My anime list is always up to date but my manga list is not representative of the manga I’ve read at all. It’s out of date, is missing a ton of series (MAL is missing a ton of manhwa too) and overall the manga list is far more trouble to keep up than the anime list. So take the manga list with a grain of salt.
Do want to mention that "Golden Haired Elementalist" is my favorite Otome Isekai, but it isn't in MAL so I can't put it into my favorite manga section.

About Utena, no, I did not watch the series... Yet. I've been seeing Utena for a while and I want to watch it. However, my attention span is... I really can't sit and watch long anime or TV shows. I start something, I never finish it (even though I'm curious about what's going to happen next) or I finish it months later. Just now I finished Ouran Host Club, which I started in March (i guess), and opened MAL to log it, then I saw your comment. Thank you so much and I'm so sorry for the late reply.
About the list I created, I want to continue watching things in my list, but I kinda don't have the motivation. I don't like leaving things unfinished, but like I said my attention shifts way too fast and because I don't want to drop some anime like Madoka Magica or Utena, I can't even start them. I think I'll really like them but if I'll watch them how I watched Ouran, I'm afraid I won't enjoy them as much as I expect. Long story short, I want to start watching but I just can't. I'm so sorry if this is tmi.
I'll definitely check out Princess Tutu, you got me at Swan Lake. How did you know I like Tchaikovsky lol.
Thanks for the comment and thanks for the friend request. I can't even convey how excited I am right now!
Part 6 has been underwhelming, but what are you gonna do. I've had fun watching it when the batches release but am definitely in the boat of preferring the week-by-week releases. If the quality was a higher it might be more bearable, but I'm always left feeling a bit empty when they're all done. While most Jojo parts are strongest for me in the final stretch, it's way more true for Part 6 so I hope they can pull off some exciting sequences. Fingers crossed! This last batch really crept up on me and will be here in no time. Actually...I just checked an it's freaking tomorrow! Will have a fun time this weekend :D.
Yes, the second season of MiA was fantastic. Don't really have much to add here but overall there ended up being very few things to really nitpick. While I was a bit concerned about some CG choices early on, it never really ended up being an issue for me in the long run. The sequences involving the Turbinid Dragons were probably the weakest, but even those barely detracted from the great animation everywhere else. It's too bad that we've hit a very real road block in terms of getting any more anime but I'm sure when it finally does reappear people are going to be really excited. At least we have the manga in the meantime (kind of) to tie us over .
The Utena movie doesn't top the series for me for much the same reasons you mentioned, but I still really love it for the visuals and direction. They really took a swing with it and you could tell they were really unrestrained by expectations coming off the series. I appreciate it for it's boldness.
I'm glad that Shadow's House turned around in the way that it did! I could understand your worry and it's always nice when you end up being pleasantly surprised. Summertime Rendering is still on a plan to watch list with my buddy. We just have the last 3 episodes of Vivy to watch and then it might be a contender for next show.
That's so funny you mentioned Princess Tutu because my girlfriend and I actually watched the first 2 episodes a few weeks ago! I've always known it to be one of those classic shows and it's relation to shows like Utena and Madoka (from what I've heard) really cemented it as one to finally watch. I'll let you know my thoughts when we've seen a bit more!
Currently, I'm watching Chainsaw Man obviously. Have you read the manga? I'm enjoying it quite a bit so far. I can't help myself but get caught up in the insane narratives being spun by the fans, lovers, hater, everyone in between (probably at the detriment of my own health). It's definitely not perfect, but I don't think anyone can deny it's one of the sharpest looking shows out there right now (Just kidding...a lot of people can apparently). While it's definitely an action series, I'm often finding myself more drawn into the more quiet scenes. People just smoking together, talking about their current situation and future, drinking together at a welcome party. These sorts of scenes were there in the manga, but with the way they're being adapted they stand out a lot more. I'm digging the shows "vibe" more than anything . I almost feel like the action could go a bit harder at times, and I'm sure you can tell my aversion (but I promise not absolute hatred) to CG unfortunately hold back my enjoyment of certain sequences and cuts by a little. Overall though, even the CG looks pretty dang good most of the time.
The CGDCT show we're currently watching is Do it Yourself, which has been pretty fun. There really isn't much to report on it from the 4 or so episodes I've seen. It's just a pleasant show to throw on and unwind to. I don't think it's as good as Bocchi the Rock from what I've heard though, and definitely want to check that out.
Besides all of that , I binged a bunch of animations by Mizue Mirai the other day. They are just 2-8 minute experimental animation shorts but I had a fun time going through his catalog. If I had to suggest one I'd probably say Picotopia, it's about 2 minutes long. I also got into a binge of Kago Shintarou manga during October for spooky season. I wouldn't look that one up unless you don't mind pretty intense ero/guro content but it was really fascinating and I saw all sorts of things I never expected :D.
