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.

Finished

Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Great, but don't have much to say. Currently reading Kyubey tactical forcefem fanfic, though.

Dandadan - Episode 9 was visually stunning, but I wouldn't actually recommend the series to most. Very mixed opinions.

Watching

Planetes - Every episode I find a half dozen things to complain about, but it still has me watching, so.

Watching, currently airing

BanG Dream! Ave Mujica - It's peak.

Rewatching

Metallic Rouge - With a friend who hasn't seen it yet.

Started, may continue

World Conquest Zvezda Plot

Magia Record: Puella Magi Madoka Magica Side Story

Yeah, Planetes was a big disappointment for me, especially since there was good stuff in it. Just more liberalism.

Episode 17 was pretty great though especially considering we also currently have Nazis in charge of our space program again.
