Red Cliff Part 1
The John Woo historical film with Tony Leung.

Sasaki & Peeps
Episodes 1-7
At the start, I didn't think I'd want to binge a bit.

Reacher S2
As long as Reacher has a fight, I'm happy.
It does amuse me that streaming services set themselves up as different to normal television but release DVDs, have adverts and don't always drop whole series at once.

Villainess Level 99
Episodes 4-8
Can this be my greatest ever show (since the last time I said that).

Detective Conan episode 1135 Like before.

Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! episode 11 Out of line.

Monogatari Series: OFF & Monster Season ONA 10 Second homeland.

My Hero Academia 7th Season episode 156 Winning side.

Plus-Sized Elf episode 12 Talk down. (Complete. A premise that wore thin quickly and the characters weren’t all that interesting despite being varied in species.) 2.5/5

The Elusive Samurai episode 11 Cease.

The Fable episode 24 Bury.

Yatagarasu: The Raven Does not Choose its Master episode 20 Guard. (Complete. An engaging drama fantasy, and one I’m glad I gave a chance to last season.) 4/5

Toriko episodes 118-123, 126-129, 132-142
 
Terminator Zero ep1-5

Reserving judgment (day) until I reach the end, although thus far I’ve been much in agreement with what everyone else has said; the characters could do with being more engaging and they’re definitely playing the hits, but it’s well enough packaged that I haven’t been put off by that.
 
I saw Macross Plus Movie Edition at the cinema last night.

I suppose it's been about 25 years since I saw the OVAs on VHS when I was a young teenager. Going in, I hardly remembered anything about it - despite having two CD soundtracks that I've played to death over the years! (Same with Macross 7. It's been decades since I watched that show on VHS fansub, but I can still sing along phonetically to most of the songs, lol.)

So happy that I got to see it on the big screen. Gorgeous artwork, engrossing story, absolutely loved it. Looking forward for the blu-ray release so I can compare it to the OVA edition.
 
ATRI -My Dear Moments- Episode 11

Dahlia in Bloom: Crafting a Fresh Start with Magical Tools Episode 12 (Complete)

My Hero Academia Season 7 Episode 18

Plus-Sized Elf (Uncensored) Episode 12 (Complete)

Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World Episode 11
 
Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest episode 12 Seal.

Mission: Yozakura Family episode 25 DNA.

Narenare -Cheer for You!- episode 12 Afraid of fear. (Complete. This had its high and low points for me, and was ultimately rather forgettable.) 2.5/5

One Piece episode 1120 Killing shadow.

Tower of God Season 2 episode 12 Legs.

Toriko episodes 143-147 (Complete. This was a fun watch but felt toned down in places, reportedly censoring battles compared to the source material, which I intend to check out so at least the anime succeeded in that aspect and was still worth the time despite its flaws.) 3.5/5

Touch episodes 1-11
 
Terminator Zero ep6-8

Yeah, that was pretty good. Much as it’s blatantly borrowing from the first two only two films which were ever made, I think it does enough to feel like a distinct entity in its own right. It would be nice to feel a bit more attachment to the characters (a shiny penny to you if you can name all of Malcolm’s children without looking it up), but this is a good looking and surprisingly compelling action series, which I imagine would still play well, even if you haven’t seen any of the franchise before.

I like that actually, it would have been kinda neat.
 
Last night on Blu-ray:

First watch:
- Akiba Maid War Episode 1: I'm not really sure about this show. Nogomi, in my opinion, just has the wrong voice and the show didn't get me wanting to watch the next episode.

Rewatch:
  • Konosuba: Season 1 OVA
  • Konosuba: Season 2 Episode 2

Yunyun is such a joy to watch, especially with Kayli Mills' voice.
 
Dororo (2019, English dubbed) - This was amazing, and I liked how it tried to value non-violence without acting like everyone should just become a pacifist monk... it was a beautiful show and I'm glad I watched it, I wish all the best to Dororo and Hyakkimaru (warning that the violence is pretty grim in places definitely earned that 15 rating and I had to cover my ears and shut my eyes a few times) :)

I'm now watching Godannar (English dubbed), and I started watching Beastars S2 subbed but might continue it dubbed (def gonna watch it all, I love it, just a matter of picking which language to continue in!), hoping to finish these two and Mob Psycho 100 S3 soon! :)

I really really am looking forward to your review of Godannar. 😇
 
Delicious in Dungeon (dub) eps 1-3
If I had been watching it weekly (actually did Netflix do it weekly or was dropped in one go?) and not heard the hype post airing I might have dropped this at the end of the these 3 episodes. Amusing enough and nice art and animation, but at the moment it's just the same thing happening over and over. I saw one YouTube video thumbnail claiming that it is up there with Frieren, but that grabbed me straight away.
 
Shy Season 2 Episode 24 Reassurance. (Complete. Despite being pretty much more of the same, I did find this to be a somewhat stronger outing than the first.) 3/5

Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf Episode 25 The Journey continues. (Complete... for now. A solid first season for this adaptions retelling - for which I'll definitely be watching the second season.) 4/5

The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible Episode 12 Trading blows. (Complete. Though nothing special this was a fine watch overall with it's varied core cast of characters.) 3/5
