Demon Slayer won it?

I mean it's an ok anime but it felt lacking. There's a lot better in my opinion. If anything Violet Evergarden would be my choice to win that stuff.
Looked at the rest and saw Konosuba winning best isekai. *sighs*

personally I think One Piece shoulda won it. Easily one of the beat stories in anime.

But no, we have to have all of the anime genres I despise win awards(I legit hate the trend of anime Isekai because of how many there are and most of them aren’t super interesting anyway.)

Alright folks. I'm looking for a few Pokemon to trade for.

Croagunk, Sableye, Oranguru, Drampa, Spritzee

I will trade pretty much anything for them. Just be a little reasonable.

Just quoting this because it got bottom paged.

I will trade some 5IV Pokemon for them as well.

Have to both agree and disagree with on the Isekai bit. While I do agree that it has seriously became saturated and most don't need any hint of another world aspect (Rising of the Shield Hero, Overlord) or are seriously not using the Isekai part great enough (Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, Saga of Tanya the Evil).

However I do think when Isekai gets good, they become really amazing. Reincarnated as a Slime, Konosuba and if you took out the fanservice, No Game No Life for example.
As what I would my favourite isekai show is, it's Re;Zero. One of only four anime has truly impressed me and would at least 9/10.

Until there is an anime story that has something like guy gets summoned to a fantasy world and is allowed to back to Earth for a bit, only for World War III to occur while he was away, I don't think Isekai is going to impress me again after the few I mentioned.

i literally dislike every anime you mentioned there.

These days there aren’t any anime that interest me(outside of the occasinal obscure card game anime from years agos) so I don’t even bother with anime anymore.

always feel like I’m an outcast in the greater community, but considering my tastes, makes sense

What about slice of life or even action, not even into those?

nada, nothing.

The only kinda anime I like is ones with odd stories, not odd premises.

SAO, One Piece, Jojo(specifically part 3 onward) those are the kinda anime I like.

If you're not averse to older anime then 'Aura Battler Dunbine' (1983, 49 episodes) might be something to look into as the broad outline of it's story is extremely similar to your hypothetical synopsis (like it's borderline word-for-word the same), it's generally regarded as a classic in mecha-anime devotee circles but sees scant attention outside it (of course that may be down to its age). Funnily enough the series wasn't particularly popular when it first aired as the Japanese audiences of the time were rather turned off by its isekai elements (oh the irony...).

Are these all Shield exclusives? If you're just looking to fill in the dex/aren't worried about IVs/Natures etc then I can potentially trade over a few of these (I think I have a Spritzee and Maybe a Croagunk) - though it'll probably have to wait a few hours

If there's one thing that I wish that the Switch had right about now, it's an "Update All" feature. I decided to check and see if any of my games had updates that I hadn't installed (as it turned out, there were four of them - I'm not sure what changes were made to Astral Chain, Splatoon 2, or Blaster Master Zero, but Blaster Master Zero 2 had added a new playable character), and it's such a pain to go through each game individually and check to see if they have any updates, only to find out that there's nothing.

If I could pick a second thing, it would be themes; I get that the Switch's menu being simple and clean can be appealing, but it would be great to be able to have themes inspired by games like Super Mario Bros., Kirby Super Star, Persona 5, etc. They have an entire menu for themes, but the only options are "basic white" and "basic black".

Watched the first two episodes about a month ago and enjoyed it. Really going to go back into it at some point.
As for my favourite anime there is four tied.

Kino's Journey (2017)
A Place Further Than The Universe
Violet Evergarden
Re; Zero - Starting Life in Another World (Season 2 is my most hyped thing now)

Those four I would give 9.5/10 personally at least.

I like dbz alot too but some of that comes from nostalgia I think. The story after Frieza got pretty silly at times.

One Piece; I've been following the series weekly (well, the manga, but I'd say it still counts) for over ten years now, and it's a great mix of action, comedy, and storytelling that hasn't gone downhill in all of that time. (most long-running anime series seem to go downhill at some point)

I feel like I should branch out, though; I've mainly been following action series, with most of them being from Shonen Jump. (Dragon Ball, Naruto, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Fist of the North Star, My Hero Academia, Eyeshield 21, Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo, etc.) The few big exceptions for me have been Digimon, One Punch Man (still a Shueisha series, but not a weekly one), and Fairy Tail.

Some of those are very long though and that's the only problem I do have with anime as I know some are based off manga/web or light novels and risk overstaying their welcome. It makes me worry about the production quality sometimes.

The reason why I like A Place Further The Universe for example so much is because the story felt right for its length. I'd recommend it if you want a good coming of age story.

And Kino's Journey I'd recommend as well as it's pretty much just a set of short stories without many connections to each other, kinda like parables. It's the commentary on the topics and the life the main character lives is why I also value it so highly.

I think out of these I have oranguru, drampa, and maybe aromatise. I’m not Online atm but if there’s anything from those your missing after gyro I should be on later.

Have to get some work done, because I’m hoping to shiny hunt slowpoke with good ivs tonight. At least the setup for it so I can hunt.

I got shiny galarian farfetch’d last night in 105 eggs so that was pretty cool.

I'm seeing a good bit of One Piece and FMA. Damn.

Anyone still watching anime, like in the past week or so? I finished watching Fire Force the other say and watching the Re;Zero Director's Cut as well. Kaguya-sama or New Game! is probably next, being into slice of life.

Real men shiny hunt without any girly charms.

Also because I'm too lazy to find someone who's willing to trade me a Zamazenta without the GTS.
