    To start things off, the shows I am looking forward to week to week has dwindled down to two at this point (but I will probably keep watching the third just because I am watching so few shows this season):

    • Dusk Beyond the End of the World - I mentioned in this thread last week that I was worried that it was heading into the direction of Metallic Rouge. Well, my fears are coming to fruition. I have been really disappointed by the most recent couple episodes. Fingers crossed that it gets back on track.
    • Touring After the Apocalypse - This show has been delivering exactly what I wanted. It is a great example of a lighthearted slice of life trek through the apocalypse with just enough touch of melancholy that hits just right. I’ve been enjoying it a lot.
    • Campfire Cooking Season 2 - Stable performance again this week. Elrand is great, and I am looking forward to dungeon diving in the future.

    Now…I was able to finish Haruhi this past week, including watching the movie. Some spoiler-free thoughts…it was fine. I do think that the movie was the best that Haruhi had to offer, but the whole show never really connected with me.

        I did! I actually didn’t find it as grueling as I had heard it made out to be. That is most likely because I was able to watch all eight episodes over the course of maybe two weeks at most instead of waiting for each episode to release over the course of two months. I was honestly amazed at how they put so much effort into animating the same episode (roughly) eight times. They put way more effort into them than I thought since they were doing stuff like changing angles/compositions/lines/outfits, meaning there wasn’t that much they could just copy/paste from week to week.
