I've now finished rewatching Hyouka. This is a really good series about Eru Chitandra, a girl with an insatiable curiosity and seemingly boundless energy and Houtarou Oreki, the guy she harasses to solve the mysteries for her who would rather live a quiet peaceful life. But once Eru utters the phrase "I'm Curious" no one is getting any peace until she has the answers!
The artwork and animation is excellent and the storyline is well paced with the various mysteries well constructed. The characters are also well developed and the interaction between them is very good and provides quite a bit of subtle humour.

Now finished rewatching Golden Time which is a really good Slice of Life romance series, but with an interesting twist in that the main male character has amnesia as a result of an accident and doesn't remember anything of his life before he was 18. The story really has two focus points one being getting on with his new life and new friends the other being the problems he faces when it seems like his old life is coming back. One of the interesting questions the story asks is does memory equal identity.
Overall I enjoyed watching the series. It has good quality artwork and animation, an excellent cast of characters and an interesting storyline.

Thought I'd go for the next season of "The Faraway Paladin".  I've seen the first season but wanted to wait until the second ended before starting it & I'm just now getting to it.


Going off on a tangent re: translations..

Spoiler

I'd originally interpreted "最果てのパラディン" (or "saihate no..." in romaji) as "the last .." since it shares the "sai" kanji with things like "siago" (最後) or "saishu" (最終) both of which I'd previously learned as "last" when I was learning Japanese.  There's also stuff like "saikou" (最高) meaning "best", again using sai to kind of convey a sense taking things to an extreme.  "Saihate" is usually/often translated as "the end", but in the context of the title I figured "the last" worked better.  I'm curious if something like "distant" or "last" might be a closer translation to what the creators of the original Japanese title had in mind.  At any rate, "faraway" does sound a bit awkward as a translation to this native English speaker.  Any Japanese speakers in the audience know where "faraway" might have come from?

I've just finished rewatching The Pet Girl of Sakurasou. Which is a Slice of Life series about a group of high school misfits who live in a rather ramshackle school dormitory called 'Sakura Hall' and it follows the lives and activities of its inhabitants. Now, it has to be said that a few of the early episodes are rather silly, however things do settle down as the series progresses and follows the various residents as they strive to achieve something in their lives. Each of the characters has an interesting personality and the interactions between them are really good.  I  really enjoyed watching this series, it has its silly moments but it also has its fun moments, its sad moments and its serious moments but whatever happens all the members of Sakura Hall are there for each other when times get hard.

Overall, I found this to be a good series.

I've just finished rewatching Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions it's a bit of a crazy series, but good fun to watch. The first series has a slightly more serious storyline than the second but both series and the movie are enjoyable.

I've just rewatched BanG! Dream: It's My Go!!!!! I enjoyed the series more second time round. I think this was because It's My Go is more of a drama story than a band story and as such it revolves more around the interactions between the various characters and watching it a second time I better understood the motivations, manipulations, lies and deceits practised by the various characters in their attempts to get things to go their way.
I still think that having Ave Musica take up the second half of episode 13 didn't really fit in and the band was way too pretentious.

Just caught up on Apothecary Diaries and the characters are written so well. I especially love the main character, Mao Mao, who has an actual personality beyond her love interest, Jinshi. If anything, Jinshi is the one who's obsessed with her. 😆 Least to say, the mysteries were intriguing, art style was pleasant, and characters were written well. Can't wait for the next season.

Today I finished watching Say "I Love You". This is a wholesome little high school Slice of Life romance series, it's got nothing really special about it, it's just a nice little story about two people with very different personalities spending time together and getting to know each other and spending time with their friends.
The various characters have interesting and believable personalities, some are shy and withdrawn, others scheming and a bit manipulative while a couple of them are just annoying but as the series progresses the interactions between them have a lot to say about friendship. While there's nothing in the series that makes it stand out it still manages to be an enjoyable little series.
