    I started up Kids on the Slope as I'd always meant to watch it. I saw it mentioned here, it reminded me of it, so watched the first 4 episodes. Unfortunately I wasn't paying enough attention to the context of why it was coming up, which is that it was leaving Crunchyroll and other services except maybe HiDive.
    Whoops.

    Finished 86, overall rather good.
    Started Kotaro Lives Alone. It's very cute, and I'm sure the whole show is about making things better, but the basic premise feels fucking tragic and makes me sad. Which it's not like 86 is a party, it's genocide. But the lonely kid insisting he's doing fine just gets me.

    Everything about that op is a fusion of lyrics, music, visuals and deeply rooted meaning that evokes in me strong feelings at multiple points, especially that thumbnail image.

    I cant not watch it, Im just rooted to the spot, staring, every time. We watch an episode with dinner usually, and normally the op is just a time to dig in, but I forget to eat.

    Its getting deeper and more meaningful every episode, as more of the symbology and character interactions are revealed.

    Nobody was prepared for Ultimate Teacher. Especially not Disney's lawyers.

    I'd forgotten how much they changed in Alita, too, since I'd just reread the manga.

    We have arrived at the Sea Train in One Piece

    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

    That frog fighting that train is just a god damn perfect symbolism for the story and no I will not be elaborating at this time

    Okay, so after the shenanigans that the current chapter of one piece has done. We need a scene where Luffy performs a suplex on someone's big ass ship. I mean, the series now has the establish canon to justify one upping Final Fantasy's train suplex.

    I mean luffy did some amazing call backs to the stuck in snake from skypeia all in two pages so he's #1 of all time for me

    Healer Girl is custom made to fucking destroy me. It's just Symphogear but singing casts healing spells. I started tearing up during the OP.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EAos6fgP8BE

    Then they sang to heal an old lady and that sent them to the song dimension where flowers and fairies shot out everywhere and I also couldn't handle that.

    Please watch this show.

    New isekai about a guy that had to play an otome game he hated for his sister then dies and ends up in that world.

    But he hates how shitty and unbalanced the concept is and was fine just being a background character until he finds out its a matriarchal world and the woman his father married wants to sell him off to a 50 year old woman that wants him to die in battle so she can live off the survivor benefits.

    Luckily he knows where the broken paid content is.

    I actually kind of like this one. The MC is a POS, but not for the all the normal sex pest/isekai/harem/power fantasy reasons. He has a rough outside personality, and likes seeing vain people receive their just desserts, but he mostly just wants to be left alone to do his thing and be happy. Unfortunately the plot has other plans for him.

    Regarding romance, SPOILERS there's (3rd LN spoilers, which I assume the anime will cover):
    Official couple is the two main girls with each other, and they decide together they both want MC to be their husband.

    Not gonna lie very wary of a concept from Japan that seems to be "matriarchal society needs to be destroyed by random male". They don't get benefit of the doubt on some stuff.

    Particularly a sadistic misogynist at that.

    Birdie Wing is what you get when you force people to make a golf show who really wanted to make a shouty shounen action show instead. The main girl, named Chris Christina, screams special attack names whenever she hits a ball, and both hits one through a train and straight through a tree to show her golf power level. It is chaotic nonsense. Not sure if in a good way, but definitely better than just a generic golf/sports show played straight.

    Irishman talks about Berserk for 2 hours

    This is a fucking good video.

    So as a follow up I watched his Garfield video.

    This guy is really good at crafting a narrative.

    I watched the "this manga [Teppu] will make you better at fighting" one, and like someone in the comments to that video, about five minutes in I stopped watching the video and went off to read Teppu, then came back to watch the rest of the video.

    It was really fascinating comparing what he got out of it to what I got out of it -- supereyepatchwolf does jiu-jitsu himself, so when he reads a comic about MMA he is looking for how well it presents the actual grapples and combat and stuff, and I guess if you know what you're doing it does a good job of that. For me, I don't know much about what was going on during the fights, but that didn't seem to matter, any more than how I don't know enough about Go to really understand Hikaru No Go, or enough about shogi for 3-Gatsu No Lion, etc. (that said, I have never managed to get on with a baseball manga, those seem to be too much about the actual whos-on-which-base details for me).

    Even without appreciating the fight choreography, though, Teppu is well worth a read -- is it a story about fighting? Well, yes, I guess so.

    But it's much more (imho) a story about the meaning of struggle, and the meaning of victory, and progression, and community, and friendship, and how success can be the worst possible thing to happen to someone and what to do to overcome that. (which kind of makes it sound like one-punch man, but it is very very different)

    It's completed, relatively short (the video says due to illness, and while the story does reach an ending, there was definitely more story to tell), and well worth a look.

    I just wish there was some genre out there that shared half of its popularity because god damn am I sick of new stuff coming out and it's more elves in skimpy outfits and the protagonist is an average nerd but with a smartphone/laser pointer/basic meta awareness of videogame tropes/etc.
