Started watching Tiger & Bunny to determine if season 2 was worth checking out. There are some similarities to One Punch Man & Super Crooks, but so far I’m liking this one better.

A new episode of Dragon Maid just went up on Crunchyroll.

Also a series called The Last Summoner https://myanimelist.net/anime/41915/Zuihou_de_Zhaohuan_Shi which I know nothing about (though the harem tag makes me apprehensive as it’s the genre that’s aged the worst for me)
 

Will check them out when I get home tonight.

I've just finished Madoka Magica and the movie.


The TV series is excellent.


The Rebellion move rather less so. I think they vastly overdid the surreal graphics (have they not heard the saying "less is more"?). I think it would have been a far better movie if they'd concentrated more on clearly telling the story rather than all the weird graphics. But I guess that's what happens when you let a production team go for maximum visual impact rather than story development. The term "style over substance" comes to mind.

I don't really see the point of the movie, unless it's extract a bit more cash from the franchise, because the TV series has quite a conclusive finale.

I think the film is a character story focused on Homura and her development exiting the true nature of her wish and why she made it. At least the second half. 

First half is more fan service. Through I do think being able to tell us about the characters personality without saying directly 'this is the angry one' was pretty smart. Using the animation and art to tell the story visually. 

The ending was originally planned to be more conclusive and less 'sequel baiting' however as it taken several years for them to tease a sequel I would really say the series has been milked overly that much.

Just finished Kanon, I always enjoy watching this series because it has a good story and an interesting cast of characters. It tells quite a serious story but it's not without some amusing incidents and there's some really good banter between some of the characters, both in the dialogue and visually.

I just finished watching all the available episodes of Kaguya-sama: Love is War. I've gotta say, that one's become a favorite of mine.

Probably going to start watching Tsugumomo while I await the next episode of Kaguya-sama.

That's a lot of episodes. Good luck! xD 

I'm rethinking my decision after episode 7 and checking to see how many I had left. Lol

Feel like the 2 leads might get kinda boring after awhile

Up to episode 5 and  I admit I was wrong 🤣 Raido’s weird imagination is the perfect complement for Aharen’s weird behavior. The fact that they’re both so stoic makes it even funnier.

I got to do the research before making these choices. I'm only hurting and disappointing myself when I check the episode count. 🤣

So I've gathered. From what I've seen of it, it looks like it'll be pretty hilarious. Only one way to find out. 😅

Saw that NetoYome was on Crunchy so I clicked it.  I've seen it before and I really just wanted to enjoy a couple scenes of Ako being anti-normie again without watching the whole thing but I kinda got sucked in.  Might still drop it but it does have its moments.

I've just been watching "Someday's Dreamers" a 12 part slice of life series from 2002. It's a series that's seemingly been forgotten over the years, which is a shame because it's a quiet peaceful series with a good storyline and great characters.  This is a happy upbeat series but part of the last episode is going to resonate with anyone who has lost a loved one.
