    One thing I've been watching is Fruits Basket. Oh boy, I am so happy and excited watching this anime. I read the manga back in highschool and absolutely loved it. I bought the whole series a year or two ago over the course of about a year as there was the new edition that came out, so it was a total of like 12 volumes I think. The first Fruits Basket anime I didn't even bother watching. Like Toru didn't even have the right coloring for her hairs/eyes and I felt like if they would give up on that most basic of details why bother with the rest of it? My disdain was relatively well-founded as I have found out over time from various people that it diverged from the Manga and was pretty different, but not in a good way. So having the new anime following the manga is just so much fun I love it!! It makes me want to read the manga again!

    I've also been keeping up with Demon Slayer. Really, this show is just so good god damn. The story is great so far and it takes its time but not in a bad way! I personally love the animation style and was shook that they have like fingernails and toenails?? So many anime and really a lot of shows just don't even add those kinds of details. I really enjoy the pacing and style of Demon Slayer, it's really a breath of fresh air for me in many ways. Plus the pure, loving relationship of the brother and sister is so sweet and not fucking disgusting like so many anime stray towards. I hope it stays that way.

    I did not write a long time about new season. So, I am watching: Carole & Tuesday — good music and around music, not idol, anime on Mars in future. Fairy Gone — kinda JoJo, but with kinda politic...

    I did not write a long time about new season.

    So, I am watching:

    • Carole & Tuesday — good music and around music, not idol, anime on Mars in future.
    • Fairy Gone — kinda JoJo, but with kinda politic and not so good CG; here is also hard-names of towns which I do not remember. Very middle anime, but I somewhy watch. maybe because I like main heroine — she is pretty girl.
    • Kenja no Mago — kinda isekai but I define as almost general slice-life but with politic and magic. It is not harem but here is enough of dithyrambs for main hero.
    • Kimetsu no Yaiba — shounen anime about oldtime world with demons, with good animation and some brutal and cute.
    • Mix: Meisei Story — to be honest, I did not watch any Touch but Cross Game. Simple spokon where slice-life is main subject.
    • Sarazanmai — good anime of drama, kappas and absurdic.
    • Sewayaki Kitsune no Senko-san — perfect iyashikei.

    shorts & sprecial

    • Joshi Kausei — 4 min: three girls, slice-life with sometime light ecchis.
    • Miru Tights — 4 min: tights, girls and ecchi.
    • Chou Kadou Girl ⅙ — 15 min: otaku-culture about figures which are alive.
    • Watashi ni Tenshi ga Maiorita! - special: lolis, kinda iyashikei.

    from previous season

    • Dororo — same as Kimetsu no Yaiba above, but I somewhy do not feel it as shounen. And by the way only some, I guess two, episodes have a really bad animation. First OP is catchy.
    • JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken: Ougon no Kaze

    I rarely read manga but I was a glad to read a short [but name is not, bhh] completed manga with three volumes — Jumyou wo Kaitotte Moratta. Ichinen ni Tsuki, Ichimanen de.

    That last episode of One Punch Man gave me some good chuckles especially right at the end.
