HAL HAL HIIII. I was literally just talking about you this weekend because I have started watching Kyouryuuger and to me Toku always = Hal. sidenote: I really really love Kyouryuuger. And Daiki. And Ucchi. And Ian. uh.

I am so excited for this X-files series oh godddd. but I was stuck on a train coming home last night from NYC so I haven't watched yet.

also also do you Haikyuu at all? Because shounen sports always make me think of you too. Several times I have thought about how you used to say that PoT was a weird shounen example because it does trope things but in a weird way, and I feel like Haikyuu does them in the most stereotypical shounen way but somehow it is the best thing ever.

I never thought anything could make volleyball so suspenseful.

lol it's really good, right? I am so into the rival teams, which to me is the mark of an excellent Shounen anime.

Conversely I was watching KuroBase and half the time when the other team shows up i'm like ugh, not those assholes again.

I'm into some of the rival teams, which is very unusual for me.

Hihihi!!!

I had to watch the second TXF ep in a hotel room and I fell asleep and I haven't been able to rewatch it yet! But I'm sure it was awesome and also that the ending was unresolved. :D

I will check out Kyouryuuger and Haikyuu! I haven't been watching too much anime lately (though I did start rewatching PoT as a winter treat -- still so awesome) and no toku at all, but maybe it's time to get back to more of both. Is there a fandom for Haikyuu? Is it slashy as hell?

yeah, go for Haikyuu for sure. It's super popular in Japan right now and there's a decent amount of fandom for it (as much as anything can have a fandom when everyone insists on using platforms where you can't actually talk to anybody).

But there is a LOT of Archive of Our Own fic, anyway, and fanart and stuff. And yes, like all good shounen animes, there are plenty of ships to be had.

Kyouryuuger's kind of silly but I like all the characters a lot and it's a lot of fun.

Creeping in to second that you should watch Haikyuu :D :D :D it's very reminiscent of Oofuri, imo! I think you'd like it!! (And I'm glad you're so into it too Mousapi!! :DDD)

i'm REALLY into it. i've been reading and watching both week-to-week, which i basically never do. I always wait until I have a bunch of stuff to watch, and I pretty much never read ahead but NOPE. Not this series!

idk how caught up you are so I don't want to spoil you but basically my two favorite teams are about to play and i'm like NOOOOOOO DON'T PLAY EACH OTHER. it's the worst. Shounen anime, why.

and yeah, the main two's relationship is a lot like Oofuri, except without all the weirdo embarrassment of watching Mihashi trying to make friends. Hinata is so much more appealing because he's so happy to have people.

Same!! It's the best is why :D I haven't loved a series like this in a long time :')

I'm all caught up! It is so painful D: D: D:

Okay hdu insult Mihashi in my presence???? But also Hinata is a perfect ball of sunshine and I love him.

oh man tell me when you get to Asahi's backstory because that this is my faaaaaavorite.

I predict you'll like either Kagayama or Tsukishima best maybe? I'm not sure, hmmm. Maybe Noya.

I'm only just watching the OP and already I'm all "THEY'RE DARLING OMG".

I sang the first OP at karaoke last weekend! I love that song.

ohhh yeah you are gonna love it. I've restarted the series like four times with different people and I never get tired of it

Yeah, I watched five episodes in a row and only stopped because I was up too late. More tonight!

But WHY did they put Kouji in the first episode and make me love him and then take him away?

mousapelli February 6 2016, 02:31:54 UTC
yeah it's kind of weird how you start with two of the really important team members missing, but there's plenty of people to get to know anyway. I also like Suga a lot, a lot a lot.

ahaha awww. so you could write adorable backstory about their friendship, that's why XD.

I finished the first season and it was really great! I love them all but my special feelings are reserved for Tsukishima, mostly. Also Take-chan. <3 But they are all darling.

I need to watch some tenipuri next so I can get all the details back for this fic challenge, but I want to get back to Haikyuu soon v soon.
