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.

still watching the same stuff. So far I have been enjoying Death Games, no complaints.
Holy Grail Of Eris ehhhh, is kinda losing me, because of course they have to add in some loser guy whose like 27 to be the 16 year old's fake fiance, smh.
Mushroom Witch proves that you dont need some exploitative violent scene in order to convey deep sadness and loss. ๐ฟ
Journal With Witch -- I am enjoying this a lot so far, and laughing every time because I said "this anime is so relaxing!" and its heavily about grief lol.
Tamon's B Side is kinda boring ๐ Im also watching that "im the villainess and the neighboring country's prince falls in love with me" and it is also very boring. I kinda hate the fawning gimmick the villainess does. ๐ฅฑ gonna drop these most likely
Isekai office worker, feels like it's kind of falling off a bit. I can't help but feel like the main character is being taken advantage of because he's so vulnerable. I do appreciate the moment when the main character was like "ew no don't want to date a 16-year-old what the fuck bro"
Roll over and die is pretty brutal, but it does have some interesting animation and I like her abilities. And the yuri is nice. Rooting for these girls to have a happy ending ๐ข
spoiler
Plus we find out that the church is evil and demons are misunderstood. I like that sort of plotline.
Tis Time For Torture Princess season 2 is a 10/10 for me.
I started watching Chihayafuru and I really like it so far!! I feel like the pacing is really good.
I watched Cosmic Princess Kaguya and it was so good. I had dreams about it. The last time I saw a Kaguya adaptation it was very sad. The ending of this one was kind of confusing, but now that I understand it, I do appreciate how it ends.
I have also decided to re-read Make The Exorcist Fall In Love because the new arc deserves my full attention, and I haven't been following as closely as I would like. I really can't recommend the series enough if you like this sort of thing. It kind of reminds me if battle shounen was a retelling of moral oral plus chainsaw man vibes. I usually don't have a lot of good things to say about battle shounen, so the fact that this passes says something.
