    If you have the Adblock extension on chrome you can just choose to not disable ads on kissanime tho. In any case it doesn't actually have ads during the show so it's fine to disable it on there. /a/ prefers kissanime for streaming also, though they hate streaming anyway and much prefer torrenting.

    I've used crunchyroll in the past for watching gintama, I just can't stand the low quality. Never used randomramen before, will check out.

    Should I keep using VLC to watch animu? I don't know many other alternatives tbh

    VLC is a great piece of software if you just need support for multiple codecs. Since I'm using my HTPC + TV combo I use a media center called Kodi. It scrapes the web for all the metadata from my collection, so I have everything displayed nicely with a cover art and description similar to Netflix. Which allows me to sit back and surf through my collection comfortably.

    Crunchyroll is best if you can afford a premium subscription. That unlocks the 1080p ad-free streaming, and access to 'same day' releases.

    this season:

    kiznaiver-

    dropped a while ago, became rlly shitty, pretentious/melodramatic/ill-contrived fuckfestival

    kabaneri-

    awful from the start, even worse than attack on titan, shit, awful, childish, dumb

    jojo-

    idk why they changed josukes voice actor, i only watched first ep, ill binge it in another time

    re;zero-

    decided to pick it back up, on episode 8 or 9 i think-

    emilia-tan was tsundere in the first episode and now she's all deredere-naive shit. idk what they're doing with her character anymore

    rem/ram are qts and their conflict is p cool, but i hope rem doesn't become full on retard for the main character

    subaru is ok, but sometimes he can be preachy and fucking naruto a lot of the time. i feel like they need to develop his personality and whims more

    jojo best this season

    rezero isn't that great and doesnt warrant its MAL rating but its fun enough so far

    edit:

    update, now up to date. pretty weird imo, that witch cult leader guy is one dimensional as fuck so far and typical "insane weirdo!!11" type of villain. feelsbadman for subaru, but hes still a fucking retard. i mean sure anyone would make dumb decisions given his circumstances but fuck, he's 18, he should have the maturity of one, not of an 8 year old. the shit he did for emilia during the queen bs was insanely cringe, and again, maturity of a person 10 years less than his age. idk, i feel like this show can be drastically better with a better protagonist. pacing is also a bit off sometimes, so the thrill and suspense isn't too strong. even so, shows pretty entertaining, i'm anxious to see where it's going

    ps if i was subaru i would leave emilia so hard for rem, jesus christ lad

    second edit:

    now rezero is bad. jesus christ, subaru is god damn awful, and the show tries so hard to be something its clearly not

    its bad, gg, move on

    if you think rezero is a direct improvement from steins gate you are a shitlord, steins gate isn't that phenomenoal but its def better than re;0

    Monster is just something else , I'd rate monster on the same level or even higher then FMA:B.
    If your interested in thriller and realistic crime/suspense series then Monster is the way to go. The plot is very complex and well scripted , cheers for putting it on your list!

    EDIT - Isn't it Japanese animation , not Chinese animation? I'm pretty sure manga's are a Japanese thing.

    Monster is arguably, critically the best show I've ever watched, I agree

    And yeah, it's obvs Japanese, not chinese-that's the joke

    By the way, read Tokyo Ghoul if you havent already, maybe then you'll see why the anime is the abomination it is

    It's a pretty good show only watched maybe 16 eps after 3 years or so of watching it on and off. It's just really slow and the main character has no common sense. He also sounds like he is in pain every time he calls someone's name.

    Yeah, I'm in the middle of reading vagabond. It's phenomenal so far, but I still like Berserk better. A friend of mine likes it better than Berserk though, so it may be different for you as well.
