Do you usually do the anime or manga?

Have only tried manga for One Piece- seems less intimidating that way.

Discworld: Have finished up Light Fantastic and moved on to Sourcery, which I particularly like so far. We have an overarching plot this time, which was one of my big hangups so far, although I still have a shorter attention span than I used to and it's still a book where if I space out for ten seconds we're in a completely different location with a half dozen new characters whose introduction I missed. Still, this is now officially a series I can get into, I think. (which seems odd to decide on book 4, but they're really short!) I'd still rather be doing more Cosmere or Three-body, but these will work nicely until I can track those down. I miss Twoflower but it's nice having Kanina around, and Coin seems interesting.

Eva 3.33+1.01/7 Days and Knuckles: Not gonna lie, all it did for me was trigger a mild bout of depression. Visuals and music were on point as ever. Plot was inscrutable and inserted into its own orifices as ever. I wound up not really caring about *any* of the characters by the end- usually I can at least kinda enjoy Rei and Misato. Shinji is still A Bit Too Real, Man. Ending seemed a bit out of left field, but I will happily take "a bit out of left field" over....whatever the others had. The gratuitous fanservice level would have made me uncomfortable even if I was much younger and more hormonal. All in all, it was....another Eva reboot, albeit with a nice fresh coat of paint. Mental health stuff that I get enough of in my daily life, Russo swerves, and random deep dive Christian jargon. I ain't into it but I don't begrudge people who are, and it was nice to see what the franchise could do with an actual budget behind it.

Things are looking up IRL, which hasn't yet translated to my getting back to any of my shows or games or anything, but life is good despite...*gestures vaguely at the world*
