052 Episodes - Looking for the Full Moon (English dubbed) - This was a beautiful series that I got a lot out of and I'm really glad I watched it, I also liked the dub just fine though the VA for the girl shinigami could be a lil shrill sounding sometimes, but yeah, overjoyed to have finally watched this, the themes and characters were really interesting and I actually wrote a poem inspired by it, feel like the mc was loyal to a fault though, it was so many years since her childhood love had contacted her! 
024 Episodes - My Love Story (English dubbed) (REWATCH) - With my lovely boyfriend, we both really enjoyed watching a cute shoujo anime together OMG dream come true and we've been dating for almost 10 months now! This is a really cute, wholesome anime, Takeo is awesomely kind and I love Rinko (adorable and her talent with baking is amazing!) and Sunakawa as well, such a nice cosy heartwarming series
012 Episodes - Sing “Yesterday” For Me (English dubbed) - Apparently this one was a bit divisive? I found it very enjoyable though and I'm glad I watched it, endearing set of characters, and it made me want to check out the manga too, the pet crow/raven thing was so cool as well lol
012 Episodes - My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! Season 1 (English dubbed) - So cute and funny, love how everyone is bi for Bakarina
There are quite a few Villainess anime out there now, and while as with most distaff counterparts the market isn't as oversaturated as for the spear equivalent of overpowered male mc isekai, I can see why not everyone will be up for watching every last one out there, but I think this was one of the earlier ones in the current trend, and as such perhaps avoids potentially feeling too stale, not that there are no newer Villainess anime worth watching, but yes this was very entertaining, and I am going to seek out and watch S2 and the film at some point given how much I enjoyed S1
070 Episodes - Cardcaptor Sakura (English subbed) (REWATCH) - So sweet and cute and lovely, if a bit of a hard sell due to the moderately glacial pacing and lack of a good, uncut English dub version to make it easier to power through in the background, but I am really glad I finished rewatching this, the art and animation really really stand out on Blu-ray, my fave characters are Tomoyo (who is crushing it as an awesome 9 year old lesbian, big respect) and Yukito (OMG it's Shinji's seiyuu Megumi Ogata fangirls like mad) but I loved everyone, I will rewatch the two films and Clear Card S1 soon (I think S2 came out but not seen yet def wanna see that too)
022 Episodes - Assassination Classroom Season 1 (English dubbed) (REWATCH) - With Friend A who had not seen it before, god I love this show, such a fun premise and characters, Koro-sensei is so funny I got a figurine of him! I love how he brings out the best in every student and I wish more teachers were more like him (as in, inspiring and kind, the alien octopus-like creature aspect is secondary)
We will prob get to S2 eventually, but we are currently very slowly working our way through the delightful live-action US series Pushing Daisies
027 Episodes - Tsurune Season 1-2+OVA (English subbed) - I watched most of Season 1 with my PA during his shifts with me as he really liked the early bits he saw, he does martial arts and thought the series did a really good job portraying the psychological/mental aspects of it, dub was ok but sub much better so I/we watched subbed, I ended up watching S2 mostly without him though cuz I got a bit frustrated about waiting to have the time to watch it with him, but it was nice that he got really into S1 at least. Art and animation were gorgeous as you'd expect from KyoAni, and I really dug this series and hugely preferred it to Free!, not bashing that show or it's fans but I felt like Tsurune was a bit more elegant and subtle, the OVA wasn't very good IMO as these kind of silly side story episodes go but I loved the main series, my understanding is that the film is a recap/compilation so I won't bother watching it, but yeah great show!
048 Episodes - Mobile Suit Gundam SEED HD Remaster (NYAV Post English dubbed) - I really really dug this, I prob won't watch the other entries in the franchise given their relatively less favourable reception, but I loved this first entry in the franchise and I will likely at least attempt a rewatch with the older English dub at some point to see what I make of that too
022 Episodes - Natsume’s Book of Friends Seasons 5-6 (English dubbed) - So tender and warm, love this series and Nyanko-sensei's antics are always so funny, enjoying the gradual development of the narrative as well
036 Episodes - Honey and Clover (English subbed) (REWATCH) - Long overdue for a full rewatch, this holds up really well and it was great to revisit it as a 37 year old adult after first watching it as at most an early 20-something, it's honestly beautiful and amazing and I think it helped me feel like being creative again after an extended slump (pic below, I crocheted a smol whale and now I'm making a bigg chonky bee!)
