https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-03-14/space-battleship-yamato-2205-2-part-film-project-gets-tv-version-in-may/.208747 Hope this gets picked up for US streaming, as Star Blazers (the Americanized version of Space Battleship Yamato) was my intro to anime and I enjoyed the two previous remakes (2199 & 2202)

CR started posting it’s roster for the Spring 2024 season https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/seasonal-lineup/2024/3/13/spring-anime-2024-crunchyroll

The Forgers have competition for most wholesome anime family

Even though I burned out on the Dragonball franchise quite some time ago, there’s no denying the unparalleled influence it had on shonen anime. And am actually curious to check out the upcoming Sand Land anime. As @Otaking66lives mentioned, his distinctive character designs also impacted the video game industry with his work on the Dragon Quest franchise & Chronotrigger (my all-time favorite JRPG). RIP

Put on hold after ep 12 because I let my Hulu subscription lapse in favor of Netflix. Planning to come back to it once the season ends. The world building definitely has some interesting potential.

Just finished the 2nd ep of Ninja Kamui. While the story & characterizations are bare bones, when it comes to fight choreography & animation quality, it delivers what JJK2 frequently lacked.

Hopefully you haven’t already seen some of these & you find something enjoyable Shiki • Paranoia Agent • ID Invaded • Mushishi • Moriarty the Patriot • Kino’s Journey • Haibane Renmei • Boogiepop Phantom• Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina • Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo • Oshi no Ko • Migi & Dali • Odd Taxi

Almost 60F and it’s not even 8 am. But it’s supposed to be barely above freezing when I get off work this evening

Highs in the 60s today & tomorrow with rain. Highs in the 40s to finish the work week.

I’m going to check out Sakamoto Days as part of a badge challenge on MAL

I started that one as well since the “Villainess” sounded like she might be a genderbent version of the MC for Otome Game Sekai wa Mob ni Kibishii Sekai desu which I enjoyed. But as you mentioned she turned out to be a kuudere whereas he enjoyed hamming things up. Shelved Villainess after 4 eps & like yourself, not sure if I’ll resume. Honestly this has been the weakest batch of seasonals since I started streaming 6 or 7 years ago. The best things airing are all carryovers from last season (Frieren, Apothecary Diaries, Shangri La Frontier & Ragna Crimson). Though Himesama "Goumon" no Jikan desu has been a pleasant surprise.

@dhruve661 Sound like When They Cry (Higurashi) https://myanimelist.net/anime/934/Higurashi_no_Naku_Koro_ni

Not actually acquired yet, but https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-02-17/anime-limited-shout-studios-to-release-a-place-further-than-the-universe-anime-on-bd-in-n-america/.207690 Took long enough for a physical release of one of CR’s standout exclusive titles. $85.48 with my CR subscriber discount certainly ain’t cheap, but was actually expecting it to be more given the format

Knuckleheads, assemble !!

I usually start the week with $80 - $100 cash for use at fast food drive thrus, the laundromat, barber, carwash, various purchases less than $15. Try to keep a minimum of $20 on hand. Use a credit card for other inperson purchases (groceries, gas, dine-in restaurants). Use Paypal for most online purchases.

Finished my rewatch. Planning on waiting for season 2 to (almost) end so I can binge it. Currently watching ‘Tis Time for “Torture”, Princess. What you expect What you get

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here & decide to stick around. I’m a fan of a lot of music from the 70s thru the 90s. Have you checked out the new Netflix version? I haven’t yet but plan to soon. I saw Azumanga Daioh listed as one of your favorites. It will always be the first anime to come to mind when someone mentions the SoL genre. Also School Rumble & Yuru (Laidback)Camp. Maybe try the manga Yotsuba, because it’s by the same mangaka as Azumanga Daioh.

Welcome +1 for these ^ Also: Vinland Saga (both seasons) • Fruits Basket (2019-21 version) • My Roommate is a Cat • Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End • Megalo Box & it’s sequel Nomad • Aria (The Animation, The Natural, The Origination & it’s related OVAs, Specials & Movies) • Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken

Highs close to 60F through the weekend, but then back to the 40s & upper 30s next week.
