Nekomedou Kokoro Tan was the worst manga I ever read, it was straight up LGBT propaganda in manga form. Not sure why I expected it not to be utter garbage.

This one's a little intense but it's kinda cute.

Flying Witch which is just 12 episodes of comfy, semi-rural slice-of-life about a witch-in-training from Yokohama moving in with unmagical relatives in northern Honshu with a little magic but nothing in the way of battles.

EDIT: I missed the "manga" part but Flying Witch is a manga (with enough source material for at least one more season beyond where the anime left off).

Seems like it's gonna focus on romance and comedy. Not what I was looking for but it made me laugh, so it's a keeper anyway. The paneling and expressions are really good.

New tezuka work just dropped. Kinda weird to see such different style from him. It is from 1951.

Ah... That was just the prologue, it returned to usual Tezuka style... Shame, maybe it was done in a later version...

The latest episode of Fieren seems to have everyone fighting clones of Fieren. If the clones have the same amount of mana I don't think they will pass the test.

the only thing surprising about this is the lack of human vegetables

I rewatched the first season of Shield Hero after ploughing through the novels. And noticed something I otherwise wouldn't. In the final episode, Motoyasu briefly talks like his future crazy self.

In the novels, after he winds up so buck broken that he only sees women ad literal pigs, he winds up with a speccial spear that lets him go back to day one whenever one of the four holy heroes are killed. I like the implication that he's already on a repeat loop.

I hope season 4 is a 26 episode one. That way they can get to the Takt arc. That arc legitimately had me enthralled. Pretty much everything went in directions I wasn't expecting. If not, that one'll get pushed to season 5.

Let's hope it gets a season 4, hype kinda hit a wall with the wider audience even though i really liked Shield Hero S3

Yeah. I'm happy it's still going. I know a lotta viewers dipped with the Spirit Tortise arc (And that really is a pretty bland arc), but it really does start picking up not long after. I like that there's always progression. Everyone's gear and outfits are always changing, Naofumi switches up who he takes with him fairly often and the stakes are always ramping up and expanding.

And it's one of the few isekai things that's like "Well, actually this medieval fantasy land sucks. It's kinda filthy, slavery is a big factor and I just wanna take my raccoon waifu and fuck off back to my cramped Tokyo apartment and live off NEETbucks."

I just wish we'd get some updates on the LNs.

I'll give it that, Shield Hero always feels like it's moving, giant tortoises notwithstanding. And it does feel like a messy dirty world. One that makes normies a bit uncomfortable lol. But that's kind of the good part too. It does it's own thing.

At least the anime version of the Spirit Tortoise arc speeds things a long. You can tell that even the staff wanted to get through it. It also sets up the reveal of the real antagonists a bit better than the novel version too. It's not like nothing big happens in it, but it just feels like too much of a stepping stone to get to more interesting stuff.

Yeah. It's grungy, but not in a drab Game of Thrones way or anything. It winds up with a very pragmatic and matter of fact view on the darker acts Naofumi winds up having to commit to make the world a bit safer. And always makes an argument that a good act and a moral act aren't always the same thing. Even Itsuki, the biggest moralfag at the start winds up changing his ways and becoming an expert in torture.
