Urusei Yatsura ep 14
Showdown.

Spy Classroom ep 4 (dropped)
Misfortune.
After rushing through the introduction of 6 members and the first mission they go back to individual introductions like the first episode, but not of any of the 6! No, the 8th member that suddenly got introduced towards the end of the mission. I saw that the first mission was basically the first volume of the LN, so not much material to go on, but if you're advertising the series I think you can easily pad it out with proper introductions. As it is I know next to nothing about those 6 members apart from the skills that have been hinted at. If you gave me 6 pictures, a list of skills and names I wouldn't be able to put them together!

Ghost Sweeper Mikami the movie

An hour of fun and laughter. It's nice to see that the humour hasn't changed in 30 years.
I am assuming that Mikami's minidress is important for for movement during fights.

What do I want?
I want all 45 episodes in an Ultimate Edition with a door sized poster of Mikami.
 
Hunter X Hunter (2011) (English dubbed) Episodes 59-88 - The chimera ant arc is pretty dark at some points but it's holding my interest, this is the entirety of Blu-ray set 3 of the UK release :)
 
Testament of Sister New Devil Burst rewatch: will we ever see a third series explaining Basara's two mothers?

Nichijou episides 1-8: I think I need a lie-down to try and process what on earth is going on in this crazy series. A bemused smile for most of the time, with a couple of surprised bursts of laughter.

Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 S2 ep2-3 (Eng Dub)

Lupin III: Part 2 ep46-47 (Eng Dub)

Something else I think the newer series' struggle to recapture is the earlier shows' anarchic sense of humour- one of these eps starts off with Lupin prank calling Zenigata just for the hell of it, for example. I miss that.

Trigun Stampede ep4-5

Eh. I feel like I’m starting to get a better sense of what they’re doing here and, taken on its own merits it’s fine, but the original Trigun series had such a strong sense of its own identity that I find it hard not to keep comparing this new series to that.

Blue Period ep1

Was vaguely aware of this when it came out, but like so many Netflix anime, I think it just dropped off the radar. I’m a sucker for art-themed shows at the best of times, but this seems quite charming - it kind of makes me wish I was doing art classes again. It makes me wish I could afford to do art classes again. My only small criticism is that having the painting literally wink at the main character rather pulled me out of it.

Star Wars Visions Episodes 1 and 2 (Does this count as anime?)

Episode 1 was suprisingly good, I was skeptical looking at the CGI thumbnail on Disney+ but honestly I think the use of effects masked the CGI's issues most of the time, making it look pretty competent, which is extremely rare for anime CGI.

Episode 2 however was pretty bad; I couldn't help but cringe watching some of it and even decided to skip the rest as soon as the band started singing towards the end; from what I've heard I'm not the only one who dislikes this episode so hopefully the only way is up from here.
