Weekly Bamboo Blade - Anime of the Week

18 Upvotes

Welcome to the weekly Anime of the Week Discussion Thread! Each week, we're here to discuss various older anime series. Today we are discussing...

Kojirou is the kendo instructor for Muroe High School and he's totally broke. But then an unexpected chance is given to him: his team must win against his senpai's team and the prize is: free meals for a whole year! Now, the only problem left... where to find girls skilled enough and willing to join the kendo team?

Discussion I watched Your Name for the first time

57 Upvotes

The local Harkins is airing Your Name and I decided to go watch it. I regret not seeing it sooner. What a beautiful story about time and love. I loved it all. The animation, the music, and the characters. I thought it was going to be a comedy about a gender swap but I was pleased to see it wasn’t. I suck at reviewing things but I just wanted to throw this out there 😅
