    I’m currently on season 3 of Silicon Valley, and the first season of Initial D.

    I’m loving Silicon Valley but boy Richard sure is incompetent sometimes huh? It’s so frustrating sometimes but man does Mike Judge know how to satirize that entire industry and culture.

    Initial D is also really good. A friend got me to watch it. I’m not even a car guy but it’s making me want to play driving games.

    Working my way through For All Mankind again. What a superb piece of TV that is. Magnificent. Also Slow Horses and lay night we started Bad Monkey. That’s pretty good as well.

    Got to give Apple credit, they do make some good stuff. The quality and attention to detail is superb, even if the show is naff. I was very excited to hear they were making Foundation, and the quality was outstanding. Never finished the first series, it was like watching paint dry. Likewise Silo. Dark Matter? I didn’t even make it to the end of the first episode.

      I quite liked Foundation although possibly because it’s the first SciFi I remember reading so there is some nostalgia at play. They made some interesting decisions in the adaptation but the techno space opera does look nice. Lee Pace’s emperor is the most interesting character of the show even if he is chewing the scenery a bit.

    Anime! The winter summer season just ended, and alongside it a few series that I was following:

    • Nier: Automata 1.1 - surprisingly good for something based on a game.
    • QA in Another World - it feels unfinished because it is. The manga goes further. I enjoyed the overall cheekiness, specially in comparison with Log Horizon (another good game isekai, but a bit too serious).
    • Dungeon no Naka no Hito - I picked this series on a whim. It’s… okay I guess?
    • TenSura s3 - hey, s4 was already announced! It was good, but s1 was better.
    • Failure Frame skill - another series that feels unfinished because the manga goes on. I hope that it gets a sequel.
    • No Longer Allowed in Another World - ditto. Except that this one NEEDS more Calmotin pills to get a sequel.
    • Shinmai Ossan Boukensha - eh. It was crap but I still watched it.
    • Ookami to Koushinryou: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf - it’s a remake/update of a great series, so I already knew the story. It was still 100% worth watching it.

    I also picked Mayonaka Punch to binge watch. I skipped this series because “meh, it talks about youtubers”, but I was bored and I wanted to watch something and the above ended and… wait, it’s actually fun? Main character is a piece of shit, but she’s a rather entertaining one!

    I started watching A Discovery of Witches on Netflix - it’s pretty good.

    I also immediately started binging Gyeonsong Creature 2 on Netflix because I really loved the first season. I am loving this one too even though they surprised me with the era.

    If anyone is interested in Cdrama, I just wrapped up the “Princess Royal” series. I really liked that one because the episodes were never boring due to pacing or lame side stories.
