the woes of the night hittin. naws my nails off

summer 2019 anime sum-up

lmao i realized i never did this and posted the fall season b4 this.... oops

kimetsu no yaiba: tbh started out kinda meh. and now it’s turned into one of the new big shounens. i was not expecting that. nearing the end got rly good and i was rly looking forward to more episodes! tanjiro gets cooler and cooler! animation is rly nice (thanks ufotable) and the way tanjiro’s water is animated. like. aesthetic asf. it’s so good. i love black-haired emo dude and zenitsu (my spirit animal) and ofc nezuko she is adorable im c r y. side note: the hashira? i think they’re called? some of the ugliest fkn characters i’ve seen in ages like flame boy? stone boy? i HATE them. and the gem dude too like man get a new tattoo artist on god.... he needs it.,,,,,,and inosuke is so pretty it’s unfair

dr stone: ok man dr stone rly went off. tbh. i’ve always been a whore for chemistry since reading the flavia de luce series (btw, i want more books of) and watching this just tickles my noodle brain in a good way... who needs prozac when i get a shitton of serotonin from watching senku dick around....  (btw what is going on with what’s his face and the girl. yuzuriha????? i can’t remember. i love senku don’t get me wrong but i need their perspective too... bc i hate lion dude... so much.... dick....) again i will repeat that i am a whore for chemistry so i get oFF on this. backgrounds are amazing/ animation so nice n clean (most o the time lmao). i thought i would hate the black n white haired trickster boi and ms yellow ponytail and suika but no! dr stone is such a good show that they are now great, loveable characters. also i am senku and chrome’s whore so jfc. man, i love the explanations of all the chemistry shabang, but some things i think would be better if explained! like senku doing physical labour at the beginning- ex. making all those pots and building that shit by hisself. i know he weak af. yes he smart but like. construction? difficult. pottery? even for me the artist . difficult. and that shed of his was filled to the brim. HOW. anyways, i love this so much i am crying constantly

just realized i didnt need to write about dr stone. oh well. 

danmachi 2: wtf yo. haruhime is so pretty but not a fan of her personality! bell still cute af and still don’t rly like aiz! animation good as always, and my god i shit myself whenever the argonaut theme starts up bc that is ? one of the best pieces of non-sawano hiroyuki pieces i’ve ever heard? addicted to it. and the opening! love the dynamics, the brief ‘rain’ scenes like when mikoto slashes the raindrops and just her motion basically? as an animator that is what i aspire to accomplish because i just love that. tiny little scene. 

arifureta: this would have been so much better had they dragged out mc’s op-ifying process! made him suffer more! i explained this briefly in my ‘first thoughts’ post for this season, but story-wise and pacing-wise his power-up could have been so much more deserved and gratifying. think shield hero- loser suffers, gets angry, slowly builds up power in an epic payoff! would have been so epic too. and also if they’d made his gained powers less.... crazy nerfed. again: HE SHOULD HAVE SUFFERED MORE AND THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER SHOW. harem thoughts: yue- meh. sucky char honestly. shea- my fav girl, she is a great character don’t judge- sexy and love her personality and love her character design and love how much fanservice she gets lol. panty flash ftw. dragon girl- discount darkness honestly , tho nice design. and mermaid girl- yuck, annoying,  DO NOT like the ‘papa’ trope! (ahem sao.) it’s gross. also just fuck mc’s classmates honestly- paladin dude sucks ass, healer girl OOF that last episode ruined her, samurai girl is ok i guess. hate ai-sensei too like shut UPP annoying ass HOEEEEE (postscript: opening=very epic too)

kanata no astra: plot twist? check. trillion well-done plot twists? check. this was done very well. i am so happy. all those plot twists and turns would usually suck in any regular anime- but this was written with GODLIKE ability. thank you, lerche. legit, this was such an enjoyable ride, i eagerly awaited each new ep! typically i hate space-related stuff but like! survival stuff gets my goat.... like this was good- (tho maybe more technical-stuff in the survival theme would make it so cooler) what shocked me the most: (spoilers alert) didn’t end up hating quitterie or funi. (tho the puppet made me want to strangle smth) luca’s gender had rly confused me but i’d decided on him being a boy- so basically that reveal left me like WHOA. i died. did luca rly have to show emo boy their tity tho... kanata losing his arm gave me the yeeeks, charce being the traitor was made sO WELL into a surprise even tho i’d kinda already suspected him<- like that was just fucking amazing writing there. gj. and ares the princess! ok man! shocked! AND also the whole clone thing, just fucked me right up. up the ass. like there are probably more plot twist layers in this than a fkn ogre has.... anyway shrek aside, yun?’s character arc was very pleasing, i think that was done very well! and the ending made me UwU like BRO? goals tbh. yeah this is a hidden gem and is just so good, so well-written overall. 

