Started a couple of shows this week, and here are my impressions:

Chihayafuru - SungWon/ProZD has been talking this show up for years, and since it's recently been featured on the Quest for the Best podcast I finally decided to give it a try. It seems fun! I wasn't sure about it initially since the first couple of episodes very much feel like the "let's be mean to Chihaya and Arata for no goddamn reason" show but now that I'm about 5 episodes in it's become fun to watch the main character bulldoze through her problems.
Nyaight of the Living Cat - A zombie apocalypse is going down, except instead of zombies it's cats. Anyone who allows a cat to cuddle up with them turns into one! Fun writing, great voice acting, mediocre animation. Might be better to read the manga tbh.

I'm also coming up on the end of season 1 of Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex. Episodes 20 & 21 were awesome, so I look forward to finishing the first season soon.
