Started watching Revolutionary Girl Utena, and holy shit Chuchu is FUCKING ADORABLE! Up there with Pochita from Chainsaw Man.

Who is your cutest anime animal? Bonus points if that anime is also really good.

I hear OP is great (heh), but arent there like 1000 episodes? Where would I start if I wanted to give it a shot?

I would recommend reading it. It is way better paced. It took me like 3 months to read while the Anime took me like a year to get halfway. Also the manga atm is peak and getting better and better.

The manga is way better paced for sure, and the anime pacing gets almost literally unwatchable ~700 episodes in. I do love the Japanese voice cast though, and there are moments I'd definitely recommend finding and watching the adaptations of once you've read them. You'll know them when you see them

If the length ever feels like a drag you can always take breaks after an arc, though I do recommend people first watch or read to the end of the East Blue saga at least (50ish episodes or 100ish chapters) so they can get a feel for when OP really starts hitting its stride

The East Blue saga is episodes 1 to 50? I might do that after my current watch

[–] KimJongFun@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

1-53 to be exact. Incidentally, OP also has a bunch of small filler arcs that are very skippable, the first one starting right after that in episode 54

Thanks! I'll give that a go!
