What is it with these miles-long show names? 

I have a suspicion this one is not going to end well either.  You can't just keep raising flags like this and expect something to not go very, very wrong somewhere, somehow.

Yep, as I suspected.  No spoilers from me, but I do recommend skipping this if you don't like the sad ones.

Not currently watching anything, thinking of watching the second season of The Irregular at Magic High School, though.

Fun fact, however, I'm currently reading the manga of Kaguya-sama, which is, uh, already taking over my life, as you can see below.

The Attack on Titan Chronicle movie (seasons 1-3 recap). While it’s a decent enough way to refresh your memory, new viewers really need to watch the actual episodes. Because of the late hour, I’ll wait till tomorrow before tackling episode 1 of the final season which premiered earlier today.

Just watched this. Interesting start as the focus will apparently be on the young recruits of the opposing side of this hellish conflict for awhile before we find out what Eren & company have been up to during the 4 year timeskip. While the change in studios is noticeable, the carnage remains the same.

Akudama Drive episode 11 - finally got the big picture answers & ended on a heck of a cliffhanger for next week’s finale. Will probably still be just my #3 for the season, but has probably earned a place in my top 10 for 2020

Started off 2021 by binging a short ONA series called Youjo Shachou (Cute Executive Ofticer). Ridiculous gimmick as a concept with cheap animation. And I haven’t laughed this much since Asobi Asobase 🤣 Especially with the final skit (shout out to Aggretsuko?) 🤣

Just rediscovered Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress in my crunchy queue.  I'd started (1st 2 eps) it a while back and I'd been meaning to go back but I kept forgetting it as it got pushed down in my queue.  Glad I rediscovered it.  This time I'm gonna make sure I finish it before I get distracted again.  Might be a long night.  :D

There’s a sequel movie on Netflix too, though it didn’t really resolve things IMO. I did enjoy the series for it’s uniqueness (Eastern steampunk coupled with zombie apocalypse)

I do prefer sci-fi but steampunk is close enough.  It's all good.  Anyway, a little zombie now and then is relished by the wisest men*. 

What's to resolve in a zombie movie?  <never mind.. No spoilers!>:(>

Watched the first ep of Wonder Egg Priority. Honestly had no idea what to exoect, but looks to be a surreal psychodrama. A word of warning, traumatic themes like bullying & suicide appear to be key.

Binged the first 8 episodes of Log Horizon’s 2nd season over the weekend.  While I wouldn’t call it bad, I do agree with the general consensus that it’s a step down from season 1.

I kept waiting for it to make its point.  At times it felt almost filler-ish.  Not bad but ... needs another season at least just to bring all the loose ends together and firm up the plot.

In other news, I finished In/Spectre.  I was kind of expecting it to be more a series of different mini-arcs, a-la Natsume's Book of Friends, or Mushishi.  That Nanase arc basically took over the second half .. and not incidentally set it up for future seasons.  I guess I'm ok with that, even if it wasn't what I was expecting/looking for.  I did come around to the Kotoko/Kurou pairing eventually too.  I wasn't too hot on it initially but it kind of grew on me.
