In my defense, how old is 15 in frog years though?
I'm fully aware my attempts at humor are indefensible.
I thought it's been mostly fine, even great in spots.Boruto is so baaaaaaaaaad.

Made in Abyss 110
Caught up with this in one weekend. I really enjoy the art, music, and direction of the show. Episode 10 was a bit disturbing but nothing that wasn't expected. They reminded us about what happens in the Abyss time and time again. Watching through it in a weekend definitely helped as the show slowly gets darker and darker as it goes.
That is a thing? What else am I missing out on?

Did someone erroneously say he had ugly animation as he walked away? Then so, yes it was.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I think there have been 3 OVAs now for that show?
Hilariously appropriate comment given the content of Night is Short, Walk on Girl...
Kakegurui 10 : Yumeko's speech to Sumeragi was powerful, and the music playing during that segment was perfect. This show has some very nice tracks that I'd love to get my hands on.
That girl really knows how to get hypnotic. That's the kind of crazy I like.
Ikishima, on the other hand... I can't stand that character. I can enjoy her crazyness to an extent, but the sexual aspect of it? No. Just no.

The Ancient Magus' Bride 13
That was fantastic. Something very wondrous about the show that makes me want more. I want to know more about the world and about the characters. The animation is wonderful and story is pretty well-executed. I look forward to seeing the anime next season expand on this further.

Sakura having to put Akatsuki Sasuke into her "family pic" will never be not hilarious.
Good grief, she's always been a weirdo.

I never understand why he has that photo or that other photo of him and his team in the robes, when did they even manage to have a scrapbooking time to collect them for memories.

Managing and playing Destiny 2 has distracted me from watching anime, lol.

The anime should definitely expand on the world and characters. Heck one of best things about this series is the world building and the setting. It's a great take on fantasy and magic.
Man reading the Manga artist interview and oh boy is she really humble.
Do you have a link? I'm interested

She says she makes more money than she deserves. Which I find surprising considering how much work she puts in her series.
That reminds me since all 3 OVAs have released I can watch them all in one go sometime this week.

Beyond the Boundary -I'll Be Here-
I should start off by saying this so I don't waste any of your reading time, I love the Beyond the Boundary anime. It was something I went into well after it released and went into with low expectations due to the anime community in large speaking negatively about it. I watched the show and really loved the story and characters. So much so I put it up there as one of Kyoto Animations best anime series next to Hyouka and Clannad.
So now that that's out of the way...
-Past-
This basically the "first movie", but in actuality its a really long recap episode of what occurred in the original show. Every scene in the movie is taken from the anime.
To be perfectly blunt, if you watch this before watching the "second part" instead of the anime, I don't think you are going to get the proper backdrop for the next movie. Which is a shame. It does the job, but it moves through plot points so fast you don't see where everyone develops and that is unacceptable, as character development was one of the things the anime series excels in. In essence, you don't need to watch this movie. Watch the anime series if you have to pick one. This is just a cut down version of the show.
The only thing that stands out is the after credits scene, as it will...sort of...set up the next movie...
-Future-
I wanna get this out of the way now. I LOATHE sequels that
And especially for a sequel of an anime like this one is pretty insulting and made me a little upset.
That said...
Where they go from that premise and concept is quite interesting and done relatively well. The characters keeping
in the dark for her own "happiness" makes sense for a particular character to do after everything that happens. That said, I appreciate the supporting characters calling Akihito out on his shit and making him realize what he is doing is no kindness.
From there, the show gears up for some fights that are arguably better than the show. Which is quite the feat as the anime did some wonderful fight scenes.
The movie did something I think the anime didn't do well enough in and that is making me hate the main villain. In the show he was an annoyance, but here he made moves where I thought he could do real damage and really did put characters in danger that I cared about. All I ask is you make me hate the main villain in any show or movie. This one did that. Also,
Obviously, music and animation is topnotch in both movies. No complaints there at all.
All in all, Future left me satisfied and closed the curtain on Beyond the Boundary. It's hard to get something like that these days from anime and movies. I didn't like the concept the movie built off of, but what they were able to do with it more than made up for it. The anime closed well (though I wanted a tiny bit more closure). But I think this movie really closes the curtain on the series perfectly.
Beyond the Boundary -I'll Be Here- Past: 6.8/10
Beyond the Boundary -I'll Be Here- Future: 8.9/10
Edit: I got the blu-ray for this for under $25. I would say to get it if you even remotely liked Beyond the Boundary.

the twist in the movie I thought was pulled off just right and was brilliantly done. I didn't see it coming until it was revealed and that is hard to pull off on me in many of these movies/shows. They left clues but they were cleverly hidden and I didn't pick up on them immediately. I am glad the movie was able to do that.

We've known it for awhile now, but man, one of these girls is going to be absolutely crused. Rururi's developement alobg tge way wasn't expected as initially she didn't care, but damn, you gotta feel for her at the church scene.

Is the manga finished? Can we expect a complete series or is it one of those where it'll just be "this is where the anime ends but you can continue the story in the manga/light novel/etc."?

The series is still ongoing.
The only thing you can hope for is a season 2 in the future. I mean at least we are getting 24 episodes.
