Oh man Jojo: Stone Ocean is great. the way Jolyne is animated is straight up bad ass. Once she makes up her mind on something she takes no S@%t from anyone and the way they animate her body language just screams it on every level.

Taisho Otome Fairy Tale is cute, fanservicey (not lewd, I hasten to add)
I do not understand the words that are coming out of your mouth.

Wow...so new version of "Number One" hit me harder than I expected.
Has it really been 20 years
New Season New Anime
Orient: Demons took over Japan during the warring states period. Only the Bushi were able to fight back. Now a couple of punks decide they are going to be Bushi and kill monsters. Power of Friendship abounds. Fun Shonen action
In the Land of LeadaleA young girl in the hospital's only life was a VR game. When a Power Outage shuts down her life support she finds herself in the world of the game 200 years later in the timeline. And the tales of her being the PK fiend known as the "Silver Ring Witch" are still being told. This was nice and wholesome
Tokyo 24th ward 50 minutes long. The 24th ward is an artificial island created in Tokyo Harbour that was originally owned by foreign interests and is now being re-integrated into the city of Tokyo. To deal with crime and make the tradition easier, a system known as "Hazard Cast" predicts crimes before they happen. Mayor and sponsor of the system is annoyed they can't use it to arrest people before they commit crimes but he is looking to change that.
Our lead characters are the RGB boys; The Hacker, the Suit and the Hero Boy who get a call from their dead friend warning them of a tragedy about to happen (Straight up Trolly problem. Out of control Train of people, vs. Girl stuck on the tracks.) She seems to power them up allowing them to save everyone and give the finger to philosophy majors everywhere. This was fun kind of Minority Report meet Anohana meets Samurai Flaminco.
So 2022 Anime is off to a good start with three nice shows out the gate.
Life with an Ordinary Guy Who Reincarnated into a Total Fantasy Knockout;.....bloody hell these titles.
SO two office workers in their 30s (Dubbed by the show as "Old Guys", so me being 48, this show has already made me feel bad in the first couple of minutes) get Isekaied after a night out at a mixer.
Now these two have been best friends since childhood. Guy A is tall, handsome and serious looking, Has no real interest in women and is just fine spending every day with his best friend. Guy B is 100% average and 0 luck with girls, because they all go for his best friend.
One mixer later he's in the depression stage of Drunkeness, and wishes he was a gorgeous blond too cute for this world that everyone would fawn over. Guy A laughs it off with "Lets get you home buddy"
Enter the Goddess who asks "Is he dead yet?".
Then promptly kills them both cause she needs to make up the numbers for the Heroes going to save her world from the local Demon Lord.
As a flavor she grants Guy B's drunken wish to be a cute blond girl.
When our two new heroes don't show any sort of gratitude for having their wish granted she lays down the only Curse a Goddess of Love can muster.
Now they must defeat the Demon Lord, before they fall in love with each other.
Read some Grappler Baki and it is a standard super-muscled guys pound on each other story. Yuujiro is very boring though sine he never loses.

Watched Shaman King and Eden's Zero on Netflix. Looking forward to more episodes to drop for those (especially Shaman King).
Also watched Way of the Househusband (Gokushufudō) on Netflix. And while I'm not really into slice of life anime, I've got to say... that series is hilarious!
Got to see the movie edition of Macross Plus in theaters last year with my son. Didn't know if he would enjoy an old school classic like that, but he loved it. Gives me hope for the future (sniff, sniff).
Need to catch up on Demon Slayer season 2 (having watched the movie in theaters, I took a pass on episodes 2-7).
Need to finish watching Cells at Work!! and and Cells at Work: Code Black.
Watched Rebuild of Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time after doing a rewatch of the previous three movies on Amazon Prime. I enjoyed it very much and loved the ending.
Need to watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean.
I have been enjoying the heck out of Fantasy Knockout
Tchibana, the guy who has been turned into a girl, is a total Gremlin, who enjoys using his/her new feminine whiles to bring chaos wherever he/she goes.
and now we have Shwartz, who is champion of the Goddess of Night just being a total goofy edge-lord Kirito clone.
I should not like this show as much as I do, but it has become one of my favourites this season.
Got to catch a couple episodes of Grimoire of Zero at Katsucon; light fare, entertaining though. Need to track it down.

