I just finished The Executioner & Her Way Of Life.
I don't want to sound negative, but honestly, this series was full of missed potential. I mean, an series that takes apart the isekai genre and adding a WLW story to it sounded good, but the series felt like a massive-let down, almost like a bad parody of "deconstructive" works. If another season does happen, I hope it getts better.
Also, I just rewatched Season 1 of Beyblade for some reason. I guess nostalgia or something?

I found the entire premise too mean spirited, and bleak to tolerate.

Been catching up on some recent shows that sort of had my eye lately, specifically Call of the Night and Spy X Family. Kept putting off the latter for forever just since I was sick to death of hearing about it but it really is a good show, though of the two I'm digging Call of the Night more.

Binged through all of My Hero Academia over the last couple weeks. No idea what took me so long to do so. Amazing stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyed the first two episodes of Bleach's TYBW.
{Spoiler}{Contains Spoilers} Looking forward to the Wandenreich's invasion of the Soul Society. That's one of my favorite parts of the arc.

I’m trying so hard to finish the anime and get caught up before Hunter X Hunter’s first new chapter since 2018 on Sunday, but I don’t think I’m going to make it. 😦

I caught up on the dub of Engage Kiss today... I have to ask anyone else who has seen this show... Am I alone in not liking Shu Ogata? I view his relationship with the girls as rather toxic and unhealthy.

All I need to do is read the unadapted stuff, and I am ready for the new chapter (!) in about 11 hours (!!)

Speaking of Hunter x Hunter, there's this youtube channel where one guy streams every day doing 1000 punches until Hunter x Hunter comes back. Recently, he's doing 10000 punches every day, with streams taking around 9 hours each day. www.youtube.com/channel/UCeEBly9gLmK8wCxfyJlZoTg/videosAnd current stream, around 7 hours in at around 8k punches.

Was in a mood for something cute and easy to watch yesterday, so I watched the entirety of Isekai Izakaya again. Fifteen minute episodes lend themselves well to a binge, and no one seems inclined to have it taken down from Youtube despite Crunchyroll paywalling it on their app.

Dragon Ball:
I'm watching the King Piccolo arc for the first time, and interestingly, the narrator in the dub refers to King Piccolo as an alien at one point, when that retcon didn't happen until Z.
Since the Original Dragon Ball anime's dub wasn't done until 2002, according to the end credits, I wonder if they did that to provide better continuity between Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z.
Other Thoughts:
1) They could not have made it any more obvious that something was going to happen to Krillin. He was practically communicating in semaphore with all the death flags he was waving around at the end of the Tien/tournament arc.
2) The menace of Piccolo's forces is greatly reduced by the instrument theme naming. Tambourine can kinda get away with it, but Cymbal, Drum, and Piano just don't.
3) King Piccolo's leitmotif slaps.
