Super Cub Reiko is great, and Cubs are indeed the coolest. You can go anywhere if you have one! I love the atmosphere and the style of this show.

Watched the first episode of Shadows House last night. It's interesting enough that I'll stick with it, but I wasn't necessarily blown away by it either. Maybe it will get better as more characters are introduced. We'll see!

Yeah that whole scene was pretty riveting! Really well done.

That episode took a turn I was not expecting..!

I'm liking Odd Taxi quite a bit. It's subtle, but also a bit quirky, and moves at a slowish pace without being boring (for me at least, maybe it puts other people to sleep ). I like the vibe I get from it, and the art style too.

Jays got rained out today too. Starting the season playing home games in Florida (without a dome) is going to lead to more than a few rain outs. I think it rains almost every afternoon down there this time of year. I hope they move north to Buffalo soon. I'm dreaming of them finally coming home to Toronto for home games by Canada Day (July 1st) but I think we're too far behind on vaccines to make that work... I can still dream though...

I got a few minutes into the first episode of 86 before my kid woke up from nap time and then I couldn't watch anymore. The synopsis got my attention a bit, and the first minute grabbed me. Could be interesting. I'll finish the episode off after bedtime tonight. I will also give Shadows House a look. I saw it in the new episodes on Funi and couldn't recall hearing anything about it.

Yeah I wouldn't bet against that

It's going to be interesting, about a year from now, seeing all the reactions to the ending from the anime-only people. I'm sure they will have similar complaints.

The Blue Jay lineup finally broke out last night. 15-1 win 15 runs with zero homeruns is a bit odd in today's HR-crazy game, but I'll take runs however they can get them! The team drew 9 walks altogether, so they're showing a bit more patience at the plate. So many strikeouts in the previous games. I know almost everybody strikes out more these days, but they need to get that under control a bit more. Matz was good again last night. 6 IP, 4 K, only 1 run allowed despite giving up 3 BB and 5 hits. The one run was a solo HR.

The CGSO is a somewhat rare things these days! Even just a regular old CG is not super common. The way pitchers are managed in the game has changed so much. The Jays hit a bit of a rough patch after taking 2-of-3 in New York and then beating Texas in their home opener. Their lineup ought to be able to score more runs. I'm hoping it's just a slow start... but every game counts when you're trying to get enough wins to get into the postseason.

First episode of TWEWY was pretty OK!

I was thinking about going on Reddit today to read all the overreactions but thought better of it

I'm not, like, dissatisfied with the ending, but I can nitpick a bit... at least after I've had a bit more time to think about it all first No matter how it ended, a segment of the fanbase was going to be unhappy. That's just how it goes. I don't count myself among the unhappy.

I'm still digesting it... might need to re-read the last few chapters and think on it a bit more...

Fridays will be known as Mecha Day for the Spring season I'm still enjoying Back Arrow quite a bit. It's not great, but I thinks it's a fun mix of some good characters and an interesting idea for mecha (Briheights). It gets a bit goofy at times. It's just a fun time. It doesn't have a great score on MAL, so I guess many people are not very high on it, but that's not going to take away from my enjoyment. SSSS.Dynazenon is good so far too. It's no AOTS candidate, but it's solid.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to describe it, but I figured their was a better way to describe it than "anime". "Animated comic" is a much better term. Almost feels like watching a visual novel. Like, it's not necessarily bad, but it's not what I was expecting. I don't mind the parts where it's mostly still and maybe just one small aspect is animated, but I find the parts where the whole picture shakes are a bit jarring and hard to watch. I know it's done for effect and all that, but my eyes/brain don't like it.

Chapter 139 of Attack on Titan is live on Crunchyroll now! I am going to read it now... I can't even guess how it's going to end. Very curious.

I checked in on that last night and thought it was pretty amusing. I was kinda thinking of just watching it all in one shot if I really liked it, since it's only 5 parts that are less than 20 minutes each, but I will probably also space it out a bit too. While it was amusing, one episode at a time feels like enough. I'm not in love with the animation style.

I don't really plan to use much summon materia so I'm good without Yuffie. I thought about recruiting her anyway just for the free Throw materia, but IIRC Throw is not as overpowered in FF7 as it is in some other classic FF games. Probably just a waste of time. And now that you mention it, yes I guess I just have to beat Lost Number and then move along without Vincent. That'll do.

I gotta get back on FF7... haven't played since last week. I'm at Nibelheim, so I don't think I'm too far away from the end of disc 1. I wasn't planning on doing many of the sidequests, or recruiting Yuffie or Vincent, but I think I need to do the Shinra Mansion sidequest to get Red's final limit break. Maybe I'll have a go at it tonight.

A winner for sure!

Super Cub #1 -- I'm an absolute sucker for this kind of story. The poor girl basically has nothing, lives by herself, no parents, no friends, etc. But she bought a Super Cub, one of the coolest motorbikes ever; so, slowly but surely, everything is going to turn around for her starting right now "I wonder how far my Cub will take me." I can't wait to find out! (The first episode moved at a very slow pace, I'm not sure how many other people would be into it... but I will like this show no matter what)
