    I'm not familiar with the references in this scene. Care to explain?

    Some funny scenes I like:

    I've watched Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z, One Piece (up to date) and this weekend I started Demon Slayer.

    Many small robots merging together to create some kind of big super robot is a common trope in mecha animes (and other shows like Power Rangers). And I think the voice actor of Franky (the guy with the blue hair and weird build) voiced the main character of an popular 80s mecha anime and used some of his catchphrases during this scene.

    Doflamingo was dope, but it's an anime that moves very slow. Now we're in one of the slowest parts I remember. Haven't seen the g--- in a while, just characters from the past on every episode, it's been like that for a while. Miss Luffy and them.

    RIP Kentaro Miura, creator of one of the greatest fictions of all time. Berserk will forever be my favorite Manga, I mean look at his artwork:

    Finished Demon Slayer and I really like it. I like how things keep moving, there isn't really any filler, at least not so far.

    Seasonal anime shouldn't have any filler because they got enough time and material. Only animes that come out weekly since they started have fillers or slow pacing like OP. Have you watched the movie? You should do it before Demon Slayer season 2 starts because it will pick up where the movie ends

    Just realized I’ve been paying for Crunchyroll for the past 4 months and haven’t watched a single anime episode. Guess it’s time to watch new attack on titan and continue Boruto (trigger warning srry)

    I haven't really been following Zombie Land Saga since I gave up after the 1st couple episodes in the 1st season but I decided to watch the latest episode in the current season since it's about Yugiri's background. I always liked her and this episode asserts that she is 100% waifu

    Just watched the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. Holy f---, that was great and it's only the beginning. Started reading the Manga and boy, first season was nothing in comparison with the later Manga Chapters. Story and Characters imo clearly better than in Demon Slayer, but Ufotable just is too good so it's also epic.

    The anime expands and adds a lot to the manga. Some would call it filler, others would call it additional world building, since the manga is pretty fast paced and doesn't leave much time to explore (for comparison: the Manga only has 58 chapters while the anime already reached 200 episodes). I'd say you definitely have to be a fan of Naruto to watch Boruto. I personally really enjoyed the additional anime exclusive arcs, since for the most part they didn't feel like filler to me (others will disagree), but more like world building and expanding things only mentioned in the manga (for example a fieldtrip to Kirigakure was mentioned briefly in the manga, and was made to a whole arc with the new 7 Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist as the main antagonist in the anime). Some other arcs focus on the side characters, that almost get no screen time in the manga. So if you want to spend more time in the shinobi world I'd recommend you to watch the anime. If you just want to skip to the fast paced action sequences, read the manga. Boruto fights are absolutely phenomenal and got some crazy match ups. The overall animation is kinda underwhelming but they highly step up their game during the important fight sequences. Here is the most recent one, and it's up there with the greatest fights of the whole Naruto franchise:
