Manga:
As usual, GTO and Inari Konkon. I have reached another Tomoko arc in GTO, which were always the worst in the anime, because of how mean spirited, and outright ableist it was to her. On the other hand, I am starting to approach the stuff that the Anime didn't include.
Also my God is it terrible to look for interesting manga. r/manga is a place that vastly prefers horny generic slop to actually good writing, and the lack of alternative spaces for nerds baffles me.
Anime:
I have finished The Twelve Kingdoms. It was good. Space Battleship Yamato is a show I have already seen the remake of, and is good in its original version too.
Sailor Moon S is very gay. I knew it had a bit of a reputation, but it's more than I expected. Slightly less gay is Cardcaptor Sakura, another very good magical girl show.
I am almost done with Season 1 of You're Under Arrest!. The most recent arc was a romance one between one of the main cast characters and a newcomer written basically only for the role of being appealing to that one character. Disappointing, but maybe it'll improve now. I'm looking forward to see what the later seasons will bring. I expect the 2001 season to be decent too, at least.
Monogatari: The more Koyomi Araragi is on screen, the worse it gets. Otherwise, it's good or even very good lol
Upcoming Anime
Surprisingly, it looks promising. Witch Hat Atelier has a really highly regarded manga, from what I know. Yomi no Tsugai is by the FMA author, and the manga was okay when I kept up with it. Kinda slow paced. Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun has a new season. That manga was fun, even though I fell behind like 70 chapters. Liar Game is a mid 2000s gambling manga, and is said to be good. I need my Kaiji fix. Akane Banashi is gonna be good. Mao isn't about the Chinese revolution, but is a Rumiko Takahashi manga adaptation. It's probably gonna be decent at least. There's a Fist of the North Star remake. Maybe I'll finally check it out... and eventually go watch the original. Nippon Sangoku has the potential to be toxic slop a la GATE.
and there's bound to be at least one good show I didn't pay attention to, or something promising that bombs hard.
I thought I was watching Steel Ball Run but Netflix has decided to cockblock me.
Other than that I just finished many of last season's anime and here's what I recommend:
Dark Fantasy Setting and a very interesting plot. The first episode was basically a movie and the quality has been consistent since then. The finale was amazing and has me hooked.
The finale was simply amazing. It was pure eye candy and this goes for a lot of this season. The fights in the Culling games are really well written and it only gets better.
This is the ultimate fanservice anime for Fate Fans. A-1 nailed the animation and tone and it's easily on par with Ufotable Fate. Loved the season so far and am looking forward to more. The finale was amazing.
This season was not as good as Season 1 and barely had 2-3 interesting episodes. Didn't enjoy it as much but it was still pretty good.