cop craft: didn’t have high expectations. i am now,,, quite,,, shocked &,,, blown away. sweetheart this is a good fucking show. so why @ livechart.me DOES IT HAVE 7.40 STARS WHEN FKN ARIFURETA HAS 7.72. can someone explain this to me? i’m outraged. LIVID.  matoba and tilarna were amazing characters btw! loved their dynamic! briefly i thought it might get romantic! nope, it didn’t, so it’s all good. actions scenes were epic, tilarna’s design and outfits were so much nicer than i thought they’d be like. she is so cute. and the op- man, if that is not such a bopper vibe then idk what is. i could watch it forever. it deserves so much more than what it’s got rn.

naka no hito genome: (serious question: is this considered some sort of isekai?) genome gave me btooom vibes honestly but like- this is SO much better than btooom and most game/trap/ kinda shows. fkn BOP of an op, especially the sequence at the end with short clips of each character in action (nutt). paka-san was a good boy and he deserves irl merch. i fell in LOve with all the characters (bubble boy= hot, akatsuki= ok meh actually kinda boring, karin= hot and i want her to punch me, ruromori= beautiful 12/10 would let her stalk me, sleepy eyes boy= baby + dazai vibes and hot af, twin boy= also hot, onigasaki= hot and love him so much, and loli girl= her light grenades got annoying but nice char design) anyways yeah more of this would be epic. i wanna see sakura and her twin reunite, and how they get out basically! also animation quality was very good which is surprising considering it’s a silver link anime.

kono yo no hate de koi wo utau shoujo yu-no: i include the whole title bc this is a good anime. (also livechart.me why 7.27 stars i will fuck you up) only meh part of this is the return to earth from dela granto bc that was like a culture shock and honestly at that point i’d forgotten a lot about what had happened on earth and didn’t care as much. btw, f ayumi and f the other brown-haired oneesan. mio and kanna ftw. obvs i didn’t understand the sayless x takuya thing like dumbass horny teenager . why u gotta creampie the worst girl. u have mio. bruh. (tho mio x ‘oyabi!’ boy is a great ship) also, takuya’s mom? keiko-san? idk if you’ve noticed but that’s literally my name so yeah just glad to finally have some keiko representation. altogether goodass anime. the time travel/ rezero esque reset thing almost got me but this was done well. so no problems. both ops very good. first song was bae, second also bae (just realized it’s by konomi suzuki, one of my waifu idols, so yea nice) and ed2 also so pretty! also yu-no’s design was rly pretty, the outfit colours, and her pigtails rly suited her :)

granbelm: sorry this is the last one lol this was a long ass post! other than the fact i dont rly like mecha this was good.... action, CHARACTER designs aesthetic asf, honestly rly pretty ok. i liked the cast, very diverse and more depth than most shows of this ilk. op was nicely choreographed- especially the part where the girls’ faces are contorted by their gems, showing their magical girl side. nicely done. mangetsu didn’t end up being that bad a char, and honestly? suigetsu is best girl and deserved better. and the ending too- like, bro, that made me kinda sad. some off points: anna’s mom was a little unrealistic as a mom like woman- please learn to control your child, and, white-haired girl’s sister should have played a bigger part, based on how her parts in the opening were emphasized! (quick note- blue girl, love her, great bad guy, when she dumped anna made me so happy honestly, she is beautiful, and i couldn’t actually decide who i wanted to win between her and suigetsu....)

hope u enjoyed this bad review. pls share ur opinions w/ me on some of of these more controversial shows. thank. 

