Marathoned Blue Period recently (a slice of life set in high school done well). Can't believe I almost skipped this last season. It brings a lot of life to art, motivation, and doing what you love above all else.
Currently watching for winter 2022:
Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san 3
Sasaki to Miyano
Attack on Titan Final Season Part 2
My Dress-Up Darling
...and somehow forgot Yuru Camp 2 was a thing so going to start that soon - loved the first season and gives me the itch to do a day or overnight camping trip.
Get ready to transform! Attack on Titan the final season part two episode two is here.
Eren continues to battle against the enemy Marley titans. Zeke shows up in titan form and takes out the Marley airships. Armin and friends decide to help Eren out for now. Just when it seems like Eren and Zeke are about to come into contact, Zeke gets hit by a sneak attack and falls off the wall to the ground. With Eren about to reach Zeke anyway, it’s up to Reiner to stop him. Just how will this battle conclude?
Next time on Attack on Titan the final season, episode 78. “Two Brothers”. You won’t want to miss it!

i have a lot of anime to catch up on including my hero academia and demon slayer, but i wanted to share my hype for attack on titan season 4 part 2!! the new intro is amazing, i have been listening to it on repeat all day i cant wait for next weeks episode, but i also feel a little sad that the show is almost over after all these years :c
im really curious and nervous to see what erens plan is for using the founding titans power. thinking back on erens past behaviors, i think he will come up with his own plan rather than just follow zekes infertility plan. i agree with armin that theres no need for eren to let anyone know he has a different wish for the founding titans power since ultimately it can only be decided by him (assuming he doesnt get eaten by someone else lol). i realize that hosting a titan, especially the founding titan, can change how people think and what they want, but i think eren will try to do something that saves everyone without ending eldians existence. if the founding titans power can even change anatomy, then cant he just make it so eldians dont turn into titans?? not sure thats what he would want, but is it possible? either way i hope the rumbling happens and a bunch of giant wall titans are released to walk around and be all scary because it seems awesome and it seems like thats what the new intro is showing in some parts. also! i cant wait for annie to return!! its been so long. oh and levi seemed pretty alive based on how hange jumped in the river with him.. wonder whats gonna happen with that. maybe he will get turned into a titan too to save his life? maybe the jaw, armored, or cart titan since theyre in town now?
I watched the first episode of "My Dress Up Darling" the other day. I mostly watch anime from the early to mid 2010s, so seeing the early 2020s artstyle took some getting used to (especially the tiny noses and brighter colors). It's been a really sweet show so far, although it is a bit predictable. I'm looking forward to the later episdoes!
I just finished watching the most recent episode of AoT and, man, I can't wait until the next one. Even though I've read all the manga, I still enjoy and look forward to the anime so much. <3 Definitely one of my favourite series!
I just read it...IM SO HAPPY AAA I've been shipping them for so long I'm so glad it's finally canon!! Their dynamic just brings me happiness I love themm I def needed this after the last few chapters lol

I just finished Komi Can't Communicate and Blue Period. I love both so much and I got a bit upset that the current season is already over lol
Still gotta watch the movie and latest season of Demon Slayer
I finished up Aggretsuko season 4 today, as I had planned. It wasn't my favorite season. That was season 1 because that was when I really empathized with Retsuko the most, but it wasn't my least favorite either, which was season 3. Since the focus was back in the office again, I felt more connected to the characters again.
I've witnessed multiple layoffs before so I really felt terrible for Kabae when she was being forced out. I've heard leadership use some of those same lines about children to make parents feel guilty for not being as productive or using their time off that they are entitled to and have earned through years of loyalty to the company.
I feel similarly about S4. It was a really short season?? and it seemed very Haida-focused despite Haida being a super sandbag (imo). It kinda made me forget that Aggretsuko was a story about Retsuko at her desk job.
I watched Komi and Blue Period recently too! I'm excited for the new season of Komi. I love seeing all of their school shenanigans

