Been watching through everything Aria and finished after about two weeks:
Aria The Animation
Aria The Natural
Aria Arietta
Aria The Origination
Aria The Avvenire
Satojun's "Venice. I'm sorry!"
Satojun's "Venice. I'm sorry!" Returns
Picture Dramas

What a fantastic 10/10 journey that was, if you're a fan of iyashikei, slice of life, comedy anime then it's an absolute must watch.
 
Watched the first 2 episodes of WandaVision now they're up on disney+. Omg it's so good. The retro sitcom styling is so well done and really funny. The seeds of a mystery have also been planted and I'm really excited to see how it pans out. The cast are all on top top form. God it's good to have the MCU back.
 
Back Arrow episode 2 Beneath.

Jujutsu Kaisen (TV) episode 14 Cool!

So I'm a Spider, So What? episode 2 Level up.

SHIMONETA: A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn’t Exist episodes 5-12 (Complete. An ecchi comedy series that lends itself to some over the top scenes and characters but felt more like it was going more for shock factor than laughs.) 3/5

Short Peace (Film) Four shorts by four different directors. I’d say A Farewell to Arms was my favourite of the lot. 3.5/5

The Quintessential Quintuplets s2 e2
Division.

So I'm a Spider, So What? ep 2
Grinding.
This seems mostly the MC's shouting her thoughts into the void, it's more than a little annoying. The OP suggests that there are other people who have reincarnated as spiders, hopefully she meets one soon so they can bounce off one another as at the moment it just seems so unnatural. Also the fact some of the classmates getting reincarnated as humans is a little weird. I think it would be better if it was just focused on the one person.

JUJUTSU KAISEN ep 14
Surprise!
 
GOD EATER stalling my simulcast progress but I am working on fixing that asap lol.

Laid Back Camp S2 ep1-2

Still the show we need right now.

Akudama Drive ep1

Not quite sure what I'd expected from this, but I should really have gotten to it sooner - that was one of the most promising first episodes I've seen in quite a while. It's like a big, dumb fighting show crashed into the cyberpunk dressing-up box and came out wearing all the tropes like an overdressed Scooby Doo villain. Tremendous fun.
 
Ep 2 of World Trigger 2nd season
Ep 2 of Horimiya...how is that people in anime always seem to forget their birthdays
Eps 20-24 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (complete)
Ep 1 of That Time i Got Reincarnated as a Slime 2nd season
 
So, with people saying how bad EX-ARMS was, I decided to give the three lowest rated TV shows on MAL a watch

First up with a MAL rating of 3.39 we have Vampire Holmes what was just awful, I wanted to drop this after a few episodes but kept on going just for completion.

Final Score 2/10 (Why didn't I rate this a 1/10? W'z gets to keep that special place)

Next up with a MAL rating of 3.43 we have everyones favorite Pupa, I didn't rewatch this as my review says the same, it had good idea's but poorly executed.... Onii Chan~

Final Score 3/10

And finally with a MAL rating of 3.75 is Hanoka, what I'm going to say was pretty good. Story, Characters and Voice Acting were decent and the Animation reminds me of the the good ol' days where you used to download flash vids

Also nice to see when fansubbers were fansubbers and didn't just rip off official streams


Final Score 5/10

Forgot to link to Morino's youtube if you want to watch more Flash anime from the early 2000's

Last week:

Daphne in the Brilliant Blue
Episodes 5 - 24, plus the 2x OVAs

Bit heavy on the fan-service, but an interesting story in the later half beyond the "baddie of the week" of the first part.

Shiki
Episodes 1 - 24 (plus the 2x OVAs)

A series of 2 halves, where vampire-like people start killing off the town, some rise from the dead to carry on etc. First part was a bit slow pace before speeding up for the last few episodes. One of the OVAs was a bit of a hard-watch for me (lot of violence).

Tactics
Episodes 1 - 17

Latest series from my older back-pile (a charity shop find of the "Manga Force" releases), first few episodes are very much "baddie/spirit of the week" but seems to be heading into some final climax against a group.
 
Full Metal Panic rewatch
Fun action comedy. Been a few years since I last watched (I think) but it's always a fun ride.

Full Metal Panic Fumoffu rewatch
God I love this show. This was the first full on comedy anime I saw and I've seen it many times now and it still makes me laugh. Every episode is hilarious.

Full Metal Panic The Second Raid rewatch
This is a series that gets better with rewatches. It starts quite light but its second half becomes much darker which can be a bit of a shock the first time but once you know what you're getting in for it's a very well done series.

Full Metal Panic Very Merry Christmas audio drama
Its shame this story isnt animated as it would make a great film in my view. But this audio drama was very entertaining and had made the wait for this set worth it.

Full Metal Panic Invisible Victory
Oh boy what a series. Exciting, tense, surprising. The animation is great and the mech battles really are something to behold. The general tone of the show is more serious now but it works as you feel there are real stakes for the characters. An energetic and very welcome return to the FMP world.

Full Metal Panic What if? audio drama
The franchise can still have fun though and here we get to hear some silly hypothetical situations to put the characters in.

All in all this franchise is excellent. If I'm correct there are only 3 more light novels to complete the initial run which could be done in a single series so I really hope it gets made (and we dont have to wait over 10 years for it!)

Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie (Film) This film offers a space opera with some trippy visuals - I’d be interested in seeing what the TV series is like so may pick up the upcoming Discotek release. 3.5/5

Space Brothers episodes 1-6
 
Bottom Tier Character Tomozaki-kun ep 2
Better than the first episode now Tomozaki-kun is in training to be better at communicating, although he seems to have gone from zero to at least average already as most of the cast of girls open up straight away without questioning why the gloomy weirdo is suddenly talking with them!

Horimiya ep 2
What's in a name?
Another fantastic episode, the characters and relationships seem so much more natural than a lot of other similar shows like BTCT 👆 for example, but at the same time is really funny.

Kemono Jihen ep 2
A light in the dark.

Non Non Biyori Nonstop ep 2
Meeting new people.

Attack on Titan Final Season ep 6
