What have you been watching/reading this week? (Anime/Manga)

3-gatsu no Lion Season 2 (Ep 18): The messages it's communicating are very important in my eyes. It's insane how much anime is made about loneliness and how much of it fail to deliver anything meaningful on that theme. 3-gatsu is an exceptional exception - it truly has the potential to help people. It's a genuine and healthy mirror into self-help and empathy. 3-gatsu swings its pendulum in a delicate and natural way from really heavy subject matters to some brighter things. It's mainly about what loneliness is in it's different forms. And these things are quite tactfully and, more importantly, insightfully explored. Even so, when the show is about some quite hard and soul-crushing things, at the end of the day the show manages to feel very hopeful and full of love.
Carole and Tuesday (Ep 6): Thought the first episode was great, but it has been steadily going downhill from there. The first episode hinted at exploring some interesting themes about algorithmic entertainment, AI-s and art, but it looks like they're gonna barely scratch the surface and just focus on the story of the characters and comedy instead. They better turn this around fast, it looked so promising...
Sarazanmai (Ep 7): I appreciate and respect what Ikuhara is going for here, but it's starting to feel like he's rehashing too much from Yurikuma and Penguindrum. I like the themes of what it means to be connected though, so I'm interested to see what the conclusions are at the very least.
Attack on Titan S3 Part 2 (Ep 6): More of the same essentially, which is great. I should probably rewatch this series, I've forgotten most of what went down in S1 and S2. But at the same time I don't think it matters awfully because the show is built around the thriller aspects and doesn't really pose any hard questions that would require detailed knowledge of the characters and plot so I don't really feel motivated to rewatch it. It's really fun though, so fun that the cliffhangers make it a pain to watch weekly, as always.

So of late, I've been reading:

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar (Vols. 9 and 10): Man this series is getting crazy. I'm not sure how to spoiler tag anything here, so I don't wanna say too much, other than that if you think the anime's dark, well holy shit. The character progression has seemed a bit stilted at times, and certain plot developments seem a little forced, but overall the series is at an 8/10 for me right now, as I really love seeing characters' decisions bear consequences they're forced to live with, and justify in some cases.

Kono Subarashii Sekai ni Shukufuku wo! (Vols. 6-10): Wow. I didn't think Aqua could be any more useless. Oh well, she's certainly good for a few comedic moments. The more I read the main series (there are quite a few spinoffs), the more I love this group of misfits that somehow calls itself a functioning party. Hopefully I'll be caught up on this one by the end of summer.

As far as stuff I've watched, can't say I've seen anything notable this season. Senko-san is a good dose of iyashikei, as is Senryuu Shoujo. Kimetsu no Yaiba's art has been good, but the story imo rather feels forced into standard shonen fare, unfortunately. Really looking forward to summer's adaptation of Arifureta: Saikou Sekai de Shokugyou by White Fox (if they do at least passable with the CG). Hikasa Youko as a masochistic dragon really has me excited, and idk why.

Asobi Asobase is really funny. It's almost your typical highschool girls comedy, but it has a wackier style, although not too much, making it very entertaining. Some of the jokes they make are very unexpected.

Just rewatched Code Geass R1 and R2. God it's still as good as I remember.

Still haven't heard much from that new season they were doing..
