I purchsed a box set for the first 21 volumes of Bleach for just over £80. Considering the standard retail price of the volumes for £9 a pop or the box set for £165… Getting it for over half the price is quite a steal I'd say.

Especially when it seems like buying the anime will be… An extremely costly endeavour...

Once my salary comes, I intend to buy the FMA manga… yes xo

Mostly summer of sequels for me right now. The one new series I am watching is Wistoria which I sorta don't recommend, but it has really nice production values, so I am watching it mostly for that purpose.

Otherwise, for me its the new season of MHA — which is… fine? I guess. I feel like watching this in a binge style fashion when the season is over (assuming you can avoid spoilers) would be more satisfying than watching it weekly. I'm also just a bit disconnected from MHA in general to be honest? It kinda reminds me of late stage Bleach, where the core cast are now so impossibly powerful the writing just has nowhere left to go. When everyone is immortal and can defy the rules of reality then its just completely dull, cause there is no tension, danger, or stakes or anything.

I hadn't realised the second part to Sengoku Youko had even started to be honest, I don't see anyone talking about this. However, Satoshi Mizukami is one of my favourite mangaka, and after Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer was absolutely butchered in its adaptation, part 1 of Sengoku Youko was almost impossible to objectively process, as the bar had been set impossibly low. Every time I saw a character actually move in camera, like actual real frames of animation in SY, it was like I was a person born blind seeing colour for the first time. I wouldn't say avoid this one, but I'd probably suggest just reading the manga instead as this is definitely more about the characters, world, story etc than it is in having 50 episode long fight scenes, but so far the anime isn't a bad way to experience this, unlike Biscuit Hammer, which is
