April Showers Bring May Flowers (Busu ni Hanataba wo). Wasn’t licensed by anyone in the US while it was airing, but Amazon’s Prime just added all 13 eps. Vey happy I’ll be able to finish this since I enjoyed the eps I managed to find on Youtube 

I can’t stand having anything touch my eyes, just thinking about it makes them water. The doctor has to pry them open if they put drops in for an exam. I could never wear contacts. Absolute hell when an eyelash  gets stuck.

this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Konosuba anime series

Finished Sanda, impressive in a lot of ways, definitely unique, but didn’t really like the note it ended on (especially since a continuation hasn’t been confirmed).

Started watching Fujimoto Tatsuki 17-26. The Chainsaw Man similarities are evident. Actually think I enjoy it more since the episodes are short & self contained, any annoying aspects don’t have time to grate.

Still wrapping up 2025. Finished Touring After The Apocalypse, some nice visuals but not much else. Will finish Gnosia’s first cour but undecided whether I’ll continue beyond. Need to finish Sanda (one of the year’s more interesting titles) & Witch Watch. Then will check out City: The Animation.

Then will probably focus on the new season of shows. Already saw the first 2 eps of JJK Culling Game at the movies & will probably rewatch the prologue special for Fate Strange Fake.

mainstream anime, but older

Fullmetal Alchemist. Both series start out the same, but wind up going different routes. My personal preference  is for Brotherhood which stays truer to the source, but I’ve seen some people say they prefer the original. 
 

Trigun. The original undergoes a pretty dramatic tonal shift around the halfway point, whereas the remake is more serious from the start & they seem to be aiming for a more conclusive ending (2nd season this month).

Rurouni Kenshin. Haven’t watched the original, but enjoying the remake. Continuation in the works.

Fate Zero. Prequel to Fate Stay/Night. Unlimited Blade Works is a darker, more violent take on Stay/Night.

Some newer series with similarities to JJK & CSM: Hell’s Paradise (season 2 this month), Dororo (complete), Dorohedoro (continuation in the works).

Getting current with Gnosia & To Your Eternity season 3, have mixed feelings about both. Planning to check out Sanda soon.

a specific one I can not find anywhere, but is much more current

Assuming you don’t remember it’s name, if you describe it someone may able to identify it for you.

Most recently: A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace 

Currently 65F. They’re predicting it will be in the low 20s by morning

if anyone who likes precure or gundam sees this lemme know your favourite seasons! 

Despite numerous attempts to get into both franchises, I’ve only completed one series from each  Tropical Rouge Pretty Cure (due in no small part to Laura, though I actually like all the cgaracters, including the villains). And MSG: The Witch From Mercury. I did make it half-way through Iron Blooded Orphans & would like to revisit / complete it someday. I also watched a fair bit of Gundam Wing, but don’t remember much since it was close to 25 years ago

Finished Cinderella Gray’s 2nd cour & hoping for a continuation. As I’ve noted before, didn’t get very far in my initial attempt to watch the original Umamusume. But this latest incarnation is most likely my #3 of 2025 (behind MHA Final Season & Dandadan season 2). And yes the next to last episode made me tear up
