Maybe it's because we have kittens now so it's much more amplified, but reading Chi's Sweet Home makes me happy. Can't quite binge it, though, much like the Madhouse anime.

I've spoken about it in a couple of other threads, but a Manga called Do-Retry just finished.
It's a Boxing Manga about an Orphan in WW2 Era Japan, went 19 chapters and was an okay read given it is that short and won't take up much time.

Genjitsu no Yohane is also getting a second video game, this time being a deckbuilding game, and will be releasing next year:
The sheer amount of Love Live! content being pumped out, and the rate of it, does make me wonder if the whole franchise is a massive money laundering front, and that they're trying to push these things out, hoping that they'll flop, for tax rebate purposes. (Is writing off expenses as a total loss even a thing in Japan?)

Reincarnated as a vending machine just ended if you're watching subbed (dubbed still has two weeks)
I don't know how to feel about Boxxo only just unlocking an OP ability at the end of the episode for one task. How will it affect things on a day to day basis now? We'll never know unless we read the manga

Poor Gosho. She got a horrible deal, felt bad for her.
Even though Blood on the Tracks is less graphic/extreme than Happiness it was a lot more upsetting.

The first game looks fun, it's yout typical Inti Creates Castlevania clone. This time instead of the Gal Gun girls, it'll be Aquors.

You're just now figuring this out? Every Vtuber after Kizuna AI is pretty blatant about it.

I did like how batshit insane Diebuster was (plus the OP was a real ear worm) but honestly it and Gunbuster both felt a bit underwhelming. Gunbuster had a rocky first act and Diebuster's ending aside from the call back just didn't do anything for me.

Holy crap, do not watch Battle Skipper. I expected it would be some cool mecha battles and transformations with good 80s/90s animation, but aside from some of the designs, everything about all that was so lacklustre. On top of that, they decided to make it a seinen ecchi mahou shoujo Project A-Ko ripoff anime with high school girls. It's not only unnecessarily pervy, but creatively bankrupt! This seemingly was for no good reason, especially considering the toys the OVA was based on had typical child-oriented marketing. I guess part of the reason I so heavily disliked Battle Skipper is because it had no reason not to be a kiddy mecha anime with great cel animation, and I would have loved it if it was that.
Gunbuster was way better than Diebuster for me. I liked the time dilation stuff, ship/mech designs, black-and-white episode, and cool 2D cel animation in Gunbuster, while Diebuster was a downgrade in several ways -- from the CGI to the designs to the unnecessary weird near-rape scene. Diebuster could have been good, with the sheer scale of it all, but it unfortunately wasn't.

I saw it a long time ago and cannot tell you a single damn thing about it. Despite the timeperiod, there's just a lot of crummy, forgettable OVAs from then out there.

I mean nearly being killed by a crazed lunatic twice and losing the guy you liked because hes a vampire now is bad and all but tbh makoto got screwed hard what with becoming a vampire and almost escaping only to end up as a lab rat for 10 years and his friend being mauled to death by bunch of loony cultists atleast hes got some company on the moon ( wait how the fuck did they end up on the moon without suffocating to death ).

Jujutsu Kaisen sperging, I dislike anime but this has become a guilty pleasure:
So apparently Gojo is dead. He "won the fight against Sukuna" but he died soon after. Also, Sukuna is "the king of the curses" so he is very very very strong, so strong in fact he can cut through space and time. It's just as retarded as it sounds.
Gojo might not be "dead dead", but what I noticed about terrible Japanese writing, specially in shonen shit, is that the NEET comic artists can never find somewhat reasonable explanations for killing off a powerful character. It's always "this dude is STRONGER than the strongest, that's why he lost". Kind of like autistic wrestling writing where the normal or fairly strong dude will always get squashed by the meat head, and so on.
There's never any room for creativity or nuanced, they have to get the next issue asap. Which btw, it seems like Geje "forgot" to write the chapter showing Sukuna owning Gojo. Which is why "the death is coming off wrong" That was in a shitty article, there's other ones "reporting" that Geje is getting "death threats", so take it with a grain of salt.

I read a tweet thread where someone tried to contact the Taliban to go after geje.
But honestly not surprising with the top series of Shonen Jump delivering shit final arcs that people are competing who'd be worse/better between Horikoshi and gege

Good Lord, fans have become more retarded/insane since End of Evangelion. Hideaki Anno is super lucky the Internet hadn't taken off yet, he could've necked himself back then.

That tweet with Taliban, of course Taliban replies are gone. The second picture is Taliban asking the person if they want to join Taliban instead.

So is Sukuna dead? Sealed? It's not like Gojo ever had a chance considering he is the same as All Might narratively - a nearly omnipotent mentor figure, if he wins then the entire plot doesn't matter. Also did the manga even say if the Sakura equivalent girl died or not?
I think my biggest issue with Jujutsu Kaisen is how lazy it is. A lot of explanations why things are the way they are are basically "because bloodlines and shit".

Honestly, it's not even Sukuna himself being a "the strongest le badd guy" trope that aggravates me about the whole Gojo v. Sukuna debacle.
It's the fact that, on top of being OP on his own, he also HAS to have a fully-tamed superweapon demon that is "notoriously uncontrollable and untamable by the clan that uses it", that basically says "no, u" to anything you throw at it, like a kindergartener making shit up on the playground so he can feel better about himself.
It's typical shonen pitfall of writing yourself into a corner through ass-pulling for the sake of cliffhangers and "topping" battles and powers seen previously in a series, just so you can have spectacles for the average consumer to gush about without thinking about the actual plot(holes).
The story could've started wrapping up with this chapter if Gojo had legit won, but nope. It has to stall for another 30 chapters and pull more bullshit out thin air to justify how the B-Team will manage to defeat the Strongestest™ foe that beat the Strongest™ good guy.
Seems pretty alive so far, though it remains to be seen how (if at all) weakened he is going forwards.
One of the problems with having a side character be both the strongest and the fan-favourite is that he almost always goes one of two ways - either he overshadows the protagonist when he shows up and diminishes his growth, or he carries a very obvious death flag and you're left wondering when he'll kick the bucket for dramatical effect.
From what I remember they hinted at it through the characters' vague dialogue and facial expressions, but I don't recall them outright saying so or showing the actual corpse/grave, so she could somehow still be alive because of course she would.
