Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

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.

Anime
'Tis Time for Torture Princess - The One Joke Show is back. Guess what, the One Joke is still funny. If you're not watching this, it is very high quality. Better than it ever had any right to be, credit to the original author for committing to the bit in the most earnest way possible. Highly recommended to anyone who hasn't seen it yet, you will either love it or hate it, but you should definitely try it.
Frieren S2 - Still batting a high average, and I like the SOL stuff
Oshi no Ko - Having read the manga, this is mostly just for a giggle, but I do like the continued jaundiced look at entertainment/idols/etc.
Jujutsu Kaisen - I love some battle shounen slop. So far this has been fun.
Manga
Hyakkano/The 100 Girlfriends who Really Really Really Really REALLY Love You - The manga continues to deliver, Nozawa and Nakamura are truly incredible. As the cast grows, so do the best chapters (the daily life ones), so I'm here for the long haul. Excited to see who voices Naddy in the next season (which is supposedly later this year).
