So I'm re-watching an anime, and while glancing at the lorem ipsum text on the newspaper in this scene, I realized it's in English and talking about the US presidential race. It specifically mentions both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. I thought that was pretty funny. The series is set in WWII by the way, in case you were curious about a time frame.

Just watched episode 3 of Goblin Slayer. This is the best series I've watched so far. I think I'll want to buy it on video when/if they put it on disc. I'm probably going to end up buying the books too.

I'm probably going to end up buying the books too. It will assuredly be on disc. FUNimation/Crunchyroll got it so it will be in a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack probably. I'd expect about 4 months or so after the series ends it will be put up for pre-order.

I was thinking about watching 'Wolf Girl and Black Prince'. I read the description and then watched the intro. I'm not sure exactly what this is going to be, but I'm hoping I didn't just pick some 50 shades of anime meets furry mish mash. Lol. Is this one ok, or should I abort?
Edit: The first episode seemed to give off hints that's where it was going, but then also answered that's not where it was going. Ended up checking wiki to make sure, lol. 7 episodes later-I am liking this one.

Would some of you who watch anime add a recommended list here that I might be able to go through?
I normally use the Crunchyroll app, but I just have the free subscription. The genres on there that I've looked through have been slice of life, romance, comedy and drama. I found one on my own that I liked, but I've come across more that I wasn't interested in. When it comes to anime, I don't know what to be looking out for to avoid or really picking good ones out. I have watched some episodes of some you all recommended on youtube, but I really don't want to be searching on there unless I already have a title.
These are ones I have seen: Recovery of an MMO Junkie ReLife Your Name (movie) Goblin Slayer Wolf Girl and Black Prince

I'm open to more. Those are just what I've searched on there and generally what I would pick with regular movies. I don't like horror, but action and fighting sequences are ok. I like romance, but nothing too over the top.

Those are just what I've searched on there and generally what I would pick with regular movies. I don't like horror, but action and fighting sequences are ok. I like romance, but nothing too over the top. If you want something that will elicit some feels these are some great titles: Angel Beats Little Busters / Little Busters Refrain / Little Busters EX Clannad / Clannad After Story They're all titles from the company Key, and all started as visual novels. Angel Beats is actually the reason I became friends with a couple people while in LA for Anime Expo the first year I went. If I'm being honest all 3 legitimately made me tear up at least once (Clannad did 3 times ). They are listed in the order of their seasons. Some other titles that I think you might enjoy Steins;Gate Plastic Memories Chobits Re:Creators Re:Zero I can give you a short summary of any of the titles if you'd like, or there is always the internet. I also avoided some titles that are set in a High School setting as I believe you said before those don't appeal to you as much. Though literally all of those Key titles are set in high school.

Cool, thanks! I'll have to check these out. I started one last night called: Say "I love you". I'm just a few episodes in, but so far I like it. It's a little more serious than some I've seen, but still some humor.

I wish more stuff was avilable on crunchyroll seems 90% of it is premium only. Still finishing up fairy tail as well as one called Excel Saga that I really like.

Wouldn't be too shocked if every other character has awful voice acting because dubs have almost no investment put into them at all and whatnot but the fact they embraced the meme is fantastic.

I mean, if your voice actors are going to do shitty voice overs anyway you might as well embrace the memes right?

Dumb question, but are there companies from any other countries besides Japan making anime? Nothing against Japanese or anything. It's a nice change at times to hear something other than English. But sometimes it does get tiresome for me to read subtitles. I think I've only watched about three episodes of dubs. Only one sounded good compared to the voices in the series I watched in Japanese. I'd personally like to see more of a variety of people and cultures in anime.
I'm guessing it's out there somewhere. I just haven't found it yet.

I'd personally like to see more of a variety of people and cultures in anime. I'm guessing it's out there somewhere. I just haven't found it yet. There is both Chinese and Korean anime, and even American if you want to include stuff like Avatar the Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra, though the Asian countries seem to be where they mostly originate. Even those made in other countries tend to simply be animated by other countries but still have Japanese voice work. Most dubs are shit btw, you'll find that out quickly. They peaked with the American anime bubble in 2006-07 and have gone downhill since, though quite a few from that era are bad too. There are very few exceptions to the rule, some examples of good dubs being Lucky Star, Evangelion, and Haruhi. They seem to be very low effort products these days, with companies like Sentai simply having shit VAs, or FUNimation using the same 5 voice actors/actresses in every dub. It's kind of like watching an old kung-fu movie dubbed over. It's virtually always better in the original language it was intended for.

I was talking to some people in the anime club on the wot forum about Goblin Slayer. Someone mentioned that it was going the harem route. It does seem like several girls admire him, but I was under the impression he'd always be too busy with eradicating goblins to be involved with any of them. My understanding of what a harem is may also be wrong when it comes to anime. Some of them in the club have given answers that seem correct, but other times I think they're just making crap up. I just wanted to understand if it really is considered a harem in Goblin Slayer if he's not acting romantically with any of them? From my perspective a harem is not the same thing as a few girls liking the same guy.

I just wanted to understand if it really is considered a harem in Goblin Slayer if he's not acting romantically with any of them? From my perspective a harem is not the same thing as a few girls liking the same guy. Generally when referencing a harem in anime, it goes something like this: Multiple girls are pining after a single boy, who almost always is the main character, where he is made as generic as possible to allow for self-insert fantasies. The boy is generally oblivious of the feelings of the girls around him, and the girls each usually fall into a single trope. Tsundere, yandere, imouto, onee-chan etc. Derpy will probably have more insight into this, as I've not read the source material, but I don't think Goblin Slayer is supposed to be that type of show. He has the oblivious factor, but it's not because he's dense, he genuinely doesn't care about a romantic relationship and just want's to slay some fucking goblins. A harem anime doesn't have to focus on the romantic relationships either, as shows like Sword Art Online for example have an overarching story it's trying to tell, but also have 5 girls wanting to bang the main character. If they are genuinely making multiple women pine after him then it could become a similar pseudo-harem show. I haven't seen the newest episode, so all I've seen so far is the elf girl having a new respect for him after killing the ogre, and the priestess has an admiration/maybe crush? on him. Plus, y'know, childhood friend cow-girl is there kinda, though she seems to pity him rather than like him.
