Watching the second season of Assassination Classroom. It’s a surprisingly wholesome meditation on teaching wrapped up in a shounen high school story.
Waiting patiently for the next chapter of Berserk.
The wait is real bros.
I’ve been reading chainsaw man as the chapters come out. I’m not sure how to feel about this latest arc though. The next season of the anime is going to be great though.
Reading Chainsaw Man as it’s coming out too. I’m enjoying it, but it doesn’t have the impact the first part had, feel like there’s a reveal/twist that needs to happen to put a lot of things in context.
Yeah I agree. I’m assuming there’s some buildup that’s happening where it will fall into place. There’s some dynamics at play that could be interesting. I’m hoping it pays off at least!
Ayaka-chan wa Hiroko-senpai ni Koishiteru. It’s a Yuri about two office workers who crush on each other, but both of them think the other one is straight
That series took an interesting turn that has me way more invested in it than I thought I would be.
I have started re-reading my Junji Ito books.
Forgot how creepy and weird his stories and art are.
Currently reading Boy’s Abyss and it’s quite the peak soap opera drama. Side effect: feels like you’re losing brain cells while reading
Birdie Wings: Golf Girls Story
It’s an anime about–golf. No, I am not kidding, trust me it’s good, and and it’s very well made considering the sport lol. It’s about two girls who are golf geniuses, and they play golf for the fun of it, but life keeps on getting in the way for our main character Eve. I liked it, and it’s a good comfort anime to watch.
Yeah, it’s amazing. It gets a little less over-the-top in the school arc (and I need to catch up) but even for someone like me who loathes golf irl this is a fun watch __
Got a bunch of shows I need to finish, including Oshi no Ko (a number episodes behind on that). Witch from Mercury was the most recent thing I watched.
It’s been harder keeping up with anime once I got into manga.
There were so many to watch last season that Oshi no Ko got thrown into my “binge at the end of the season” bin. looking forward to it with all the attention it got.
Most recent one I watched was Devils’ Line and before that was Black Butler. Watched it right in time for them to announce the new season lol
I just finished catching back up on Yancha Gal no Anjou-san. I stopped reading manga for awhile after a move and now I’m slowly catching up on all of my series. Not sure what I’m going to pick up next. Might pick up a new series, instead of continuing to burn through my backlog, because why finish something when I can start something new?
I just finished Akebi’s Sailor’s Uniform, it was so wholesome. I intend to read the manga and catch up, as I’ve heard there are some good moments that didn’t have a chance to be animated.
Next, Adachi and Shimamura. After Akebi, I just want to watch some wholesome romance. I am SO looking forward to it.
This season I’m watching Mushoku Tensei season 2, which is absolutely peak, and Jujutsu Kaisen season 2, which I’m VERY excited for. I don’t know what else is coming out this season to look out for? Would love recommendations of upcoming shows to keep an eye on
Mushoku Tensei is amazing. Can’t wait to get more of the story.
Helck’s manga gets RIDONKULOUSLY good, but IDK if the anime will get to the good parts of it. Its kind of a bait and switch fantasy comedy > fantasy action/drama type deal.
Mushoku Tensei hype is real, the OG Isekei is getting an amazing adaption
Mushoku Tensei is so interesting to me just because like, it’s a gross show about a gross person in a cruel world but like, the way it’s rendered just feels correct for that kind of drama for the show? Like rudeus is AWFUL and it’s interesting seeing him thrust into this awful world that he thinks is a dream, and watching him sort of implicitly realize that he’s not going to get much out of a second chance to be someone he’s proud of unless he seizes it. It’s not a show I can recommend really easily but I think that it’s so brilliantly written and I’m always excited for more
Reading: The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady
It’s so wholesome, I love it
I just finished this season’s Rokudo no Onna-tachi, which was criminally slept on because its premise sounds like it could get squicky (it never does). I also watched uh, Yuusha ga Shinda, Mashle (great but not slept on), and also kamikatsu which I plan on never ever telling anyone in real life I watched.
I’m also watching Bleach for the first time in 2023. People baited me into thinking it’d be bad but the soul society arc slapped. We’ll see how the Arrancar arc holds up.
I had a few problems with it, but I thought the Arrancar arc was pretty decent. I won’t say anything else so that I don’t spoil anything for you.
Trying to decide if I should watch the Thousand-Year Blood War arc or not.
I’m more than halfway through Dororo at the moment and finding it hard going TBH. Last time an Anime made me feel like this was the latter half of Born in Abyss :-/
EDIT: forgot to mention that I’m also slowly reading the manga of Bakuon, which has a lot of little bits that didn’t make it into the anime.
