    We quit AoT in season 3. Eren constantly crying made me hit a limit.

    Eren sucks so bad and had through most of the series. Literally every other character is leagues better and makes the series worth it so far...

    Honestly Eren's best contribution is as a foil for the rest of the cast, mostly Jean

    Jean is so great. He knows hes scared, he knows hes so tempted to fall in to an easy life. It would be so nice to just stop and live out the rest of his life in comfort. And he laments all that, but still chooses to push on to make a positive difference in the world, terrified the whole time

    It helps he decks Eren every so often

    Eren isn’t my favorite character (probably not even too 5) but there is some real over-the-top slander going on right now

    If anyone thinks I should add any titles to the OP, let me know.

    IF you think any should be removed, make a compelling and concise argument - think an elevator pitch - and I will think about it.

    Why Avatar and Korra don’t count as anime, a complete thesis (spoilered for length)
    I’m just kidding, I don’t care. Here’s a Korrasami family photo for your troubles:

    He has some positive attributes, like his fierce loyalty and love of his friends, and at times seems to be smarter than he lets himself believe. He also absolutely revels in inflicting violence.

    When all his bodyguards died protecting him in the forest, that really validated his psychotic need to take everything onto his own shoulders like in the last season, which didnt lead anywhere good!

    Legend of the galactic heroes is the best anime none of you have watched. If you can tolerate the old art style and slow start up it is unrivaled. You can thank me later

    Caught up to AoT. Some good stuff there. Looking forward to the final “season”. Eren is still the worst and ruins the show.

    MHA though….we’re almost done with season 4 and Midorya is the man. Such a good balance between silly/serious. Big fan.

    Finished season 4 of MHA, being a dad and watching that final Endeavor fight sure made it dusty around here. Pretty great way to end to the season after the main storyline was done 10 episodes ago.

    We’re in the back half of season 5 now. The 3 big guns just joined Endeavor’s agency and Hawks is doing his double/triple agent thing. The Class A v B during the first half was fun. Bakugo just completely destroying his match was awesome. His growth this season is a great little side story.

    What is a good place to stream this stuff? I watched some Dragon Ball Z as a kid with my brother, but we never finished everything. I think Cell was the last bad dude we saw. Wanna finish it out.

    Ad-free and absolutely worth it.

    You’ll find tons of shows that will make DBZ look mediocre by comparison. And that’s coming from somebody who worshipped DBZ as a kid.

    AdBlock works on Crunchyroll if you want to check it out to see if its's worth the $10.

    Last 5 good anime I watched:
    Jujutsu Kaizen
    Stein's Gate - Didn't grab me at first, but after 6 episodes or so it turns, and is now one of my favorites shows of all time
    Ya Boy Kongming
    Katanagatari
    Spy x Family - Good to watch with the gf
