Well Toradora has a interesting ending. Those last two episodes were a rollercoaster.
Decided to watch Princess Jellyfish next, which after the first 3 episodes has been interesting in a different way. I'll probably finish it next weekend.

I could've sworn Toradora's ending went further, but was mistaken. Still quite enjoyable though.

Actually apon looking at this List of Josei anime, I realize I have seen more then I think and maybe I should delve back into some things on this list:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/genre/43/Josei

Also just noticed theres a lot of gay stuff, this one sounds bizarre enough to be interesting:
Loveless
In the world of Loveless, each person is born with cat ears and a tail, which disappear only if that person engages in a sexual intercourse. Because of this, they have come to symbolize virginity and innocence. Additionally, fighting is only done by "fighting pairs" or couples, where one is known as the Sacrifice and the other as the Fighter. The first receives the damage while the latter attacks.

There's just a general lack of 18+ Anime in general, I assume that this issue is resolved by just reading Light Novels but I prefer to read physical copies of things.

Speaking of a samurai manga, I glanced some cowboy manga a while ago (real cowboy stuff, not space cowboy stuff). I had been wondering that since you have Shonen with ninjas and pirates, why don't we have much cowboy shit? Apparently the whole guns thing kinda kills conventional shonen anime/manga battles (which is why we don't see guns actually used in battle all that much in One Piece)

I recently started reading Lies of Sheriff Evans. There's some action, but it's mainly a comedy. The main character is a sheriff, respected, skilled and revered. But he's also completely inexperienced with women, and became a sheriff purely because he thought it would make him popular with women. Through circumstances or his own poor judgment, he always seems to strike out with any lady he comes across.

total war games are fantastic

three kingdoms is my favorite realistic (ish) one, but shogun 2 is next on that list. only real complaint with shogun 2 is realm divide completely making diplomacy literally useless. i get there has to be a necessary threat later on, but i especially like alliance building in total war games. realm divide punishes you for even having vassals

Yea, the diplomacy was pretty fun in the first half of a campaign because it was very necessary. I liked how uneasy it felt having so much border that can't be militarily defended feasibly early in the game.

In my current campaign playing an expansion, rise of the samurai, I triggered realm divide, loaded the turn before, and spent like 25 turns pumping my economy. I really didn't like the constant financial issues from my first campaign when fielding units during realm divide, so this felt so much better. The expansion, it's pretty cool because it's practically the same game, but feels very fresh to play because of how almost every game mechanic was tweaked.

Realized I had missed episode 1 of a few things. Tried out the misfit of demon academy which is exactly the kind of anime that title makes it sound like. OP demon guy being OP and getting all the bitches. Probably dropped for me. Honestly though he is so overpowered that I don't know where they can really go from here. Maybe it'll be more of a comedy. Might watch one more episode just to find out.

I don't really think it has to. There's been gun centric shonen style fights before like black cat. and black lagoon. Granted black lagoon isn't really shonen but the fights easily could be. It's not like sword strikes are somehow less lethal than gunshots. Oh yeah, outlaw star is shonen and trigun is sorta shonen. Japan is just less into guns than us.

Overlooking that anime & manga treats sword injuries as being less lethal, a sword fight involves a lot of clashing blades and dodging attacks. You kinda don't have that dynamic with guns.

Gun fights involve a lot of dodging attacks (at least in anime). I've even seen em clash guns directly. Black lagoon is a pretty great example of all the stuff you can do with guns. Gunslinger girl also had some brief but amazing gunplay with triella.

Theres not a lot of normal cowboy anime but theres really not a lot of normal samurai anime either. Most of it has super powers or demons or aliens or some shit. Anime just tends to stray away from realism which is frustrating but I don't think cowboy specific. They also probably want a way for the main character to be japanese so space cowboy just makes that easier.

i was never actually good at a total war game until very recently with warhammer 2 and three kingdoms, despite playing the everloving shit out of rome 1 and shogun 2 as a kid, so i can understand

saying i'm good at them now is probably even an overstatement

but man they're neat

From what little I watched on youtube in 3 kingdoms trebuchets and lu bu are OP as hell on the highest difficulty.

It also looked to have the same difficulty curve problem civ has where the point where the game is decided is WAY before you can actually take the last bit of territory so theres a lot of tedium in actually winning after you snowball. Not sure what strategy game doesn't have that issue but it's a bit unfortunate. I keep hoping 3 kingdoms goes on a huge sale but its only ever like 25% off at most.

once you near the endgame, the entire map basically consolidates around 3 powers with the other two being roughly as strong as you, so it's better than most total war games in that regard... but depending on how capitals are located it might either be really easy or a really long slog. overall three kingdoms has the least annoying endgame because everything falls into place kind of easily once you're the only kingdom left, and vassals are actually loyal and useful (hell there's two lords that basically can only control a handful of territories themselves but have massively increased vassal limits)

And another doctor has officially given up because my case is too unusual. I burned my bridges at the hospital by leaving after they fucked up like 4 times in a few hours and almost killed me and had no idea what to do. Although I guess what does it matter if they don't have any idea what to do. Expert doing it for like 50 years had never even heard of a reaction like mine. Sigh. Nobody even knows who to send me to anymore. At this point they are just telling me to do shit I've already done that hasn't worked and then why I say that literally throwing their hands up saying they don't know. It's absurd. I'm going to die a preventable death because no doctor is competent. Tempted to just cut my losses and see how many of em I can take down with me but that wouldn't be fair to my mother.

Hyouka is a great. It's a mystery series about finding plausible solutions to everyday things that happen. Something like trying piece together why a student was called up to the principles office or why people keep checking out the same big ass book and returning it an hour or so later or how a door got locked without the main key. You end up thinking more about the small things in your own life afterwards. It's got the same energy as when you hear a weird noise late at night and you try to piece together what could have made it.

The characters are also pretty solid in terms of chemistry.

Picked up a Roku Express Plus -- it can take a standard A / V cable, not only HDMI -- and hooked it up to the tube TV I normally use for PS2 and the like. (The local Goodwill and Salvation Army no longer take tube TVs, and that means the ones I still have are officially antiques, depressing as that sounds.) Got the idea after my (cheap) tablet decided that it prefers to reboot over and over instead of running anything. This, plus a pair of headphones, means that I should be able to catch up on several of my shows without having to share the big TV, and that means I will be able to watch more anime and put a stop to this long dearth of watching anything.
