Tanaka-kun is Always Listless (fills the Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun shaped hole in my heart, so funny and cute), Osomatsu-san (absolutely not what I expected, but good also), Space Patrol Luluco (not a whole lot of substance but fun and short)<\/li>\n<li>Tried:\u00a0My name is Sakamoto (started out promising, but the jokes got old after a while), Re:Zero (depressing???), Kiznaiver (people get hurt a lot and I didn&#8217;t like that, but I am told it gets better so I may pick it up again), Gyakuten Saiban (I really, really wanted this to be good, but I&#8217;m sticking to the games. Anime Maya is great, though!)<\/li>\n<li>Games: So much Stardew\u00a0Valley! I played for like 4 hours straight after finishing my defense.
