What series are you quarantine binge watching right now?
Just a general thread for those looking for good shows to binge watch during the quarantine in your areas, though in my case it's for my down time when I'm not on front line duty.
I actually recently finished Shield Hero, which was a surprise for me since I generally don't watch Isekai. Gonna be starting... well... My Hero Academia probably tomorrow when I get home from work. That's a lot of episodes, and some of my friends have be bugging me to watch it.

I've rewatched the initial season of Nodame Cantabile, the second season of Saiunkoku Monogatari, and both seasons of 3-gatsu no Lion. In a case of bad timing on my part I decided to watch the 148 episodes of Hunter X Hunter 2011 a few weeks before the quarantine began. I also rewatched all fifty episodes of Kemono no Sou-ja Erin not long ago, so that's not on the list either.
Might need to rewatch Cross Game again since there's no baseball. I also might start watching Uchuu Kyoudai again; I haven't watched that in quite a while.

Recently did New Game and Interspecies Reviewers, as well as part of Vandread (made it through the first season before net problems delayed me long enough to switch series). Currently doing the last arc of DBS and thinking of doing Fairy Tail (have yet to finish that one).

On topic: I'm still watching Shin Sekai Yori, didn't have a too big impact on me as I usually take 4 or 5 days at most in watching a 24-26 episode anime when I'm hooked, meanwhile I watched 3 seasons from The Outer Limits (as proof my signature is the ending of the last ep of the 2nd season) and I still have some episodes of the anime left. PS: I wanted to watch Shield Hero too, but my Plasma TV refused the format and I ended up watching other shows and the anime I just mentioned.

Good choice. I'd go Kimetsu no Yaiba next, it's just too good.
Knowing what I know, I would go with these 2 1st, then the lengthy MHA, but then, you won't be able to eagerly return the recommendations to your friends stating as I just stated that you just watched 2 that were even better than their own recommendation! Bla, bla, long story short, redundantly said: enjoy! @: I've watched the 3th season of MHA 2 times, I forgot where I've left off several months ago and I found out about middle 3rd season that there wasn't made a 4th, so I'm rewatching it! -_-' It's good but just not the best of the best. The best of the best I know by heart only watching them once, like the 2 I just mentioned. I see the 4th season just finished recently... hmm, I should check it out. @@: By the way, I've seen the movie after the 3rd season, it's very good! It's a must see. Honestly Bleach and Naruto movies were not at the same level as the anime as much as I'm concerned (the ones I've seen), but in MHA's case, it's at least the same, if not slightly topping it, which is a rare and great feed for a movie! Shait man, there are 2 movies out! I was talking about the one from 2018 Two Heroes, but there's one last year too Heroes Rising. Well, have to see that one too, obviously!

Well...I don't get to have much time off (in fact I have even less time off now) but if I were going to binge watch it would be Paranoia Agent considering I've had the full series ready to watch for the past two months but just haven't got round to it. I suppose I probably will once this season's delays kick in. In fact, it may be an opportunity for me to work through more of my Watch List

Finished the first 3 seasons of My Hero Academia. I am of the opinion that if the manga doesn't end with Dekuravity and Kamijirou as canon I'ma cut a guy.
Will watch One Punch Man Season 1 before I finish of the remainign season of MHA.

Watched both seasons of Spice and Wolf. I vaguely recall once trying this show and putting it aside, so I decided the quarantine was a good opportunity to give it a second chance. I thought the story was unnecessarily convoluted at times, but the characterizations and voice acting really carried the day.

I am curious if you can stop at S1 and Ur plan will go to schedule. Do tell. If I were a betting man, which I am, my money is on a big fat "NO"!

I don't recommend binge watching that one. It could lead to depression. It's one of those shows that can really get under your skin. Even though I can't think of a second show that manages something like this. Maybe Narutaru, but it's been so long, I've forgotten why I'm terrified of it.

Just watching some recent staff I had no time to watch: Interspecies Revievers, ID: Invaded, Psyho-Pass 3 (+SS movies). I have some older things in PTW but not in the mood for them yet.

I'm rewatching GeGeGe no Kitarou (2018) right now. I skip over some episodes that I know are one-offs, but it's been very rewarding to see how the major themes of the show unfold in the early going. Episode four really sets out some of the main issues in the story, ones that persist up until the end over ninety episodes later. The "Backbeard" arc is coming up soon. Toei's writing staff for this show produced some top-notch work, both in terms of the overall plot structure and in the details of the dialogues.

Bleach oddly enough. Thought I watch it in the mindset of "how to start a story" for writing purposes... and well I'm at episode 9 already
The animation has aged a bit, but god the sound work is a masterpiece and Ichigo and Rukia characterisation is well done. Last edited by DracoS; 2020-05-12 at 17:59. |
