I just spotted this at the store. It sounds really interesting. Has anybody seen it? Thoughts?

The Colors Within, from Naoko Yamaha, the director of A Silent Voice, releases to North American theaters January 24th!

For those who like reading and Studio Ghibli movies I made a book club on Fable if anyone is interested in joining! Right now we are starting the book Howl's moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones, this club is a slower paced one so there is no pressure to race through the book. https://fable.sng.link/Ali7l/etuk?_dl=%2Fapp%2Fclubs%2F53a18696-e0f3-4b58-8ff8-52279eb76659&_fallback_redirect=https%3A%2F%2Ffable.co%2Fclub%2Fghibli-book-nook-with-georgie-193088255059&_smtype=3

This show has been one of the biggest surprises for me in a long time. Amazing animation, well developed story, interesting world building, and likable characters. I didn’t hear many people talking about this before it started airing either. Highly recommend people watch this one. 25 episodes and still going.

I've been putting off watching the Digimon Adventure reboot because I read some very unfavorable reviews. If you've watched it, what did you think of it?

I just realized yesterday (despite knowing all the relevant word roots) that the title Neon Genesis Evangelion literally means "New Beginning Gospel." What are some anime titles whose significance took YOU a hot minute to understand?

Angel Beats! has won the vote for #otakuclub selection! Please join me in watching! The date for the live discussion will be posted at a later date.

What classic novel do you think would make a great anime, either movie or show? Personally, I think “The Outsiders” would work well; there’s already stuff like Windbreaker and Tokyo Revengers that focus on young gangs, so think it would translate well to anime.

Just a reminder that the vote for the final (for now) #otakuclub is live, but it only has one suggestion. I've got nothing against Angel Beats, but make your vote count! Thanks, @lyzander_cross for being such a reliable participant to the end!

I'm not trying to spam posts today, but I've just learned that the official trailer for the Dragon Ball DAIMA dub has been posted. If you have any love for Dragon Ball, then I'd advise you to watch this show, because I think it might be the best Dragon Ball, yet!

Beloved tearjerker A Silent Voice: The Movie returns to theaters in the USA December 15th and 16th! Dubbed and subtitled showings will both be available.

Watch it. Then cry. Then process. Then cry again. Just watch it please.

Does anyone know why the first three seasons of the original Tenchi Muyo series (AKA Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki) are so hard to find? A single season seems to be 60 dollars used online, and no one's streaming them through subscription or purchase. In my experience, that usually occurs when rights are shared among parties who can't or won't collaborate, but I can't find anything about that.

I think it's about time we discussed our most recent #otakuclub selection, Anne of Green Gables!

Has anyone else watched Mieruko-chan? Or has anyone read the source webcomic? Would you watch a second season? What did you like? What fell flat?

The anime adaptation of Anne of Green Gables won the #otakuclub vote! This one seems elusive, so I'll let you know once I've figured out how I'm going to watch it, in case it ends up helping you. Please join me in watching and discussing. Thanks! And a special thanks to @lyzander_cross for making the initial suggestion and to @awesome_user_Julz for helping me work around our technical difficulties!

I'm trying to count the #otakuclub votes, but I can't get into the Ask to count. Can someone please access the ask and comment on this discussion what had the most votes, how many, and who suggested it? If there's a tie, then please let me know all the details of the tied works. Thank you!

So I will preface this by saying, I JUST heard about this. It was from a YouTube video. I have not confirmed or researched any of this yet. There is a man, who apparently is a voice actor for Crunchyroll, making some interesting allegations against them. He posted on Twitter that nothing sent to him from fans in the past 5 years has reached him due to "Crunchyroll" opening packages sent to him, throwing away letters, and giving the contents to Crunchyroll employees. His name is David Wald.

It's time for our #otakuclub discussion of Ranma 1/2! What did you think of this classic comedy anime?
