Appleseed (1988 OVA - Blu-ray)
I've been a big fan of Appleseed ever since I first saw it in th 90's (and another anime I've now bought on 3 formats) and it still holds up well for me. I love the sinister edge it has as it tells it's story about humanity evolving to utopian societies and the integration of robots and enchanced humans into that society.

Shrine Maiden
Luminous Witches eps 10-12 (complete)
Homecoming, returning and the big show.
A pretty fun idol show spun off from Strike Witches, which I haven't seen, but I'm guessing has a different tone. Another show with too many characters, although they mostly got their own episode each. There wasn't much to the story, a bunch of misfits not able to fight come together and shockingly have the skills between them to write songs, make costumes, choreograph routines and then actually perform them to high standard. There was some light drama along the way, but all tropey like; I can't do this thing, but with friends I can get over it and then do said thing, etc.
The art and animation were OK, but you can definitely tell most effort was put into the performances which were good as were the songs.
7/10
Call of the Night eps 10-13 (complete)
Maid, school rumours, uncertainty and decision time.
A chill watch with good fun characters, excellent music and cinematography. Shame the plot didn't really go anywhere until the last couple of episodes as it was starting to drag a tad. I've seen a few "it gets better" from the manga fans, so definitely up for a second season.
The art is very nice, it was driving me nuts as to where I'd seen similar character designs, turns out the mangaka also did Dagashi Kashi. The animation was very good too.
7/10
Summer's not over yet, but Autumn is here:
My Master Has No Tail ep 1
Seems like fun. A Tanuki visits Osaka, but can't trick any of the humans and then she watches a master Rakugoka "trick" the humans with her expert telling of her story and so the Tanuki decides she wants to do the same. Some of the jokes are Japanese puns or references, but there were enough that translated well enough.

My Hero Academia World Heroes Mission
What a film! Probably my favourite of the MHA films. Really enjoyed how the themes of choice and freedom were explored with the various characters. And in true MHA style it looked absolutely stunning.
Dr Stone: Stone Wars
This show is excellent. I love how into science it is. Some really good twists and turns and closes out the main plot from season 1. Really hope they keep making it as the ending promises big things to come!
Combatants Will Be Dispatched
The ol' villian is a hero trope. Very silly but also pretty funny.
Emma season 1
The show is so glacial that I struggled with it at first but in the second half when the drama ratchets up it all became far more engaging and interesting.
Suppose A Kid From The Last Dungeon Boonies Moved To A Starter Town?
Stupid title but I did enjoy this a lot. It was fun and funny with a likable cast. Nothing groundbreaking or anything but a nice easy watch.
