That is the first negative 'review' I got to this anime. All people I asked for were delighted with Vinland Saga.

I have been watching it, yes, though I'm not quite up to date anymore. It's been a decent enough romance series so far, with especially nice animation.

I usually like to binge my series but I timed this wrong as the last two episodes come out tomorrow and then next week.

I liked Spy x Family. Nice and light but easy to watch. Haha I binge shows far too much. Easier when the episodes are only like 20-24 minutes long.

It is easier to be binge when the numbers of episodes is as small as possible. Sakamoto Days with 11 episodes so far counts to it. Could be that I start with this anime.

Sakamoto Days is at 11 episodes so far. Is there a source in internet that announces a sequel?

So it is ongoing! better to begin with the episodes as soon as possible.

The first three episodes to Sakamoto Days are done and I intend to continue with number four and five at night.

@AngryJellyfish feel free to tell me which anime you currently watch.

@AngryJellyfish feel free to tell me which anime you currently watch.

My full lists are available on Anime-Planet and Anilist!

But in terms of highlights, I'm finally watching Bleach... which was okay up until the first big filler arc (Bount arc), now I'm struggling to keep myself motivated to continue. :colondollar:

Nice to have One Piece back on my list too, now that the new episodes have resumed after a long break! I'm also watching a couple of series from 2005, to celebrate my 20th year of anime being my main hobby - firstly, Xenosaga has been a great sci-fi series so far, I'm surprised I hadn't come across it earlier. Secondly, the 2005 adaptation of Glass Mask features one of my all-time favourite characters in Kitajima Maya; it's nowhere near as good as the earlier 1984 anime, though it is at least longer, so I'll get to see more of her story.

Most of the rest are the new series whose first episodes I've covered in my spring preview thread (which I'm not done with, more first impressions to come this weekend!), and a few stragglers from last season that I haven't had time to finish.

Certainly, I love Nichijou! :biggrin:

My main suggestions would be Azumanga Daioh or Lucky Star, they really have the same vibe, but neither is available for legal streaming in the UK at the moment *to my knowledge*. :frown:

So in case that's an issue, here's a few other ideas:

Teekyuu - Short episodes, but a lot of them. Very hyper. (Crunchyroll)
Tonari no Seki-kun - Also short, but a lot less hyper, and adorably cute. (Crunchyroll)
Dropkick on My Devil! - Warning for over-the-top slapstick violence in this one, but with no lasting impacts on the characters. (Crunchyroll)

And lastly, this doesn't air for another three months unfortunately, but the manga CITY from the creator of Nichijou is getting an anime adaptation this July! :biggrin:

So something to look forward to in the summer.

Thank you! I think you can watch azumanga and lucky star on YouTube, I’ve watched a little bit of both from there :biggrin:

I’ll have a look at all the other ones you recommended too! I’m excited for CITY’s adaptation, I’m hoping for a crossover between the new cast and the original one, not sure how slim the chances are though!
