Space Dandy [English Dub] episodes 1-3
Already great fun. The production looks fantastic with some great names like Shinichiro Watanabe and Shingo Natsume directing with Keiichiro Watanabe, Bahi JD and the cube god himself Yutaka Nakamura providing key animation. Interested in getting to season 2 since episode 5 was directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. The English dub is also pretty dandy so that's good.

Fate/Stay Night [Heaven's Feel] II. Lost Butterfly (Japanese audio) - Film

tumblr_px2u4oYZf21shmkc9o3_r1_540.gif


This film (or story arc in general) subverts your expectations in the most insane way possible. I really enjoyed this film and the only major nitpick that I had was with the Saber vs Berserker fight which was great but the amount of CG and so much going on with it honestly ruined the excitement for me in what should be the biggest part of the film. I found Sakura's path to despair more interesting than that fight itself.

Finding the right words.
 
Ghost in the Shell: Arise Border 03 - Ghost Tears (English Dub)

Despite its often negative reputation, Arise continues to be a perfectly decent sci-fi yarn, it's just not breaking any new ground for the franchise. It also kind of undermines the running gag about Togusa's preference for a revolver being anachronistic when Kusanagi is running around with one too.

Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia - Initium Iter
An episode 0 to the upcoming series. It already looks to be in good hands with studio CloverWorks. Storywise it's a decent introduction to this part of Grand Order though may still be a tad confusing to those not so familiar with the Fate franchise. What I have played of Grand Order (Orleans and Septum) were pretty meh so I don't mind those not getting adapted but the little cameo sequence toward the end was a nice touch.

Space Dandy [English Dub] episodes 4-6

Dr Stone episode 10

Fruits Basket 1st Season episode 23

Granbelm episode 10
The suffering is just so good
 
A Certain Scientific Accelerator episode 9 Robot Wars.

Dr. STONE episode 10 Cola time.

Fire Force episode 9 Encased.

Fruits Basket (2019) episode 23 Holding hands.

Granbelm episode 10 Living doll.

Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? II episode 9 Shatter.

Maidens of the Savage Season episode 10 I do wonder how this will be resolved/concluded.

Wasteful Days of High School Girls episode 10 Get the Balance Right.

Philadelphia (Film) A brilliantly acted and thoughtful film that deals with prejudice towards sexuality and illness in a courtroom setting. Both Hanks and Washington are on top form (the former winning an academy award for his role) and the late Jonathan Demme does a fine job directing also. The 4K disc is very nice and recommend for anyone thinking of upgrading. 4/5
 
Cells at Work! (English Dub) Episode 1-13 + Special (Complete)
A unique and very educational show about life inside the human body. I really liked how this explains what happens daily within the body with its own inhabitants, enemies and problems not to different from our own. The different cells, bacteria etc and their interactions with each other was really interesting. Looking forward to what the second season has in store. 4/5

Miss Caretaker of Sunohara-sou (English Dub) Episode 7
 
Blue Gale Xabungle - Episodes 48 - 50 [Final]

A much over-looked and under-rated Tomino show, I've enjoyed it more second time round, it's not perfect and it suffers from feeling a bit drawn out in the second half of the series but well worth a view. Now for Graffiti.

Carole & Tuesday - Episode 20

A excellent episode and setting up the conclusion nicely.
 
Wasteful Days of Highschool Girls episode 10
