Himoutos R Us
I included Himouto Umaru-chan on my list of 58 Anime Shows You Should Watch before getting to the second season. Then I wondered if it really ranks that highly. Then I watched the second season.
Yes.
It's a latter-day Calvin and Hobbes.

Making A List, Checking It Twice
Because Twitter still doesn't have a goddam edit button.
Pixy's Big List of Anime You Should Watch
1. Little Witch Academia TV (2017)
Great characters, fantastic animation, and more to the story than you'd expect. The two movies are great fun but you can jump into the TV series without watching them first.https://t.co/zdHMjf48vr

Netflix: Erased
Erased, a.k.a. Boku Dake ga Inai Machi, is one of my favourite anime shows of the past couple of years. Beautifully animated, tightly scripted, perfectly acted, and emotionally intense.
There's also a Japanese live action movie that I haven't seen.
And now a Netflix series.
I think I'm going to decide it's really good but never actually watch it, rather than destroying my last remaining faith in humanity.

Last weekend I was bored and didn't have the energy to do anything much, and there was nothing of interest on Netflix* and I didn't feel like poking around the current anime season, so I thought, why the hell not?
I've been going through about four episodes a day since then and just started on Next. Plan to go the whole way through - four full seasons, six OVAs, and five movies. And maybe Lost Universe as well, which is kinda-sorta related.
I've already started having dreams set to the Slayers score.
* Netflix Australia has about one tenth the content of the US version. It's pretty sad.

Of topic but the RSS feed for ace.mu.nu still points to links at minx.cc:1080 which are sometimes dodgy but since the DNS apocalypse have become useless.

I think I have everything untangled now. I assigned minx.cc to two different IP addresses by mistake, so depending on where you came from it might or might not work. (Mostly not.)

Steam says I have a combined 95 hours in Sakura Dungeon, HuniePop, and HunieCam Studio. The rest of the bundle is at least amusing wallpaper.

I can endorse HuniePop, it's a blast.
I can... what's the opposite of endorse... Sakura Spirit.

I can also add that a few of the Steam achievements for HuniePop are actually challenging, and you can't get them in the same run (he says, having tried to score without booze, conversation, or trait upgrades...).
HunieCam Studio, on the other hand, was easy to 100%, and the only reason not to get all of the non-grindy achievements in Sakura Dungeon is that some of them are broken unless you have the beta 1.05 patch.

But now I have two episodes of Made in Abyss to catch up on.
(Checks site.)
Four episodes. A very long week.

Pixy Is Watching (Summer 2017)
Made in Abyss
I've only started on finished the first episode, but it's definitely worth checking out just for the visuals. It's gorgeous, sort of half Castle in the Sky and half Hidamari Sketch.
That video will likely self-destruct when the DMCA-bots catch up with it, so just watch the show already.
Episode 2: "I got the stick out."
The writing clunks on occasion, but the characters and worldbuilding are genuinely engaging. Will continue to watch this one.
Episode 4: Still going strong. Three giant holes in the ground out of four so far.
Huh. The guy who's directing this also directed Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi back in the day. I can see that, though this is much less frenetic.
