt on Crunchy.

Btw, Kaguya season 1 OP > Season 2 OP. Don't @ me.

Dorohedoro is amazing and the anime is an excellent adaption - something I didn't expect tbh, but I'm glad I was wrong.
The Muschroom Doom ending is great lol.

We need a second season, the really weird and messed up stuff hasn't even started yet lmao.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

For the new Ghost in the Shell series, is it recommended to catch up on SAC etc?

I've seen them before but it's been ages since I last saw them.

There's a new series? After that disaster called Arise?

Arise looks like a god-tier anime compared to SAC_2045:

God damnit . I take it that the writing it as bad as the visual style?

[AHA-Lambda]

wtf is that?

 

[NarohDethan]

Yes

 

[Swenhir]

I'm pretty sure that's not how a backflip is supposed to be done. Arms straight and all that. Not to mention that it looks kind of gross.

 

[Kvik]

That's an "ABANDON THREAD" reaction .gif if I ever saw one.

 

[Durante]

I just finished watching Dorohedoro.

 

[TheGreenArrow]

Just started watching Death Note. Its pretty good

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I'm sure this is some sort of sacrilege, but I've watched a random selection of 4 Ghibli movies so far from what's on Netflix and I have to say they haven't been all that impressive =/

FWIW, I've so far watched Spirited Away, The Wind Rises, My Neighbor Totoro, and My Neighbors the Yamadas

 

[Hektor]

The best ghibili movie is Princess Mononoke

 

[Knurek]

The best ghibili movie is Princess Mononoke

Kiki Delivery Service and Porco Rosso are great too.
Nausicaa is way better on paper and if I want to watch Laputa, I'll just start another jRPG

 

[Durante]

The best Ghibli movie is Grave of the Fireflies and I never want to see it again in my life.

 

[Knurek]

I thought we were talking about movies, not emotional slasher porn.

 

[ZKenir]

I think I have never watched a ghibli movie/anime in my life

 

[AHA-Lambda]

The best Ghibli movie is Grave of the Fireflies and I never want to see it again in my life.

Actually I forgot about this (probably cos it's not on Netflix for whatever reason?) and yes that is a great and traumatising movie ;_;

 

[Swenhir]

There's no such thing as a best ghibli movie, but I really loved The Castle in the Sky and Mononoke is incredibly powerful. Nausicaa is still my favorite, but Spirited Away really hits subtle notes for me.

Grave of the fireflies I could never get past the first third. Too much for my little heart .

 

[Li Kao]

Spirited Away was like art porn for me. I was mesmerized.

That's how I react to Makoto Shinkai movies.
