While I do my best to watch as much anime as possible to maintain/increase my knowledge in that specific geek space, those knowledgable of the genre will tell you that there are some titles that required an insane amount of time in order to watch everything. As a result there’s a segment of anime fans that sometimes become fans of a specific title in order to justify the portion of their lifespan that they had to carve out to watch said title in its entirety. 

(I’m looking at you One Piece and Dragon Ball fans.)

While I don’t have THAT much time normally, the quarantine seemed like a great opportunity to add to this list. Then Animal Crossing and Terrace House happened and my focus and time were absorbed heavily into Netflix and my Nintendo Switch. I’m still on the final season of Terrace House which ends abruptly, but I’m a completionist so I want to finish it. Additionally, this past week’s screen time also got hijacked thanks to Last of Us 2.

Which leads us to “the list”. I cross-referenced this with the last time I posted this (January of 2018) and plugged in a few missing titles. Currently I’ve been bouncing between rewatching Trigun and pushing through season two of Attack on Titan in order to watch the fourth and final season when it allegedly premieres this fall. Additionally, I should get caught up on Castlevania, too. Titles like that were usually what I would watch in flights to conventions and, well, we all know how much time I’ve spent doing that.

Do you know a title that you feel I should watch that isn’t on the list? Comment with suggestions and I’ll add it to the potential queue.
