Odd Taxi was pretty good. It's not new or anything but I really liked the narrative.

I've recently completed several shows that were in a limbo in my currently watching list.

Fate/Apocrypha - It was a nice action show, especially liked the use of extremely distorted sound effects to portray power. Did not feel connected to any of the characters at all though, there were way too much and the show ended up not giving enough attention to any of them, except maybe Sieg.

Birdie Wing S1- I'm not a golfer, but it was fun, very "anime" show with all the imaginary power-ups and whatnot. Was expecting it to stay on the gambling side of golf for longer than it did, but not complaining. Might watch the second season at some point in time.

Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! - CGDCT/SoL is not really my jam anymore but this one was enjoyable enough, although slightly boring at times and it took me a long time to finish. Didn't have too many running gags, which is good IMO because those get old fast.

Then I've also been watching the new season of Mushoku Tensei. It's really weird. The pacing has felt super off, and every episode somehow relates to Rudeus' dick not functioning. Which, if you ask me, is not a super interesting plot point to base your adventure story around. Will stick to it though, because I trust the story will eventually get back to the quality it was in the first season.

Not quite anime, but I've been watching the one piece live action. Context for the review: I'm up to date on both the manga and the anime. The live action is actually really good. It might even be as good as the anime. It's a bit more realistic and darker, because of more actual deaths happening on screen, but it still has the one piece vibe imo.

The no power fight scenes (zoro, early story nami, etc.) actually look better. But I will concede that the powers and fishmen look worse.

Buggy has had his personality fused with Joker and it's working out surprisingly well. He's become more psychopathic.

Oh yeah, also just finished Farming Life in Another World. More light fanservice than any actual farming, but I loved the spider! I didn't find any of the harem annoying and there wasn't anything outright pervy, so it was fine. It does bother me a bit how emotionally unattached the MC is, especially to his kid.

Also watching Helck, which I went into blind. So far, nothing at all like I expected. Very silly in a good way. The demons are the good guys and the humans bad. Lots of cool powers, and some really cute side characters. In the midst recent episode, some dark things were hinted at, so we will see some serious moments ahead. Really fun so far though, and I look forward to it each week.

Rewatching the same ones I always watch, currently on HunterXHunter for the millionth time.

I'm still watching Gintama, on EP ≈270 currently. Funniest Anime with great story arcs sprinkled in.

Demon slayer season 2, cuz I'm a dumbass and forgot about that series for a while. Oh and Zom100. I love zombie stuff.

One Piece: Just finished Arlong Park a little bit ago. It's my first watch, I just started reading the manga a few months ago and I'm on Water7 in that. Put it off for so long due to how big it was and it didn't look great art wise. It has such great world building and characters though. Great pacing, and I haven't encountered anything I'd call filler so far.

Devil is a Part Timer S2: This is much better so far that the first part of part 2. Love how MgCafe is taken so seriously. Glad we seem to be back to character development. More funny than just part as well.

Ancient Magus Bride S2: The school environment is more exciting than I expected. It's great to see the cat expand too. Seeing more of Elias's quest to feel human is very good and Chise becoming more independent makes it way more interesting to me than season 1. I almost didn't start S2, the premise was great, but I just started getting bored. Season 2 has been much more lively and interesting overall to me.

Sacrificial Princess and the King of Beasts. Im honestly still surprised they didnt coward out and make all the beasts humans with animal ears (with exactly one exception). I'm also surprised they got the "will they wont they" part out of the way fast. Its one of the freshest romance animes ive ever seen.

Recently watched Urusei Yatsura (2022), and so now I'm back watching the 1981 anime series. It's funny how directly To-Love Ru took several of its premises, only to turn them into borderline hentai.

Other than the seasonal anime airing right now I have a couple older shows I have recently finished.

• Lycoris Recoil: Loved this show. Really struck a great balance between action set pieces and some fluffy SOL stuff. Definitely a bit of suspension of disbelief on aspects of the show and some plot point around the Allen Institute aren't super clear, but overall really great show.
• Shimoneta: Really fun, silly, horny show. This show takes everything to 11. The translators must have had a hell of a time translating all the filthy, horny Japanese puns. If you are looking for a madcap, over-the-top comedy that is desperately horny, then you can't do much better than this one.
• The Vision of Escaflowne: Felt like checking out some 90's vintage anime and saw this one recommended a couple times. Overall it was enjoyable, but the story definitely feels a bit dated. I was initially intrigued by the combination of a fantasy setting with the mecha genre, but the fantasy aspects never really factor into things and it is pretty much just straight mecha. I loved the animation in this series...yes, the character models (especially the noses) are kinda weird, but the mecha animation and fight choreography was great. Also, props to the animators for animating a girl running like a human being rather than the way moe girls are often animated these days when they run.

Im watching Psycho pass S2 right now. I watched it before, but forgot everything. But as I'm watching it now I remember seeing it more and more. That's alright though, since I wanted to continue after s2 with all the new stuff. It's good, but it's very difficult remembering all the names of so many people.

I've been rewatching the Fate series, as well as Hibike Euphonium. Seasonally, I'm watching JJK, Zom100 and Undead Murder Farce and dropped 7 Spellblades.

JJK has been a bit underwhelming so far to be honest.

Zom100 is lots of fun, though a shame of all the delays.

Undead Murder Farce was a surprise for me. Enjoying it a lot.

7 spellblades was just boring and imo not that great.

Bungo Stray Dogs. Link Click. And that new isekai anime with Cleric in the title.

I recently finished Spy Family, which I really loved, and then I started another rewatch of Hunter X Hunter and I only have about 20 episodes left. I realized at some point that the guy who wrote it also wrote YuYu Hakusho, another favorite of mine, so I started a rewatch of that too.

My One Piece first watch has been on pause for a bit. I did a hard grind all the way to Dressrosa but I haven’t started the arc yet because I was getting burned out

I am currently finishing the Black Lagoon OVA, I like the way it depicts Okajima's changed character.

I fell off halfway through watching Love is War but I might pick it back up this weekend! Baldurs Gate got its hooks in me
