Just created this thread for some anticipation regarding the upcoming anime this summer cuz why naut :P

Also, iirc this anime is based on a very old manga. And the plot is all about the Teenage guy called Ash Lynx who is a young gangster. And yeah, Studio MAPPA will animate it. So anyone hyped with this anime?

Goes a bit turbo in the middle, but is otherwise a pretty well-done pilot. The choreography of the bar fight is pretty top-notch.

I'm interested, but I'm hesitant to watch it because the villain's actions might be too much for me. How graphic does it get?

still cringe, just slightly better at hiding it

Alright... just saw the first episode... it was interesting to say at least. and I heard that this will be 24 episodes instead of 12 which is actually pretty nice and there are some modern world day gadgets in here despite being an old manga like Parasyte..Yep, I really like it when an old manga tries to adapt to the modern day world :3

Welp...i think i just read the manga of banana fish... and yeah, after reading it and rewatching the first episode... I can see why this anime is rather fast paced. The first episode itself covers chapter 1,chapter 2 and half of the chapter 3 in volume one which I kid you not.... It's pretty long as hell for the third chapter. So yeah, I can't wait to see how they will adapt the rest of the chapter 3 of volume one and the entirety of volume 2 (which will be long as hell)

The first half was somewhat choppy but the latter half saw the pieces come together rather nicely, so I'm willing to forgive the pacing.

There's not too much violence in this first episode but it'll probably ramp up in later episodes.

If they keep up the pace of ~60% of a manga volume each episode, they should cover just about the whole thing

[up] I think so...Iirc, I felt that MAPPA will adapt all the 24 volumes so that's something to consider

Just finished the second episode...Well, there are several scenes that got cut from the manga but is rather understandable since the manga itself is a bit too long. And my feelings were right, Episode 2 covers the second half of the 3rd chapter of volume one and the first half of the Volume 2 (Which is pretty long if you ask me)

And just saw the third episode even if I'm late:

Yoai element is a bit strong in here. And Max Lobo is an interesting comic-relief although he does have his own flashbacks regarding him befreinding Ash's brother

Just saw Episode 4 and also read the manga which episode is based on:

Despite some of the changes from the manga such as Garvey becoming a cellmate with Ash after Lobo's moving out changed into one of his cronies that ended up being with Ash, I still kind of find the episode to be a bit decent. And man, the witness of the Banana Fish died already...That's sucks :/ Poor Ash though. And it's a bit obvious that cowardly guy with glasses is the guy who created Banana Fish so yeah...

It may not be a yoai, but it’s totally a yaoi. Or BL, at least.

What's precedent ever done for us?
