My theory that the reason Rantaro clones keep coming out is just that they're trying to keep the VA guy employed. If you look him up he doesn't really have many roles in other anime and he often appears as a host in the official livestreams, indicating that he has some connections.

Lol, nice investigation. While not off-topic for this thread (Beyblade IS an anime), I think you meant to post this on Random Beyblade Anime and Manga Thoughts. This thread is for discussion on any anime or manga, not just Beyblade. It's in the off-topic forums after all.

Best fight in FMA is Alphonse Vs. Pride & Kimblee. That fight was insane. I don't even know what to say. I LOVED that fight
I'll probly start watching it but not now as exams are coming up.
That fight's an INCREDIBLY close second to me. Fluid animation and huge moment of awesome for Al. I was confused which fight was better, actually.
What anime have you watched except for FMA?

Yes I agree. You can talk about Beyblade Anime, but what you said is more like a Random Beyblade Anime and Manga thoughts thing.

I'm honestly just getting into the medium. The anime I've watched are Pokemon, Doraemon, Shinchan, Beyblade, Digimon (only a few eps and that too long ago), Dragon Ball Z (and maybe five or so of Super), Idaten Jump, City Hunter (before my parents quickly stopped me cuz it was inappropriate), Beelzebub and last addition was FMAB. All but the last 3 were because my friends watched them (tho I'm the only one who watches Beyblade now) and City Hunter was basically me bored and scrolling through TV channels and stumbling on this show with a nice art style lol. So, yeah.

If you're getting into it, then I recommend watching these:
-Houseki no Kuni (Absolutely beautiful animation, might I add.)
-The Devil is a Part-Timer!
-Jojo's Bizarre Adventure series (start from Part 1: Phantom Blood followed by 2: Battle Tendency, 3: Stardust Crusaders, 4: Diamond is Unbreakable then 5: Vento Aureo if we're talking about the anime. If you wanna continue, read the manga in this order 6: Stone Ocean, 7: Steel Ball Run and finally, 8: JoJolion which is still ongoing.)
-Hunter X Hunter
-Black Butler
-Mushibugyou
-Tower of God
-Twin Star Exorcists

The first ep of fruits basket last season is out. I'm happy. 
Modern Big 3 imo (Obviously the series will be good to an extent, however mostly based on the impact the series has had on anime as a whole.)
For reference, what's widely known as the classic Big 3: One Piece, Blech, and Naruto, not in any particular order. But that was like 20 years ago (All those 3 series are no longer in their primes), so everyone figured we'd make a new one. There are endless debates but I think these series have made the biggest impact of Shonen Anime has a whole in recent times. These being (not in any particular order):
My Hero Academia
Demon Slayer
Black Clover
Ok so MHA, a no brainer really. It's immediately enticing to lots of people that don't normally watch anime due to a super hero centered story, and a solid story combined with cool fights made this one sky rocket in popularity. Undeniably one of the most popular Shonen's out there right now.
Demon Slayer, also kind of a no brainer. It's over, however it fits the time frame and still has a lasting impact. It's simple at the base but really unique and the anime is very well done. Definitely one of the most popular Shonen's in the last 5 years, its popularity surpassing One Piece near the final arc.
Black Clover. Ok so you might be like "Oh there are more popular ones out there" like what? Promised Neverland fell off its high horse, Dragon Ball isn't as good as it used to be, this really is the last option. Doesn't mean it's bad though, not at all. The anime initially had lackluster animation leading to people disliking it, however in recent times since around 2019 popularity for this series has skyrocketed and the manga is doing incredibly well.

Yeh, the show is really good even after watching only 1 episode. But I can't wait for the rest. Rather watch all at once.

Finished Chainsaw Man part 1 this morning, great read but I’m also depressed. Highly recommend it but it’s pretty mature in all aspects. I can go in the specifics though.
Gore:
Lots and lots of blood and guts.
Nudity:
Besides some crude humor there’s enough of it to get a warning but they never show a full naked body on screen lol.
Depression rating:
Didn’t cry but all the sadness just went straight to my heart and now I’m extremely depressed.
Easy 9/10, definitely replacing Demon Slayer with it on my modern Big 3 list but as it stands in overall popularity Jujustu Kaisen has an anime so its bigger and would probably gain that spot right now. Both are cool though.

Where's Kaibatsu (Beastars S2 OP) lol
Wild Side was fire but I haven't really been keeping up with Beasters lol. Just listened to it and it's very good, could replace Bloody Stream.
