I'm gonna move this to Fridays from now on, it's easier for me to remember to post.

Anyway, what have you been watching/reading this week?

Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.

If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its Anilist, MAL, or any other anime/manga database you use!

A few months ago I saw a bunch of memes about drift racing and it turned out that was from a rather old anime. As a moderate fan of street racing I decided to check it out, and really enjoyed it. The idea of using talent to casually push an old "sleeper" car (but a nice looking one) beyond others is fun and inspiring. The dynamic racing scenes were done beautifully. Iconic eurobeat soundtrack. And surprisingly nice friendships and relationships in a "daily life" yet captivating story. Watching the show was a memorable experience for me, and it was also fun to recognize songs and phrases from the memes and to learn more about racing. And what do you think?

Recently I've started getting really into manga/anime that focuses pretty heavily on brawling.

I binged Kengan Asura, which primarily focuses on a fighter named Ohma and his coach as they fight in an underground fighting ring.

Baki was very similar, but probably a bit more silly, and a bit more focused on the conflict with his father.

Part of my problem is I don't really know what to look for after this. Does anyone have any suggestions for either manga or anime that is focused on fighters / fighting like Kengan or Baki?

For my daily tea-drinkers: What are you drinking today? Where'd you get it? How would you rate it?

For my non-tea drinkers: Feel free to ask any questions you might have about the most widely consumed beverage in the world (next to water). Share a time you had a good experience or a bad experience.

What are people's thoughts on ads? I feel that if they are implemented in the right way they can be very unobtrusive and not take away from the viewing experience. If they can help fund the project down the road I would personally not be against them.

In a bit of a synthwave haze at the moment and craving some more, does anyone have any good artists?
