Buu, Goku, Baki,
okay so far with the Gainax/Trigger watch
Gurren Lagann: 6.8/10 spectacular visuals, not to crazy about the story or the dialogue, I was actually expecting space travel but got none until the end. The time jump is incredibly confusing, and nothing feels that grounded. Not crazy about the ending. I watched the English dub cause I love Yuri Lowenthal, and he did a great job. Everyone else did great though it is disappointing Hynden Welch couldn't stick around to play Nia. Her voice credits from Starfire to Princess Bubblegum have such an earnestness and wholesomeness to them that when she's changed out for another VA all of that sweetness is somewhat lost. Anyways decent show. Love the eye catches
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt: 8.3/10 incredibly funny, despite how terribly some of its humor has aged, and some questionable joke episodes. Particularly the booger episode and the shrink episode being kind of s***. I believe those were Episode 5 and 10. Despite episodes like that I found the Transformers and Game Show episodes to be absolutely hilarious. The show is jam packed with references from movies to music, and even though some of its approximations of American animation aren't perfect it is a genuine love letter to Western styles. Considering all the lewdness I wasn't surprised the main inspiration was Drawn Together. Probably one of the best English Dub for an Anime, and most appropriate for the source material.
Kill La Kill: 8.7/10
Fanservice overload that works. A really insane premise that is rife with nudity, but also has themes for fascism and of course the Japanese red ribbon of fate with Life Fibers. Though its a very hyper ADHD induced show none of the characters feel overly annoying, and every episode managed to make me laugh. The fanservice even go's beyond just characters and goes into story literally being the plot. There were some questionable decisions with some characters umm particularly Ragyo's odd behavior towards her daughter but the twists is where the fun comes in. Absolutely unnecessary but funny. I love how this show makes up for Gurren Lagann's overly generic "power of friendship" anime trope but this time it feels less like hand-holding and more like an exercise in self-parody. Also this show has quite a bit of techno-babble and though it doesn't matter in terms of what the show is doing it does give a decent sense of believability to what is impossible hilarity, making the explanations even more funny.
Gurren Lagann is better anything Trigger has ever done and nothing close but everyone got their preferences :yeshrug:

I mean saitama clears easily, cause i dont think you can categorize lifting so much that you can one shot enemies as a superpower, he simply trained more than the others

How oshi no ko broadcasting already while still no news about dungeon meshi anime .
Anyhow lets see what the former about, dropped the manga after 2 chapters, s*** was goofy.
Also peeping insomniacs after school, I liked that manga

True but even in the manga/anime they basically said he just did normal strength conditioning

Ohma (top far right) is about the same if it came to straight martial art prowess. I’d say him or Baki cuz they can grapple and throw hands.
Oshi no Ko finally out, been holdin off on reading the manga ever since they announced the anime
Ep1 Spoiler Edit: I was not expecting that s\*\*\* towards the end, thought we were gonna focus on Ai the whole season wtf

Based off their respective mangas Saitama technically would win, but he could lose if it's rounds like a real match before he surpasses them
So Goku, Saitama, Vegeta, and the rest doesn't really matter
Run with the Wind - 9/10
"When you're running, you're running alone, but you're never actually alone"
Run with the wind is an anime both about determination and manhood. All the men in the track team come from different backgrounds and have different motivations, all of them coerced to join the team by Haiji. They all face challenges and achieve impressive results. I'm not a sports anime fan but it's hard not to get caught up in the hype and root for them. It's hard not to get emotional when you see a character struggle and break their own peak. It made me want to get up and run. If Prince can do it I can do it too. And he made me tear tf up.
The relationship between the members of the team is healthy and supportive. You can tell that at one point they all bring their value to the team and are all determined to achieve their goals. Some of the characters develop and grow, the lead one being Kakeru, the only "pro runner" in the team, who was always fast but never supported by his teammates, finally experiences a healthy bond with other men and brings his entire team up with him.
I can talk about this s*** all day like it's One Piece, it's hype. It's dramatic. And it's relatable. A lot of clever things are said even outside the context of running. You start to feel like part of the team.
P.S. Haiji is so gay for Kakeru
