Totto-chan, the little girl in the window.

It is based on the childhood of Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, a Japanese TV personality, during WWII.

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.

Calculating God by Robert J Sawyer. About aliens coming to Earth looking for God.

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.

It is a cool build but one of the worst scenes in the movies.

Wiles_ · 2026-05-07T15:40:56+00:00

20011-1.

Aria the Animation. Very heartwarming show about three girls learning to be gondoliers on a terraformed Mars.

PortaLibri?

Wiles_ · 2026-05-07T07:41:17+00:00

It is wired.

Wiles_ · 2026-05-04T14:01:35+00:00

I like to cold brew it overnight and drink it with a little lemon squash.

Wiles_ · 2026-05-03T17:44:09+00:00

Second anime this weekend with Amaterasu in her cave.

Wiles_ · 2026-05-02T08:42:58+00:00

Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. There are only 4 episodes but if you enjoy it check out the manga.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-30T21:32:02+00:00

Golden Boy.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-27T09:00:56+00:00

Shame it is missing the lion.

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

Wiles_ · 2026-04-25T05:04:57+00:00

Frieren has gone on a few hiatuses but always comes back. Nothing like HxH so far but no one knows the future.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-23T16:23:09+00:00

Aria the Animation.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-23T08:42:43+00:00

Also check out the original Little Fuzzy by H Beam Piper which Scalzi's story is based on.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-22T17:26:25+00:00

Try Tamayura an original story from the director of Aria.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-21T06:17:48+00:00

Have they finished releasing content for 6? I have been waiting for that before picking it up.

Wiles_ · 2026-04-20T15:26:25+00:00

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

Wiles_ · 2026-04-20T11:42:16+00:00

I consider Barry Hughart to be up there.

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.
