I am trying hard to get my mojo back into anime having had almost zero interest in it for a couple of years. Some highlights were the recent Shinkai films and one or two others.
Right now I'm watching "Summertime Render" which is not at all what I expected and is both compelling and quite hard to watch due to a fair bit of gore and death and so on. Not really my thing but the story is quite good. A kind of Groundhog Day with a lot of violence.
Then there is "Higehiro: After Being Rejected, I Shaved and Took in a High School Runaway" which seemed a bit dumb initially but which I am taking to slowly. The weird thing is I am sure I've seen this before, though not as an anime. I wonder if I read the manga years ago? I'm apprehensive that it may go in a weird direction but equally it could go in a nice fluffy direction as well.

Oh, both of you mentioned some things I've had my eye on!
Some people I know a little bit are fans of the Summertime Render manga and I thought it looked pretty interesting. I haven't got to it yet as I have a few things I'm meaning to watch, but I still think I would like to try it out.
I've also been wanting to watch A Silent Voice, and I saw trailers for the soda pop one but I didn't hear much else about it. Maybe I should give it a look after all.

I watched Chainsaw Man a little while ago. I know there's supposed to be more coming some time soon, so I'm looking forward to that.
After that I started Lycoris Recoil since it was something I heard good things about last year. I haven't got very far into it yet though.

Arren, how did you find Chainsaw Man? I've seen the preview and I'm keen to give it a watch.
I recently finished watching BNA, it was pretty wholesome and an easy watch. Colours and backgrounds are gorgeous.
I'm hanging out for the Uzumaki series that's been teased for a while now.

I really liked it! The characters are likeable (if deeply messed up), the themes are interesting, the action is exciting. There are some funny parts too, and the visuals are great. It has a bit of an edgelordy side to it but if you don't mind that, then it's worth trying!

Thanks Arren, it sounds interesting, I'll definitely give it a watch! I've seen the preview a while back and thought I'd give it a go at one point, but I'd forgotten about it until I read your post.

I finally finished watching the third (and surely final?) season of Mob Psycho 100. Very satisfied with how it all ended up!

That is a series I've heard so many good things about but have never watched. Must find a boxed CD set or something and binge on it.
