Manga:
Same as the previous months, GTO and Inari, Konkon, Koi Iroha though I have now reached beyond the point where both anime end. I've been enjoying both of these manga a lot, especially with how difficult it is to even find quality manga.
Anime:
I'm almost done with the original version of Space Battleship Yamato and I have to say that I prefer the remake. Why? Quality wise, both are very good, and the remake's changes to the story are small and overall improvements. On the other hand, you do not get to hear the fantastic OP and ED songs by the GOAT of the 1970s, Isao Sasaki, so often as in the original. Or the rest of the very 70s soundtrack. A+
I have finished You're Under Arrest's first TV season. It is a good episodic action-comedy, and what makes it shine is the supporting cast of characters that do give the sense that the protagonists encounter the same people a lot. Which makes sense, considering they patrol a neighbourhood where people live. Strike Man is gonna be living rent free in my head for good. There are few standout episodes, but also the average quality is high, and you will be entertained. B+
Sailor Moon S(hitpost) is so far my favourite season of the series, and they have done so by embracing the weirdness. Good stuff. A | Cardcaptor Sakura is turning into a comfort anime for me. It's got just the right vibes after a stressful day, and a main plot will probably eventually materialise, beyond the gathering of Clow Cards. Even if it doesn't, that's fine. A+
Once again, I have somehow managed to ignore most of seasonals, which is explicitly something I didn't want to do this time around. I have seen E1 of Mao and I thought it was pretty good. I was also interested in Liar Game and saw E1, but a friend of mine and fellow gambling anime enthusiast dislikes what he saw, so idk. Maybe I'll give it a chance.
Live Action:
Having played the surprisingly good Star Trek Voyager video game Across the Unknown, I've got the Star Trek itch again. So, I went and watched... The Orville. And it turns out that Family Guy Trek is by far the closest thing to the 90s era of Star Trek I have seen, and that includes all other post-2005 Trek series, even the homages like Lower Decks. Hell yeah. A+

Too much! There's a lot of promising anime this season, and I'm also watching an older one. Also slowly chipping away at the manga Yuri Espoir. Got a couple volumes at Kinokuniya last month, but I prefer to read it on my e-reader.
Kaiba — Super neat setting and art style. Two-thirds of the way through and I think it's really handled the single cour limit well. Hopefully it doesn't fall apart at the end.
Kamiina Botan — I've been watching this with a friend. I'm a sucker for variety in art style and yuri so it's no surprise I like it.
Marriagetoxin — It's pretty fun.
Needy Girl Overdose — No idea what to make of it. Probably still won't by the time it ends.
Nippon Sangoku — It's an intriguing concept but so far I'm not sold on the characters, and there's too much tonal whiplash.
Witch Hat Atelier — Easily would recommend this to anyone. I'm going to pick up the manga after this season is over.
Yomi no Tsugai — It's entertaining shounen.
Caught up on this last night, thank you. Idk why, but after all the breaks and hiatuses during Silver Spoon I just assumed she retired afterwards. So glad to find I'm wrong.
This reminds me so much of Aeon Flux, not the movie but, the shorts from Liquid Television way back in the day.
