You can (and should) watch it through, uhhhhhh, other methods, but this is the world we could have without Harmony Gold. Cute art for the TV shows, though!

I broke up with my partner on Sunday and am all out of whack. We had plans to go see the new Dune but I was feeling too blugh to leave the home so now my man is spreading like 10 chapters of Dungeon Meshi so we can watch it.

My mom (early 60s) has a hard time remembering the names of anime, or sometimes chooses to use her own nicknames for them. I have always enjoyed sharing these and sometimes quizzing people on what the original title might've been.

Here's a nice long list of every name I've recorded, ordered from most opaque to most obvious, followed by the actual name of the series. Feel free to comment how many of these anime you got, and how many nicknames/misrememberings you had to look at before you got it.

I'm watching Frieren right now and it's quite good when it's at its best.

That said, while the intro is catchy it has like 3 acts and is this really fast up-beat song, almost hyper-pop? When paired with the outro (a grand ballad that very frequently begets a jarring shift in tone at the episode's end, and beginning) it feels like the actual show only makes up like two thirds of the runtime.
