Finished season 1 of Avatar the Last Airbender. Really enjoyed it. Its characters and world building are very well done and the story becomes very engaging. I did find some elements of the story telling (particularly at the end of episodes) to be a bit american cheesy in a Clone Wars or Rebels kind of way and then saw its directed by Dave Filoni who made both!
 
Sakura Quest eps 4-7 (dub)
A pair of 2 parters each one about one of the girls finding their mojo again. I liked the drama. The arguments seem a lot more real than some other shows, although of course everything gets nicely resolved in the end.

Wasteful Days of High School Girls ep 6
Yet another side character gets the spotlight.

Fruits Basket (2019) ep 19
We get to meet another Zodiac member of the Soma clan. They're quite annoying at first, but the end of the episode was quite sweet.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season ep 6
Trying to invent an urban myth.
 
A Certain Scientific Accelerator episode 5 Tongue tattoos and ass cannons.

Dr. STONE episode 6 Claiming the miracle?

Fire Force episode 5 Already into a fight, should get interesting.

Fruits Basket (2019) episode 19 I’m sorry!

Granbelm episode 6 Reality comes to form.

Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? II episode 5 A popular familia and a lot of debt.

Maidens of the Savage Season episode 6 Meddling with misunderstandings is a risky thing to do.

Wasteful Days of High School Girls episode 6 An unlikely bond.

Overbearing mothers and a class quiz.

Senku revival backstory part 2 and a sudden encounter.

Fire Force Episode 5
Another decent outing this week. Looks like my hunch about the 5th division was right. It'Il be interesting to find out exactly what sort of research they've been doing.

Granbelm Episode 6
A shocking truth is revealed. That ending tho... HOLY SH*T.

This show is just ridiculous, and these girls are bonkers.
 
Fruits Basket (2019) ep 18-19
18 was good stuff, 19 was a bit heavy-handed. Felt like using a sledgehammer to hammer a nail in.

Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note ep 5
There's so much good stuff in here for Fate fans. Also, I'm an episode behind now aren't I..?

Astra: Lost in Space ep 6
This was a surprisingly good handling of intersexuality considering most Japanese media, and a really good episode all round.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ep 19
Dayum, that animation.

Slaughtering demons in a room filled with horror and jump scares kept me occupied this past couple of days, but I managed to try and catch up today. I'll be watching more tomorrow (hopefully).

I was going to catch up with current season stuff after work, but most of them are action-y and I wasn't in the mood. So back to:

Sakura Quest eps 12-15 (dub)
Festival and a break from work.
 
Totally forgot about simulcasts over the past few days so:

Granbelm episode 6 - That ED interruption was so reminiscent of Attack on Titan Season 3 Part 1's glitched ED that I thought CR's player had broke lol. Really like when they experiment with OP/EDs like that.

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episode 19 - Nozomu Abe strikes again with another fantastic cut. The final five minutes was just perfect.

Fruits Basket 1st Season episode 19

Dr Stone episode 6

Fire Force episode 5

Symphogear XV episode 6

O Maidens in Your Savage Season episode 6

The Demon Girl Next Door episode 5

If It's for My Daughter, I'd Even Defeat a Demon Lord episode 6 [Dropped] - While I don't find it to be bad I'm just getting pretty bored of it. May pick up the rest at the end of the season I guess.

That leaves 8 series and 2 short series this season. Pretty manageable now.

Fairy Tail: Final Season episode 321 Looks like talking it out didn’t work then.

Hidamari Sketch x ☆☆☆ (Rewatch) episodes 10-12 & OVAs 1-2 (Complete. A strong third season that seamlessly introduces new characters into the cast.) 4/5

Hidamari Sketch x SP (Rewatch) OVAs 1-2 (Complete. Some fun OVAs, though why they weren’t included with one of the seasons I don’t know.) 4/5

Re:Stage! ep 6
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S ep 19-24 [END]

The first arc was great, in most aspects, great animation, story, pacing.. even liked the filler eps. But the 2nd arc was kinda boring, I know it's a filler arc but even S1 filler arcs were better than this. If it was just the first arc it would be a high 8/9.. with the 2nd is a 7/10. Looking forward to S3 and will be buying the physical release soon.

Haikyu! Season 2 ep1-12

Really enjoying this show. The character drama is really well done and the mix of sports action, tension and comedy is really well balanced!
 
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episode 119 A poignant end for the arc, decent overall.

Vinland Saga episode 6 Burning down the house.

Hidamari Sketch x Honeycomb (Rewatch) episodes 4-6

Insomnia (Film) An early outing for Christopher Nolan and a very solidly made thriller remake. Al Pacino and Robin Williams work well opposite each other and the story remains intriguing throughout. I hope to check out the film this was based on at some stage. 4/5
 
Sakura Quest eps 16-20
A treasure hunt and finding a new use for an old building.

GRANBELM ep 6
A bit of backstory with Anna and Ernesta.

Vinland Saga ep 6
A bit of anime original with Thorfinn's first kill and then a time skip to a part that was a flashback in the manga. Seems they're sticking with doing the story in chronological order, so IIRC the next episode will be chapter 1 of the manga.
 
Ep 6 of Vinland Saga...still absolutely superb
Eps 3-6 of Dr Stone...Taiju’s not being so annoying now
Eps 5 & 6 of To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts
Ep 19 of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba...the animation of that fight was outstanding
Ep 6 of El-Melloi II’s Case Files...probably my fave series from the Fate universe
Ep 5 of Fire Force
Ep 5 of Given...Mayufu is still precious and girl you had better keep your jealousy to yourself
