    As someone without much exposure to ISO keyboards, what are some of the biggest differences. I really am ignorant here, the only thing I think when I hear ISO is an oversized “enter” key lol

    Wow, great information; thanks!

    I'll add MHA back to the list, but maybe a bit further down. Same for Demon Slayer, though I am more interested in experiencing new shows at this point than revisiting shows I've watched in the past unless you really feel I'd be missing out.

    Based off your suggestion, Jujutsu Kaisen will be my next show unless someone else chimes in with a very strong opinion on something else. Thanks again.

    I honestly haven’t spent a ton of time watching anime movies, but maybe that’s something I should change. Your suggestion has been added to the list, thank you!

    I really enjoyed The Promised Neverland (I don't eat meat, partially for ethical reasons, so it hit home a bit extra for me). I did watch both seasons, and while the second was far weaker I still enjoyed it well enough.

    I'll add Code Geass to the list, thank you!

    I've seen FLCL (the original season, still haven't watched the latest). Do you know if the more recent season is worth it?

    Cowboy Bebop was my first foray into anime back in the day, so it'll always hold a special place in my heart :)

    I'll add Juuni Taisen, Bleach, and Samurai Champloo, and Magical Destroyers to my list. Thank you!

    Jujutsu Kaisen is on the list now!

    I did watch several seasons of MHA, but I fell out of it. My friend warned me, and I came to agree: the problem with anime series like that one is that they need to continuously ratchet up the stakes to keep the show interesting, and that's not something most writing teams can do forever. The last I saw of that series, if I'm remembering correctly, was the movie where they go to an island together.

    I also saw several seasons of Demon Slayer, but got bored with it when they essentially decided to drag the movie out into the better part of a season. I can only maintain interest for so long when they're literally rehashing the exact same scenes, so I stopped watching.

    I saw Hunter X Hunter, and it was pretty good. Do you have a particular series of Dragon Ball you'd suggest?

    I started watching Mob Psycho 100, but after a few episodes it still hadn't clicked for me so I moved on. Does it get way better?

    Adding Mashle to the list!

    Thank you so much for all the suggestions!

    Edit: forgot to mention that I'm adding Trigun to the list!

    Hey, I really appreciate the suggestion and now it's definitely getting a second chance with me. I really felt like I was missing out on something having abandoned it like that.

    I’d really appreciate suggestions for any action-packed anime series you might be able to share.

    I “play” Zwift indoors for exercise when I don’t have time to ride my bicycle outside. While Zwift is a huge improvement over nothing, I still find myself watching the clock more than the screen. To help keep my mind busy and pass the time, I’ve been watching anime while riding indoors for the last several years. The more intense the anime, the better!

    I think the early Attack on Titan seasons are the most emblematic of what I’m looking for, though I’ve been enraptured by other less likely shows, such as Psycho-Pass and Dr. Stone.

    Chainsaw Man, Blue Lock, Shield Hero, Sword Art Online, Parasyte , the first season of Vinland Saga, Shokugeki, and many others have helped me get through countless hours of riding in the past, and I could really use a few new series going forward.

    Thanks in advance!

    Edit: cleaned up some phrasing

    Yeah, i think there are four configs from which you can choose.

    I went with the 46 mostly because someone had already modeled a case with a travel cover and using a low profile board like that for travel was a goal. Also, I believe the 46 is the only one of the bunch that gives you the option to add an ESD chip and decoupling capacitors. That was a plus for me as I want to continue to improve my soldering skills.

    Edit: here’s a link to that travel case
