Spring 2024 Anime Season Roundup
This was an excellent season! Lots of great slice of life between Jellyfish, Girls Band Cry, Yuru Camp, and Euphonium. We got some awesome action and cool worlds from Train to the End, Kaiju no.8 and Dungeon Meshi. All of these shows had great comedy but Konosuba mostly knocked it out of the park. I'm looking forward to next season, though not as many for me as other seasons.

I Watched Yu Yu Hakusho for the First Time - Spirit Detective Saga
I recently watched the Spirit Detective Saga of Yu Yu Hakusho, which is the first 25 episodes. I’ll be giving my thoughts on it, including spoilers. I am a fan of this show, I liked it more than I expected to. I think this show has done well so far at making me interested in what surrounds the pretty cool fights. Though it does fall into some issues of aging, common shounen tropes and worldbuilding that I am not a huge fan of. But they do not eclipse its many strengths.
