I played the entirety of Clannad (5.5/10), which spent the majority of it's time simply showcasing the daily lives of it's characters, and really displaying their archetypes, their idiosyncrasies and quirks, all while saving it's more substantial content for it's climaxes.

I don’t care what anyone says, I really like this illustration. The specific colour grading is absolutely immaculate, the atmosphere is showcased in such an effective way and the contrast between Emilia and Rem (who both look fantastic here) and their environs works well.

Witch Hat Atelier

A good read with it's standout aspect being the marvelous paneling. Still, it had a heartening core with effective underlying darker elements, a lovely magic system and likable central characters alongside a satisfyingly diverse supporting cast.

7-7.5/10

Finished the FGO Summer Camp Event. It's just a ridiculous but good time as per usual but heightened by all the exposure to Emiya being all soft and carefree (which I really appreciated getting more of) and I also found Murasaki serving as our genre-savvy guide pretty endearing.

I got death threats filling up semitrucks
Tell me who I am, guess I don't have a choice
All because I liked a boy"

Mistborn Era 1

A delightful series with a solidly implemented mystery heavy lore, dialogue/dynamics brimmed with charm, a memorably evocative ending, really appealing character writing, a stunning romance and with Elend Venture who's one of my fav characters ever now.

8-8.5/10

Fate/Apocrypha

The plot was too ambitious and the cast too vast for this author to properly handle it all, let alone in five volumes. Ended up with a ''okay'' execution of the story's ideas, a mostly mediocre cast and a few properly good major characters (like Astolfo).

6.5/10

Blue Flag

It had a sweet main trio and the content centered around them was a bit adorable. Also had some neat commentary in regards to heteronormativity/sexism, but that one atrocious chapter attempting to ''both sides'' homophobia was a permanent stain to the series.

5.5/10

Finished Fate/Strange Fake Vol 1. It was distinctly interesting reading more of Narita's eccentric storytelling and well-managed but sprawling cast of characters in the context of a Fate storyline and the Nasuverse lore. The latter which the author uses satisfyingly plentifully.

Berserk

Deservingly iconic series that has an absolutely incredible protagonist whose development was laid out so poignantly, a central group of major characters that are meticulously managed, hauntingly astonishing artwork and with a truly heartfelt thematic core.
