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.
Watching Paranoia Agent with my mom because I showed her Welcome To The NHK awhile ago and I'm assuming she looked up "anime like NHK" or maybe it was "anime with adult cast" or something because she was asking if I could download NANA, Shirobako, Paranoia Agent, Wave Listen To Me, etc. Already saw some of them and was planning to watch a lot of the rest on her list so started with PA since it's only 12 episodes and I've been meaning to rewatch it. It's good. The animation has a lot of great shots and it's cool seeing Kon do some TV stuff. I wish he got to do more TV series. It seems like all of the anime auteurs filter out to doing movies, at least in the 2000s.
Also rewatched Nijiro Hotaru/Rainbow Fireflies which was really good. The gesture drawing-like animation in that's so good. If you freeze frame it the characters are all gloopy and weird, like a gesture drawing, but it captures realistic movement like no other anime movie I've seen. Especially when they have background/sideground characters animated, it's so lifelike. A lot of anime, especially TV stuff, takes its cues from stage plays so it's nice seeing something less staged and more dynamic. There's a short early on of a boy walking down a paved mountain road and it gives off a sensation of space way better than most. You actually feel like it's outside and lacks the walled-in claustrophobia of a lot of anime.
