Happy birthday dude!

You’re gonna enjoy the rest of Frieren! It’s been great. A Sign of Affection keeps impressing me. It’s such a charming and heart-warming show. Feels so good to watch it every week I am gonna be bummed out when it’s over.

I am setting expectations low for the Jays. They didn’t do much in the off-season to improve the team. Really though, the biggest improvement would be for Vlad to play up to his potential. They should have been a better team last year and would have been if Vlad was hitting like in 2021. I can see the Jays finishing 3rd or 4th in the AL East and missing the Wild Card. It feels like their narrow window of opportunity from a couple years ago might have closed already The O’s are likely going to be a problem this year. I could see them struggling a bit after their big surprise last summer, and I’m hoping they stumble a bit… but really they should be a strong team again, and for years to come. The Rays always find a way to compete. I’m not counting the Yankees out just yet. And while I expect Boston to be a bad team this year, sometimes they can surprise you too. There will also be more heated competition for the WC spots from ALC and ALW teams like last summer. Overall my outlook isn’t great for Toronto this year. I hope to be proven wrong!

DB Super #102 — We’re officially past the events of the Super Hero movie now. It hasn’t launched into a new story arc yet but I assume it will eventually. This was a fun “let’s see who’s stronger now” sparring chapter which is going to carry into at least one more chapter. I liked it.

Frieren #23 Frieren falling for Mimics is never not funny You see the joke coming a mile away and it’s still funny. I am really enjoying the First Class Mage Exam. The dungeon they’re all crawling through right now is great.

Yeah for sure. The author succeeded in adding depth and complexity to that character. Basically got me to empathize with a character that I never expected to.

It’s a good time for getting caught up on stuff. Lots of good action going on in Sakamoto and Elusive Samurai right now. Akane-banashi it still on a good run too.

MMA is finished after 32 chapters… Bummer

Last week, Wayne Kramer… this week Mojo…

The world is just as shitty as it’s ever been but unfortunately I don’t think it’s ending anytime soon. Status quo forever and ever…

Happy birthday! 40 is a milestone. Party down! I will be joining you in the 40 club in just over a month from now

MMA #31

I randomly started watching the first season of Mashle this week out of boredom and I quickly finished the first 12 episodes. A bit surprised how much I’m enjoying it! I’m looking forward to getting caught up in the second season. I am still enjoying Metallic Rouge and especially Frieren. also A Sign of Affection is lovely

Wayne Kramer (MC5 guitarist and co-founder) kicked the bucket today Let me be who I am, and let me kick out the jams I done kicked ‘em out!

Nah it was the other Nick

Elusive Samurai (#142) got a really slick colour cover page today Very excited to see what happens in this fight in the next chapter!!! Sakamoto #152–That was an intense fight between Nagumo and Gaku! .

Happy barfday Zallus

Seasons is definitely my favorite of the two edit: I’m glad somebody finally started the 2024 thread! I honestly have nothing to contribute because all I play (still, 2+ years going strong!) is Diablo 2: Resurrected. Not I like reading everybody else’s write-ups.

Ye, I saw episode 19 dropped on Crunchy on Friday, so I’ve only got a couple episodes to go to get fully caught up. I watched #17 on Friday night. I wanted to keep going but I was getting sleepy. I don’t want to nod off and miss part of this show. I’ll watch more tonight if I have time. It was unfortunate to see Sein go off in a different direction in episode 17, but it feels like they will link up with him again before too long.

I’m now up to episode 16 of Frieren—just two episodes away from being caught up. Sein has been a nice addition to the squad. Still loving this show.

Very quickly got up to episode #10 in Frieren. Still enjoying it a lot! It’s a thing of beauty.

Second episode of A Sign of Affection was more feel-good, comfy stuff Yuki is a truly likeable main character I also got started finally on Frieren last night. Holy smokes, can’t believe I slept on this show all last season. I love the style and aesthetics, very nice work by Madhouse, and I immediately connected with the characters. I look forward to binge watching this to get caught up

I checked out a couple of new shows tonight and I think they’re both keepers. Metallic Rouge has a nice mix of sci-fi and action. Very solid animation and production from Bones. Definitely got my attention. A Sign of Affection is exactly what I hoped it would be. Love the main character already I am really looking forward to see where things go in the next episode.
