On-Gaku: Crazy but fun. I think I enjoyed the long stretches where nothing happens the most. And the wild recorder.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime season 2.2: Good continuation of the series but how long will the wait be for series 3 (at least the movie has been released in cinemas).
Update: oh unfair! The first extra on disc 2 that I watched, Valdora's Journal, should be watched before the first episode in this set as it's a recap of the first half of the series from the vainglorious eaten dragon.

El-Hazard Episode 1: So far it's ok, I wasn't expecting it to be around 45 minutes, the setting is pretty cool and I think some of the music was also pretty good as well but I'm not a fan of how some of the scenes are riddled with rather typical anime bathos, I've seen so much isekai by now that something has to be different in order to wow me, here's hoping that something comes soon.

Chainsaw Man ep 12 - Really enjoyed it! Since my wobbly brain can only seem to focus on one type of media at a time (one anime series, one game, one TV series, etc) I am now looking forward to continuing with Jujutsu Kaisen so I can get season 1 finished

Bibliophile Princess Eps 9-12 (End): I enjoyed this shojo series quite a bit. I saw many people were complaining about the story getting too political between the Royalty and the Barons of other regions, but that was the main interest for me - all the underhandedness going on in the kingdom and how it affected the fiance princess Eliana and in turn the kindom and it's relations with the other regions. She was a little more helpless in some situations than I would have liked her to be, but still overall it was a good series. A second season would be great but I somewhat doubt that will be comng, as this series did not seem to be overly popular. 8.5/10
Spy x Family Ep 25 (End): I finished this series with my mother. She really loves this series, although I thought it was pretty much up and down, so it was just an OK series for me. I do love Yor, though, she makes the series for me. 6.5/10
Reincarnated as a Sword Eps 11-12 (End). This was a fun series, way better than I thought it would be, especially when it's very heavy on gaming, which I usually do not go for in anime. But, I do like Isekai set in a fantasy world. Cat girl Fran is such a cutie, too. Looking forward to the second season of this one. 8/10
Toka Gettan: The Moonlight Lady Returns Eps 1-2. A little confusing yet as to what all is going on, because I read that the episodes are presented in a reverse order, but this looks like it could be very interesting. At least HIDIVE is releasing 2 episodes per week for this one. The Bu-ray is already available from Sentai, but I held off on getting it until I can watch some of the series first.
Drowning Sorrows in Raging Fire Eps 6-7. Finally continuing on with this donghua, I'm liking this one, interesting and very unusual supernatural drama, it seems to switch between modern and period times - and it's such a Bishy-fest for the ladies, lol. I just hope it stays fairly tame as it has so far on the BL though, as that is not my cup of tea. I already have the Funi/Crunchy Blu-ray for this, but I figured I'd finish watching it streaming first.

Chainsaw Man ep 12 (complete)
Ain't that a kick in the nuts.
After all the hype I can only assume that the director aimed this squarely at the manga readers and forget he was making an anime to entice people to read the manga or this "story" just isn't for me [insert "I'm too old for this ****" meme]
As an anime only what I saw was:
No likeable characters with shallow/tropey/non-existent motivations and, ironically, with so many flashbacks not very well fleshed out in other ways either. World building was poor with no explanation of where these devils came from with a thin plot including no sense of a final goal, after killing the current devil they're chasing that is, who's power seems way OTT compared to what the other devils can do! Talking of powers, there were a few a**e pulls with previously undisclosed powers being used by the "heroes". And then there's the humour, some of it is chuckle worthy, but the rest either falls flat or is disgusting (I hate gross out comedy!)
All this with a glacial pacing. The director seemed to want to make it feel cinematic with loads of angles of nothing which could easily be done in live action and thus not taking advantage of the medium they are working in and there was an almost complete lack of action, which mostly looked "off" because of the cg, in a supposedly "action" show! The colour pallette was also a bit on the drab side. Some of the VA work didn't help either with some sounding like they were comatose when reading their lines!

You and me both - one look at the listing and I knew right away I needn't go anywhere near that kind of drivel, so I didn't even give it a second glance. Love to see such a glowing review of an over-hyped popular anime! Usually that's what people rate my favorite off-the-beaten-path anime I always prefer, lol!

Episodes 6,7,8
Mage is my favourite character. She's the most well developed. I like that a story is complete with a proper ending. Unlike most anime.
Edit: hang on I think all the jiggling has hypnotized me.
That time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
S2 Part 2 episodes 7,8,9 .
Simple enjoyment.
Best fanservice in order

I didn’t even like the manga, so gave the anime a miss. I found the MC completely unlikeable

That time I was Reincarnated as a Slime.
Breach of etiquette earlier in numbering.
Episodes 46-48 finished.
I've watched this in 2 sittings.
I don't usually binge watch as I'm old and like to parcel them out 1 or 2 episodes a week. Like the old days. I can still remember staying in every Thursday to watch Buffy, even I could record it. For 7 years. And how exciting it was.
Loved the last few fights. Lots of laugh out moments (for me) in episode 47 and 12.
Hope it continues.

Great that you can watch anime with your mum. The only animated series I've made her like, probably through osmosis, is Family Guy.
She is 80 but up for some rude, crude, offensive humour.

My Mum was brought up with Benny Hill and the Carry On films. I've told her that that last place in the world to see that type of humour is Anime.
I'll keep trying.

OMG I friggin' loved Buffy, great show! My mum will watch pretty much anything I put on but ofc connects more with some shows and movies than others
Also have you seen Archer?

Strangely I didn't like Angel (is he a man?) as much.OMG I friggin' loved Buffy, great show! My mum will watch pretty much anything I put on but ofc connects more with some shows and movies than others
I believe that the audience of Buffy was more male than female and Angel was the opposite.
Except the last episode, top class ending.
My Mum watches want I want because when I visit, I get control of the remote.
Highlights from her favourite episode. I love watching her tap her foot to the music and giggle.
Archer, yes but it doesn't get repeats on UK TV. What's bad about a daft James Bond.

Ah, Buffy and Angel. How I wish they'd release them on Blu-Ray (or better quality DVD's with decent bl**dy menu options).
Anyway, Future Boy Conan episodes 14-26. And it's all wrapped up nicely. Love conquers all and the evil Lepka gets his just desserts. I did find it strange that, despite needing Lana alive to use as a hostage for her grandfather's knowledge, Lepka and his henchmen did fire a LOT of bullets and bombs directly at her.
