I'm only giving S5 a chance because of the Sirens. If a lesson was learned, good. But if they continu with S4's nonsense, I'm done.

Apparently your Eagles just got WR Jahan Dotson from the Commanders? Um...what? Isn't that guy good? And from a division rival??

Harley Quinn S1 and S2 are amongst the best things in Western animation ever.
Harley Quinn S3 was...good but began to give me concern.
Harley Quinn S4 was one of the worst things I have ever watched. I just forced myself to watch the core bits and somehow, it kept getting worse.

Yeah, SSI looks trash.

Aiyuk...I got no idea. Sure, the 49ers should have made the offer before the draft but...he is getting beyond weird. Reddick's holdout is also a weird one since he is effectively already losing what he thinks he gains. Lot of WRs around the league holding out.

Welp, you must be loving Jerry Jones ticking off Ceedee Lamb on top of Dak Prescott.

Guessing that the Villainess Who Will Make History series is on your list in October?

The two you mentioned. I can get what people see in them but they just don't do anything for me.

Gave the things on my list a try, cut almost all of them. A Sign of Affection, Bartender S2, Jellyfish, the two romcoms from this season, Roze of the Recapture - just nothing. Also not certain why they're redoing Spice and Wolf from the beginning aside from the large amount of merch being pumped out of late.

Bye Bye Earth has been a keeper for me, I'll give Kimi ni Todoke S3 a look once it starts and when the mood is right, I'll try marathoning The Apothecary Diaries. Kanon's suggestion of Dark Gathering seems to have struck the right chord for me so also going to look into that more.

Managed to clear Extreme mode of Anima Swarm this weekend on all 9 characters so that one is done and dusted. Given it's a cold week and I have played Anima Swarm a lot of late, think I'll get a catchup of anime going.

Tagovailoa and Love got some pretty big contracts in the NFL...Apparently Michikov has headed to the US for the Flyers.

Anything you stuck with for July?

Have had to pivot a bit for a couple of things. Suddenly just about every Superbowl is on Youtube. I'd be crazy to not watching them so I'm watching a few a week to bridge the gap to September. On the game side, League of Legends released a 1 month PvE mode called Anima Swarm, in the style of Vampire Survivors and 20 Minutes Till Dawn. Have been on that since its launch 5 days ago and unlocked Extreme mode (aka difficulty 3, the highest). Hoping to grind out the scaling power unlocked by reaching Extreme mode by the weekend then clear out Extreme mode with a friend after he gets back from doing engineering work for country towns.

Winter has sucked. A couple of weeks ago, Adelaide had its coldest temperature since 1908. It's been a bit better of late but between costs of living and the weather, I'm pretty much staying home until spring aside from a beachwalk on a weekend where the weather shows just a bit of not being miserable.

And yeah...good luck in November...

Okay, I finished getting through both tonight.

The Summer You Were There and Throw Away The Suit Together.

Those are the two I read. The first one would be in my top 15 manga of all time. The second one would probably make my top 50.

Full scanlations of both are available. Full published translations will be completed in 2025.
