Been a while since I've posted here so a bit of an update I guess.

I was watching Trigun when I last posted but I guess I never mentioned it, but yeah, I watched Trigun. It took me a bit to get into it but by the end it had captured my attention for a while. Really strong show.

Finished Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu. I have some slight mixed feelings about the revelations in the ending but on the whole it was a really great series.

Downloaded the second of Gakkatsu! and watched it. I'd had it on hold for the past few years since only the first two episodes were subbed, but I'm comfortable enough with my understanding of Japanese by now that I felt it was about time to get back to it. It turned out that it came with captions, which made my life much easier. All in all, pretty fun.

Second Season of Owarimonogatari aired, so that was pretty good. I also rewatched Karen Bee after reading the first volume of Nise. Enjoyed it more than the first time some three years ago, that's for sure. Not as much as I enjoyed the book, but still.

Watched through Kemono Friends, enjoyed that a lot.

And I'm like, two episodes into Jigoku Shoujo. Not...really that into it at the moment? I mean, it's ok, but I'm not really enraptured or anything. Unless that changes by the time I finish I doubt I'll be moving on to the other seasons, but well, it's two episodes. Not that much to judge on I suppose.

Far as airing stuff goes, I've been enjoying everything I'm watching, which is a good feeling to have. Centaur no Nayami in particular has continued to surpass my very low expectations week by week. It's still not an objectively very well crafted series, but the fact that they understand the themes of the manga and what makes it good shines through extremely clearly, and that means a lot to me. They've gone beyond what I ever expected them to do, like, I never ever expected them to touch on the Holocaust chapter, yet there it was. They have not neglected the worldbuilding aspect of the series in any regard (well, almost any, they have understandably cut down the chapters focused on television, which i get, but also regret), so while I'm not necessarily impressed with the show on a strict technical basis I really appreciate it as a faithful adaptation.

Mahoujin GuruGuru is also really fun.

And...I think that's it for now. Not everything I'm watching, but everything for now.
