A great fantasy film from Studio Khara. Animation and visuals were fantastic and reminds me a lot of the style of the Rebuild films. Would be cool to see what kind of stuff Khara can produce once they're done with the Rebuild series.

Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb (Film) Stanley Kubrick’s 1964 satirical black comedy boasts multiple roles from Peter Sellers and George C. Scott on typically fine form. Slim Pickens is entertaining also and there’s an early film appearance from James Earl jones too.
Chaika -The Coffin Princess- episodes 7-12 (Complete. A fun fantasy romp featuring a likeable lead-who often shares the lead role with the somewhat bland Toru- with some interesting goings on and conflicts to keep the story moving. Onto the second cour.) 3.5/5
Chaika -The Coffin Princess- Avenging Battle episodes 13-22 & OVA (Complete. A decent continuation though the minor issues I had with the first half still remain. That being said, the story did see some interesting developments and a solid climax and conclusion. The OVA was average with some fanservice flare.) 3.5/5

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (English Dub) Episode 7
The 8th Son? Are You Kidding Me? (English Dub) Episode 7
Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun (English Dub) Episode 22
Armed Girl's Machiavellism (Rewatch) Episode 1-12 & OVA (Complete. Upon rewatch my opinions on this series really haven't changed. It is still a fun watch with its solid cast of characters and orientated battle action.) 3.5/5
Gleipnir Episode 13 Memory manipulation. (Complete. Supernatural shape shifting with a really interesting story accompanied by a darker undertone that made for some rather explicit viewing and poignancy that contrasted well with some of the characters personalities.) 3.5/5
Hanayamata (Rewatch) Episode 1-12 (Complete. On rewatch this still remains one of my favourite SoL series to date with it's charmingly loveable cast of characters and beautiful visuals to go along side the traditional yosakoi dancing.) 3.5/5
If Her Flag Breaks Episode 1-13 & OVA (Complete. A harem series chocked full of tropes which was a little bit slow to get going story wise, but manages to recover thanks to some decent action and improvement to the story in the second half. Overall this was pretty entertaining.) 3/5
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War 2nd Season Episode 24 Photo's and Going out with a Big Bang. (Complete. Another fun solid season with more of the same mind games. At least the comedy aspect was improved upon from season 1 thanks to the expanded cast of characters.) 4/5
Shachibato! President, It's Time for Battle! Episode 12 Questions and Answers. (Complete. This may not have been a standout series but at least it was surprisingly fun and endearing throughout, though I do feel that the fanservice was unnecessary.) 3/5

It is a solid representation of all the problems with the romance genre for me, which is insanely cheesy when you actually stop to think about it for a few seconds. But at least it was fun that the main guy (already forgot his name sadly) chose to drown tokyo to save his girlfriend. It's similar to the Heaven's Feel dilema but with the moral implications and deep soul searching hand waved because "aww dey in love."
But besides that it was well animated, well told and the artwork was gorgeous so solid 7 out of 10. Ultimately I greatly prefer Your Name for it's cosmic implications which weren't entirely centered on the power of love.
TLDR It's kind of a sweet story but once you get past that you realise that actually it's kind of stupid. They should have pulled a Penguin Highway and explored the wierd phenomenon instead of it being a simple plot device to bring two teenagers together.

I can't say I've ever actually read any opinion of Gungrave before, but I'd have to guess that the criticism probably comes from the fact that the Brandon and Harry origin story is by far the best part of the series. The present-day stuff just can't hope to match up to it, I don't think.
But yeah, I'm a fan of Gungrave too, on balance.
I meant to come back to these before, dude, so please forgive my slowness! But, yeah... I...
Bloody hell I love this film.
I'd better not even get started.
I will say that the first film does actually have quite a bit of new stuff too. Simon's rescue of Nia is very different, and the whole Four Generals arc is condensed into one big climactic battle royale. Yoko engages in some hand-to-hand combat with Adiane (the scorpion woman) as well, which I thought was pretty gripping stuff.
There's a lot of very clever streamlining in it, I think, but, like you said about the condensing, Team Gurren's meeting with the Black Siblings and with Rossiu being reduced to a soundtracked montage kinda dulls the effect, unfortunately.
Parallel Works unfortunately remains a bit of a mixed bag for me; I think I'd really anticipated that I'd be a lot more into it than I am. The ones I like best, though, are "Kittan Zero", which is a story idea for how Kittan acquired his Gunmen robot; the Lordgenome backstory one; and the last one, which is like a mini-documentary demonstrating how Gunmen work.

Princess Connect! Re: Dive episode 13 Memories Fade. (Complete. Laidback and a lot of fun whilst also allowing for some more serious moments especially near the conclusion.) 3.5/5
Woodpecker Detective’s Office episode 12 (Complete. A mixed bag in terms of story and lacking many characters that were all that likeable. Some of the mysteries were somewhat interesting, especially the final episode, but otherwise this just felt uneven and lacking in either charm or much intrigue.) 2.5/5

Yu Yu Hakusho ep3-6
This is fine, it's reasonably paced so far and has some entertaining story beats, but it suffers the familiar problem where I find the side characters more interesting than the main. I think I might rotate it out to something else for a while, probably Ghost Sweeper Mikami.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War S2 ep2-3
Kind of feels like the end of the year should have been the S1 finale? Fool Kaguya is pretty great anyway.
