Manga:
Same as the previous months, GTO and Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha though I have now reached beyond the point where both anime end. I've been enjoying both of these manga a lot, especially with how difficult it is to even find quality manga.
Anime:
I'm almost done with the original version of Space Battleship Yamato and I have to say that I prefer the remake. Why? Quality wise, both are very good, and the remake's changes to the story are small and overall improvements. On the other hand, you do not get to hear the fantastic OP and ED songs by the GOAT of the 1970s, Isao Sasaki, so often as in the original. Or the rest of the very 70s soundtrack. A+
I have finished You're Under Arrest's first TV season. It is a good episodic action-comedy, and what makes it shine is the supporting cast of characters that do give the sense that the protagonists encounter the same people a lot. Which makes sense, considering they patrol a neighbourhood where people live. Strike Man is gonna be living rent free in my head for good. There are few standout episodes, but also the average quality is high, and you will be entertained. B+
Sailor Moon S(hitpost) is so far my favourite season of the series, and they have done so by embracing the weirdness. Good stuff. A | Cardcaptor Sakura is turning into a comfort anime for me. It's got just the right vibes after a stressful day, and a main plot will probably eventually materialise, beyond the gathering of Clow Cards. Even if it doesn't, that's fine. A+
Once again, I have somehow managed to ignore most of seasonals, which is explicitly something I didn't want to do this time around. I have seen E1 of Mao and I thought it was pretty good. I was also interested in Liar Game and saw E1, but a friend of mine and fellow gambling anime enthusiast dislikes what he saw, so idk. Maybe I'll give it a chance.
Live Action:
Having played the surprisingly good Star Trek Voyager video game Across the Unknown, I've got the Star Trek itch again. So, I went and watched... The Orville. And it turns out that Family Guy Trek is by far the closest thing to the 90s era of Star Trek I have seen, and that includes all other post-2005 Trek series, even the homages like Lower Decks. Hell yeah. A+

Actual translated quote from Fujimoto's Da Vinci Magazine interview
Image transcription:
Fujimoto: This might be a reflection of how, not just in Japan but now in the entire world, during the recession, social structures of control and exploitation emerged. However I don't necessarily think that being used is all bad...Consider the Mongol street children. They live in pipes under the streets and fish through trash every day to get anything to eat and afterwards to not use up their little energy all they do is sleep. As long as they continue loving this way, nothing will change, but I can't bring myself to think that's all bad. So when Denji and Pochita are living a similar life together, there are many difficulties but it's not unfortunate. That's how I wanted to depict them.
Bottom panel; excerpt from second to last chapter
Pochita (Disembodied voice): "Unfortunately, you [Denji] must have noticed too. You were far happier starving and suffering, fighting devils and eating spoiled bread in that run-down shack."
Chainsaw Man fans it's over, Tatsuki Fujimoto has come out as Japanese (circa 1940).
I have no idea how this person was able to write Part 1 while holding all of these incoherent worldviews together. It's great to know that while he was writing Denji losing his testicles to human traffickers that he was thinking of the Impoverished Mongolian Child. 
Millions of fans and the only thing he can come up with is to personally shit on each and every one of them for multiple years of serialization. 
(<- This character (Nayuta) has no arc and was quite literally fridged for the male lead's development which is him saying he'll make another family to replace his old one again).
Mangaka Man is NOT one of us, not even close.

my comments
I've never read the novel (high up on my reading list though) but I've heard good things about this story. The novel is already complete and there's a comic adaption apparantly.
The PV seems promising. Very chaotic/creepy/disturbing which I assume is fitting for the kind of story being told.
It seems to be about a guy hallucinating (or is it real hmmm???) the existence of a evil daoist alternate dimension. He can't tell if the evil dimension is real or if our normal world is real.
Kinda reminds me of saya no uta for some reason lol.
Also I know this PV was released 9 months ago ... but 9 months ago I wasn't even into CN webnovels so please forgive me 
I'm kinda excited for this ngl. I don't normally watch much horror stuff so it's good to branch out.
