I watched the new Spriggan mini-series on Netflix this week. Pretty good stuff. Animation quality dipped in a few spots, and the translation could have used some more proof-reading, but I enjoyed it overall. Hopefully there will be more. There was a post-credits scene in the final episode.

Thanks! Gonna get take-out tonight and drink a bunch of beer and stay up maybe until midnight, aren’t I wild and crazy

Fantastic stuff in chapter #76 Several very funny Anya moments

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, new one-hour special of SnK!

Yeah overall I'm pretty disappointed by how PPPPPP ended. Chapters the last several weeks have been mostly hard to follow, and then the sudden ending. Felt like it was a bit rushed, even if it was already close to reaching the end point. I agree about that one thing though---Lucky slugging his dad on the final page was a nice touch. So much of what led up to it was a mess though Did you ever catch up on Choujin X? A loooooot happened in the latest chapter (35). It was a lot to take in. Not as good IMO as the chapters that preceded it, but it seems like we're building up to more cool stuff happening.

I wasn’t going to check out the new one right away, but with PPPPPP done now (total bummer!) I guess there is a spot open on my reading list…

Yeah, I am loving the background details that are being revealed in Trigun Stampede.

More good stuff this week in episode #7 of Trigun Stampede. I am thoroughly enjoying this show! Revenger is getting more weird and gritty than I expected with the whole opium angle. It’s not my favourite new show, but I like how it has been a bit unpredictable.

Latest chapter of Ichinose Family was very good stuff too … PPPPPP was a bit more interesting, and made more sense, this week. I would rather just get back to focusing on Lucky… but I guess I’m also up for Dada-sensei’s back story.

Loved the new chapter of The Elusive Samurai (97) this week

Crazy stuff going on in Stray Dogs this week!

Did you do anything fun to celebrate?

Kinda feels like both Sakamoto Days and Elusive Samurai could be building up to big final showdowns soon-ish. Other non-spoiler random thoughts: I feel like PPPPPP has lost its direction—or I just don’t get what’s going on these past few chapters (totally possible ). In any case, I’m not enjoying it is much anymore… I am absolutely loving these ‘Fetching Tea’ chapters of Akane-banashi Interesting twist in JJK this week! Overall, I am getting tired of the Culling Game arc, but events at the end of this week’s chapter have renewed my interest.

Chapter #75

Happy birthday!

Buddy Daddies grew on me very quickly after not being super thrilled by the first episode. It’s kind of dumb and derivative/unoriginal (in that I think the creators are basically trying to ride the wave created by Spy x Family by taking that concept and tweaking it a bit)… but Miri, while in some ways is very annoying, amuses me to no end because she reminds me so much of my girls. You might like it or you might hate it

Yeah that was pretty wild. Good timing too since it was kinda starting to get boring. Now I'm intrigued all over again. The looping thing is reminiscent a bit of Erased ( if I'm remembering that correctly... )

I'm all-in on Buddy Daddies. If I didn't have kids, maybe I would hate it... I am really enjoying Trigun. I haven't watched the original anime in forever, and I don't think I ever read the manga... so in a way it feels like I'm seeing this story for the first time again. Great to see Wolfwood join the action this week

After a short break, I watched episodes 7-9 last night. So many more fantastic moments. Bocchi's whole summer break ordeal Kita going all Bocchi-like when they find our her full name The concert! I love this show and I can't wait to watch the last few episodes but I also don't want to watch them because then it will be over

Very solid new episodes of Stray Dogs and Revenger this week

Kids… In other news, I’m still enjoying Trigun a lot!

It might have been short-lived..! Late last night before bedtime, I decided to give the second episode of Buddy Daddies a try, fully expecting to not like it and then probably never watch the show again... but I honestly thought it was very amusing. The kid is of course very annoying, but she reminds me quite a lot of all the annoying things my own kids did (and continue to do in the case of our 4 year old) so I couldn't help but laugh. That first scene, the kid needing the toilet and then whining for a lift up and all that, that's played out in my own apartment several times over the last couple years. I can't help but appreciate it. So, I will at least give this show one more week. I'm going to watch the second episode of Trigun now.

Haven’t watched the second episode yet but I wasn’t impressed with the first one I did however enjoy the second episode of Revenger more than the first. I’ll stick with it a while longer!

Also, I think the drunken bass player that is introduced in episode #6 is my new favourite character ever

This whole Correa saga has been quite unbelievable! I hope he stays on the field and plays well in Minnesota. I'd like to see the Twins return to relevance again. They had a nice stretch of competitiveness in the 2000's. Those were some solid teams. But mostly losing seasons since 2010. Correa ought to be the best player on their team if he stays healthy. Buxton is also a player with lots of potential, and I think he's been a bit more consistent the last couple years. They have some other perfectly decent position players too. Seems like they can't develop pitching though, at least not in recent years.
