Anime, Manga, and Light Novel Blog Posts That Caught My Eye This Week (November 21, 2025) It just hit me that I've been making these weekly lists of blog posts for about eight-and-a-half years(!) now.

I was looking through some of those early lists, and it made me kind of sad realizing how few of the bloggers that were highlighted back then are still active.

A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace Episode 7 – “I Didn’t See It Coming” I'm going to be honest, when I read the title for the first time, my mind jumped to the song Last Surprise from Persona 5.

Ranma 1/2 Season 2: Episode 7 – “Instant Spring” We return to having the premise recap for the series, and it was done in a creative way. While I've gotten tired of premise recaps for other anime that I've seen (I'm looking at you, One Piece), the ones for Ranma 1/2 are presented differently each time they appear, which keeps it fresh and interesting. When the episode begins, Akane returns home from school and discovers that the dojo's sign is gone.

Getting ready for this week's Detective Conan Cinema Saturday!

Did I see correctly that Crunchyroll's only new home video releases for February 2026 are Blu-ray reissues of the two seasons of Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion?
