Finished watching series 1 of City Hunter, pretty good, Ryo has a crippling sex addiction but doesn't let it get in the way of his job, hes a stone cold professional

Started watching Dirty Pair, was scared because these are supposed to be "sexy" anime girls but the whole thing seems less titillating than an average One Piece episode, pretty good

I like that these shows both do wholly standalone episodes, I miss that in this age of sprawling 30 episode arcs

How are old comedy animes funnier and more charming than new animes

Unless you're a series that's already mainstream as hell it's tuff to do well with a mostly episodic series these days especially when you typically only get to do chunks of 13 or 26 episode seasons. People want their overarching plots!

The standalone episodes of the latest Lupin series ruled, but the overarching plot is just a big ol shrug.

Boys Run The Riot is great because not only is it, as you say, very rare to have a trans man lead, it's also pretty rare to have an LGBT manga with a largely straight cis supporting cast. So it is an LGBT manga because it's about the main trans guy's deal, but at the same time it's a great "guys being dudes" series.

And if you haven't, you should still watch it because it's still one of the best comedies out there. Apart from some jokes involving Tyler being a lech, it still holds up really well

Reigen is such a fantastic character. "Scumbag with a heart of gold" is a hard archetype to keep running, usually they just end up being fully good guys, but they nail it with Reigen

This reminds me of that one Isekai where the mc became an irl mega CEO so that he could spend all his time that was rich being a neet but dies the first day and has to bootstraps himself back to being ultra rich in the new world with the help of his lizardman sidekick and business management knowledge. Also he gets a dragon to work for him for food and that's how he starts his big plan to being rich again. Ending song was pretty catchy though.

kuwabara is absolutely an angel and i love him, same with okuyasu in diu even if he is less of an angel. he's still a good lad.