Steins Gate has been entertaining, along with Megalobox and I'm Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years. Started up Komi-san and it's as good as expected. Kind of checked out since we're watching everything dubbed, but at least I'll get to hear AmaLee as Marin when we start watching that.
You poor man.

Well the Crunchyroll x Funimation merger has begun. Whole bunch of Funi titles will be dropping into the CR library, along with their Englush Dubs (and a few other languages as well).

Ah, excellent. More shows for us to struggle to watch on their atrocious Xbox app.
Old PS3 App for me
Which is pretty much "There is a 50/50 chance you can watch 1 episode before the entire system freezes up"So I mostly just watch off my PC.

I watch it on my phone.
So the funimation app is gone now?

I don't think it's gone yet, but they have started moving their catalogue over to Crunchyroll
The former "this" of the above quote makes an ultra-colossal return as this again. For those that don't mind having a truncated subtitled version, check here then.
P.S. For those preferring a more recent "new-gen" take on the whole thing, both a subtitled version and an english-dubbed version are available. ;)
On the anime-ish adjacent, Tokusatsu front, in a bit of a callback to an 'Ultra' blast from the past, the Japanese subtitled, official translation of the entire ULTRAMAN GINGA S THE MOVIE: SHOWDOWN! THE 10 ULTRA WARRIORS! feature film is now available in it's entirety for free [unsure of how long it'll remain available though...]. ;)
In addition, the fully compiled episodes of ULTRA GALAXY FIGHT:THE ABSOLUTE CONSPIRACY, both in the subtitled original Japanese language and the English dubbed version, is available now, along with the Prologue to upcoming sequel, ULTRA GALAXY FIGHT:THE DESTINED CROSSROAD- also available both in subtitled Japanese and English dub, as well. :)
PS. Additionally, both TOEI TOKUSATSU WORLD OFFICIAL and TokuSHOUTsu also have other various Tokusatsu offerings available for your perusal; some are subtitled, others are of limited availability.

For something based on a Phone game, Princess Connect is knocking it out of the park with their last few episodes.

Netflix is getting Bastard
Mix of both excitement and fear on this one. I mean this series is full on 80/90s Heavy Metal, Not exactly politically correct sort of thing.

Finishing up How A Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom and Attack on Titan. Back to waiting for Rising of the Shield Hero. Though I might try to track down some of the Fate series I haven't caught, Grimoire of Love, or rewatch a few old ones.

Over the last couple of months I watched Vision of Escaflowne, which was good. I noticed a lot of similarities between that and War on Geminoar, but I don't know how much of WoG was take from VoE specifically and how much was just standard anime plot. Either way, I liked it. I recently started Gunbuster and it seems ok after 2 episodes.
You are in for a RIDE

Cute Girls Doing Cute Things
most of them are pretty much exactly that with a different extra theme tacked on; Music, Board Games, Sports, Going to the Antarctic, etc...
There are a couple that have some really neat twists though.
"School Live" had a pretty good twist.

But when will we be getting more Tenjo Tenge?
That series truly ate Ikki Tousen's lunch.

Ahh... Tenjho Tenge. Had one banger of an opening.
I'd love to see them pick up where that series left off at. That tournament arc was shaping up to be epic.

Actually started watching the anime version of the Netflix series Alice in Borderland on ANoD (Anime Network on Demand). There appear to be only three episodes so far, and it looks like the anime is an older one, say 20-teens if I'm judging by the style.
I think I prefer the live action series over what I've seen so far with the anime.
Not sure what I think of the Netflix Shaman King ending, but to be fair... I don't recall how the original anime series ended either. I may have to track that down and compare the two.
I'm going to have to rewatch the second half of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045. I was following it all up until the last couple of episodes and then things just got... weird.
