I've been keeping up with a couple series... But there have been so many series come out that I have been reading the manga... And the Anime version does a piss poor job of it. The one I am looking forward to is coming next Month: PSYREN. Read that manga thanks to NA release of Shonen Jump. 19 years after it started and 16 years after it ended, they are making an anime of it. I REALLY hope they don't screw it up. Since there is no light novel version or anything, it is based on the manga, so hopefully it will be what I want it to be. But as for what I am watching right now... Oddly, all of these were manga I started reading that have now been turned into anime. Some for the better, and some not. There are a few more series I had been reading the comics of at one point... But the Anime's quality was not nearly good enough, so I am not ruining my thoughts of the series with watching the trash animation. Tensei ****ara Slime Datta Ken 4th Season / That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season - The anime has caught up with the manga again, but of course, as mentioned, it is based on light novels so there is more to work off of... But the Anime has largely been following the aesthetic of the manga. One of those that has been doing a good job of it. I never read the novels, so any changes doesn't bother me much. Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu / Skeleton Knight in Another World Season - Another fun isekai fantasy story. Can be a dime a dozen, but this one has some fun characters and a decent enough premise that also skips some of the worst isekai tropes. The main character is so OP... and yet not at the same time, in some funny ways. Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru / From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman - This one has been following the light novels a bit more than the manga, but not as bad as some. Really good action. They do take the "Sword master" fact of the title pretty seriously. Tsuihou sareta Tensei Juukishi wa Game Chishiki de Musou suru / The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System - This one has been doing a good job of following the manga overall, and has decent production values. Another Isekai with some good ideas on how things are handled. Ryoumin 0-nin Start no Henkyou Ryoushu-sama / The Frontier Lord Begins with Zero Subjects - Another manga I started reading a while back. Been done pretty well. It's a fun little wholesome series.

To live is to fight. To fight is to live.

Funny enough, as a One Piece fan myself, I've never watched the anime (so I guess I can't call myself a true fan 😅). I've been reading the manga and have not once seen the anime. I guess having a thousand plus episodes is a big factor as to why. Back then it was still only 200+ episodes. heck, I even started reading One Piece when it was still in the 400+ chapters. Interesting about Dr. Stone, I watched the first 2 seasons, but wasn't able to start the 3rd season, and I've resisted reading the Manga. It was all interesting before the Tsukasa arc, but I guess I didn't get the same excitement to me afterwards. Jojo anime left me really disappointed. The best one was still the stardust crusaders arc, and those that followed are just "meh" to me. I've read the manga and really loved it until Stone Ocean and was really left disappointed with its ending. Then came the decision to make the Steel Ball Run universe fold into the Jojo-verse, which confused the hell out of me. After that I completely stopped with Jojo.
