Currently watching Serial Experiments Lain. I watched the 13 episodes around 2006/07, as I left my parents' house and got my first personal computer to study CS at university. It's 2024 and what the fuck is going please...

I've finally gotten around to watching Frieren. Overall, really enjoying it, though it isn't exactly what I expected from the first episode.

I went in blind as the comments I saw were so positive. The first episode seemed very serious, and I expected more of a Violet Evergarden story. I'm now on Ep 23, and I'd describe it as a mix of Violet Evergarden and Helck, which I'm feeling good about, as I liked both of those, but VE was too sad and Helck was too silly, so Frieren has been hitting the sweet spot.

Also been watching Suicide Squad Isekai. Not exactly a fan, but I thought the movies were fine, so I'm giving this a shot. I feel it's about the same quality.

Slowly catching up on Reincarnated as a Slime as well. I'm caught up on the manga, so not really I'm a hurry on this one. I'm a but less interested in it than I initially was, but the characters are still all likeable, so I stick with it.
