Black Clover episode 131 Going back to their roots.

Diary of our Days at the Breakwater episode 3 Go carting.

Yuyushiki (Rewatch) episodes 7-12 (Complete. Fun and zany though perhaps a little more reserved in its oddness compared to some comedies. It was worth the revisit.) 3.5/5
 
Wolf's Rain episodes 7-9

Claymore episodes 1-2

As the spring anime season falls apart I might as well make some semblance of a weekly schedule through my backlog

Appare-Ranman! - Episodes 1 & 2
Very colourful, funny characters, really put a smile on my face. Similar setting to JoJo Steel Ball Run.

Sing "Yesterday" for Me - Episodes 1-3
Getting some NHK vibes. This is probably going to be an emotional rollercoaster.

Princess Connect! ReDive - Episodes 1-3
Rather amusing.
 
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society (dub)
As it was a stand alone story it has a much shorter run time, some 50 less minutes, that's not to say it's any less complex! There's about 3 or 4 different strands entwined in the central plot which does take a bit of untangling.
I think the art and animation were another notch up.
8/10
Individual Eleven is probably my favourite.
One thing I noticed looking through MAL though is that the 2 OVAs LM & IE were both redubbed with seemingly a different team. Only checked The Major, Batou and Aramaki, but all were different, but they did a pretty good job of replicating the originals as I didn't notice much difference when watching SSS, as the originals were all back.
Another thing I noticed is that Mary E. McGlynn wasn't the very original Major. I haven't watched it in a while, just before going to see the live action film, I think. Probably will after 2045 as a palette cleanser after all that CG!

Another short. Not as funny as the other 2.

Shironeko Project ZERO Chronicle ep 3
What a leader needs.

Shachibato! ep 3
Dungeon management.

Embankment ep 3
Become the fish.
On hold now then, I guess.

Gleipnir ep 3
Stakeout.

Woodpecker Detective's Office ep 2
A bad night out.

Princess Connect! Re: Dive ep 3
Nobody likes a critic.

Fruits Basket s2 e3
Ah, this was the one part of the original adap that noticed was missing from season 1 of the new adap.
 
Ahiru no Sora episode 28 The Chase.

TAMAYOMI: The Baseball Girls episode 4 Not getting past.

Tower of God episode 4 Testing patience.

Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War S2 - Episode 2
I really love the characters in this. I still find myself laughing every few seconds and it can be so cute at times.

Woodpecker Detective's Office - Episodes 1 & 2
This seems to have been overlooked, I started it on a whim and am very interested in where its going. That last episode left off on a real cliffhanger...

Persona 5 the Animation: The Day Breakers
I've played Persona 5 already but since I have the BD for this special now thought I may as well watch it. I would say its a good introduction to the world of P5.
 
Sword Art Online episodes 18 to 25.
First season watched, nice ending sowing the seeds for the next season in my eye.

Time to try and dig the 2nd season boxset I got in an ATA sale a couple years ago
 
Ghost in the Shell ARISE: Alternative Architecture eps 1 & 2 (AKA Ghost Stands Alone)
I notice they changed the order slightly by putting what was the OVA Border 4 up first. The rest seem to follow in the original order.
Cool factoid I noticed when checking the Japanese VAs this time. Motoko's VA as the younger version from ARISE also has a credit in the original film as Shoujo (Kusanagi)! So I'm guessing the voice of Motoko in her new body at the end of the film!

Kakushigoto ep 4
What's in a name and a different perspective.

Tower of God ep 4
Crown game.

GITS SAC 2045 season 1- character designs and CG are the weakest part of it but ngl by episode 6 I was fine with it. Major and Batou are a charm as always. I think I do recommend it maybe after Season 2 is out though.
