    Fun read as a Swede. This is one of those things I just assumed everyone in the world had. I use paper towels as well, but I guess my dishcloth usage makes me use paper towels a lot less.

    I totally get that, but I have kind of given up and just accepted that most shows won't be completed or may take 10+years to be completed.
    But of course, sometimes you get burned. Promised Neverland S01 is great, S02 is well.. They tried to fit the whole manga in that season. One can argue that the pacing was less than perfect.

    More than once I've watched S01 of a show, and it left me with a cliffhanger. In those cases I usually go for the source material (Manga etc.) if I'm impatient and curious. That not an option if one does not like manga though.

    Would like to tell you about it, but I'll say as everyone else. If you plan to watch, read as little as possible about it, preferably nothing.

    I didn't read anything about the show, and wow, the first episode is a roller coaster.
    There is only one season out right now, with S2 being produced. Well worth a watch!

    The characters, music and enviroment in P4 is just so good.

    I just started Persona 3 FES on PS2, but then I got interrupted by The Last of Us 2.

    I've had Matrix servers from time to time, but nothing beats an isolated RocketChat instance if you need a rock solid simple chat for a small group of people.

    It really is a pretty perfect show! I've watched it twice, and I'll probably watch it again soon.

    That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
    Pretty fun isekai fantasy adventure anime. It is ongoing, I think the next season is planned for this fall.

    Dr. STONE
    Also an isekai, and really good. Ongoing as well.

    Konosuba
    Basically a parody of the isekai genre. Awesome characthers though.

    Overlord
    Wouldn't say that this is a comedy, but it has it's moments.
    https://www.crunchyroll.com/overlord

    As for Spirited Away, that definitely counts. You can't go wrong with any of the Studio Ghibli movies.

    I just saw the other day that Netflix has Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Erased and Ghost in the Shell stand alone complex. All awesome shows, but not really "fun" except Cowboy Bebop.

    Edit:
    Hinamatsuri
    About a girl who gets adopted by a Yakuza member. Fun, some action and about 12 episodes. Great show!

    I use my Chemex or Hario V60, but usually I don't bother brewing coffee since manual brew is quite a bit of work. The coffee is great though, just make sure the water temperature is perfect.

    I'm on the hunt for a Bonavita BV1900TS though (Can't find it anywhere in Europe).
    If anyone have any recommendations for a good coffee maker (100-200EUR) it would be highly appreciated!
