I think you're gonna really like Horimiya: Piece. Some of the episodes were SO GOOD. What a wonderful cast of characters in this story. I think Iura's episode might have been my favourite, but it's hard to pick just one favourite episode/moment from it. So much to choose from. Were you following Bungo Stray Dogs before? This latest season was... a mixed bag (IMO)... but still worth a look if you were following it before.

It sounds like the show has lost it's broadcast slot on TV in Japan going into the fall season because of some other show... and I guess it needs to air on TV in Japan before it goes onto the streaming services (there's a delay of like 12 or 24 hours from broadcast to when it goes live on Crunchyroll IIRC). Looks like it is basically in hiatus for now until the broadcasting situation can get sorted in Japan. Which is a bummer since there are only three episodes left.

Saturday night was a bittersweet one with both Horimiya and MIX ending. They were both very good. Part of me is sad to see them end, but the other part is glad to be left wanting more. I hope there will be a third season of MIX eventually... I'd really love to see the boys finally make it to Koshien... Not much left (for me) from summer season now. One more episode of AI no Idenshi, and the last few episodes of Zom 100... but it seems nobody knows when they're going to air yet. According to Crunchyroll: "Following up on Japan's episode 9 broadcast for the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime, the official accounts commented on plans for the remaining episodes. The plan at the moment isa bit of a wait and see approach for the rest of us, as broadcast timing for episodes 10-12 has yet to be confirmed." So, after we get episode 9 (tomorrow I think?), who knows about the last three. That's kind of annoying. .

The final episode of Stray Dogs was going quite well, I thought. I have enjoyed this story quite a bit, but at the same time, I feel like I've had enough. And this season in particular was getting a bit too random for me. It could have ended rather nicely. Then came the final minute or so with the brief time skip and mysterious bad guy and the dreaded "To be continued" text on the screen. Hopefully the show takes a break for at least a few season---maybe until next summer?---before coming back. Otherwise I'm just not gonna be able to get hyped up for it.

Kencho is the best Bea is a great addition to this cast of characters but Shizuka is still best girl. Gotta love that strong desire from Bea and Akira to pig out on sushi though Rather random that this sushi place is still in tact, but whatevs. Like, no shit of course they can drink all the sake in the house, the place is surrounded by the living dead and you're probably never going to see paying customers again anyways Party like it's the end of the world! The dynamic for this story seems to be heavy / light-hearted / heavy / light-hearted / etc., so after this episode... I feel like it's gotta get dark again soon. Are they gonna show up in Gunma to find Akira's parents already turned into zombies?

Only one week left of MIX And Horimiya This week's episode of Horimiya was great. Loved the flashback to Hori's parents in high school. I think Stray Dogs wraps up this week too (only 11 episodes). Very curious how it all comes together. JJK was effin' rad this week. Can't wait to keep seeing the Shibuya Incident played out in anime.
-
This week's episode of MIX was such a gut punch...
-
Yeah it was a long wait for another episode of JJK. I enjoyed the new episode. Horimiya is probably AOTS. A few weeks ago I decided to give Ayaka another try. Still not loving it, but this week's episode was actually quite good. Jingi

Horimiya -piece- #5 Usually Sengoku and Remi are my least favourite characters, but they both grew on me a bit in this episode. Sengoku was still pretty annoying during the first half of the episode at the sleepover, even if his pathetic attempts to look under Miyamura's shirt were pretty hilarious But the scene with them walking home from school was rather charming. And then Kono getting Remi the cookies at the end More excellent comedic relief from Iura in this episode too. Dude is low-key one of the best characters in this series In other news: I am *so hyped* for the next few episodes of MIX. I'm not sure if the boys are going all the way to Koshien this summer... but there are still enough episodes left in the summer season that their run isn't over yet. The next game against Seinan is going to be epic.

I noticed that more Bastard!! was up on Netflix. Haven't gotten around to starting it yet, but I am looking forward to it!
-
Okay, I am officially down on this weeks episode of Stray Dogs (#4 of this season)
-
This week's Zom 100 What a wild ride this story is. (Felt bad for the one girl though (Yukari IIRC ?) ) I got the new Stray Dogs episode queued up for tonight
-
Iura's episode in Horimiya this week was goddamn hilarious
-
Stray Dogs #3 (#53 overall I think?) JJK Hidden Inventory #4
-
I dunno, I'm sure some live-action series are legit good, but I simply won't watch them. I am happy with manga and anime. Don't need no LA.
-
I didn't know there was also a live action thing coming out this summer. Huh. It must be a super popular manga.
-
Caught up to speed on Zom 100. It's pretty good! Various thoughts on the first three episodes:
-
Yeah, I forgot to mention that one. Atsushi is in tough right now. The reveal and the end of this week's episode was very exciting to see and I am hyped for next week! Also, Ranpo continues to be awesome. Kinda mis-read the situation with Fukuchi though
-
JJK #3 - Glad that I didn't have login issues with Crunchyroll last night!
-
JJK has been very good. So has Horimiya You gotta catch up on it sooner or later! I decided last night when I couldn't sleep last night to Ayaka one more trying. I made it through all three episodes, and it does get a bit better than my bad first impression where I dropped it after like 90 seconds But it's still not that great. I'm gonna keep watching to try to will a good original anime into existence this season... but it's not looking great...
-
Horimiya is just a delight. I love this show I have also been enjoying the return of JJK. Haven't gotten around to checking out Zom 100 but maybe I will this week.
-
First episode back of Stray Dogs was good stuff! Ranpo is the man Also apparently nobody ever actually dies in this show, I think they all came back
-
First episode back of JJK was very good! I also watched the first episode of AI no Idenshi last night and it was interesting enough for me to keep going with it.
-
I bailed on Ayaka after less than two minutes. It didn't grab me and I really doubt I will enjoy it. Bummer. But I am thrilled to have Horimiya back in my life The new episode was fantastic with many LOL moments.

This summer I will definitely be watching Horimiya, JJK, and Stray Dogs. Whenever Bastard!! hits Netflix, I'll continue watching it too. Maybe not right away, but I'll get to it eventually. This season is looking pretty damn weak when it comes to anime originals. Good, single-season, original anime with a complete story == the Holy Grail that I search for in every new season It looks like Ayaka could be the only contender this season. I'll check it out if it's on Crunchyroll. AI no Idenshi has also piqued my interest a little bit just from reading the synopsis. Maybe it will be trash. Maybe it will be good. I'm always up for a good sci-fi show, so here's hoping it's good. Madhouse isn't what it used to be, but I think they still do quality stuff, so hopefully the looks and style catch my eye even if the story is on the weak side. We'll see.
