    Sad Tower of God isn't coming back. I'll just keep watching Fire Force and Black Clover.

    Haven't watched Black Clover yet because apparently the MC Asta is just screaming all the time lol. Currently watching Bungou Stray Dogs. First season might be a little odd and messy but it kept me hooked. It has a lot of humor and references to japanese literature that I don't really get but the characters all have their quirks and are the main reason why I finished season 1. Second season is where it really gets good because it does a lot of world building that was missing in S1. Animation and fight scenes are top notch. They are pretty gory tho, limbs get cut off, blood is spilled which is a weird contrast to the humor. It's worth a watch nonetheless. This video sums up the randomness of S1 pretty well lol

    Hikaru No Go. I remember buying some random book containing chapters of different mangas when I was younger (probably Shonen Jump since a Naruto chapter was also in it). One of the mangas was 'Hikaru No Go', which is about the japanese board game Go (mixed with supernatural elements). I don't know how they managed to make a manga about a 3000 year old board game so d--- interesting but I loved it. I found out there was also a 75 (!) episode anime. I watched it and I can tell you: It doesn't get boring a bit. Really underrated and greatly executed. Fun fact: It was illustrated by the creator of Death Note. You can watch the whole series on youtube

    Thought it was great, of course. Barely even felt like Love Live outside of like two or three moments across the series, which was super refreshing considering how often Sunshine felt like a clone of the original.

    Idk thought having them be a collection of solo acts rather than a group did a lot for not sidelining any of the characters. Felt like an ensemble cast compared to the previous two groups where half of the girls ended up feeling like background characters.

    I'm watching Banana Fish right now and while the manga is considered a classic from what I've read about it, the anime doesn't get enough love imo. It has an updated setting to make it feel more modern, and it's great.

    They should absolutely make a live-action adaption of it. Maybe someone like the Safdie Bros or Sion Sono could direct it.
