What anime are you watching now?

I've just finished re-watching all three seasons of Yuru Camp again. It's a great series but I'm still not sure if it's a camping show that features cooking of a cookery show that features camping 🙂. Either way the the food the girls cook is (to my very traditional British tastes) very weird 😱.

I'm glad Rin got a biker friend, she needs a bit of company on some of her longer trips.  I see that Nadeshiko has become a train fan, I can't argue with that 😀 🚂

I watched Macross Plus today for the first time in years. For a 30 year old series the artwork and animation is still impressive, the story perhaps not so much, but then the main focus was always on the fighter planes.

Finished season 1 of Delicious in Dungeon & my opinion remains largely unchanged. Majorly over-hyped & will not bother with season 2.

Got caught up on Danmachi V, now just waiting for the final episodes to air.

Plan to finish Girls Band Cry this weekend.

Really enjoying a couple isekai parodies from this season: Akuyaku Reijou Tensei Ojisan & Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru.

Will probably start a re-watch of Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun‘s first season soon so I can binge season 2 when it finishes.

I’m currently watching Vinland Saga—it’s such a masterpiece! The historical setting, intense action, and deep character development have me completely hooked. It’s got this amazing balance of brutal Viking battles and emotional storytelling that keeps me coming back for more.

Just finished Skip and Loafer. Definitely one of my fav seinen media, besides oyasumi pun pun. Now I'm finally starting My Dress-Up Darling, and I really like Gojo's character. He's very plain, but I think I'll order some merch to make an ita bag of him.

I finished watching Girls Band Cry today. I'm not really sure what to make of it. I found it got off to a good if slow start and didn't really think that it lived up to all the hype surrounding it when it was released although it did get better as the story progressed I didn't really feel that I got to know any of the characters and they seemed to spend a lot of their time together arguing and shouting at each other. What music I heard their band play just sounded like a jumbled noise to me. When the singer, Nina, stood on stage telling her life story she reminded me of Tomori in Bang Dream it's My Go. 

I read somewhere that Girls Band Cry was a similar type of franchise to Bang Dream, but I think its got a way to go to be as good as Bang Dream.

i've been rewatching sword art online recently! it's what really got me into anime, so it's been fun to go back to it. definitely a guilty pleasure show of mine

SAO is rather different to what I usually watch, but I quite enjoyed it. I didn't think much of the 2nd half of the 1st series and thought it wasn't nearly as good as the 1st half. I did like the two movies Aria of a Sleepless Night and Aria of Deep Night, the Ordinal Scale movie was quite good too.

I finished rewatching Charlotte yesterday which is an interesting sci-fi series, but I think the ending was a bit rushed and improbable.

Based on the sharpness of the resolution I'm pretty sure I'm watching the remastering. I am correct in assuming nothing was changed, yes? I'd rather not watch a botched job of a classic.

I’ve only seen the new version myself. Comments I’ve seen online seem to be that the new version is truer to the manga in story & tone with better visuals & animation. People who prefer the original seem to have a nostalgic view & say it had a better soundtrack.

I truly appreciate older animation for what it is, but that appears to me as a very welcomed facelift. I've enjoyed the fights a lot so far, and it's interesting to me that the new version would be more manga accurate. Generally these things go in the wrong direction.

We recently subscribed to Crunchyroll and lately have been cycling between Food Wars, City Hunter, Sailor Moon Crystal, Heaven’s Design Team, Space Battleship Tiramisu, Dallos, Desert Punk, Basilisk, and Cyber City Oedo 808

I was also very thrilled  when I discovered that my all-time fave, Planetes, is on there too! So, that’s also in the watchlist ❤️
