Just remember AoT has two parts in Season 3. I got confused while starting S04. :scratchchin:

 

Yes its split. 21 episodes total. First arc is 'The True King' arc and then 'The Return to Shiganshina' arc. The latter contains some of my favourite eps in AOT

Saw 2 episodes. So f**king good. I'm glued to my screen. The 20 mins just flies by. 

 

The first two of S1? I know righttt!!!

And this is a rewatch for you after ages? Man I wish I could forget it and watch it all over again. 

 

Season 4 currently airing, waiting for the next episode on Sunday. But S3 Part 2 ends so f**king strong its borderline unbelievable. 

The way the whole jigsaw fits together is just pure japani genius. 

 

I binged S1-S3, you can do that too. And you'll have at least 7 episodes of Season 4 to watch. Max wait for a week for Episode 8, after which it goes on break. So you're good.

Watching directly from S2. 

 

Oh wow. I hope you remember S1 details then? Like cuz thats really important. Like even small names or places are important. 

 

Some epic sh*t in this season, including the reveal where basically the entire fandom lost their f**king minds.

I watched a video recap and read a summary on reddit. Rewatching the whole of S1 is quite the big time investment. Should I really?

In all honesty, yes. Its not a drag, its pretty good tbh. 

 

I know its quite a bit, but even the tiniest things have so much relevance that it'll really change your viewing experience of S2 and S3. 

 

If you can, just watch it. Put it on 1.25x speed if you really want to go faster, but it'll pay off rewatching S1 in my opinion.

After finishing Haikyuu, wanted to watch something Sports/Alice of Life. Watched this on Netflix

Kaze Ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru or Run With the Wind (English Name on Netflix)

 

Man this anime is so damn amazing. First things first, the story and slice of life aspects are set in college instead of the usual High School. This instantly makes it better than 99.9% of the animes out there. So fun to see people actually rooming in a dorm, partying, smoking and then trying to give up cigs, job hunting, romance plus doing extra curricular activities all with the freedom of college.

 

The actual story is also really good. Unlike most shows, there is no super- human techniques. No guaranteed wins either. It's a pure running, marathon sport show, which starts right from the beginning of making unfit people get into jogging and then slowly improving them, all set with absolutely amazing voice-work and fantastic music.

 

The animation in the show is also absolutely impressive.

 

Some examples:

The screenshots though don't do it justice. It looks far better in motion. The anime is also "Complete". It's not based on a manga or light novel, but rather on a proper, full novel released in 2006. The story ends when the last episode ends. Run with the Wind is reviewed highly getting 8.46 on MyAnimeList. Highly recommend you guys to watch it.

@roun90Finished Haikyuu 2 nights ago, needed something to fill the void. Will watch this 100%. 

Dude on the right looked liked a Kageyama clone lol, this'll be fun.

 

A grown up version, but only a little bit. TBH Kageyama's and Kurahara's (The guy on the right) design is very common. Generic "Cool" Japanese guy. The more interesting clone was this -

This guy looks like a Thin, starving, younger version of this

Seriously, Fujioka can literally change his name at the registry and do body building - he will literally become a clone of Kazuma Kiryu in some years lol 

 

The second was this:

Yeah it does happen more than once in S2, but it'll come together later in Season 3. 

I'd recommend binging S3 and whatever is out in S4.

@roun90 Run with the wind is an absolute masterclass of a show. I honestly can't believe how much of human drama was in the show. Every single sub character motivation was so perfectly conveyed through the show.

Spoiler

 

genuinely this video one of the best moments i have seen in a recent anime and the best part is by itself the scene it's nothing special  but the build up to it over 14 episodes is just so cathartic.

the second one is one of the best done reveals ever

 

 

I'd say the second one is one of the greatest anime moments OF ALL TIME

My f**king god it blew my brains off when I watched it. And its not just surprise factor. It all makes sense by the end of S3.
