Dragon Ball Z: Broly – The Legendary Super Saiyan (movie), Dragon Ball Z (Rewatch) episodes 147-164
 
Maria-Holic episodes 1-4: OK, I knew this was going to be a bit dodgy when I saw episode 3 was titled Masochistic Young Buds. Chaos would be a good description of what has occurred so far. Missing a lot as there is so much going on, but it's filthy (not visually so far- I'm sure that will change if they even get to the traditional hot springs episode). I'm currently watching the dubbed version so I'm not spending all my time reading the subtitles and missing the visual jokes.
 
Into The Abyss Dawn Of The Deep Soul: The movie directly continues on from the end of series 1 and resolves some of the questions asked near the end of the series. Lot of very traumatic moments (again), but the fascinating alien life in the deeper layers continues to delight (and disgust - there are a few quite grisly scenes). Big action finale which looks like it leads directly to series 2. I will rest and tackle that tomorrow.

Maria-Holic episodes 5-12: Some of the questions about what is going on in this nuthouse of a Japanese catholic school are answered but others remain a mystery (I'm starting to think the dorm mother is an immortal tanuki who's gone loco). The nose bleeds are becoming ridiculous. I'm sure series 2 will be just as demented, but it too can wait for tomorrow.
 
Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster! Episode 4 Demented dragon.

I'm Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!? Episode 3 Nosy neighbour.

I Left My A-Rank Party to Help My Former Students Reach the Dungeon Depths! Episode 2 Gaining attention.

Okitsura: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Knew What She's Saying Episode 3 Dance.
 
I've finished the following

My Happy Marriage S1
Seemed a bit quick towards the end.
Will probably watch the OVA and S2 later.

The Irregular at Magic High School S2
Not as exciting as S1. Probably not enough Tatsuya awesomeness.
I still want to see The Movie and S3

Un -Go
Detective and a bit of weirdness.
 
Blue Exorcist - The Blue Night Saga episode 3 Lash.

Detective Conan episode 1150 Fujin road.

A Cheeky Angel Episode 7-11 (English subbed) - Still a delight, looking forward to watching another lil chunk of episodes early next week! :)

Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans Episodes 5-19 (English dubbed) - Good, though I'm slightly less riveted than I was before as I reach the end of S1 maybe? 🤔

Buddy Daddies Episodes 1-6 (English dubbed) - OMG this is such a good, lovely show I was literally crying about how much I love it as I watched the opening credits for one of the episodes - papa!! Thankyou sooo much to @Otomo for selling me the Blu-ray!! 🥰

Papa, save me.
 
Vampire Princess Miyu OVA 1-4: good stories, including one about Miyu's origin, but very jerky 90s visuals and a US audio dub that sounded very robotic at times. The good old days, eh?

Robotics Notes episodes 7-11: The story is vaguely interesting, but also a bit generic. I did like the diesel powered giant robot moving a whole six inches.

Now rewatching Aeon Flux, a series I haven't seen for years. It waved at me from the shelf where it had been languishing, and called out to be played.
 
Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 episode 40 Old-school.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-Kun Season 2 episode 2 Time.

Dragon Ball Z (Rewatch) episodes 189-192, Dragon Ball Z: Bojack Unbound (Film), 193-194, 200-201, 204-209
 
Zenshu ep2-3

Nah, I think I’m done with this. There’s a decent idea rattling around in there somewhere, but outside of the impressive scenes of Natsuko using her summoning power, there’s bafflingly little to it beyond the most standard fantasy tropes and a largely charmless cast of characters. If this was an adaptation of an existing light novel, you would say it was constrained by the source material, but it’s anime original, so Mappa only have themselves to blame. If it goes wildly off-piste and does something else later on, I might come back to it, but I’ll not hold my breath.

Sorairo Utility ep2-3

Been pleasantly surprised by how lively the visuals are in this series. It’s not a Trigger production, but the silly reaction faces and visual gags definitely show their influence. The series isn’t as snappy as Laid Back Camp was at its best, but there’s just an obvious level of care and attention gone into this one that I rather appreciate.
