Summer 2023 – something of a bust

Apologies for no anticipation post…  June got away from me, and as the annual Medieval Faire now happens late in the month the last two weeks were crazy busy.  And no First Impression post either, because pretty much nothing caught my eye this season and I haven’t seen anything yet.  (I do need to fix that soon… before I get too behind.)

But I did want to drop a “really, I’m alive!” post and give my regular commenters a chance to weigh in on the season.

What have I accomplished anime wise the last couple of weeks?

Sabegebu! (Survival Game Club)

A meme based on  this scene popped up in r/whatanime…  And re watching the scene lead to rewatching the series.

Yep.  It’s still one of the most batshit insane anime I’ve ever watched, and it’s still funny as heck.

Ippon Again!

For whatever reason the ED from Ippon Again! was running through my head…  So, forgetting that it uses the OP as the ED, I decided to rewatch the first episode – and ended up watching the second so I could hear the ED.  And now, we’re on the final arc.  Yes, we, this time my wife was watching and she says now she realizes why I was so high on the series when it aired.

It’s still a damned good show…  and it’s absolutely criminal how it flew under the radar when it was airing.  Even more criminal that it hasn’t received a 2nd season.

Maybe that’s my new niche?  Occasional short blurbs on whatever crosses my mind, screen, or keyboard?

Anyhow, over to you!  Drop a comment on the season, the weather, whatever else you want to chat about.  As usual, the comments are Open Mic night.

Looking back – Summer 2014

Just for fun, each season I’m going to look back four years to see what I was watching back then and talk about what I thought of it then and now.  Since its Summer 2018, that means it’s time to look at Summer 2014 and cringe (or not) at what I watching back in my larval days.
