The first series had better art and direction on top of the OST, which is part of what you're talking about and I think some its original changes work better in these early arcs. Like in the original story it kind of relies on Kaoru being so lonely and down and out to create their connection while in old anime it felt like the two really hit it off. The new anime has made a few odd changes too like removing Kenshin's Doryuusen. The new art feels changed to how Kenshin is drawn now (and there's a lot more saturation compared to the old anime's water color-y cel animation), while I actually liked how Watsuki used to draw with thinner lines. I think the new anime has better animation where it matter as well as better effects (which make stuff like the fire in the recent ep look good) which are points in its favor.

Overall with the new anime I'm not really a fan of the thick outline style, which more closely resembles Watsuki's current art. You can also see how it alters some bits about Aoshi, like making him less of an adult bishounen, which kind of goes against my impression of him. After all the original episode Kenshin he's fought in is literally called "Aoshi, the Man who is so Beautiful that it's Frightening" or something. That title stuck with me for some reason. I'm also not a fan of the official manga colors for Han'nya which is what they went with here. I guess his stripes are meant to be garish though.

I watched Bastard!'s latest season around when it came out. I'll probably take a break on Conan to watch Baki and then we'll see. I'm almost out of remastered episodes, which is unfortunate, but at least they existed for me at this point in time. It's a pretty recent thing.

I never kept a MAL for a long time, but close to the end of 2021 I kind of decided on a whim to just try and enter everything I could, more for the sake of potential recommendations more than anything. Ironically I get the shows I watch the same way as always, which is by doing research.

Then you're missing out. I also stopped with the anime when the original dub stopped but Pokemon has always continued and the likes of DP and XY are great watches with SM being good with some caveats as well. I started watching XY along when it aired back in 2013 I think it was and then retroactively got into the older content. Even the 2019 series managed to at least finish the big final battle on a very high note. I don't come into an anime looking for flaws. I simply experience it and see what my impressions are. As it currently stands 2023 is lacking weight or a compelling direction beyond vague legendary mysteries and the cast lacks charisma. They might as well not replace Ash if they don't have anything comparable or better to replace him with. They've had many years to consider where to take the franchise afterwards.

If you keep watching then it adds up. Once this season ends I should be hitting 2400 completed.

That's funny to hear me as a Pokemon anime hater. Dude it was my first anime and I still love the better parts of the original to this day. The problem here is that they didn't replace it with something worthwhile. There's always cast songs and they've been ass lately since most of them lately haven't been sung by Rica Matsumoto who is an actual singer. Why should I care if Roy and Liko rap some low tier song? They aren't flexible at all. Liko has just this side of zero motivation for anything and has to be on some kind of crazy air ship receiving constant encouragement to even consider doing anything. Roy is just some retarded kid who happened to find a GS ball equivalent and gets rewarded for retardation such as his gym battle (probably the best ep despite that). Freide is an arrogant jobber. Dot is a boring weirdo. The others on the ship barely have a personality to note. Yeah I said Captain Pikachu is cool. That's it. Freide in his own story isn't and the fact that the air...

Gohands are a weird studio where their shit either works weirdly well or absolutely does not. The first ep started off uncannily, but I think they've recovered since.

You mean Suki na Ko Megane wo Wasureta? Yeah I am. The girl is cute but the premise wore off overly quickly because she just comes off as a retard after the first time or two. Even idiots won't not realize that they can't see correctly.

It depends on what you're into. Ask me in the chat and we can discuss in detail.

How is JC Staff new? They're clearly just doing a different type of compositing (similar in some ways to what you see in Sword Art Online from its movie onward) with some effort thrown in here and there like with the Garuda fight.

I think an interesting aspect to that whole thing is that he is who he betrays himself as. He's for the most part as skilled as he says and he's not hiding a secret personality, but he's just also involved in that .

I'm not sure how it's getting so much praise honestly. I feel like fans wanted not-Ash for so long that they're just happy with any slop. The production values are fine, but the characters besides Captain Pikachu and MAYBE the villains all suck and it's a nothing burger of an adventure with two protags that make early anime Ash look like an amazing trainer.

It's okay. I think the first episode left a pretty whatever impression but it's been improving since then and it's one of those rare few JC Staff anime where they're clearly putting a bit more effort into the visuals and production values, which is nice to see. The content kind of feels like Hogwarts in Nasuverse. I'd call it above average for now.

I'm watching it and it's garbage thus far.

Uhhhhhhhhhh *counts* like 46-ish shows depending on how you count stuff it might be more. The show I'm catching up on now is Detective Conan which is currently airing as well.
