No need to apologize, I love a good wall-of-text! Thanks for your insight. Blood and gore aren't necessarily so bad in theory, because in some shows/styles it's kind of just silly, but if that goes along with a bit of a horror vibe, like super spooky demons that will cause her imagination to run wild (she is already kind of afraid of the dark still) then that could be problematic. I guess I'll just have to watch a few episodes myself and see what I think! Thanks for the input. I'm leaning towards us watching the show together... but I will review a few episodes first.

My daughter keeps asking me if we can watch Demon Slayer together. I still don't know much of anything about this story. What say ye re: how appropriate you think this would be for a 12 (going on 13) year old? I'm sure I watched worse at that age myself because my parents were pretty disinterested in what I was watching on TV, but I am trying to be a bit more aware of the content my kids are consuming without being too overbearing about it... I'm not so much concerned with profanity, because honestly she hears enough bad language around the house coming out of my mouth I'm wondering more about how violent/gory or scary it is, because she does scare somewhat easily (we don't need nightmare fuel for her), and I'm wondering how much fan service-y stuff there is.

SKIP AND LOAFER !

Yeah, the AL Central is so bad. Mix them into the AL East and they would all be in last place It's starting to get late pretty early here for both our teams. The Jays or M's could still go on a hot streak and get right back into the WC or division races... but they gotta get hot soon. The Jays also lost a bunch of games to division rivals here in May, which hurts them in the standings. You get fewer chances against division teams now, so you have to make the most of the games you have against them.

The Cards got that devil magic, but they're still seven games below .500 and second last in a pretty bad division. There's still time left for them to go on a run and eventually win the division, especially because the other teams are not the greatest... I think the NLC comes down to Milwaukee or St. Louis. The Pirates were a fun story to start the season but I think it's all downhill from here for them

Skip and Loafer continues to be AOTS for me, I adore this show and all the characters (even Mika )

Odd Taxi was indeed very good. I kept praising it in the seasonal thread ... holy shit that was like two years ago now Anyways, nobody else got on board to discuss it with me at the time I loved everything about this one!

Yay! It's great

The Elusive Samurai #109 Finally something exciting is set to happen in Jujutsu Kaisen We also skipped ahead to big stuff in Akane-banashi! I am kind of nervous to see things go for Akane. Latest chapters of Sakamoto Days have been great too. Very curious to see the conclusion of these flashback chapters.

I'm not really a hockey fan anymore, and certainly not much of a Leafs fan even if I still watched hockey. So they don't faze me anymore They always find a way to disappoint. I was more bummed about the Raptors this season. They have some talented players but they're an awful team. It was a terrible thing to watch. My Blue Jays might also disappoint me in the end this summer, but that could be more of an "out of their control" situation. The AL East is tough. They could win a ton of games and still come up short.

Every week Hell's Paradise confuses me in a new and interesting way I am not exactly loving this show, but I'm not hating it either. I guess it's one of those "it's just OK but you have to watch it to see what happens" kind of shows. Skip and Loafer continues to be the runaway hit for me this season. I look forward to it the most every week.

Yeah, the AL East is looking strong this year. The more balanced schedule is making it less of a bloodbath. They play each other a bit less, and play teams from weaker divisions more. Both Central divisions are quite bad. Especially the AL Central. Also, what's going on with the Cardinals Anyways, I could see four 90-win teams in the AL East when all is said and done. Maybe all AL East teams in the Wild Card games! I expected the Red Sox to be the last place team though, not the Yanks. When are your M's going to get back on track??

The second season of Witch from Mercury has been nuts I hope you're all still watching Anelle, Lucy, and Ma.

Bummer about the injury to Ray for Seattle too

I have definitely been watching and enjoying the new season of Dr. Stone. Two unexpected hits for me this season are Skip and Loafer and A Galaxy Next Door. Especially Skip and Loafer I recommend it for sure. @Anelle I think you might enjoy both of these shows.

The damn Rays… They’ve mostly been playing bad teams, but still kudos to them for winning all the games. Toronto should give them more of a challenge—I hope One problem is that the rotation is lined up such that Berrios, Kikuchi, and Manoah will be pitching this weekend. Berrios might just be bad now, Kikuchi is super unreliable, and Manoah is struggling to start this season. Yikes.

Great to have Suletta back in my life

Second episode of Hell’s Paradise was pretty solid. More memorable for me than the first. So I’ll stick with it a while longer.

I watched the first episode of A Galaxy Next Door tonight and I enjoyed it quite a lot. Good feel/vibes and I think it’s going to be a nice little story.

They won’t be this good all summer, but wow the Rays are off to a hot start! It’s nice to see the Pirates winning some games early on. The way that team has been run is quite pathetic. I want to see nice things for their fans.

Looking around at stuff in Crunchyroll last night, I totally did not realize that last year they did a Dr. Stone film introducing Ryusui. Watched it last night, and, I gotta say, it got me pretty hyped for the new season. Bring on the new world!

Sounds like a good time to me

Chapter 78

Lots of good stuff this week The Elusive Samurai Fabricant 100 Akane-banashi I am feeling pretty lost in Ichinose Family right now A bit reminiscent of PPPPPP in that regard. Eventually I assume it will all make sense. And I think I am even more lost in Jujutsu Kaisen. Gonna need to read a plot summary when the Culling Game arc ends New chapters of Gokurakugai and Show-ha Shoten! hit today too. I will read them tonight.

Happy birthday! Party down!
