Dandadan is fantastic stuff. Really digging Ouran High School Host Club though Episode 8 doesn't exist*
- *This episode felt very out of place compared to the previous ones and I can totally see why fans of the show just ignore it/pretend it doesn't exist. Very misogynistic in its messaging when Haruhi tries to defend a group of girls against a pair of pervert boys (with the Host Club characters all blaming her for not remembering she's a girl/acting girlish enough & demanding an apology??) with a very weird quasi-sexual assault? scene between Kyouya and Haruhi that feels way out of left field. Tamaki acting so insulted/angry at Haruhi feels OOC for him too.
Started up the 2024 version of Ranma 1/2 on Netflix (done by MAPPA), greatly enjoying that one too. Fun, comedic stuff. I'd heard of the original run but never got around to it. Big fan of all the characters and the contrast between Ranma/Akane and the usage of the other sisters/fathers.
Mecha-Ude is solid. It's a decent watch and I can see the appeal around the concept. I think CWM may be more into this one than I am but I'm also enjoying Dandadan and Ranma 1/2 more so that kind of knocks this down a little through no fault of its own.

I didn't notice anything but maybe I'm numb.
