For the past 4 years Gunk no Baltzar and Attack on Titan were the only manga I was keeping up with and really excited for. Now that AoT is over, it's pretty much just Baltzar. I'd be super hyped if it got an anime adaptation... but given the state of the anime industry, I doubt that the anime would do the manga justice. Every season of attack on titan after season 1 didn't do the manga justice either.
Gunka no Baltzar is a military manga set during an alternate fantasy late 1800s Europe, mainly during the unification of fantasy German states by NOT-Bismarck.

There is always the eternal one, Yotsuba. Really highly rated, from the creator of another really big series in Azumanga Daioh, been running since 2003, and not even an OVA. The creator has said from the start that he doesn't want to do an anime since he doesn't think the series would work animated.
Spider Isekai - episode 18
At this point, the human plot is so awful I'm just completely skipping it.
It's nice that the MC is helping people, but word is going to spread along roads to other towns and she's going to be found out real quick. She needs to learn to create a familiar that looks like herself and leave the familiar behind to perform the healing while she gets out of dodge. Within a few days, big mom is going to show up and one shot the familiar. Maybe create a few familiars so that after big mom kills one and leaves, another familiar can come out of hiding and continue performing the healing.
Well, damn
Just found out that Miura, the author of Berserk, died a couple weeks ago.

As for the Berserk series itself, yeah the art was good but I tuned out after the Golden Age arc. Golden Age at least had hope. Then all of the likeable characters die, and you're just following Guts (who has become an unlikeable asshole) wandering around this hopeless world and there isn't really any plot advancement happening. 300 chapters and they never took out any of the godhand. 300 chapters and 0 out of the 5 big bads killed. Also, the chapter releases became extremely spoardic during the last decade, so I completely forgot about it for a long while.

RIP Kureno. Hope that this isn't a fakeout death. Kureno choose to hang around these crazy people, and reaped the consequences of his poor choice. Again, good on Ayame and Hattori for cutting these awful women out of their life.
Lol at Shigure pulling a Gendo Akari and having apparently banged a mother AND her daughter. Um... seriously, how doesn't anyone have any STDs? Shigure banged Ren, and banged Akito, who banged Kureno, and they've all apparently banged multiple times. Pretty easy transmission. Anyway, Shigure is still stupid. He only lucked out that he wasn't the one who was shanked.
Akari was a pretty pathetic man, allowing himself to fall for the golddigger, and then giving into her demand that Akito has to be raised as a man. And then he made zero plans for Akito to be raised by a father figure or appointing someone else as the clan head, so he basically screwed over his clan by putting a girl in charge with no father figure to look up to, only an emotionally unstable witch to raise her. Ofcourse Akito was raised to be crazy, not that excuses Akito's actions.

I don't know if anyone's told you this, but STDs don't form just by having sex with multiple people. If none of them have STDs, of course they're not going to get STDs...
Not only that, but literally it would involve someone going outside of their circle to get one.

Thunderbolt Fantasy - S3E7
I quite like the depiction of the soldier's morale here as factoring into whether or not they would obey the order. Too often in fiction are soldiers depicted as mindless drones who will unquestioningly obey any order. Here, the soldiers are being ordered to work with an enemy that has been slaughtering their countrymen for the past several years, and to work with a witch. Ofcourse they're going "eh... no we're not doing this", with only Lin Setsu's intervention preventing them from completely deserting or mutinying.
Also, good on Wan for ordering his men to NOT engage the heroes. Too often in fiction are bad guys stupid, throwing wave after wave of men at a hero who has an impressive track record. The hero has survived all this shit; do you really think YOU are going to be the one to kill him now?
86 - episode 7
I started this last night. This is probably one of the best looking shows by A1-Pictures, though the 3D CGI is still lamentable. I do quite like the depiction of an evil republic. Too often, modern fiction glorifies democracy, white washing how corrupt it actually is, with the institution mainly serving to hide who the real decision makers are. The only other piece of Japanese fiction I've seen where the republic weren't the good guys was LoGH.
The show has a lot of the band die, but so far almost all of them have been fodders who had pretty much zero screentime. Only Dariya had any decent amount of screentime. I think it's obvious that the 5 characters on the poster are going to be safe for most of the show (plus they're the only members of the band with any screentime).
It seems pretty obvious that the show is going to end with the former territory of Galdia being given to the surviving 86/minority population of the republic, establishing their own country. Pretty much all of their land will be an urban wasteland (good luck trying to get investment to rebuild it!), but at least it will probably be better than living in the republic. The only way I can see them staying in the republic is if there is a military coup that reforms the republic, but so far it doesn't seem like there are a lot of dissatisfied officers in the republic, let alone sympathizers among the populace.
I am rather annoyed by the show's occasional delve into oscar bait crying anime territory, where you have overdramatic scenes of the girl crying and running and being emo with melodramatic music playing, but it's nowhere near as bad as Violet Evergarden and its ilk.

Just looked it up on MAL. Aw, looks like 86 is only going to be 11 episodes? I thought this was going to be like 24 or something. Not sure where I got that idea from.
Fruits Basket - S3 E8
*snore* Another darn filler episode! *snore*
Only thing that happened was a psycho with a knife showing up in the last 10 seconds of the episode.
You can completely skip this episode and you won't miss anything. This episode was the epitome of filler.
Thunderbolt Fantasy - S3 E9
I can't tell if Lin Setsua was really brainwashed by S7B, or if he's immune and he's just faking being brainwashed. Alternatively, Lin could have used his illusion magic to swap places with Ken. Since Ken is married and only has eyes for his wife, he could be immune to be 7BD's enchantments.
I wonder if the mountain wizard in the past is going to forge a weapon for Shang to use in the present, or if he's just going to give Shang advice before sending him back to the present.
Xing Hai looking sexy at the end there.

Thunderbolt Fantasy - S3 E10
Damn it, not another one of those "we can't change the past! We must accept loss even if we have the opportunity to change it!" speeches. First with Bleach, and then with Trails, and now Thunderbolt too? Seriously Lang, there's nothing stopping you from saving Tian and then telling Shang "btw, there is a giant demon god in the west, please go there and stop it".
Looks like we'll be eventually visit the alien wizard's homeland and meet him again.
With only 3 episodes left - barely 60 minutes of screen time - I'm really worried that not all of the subplots will be wrapped up by the end. We still have:
Spoiler:
86 - episode 9
First 3 minutes were intense, the rest was bad bait melodrama. I love the war stuff but the melodrama is awful.
Spider Isekai - episode 21
This entire episode was boring human stuff and teacher melodrama. Skimmed most of it. Only thing that happened was that she told them about the existence of the admins.
The 3D CGI armies are terrible. You know it's bad when the 2006 Utawarerumono anime's 3D CGI armies look better than this.
