Discussion Anime Club - Collective Watching "Rurouni Kenshin: Ova - Tsuioku-hen"- #01 Round End

[Erinyes]

Welcome to MH Anime Club !

Many of you wanted an anime version of the manga club, so let's try it !

If you enjoy that format, we will consider alternating.

What is the Anime Club?


This is a place for collective Anime Watching, similarly to Manga club, where we occasionally select series to watchand discuss together. The main goal is to introduce hidden gems, series that we think, deserve more love but aren’t widely known. If you love discovering and sharing underrated animes, this is the place for you !



How does It Work ?

• Anyone can join ! Just comment here, and you’ll be added. You don’t have to suggest a series to participate, If you wish, you can simply watch and discuss with the group.
• Suggestions can include Animes , Anime movies, completed series, ongoing ones. Just please avoid long running animes.
• Each cycle follows four phases: suggestion phase, voting phase, watching phase , and sharing/discussing phase (see details below).
• Try to avoid suggesting animes that already have active discussion threads. Ideally it's better to avoid already widely discussed animes though if one is suggested, we’ll decide whether to include it or ask for a different pick. Because some threads are created, but have close to no discussion.
• When we join, we commit to watch at least the first 3 episodes. You can watch further. Please use spoiler tags until the end of the watching phase.
• Encourage discussion ! When suggesting an anime or a movie, you can share a short message about why you picked it. This helps others decide during the voting phase !

Rotation Schedule
Each round follows a 5 weeks cycle.

Calendar*
* I can adjust the phases, if you wish so.

​

• 1st Week: Suggesting (March 22- March 30)
  Members suggest one series each. If your pick wasn’t selected this time you can either re-suggest it or choose a new one next time.​
• 2nd Week: Selecting (March 31 - April 6)
  A poll with all suggested series will be posted. Short descriptions will be pinned to help with selection.​
• 3rd - 4-6th Week: Watching & Sharing (April 7 - April 27)
  Members have the rest of the month to read at their own pace and share thoughts. Spoiler tags are required until the third week ends.​

odd taxi?

 

[Erinyes]

odd taxi?

Yeah it works, great nomination.




I'm going for Kino no Tabi 2003 (13 episodes)

Synopsis :
Kino no Tabi (2003) is a deep anime that explores the complexities of human nature and societies. The series follows Kino, a traveler, and her talking motorcycle, Hermes, as they explore diverse countries, each with its own unique customs and philosophies. Kino impses herself a rule, she can spend only three days in each location, believing this duration suffices to grasp the culture of the country without becoming too attached.
Each episode (or 2) follows her in a country . The story is very deep, it's all reflections on themes such as freedom, tradition, and the human condition. It's one of my fave anime, and a huge recommendation !

Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens : MAl Synopsis
Although the city of Fukuoka might look relatively peaceful at first glance, in actuality it houses a thriving mixture of dangerous individuals such as killers, detectives, and professional revenge seekers right beneath its surface. Among their number is Zenji Banba, a laidback and observant detective who is investigating the work of other hitmen companies in the area. However, Banba might not be the only one with a bone to pick with these organizations, as Xianming Lin, a crossdressing male hitman in the employ of one such company begins getting fed up with his lack of jobs and pay.

One day, after Lin's current target commits suicide before the hitman could reach him, his company refuses to pay him even half the amount they were originally supposed to for the assassination. Frustrated, Lin requests another mission and is offered the job of taking out Banba, whom his organization believes has been interfering with their business. However, when Banba arrives at his home and finds the hitman inside, Lin surprisingly doesn't even attempt to kill him. Instead, he offers the detective another option: to join him and form a team. With the offer on the table, exactly how will Banba respond, and just what plans does Lin have in store for the underground world of Fukuoka?




Hozuki's coolheadedness :MAl synopsis
Hell is a bureaucracy, and business is running smoother than ever thanks to the demonic efficiency of Hoozuki, chief deputy to Lord Enma, the King of Hell. Whether offering counsel to the Momotarou of Japanese folklore or receiving diplomatic missions from the Judeo-Christian Hell, the demon who runs the show from behind the king's imposing shadow is ready to beat down any challenges coming his way into a bloody pulp. Metaphorically, of course...

The poster boy for micromanagement and armed with negotiation skills worthy of Wall Street, Hoozuki no Reitetsu follows the sadistic and level-headed Hoozuki as he spends his days troubleshooting hell. With an abundance of familiar faces from popular Japanese legends and East Asian mythology working middle management positions, this referential and anachronistic dark comedy brings new meaning to the phrase "employer liability." Just how hard could it be to manage employees from hell, anyway?

 

[Marmalade]

Sounds like fun~ I'll join!

 

[Faust]

Ghibli movies.

 

[SirSamuel016]

Zankyuu no Terror

Zankyuu no Terror

Yikes...

 

[SirSamuel016]

Yikes.

I've been meaning to watch it so I said yolo

 

[Farfalla]

I'll nominate Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen

Even tho people heard of it, I believe not many in here actually watched it and it's so worth it.

When mankind's savagery surpasses his fear of death, there is little hope for those who wish to live honest lives. Beneath a full moon, a young boy witnesses the murder of the bandits who had enslaved him, and is then christened with a new name by the man who rescued him. This boy is Shinta, now known as Kenshin Himura, and he is destined to become a swordsman. The softness of his heart does not befit the occupation, but his desire to protect the innocent is absolute.

Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Kenkaku Romantan - Tsuioku-hen details the origins of the man who would bear the name of Hitokiri Battousai long before he swore his oath not to kill and before he earned his reputation as an assassin. The young man's heart is divided between justice and corruption, while the fate of a nation rests on his actions.

Only one, huh?
