Beautiful Bones
Episode 6 😍
Arifureta S2
Episodes 3+4
Combatants will be Dispatched
Episodes 9-12
Finished. Not as funny as it thinks it is.
Nudity would have helped.

Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigations S1
Episodes 4+5

I set up ITVX for my mum and dad.
Mainly so I could watch Episode 1 of Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water.
Wish today's acting was as good as this.
Will continue for the baddy. Hubba Hubba.
Gave me Willy Fogg vibes. Then I found it was a Spanish Japanese production.

Tawawa on Monday S1
Binged. Quite a relaxing show but I'm wondering if I should be creeped out by the plot? Oh well, never mind. No one seems bothered that Date a Live has a 14 year old showing her panties in the first 5 minutes.

Judging from the emoticon you must be enjoying Beautiful Bones. I really need to re-watch that series sometime, I loved it - plus she's a hottie!

I'm sorry, but it gave your willy... what?!? 🤔 😁

I loved the English dub for Nadia the Secret of Blue Water :)

Me or My tho? 🤔 🤣 I keep meaning to watch Around the World with Willy Fog it looked so fun! :)
 
I have the Nadia UE on pre-order - if it ever ships sometime before I die... 😒

I've only seen the first episode, though, and it seemed to be a bit too much of a children's Saturday Morning cartoon for me, so I'm not sure if I'll keep my order for this or cancel it. Does the story get any more mature later on? I'm a bit beyond children's cartoons now.

Nadia? Couldn't find mention of any foreign companies involved on Wikipedia, but it was influenced by Around the World in 80 Days apparently: "This series' origins date to the mid-1970s when Hayao Miyazaki was hired by Toho to develop a television series. One of these concepts was "Around the World in 80 days by Sea""

Was a Spanish-Japanese production! One of many Euro-Japanese shows in the 80s that I watched as kid including Dogtanian and the 3 Muskehounds by the same 2 companies, and Ulysses 31 (DIC (French at the time) and TMS) and Mysterious Cities of Gold by DIC and Studio Pierrot!

It gets a lot more apocalyptic in later episodes, falls apart for about half a dozen episodes on the island, then comes together for a satisfying finale.
 
Master Of Study episodes 11-16 and end: excellent series about forcing teenagers to study to get into the top Korean university. Not as many laughs as Love Hina, but some excellent moments of dramatic tension (maybe just a few too many moments). Loved actor Bae Doona and her "tcha's" which expressed a wide range of emotions.

Non Non Biyori episodes 1-6: ahhh, the perfect stress relief, set in a school where nobody even mentions trying to get into uni. I think I may have to order seasons 2 and 3 and the movie. Maybe they'll be on special at Christmas.... :)
 
A Galaxy Next Door Episode 9 Persistence.

EDENS ZERO 2nd Season Episode 35 A new power.

My Love Story with Yamada-kun at Lv 999 Episode 10 Cruel and caring.

Summoned to Another World for a Second Time Episode 9 Possesed.

The Dangers in My Heart Episode 10 Christmas date.
 
KonoSuba! An Explosion on This Wonderful World! (Japanese) - Episode 9

Hell's Paradise (Japanese) - Episode 3 - 9

Mob Psycho 100 (Season 3) (Japanese) - Episode 6 - 12 (Complete)

My Hero Academia (Season 6) (Japanese) - Episode 120 - 121

Mob Psycho 100 ended perfectly, an all around fantastic series. Reigen once again is the star of the show but really loved Dimple as well this season, more than before. All the cast were great as always though but they're my standouts.
 
Hell’s Paradise episode 9 Accompany.

MIX: Meisei Story Season 2 episode 34 Bandages.

Arata the Legend episodes 7-12 (Complete. Some good ideas in concept but less so in execution.) 3/5

Astra Lost in Space (Rewatch) episodes 1-12 (Complete. A highlight from when it aired and still a fun watch.) 4/5

At the Mercy of the Sky episodes 1-6
 
BIRDIE WING s2 e9
Push the limits.

Demon Slayer: Swordsmith Village Arc ep 9
Lost in the mist.

Yamada-kun ep 10
High fever.

Hell's Paradise ep 9
Monstrous gods.
 
Non Non Biyori episodes 7-12: so relaxing. If only all crises could be that trivial.

The Host: Korean giant monster horror film starring three of the cast members of Master of Study. Excellently scary with overly jaunty music on the end credits. Got it from CEX and was confused to see it said disc one on the DVD. Scrolling further down the page I find there is also a 2 disc version, which is actually 50p cheaper!

MASHLE: MAGIC & MUSCLES (Japanese audio) - Episodes 1-8

Finally watched an anime, considering it's been a while. Starting the Spring season with Mashle as it's a series that I wanted to check out for a while. I do own the volumes but the anime I felt would be the best way to get into it, and it delivers. The show does a great job with its concept and while its not for everyone, I'm loving the on-going gags with Mash and the numerous obstacles that get in his way, like how to use a broom to getting through a door. Music surprisingly slaps too.
