Delayed a bit to let the new seasonals start.

Manga:

I started Five Star Stories (1987) and Kowloon Generic Romance, but have not gone far into them. Good to see some quality world building though. Something often missing these days.

Anime:

Super Robot Wars W is excellent, and it convinced me to watch Tekkaman Blade. A good early 90s sci-fi mechanime. So far it's pretty lean in story, but what's there is good. B+

I've been continuing shows I've been watching with comrades, and Full Metal Panic is still peak.

Not much of a status update, but I figured to make this month's thread, because nobody else did.

i tried that for a couple of seasons some years ago and the biggest problem was the amount of repetitive slop (isekai is the biggest problem but not the only one). i tried to watch at least one episode to avoid skipping something good but there were shows that barely lasted after the opening. i learned to watch only shows i'm heavilly interested in and to not waste time in anything that could be "potentially interesting". if i miss something good i can always go back an try it

funnily enough, the only non-sequel anime i'm watching this season is an isekai (red ranger goes adverturing or something)

Yeah, I skipped a few in like, 2 minutes. When the isekai goes on a literal fast forward to explain the background, you know it's going to be bad. There's a way to know if something will be at least decent
