Denji got his groove back

Did you finish up Zom 100 yet??? Frieren is also still on my to-try list. Maybe I’ll catch up on it this week to keep watching it over the winter season

Jeez, 2024 sucks. Sorry to hear that dude. Potentially buying a house is big news though—good luck! We bought our first place last spring. House hunting is kind of fun… but if it turns into a cycle of seeing places, making offers, and getting out-bid… then it starts to become painful. But you will eventually find the right place at the right price. You just have to stick it out and try to keep positive.

I binged a bunch of JJBA Part 6 - Stone Ocean over the holidays. Almost caught up to current. IIRC up to chapter 109 is out on the Jump app. 49 chapters to go to finish it, so that’s basically a year if it’s on a weekly schedule. Stone Ocean was a slow starter for me, similar to Golden Wind, but some of the characters and stands have really grown on me. I am enjoying it.

The finale of JJK wasn’t super duper smooth. Apparently another series has been announced to cover the next arc (The Culling Game). It has been quite hard to follow at times in the manga. I hope they can make it better in the anime. The manga feels like it is heading towards an ending soon-ish.

That’s a bummer. I hope things get better soon for you.

Happy birthday Gambit

What are you guys and gals doing for the holidays? What did you give? What did you get? etc.

I haven’t read all the new stuff for this week yet but I am loving the action in MMA, Elusive Samurai, and Sakamoto! MMA #27 Elusive Samurai #139 Sakamoto #149

Very solid ending to Zom 100.

They’re on Crunchy too. Yay Got something to watch tonight.

Cool lookin’ axe I like the maple top. I got a nice Hario coffee grinder and a bag of dark roast beans, a bottle of vodka ( Grey Goose! ), a bit of clothes, and some chocolate. My mum also sent me some $$$ which will inevitably goes towards buying guitar parts

I still need to try to get a first look at Undead Unluck… Yubisaki to Renren (A Sign of Affection) sounds like it could be a nice feel-good story for this winter. Crunchy had it in their lineup.

Xmas 2023 bump—Merry Christmas everybody! What did Santa bring for you this year?

Dr. Stone wrapped up, a solid finale, and a continuation was announced. Still so much story left to cover. And some great new characters to introduce still too! One episode left of JJK. I won’t mind if the anime ends with the Shibuya Incident, because the next arc is a bit of a mess IMHO… but maybe it would be better animated? Never know.

They spent over $1 billion just this month Anything less than multiple World Series wins should be seen as disappointing for L.A.

Yeah, it’s nice that the opponent isn’t just a punching bag. There is a bit more depth to it. Here are my top 5 most-read titles this year according to Jump: Should be a few more tied with Sakamoto and Akane, the other stuff I follow weekly, but it cuts off at 5 in the email they send out.

Sakamoto is the best Yeah I have pretty high hopes for this fight. I really enjoyed this week’s chapter. Tokiyuki is learning on the fly. Really want to see him apply what he’s picking up from Sadamune to take him out. On top of that, there is Kojiro’s fight, and what Nitta is doing. These kids are tough! Agreed! But I am going to be supremely bummed out if Nao doesn’t win

Happy birthday Rulk! Party down and have fun

I watch JJK on Crunchyroll and there’s a new episode every Thursday, so I’m just watching whatever is on there. Maybe Gogoanime is a week behind..? That’s cool news about Zom 100! Curious to see what happens next.

Yeah man I am hyped for the next bouts in MMA! Really pulling for Nao to win. I am also hyped for what’s next in Akane-banashi. Elusive Samurai set up a new showdown between Tokiyuki and bug-eye. I’m very curious to see how that goes down. The latest Spy x Family was really good too

Nope, I didn’t think for a second that the Jays would land Ohtani. 10 years / $700 million is nuts. Imagine how much the Jays would have had to over-pay on top of that to win the deal. You can’t build a team like that. Unless you’re the Dodgers Seattle definitely appears to be clearing the decks to try to sign a big free agent. Maybe Snell or Bellinger? Yamamoto? Or are they losing money in their TV deal like how San Diego got messed around by Bally / Diamond Sports? That would also cause a team to cut payroll.
