English-translated Dimension W manga finally reaches past the anime:

Mangakakalot has the newest volume of Dimension W translated, the first volume that is set after the anime's ending.  It's been a long wait.  The anime aired in 2016.  But now, hopefully, we'll be getting plenty of Dimension W in our manga diets from here on.  There are still plenty of intriguing questions in the story that need answers, like what was Mira's Father's intention when he made a sentient AI and an all-new coil to power her?  What is this judgment day people speak of?  Why was Mira's family killed?  So on and so forth.  The story is only heating up from here.

The art to Dimension W is fantastic.  Not only Mira, but Elizabeth is also so beautiful that I find myself just stuck and staring at the same panel for thirty seconds or a minute to drink it all in.

It's making me wish they would make a sequel anime season to this series, but that will never happen.  The sales to the first season weren't nearly good enough.  *sigh*  But that's all the more reason to treasure the manga, it's all we're ever going to get.

I upgraded Naruto's anime in my top anime rankings to the status of 'flawless.'  This is because Naruto Kai has removed all the really obnoxious flaws from the series and I am now content.  The time-saving cuts of all the random filler has completely revitalized this series and made me fall in love with it all over again.

Akatsuki Hiden is just random nonsense about the villains set in the past before they all died.  It can safely just be ignored.  I already know the full timeline as things stand.

In the coming months a lot of good things are due.  SAO Progressive volume 5, SAO volume 18, No Game no Life volume 7, Hai to Gensou no Grimgar volume 11, Parchment and Wolf volume 3, Mega Man 11, the Solo movie comes out in blu-ray, Akame ga Kill! Zero volume 8, Kimi ni Todoke volume 30, Sakura Trick volume 8, Zero no Tsukaima volume 22, Angel Beats: Heaven's Door volumes 10-11, Index NT volume 21. . .

Fairy Tail, SAO and Index anime all begin in a couple weeks, but that's just the half of it.  The ending to Zero no Tsukaima, Sakura Trick, Kimi ni Todoke and Angel Beats would be just as momentous.  I've been waiting for these things for years or even decades, and now we're only months away.

So many good things are happening in the near future it will be difficult to keep up.  And the best part is, some of these things are going to extend throughout 2019.  For instance, we'll finally get to see the ending to Game of Thrones.  The end of the Skywalker saga comes with Episode IX.  The resolution to Thanos' snap comes with Avengers 4.  So many cliffhangers that have lasted decades will be resolving soon.  2019 is simply the place to be.  I can't wait to get there.
