Off Topic Discussion Megathread

I haven't made much effort to keep up with anime in years. If we go back to classics, I highly recommend Slayers.

Oh you actually reminded me of it, I've been wanting to watch it but keep forgetting lol.

If flashbacks are your fetish then you'll get off almost every episode.

I don't remember it being so bad with that?
There's a couple of them definitely, but they didn't feel like they were just showing me the same thing or were completely pointless.
The flashbacks in Demon Slayer were driving me insane because it was basically the same thing on repeat and lasted way too long, like a super extended monologue.
And in AoT it basically became a meme how it was a death flag and random characters got pointless flashback backstories just to make you '' extra sad '' when they died it felt cheap.

In Claymore the flashbacks that comes to mind is just backstory for the main protagonist and stuff actually happens, they're not just stuck in the same loop.
I remember it being full episodes dedicated to it too, they could as well have been episodes of a prequel.
