Hi friends,
Last time I shared about
the snacks that keep our team going. This time, I’d like to share about what some of us are watching in our off time. A lot of us grew up on the staples of Dragonball Z, Ghibli and Pokemon (finally picked up Let’s Go Eevee for the switch). Some of us trekked deeper into a shoujo or shounen genre. One of my staples that I picked up during this time was Fullmetal Alchemist (yes, Brotherhood).

While some people didn’t get the appeal of Japanese animation, the tide has certainly changed today with the advent of internet culture. A few series here and there are practically mainstream and iconic parts of America culture. Here are a few of the series that we’re currently enjoying:
Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin) - It’s not the most recent series to come out, but the story and the exciting fighting scenes make this one a must-mention. One of our favorite characters is Levi, the short but sharp leader of the gang. His fighting technique is neat, for the lack of a better word.
Sword Art Online (Sodo ato Onrain) – This series features a Hunger Games type set-up, except it’s a VR challenge where if you don’t win, you die in real life. The plot is very immersive. It’s already into its 4th season. Like most series, the first one was the best one (nostalgia is a factor, but in this case it’s actually true) The quality bounces back and forth from good to bad on this one, but somehow we’re still watching.
Compulsive Gambler (Kakegurui) – New-ish to Netflix and only one season (can we just say props to Netflix on bringing the anime?) This is more of a guilty pleasure but I’d be remiss if I didn’t include it in my personal recommendations. Let’s just say that I have a lot riding on the success of my March Madness bracket.
Did we mention any of your favorites? Let us know your recommendations! Classics welcome too.
