Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Manga
I've been reading Full Metal Panic: Sigma, while watching The Second Raid alongside it. It's interesting, considering it has some differences from the anime. Some for good, others for worse. I prefer the Anime, but the Manga is good too.
The other two manga I've been following, The Lies of Sheriff Evans: Dead or Love and Shibuya Near Family are both still fun.
Anime:
I've recently watched Gundam 00 - I wrote more about that here.
Tokimeki Tonight is still a fun show when it comes to the wacky comedy and artsy backgrounds.
Ranma 1/2 (1989) - Rumiko Takahashi's writing is consistently entertaining, and over a dozen episodes in, it keeps delivering. Will the show be able to keep up? I hope so!
Another entertaining show is You're Under Arrest!. Is it copaganda? Yes. Has a certain aspect of the show aged poorly? Also yes. What the show excels in, are the villains of the week. Strike Man will be living in my head rent free for a bit, I suppose.
Dragon Ball Z is peak, over 60 episodes in.
**Western Animation & Live Action **
I'm still watching Gravity Falls, and it's good, if formulaic. Apparently people dislike Mabel and like Dipper? Because so far it's the exact opposite for me lol.
Also, I started Andor. I like it so far, but it's clearly still cooking at this stage.

I read gunnm on my phone and yeah, jealous, because say what you will that series is stunning to look at.
My library had the whole set, and they all have acquisition dates around the movie release lol.
I'm planning on picking up the first volume of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, which is also in a large (softcover, in this case) format, soonish. I'm feasting!
