Natsume's Book Of Friends - I remember when this came out a decade ago. i like this silly but thoughtful show about an isolated highschool boy who inherited his grandmother's "book of friends" which is a list of yokai she fought and defeated & now belong to the holder of the book, but Natsume decides he will release the yokai instead. So either they want the book for power, or they want their names released. A more powerful yokai decides to be his guardian house cat and looks after him as he navigates being an outcast, and developing a relationship with his found family. Plots rarely go on beyond an episode or two.
Peach Girl - the slop is kinda good. Its messy, its got bad messaging, but its too silly to look away. I guess I just wanted to know what it was like, because I avoided watching it when I was a kid.
Paradise Kiss - sitting here like, damn I knew this girl and the boys she dated who fooled around with her, broke her heart, etc. in that way it is kind of painful to watch.
A Mangaka's Weirdly Wonderful Workplace - not bad not bad. The main character acts like me, always stressin'
Sanda - this is the type of story that slowly world builds and each layer becomes more diabolical. Debating on if i want to read the manga or wait like I have so far with Gachiakuta
Gachiakuta - giving props to this show for holding my interest this long despite my heavy skepticism and even rejection.
This Monster Wants To Eat Me - I read the manga, and while I have some thoughts about how the story unfolds, I guess I still enjoy it.
Chainsaw Man Reze Arc : this and monster wants to eat me made me realize that reading manga is way more impactful than watching it animated. Reze was far scarier and badass in my head. That being said, I appreciate the animation as well. This was the arc that really got me into chainsaw man!
Cinderella Grey pt 2 - love this show
