So recently I had an anime watch party and we were browsing anime to watch and I came across Pluto. Admittedly I’m only 2 episodes in but so far it’s SO solid. And I’m just surprised I had never heard of it and it came out 3 years ago. Especially since it’s a reimagining of Astroboy and everyone’s heard of that…
Another one I had surprisingly never heard of but so far seems solid is Level E written by Yoshihiro Togashi. My favorite anime is YYH and I loved HxH so how come I hadn’t heard of Level E until now? Again, only 2 episodes in but seems legitimately good and it’s by a wildly successful creator.
What’s an anime you didn’t expect much of because it seems lesser known, but turns out to be very good? I mean like, not only do u like it but ur surprised the general public - casual anime fans aren’t aware of it.
Inuyasha was one of the most popular shows back when I was in middle school. Around when anime first started becoming more accessible in the US via Toonami and Adult Swim. I watched a little bit but didn’t stay up late enough to watch it continuously. I’ve been meaning to finish it.
the FINAL act was super rushed, basically they jammed like 50-100episodes into 25 to finish off the whole series, its still good, but they definitely couldved milked some of the stories more. spoilers, killed off hakudoshi so fast, as was kaguara, and then KIKYO. one of inuyasha new sword abilities is dragon scaled, he barely used through the final part and only specific instances, it seems like an extremely powerful ability against any demon(minus the ones he cant overpower or see like naraku hiding his aura with a magical orb.) and it can trap spirits as well.
i assume you are aware of the “spinoff” its basically sesshoramu with rin. but fans thought it was an odd series because it seems too “groomy”, marrying and siring children with the person you took care of/companion through her childhood.
