I started both Sonny Boy and a rewatch of Xam’d: Lost Memories last night.
I often hear anime fans complain there’s no good anime getting made anymore and to that I say, “Have you seen Sonny Boy?” It rules. Go watch Sonny Boy.

I just completed my rewatch of Xam'd: Lost Memories. It’s an underrated fantasy anime series about an idyllic peaceful island getting caught up in a war between two nations. While it echoes Bones other famous series Eureka Seven, it seems to borrow more from Hayao Miyazaki’s Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. Despite those influences, Masayuki Miyaji (in his directorial debut) manages to give Xam'd it’s own distinctive look and feel. While the first half of the series is quite strong in setting up it’s world and characters, the second is a precarious balancing act of ambitious storytelling that’s a little uneven.

Encouragement of Climb: Next Summit
A great conclusion to the series. The original manga looks to be ongoing past this but Yusuke Yamamoto and Eight Bit found a good spot to end the series feeling like a complete package. The initial 4 recap episodes were also a nice touch given the 4 year gap between seasons. Aoi's development throughout the series has been fun to watch and the production is also pretty strong with some great character animation and episode directors. Hope to see a complete series set from Sentai in the future.
 
Bullbuster episode 10 Sold short.

Heaven’s Official Blessing Season 2 episode 6 Trying for calm.

The Eminence in Shadow Season 2 episode 30 Your dream.

Uma Musume: Pretty Derby Season 3 episode 10 Winded.

Kamen no Maid Guy episodes 1-12 & OVA (Complete. A fanservice-fuelled comedy that though fun did wear its premise a bit thin.) 3/5

Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne
episodes 1-11
 
Bullbuster ep2-5

Given the typical strike rate for new mecha series in recent years (by which I mean those not linked to an established IP), I think I was a little unfairly dismissive of Bullbuster’s first episode, but it’s rather grown on me. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s hitting its marks pretty consistently and it’s starting to feel like it’s got a bit of personality to it.
 
This Art Club Has A Problem episodes 1-9: silly stories about a school art club. Mizuki has a fevered imagination about her chances with Uchimaki and she's quite violent when embarrassed (all the time). It's kept me chuckling away with its light-hearted fluffy humour.
 
The Eminence in Shadow 2nd Season (English Dub) Episode 30 Dream.

Dr. STONE: New World Part 2 Episode 20 Aftermath.

I'm Giving the Disgraced Noble Lady I Rescued a Crash Course in Naughtiness Episode 10 First impressions.

My Daughter Left the Nest and Returned an S-Rank Adventurer Episode 11 Distracted.

Rascal Does Not Dream of a Sister Venturing Out (Film) Another fine sequel installment to the series. 3.5/5

This Art Club Has A Problem episodes 10-12: Nice ending to the series. Would like a second series.

Amagi Brilliant Park episode 1-: Just starting this series. Weird first episode but it looks like it could be interesting.
