This'll cover the last of the spring 2024 shows that aren't continuing later. Featured items are a movie from this past winter season, Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom, and a high school drama that started in 2013, Silver Spoon. Those and some pretty good others, one of which has a review that's been waiting in line for half a year, after the break.

A day late, but I had to work a swim meet yesterday. Still lots of shows from the spring season to cover, and that's mostly what I have today. Featured items are both girl band series that just ended, Girls Band Cry and Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night, and for kicks, I'll throw in a re-review of another band series from some years ago. Plus a couple of YouTube shorts, one of which was really well done, after the break.

In the middle of the spring 2024 shows concluding, so I've got several today. Featured items are a darkly ironic kinda travelogue thingy from 2003, and its remake from 2017, Kino's Journey, and an... I don't know how to classify it, Train to the End of the World, which finished yesterday. Those plus a few more freshly completed series, a pretty good older one, and some more YouTube shorts, after the break.

Man, it's been almost two months since an actual review post? Well, I'll remedy that by cashing in my ace in the hole. Today's featured item is Aria the Animation, my absolute favorite of all the slice of life shows I've seen. It's long enough that I'll make it a solo feature. That plus a movie that just came out, a couple of shows that concluded not long ago, and more YouTube shorts, after the break.

Man, has it actually been a year and a half since I last did one of these? And some things from back then are still on this list D: Well, let's get to it, in the same categories as before.

I started way too many new shows this season. D: 15 of them, plus a few continuing ones. Now my evenings are too full. ;-; Anyway, only one real feature this time, a 2005-7 series, Emma—A Victorian Romance (oddly enough, it's a romance), but also one highly recommended short. Extras are two recently finished winter shows plus a couple of movies that just came out last week.

Spring season starts today, though that doesn't stock my reviews too much yet, since a lot of my favorites didn't end. Features this week are one that did just finish, A Sign of Affection, and a movie from 2021, Pompo: The Cinephile. Those and more, one also recently completed, and YouTube shorts, after the break.

Some winter shows will be ending in the next couple of weeks. It's been a good season, but still waiting to see if the ones I like are concluding or will get additional seasons. But the one and only featured item this week is... Sailor Moon, after the break, since the Crystal reboot just ended.

I don't typically like to have both featured items be movies, since that doesn't provide a lot of wall-clock time of entertainment, but such is my lot this week. Features are Nimona, from last year, and Penguin Highway, from 2018. Some other decent stuff as well, plus some more YouTube short films, after the break.

FiMFic user It Is All Hell asked me to do an interview, and I assume he's going to make a series out of these. In an interesting twist, he asked me to post it on my blog rather than have him post it on his. Assuming he does more interviews, I hope he'll post a compilation of links somewhere so that people who enjoyed reading one by an author they like can find more of them. EDIT:
