Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc (Japanese) - Episode 12 - 13 (Complete)

This was another fantastic season of Black Butler, it was nice to see certain characters get a chance to shine and I liked the new characters introduced as well. This is probably my second favourite season after Book of Circus now.

My Dress-Up Darling (Season 2) (Japanese) - Episode 14

Macross Zero (Japanese) - Episode 4 - 5 (Complete)

This was my first dive into the Macross series and it was a decent time. I know this is the earliest in the timeline despite releasing at a later date but I'm not sure if the events of this series would mean more to me if I'd seen earlier entries in the series or not. This didn't blow me away admittedly but I'm still looking forward to watching and collecting the rest of this series.

I have AnimEigo's 4K release of Macross II: Lovers Again on pre-order still so hopefully that'll be finished and shipped soon enough.

Gachiakuta (English) - Episode 2
 
Rewatch of
Trapped in a Dating SIM
As enjoyable and funny as the first time.

Kaiju No8
Episodes 1-7
I'm not getting the humour (except the Vice Captains reactions) but like the action.

Blend S
Episodes 1-4
A girl with an unfortunate glare.

You are Ms Servant
Episodes 1-6
Nice mix of action and possible romance?
School nurses are always great for fanservice.

Kanokon
Episodes 1-4
Grandpa, the city is a scary place.
A show that doesn't pretend to be something else.
It amused me that the male MC, Kota, is played by Mamiko Noto.

See Me After Class OVA
Those Science Freaks OVA
No comment.😇

It constantly amazes me that Japanese voice actors still give their all even in these shows.
 
Heavy Metal L-Gaim - Episodes 48 - 54 [Final]

I have really enjoyed watching L-Gaim again, that run of brilliant episodes up to a very good ending (imho at least), and including the final scene of episode 52, are still as thrilling today as they were when I first saw L-Gaim and it remains in the high echelons of anime I rate 10/10 (i.e. only a handful) . I also still think the background music in L-Gaim is awesome and has some of the best music in any anime I've seen so far even now. L-Gaim also looks awesome in HD, it has that sharp, clean look that the Layzner Blu-ray has and, personally speaking, I'm really happy with that as I was really hoping HD L-Gaim would look as good as HD Layzner did.

Wild 7

Wild 7 was right up my street and I had a great time watching it. It has a nice punchy story, it was excessively violent and had gorgeous 90's OVA animation to boot. I would snap up a Blu-ray release of this in a heartbeat.

The Quiet Don: Yakuza Side Story

Continuing to work through various 80's and 90's OVAs, The Quiet Don was another fun, if rather simplistic, anime that was an easy watch to pass the time with.

Treasure Island - Episode 1

This is another 70's classic that I have long wanted to see and now there's a nice looking Blu-ray from Discotek an opportunity to finally see it. Having seen a lot of Osamu Dezaki's other work I'm interested to see how his take on Robert Louis Stevenson's classic tale pans out.
 
Takopi's Original Sin episode 1

Is it just me or does the sound of summer cicadas in anime instantly evoke simultaneous feelings of dread and appreciation for the beauty in the world? Anime horror creatives certainly use their fear-inducing priorities to maximum effect for anyone that's seen Evangelion and Higurashi for example. So sure, start your show with all the usual disclaimers fine, but put some Cicada sounds in the background and you've got my attention.

Suffice to say the initial impressions that I read of this show did not lie. Maybe Takopi was heading towards a grimdark magical girl show anyway, but even then this seems more than he bargained for. Not often I get a chance, or make time, to ramble about shows nowadays, let alone single episodes, but colour me fascinated for this one. Shinji, please relinquish the crown for most depressed anime child.
 
Grand Blue Season 2 episode 2 Sister Act.

See You Tomorrow at the Food Court episode 2 Tears and trust.

Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin episode 14 Back to the past.

Macross Δ: Zettai Live!!!!!! (Film) (Complete. Not one of the stronger Macross entries for me though it had its strengths and the sequel film was a good watch.) 3/5, 3.5/5

Magical Circle Guru Guru episodes 1-8

Finally got around to watching The First Slam Dunk movie. It was quite good. I tried watching the tv series awhile back, but Sakuragi was just too annoying and goofy, so I didn't get very far and don't know much about it, compared to what was told in the movie.
