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.

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.

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

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. 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

The caveats / disclaimers that should be attached to all my posts

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. First anime? I’ve always considered it to be Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato) back in the late 70s early 80s, even though some say it doesn’t count since it was heavily edited & Americanized. Started watching more “authentic” anime in the mid 90s with titles like Ranma 1/2, Tenchi Muyo, Project A-ko & Slayers (all English dubbed). My first Japanese audio title was Cardcaptor Sakura, though I’d previously bought some subtitled Slayers VHS tapes because I couldn’t find dubbed. Converted to Japanese audio / English subtitled almost exclusively when I started buying DVDs & Blurays. Started using streaming services to watch around 10 years ago. Just post / comment on any topics that interest you, maybe even create some topics of your own if you think they might spark interest. Though I think they don’t allow linking to pirate streaming sites (not talking about One Piece ) Hopefully this will put your mind at ease about rambling, the more activity the better actually

^ I actually enjoyed the Red Ranger isekai, wish it would get another season ^ Grieving Souls can be sorta funny sometimes (kinda like Irresponsible Captain Tylor , but in a fantasy setting), but honestly the waifus are it’s best feature.

Finished May I Ask For One Final Thing. Starting out I thought it would be one of the season’s best, but wound up pretty average. Even the reveal about the main antagonist didn’t really amount to anything. Spy x Family season 3 - this closing arc has been one of the series best. One more episode to go.
