Another month gone, another month older, another month at work.

I've been reading Great Teacher Onizuka and so far it's almost exactly 1:1 like the anime... which means, the horribly aged ableism is about to hit, beyond all the other problematic stuff. Beyond that, it remains as fun as I remember. It's neat. B+

Gundam SEED has managed to make it across its entire 50 episode run without making me too annoyed or in amused disbelief over the nonsense happening on the screen. Really, it's... alright. I wish Kira and Lacus were less wooden characters. Athrun and Cagalli were significantly more interesting and 500x more likeable than Ange and Tusk in the trainwreck of a show named Cross Ange, who used them as a ~~self-plagiarism~~ source of inspiration B-
SEED Destiny too... has been pretty alright so far. However, I do like Shinn's character. That man has definitely every reason to be as angry as he is... but I am fairly confident the show won't do too much with that. Speaking of Cagalli, wow, that is a massive downgrade in character writing compared to S1. Supposedly, there's IRL drama that caused that! C+
CITY is Nichijou 2, not much else to say about it. It doesn't quite live up to the predecessor, and with the shorter show run it probably never will, but it is undeniably still a good show. A
Dragon Ball Z - almost done with the Freeza fight. That was... pretty long. But consistently good, even though some previously impactful stuff, like people dying, is not much of a big deal now. A
Ranma 1/2 is also consistently entertaining. Not much else to say about it at this point. A

I knew Gravity Falls was always a highly regarded show... but I did not expect it to be this good. There's an iconic cast of characters, compelling storytelling... it's just very very competent at what it sets out to do. A+

A challenging Super Robot Wars game in the year of our Lord 2025? One that has, so far, good writing? One that is available in a language I speak? Y is shockingly good. I've been on a binge this weekend. A+
Hello nerds, this month i had time to i got up to date with a bunch of stuff
Manga
Chainsawman part 2 : its been pretty good
10/10
spoiler
I really like how the latest arc has set up Yoru as the final antagonist of Part 2, i really like how the previous arcc have been slowing power her up until now and i wonder what is Death devil's plan now that she kinda stopped the prophesy but replaced it by something just as bad, Also maybe Nayuta will return now that Death devil is on the same side as DenjiSpyXFamily: i got up to chapter 107, its been pretty good, i liked the backstory arcs for mr henderson and martha 8/10
Anime
Apothecary Diaries: i finished season 1 and im starting season 2, its about solving mysteries in ancient not china with some slowburn, i really like maomao she is a really fun protagonist and i like all the court politics she has to deal with 10/10 show
To Be Hero X: its a really good donghua, i started the first arc a while also but only this last week i got up to date with the whole thing and i love it, they split the show into arcs and each one has their own protagonist and its like a chinese version of the boys but good and with idol celebrity culture. 9/10
Dandadan: its pretty good 8/10
the animation in the latest To Be Hero X was really something, it's been a fun weekly.
