The show is much more fun than tedious. Steve and Martin's characters are both pretty good and balanced well by having a third lead in Selena Gomez. Definitely give it a shot.

This isn't a sequel it's the end of the original story.

Bleach has been riding a nostalgia wave on top of nice looking animation but this arc, like most of the back half of Bleach, is terrible. Jump cancelled the manga and rushed its ending for a reason. It's possibly biggest overrate in recent anime history, currently bouncing around #1 or 2 all time on MyAnimeList.

Chainsaw Man will only get better if they adapt the manga well. Should be a can't miss going into next year.

Bocchi the Rock has come out of nowhere and has no right being as fun as it is. Ostensibly it's a K-On knock off with the character personalities shuffled, but somehow it's far more enjoyable than that premise. Though I'm sure a lot of anime nerds (including myself) on Reddit can easily relate with the social anxiety.

Since it's around that time of year, I watched Tokyo Godfathers for the first time. Absolutely wonderful movie, it feels like a wholesome Tarantino movie with the somewhat frenetic pacing and exploration of Tokyo's castaways.
