BanG Dream! Ave Mujica: The Die is Cast episodes 1-13 (Complete. Not as good as the preceding series for me overall.) 3/5
Can definitely agree on it not quite reaching MyGO's level but I found Ave Mujica to be a better weekly experience. Never would've expected this kind of story from the franchise. Really looking forward to season 3 (supposedly titled Our Notes) plus the Mugendai Mewtype series.
 
Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express (dub) eps 1-12 (complete)
Series of 3 minute episodes on YouTube about a group of criminals put on community service in which they have to clean an interplanetary train, except it takes off leaving them trapped inside.
It's quite funny and even in such a short run time you get to know the characters. Animation is pretty good, especially a couple of scenes with action choreographed to music although not a particular fan of the style.
7/10


Playlist:
 
Li'l Miss Vampire Can't Suck Right Episode 12 Presents. (Complete. A decent supernatural-fantasy outing that portrays an endearing relationship between the central pair that made this a seasonal standout for myself.) 3.5/5

One Punch Man Season 3
Episode 12 One Punch K.O. (Complete... for now. Coming away from this, there is hardly anything positive that can be said about OPM S3 - which doesn’t give me much hope for cour 2.) 1/5
 
Been quite a while but I'm making a return to the forum to better track my anime watching. Absolutely failed in my attempt to tackle the collection this year but I'm feeling locked in this time. Since yesterday I've watched:

Ninja Scroll
Great action and animation as expected from a Yoshiaki Kawajiri film. Could've done with more time developing the characters and extending the fight scenes, some of which felt like they were over as soon as they begun. Likely blasphemous but it'll be interesting to see how the TV version fares in this aspect.

Wandering Witch: The Journey of Elaina - episodes 9-12
It's no Kino's Journey but it's still a fun fantasy style take on the country-of-the-week formula.

Vlad Love - episodes 3-7

Dark Gathering - episode 3

One Piece episode 1155 Onwards. This will be seasonal from next year but MAL hasn’t marked the initial run as complete quite yet.

One-Punch Man Season 3 episode 36 So-and-so. (Complete. Production issues for this have resulted in the weakest season to date and I’m inclined to switch over to the manga at this point.) 2/5

Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy
ONAs 1-13, Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy Part 2 ONAs 14-22
 
Saturday

Spy x Family (Season 3) (Japanese)
- Episode 48 - 49

Cat's Eye (2025) (Japanese) - Episode 7

Sunday

Spy x Family (Season 3) (Japanese)
- Episode 50 (Complete)

This was another great season of Spy x Family. I really enjoyed the plots covered during this season a lot from the flashback, to the bus jacking, to the plot of the final couple of episodes. Fiona Frost had a standout moment for me at the end as well, I've come to find her more entertaining as the series has continued and has become one of my favourite side characters.

One Punch Man (Season 3) (Japanese) - Episode 9 - 10
 
I was feeling somewhat 'Gentlemanly' today, so I watched:

Hands Off Sawaranaide Kotesashi-kun (Uncensored) Episodes 1-12(End). Oh, the dexterity of his fingers and hands...

Yandere Dark Elf: She Chased Me All the Way From Another World! (Uncensored) Episodes 1-5. I loves me some dark elves, so I just had to check out this anime uncensored - I do really like Bell, even if she is a bit too much on the busty side for my tastes.

I also checked out a much less revealing title:

Hero Without a Class: Who Even Needs Skills?! Episodes 1-3.
 
Rebuild of Evangelion Movies 1 -4
A rewatch for the first couple movies from years back, but finally got round to watching the final 2 movies from my backlog.

Still a bit confusing if you blink and miss something in the background
 
Neon Genesis Evangelion Ep 1 - 26
Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion
Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion: 2.0 You Can (Not) Advance
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time


My end of year break task has been completed. First time watcher and what a journey. I liked the original ending, messy as it is, hated EoE ending, loved Rebuild 1+2, was really disappointed with Rebuild 3 (I get it's meant to be confusing but it should still be its own complete story!) and Rebuild 4 is nothing short of a masterpiece.
 
Milky☆Highway (complete)
The original YouTube short episode that spawned Milky☆Subway. Apparently it was a student project. It shows the event that lead to 2 of the characters from Subway getting arrested.
The same use of sound and music and timing the animation to it is there already.
6/10 (6 feels a bit low, but seems weird to score it the same as the longer season and putting that up to 8 to make this 7 would be a (slight) step too far)

 
A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace episode 13 Face-to-face. (Complete. An enjoyable watch each week and I’d welcome another season.) 3.5/5

Bastard!! Heavy Metal, Dark Fantasy Part 2
ONAs 23-24 (Complete. Much like the OVA series this lives up to its title and was rather entertaining and a change of pace.) 3.5/5, 3.5/5

Blade Dance of the Elementalers
episodes 1-12 & Specials (Complete. This felt rather generic but wasn’t offensively bad, and was very middling overall.) 2.5/5

Brynhildr in the Darkness
episodes 1-8
