Manga

Blooming Love is a pretty generic romcom. A competent one so far, but it's VERY familiar slop. B-

Anime

Gundam SEED, at around 3/4 of the show is... alright. It has not shit the bed... yet (?). Definitely not the best, but less of a trainwreck I expected. We'll see about SEED Destiny. B-

CITY. Nichijou 2 is peak. The most recent episode was mesmerizing, and like a comrade stated, it evokes the feeling of being in a social situation and being sensory overloaded quite well lol. A+

Nisemonogatari. Horrible Oreimo flashbacks. Please no. Kizumonogatari was shockingly peak before that (but I am de jure a goth and vampire slop is always fun). Apparently the infamous toothbrush scene is as horny as it gets. Will it continue being questionable? Almost certainly lol. 🥴

Dragon Ball Z. The refrigerator man is a good villain. The pace is still slowwwwww. A

Western Animation

Gravity Falls is still fun. Though I feel so far Mabel was a less obnoxiously written character in S1? Stan on the other hand, a kid friendly version of Quark from DS9. I love that old bastard.

Skip and loafer. Really grounded slice of life/romance. No fan service is always a huge plus for me. Also the manga does characters really well. They're not cookie cutter walking tropes.

Noragami. Really good manga. Minimal fanservice. I'd call it fantasy romance shonen. The ending was rushed tho. I think the manga publishing industry wraps up manga way too fast to get the next one in for the 💰 and this impacts the endings.

Lastly I read useless ponko. Good futuristic comedy/slice of life centered around a robot maid that can be useless lol. It does have some interesting ideas about AI (not llms like we have) although the best representation of AI is probably time of eve.
