It's cold, it's dark, work is every day. And yet there is time for anime.
Manga
Beyond continuing GTO at a glacial pace, as well as keeping up with Shibuya Near Family and Wasteful Days of High School Girls + Gekkan-Shoujo Nozaki Kun whenever updates release, I have picked up Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha. It's short, it's fun. I'm pretty early into the story to comment more.
Anime
I have finished Monogatari: Second Season, and the Kaiki arc is just fantastic. It's another high in a series that I have both underestimated and feel that it does live to its questionable reputation. Onto the next series, which is... uh... Hanamonogatari?
One Outs is a gambling sports anime that has been recommended to me for a while, and it is decent so far. The MC is pretty un-Kaiji like, and more your average extremely confident gambling genius.
I've watched Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song and I enjoyed it quite a bit. It's somewhat style over substance, but it is refreshing in a sea of formulatic slop. I remember the ending having a bit of controversy surrounding it. I thought it was tragic. The post-credit scene did cheapen that though.
Cardcaptor Sakura keeps being fun and cozy.
I have also resumed Sailor Moon, from Season S. It's still good old Sailor Moon.
Millennium Actress was a pretty good movie, aided by the soundtrack of the excellent Susumu Hirasawa. I felt like I missed half of the appeal of the movie by not being that familiar with what was most likely 1930s to early 1970s Japanese cinema.

friend got me into Chinese anime so now im watching Lord of Mystery
pretty cool, never knew the Chinese did anime so im excited to get into it because after seeing one episode the animation is great the plot is interesting and part of me thinks that the CPC would crack down on any capitalist brainworms so if the anime had cringe takes it wouldve never been approved in the first place
another chinese anime (also known as "dongua" i believe) i recommend is link click! ive watched through most of the show that's outside besides the last six episodes known as the "bridon" arc and it was really good!
One letter off, it's "dònghuà" with an H. It's equivalent to the Japanese word dôga as in "Nico Nico Douga" or "Doga Kobo".
Traditional Chinese and kyuujitai: 動畫
Shinjitai: 動画
Simplified Chinese: 动画
That 畫/画 character means "picture" and is the same character in 漫画 manga/mànhuà. The 動/动 character means "moving".
Oh I wanted to watch Lord of Mystery at some point . There is another popular new chinese cartoon I wanted to watch called To Be Hero X if you are looking for more chinese shows.
