Fruits Basket (2019) ep 23
Exam results and a surprise visitor.

GRANBELM ep 10
Woah, quite the episode. Lots to unpack, although some didn't make sense to me. If Mangetsu is a doll and thus can't win then surely Suishou can't win either as she's clearly not human either after not dying to that stabbing and thus Ernesta has already won!

Demon Slayer ep 23
After some really great episodes recently this one was a bit dull after the resolution of the cliffhanger. It also had some "comedic" moments, if only Zenitsu had lost his voice like Inosuke!

Lord El-Melloi II ep 10
A possible theory of who and how the recent events happened, but it came off as gibberish wrapped in gobbledegook!

Fire Force ep 9
Pretty good fight, apart from the weird ecchi interpretation.

Dr. Stone ep 10
Picking a side.
 
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba episode 23 Proving and more yelling.

Fairy Tail: Final Season episode 325 Captured.

Junjo Romantica episodes 6-12 (Complete. A mixed bag of sorts in regards to the characters, their developments and story. I have season 2 to watch at some stage also.) 2.5/5

They Live (Film) “I’m here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I’m all out of gum!” It’s about time I got around to watching John carpenter’s satirical classic and it’s a great ride from start to finish. 4.5/5

Kanamemo episodes 1-4
 
A Certain Scientific Accelerator episode 9
Fire Force episode 9
Modest Heroes (dub)
I'm really not impressed with Netflix for this one. Why is there no English sub?
Three shorts. I didn't really enjoy the first one but I was still calling Netflix bad names at that point. The other two were quite good but I expect most people will criticise the fact they don't really do anything. Well they don't, but they're well animated and enjoyable. 7/10 for me.
 
Land of the Lustrous eps 4-6
The story really doesn't seem to be going anywhere. We get a bit of lore as to how the various inhabitants of the world came about which is interesting, but that's about it.
The image still doesn't seem 100%, but the from what I've seen of the story it's really not worth stopping here and paying £30 for the Blu-ray.

Tonari no Seki-kun eps 10-12
Golf, Mountain Climbing and a driving test.

Wasteful Days of High School Girls ep 10
Robo-san related episode.

O Maidens in Your Savage Season ep 10
DRAMA!

Finally started Mobile Suit Gundam! Ep 1-12

Really enjoying it so far. It's tense, fast paced and action packed. Theres also a wide array of characters with varying personalities showing the different ways people react to war as civilians and soldiers. This is particularly born out with the main character.
 
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations episode 123 Working together to take down a foe.

Kanamemo episodes 5-13 (Complete. An endearing series for the most part, I found Haruka to be a bit of an uncomfortable character in places though.) 3.5/5

Komori-san Can’t Decline! episodes 1-12 (Complete. This was alright and had some fun moments but like with Inugami-San, another gimmick-centric short series, I wish it had a 12/24 minute runtime.) 3/5

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (Film) (Rewatch) Just as gorgeous and entertaining as it was in cinemas, makes me hope that a sequel isn’t too far off. 4/5

ARIFURETA: From Commonplace to World's Strongest (Japanese audio) - Episode 9

In this weeks' episode of STAUP STAUP ARIFURETA'S ANIME IS ALREADY DEAD, Tio the Dragonborn is introduced and I cannot believe some madman artist drew a Dragon's asshole with no censorship.
 
Land of the Lustrous eps 7-9
A change of season and a new character shows up only to be kidnapped by the end of 8. Phos, after the events of the first 2 episodes in this batch, suddenly turns into a badass due in part to an ability she obtained by a complete fluke and, I guess, practice off screen! Character growth, yes, but not very satisfactory.

Hakumei and Mikochi ep 1 (re-watch)
In the lead up to Vol 7 of the manga coming out, I thought I'd re-watch this as the last episode covers upto Vol 5. I tried the dub, it just sounded wrong from what I remember of the Japanese VA performance (even though that was 10 months ago already) and so it was when switching back to the sub.
