So it seems Usagi will once grace us with her magical girl adventures.

"To celebrate the birthday of Sailor Moon’s main protagonist, Usagi Tsukino, new colored manga art has been released by the series creator, hinting at the publication of the next two volumes in the Japanese 'all-color' digital manga release."-CBR

Today I finished watching Patlabor and it was a very satisfying series to say the least, even though the final episode felt more like a normal instance than having closure after all the aventures and misadventures the team went through. I do believe the episode before the last would had been better left as THE last episode since it closed so nicely in comparison, but I digress.

But for now...

Mission accomplished.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Name: Val

Age: 47

I mostly post about: Being Gen-X, Canadian, ramblings of day to day life, my mental health, sometimes the state of the world (though I try to keep that to a minimum), what I'm currently reading, Nelson shenanigans (my cat)

My hobbies are: I knit and crochet; writing, watching movies/television (mostly drama and British telly), reading, 'cozy' colouring with alcohol markers, music (love to listen to new things)

My fandoms are: I used to be very into fandoms 10 or so years ago, but not so much anymore. It can be exhausting.

I'm looking to meet people who: above all, are kind. 20+ of age, and have some interests in common. It would be ideal if you like to comment on entries.

My posting schedule tends to be: aiming for daily, but likely a few times a week. I'm journaling again at the suggestion of my therapist.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: the usual: racism, anti-LGBTQIA+. I used to be a big Harry Potter fan, but no longer and I generally stay away from those who still embrace the fandom, JKR, and the books/movies.

Before adding me, you should know: I'm a very kind and sensitive person and try to be thoughtful and respectful when commenting on others entries, so I hope to receive the same in return. Also, I have an odd sense of humour and I use "LOL" and "<3" a lot.

Came accross this cropped screenshot someone mentioned was from Patlabor on which two very familiar looking girls are passing by. Not sure of this was a dedicated cameo or just coincidence, but am trying to see what episode and sweies from Patlabor its from.

Its still pretty neat.

EDIT: Thanks to a reply below, I got told its most likely from episode 2 of the Patlabor OVA.

Name: Blythe
Age: 37

I mostly post about:
Life on the Cornish coast, daily swims in the sea, studio days at the pottery wheel, what’s blooming in the garden, what I’m reading (mostly mid-century women writers), the small rituals that keep me steady, and occasional thoughts on slow living and soft rebellion.

My hobbies are:
Ceramics, sea swimming, baking things that go with tea, reading literary fiction (especially anything with layered domestic dynamics and quiet emotional collapse), pressing flowers into notebooks, and making seasonal playlists.

I'm looking to meet people who:
Write or read with heart, find beauty in the everyday, value kindness, know the pleasure of a well-brewed pot of tea, or also spend entire evenings choosing which notebook to start. Anyone who understands that joy and sadness often walk hand in hand.

My posting schedule tends to be:
Softly inconsistent— I'm aiming for 2-3x week, sometimes once a week, sometimes three times in a day if I’m feeling chatty or emotionally unspooled. Usually seasonal—more reflective in winter, more playful in summer.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are:
Cruelty, racism, snobbery, homophobia, transphobia, or taking yourself far too seriously. I’m not here for edge for edge’s sake.

Before adding me, you should know:
I write a little like I talk—long, meandering, full of parentheses and feelings. I will absolutely comment on your post about moss or jam or the book you half-finished three years ago. I’m not perfect, but I’m trying to be soft on purpose.

(Crossposted from my journal.)

Apocalypse Hotel was great. Just great. Go watch it. It's definitely on my Hugo ballot next year.

Kowloon Generic Romance ended very well, even if the finale didn't quite have time to spell out every last detail of what was going on. Presumably the manga, which is ending soon, will be able to explain better. Recommended with some disclaimers: there are some very male-gaze camera angles at first but they stop after episode 2, and there is someone who initially appears to be a depressingly stereotypical queer villain but ultimately becomes three-dimensional and far more sympathetic.

Zatsu Tabi continued to be exactly what it appeared to be, a low-key story about travel and introduction to some of Japan's lesser-known tourist attractions.

Sword of the Demon Hunter is continuing into summer, but I have to say this: The choice to fridge someone in the first episode wound up feeling more and more out of place as the story went on. The subsequent story isn't grimdark at all; eventually it's about a guy hanging out in a soba shop with his friends and taking on jobs with an emphasis on how his work heals the community. Even the demons are mostly sympathetic at this point. So I'm not sure why the author chose to do that, other than he couldn't think of another way to get the protagonist out of his comortable village life and out into the world.

For next season, the shows I'm looking at fall into three categories:

Shows I am truly interested in checking out: Bullet/Bullet, Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show, The Earthbound Mole, Onmyo Kaiten Re: Birth Verse
Show I would be checking out if it weren't on Netflix: The Summer Hikaru Died
Shows I should be excited about on paper but am not really: Cute High Earth Defense Club Haikara!, Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun season 2 part 2, Ruri Rocks

What a lucky guy

Finished Episode 2 of the Dirty Pair series and will continue it as much as I get the time to do do so.

Speaking of Anime watching, am also resuming All Purpose Cultural Catgirl Nuku Nuku (say that ten times fast,) which I haven't got to finish it ever since I owned a VHS tape with a couple episodes long ago. That's something I need to rectify.

Also trying to finish Patlabor the Mobile Police to move on to other series like Dr. Stone and the last season of My Hero Academia. There are other series I'm eyeing but for now, I'm trying to finish what I had watched before in order to move forward.

Up till now I've only watched the OAVs and the reboot Dirty Pair Flash which didn't attract me as much as the old timy whimy series. I never even knew a series existed until I stumbled into them on youtube. I gotta say there's a lot of what you can learn from here which potentially connects to said OAVs, and the 80s scifi feel of its phenomenal.

Dirty Pair is a gallant guilty pleasure of mine.

Finished Grimoire of Zero which stars a very cute little witch in it. It was an enjoyable 12 episode watch.

Trying to finish Season 7 of My Hero Academia which I just started. I see there's the spinoff "Vigilantes" after it. Might try it out.

Another series I started watching after reading a Manga volume of it is Magical Girl Spec Ops Asuka, which is just sheer fanservice with skimpy outfits and a magnitude of bloodiness.

How can Anime girls with such humongous bust size able to be that acrobatic? 🤔

Also trying to finish any other series I started years go in hopes to fill up my Lists I got online. If I can scratch that off my bucket list then at least I've accomplished something in my life.

By the way, had also watched an Anime OAV called Elf 17 which is floating around on youtube. I recommend it.

Patlabor is still one of my top favorites comfort Anime that I have enjoyed
