365 Days to the Wedding Episode 12 Proposal. (Complete. A slow burner of a rom-com that slowly builds up to it's expected conclusion.) 3/5

Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? V Episode 11

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II Episode 12 A Reason to Fight. (Complete. A fun continuation, though this overall was more engaging than the first season when it came to it's gun fights.) 3.5/5
 
Dragonball ep7-9

It wouldn’t be my first choice of metaphor, just sayin’

Some of the gags continue to be a bit cringey (can Goku please stop patting people’s crotches to determine their genitalia?), but honestly, I kind of prefer this over Z so far. The goofy adventure-schtick of original DB appeals to me far more than the battle/training/battle/training/driving lessons/battle setup of its more illustrious successor. Seeing Master Roshi using the kamehameha for the first time did make me wonder though if ‘feeble looking old man can power up to Hulk proportions’ was an existing trope prior to this or if Dragonball coined that one. It struck me that there’s a very similar character in Fatal Fury who has the same power, and I just wondered if this was where the archetype came from.
 
Dragon Ball Daima episode 11 Watch and see.

Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II episode 12 Continue. (Complete. A better season in my eyes than the first, though still not one of the stronger watches of the season.) 3/5

The iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors 2nd Season episode 24 Own answer. (Complete. Also a slightly stronger season than the first, though SC in general isn’t quite as good as the mainline series.) 3/5

Cowboy Bebop (Rewatch) episodes 23-26 (Complete. This is one of those signature anime titles that gets recommended to newcomers - I recall it being one of the earlier pre-2000s watches of mine back in the day and it remains a strong series to this day.) 4/5, 4/5

Crying Freeman OVAs 1-6 (Complete. CF was an entertaining though messy OVA series that I enjoyed despite its flaws.) 3.5/5

Cyber City Oedo 808 (Rewatch) OVAs 1-3 (Complete. Another OVA series that was due a rewatch owing to the re-released BD set. This time I opted for the Manga UK dub and it was rather entertaining.) 3.5/5
 
Dragon Ball Daima (Japanese) - Episode 11

We've had Majin Buu, then Majin Kuu and now we have Majin Duu.

Kuu and Duu are such fun, goofy characters, love their sibling dynamic.

Glad to see Vegeta finally get a chance to shine as well as getting some new lore on Piccolo, with the reveal of his fathers name... I assume they're not referring to King Piccolo though? as King Piccolo and Piccolo are kind of the same person through reincarnation though at the same time I've always seen King Piccolo as Piccolo's father as there is a significant amount of differences where I wouldn't say they're the same person. By that logic Kid Buu and Uub are the same person as Uub is the reincarnation of Kid Buu but they're clearly different characters, best not to think about it though at the end of the day, isn't a complaint at all, just a tangent of mine really 😅😂

EDIT: Considering King Piccolo and Kami were the split of one Namekian and then Kami fused with Piccolo during the Cell Saga, I guess Piccolo technically is King Piccolo again as King Piccolo and Kami were one at one point as well.

Namekian's are a fictional species so trying to make sense of it in human terms and biology isn't the way to go about it.

Anyway, even if just in a flashback I hope we get to see what Piccolo's father looks like.
