Hello fine people of this lovely community. Like normal, this thread is the place to collect all your random anime thoughts, hot takes, and questions. Some example conversation starters:
- I really liked Rent a Girlfriend and was wondering what to watch next?
- My brain is too smooth to understand Evangelion. ELI5?
- My Neighbor Totoro is a trash movie. Allow me to count the ways…
- Is there any news about a season 2 of Usagi Drop? I really love where the manga goes after the anime and wanted to know when it might get adapted.
As always, remember to be mindful of spoilers. If you want to know more about how to handle spoilers, I wrote a guide for you to reference.
Yes, I would recommend reading the manga instead.
I have watched like 500 episodes and then read like 700 chapters of One Piece. I think content-wise one episode equals one chapter. But in reading the pacing feels way better to me.
Part of that is that dialogue can be read faster than the lines are spoken in the anime and that you can look at the individual panels of fight sequences for however short or long you like.
It takes me like 10 minutes to read a chapter.
