Sengoku Youko is a new one that has a foxgirl protagonist, and its first season just finished airing. Sadly, it doesn't have an English dub announced. I also second checking out the Spice And Wolf reboot that just started airing. That one does have a dub announced that should be coming in a couple of weeks.

I second the other mentions of 86, Delicious In Dungeon, Madoka Magica, and Overtake, and I'll also throw in:

* Assassination Classroom
* Code Geass
* Dr. Stone
* Fruits Basket (the 2019 reboot, not the original from 2001)
* JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
* Kaguya-sama: Love is War
* Laid-Back Camp
* Outlaw Star
* Shakugan No Shana
* Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online (technically a spin-off of Sword Art Online but can be watched by itself)

There's a decent mix of older and newer anime to choose from. All of these have English dubs except for Overtake. Delicious In Dungeon and the third season of Laid-Back Camp are currently airing, while Dr. Stone and Gun Gale Online have future seasons announced to be coming in the future. Finally, unless something's changed in the past few months that I'm not aware of, all of these should be available on one of the streaming sites you mentioned.

Cardinals home opener today, and it happens to be against my other home team, the Marlins. Normally when my two favorite teams face each other, my #1 loyalty lies with the Marlins and I cheer for them, but they're so awful this year (and they just lost their best pitcher to Tommy John Surgery) that I've already pretty much given up on their season. So go Cardinals.

I caught a Cutiefly on Route 2 and a Gastly in the nearby Hau'oli Cemetary to add to my team, then I trained on all of the trainers in the area before reaching the Pokemon Center in front of Verdant Cave. Before I went into the cave for the island trial, I decided to check the nearby berry tree because "why not, maybe I'll get lucky" and sure enough, I got lucky... a Crabrawler showed up from the berry pile! I wasn't planning on using Crabrawler in this run because of the randomness involved in finding one, but since the game gave me one right away, I caught it and added it to my team.

After that, Crabrawler basically solo'd the entire Verdant Cave trial by itself. I picked up the TM for Brick Break inside the cave (why is such an amazing move given to you so early in this game?), taught it to Crabrawler, and it obliterated all of the Alolan Rattata and the Totem Alolan Raticate in the cave. The only thing it couldn't take on was a Drowzee used by the Team Skull grunt who showed up in the middle of the trial, but Cutiefly took care of that with Struggle Bug. So now the first island trial is done, and it's off to route 3 next.

My current team:
Lv16 Popplio
Lv16 Zorua
Lv15 Magnemite
Lv14 Cutiefly
Lv15 Gastly
Lv13 Crabrawler

I haven't done a Pokemon challenge run in a while (not since my Porygon solo through Red version back in late 2022) and I haven't played through a gen 7 game in even longer than that, but I was getting the itch to do both. So here I go, starting another challenge run. I'm going to beat Pokemon Ultra Moon, which includes one of the most difficult boss battles in the entire franchise in Ultra Necrozma, using only unevolved Pokemon. To further clarify, that means I'll only be using base form Pokemon that are capable of evolving, so evolved Pokemon and single-stage Pokemon that don't evolve at all are not allowed. I also won't be using any items in battle aside from Pokeballs to catch my team members. Held items on my Pokemon (including Z crystals to use Z moves) are fair game though.

I started the game with Popplio, then I caught a Magnemite and a Zorua near the Trainer's School on Route 1. So far I've only done the early-game tutorial stuff and taken care of things in Hau'oli City, which was a battle against a Team Skull grunt and a battle against Ilima and his annoying Smeargle. I'll head up Route 2 towards Verdant Cavern and Ilima's island trial in my next play session.

I don't know if this will be as interesting as some of my past solo runs, but hopefully it's at least somewhat fun and challenging.

I've definitely seen people complain that Eve's design is "unrealistic" (which is ridiculous because she's a literal 3D scan of a real-life Korean model) or "too sexualized", but I've seen more people complaining about the above complainers being "woke SJW's" than I've actually seen the above complainers complaining about the game itself.

So it seems to me like the complaints do exist, they're just being blown way out of proportion.

The problem is, Nintendo would never let that stuff from their IP be included in the non-Nintendo versions of the game. Either Bandai Namco would need to find decent exclusive content for the other versions of Soul Calibur 7 to make up for the lack of the Nintendo stuff (like they did with Spawn and Heihachi in Soul Calibur 2) or they would have to make the game exclusive to Nintendo's system, which I doubt they would do.

A better idea would be to not even bother with the Soul Calibur name and just make a full-on Nintendo x Bandai Namco crossover game, featuring weapon-based fighters from a bunch of franchises on both sides. The Nintendo side could have characters from Zelda, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Kid Icarus, even some oddball picks like Meta Knight from Kirby and a few Pokemon like Scyther and Sirfetch'd. The Namco side could have characters from Soul Calibur, the Tales series, the Souls franchise, Elden Ring, Baten Kaitos, Scarlet Nexus, even some anime characters whose tie-in games Bandai Namco develops or publishes like Trunks from DBZ and Kirito from SAO.

That game would sell like hotcakes despite being Nintendo-exclusive, and then they could use that money to make Soul Calibur 7 better later on.

BO3, CoD4/MWR, MW3 (2023), BOCW

Meh tier:

Fixed for accuracy. MW3 fixing the broken, unbalanced, game-destroying bullshit of MW2 was one of the best things to ever happen to this franchise. If stupid shit like endlessly replenishable noobtubes boosted by Danger Close, 20-foot Commando knife lunges, quickscoping boosted by Sleight Of Hand Pro's faster ADS speed, and Stopping Power as a perk (without a Juggernaut perk to balance it out) continued to exist in CoD, the series would be dead by now.

I did learn something today though: I was technically wrong about the whole "5 XFL teams and 3 USFL teams" thing. The Houston Roughnecks in this new UFL are actually just the Houston Gamblers from the USFL (same coaching staff and mostly the same roster) re-branded using the name and logo of the Houston Roughnecks from the XFL. So in reality, it's actually 4 teams from each league that survived the merge.

I still don't understand how 2 leagues merged and now they have less teams than before

They wanted to start with an even 8 teams for financial reasons, so they cut out some of the redundant or less popular teams from the previous leagues. It ended up being 5 XFL teams and 3 USFL teams that made the cut in the new UFL, but they do hope to expand to 10 or 12 teams in the future.

One of the few dubs I watch over subs is Pokemon. Do you know what Meowth's voice sounds in Japanese? It's nails on a chalkboard. Can't stand it. And that's not just because I grew up with the English dub of Pokemon.

I also refuse to watch Pokemon subbed, but it's primarily due to the names and not the voice acting. I'm just far too accustomed to the English names from the games, so hearing Charizard be called "Lizardon" after 25+ years of Charizard being Charizard to me would drive me crazy.
