Dorei Shounin + Moto Sekai Ichi:

Both of these manga are just getting started but so far splendid.  One is a typical fantasy setting with yuushas and maous.  The other is a vrmmorpg turned real isekai.  Both settings are typical, but the characters within are interesting, dynamic and new.  You don't ordinarily see a slave trader as a main character, or a guy who neglected school and work so that he could become the strongest character in an mmo, only to have his account hacked, who then decides to just commit suicide since he's lost everything anyway.  Now that's dedication to your priorities.

In other news, I defeated Wakana's route in Sanaba Witch.  Just one more to go.

Granblue Fantasy the Animation S2 is slated for October of this year.  2019 is looking better every day.

Toshiro Masuda's 'Alone' and 'Loneliness,' go figure, are remixes of each other.  However, I managed to salvage the situation by editing 'Alone' to only include the portions of its song which were different from 'Loneliness,' so I can keep them both in pared down form.  I don't want to lose a Naruto song if I can help it.  That's why I'm keeping both versions of Ultimate Secrets even though only a portion of version 2 is different from version 1.  For the sake of even that small portion they're both worth having.

What really annoys me is Neji's Theme and Tenten's Theme being remixes of Childhood Memories.  All three songs are great but I can only include one in my hall of fame.  I decided on Childhood Memories, but any one of the three could be the correct choice, so I'm losing out no matter what I do.  Sometimes there are really good remixes like this I just hate to exclude, like Figlio Perduto by Sarah Brightman. . .
