Thank you for your service.

Gushing Over Magical Girls.

Medalist is an anime about figure skating and the relationship between the young skater and her coach is wholesome as fuck. Not a parent per se but similar vibes. I particularly like how they both help each other; adults have problems too and kids are smarter than we adults often give them credit for, and the show captures that very well. If you like the dynamic in Spy X Family you’ll probably like it.

Also the skating is beautifully animated and the sports anime structure keeps the plot moving along. One of my favorite shows of all time.

As a bi guy, pour both of those fuckers in the tub and let me bathe in it.

I’m not entirely sure why but I find Simon Pegg VERY attractive in this movie. He’s like the perfect balance of heroic and vulnerable, doing his best in a bad situation.

Oh IST is maybe my favorite podcast, I miss it so. Canonical Star Trek as far as I’m concerned. If you like Lower Decks you’ll like IST. Lt. Greg and Ensign Spot live forever in my heart.

Punk bands too. Jello Biafra, Henry Rollins, and Tom Morello are certainly social justice bards.

Hello, fellow Friend of DeSoto!

I would absolutely watch a toddler Sheev, Dooku, and Maul cartoon. Like Rugrats, but they’re all scheming to kill each other. Anakin is a baby a la Dyl.

Yeah especially with his age in there.

Sigur Ros is a band that sings in a fictional language, I’m pretty sure. Not totally what you’re asking for but certainly in the spirit

Pineapple is good and not even particularly controversial despite how much the haters seem to want to make it. There was a place I used to live near that did a “cheeseburger” pizza with ground hamburger, onions, pickles, and mustard. I fucking loved it but that thing was CONTROVERSIAL

Yotsuba!

Jumping into the deep end, lol. It’s a great watch, I hope you enjoy it. The manga just came out of hiatus and we’re supposed to get a second season at some point.

I admit to liking a lot of ecchi comedy, there’s a lot of good shows under that umbrella. This, 100 Girlfriends, My Dress Up Darling, Panty & Stocking, etc. I’m a romcom addict in general and many of them are rather horny.

Everyone is warning about the NSFW aspect of the show, and they’re not wrong, but it’s actually quite good, imo. Story is good, characters and comedy is great, op and Ed are bangers. It does have very explicit (though censored) lesbian scenes and a lot of nudity though. I recommend it if you like ecchi comedies, though I see why people can’t handle it.

It’s really ramping up now, I just finished the first cour. I loved Gurren Lagann and PSG, Kill la Kill feels like the midpoint between them, perfect mix of silly, exciting, and sincere. Probably won’t take me long to finish, I’ve been blasting through it.

I just cannot watch Yano-kun take so much injury. It feels like it’s too much, lol. It’s not charming, it’s sad and maybe he’s got a disability or something, clearly taking a lot of blows to the head.

Excited to have Spy x Family and Ranma 1/2 back, looking forward to much silly action from them this season.

Of the new shows I’ve seen so far, I enjoyed My Awkward Senpai quite a bit, office romances can be hot or miss but this one’s off to a good start at least.

Inexpressive Kashiwada and Expressive Oota also had a decent first episode, though the episode was like 60% slideshow. Budget seems a bit low.

My Little Sister’s Friend Has It In For Me looks nice and is funny, but the premise seems a little problematic. We’ll see where it goes.

I gotta finish Pretty Derby S3 and catch up on Cinderella Gray too.

Unrelated to the new season, I am halfway through Kill la Kill, what a blast.
