Oh my god the Ahsoka series gives me hope that there can be good stories told onscreen in Star Wars again! Maybe I'm just a sucker for the characters from TCW/Rebels but I am so glad that this new series which is supposed to draw in new audiences and introduce them to Ahsoka remembered to also keep the writing solid for the old fans as well.
All of the decisions that the returning characters make really do make sense given where they are in the narrative and the new obstacles they have to overcome. Ahsoka trying to train Sabine in the past but then abandoning her training makes so much sense because Ahsoka is still trying to get over Anakin's fall to the dark side. She doesn't trust herself to be a good mentor, and she doesn't want Sabine to end up like Anakin.
The Rebels characters desperately wanting to get Ezra back despite the poor odds also makes a lot of sense despite how boneheaded they all are about it because we know from Rebels exactly how much they all mean to each other. They truly are a found family and from watching the episodes I remembered exactly how much their bond really meant to me as well. I feel the new actors also were able to capture the sense of familiarity they have with each other super well (especially Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Eman Esfandi).
And it was soooo clever of them to show Ahsoka's memories of having to fight in the Clone Wars and spelling out in words exactly how damaging it was to her well-being that she was a child forced into a command position in a war. And even double clever that Anakin's ghost was there to guide her. When he said "One is never too old to learn, Snips" it got me so good because he's been told his entire life that he's too old to learn by the stupid Jedi council of assholes.
It's clear that Ahsoka sees this trauma from war is also carried on by both Sabine and Ezra, and that's part of the reason why she wants to train Sabine but is also afraid of training her. And another reason why she was glad in the end that Sabine was able to find Ezra and get him home, even though Sabine disobeyed her orders to do so. She must have felt bad that Ezra was forced to sacrifice himself when he had not yet reached/barely reached adulthood for the sake of winning a decisive battle in a war. Ahsoka saw that it was a decision she may have made if she was in his position, and that it's a decision no child should ever have to make.
Between the Ahsoka series and Fionna and Cake, I'm so so thankful that we have two sequel series that carry on the spirit of the properties they were sequels to! Bravo!!!

(silly interaction beneath read more)
[ID: Digital Art in color of Trigun Maximum, characters included are Wolfwood, Elendira, and Legato in a casual meeting situation. The piece consists of orangey yellow lighting and purple shadows. Wolfwood sits on the left side, facing Elendira who’s on the right. He’s seated on a plain wooden chair with one knee up and he’s holding the strap to his Punisher in his left hand while his right sits against his thigh, He has an irritated expression as he speaks to Elendira. Elendira is sitting in a fancier seat, her right arm rests against Wolfwood’s propped up knee, her left hand holds her suitcase. She’s sitting cross legged with an amused expression. Legato can be seen in the back at the center of the image in his mobile body case, one of his eyes shown to be glaring at Wolfwood. End ID]
[ID: Sketch, uncolored comic. Elendira says to Wolfwood, “I’m not telling you to dedicate yourself to him, but just accept the situation at hand. We could get along better if we were on the same page.” Wolfwood responds, “Don’t peg me me for an optimist. I’m not dumb. But, I’m also not going to just live in resignation. Plus, I don’t have any interest in getting along with ya.” Elendira coos, “Aw, you sure? I have a wonderful shoulder to cry on when the weak people you’re trying to protect eventually dies in the coming months. Though, I guess it’s fine. Someone like you might just die before then anyway...” She snickers in her hand while Wolfwood is speechless and just glares. Legato is faintly drawn in the back, glaring at Wolfwood, muttering “worthless” repetitively. End ID]

So one thing Imma praise til I die is the sheer efficient storytelling of Dungeon Meshi
Just look at Mithrun
Immediately set up as the most important person in the room by being the only one not looking at the camera, mysterious covered face but always there, just barely off to the side
About one chapter of being incredibly badass and a fucking madlad
And then Ryoko Kui dumps a bucket of water on his head so you simply cannot mistake him as anything other than a sad wet cat of a man
