@RR529 Enjoy! The way you described Wicked City reminded of the Cryin Freeman manga I watched back in the day, sans the demons and supernatural elements.

Last haul.

Ghost in the Shell: the New Movie — Haven't seen it yet, but looking forward to it. I do have (& have watched) the Arise OVAs, but it's been awhile so I hope I can keep up with it.

Goku: Midnight Eye — Another 80's cyberpunk OVA series that's too cool for school. Not very high brow, but I love stuff like this.

Princess Mononoke — Pretty great & I get what they were going for, but it sits in a weird spot for me. I think I prefer my Ghibli fare to be more lighthearted & would rather watch something more explicit if I wanted a more «mature» anime film.

Spirited Away — Absolutely gorgeous & imaginative film. I probably last watched it on cable back in the days of SDTV, so it was great revisiting it.

Urusei Yatsura: TV Collection 3 — Almost worked my way through this. I wasn't quite sure what to think of this series going in, but it's really grown on me & feels quite comfort food like. AFAIK they haven't even announced when the last set is going up for PO yet, so I'll probably have to look into another long running series to get into in the meantime (will probably start getting the Ranma sets, as that's what I was planning on doing before getting into these in the first place).

So, I usually avoid «yuri» anime, since it's typically fetish-y garbage aimed at straight men.

Light novel isekai adaptations tend to bore me to tears as well.

All that being said, I'm pleasantly surprised by how decent the yuri isekai anime «I'm In Love With the Villainess» is. Protagonist Rae Taylor is that rarest of things in anime: a happily, unashamedly lesbian woman who fully embraces her feelings for the haughty rich girl villain of the otome game she was resurrected within.

And while we're on the topic of the current season's anime, Goblin Slayer season two has a killer opening. Absolutely love it.

Never new about this looks solid

It's a shame in that you have to say how suprised you are at how decent it is @Ralizah.

… I did find that trailer pretty hilarious though myself.

@HallowMoonshadow Yeah, my friend and I sat through the first four episodes the other day and were pretty much laughing non-stop.

LGBT anime is a mess. So full of physical and emotional abuse meant to sate the elicit cravings of their respective heterosexual audiences.

This is literally the only anime I can think of… full-stop where characters have grounded discussions about consent and sexuality. lol

The show feels like it's on the edge of tipping over into gay panic humor, but the one time it does that, the girl gets called out for homophobic assumptions, which
