Let's wrap things up for The Manga Test Drive this year with our annual look in the Rear View Mirror and announce this year's Holiday Review Giveaway winner: mangatestdrive.blogspot.com/2025/12/2025...

Momo's ultrasound for his heart, lungs, and kidneys looked great! We will get the blood values later today and tomorrow, so let's keep hoping that his kidneys and white blood cell counts continue to improve. I appreciate all your help so far, Momo is so close to being all recovered. Anything helps!😺

This is the face of a man who doesn't know he's about to get into his carrier to go get blood work done. Anything helps, we're so close to the final goal of me being in a more comfortable place to continue Momo's care. Thank you so much for all of your help and shares so far. ❤️

To read/re-read as much of my current manga collection as possible within a year.

So, I ran the numbers, and if we can sell another 30-ish copies, we'll be profitable. I fully expected to be selling this first volume at a loss, and I'm floored that we're actually doing this 😭💖 Thank you.

The 70s. Termite Terrace is closed. Its residents either dead, retired, or moved on to other projects. But their creations, the Looney Tunes, lived on in some form or another to become inescapable cultural icons. This is the story of Bugs Bunny and pals and their legacy. youtu.be/GmypUwG6x2s

God, we've got too many goddamn Republicans in Iowa already, the last thing we need is the Widow Kirk fellating the couchfucker on and off-stage across the state.

If you've never watched or read Devilman, it truly is one of those Rosetta stone texts that pops up E V E R Y W H E R E. Guts and Griffith? That's Devilman Kamui and Fuuma? Shoujo Devilman Kaworu and Shinji? Speedrun Devilman Madoka and Homura? Yuri Devilman

another robot highlight for 2025: man wearing humanoid mocap suit kicks himself in the balls

There are more shoujo/josei/joseimuke anime coming out last season and this than we've probably gotten in the last five years total, but some people don't pay attention so I decided to write up a guide for all the upcoming series!

Send help, Hades 2 is eating my brain.

Our final Holiday Review is another miracle manga license: Stop!! Hibari-Kun, an early 80s comedy manga with a trans heroine that has aged way better than you could imagine: mangatestdrive.blogspot.com/2025/12/holi...

Why did no one tell me until this evening that they're making a Kaiju Girl Caramelize anime next year?! I love that manga, and the teaser looks great:

this is why I can never log off

now for the traditional eating of the christmas tree

I present: Da Haul.

My father in law has done his traditional Christmas Day Facebook post to remind us of the true meaning of the day: Reminding us of the greatest Christmas of all, December 25th, 1989, when they shot that bastard Ceaușescu

all i want for christmas is stephen miller to be run over by a garbage truck

Give me the level of self satisfaction and confidence this boy exudes

Love it when I can't get back to sleep because my husband will not stop snoring AND discovering that the guest bathroom has a broken blusher that nobody will be able to fix until tomorrow. What a way to start Christmas Day.

I’m a MAN A MAN’S man I eat STEAKS With TRUFFLE BUTTER At FANCY restaurants And I pay CLOSE ATTENTION To what OTHER DUDES order And my ability to enjoy food is VERY DELICATE

time for the only holiday tradition that matters

tfw you have no interest in the treacly mainstream Christmas movies your in-laws insist on watching and knowing you could never convince them to watch the weird and goofy Christmas movies you actually enjoy.

in the opened fire. straight up “roastin it”. and by “it”, haha, well. let’s justr say. My chestnits

It's finally time to enjoy the results of the Bakening.

Happy holidays from Black Jack.

Finally, I have the time to actually dig into this thing.

they don’t tell you when you buy a christmas tree at the christmas tree farm that you could take it home, decorate it, and then be relaxing in your living room seven nights later when A BAT suddenly flies out and starts CRASHING AROUND YOUR HOUSE

We got a lot of older manga licenses this year, and that includes the first-ever English release of Cat's Eye. This classic phantom thief story from WSJ has plenty of style, but it's brought down by its repetitiveness and the dumbest detective ever. mangatestdrive.blogspot.com/2025/12/holi...

Wow, SteveM's latest video is...kinda sloppy and shitty. Normally he does these long-form anime director/studio retrospectives which are fairly well-researched. This one is just a collection of all the grievances people have with CR these days, which is fine but unusual for him to get so topical.

It's Christmas Eve, so remember to leave out milk and betamax tapes for Santa tonight.

There was a pile of greenery on the floor and he just decided to burrow into it

Found the perfect charm for my PS Vita: a smaller PS Vita

This year saw a lot of miracle manga licenses. That includes Viz's release of Kingdom, a long-running shonen spin on China's Warring States period. For me, it was not worth the wait, as I found this first volume DEEPLY underwhelming. mangatestdrive.blogspot.com/2025/12/holi...