I also really liked Komi Can't Communicate, and I'm super excited for the next season. Komi and Tadano are both adorable and overall its a very feel-good show.
As for Aggretsuko season 4, I also just finished it up, and while it wasn't my favorite season, I felt like something dramatic and sorta big to the company was supposed to happen to keep the plot going. I did miss Retsuko going to karaoke often with Washimi and Gori, though. Even though this season wasn't great, I'm still looking forward to season 5 and I hope it will be a lot less dark. (Seriously, that scene with ton at the train was a little too real.)
Isn't season 4 of Aggretsuko a bit longer than some of the others? I remember comparing the minutes.
I think I might've liked it more than season 3 (I think I agree with @LadyDestani that it's my least favorite) because of how grounded it is to reality but at the same time it was less memorable. There were a lot of things that, while not as personally relatable, I've heard happen. I live in Japan and I was really surprised at how quickly the person I watched it with accurately predicted what was going on/what would happen next because of how realistic it is. Maybe a little too realistic. He was really scared of the new director and kept sucking in air and saying, "Ugh, that happens..." haha.
This season felt like it was aimed more at Japanese people which, considering that almost the entire fanbase is foreign, seems like a bit of a misstep. I've noticed some reviews online that didn't understand certain parts/decisions characters made and I feel like it might be due to cultural difference. Slight spoiler: Yes, that room they put Ton in is a real thing in Japan. Idk how they translated it, the "room where employees who cannot be fired are sent to encourage resignation." In Japan it is legally very difficult to fire people from fulltime jobs. (That security comes at the cost of other benefits though) You can't just fire someone because they're doing a bad job. So, instead, companies will often either ask the person to quit or put them in the "banishment room" like Ton to drive them crazy or demote them to something really awful to force them to quit on their own. Not to say every company does this but I want to point out that this isn't just an anime thing.
But, even though I liked how realistic it was as a show I didn't think it was as enjoyable as some of the earlier seasons. Still looking forward to the next season!
I finished Naruto Shippuden season five, and even though the focus of the season is supposed to be Yukimaru and Guren, Tobi and Deidara really stole the show. The antics between those two are hilarious.
On a more serious note, I find it regrettable how Naruto and company basically just gave up and let the Akatsuki take the Three-Tails. Like… okay then… you didn’t want to try sealing it one more time?
Finally got around to watching Stone Ocean. I wasn't aware it had been adapted until I saw Netflix pushing it. It's not my favorite season, but I'm having fun with it. I'm a little sad there's not a new cast of male characters for me to crush over
Finished both Uchouten Kazoku 1 and 2! Definitely an interesting series that leaves a lot to think about. Watched for the Frog and finished for the Fluffballs.
The entire show left me feeling kinda melancholy/bittersweet. There was a really sad undertone that I kept getting, despite the chaotic comedy and the soft, sweet parts.
I think season 1 was paced better. I liked that some of the side characters I was curious about were developed a bit more in season 2, but overall I think season two should have had maybe 2 more episodes to pace out some of the moments or develop some of the more mysterious characters. I feel like at the end of season 2, I still don't understand any of Benten's feelings or motivations, even though I want to understand her the most out of all the characters in the series.
Just finished watching Kimetsu no Yaiba episodes 7 and 8. Wow. This fight is spectacular. ♥
The final 2 episodes of Eighty-Six have been delayed to March. That's a pretty long wait. And I'll wait patiently. This season I'm continuing with One Piece, Vanitas no Karte and Hanyou no Yashahime. New series I've picked up are Tribe Nine (fantasy extreme baseball), Sabikui Bisco (fantasy action), Saiyuki Reload Zeroin (only for saiyuki fans because it will not make any sense to anyone else), Tokyo 24-ku (futuristic action), Baraou no Souretsu (Shakespearean tragedy anime style) and Sasaki to Miyano (BL rom-com).
We are on an anime roll this year! Just started March Comes In Like a Lion.
I feel like the last Shaft studio anime I watched was Arakawa Under the Bridge S1... This one doesn't yet feel very Shaft-y yet (I'm thinking Shin Sekai Yori, Madoka, and Bakemonogatari-like visuals. lots of unconventional and artistic scene shots!). This one's much tamer in comparison, I think.
The vibe reminds me a bit of Chihayafuru while the art reminds me of a classic late 2000s early 2010s shoujo manga. I love it so far!
Get ready to transform! Attack on Titan the final season part two episode three is here.
Eren is attacked by Porco in titan form, but smashes him off. Reiner then pins Eren to the ground while Zeke is down. Eren’s friends try to stave off the Marley invaders. Eren escapes his titan form and runs towards Zeke to start the rumbling. However, as he’s about to make contact with Zeke, Gabi is positioned across from him with weaponry and blasts Eren’s head off. LMAO. Eren got 360 no’scoped. Everything goes in slow motion as the others watch in horror as Eren’s head goes flying through the air like a firework on the Fourth of July. Unfortunately for the Marley invaders, Zeke catches Eren’s head and they make contact before Eren dies. Eren meets Zeke in the Founder’s world. Zeke tells him to command the Founder to make it impossible for Eldians to have children. Eren disobeys and tries to enact his own plan, but it turns out the Founder will only listen to Zeke, who is of royal blood. Zeke then butts heads with Eren in order to enact out Zeke’s plan.
Next time on Attack on Titan the final season, episode 79. “Memories Of The Future”. You won’t want to miss it!

Get ready to slay some demons! Demon Slayer season two episode fifteen is here.
Tengen, the Sound Hashira, continues to fight against Gyutaro. Tanjiro puts Nezuko back in her box while she’s sleeping and then goes to assist him. Inosuke and Zenitsu arrive as well. Inosuke and Zenitsu focus on taking down Daki while Tanjiro and Tengen focus on taking down Gyutaro. They MUST be beheaded at the same time in order to defeat them. As they’re fighting, one of Tengen’s wives shows up and fires off kunai knives at Gyutaro. While he can’t move, Tanjiro rushes in to try and finish him off. Will this end up being a mistake, or will they be able to defeat Gyutaro once and for all?

They used to say "You wont want to miss it" on previews of an old toonami anime. I was thinking Tenchi Universe, but they had their own title gimmick with "No need for _____".
i cant wait for next weeks episode, but i also feel a little sad that the show is almost over after all these years :c
