So, I dug back into physical media a bit at the end of the year and managed to scrounge up some copies of older works that I either hadn't seen or where my copy had issues (like parts of a few episodes skipping due to physical defects on the discs).
One of those I haven't seen before is To-LOVE-Ru. I don't know how the hell I never realized this -- having seen it pop up in fanart and such for a decade or so... -- but the name とらぶる is obviously a transliteration of "trouble" into Japanese. So far, the writing is wonderfully stupid; I'm not expecting much out of this in the story department, but a lighthearted distraction from our extremely depressing reality is not unwelcome right now... I've heard the show described as "thinly veiled hentai" before, but even with that description I was still a bit surprised they actually put unobscured female nipples in the first episode. This kind of episodic ecchi harem comedy isn't something I find bingeable, so I'll probably be chipping away at it episode by episode for a while when I'm in the right mood for it. Hopefully I get a few good reaction shots out of it.
For upcoming releases, I am planning to watch S2 of Frieren, but given that that's the kind of thing I expect I'd rather want to binge, I will probably be waiting towards the end of the season to start it.
