Its almost been a year, so I felt the need to update what I've watched since then. I've been working and have been involved in organizing three different groupwatches, so I slowed down a bit and couldn't keep my promise of J9 and Robot Romance in 2023 (though there's still two months I guess).
>Bubblegum Crisis
Didn't like it that much honestly. Always been more of a fag at heart, so the women didn't appeal to me.
>Lupin The IIIrd (Pilot Film, S1, Mamo, and Cagliostro)
Absolutely loved S1 and Mamo, Cagliostro was good but I've never liked Miyazaki's style that much.
>Dr. Slump
Completely caught up on Shiteater's release for the series and have watched the first two films. Movie 2 is an absolute classic and one of my favourite things in the medium.
>Saint Seiya (plus Hades and the five movies)
Really didn't like it. A shame since I've always loved Toei longrunners and especially their battle anime (obviously Dragon Ball, but Hokuto no Ken and Kuramada's own Ring ni Kakero are among my favourites). Just found it really dull and boring most of the time, with characters that kind of went nowhere.
>Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin
This didn't much appeal to me either. It's a battle anime with dogs, but I struggle to really relate to the concept on the whole. I appreciate its ambition, and maybe Weed could be better, but something about it never stuck with me.
>Kinnikuman (plus the first movie)
Didn't finish it since the subs aren't finished, but I had already read the manga. This anime is an absolute blast to go through despite some pacing issues, my only issues are how Toei fucks with the manga a lot- completely changes the love interest even. Still great though, classic battle anime.
>Galaxy Express 999 & Adieu
Absolutely loved it, classic in every sense of the word. Not a single episode stuck out to me as bad, and the only real issue was that the movie had some 'recapping the show' type elements, it was obviously a film intended to be paired with the prior film (that I never watched). Hope to go through more Leiji in the future.
>Teito Monogatari
I didn't get it.
>Braiger
The first of the J9 trilogy, and I only finished it today. I really did like what I watched, but it took a decent while to truly get going. Hope the rest of the trilogy just gets better though, as the second half of the show was great.
And these two technically count as both old and new anime
>One Piece
I've passed the episode 300 mark, but the 'classic anime' period ends with the anime original G-8 arc, and honestly, it wasn't that bad. I was never a fan of One Piece, always dropped out around Water Seven when reading the manga, but something about the anime made this all feel like a breeze.
>Detective Conan
Set up a groupwatch for this one, and we're still in the classic era of the show. Just watched movie 1 last week, and based on the schedule we have a long while before it switches to digital.
All in all, a pretty slow year, but still good. Also still have a lot of classic anime to go through.
