    I actually did watch Repeat, guess I forgot to add it to MAL. Didn’t like it as much as the first, which deterred me from watching the current season.

    I think I've just seen so many mob movies/shows that it's not bringing a lot of new stuff to the table—and there's too many characters and factions so I never remember who is who lol. I still think it's a good show, but I'll def wait for my judgement til I finish. It may be something that requires multiple watches to get the most out of it as well

    Yeah it only being 12 episodes leads to a pretty fast pacing (given that an average anime season has 24 episodes) and doesn't give many characters much time to breathe but I think it did well telling the story and I personally loved it. But Peaky Blinders or Sopranos probably showed similar scenarios already so I get where you are coming from.

    Well, Black Clover is a decent shounen overall I think, the problem is, that the animation quality is kinda trash in the first 40-50 Episodes. And even after that there're dips in some eps. If you have a lot of freetime give it a try(almost 170 eps till now), it's okay/good, but it isn't in the same league as AoT, Hunter Hunter, Vinland Saga, Parasyte etc and does nothing new. But it has some real likeable characters. And yeah, the openings are fire.

    Yeah I've heard many good things and many bad things about BC. Mostly that it takes the most popular shounen elements and combines it without adding anything new but it still being enjoyable. I just had to ask because that opening might be my favorite one of all you've posted lmao

    What are some of your favorite animated scenes/fights?
    Gotta go with this one. Naruto had mediocre animation most of the time due to the strict release schedule back then, but Sudio Pierrot really nailed the high budget episodes. This is one of my favorite fights oat. The animation is so f---ing crisp and just straight eye candy. The motions are fluid and the fight extremely well choreographed (especially with the flashbacks).
