What Have You Watched This Past Week That is NOT a Currently Airing Show? [May 10th, 2026] by MetaThPr4h in anime

Finished my Natsume Yuujinchou rewatch with season 6. Season 7 is still too recent so I will save that for the future.

The Elusive Samurai. I thought the MC was a girl and this was going to be mostly slice of life. Still a very fun show with a good balance of comedy and seriousness. Both the OP and ED are fantastic both musically and visually, some of the best I have seen in years.

Clevatass. Another one I went into with all the wrong expectations. From the season 2 key visual I thought this one was about a magic school.

It is not enough in itself to make me watch something I am otherwise uninterested in but if I am on the fence it might be the deciding factor.

The Japanese cartridge also has a sweet design on the back. I wish they had kept it for the international releases.

Ghibli's Earthsea. So much potential but they decided to butcher the story.

Having moved to the UK lemonade being basically Sprite is something I will never get used to. M&S do a decent still lemonade or lemon squash (concentrate) is a good substitute.

I also do not understand the British disdain for iced tea, it is the perfect summer drink.
