The year has flown by. With the 40 h work week, you’re speedrunning getting old!

Manga

I’m still only reading Great Teacher Onizuka and Shibuya Near Family - both of which are good.

Anime

Gundam SEED Destiny was a mess, and feels like a waste of time for what is 100 episodes of Gundam. And yet, there’s still the movie to go through. Fun. D+

Eureka Seven is a show I’ve started recently, and is quite competently made. Not much is original, it feels like, with the show’s themes (so far) being kinda obvious - a coming of age story. But I don’t dislike it, and studio Bones is pretty reliably good. B

Dragon Ball Z - The Frieza saga ended - 200-ish more episodes to go. But DBZ is reliably good, even if slow. A

Vision of Escaflowne is good, even if imo somewhat harmed by the comparisons to Evangelion. I liked it A-

Wasteful Days of High School Girls is something I picked up on a whim and surprised me. Another show from the Azumanga / Nichijou genre, it’s a fun one. I haven’t had out-loud laughs at an anime in a while, but maybe it speaks of me I enjoy the kind of silly nonsense this show is about. A

    Hexbear won’t like it though

    Comrade, I’m SHAFT’s number one fedaykin here. Though obviously you gotta CW the fact that their work is almost always unapologetically horny, Shinbo Style (though the best example is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei) is always a visual treat. The Hitagi Crab arc is great, though the final of the original broadcast (the one with the “date” to the field) is my favorite stand out episode.
