Went ahead and bought the new bluray collection of the series, since the copy I already owned is the individual dvd releases from ADV Films 20 years ago Since it’s one of my all time favorites, don’t wont to risk losing it to disc rot or it getting pulled from streaming. Would’ve been nice if it had some extra features or better packaging though.

Yeah, I don’t have folks IRL who are into anime either. We don’t have a lot of active members anymore, but hopefully you’ll find things to interest you.

It depends on your sensitivities, but the Fruits Basket remake made me tear up on a regular basis through out it’s 3 year run. Also I remember Figure 17 making me cry at times, especially towards the end.

CR just announced it’s roster for the upcoming Winter 2026 season https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/seasonal-lineup/2025/12/16/winter-anime-2026-crunchyroll

The snow has started to fall & they’re predicting around 6 inches by the time it stops. The biggest issue will be temperatures as they’re predicting it will get to 0F (possibly below) overnight & stay frigid into early next week

Finally finished Racal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus. Honestly had a hard time staying interested in it. I think the next project is supposed to be a movie that wraps up the franchise. Probably a good thing since it seems like they’ve already resolved the major story points.

My Hero Academia Final Season - with the big battle over, looks like the final 3 eps will be dedicated to the aftermath & everyone’s attempts to recover & heal from their physical, psychological & emotional wounds. Even though this week’s episode was named after the Todoroki family, the most meaningful scene for me was between . They’d have to screw things up real bad over the next 2 eps for this not to wind up my Anime Of The Year.

Shortly after 6:00 pm where I live Not supposed to get above freezing for the next couple days with lows in the mid to lower teens (F)

The roads were mainly just wet with a bit of slush, but there was a good 5-6 inches of snow on my porch & car this morning. Not overly cold (around freezing all day) but supposed to be much colder later in the week.

I started watching Umamusume: Road to the Top today & need to show some appreciation for Ayabe (Admire Vega)

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. Recommendations based on titles you mention liking: Takopi’s Original Sin has a lot of similar themes to Dededede, though be advised it can be pretty emotionally traumatizing. Dorohedoro since you like Chainsaw Man. Since you’re also enjoying Tojima Wants To Be a Kamen Rider & have a tokusatsu based avy: SSS. Gridman • SSS.Dynazenon • Fuuto PI • Love After World Domination • Miss Kuroitsu from the Monster Development Department • Mr. Villain’s Day Off

From the Summer 2025 season Fall 2025 season A couple all time favorites ^ The Demon Slayer one had me in tears the first time I heard/saw it. One of the high points of the entire franchise IMO.

Welcome Hope you find things to interest you here. Slayers was one of the earliest anime I watched on VHS (as opposed to the heavily edited/Americanized stuff on syndicated tv). Have watched the first 3 seasons & all the OVA/Movie/Specials (the ones with Naga instead of Gourry). I have the discs for Revolution & Evolution-R, but never got around to watching them ) As far as Sailor Moon baddies, I think Berthier/Bertie/Birdy is my fave.

A bit too depressing to be one of my favorites, but still appreciate it as one of the most impactful & thought provoking anime ever created. Favorite characters would be Hange, Armin & Sasha.
