I've been watching Baki, and its just so stupid and nonsensical, the entire plot simply doesn't make sense. But that makes it a fun unique series, it certainly has more character then generic isekai anime 500.

Dungeon Meshi episode 12 was amazingly entertaining.

I should really get back into anime and watch the shows from the 2000s that I still haven't seen. Styles and tastes seem to have changed enough that shows after the first few years of the '10s don't really do anything for me; they just don't scratch the same itch. I think Houseki no Kuni may have been the most recent show I've seen that I can honestly say was worth my time.

I never watched Baki, but I do like these youtube videos by MARIMOMO MORIMO that pay homage to Baki:
 My Dad Is My Hero! (Animation)

I have read manga by Paru Itagaki, the daughter of the author of Baki. It was such a fun journey to read Beastars.
Hopefully I get around to reading more of her work. I think I'm in the middle of reading unofficial English translations of Beast Complex volume 2, probably the 1st volume of Sanda, and somewhere in the middle of Bota Bota. I sometimes stop reading a series for a year or more before working my way back through them.

A 2000s anime I really liked was Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor. I haven't heard anything about a season 3 for Kaiji, so it looks like I have read the manga to find what happens next in the story.

I was very happy to see Gon punch Hisoka. I personally think it was such a great way to end the episode.

This was such a wonderful way to end season 2. This whole show as been an amazing watch. Ichikawa & Yamada forever.
The last five minutes of the episode

I finished catching up on the latest dubbed episodes of Delicious in Dungeon.

The first dozenish episodes were about 95% cooking, with very little in the way of plot or worldbuilding. Then suddenly the show went all FMA, with forbidden alchemy being used to transmute cute girls into horrific monsters and minor characters popping left and right like so many blood-balloons.

I feel like this transition will be off-putting to a lot of viewers. People who just want a peaceful, simple cooking show will be upset when when everything gets bloody, while people looking for violence will get bored and give up long before it happens. A healthy balance really should have been struck much earlier in the season.
