    One Piece has character development, stories galore, etc

    Solo Leveling is literally “I get stronger every fight” and that’s the gist of it

    Alright. Watched two episodes last night of MHA. Enjoying it more than I thought I would. All-Might is a shell of his former self and Deku has two joints in his pinky toe. And that guy he goes to school with is a dick

    We’ve been debating jumping into Naruto. DBZ is forever the king. But we’ve only experienced one of the One Piece/Naruto/Bleach trinity of anime. Of the post trinity anime’s I don’t think we’ve missed any (MHA, AoT, SL, JJK, K#8, Keiren, Mashle, etc,)

    Please don't compare him to that fucking loser. I will always hate Theon, especially after he tried to turn bad and got what was coming to him for it. Nothing ever made me like that asshole even after he changed. Bakugo is actually pretty smart, they delve into why he is the way he is throughout the anime, but he's a great character. Big Vegeta vibes without the genocidal mass murder arc of his life.

    It’s really damn good. Think I liked frieren more. Really great nominees haven’t had a chance to watch kaiju yet, but wouldn’t have had a problem with frierenx solo Leveling, apothecary diaries, or Dandadan winning it.

    Dan da dan and Frieren>>>>> Solo leveling and I thoroughly enjoyed solo leveling. But if you gave me a choice between those three and told me I couldn’t watch one ever again it would easily be solo leveling. It’s not unique really as much as it’s just a different way to tell, and we’ve all seen before and honestly we’ve seen the story told in that way many times.

    His access to his power is just different from the people around him and that’s what makes it kind of unique, an outlier in a world of clones

    Frieren and Dan Da Dan aren’t like any anime’s I’ve seen before. Frieren primarily because it tells a story AFTER the story an anime is traditionally going to follow and dan da dan because it’s just weird in so many different ways rather just one certain way. Both shows also have vastly more interesting secondary characters than Solo Leveling.

    Yes and yes. The main character is an out of shape middle aged dude with a dad bod. A lot of table setting in S1 but S2 starts soon and I think it’s going to be a banger. Also has a bad ass intro (even though creepy nuts beat it for the award).

    Mashle won funniest. That dumb meathead sure cracks me up. I think Freiren’s dry remarks are pretty funny as well.

    Freiren's whole vibe makes her funny. This all powerful being that just doesn't give an iota of a fuck about anything. Then having these strange swings where she's randomly very emotional, becoming just a straight murderous badass when she's fighting, The issues waking up in the morning, an almost motherly figure for fern and struggling to really try and pull it off but doing her best, The massive emotional confusion about her former friend and her prob being in love with him, the weird obsession with trash calling it treasure when other people just see it as straight-up garbage.

    Just a fantastically strange character. In a show full of fantastically strange characters.
