Anime Review: "Attack on Titan" the final, no this time we promise, almost, ok, next to last part

-

This was a great adaptation of the source material. No complaints. Very faithful. 

The only problem I've got comes down to figuring out which season of Attack on Titan this is, but sadly, it's gotten fairly complicated, transcending the very nature of seasonal anime. So I'll break it down into parts.

I had to open up all the MAL tabs for each of the different AoT entries to see which "Part" this actually is, given how complicated it is, but I'll omit any side-story entries for sake of my own personal sanity.

Shingeki no Kyojin - Season 1 would of course be part 1, but with it being seperated into 2 cours, would we also count this as part 1 and 2?? I'm going to say that s1 was actually p.1 & p.2 because of the two-cour nature.

Hm...

Season 2 was just a single cour, so no confusion there. Let's call this p.3.

Season 3, was actually 22 episodes long, and broken up into two parts as well, despite MAL listing it with only 12 episodes. So let's call that p.4 & p.5

Now, onto "The Final Season" (which of course we know isn't actually the final season at all). At this point MAPPA took over, so I suppose it's understandable that there'd be differences in how things get numbered.

The final season, which is actually "The Final Season part 1 of 4" is actually p.6 and consists of 16 episodes

The final season part 2, which was 12 episodes, is p.7.

Now, this entry, which is the penultimate in the series, as far as we know, is Part 8. Of 9 total (as of this moment).

Hungry for Volume 3 Sorry, I couldn't resist the urge to pun. But for real. When is volume 3 coming out, cus I need another serving of this pronto. (again, I apologize for the food jokes). With that, my thoughts...   ...5/5 by the way. I'll say that up front.  There's your TL;DR if you only wanted to see a score. If you missed my review of volume 1, you can find it here. Manga Review: "She Loves to Cook, She Loves to Eat" vol. 1  Book 2 was great. Just great. There were a number of new and delicious looking dishes and each and every one of them made me hungry. Actually, physically hungry. This manga is a feast for the eyes. It's been years since I lived in Japan (I left in 2015 to return to the US for health reasons), but this has me hankering for Japanese cuisines I've not had in ages. Roll Cake, Character Bento, Stollen, Anko. Good lord I need to go order food....  Hopefully listing a bunch of the foods they eat in this volume didn't spoil anything,

Manga Review: "I Don't Know Which Is Love" vol.1

I don't know if this is the only harem yuri series that exists... but it's the only one I think I've ever read. I'm a sucker for cute romance series. So, when I saw that we were getting a light-hearted new yuri series from Yen Press I decided I had to pick it up. I'd say I'm a pretty big fan of the harem romcom genre to be honest, since I grew up on a steady diet of Tenchi Muyou and the like. So, the idea of a yuri harem series intrigued me. I did a quick google search for "yuri harem manga" and couldn't really find much - certainly nothing on my shelves. So, this would be a first for me. The plot for this one: In high school, Mei was in love with a girl who left her when she found a boyfriend, now in college, Mei is determined to get a girlfriend. I'd say the struggle in this is going to be making JUST ONE girl happy, because from her first day of school Mei already has a sea of admirers, each of whom falls for a differnet aspect of Mei based

Manga Review: "Run Away With Me Girl" vol. 2

I had Norah Jones's "Come Away With Me" stuck in my head after reading this for some reason I was on the fence about whether or not I was going to continue this series after the first volume, despite giving it five stars, but after reading the 2 nd book I’m glad I did. The ‘running away’ starts here and I definitely enjoyed seeing them escape. I’m very hopeful for the relationship between Maki and Midori and I wish them the best (reasonably sure we’re heading toward a happy ending now not some lovers’ suicide/tragic thing, but who knows). More than anything I just want Midori’s fiancé to disappear from existence. Dude is a scumbag. Hoping he’s not in book 3 much. This manga has this weird way of flittering between beautiful and depressing that it’s rather tough to read, but I think it’s worth it. When we see Midori from Maki’s perspective and she’s always sparkling it really hits me with a sense of wonder – but then you see the world from Midori’s side and things are rar
