Tales of Arise ost is worthless:

Like the Star Ocean the Divine Force ost, the Tales of Arise ost has no decent music.  Nothing worth listening to 100 times.  I was reserving some spots for these soundtracks to fill in my 5-star playlist, but now I see there was no need.  I can instead give all those spots to the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack which was actually good.  So I promoted Agnus Colony, A Life Protected, The Weight of Life - Hope, The City, Erythia Sea, and the Inuyasha Theme Song (admittedly not from Xenoblade 3, but the other 5 are); replacing Rebellion, Waltz Clavier, FF XI Opening Theme, Forest Labyrinth, Macalania Forest (X-2 version), and Marche.

Six instrumental songs for six instrumentals.  Perhaps the age of vocalists is over.

While checking out the Tales of Arise soundtrack I needed something new to read, so I dived in to Railgun's second side story, wherein Mikoto visits a shopping mall in Russia.  It's pretty good for a book with nobody but Mikoto in it.  I still have a ways to go before I finish it, which I guess is a good thing.

I've finished my rewatch of DanMachi and now await its return this coming January fully prepared.  Many other series are almost done.

Like everyone else on Earth I'm anxiously awaiting the midterm results.  Not much longer now.
