Hikaru no Go vol. 1-23 (Yumi Hotta/Takeshi Obata) - I mentioned HikaGo last month as my actual advent countdown, even though I don't think I was quite on schedule... Anyway, I still really like it even though it should have ended with vol. 17. I should really write a few little bits of Hikaru/Akira.
Whistle! vol. 1-24 (Daisuke Higuchi) - a re-read from a very long time ago and while I still really liked the first half, the second half just didn't carry the weight and bogged down. Whistle! is about soccer, and starts off with a junior high team but the stakes just keep getting higher and higher and the end is really meh. I suspect there was some editorial meddling or something? I think I'll let this go...
Uta~Kata - a rewatch, still lovely, but it's not as strong as some series about magical adolescence.
Astro Boy vol. 1 - a more recent Astro Boy anime that was fun enough but I can't imagine hunting down the rest. I think my favorite 'modern' Astro Boy is the CG movie.
Transformers: Robots in Disguise (Overloaded & Decepticon Island) - this was pretty good story-wise but the designs/animation are kind of ugly. I think this is only the second RID disc I've ever found and yeah, I'd watch more but ??? (Same that iirc there's no collections of Rescue Bots, which sucks because Rescue Bots is cute.)
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues - pretty good and fairly funny but I also feel like attempting to replicate the sheer
everything of Spinal Tap is a pretty impossible task. However, the cameos are amazing and holy shit does Elton John still have a strong voice.
Don't Rub Yourself Against My Ass!! (Sakira) - about the most meh BL manga I picked up like a decade ago and then forgot about. It can also go. The main story is about an ex-cop and it's really explicit but it's just not my cuppa.
Gundam Wing & Endless Waltz - for Christmas, of course. I feel like my mental timeline of Gundam Wing was weirdly off; some things happened way before I thought they should, some far later. Time to finally read the new manga...