S1 Rewatch: Lena’s Take [1.04]

its technically past midnight aka not rewatch day anymore but ill be DAMNED if i miss a reread day and dont have a chance to ramble abt all of this (and i always have a lot to say)!

favourite scene: either rl and the mistletoe... GOD BLESS BOLD FLIRTY RILEY AND OBLIVIOUS LUCAS.... or the scene where the divas n charlie all go off to the diner, a la farkle. very cute contrast from maya messing w the boys earlier in the ep, a step closer to friends and development for farkle, and serotonin for me because zay and charlie are hanging out (albeit with the two most dramatic, mood killing students aaa has to offer). it also shows that like. despite all the earlier drama and insults, at the end of the day they’ve all got each other’s backs.. they’re all in this together.

favourite performance: you’re a mean one mr grinch. comedy gold, literally right there. im joking when i say maya dismantled the patriarchy with the three words stink, stank, stunk, but like. go off ICON!

favourite character this ep: lucas kinda said im baby!! maya and riley also were really great, maya’s dual roles as warring diva fighting for her spotlight and loving daughter craving her mother’s time really showcase the versatility of her character and make her a very sympathetic character eho is simultaneously an absolute baddie. riley’s here because this ep (read: every ep,) she’s just a helpful sweetie that had never done wrong ever in her life (lucas: i know this and i love you)

favourite line: “take me for a test drive.” oh sweet riley. you are my darling.

an underrated moment: theres a lot this ep and idk if this is really one of them but i want to say that nothing is funnier television than lucas just. stopping mid forkful when riley sits down. its also lovely on a more serious note because it’s the first time we really see anyone have the upper hand with lucas, or get a reaction that isn’t detached cool, annoyance and boredom, or anger. it’s a nice little moment that holds a LOT of lovely rl weight considering she is the first one to really cause a split second of POSITIVE vulnerability

something i missed the first time around: just mentions of charlie avoiding zay, esp at the beginning. made me a touch sad :( zay n charlie please positively interact so i can rewatch u fall in love for a pinch of serotonin.

first impression vs your reread impression: i completely forgot jack and shawn had those sweet brotherly holiday moments!! i hope we get more of them being good bros in s2. anyway i liked this ep both times very much, but staying consistent to my other ep rereads, i think i was able to appreciate it a lot more rereading it!! full of GOOD techie moments (i love it when the loveably dysfunctional family dynamic of the techie crew is highlighted... also for some reason i find myself incredibly attached to jade as a character

--

let me be the first to say that we LOVE that you have lots to say!!! that’s what we’re all ABOUT fam!!! that’s what we want!! we stan!! “because zay and charlie are hanging out (albeit with the two most dramatic, mood killing students aaa has to offer).” WHY DID I LAUGH SO HARD... 

so lucas definitely did say im baby (he is), but your lil mini dissertation about riley having the upper hand with him... whew. whew! yeah! that’s MY serotonin for the day. you’re right you said that completely right... hm guess i will go cry over how much i love them. word up on that!

I've just been struggling so much recently. I'm feeling like crap about myself again and it's late at night where I am and I can't stop crying and I keep thinking that I'm never going to find love ever because I'm ugly and fat and unloveable. Aujau how do I make it better? I'm tired of being tired and I'm tired of being sad. Please. I just want to go to bed one night without crying. -r

typically what i do when im crying n feeling bad about myself n how i look is i typically get off social media n just breathe, ALL SOCIAL MEDIA. yeah it can be great but social media can be toxic b so get off it. sometimes i take a shower w water as hot as i can take it. sometimes i go on my laugh tag on here n just laugh. basically the best thing to do in situations like urs is to just treat urself n make urself feel good.

whatever u do, u have to remember that different things work for different ppl so how i deal w bad feelings may be different from what works best for u. u also have to remember that u r a gREAT beautiful n loveable person, no matter what ur mind is telling u. n damnit if u dont think that u r any of those things, fake it till u make it bb. tell urself that u r beautiful n that u r loveable n that ur great n that u deserve the world. n so what if ur fat???? ur size does NOT affect ur beauty in a negative way i need u to know that ok. n damnit u dont fucking need someone to love u, u can love u!!!! ok??? n if u do need someone to love u (theres nothing wrong w that im sure that having someone love u is wonderful) biTCH I LOVE U!!!!! ((((not in a romantic way, in a platonic way js))))(((im sorry if my calling u bitch offended u i dont mean it in a negative sense))) IF U GOT A PET THEY LOVE U!!!!! IM SURE U HAVE FRENS THEY LOVE U TOO!!!!! just remember that ppl love u b!!!! i hope that this helped n u can ALWAYYYYYS come to me if u feel bad again ❤❤✨✨❤
