A Couple of Cuckoos Season 2 episode 11 Panicked.

Mr. Osomatsu 4th Season episode 11 Same but different.

Turkey! Time to Strike episode 11 First.

Red Riding Hood Chacha episodes 69-74 & OVAs 1-3 (Complete. Another charming adventure comedy fantasy outing that didn’t wear itself out despite being a lengthier series.) 3.5/5, 3.5/5

RIN-NE
episodes 1-2
 
Hell Teacher: Jigoku Sensei Nube episode 12 Pull.

Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon Season 2 episode 12 Final request. (Complete. As peculiar as the premise continues to be I found the overall execution for this second season, like the first, fairly harmless and easy to watch on a weekly basis, and I won’t deny plans to watch the third season when it comes either.) 3/5

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4
episode 61 Duel and drink.

RIN-NE episodes 3-14
 
Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze (English Dub) Episode 9

Dealing with Mikadono Sisters Is a Breeze Episode 12 Comeback win. (Complete. A series that despite being a mixed bag, had the potential to be better than it actually was only to be dragged down by other characters.) 2.5/5

I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince Season 2 (English Dub)
Episode 21


I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince Season 2 Episode 23 Song and Sins.

New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt (English Dub) Episode 11 Crossovers.

New Saga Episode 12 Cliffhanger. (Complete. For a fantasy anime, this has been one of the most lacklustre that I've seen and not likely to ever rewatch again.) 2/5

The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4 (English Dub)
Episode 60 Fulfill.
 
Super Electromagnetic Robot Combattler V - Episodes 30 - 37

You can clearly see Brave Raideen's DNA in Combattler V with the way Nagahama builds on the 'human drama' elements from Raideen but also Tomino's comedy touches as well.

Kaiju No. 8 - Episode 21

The last few episodes have felt rather unfocussed in the general direction of the story but hopefully they're part of building towards a cohesive conclusion.

Zetsuai 1989

I knew nothing about this before watching it and it's really not my thing but I did like some of the 90's artwork.

Camelot of Love and Swords

This was a fun OVA, very simple (and a bit silly tbh) and it entertained me for 45 minutes. The animation and artwork was interesting, clearly anime but just different.

Eternal 831

This was very disappointing. It was sooo dull and had very lazy use of exposition in latter part of the film. I think Kenji Kamiyama's TV work is fantastic but he does seem to struggle with creating films. The animation was horrible as well, the character movement was very unnatural and I found it distracting.

Bubblegum Crisis - Episodes 5-6

These two episodes directed by Masami Obari are the two best episodes of Bubblegum Crisis imho.

DAN DA DAN 2nd Season episode 24 Unexpected insider. (Complete. Much like the first season I thought this was solid enough, and with that cliffhanger am interested in seeing that will come from season 3.) 3.5/5

Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 2
episode 23 Good work.

Solo Camping for Two! episode 11 Hunting down a dream.

RIN-NE episodes 15-25, RIN-NE Season 2 episode 26
 
Dr. STONE: Science Future Episode 23 Hard work.

Solo Caming for Two Episode 11 Dream hunting.

The Water Magician Episode 11 Bandits.


Welcome to the Outcast's Restaurant! Episode 12 Back in business. (Complete. Though this wasn't anything special, this was still an enjoyable watch with what it had to offer.) 3/5
 
The Brilliant Healer's New Life in the Shadows
Finished
Easy going overpowered MC show. Nice little conspiracy. I don't know if it was meant as a joke but I liked the MC wanting to stay in the shadows but telling everyone he's an underground healer.

From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman
Finished
I thought he was already a Master Swordsman!
He's not that old.
I read some complaints about the harem and the age difference. I didn't see it unreasonable for the women to have feelings for someone who had an impact on their lives.
Lots of fights.
 
Call of the Night Season 2 episode 25 Talking time. (Complete. A very good second season overall and one of the seasonal highlights.) 4/5

Secrets of the Silent Witch
episode 11 Assassin.

TOUGEN ANKI episode 11 Rooming.

RIN-NE Season 2 episodes 27-50
 
April Showers Bring May Flowers Episode 12

Call of the Night Season 2 (English Dub) Episode 16

Call of the Night Season 2 Episode 25 (Complete. Just like with season 1 this was a very good continuation and a standout from the summer season.) 4/5

Secrets of the Silent Witch
Episode 11

Watari-kun's ****** Is About to Collapse Episode 12
 
My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 Episode 24 Fangirl. (Complete. Another solid season of MD-UD that continues to impress with its expanded cast paving the way for a possible 3rd season, Definitely my AOTS.) 4.5/5

Private Tutor to the Duke's Daughter
Episode 12 Duel. (Complete. A fine outing with its likeable cast of characters that made this an enjoyable watch.) 3.5/5

Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus Episode 12 Forgotten.

Scooped Up by an S-Rank Adventurer! Episode 12 Choice. (Complete. Though this was okay, the only irk I have against this is for not following the source material properly.) 3/5

The Shy Hero and the Assassin Princesses Episode 12 The Journey Continues. (Complete. A fun and enjoyable concept though I did find the MC's repeated "fainting shtick" overused and unnecessary.) 3/5
 
It's here Gigguk's anime is now on YouTube:
Bâan - The Boundary of Adulthood (dub)
An isekai/reverse isekai following a character from our world moving to a fantasy world and another going the other way.
I felt story wise the reverse isekai was the weaker half (she leaves home for some reason, fails to adapt and just gives up a goes home again!), but as a short there's not much time to establish much. It's very pretty and the animation is very good and the soundtrack is by Kevin Penkin (need I say more? OK, it's beautiful!)
7/10
Has a Japanese track for those that prefer subs. Original story is by Garnt, but the screenplay was written by a Japanese person:
 
Anne Shirley episode 23 Graduation.

Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 episode 22 Fatal flaw.

My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 episode 24 Event. (Complete. An enjoyable second season but the last few episodes weren’t quite as good overall for me.) 3.5/5

Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus
episode 12 Respecting elders.

RIN-NE Season 3 episodes 51-72
