oh i just realized that i havent made a post for may so uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh its may

as i am writing this i am finally catching up to hibike by rewatching the first two seasons through the recap movies, literally the one time where it is reasonable to watch a recap movie how crazy

although im like pretty damn sure that the recap movie for season 2 pretty much cut out the entire camp arc like whaaaa, like with the first movie most stuff felt intact even though it was significantly shorter, but woah

yknow to be honest it really isnt hard to like watch anime, its just that like i dont have much reason to start shows nowadays
also this weeks mushoku tensei episode HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS TURNING POINT 3 TIME OH GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

happy april fools day or easter monday if thats your thing

no i still have no idea when the hell im going to actually start watching shows
as much as i would like to rewatch some old shows for their new sequels this coming season, i honestly think im just gonna just watch them, but maybe some sort of recap i have no idea honestly

for now, i suppose you can say i have bigger priorities or whatever, this is just how it is i guess
hopefully by may ill actually have watched some stuff or well caught to previous stuff

oh hey march posting great
no i have no still not watched anything, its actually been like 9 months since i last finished a show to its end

at this point if i ever start coming back to binge stuff like i used to
it'll just happen randomly some day to be honest

though i guess i have to start recapping myself for spring 2024 so maybe i'll start watching stuff soon

oh hey february post
i totally didnt forget to like log in because i havent been watching any shows at all this season
i promise ill catch up like soon or something idk

uhhhhhhhh hey see you in like april probably because actual shows crazy
wait we have the entirety of march to get through still great

MONOGATARI OFF SEASON AND MONSTER SEASON ADAPTIONS ARE REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
but also so soon like this year?????????????
ok back to sleeping on anime i go

happy new year everyone wow its time for the yearly january post aka the month that i got into anime and stuff in 2018 weeeee me watching anime in 2023 will go down as one of the years of all time because i just stopped half way through

anyways i guess my 6th full year of watching anime will soon be over then (although this year barely counts) and i guess we're gonna be starting my 7th year of watching although probably more like following anime stuff

guess i really didnt catch up to anything before new years isnt that great
well whenever i feel the need to make a post then i guess ill make it here

still wondering what ill look into over the course of winter 2024

merry christmas everyone, i havent logged into this account in nearly a month because i still have not watched anything

2023 has really just been that year for me where its like: oh i dont have to watch every single seasonal show ever
its not like i didnt want to watch the shows i do seasonally but its just realizing i dont need to be a seasonal watcher. anyways, this will probably continue until spring 2024 because wow winter 2024 is looking DRY, well for me at least, and then spring 2024 is dropping with like what 5 sequels that im actually hype for

only real things i can see for winter 2024 (with minimal viewing) would be the 2nd half of frieren which i have not started, solo leveling if the adaption is actually good and lives up to the source material somehow, and dungeon meshi maybe because the animation look good or something idk

so yeah currently 1-2 weeks from winter 2024 and 3 shows is all i can foresee me possibly watching
with that being said i should probably start jjk s2 and frieren already because the last show i fully finished was last spring
wait oh yeah the final 3 zom 100 episodes dropped today didnt they i should probably get to that as well

yeah you see the problem now everything just stacks up and up and up, see you in the next year if i remember

oh hey all its december now and i still have not watched a single fall 2023 show yet at all

though i do plan to break this streak by watching frieren because ive seen tidbits of it and it looks really good so uhhhhhhhhhhh i'll post again when that happens probably in january i guess

so how has your day been going

been basically a full day since attack on titan's ending and im really just reflecting on it, spoilers below of course:
so uh i think the ending is actually pretty good now??????????????????? uhhhhhhhhhhh i dont know i kinda respect and like it a lot more now

I'm actually really glad the series ended off on such a memorable yet nihilistic ending.
Like yeah it's quite similar to the Code Geass ending where Lelouch became ruler of the world and then by his plan, died so that the rest of the world and everyone could live without dictatorship. But in AOT, the future of war and destruction continues as seen in the credits.

Now, you could ask questions like, well then whats the point???, but looking more into Eren's character in the finale, we see that he has all of these regrets of not being able to live on with his friends, trying to change the future only for nothing to change, and having to kill nearly the entire world. He calls himself an idiot who has too much power and despite his genocide that he clearly resents as seen in 131, he still decides to go through with it as he knows that this cycle will repeat. From 138 with Mikasa's long dream of what could've been if she had told Eren her feelings, nothing had changed even without the rumbling as one side will always be trying to kill the other as that's just how the world is.

