I will say, as A Motorcycle Guy (tm) and one who's owned a 1964 Cub C100 in the past at that, the Honda Cub is definitely a certain degree of singular in what it is (especially outside of like, South-east Asia where semi-automatic underbone-framed motorbikes are the default vehicle), and so I found that a bit less immersion breaking even if I could tell there was blatant advertising at work there
Super Cub nerds are just actually almost like that in the real world
As someone who hasn’t read the manga, I find it quite funny how I’ve been faked out about the finality of the word Final twice now

Just about everyone and their mother has been saying the show had no chance of finishing the story this season(fortunately).
He's the only emperor without one. He's just that much of a monster.
I think if we see a fight with Shanks and his crew it'll be a "let's see how much you've grown". Also, iirc Usopp's father is in Shanks' crew, so there's that.

One piece Marineford arc
Dang, I need to reread that arc
So his awakening involving even more Looney Toons nonsense is just him going back to his roots.
Like it's definitely horny, sometimes in ways that serve the main theme and frequently just because tiddies sell copies, but the way it is horny is interesting.
Marin is overtly sexual - she's very gyaru, she's a cosplay otaku, she's hot and she's not shy about showing it off, she'll just casually talk about her own assets or the difficulties of squeezing her boobs into a costume. Which in different contexts could make her a very male wish fulfillment character. But like while manga has plenty of female characters who aren't shy about showing off their boobs, those characters are almost never romantic interests. They're the third girl in the harem, the one who's definitely never gonna win but gets naked every now and then. Or the ditz who acts like a dirty old man to "innocently" objectify other female characters.
Romantic stories are often the most socially conservative genre of fiction, or at least traditionalist. And in Japan (but definitely not uniquely to Japan) the romantic expectation of the female partner is being beautiful and sexy, but not sexual. More crudely, she needs to be fuckable but not someone who wants to fuck. Her sexuality is something to be won and owned exclusively by her male partner, not something she will express on her own, other than willingness to accept the man's desire for her.
So there's a subtle but really important distinction in the way Marin is portrayed vs a lot of similarly horny romance manga. Every time (so far, I'm only a bit in) that Marin has been portrayed sexily, it's not the viewer sneaking a peek at an unaware or embarrassed sexual innocent, it's Marin posing and displaying herself, fully aware that she is being seen and having fun with it, within the limits that she defines.
Not that the series is perfect about it, and some of that empowerment is definitely up to interpretation, but it's a bigger, more important difference than you'd think at first, and it's surprisingly unusual. It's a big part of why even though the manga is definitely Hella Horny it simultaneously feels surprisingly wholesome.
Sailor Neptune.
Neptune best tune
Gonna put this specific one in a spoiler just in case, because it's pretty rough.
Also, out of nowhere the last three episodes are them solving one big case. Which is really cool! Except you again swap between goofs about how the person nominated to be sketch artist can't draw to stopping a guy with a knife from kidnapping children. It's fucked up! And finding out the creator was a policewoman for 10 years makes perfect sense.
This is where I am in the manga and it's my third time at the frog doing the front stroke and it gets me every time
If anyone would like to see a series about Japanese policewomen with a much lighter tone, there was a manga and anime in the late 80's/early 90's called You're Under Arrest. I haven't seen it myself, but it always seemed to have good word of mouth. Wikipedia says it even got a live action adaptation at some point.
It's by Kousuke Fujishima, responsible for Oh My Goddess and (early) Tales of art. It's great.
Well, they could do worse than a role model.
I posted a clip of the live action YAA when I first started watching Hakozume. I watched the first episode of YAA live and it was lots of fun. Would definitely be up for checking out more of it. I've got the live action Hakozume bookmarked to check out at some point as well, I have to wonder if it would work as well.

It only gets better the father you go into the arc trust me
This story is fun and good always
While the English translation IIRC didn't do any censorship on account of not being released until 2014, the '97 Italian dub picked up the slack by cutting the physical transformation. Apparently some psychologist was claiming that Sailor Moon was making boys gay or something?
It's not anything surreal like Sonny Boy or insanely overcomplicated like Evangelion. It just does not explain anything, ever. I thought I was figuring out the basics after the first two episodes, but the next one threw me for a loop.
Episode 1: An older man is unhappy in a rigid career he was forced into and must remain in until he dies.
Episode 2: An older man is unhappy in a rigid career he was forced into and must remain in until he dies.

What's the moral of this story, ESTAB Life?
You can say that again.
The best villain of all time, and the power of SCIENCE versus the power of love!
