What's the last anime you watched?

Myself, I'm in the middle of a bunch of shows, cuz sometimes I just kinda see a ton of older stuff that looks interesting and I binge.

Most recent finish was Kakushigoto. It's about a manga artist who's a single dad, going to extreme lengths to keep his young daughter in the dark about his career because his manga is just a bunch of dick jokes. It's pretty cute and it's got some good jokes, but it never quite came together for me. A few of the characters are kinda generic, sometimes it feels like it's a little too mean, and there's a framing story that basically sets it up for an inevitably contrived conclusion. If you like goofy slice-of-life comedies, I guess it can't hurt to check it out though, especially since it's only 12 episodes.

I might talk about it in more detail in a review.

I'm in the middle of Dragon Ball Diama. It's a Toriyama-sanctioned take on GT. IE: Bad guy gets the Dragonballs and wishes to turn Goku into a kid again. It also provides a lot of expansion into the lore behind Majin Buu and even references to Saibamen of all things!

I just started Monster again, of which I'd seen the first two episodes years back with my sister, but this came at the suggestion of my cousin Daddi0. So far it's been really good.

Also really good was the anime I just finished, based on yours and Noth's suggestion: Chivalry of a Failed Knight. I'm just sad the anime left off where it did. I would like to track down the light novels and see how much farther it goes from there (if it does, and I assume it does?).

Sengoku Youko.
'S one of those shows that goes through a lot of different vibes rapidly. I mostly see that in ye olde Jippon kinda anime so I presume it's something like how folk stories are passed down and collected together.
Actually didn't watch it while it was airing because I wasn't in on the premise that was only relevant for the first two episodes, and it's been a wild ride since getting back into it.

Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ which I really need to watch more of so I have it finished in time for the theatrical showings of Char's Counterattack in March.

The anime seasons are pretty good to me right now as far as following up on shows I really like goes.


One I'm watching is You and I Are Polar Opposites. It's a low stakes romantic slice of life show. Basically, Miyu Suzuki is a whimsical extrovert who has a massive crush on her classmate Yusuke Tani, who's a quiet awkward guy. She confesses, they start dating, and it becomes this whole thing where their entire circle of friends is kind of trying to navigate social interaction and figuring out how they're gonna handle this life stuff. It never gets into big drama, but it still manages to have some weight to the messy difficulties of dealing with friendship and romance. It's got a really lovable ensemble cast of people who are fun to watch.
The art style's pretty cute, and I dig anything that's got enough of a feminine awareness to let their female characters feel like actual three-dimensional women. Miyu gets a lot of cute outfits mostly just for her own sake, and she makes a lot of silly faces that don't just feel like they're part of some moe angle. I dunno, I think I'm not explaining this very well.