Overall, the nihilism of the ending just fits AOT's world perfectly. While Eren does manage to fulfill his goal of giving his friends the chance to live long lives by getting rid of all titans, their joy is only temporary as history repeats itself years later. Attack on Titan's world was never the sort of world that ever had happy endings, it was a cruel place where any sort of victory would come with the cost of sacrifices, similar to our world. It was a extremely cruel world with glimmers of beauty and I'm glad it stuck to that in the end.

Don't get me wrong, there are many conflictions with this ending. I still do think that the entire last episode that adapted 139 was very rushed and confusing. Like there were just so many better ways to introduce the whole conversation between Eren and Armin and I feel like so much is just inferred as the writing feels off. I really don't know how to put it into words, but just the dialogue between the characters is just "weird" in comparison to how they were right before. And yes, I do know that the anime did change up and add that one line about "meeting in hell" together which definitely does fit much better than the manga. But, this is just how I see the ending now.

I'm not gonna give this a serious score as I really have no idea what to give it but just seeing AOT come to an end is going to be something I hold more dearly over whether or not I think the ending has problems. I'm pretty sure that it's the series that I've been following for the longest ever since I started watching anime in 2018 and I've kind of been falling off of anime lately. But with AOT's ending, I kinda feel like it's time to come back now. While I could go on about other things like how not having to avoid any spoilers anymore is also gonna be really weird and the hellish production that was the entirety of S4 aka the FINAL season, the journey has finally come to its much deserved conclusion. To everyone who helped contribute to the AOT series with MAPPA's production especially, I hope you all get a really long break.

ok i have finished watching the attack on titan final season final chapters episode 2 finale of chapters 135 to 139, but first "semi" confusing ending (please note semi is in quotations) aside:

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII THEY ACTUALLY PUT THE END OVER THE TO BE CONTINUED END CREDITS WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
THIS IS LITERALLY EVERYTHING IVE BEEN ASKING FOR SINCE LIKE 2019 WHAT THE HELL ITS ACTUALLY REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLL


ok "the end" title card aside, uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ok look i already knew that the ending was like controversial and rushed or whatever you want to call it, but i can still definitely see the sort of like reasoning and meaning behind it, even if it was weirdly written and definitely rushed. Wouldn't say the aot ending is bad, but not like great either i guess, more like a smart ending with flaws, quite a few.

monthly posting time for november 2023

slightly late but oh hey that attack on titan thing ends today doesn't it huh
its weird to feel that after these like 4 years of final season "baiting" if you will, that im actually kinda starting to feel that YES THIS IS THE END OF THE STORY, which after experiencing it like 4 times now is kinda weird in retrospect.

lmao NO

oh well crunchyroll release is in 7 hours, incoming website crash, but uh yeah i guess ill make a 2nd post when i watch it or something because ive been posting about the final season ever since part 1 dropped, yes we are at part 4 now.


on the side note, i have started watching literally ZERO shows from fall 2023 and still have not finished spring 2023 stuff. call me burned out or whatever, but i feel i no longer need to watch the seasonal fillings that i usually always do for the past few years now at this point. its not like i dont watch new shows, like if a new high profile show that i KNOW is gonna be good then ill watch it obviously like sequels and what now (i say this and i havent started frieren or jjk s2). thats not to say i dont enjoy a quote un quote "lesser quality show" from time to time, but im kinda lingering with this mood of just not really caring for anything i guess. call it life getting harder or me getting older or something but ill be back to watch stuff i feel the most interested in like mushoku tensei s2 p2 and hibike euphonium s3 and stuff like that yknow. well this has gone on way to long for a monthly post so uhhhhhhhhhhhh see you in whenever i watch the finale

also how the hell is linked horizon doing the opening where the hell did they just disappear to for like 4 years

hello hi yes its me again for the monthly october post and late by one day
havent really been watching/reading anything well apart from like zom and mt but i already knew i was gonna like them

kinda feels like im at a point where i can just stop watching shows even though theres still like a billion things i havent watched
maybe ill come back to actually watching anime in a few months i dont know it might just be one of those fake burnout things

also if you cant tell already by my anime history, ive become a hoyoverse game addict like who actually lists nu wushen de canzhuo s1 AND s2 its like man i love cooking with valkyries i cant believe they adapted all of the manga
maybe when the yuanshan genshin anime comes out ill come back for real but we dont even know what the hell the long term project is anyways like all we actually know is ufotable and its an animated series
