Sailor Moon (English) - Episode 1 - 4

Prior to this I'd only seen Crystal which I enjoyed but based off of the first four episodes of the original I prefer this now, much more charm and the characters are more expressive and I love the 90's art style.

Non-Anime

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania - Movie (Complete)

Thoroughly enjoyed Ant-Man, Paul Rudd was as great as ever and Kang was brilliant as well, looking forward to seeing more of him. The uncanny valley of a certain character (think they briefly appeared in a trailer but in case not I don't want to give it away) I found very amusing even if the CG wasn't the strongest, made it more humorous to look at personally. Overall I found it a very fun movie and seeing the weird creatures of the Quantum Realm was interesting.
 
Via itvX, watched the following:

Bartender
Cowboy Bebop
Gundam: Reconguista in G (this was beyond my comprehension - I think I need to watch this again!)
Emma (Series 1) - eps 1 to 3
Inuyasha (Series 1) ep 1
Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water
Persona 5 (Series 01) - ending annoyed me so much!
Planetes (Series 1) - eps 1 -2
Sword of the Stranger

Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Cooking Skills - love Fel/Feru, what a gluttonous fenrir!
 
Endo and Kobayashi Live! The Latest on Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte episode 8 Counting on.

Farming Life in Another World episode 8 Diplomatic relations.

The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made Season 2 episode 19 Even the protagonist is fed up with this second season.

Space Pirate Captain Harlock: Arcadia of my Youth - Endless Orbit SSX episodes 17-22 (Complete. Though a decent entry the contextual fact that the series was cut short due to low ratings explains why the story feels a bit lacking towards the end.) 3/5

Space Warrior Baldios episodes 1-17
 
Great Teacher Onizuka (English dubbed) - Really good if sometimes a bit OTT with some of its more unsettling content and some of its attitudes are somewhat insensitive and dated... but yeah it was overall funny and I enjoyed it a lot like a good 95% of the time, I will likely rewatch it at some point and the dub was rly well done as well so it generally flew by pretty fast episode by episode :)

Currently watching Fruits Basket Season 3/Final Season, still need to pick up the Prelude movie on Blu-ray though for a complete set, I got S3 from CEX using mostly store credit and can't really justify paying £20 or so for something that's mostly recaps given my current financial situation, I saw it at my local Odeon a few months ago and I did enjoy it :)

Hi, nice ITVx selection.
Were they all dubbed?
 
One Piece episodes 615-641 rewatch and 642-746
Convenient that collection 30 completes the Dressrosa arc eexactly. It was excellent. Tense, exciting, great action, a typically wild story. Dolflamingo was an excellent villian. The backstories were really well done. The new characters were hugely entertaining. Usopp got a great hilarious role in the story that was really important. And Luffy, as always, proves how incredible he is!

Ant-Man And The Wasp: Quantumania
Saw this on opening night and really enjoyed it. Don't see why its getting so much hate.
 
Big movie day as I try to clear the backlog before my big holiday in April:
Poor Little Rich Girl: That Shirley Temple is scarily talented for a child.
Trouble Brewing: my first George Formby film. Fun and some good songs.
L'il Abner: the 1940 version, not the later and better musical one. Still Buster Keaton was funny and the all looked the part.
Mirai: very nice film about the dangers of bringing a younger sibling home. I liked how they managed to make Tokyo Station even more scary than it is.
13 Assassins: Woohoo, blood, gore, death, horror and a finish to rival Seven Samurai.

Phew!
I think I'll finish the evening with the second disc of X Japan's 1994 concert spectacular.

Speed Grapher episodes 1-2
 
Angel Links
Episodes 1-3
Enjoying this more than Outlaw Star.
There's a scene where some guy is fawning over 16 year old Meifon.
Yet Valeria is STANDING right next to her. Daft, I call it.

The Big O
Episodes 2+3
Calmed down a bit since the first episode but it's good.

Also finished Tulsa King with Stallone and watched the first 3 episodes of Halo.
Would like more fighting in the latter.

My mum's favourite Family Guy episode is now Road to Germany. Anything with Nazi's getting beat and she spotted the Marx Brothers joke.
 
Warlords of Sigrdrifa episodes 7-8.
Ningen Fushin: Adventurers Who Don't Believe in Humanity Will Save the World episode 8.
Trigun Stampede episodes 3-8.
 
Full Metal Panic Fumoffu rewatch
I've seen this series so many times and i still find it hilarious. It's so easy to watch and so much fun.

Summer Ghost
Fascinating short film. Dark and sad with a really interesting use of colour and a story that certainly takes some turns. Very glad I got this!
 
Part two of my marathon watching/clear out:
Captain January: Shirley Temple in a lighthouse. Kids were treated terribly in those days!
Blue Murder at St Trinians: I love all those old British actors, and the masses of crazed females laying waste to Europe is also fun.
Violet Evergarden the Movie: much too long and slow. They really decided to milk the emotions in this, didn't they?
Aria The Origination episodes 5.5-13: lots more back-story revelations and some more lovely moving forward action. Am I right in thinking President Aria is over 40 (and has developed a sudden interest in cosplay? Interesting that there has been almost no "supernatural" storylines this season.
 
By the Grace of the Gods 2nd Season Episode 20 Gathering.

Handyman Saitou in Another World Episode 8 Needed.

In/Spectre Season 2 Episode 20 An unusual case.
