What have you been watching/reading this week?
My reminder didn't go off and I didn't realize until today, berate me for being late.
Anyway, what have you been watching/reading this week?
Feel free to talk about something you saw that was cool, something that was bad, ask for recommendations, or anything else you can think of.
If you want to, feel free to find the thing you're talking about and link to its Anilist, MAL, or any other anime/manga database you use!
Some of the memorable shows I watched. Cause I watched a bunch this week that did nothing for me at all, bunch of them were terribly average.
Rec; man this show was great. Would recommend this how 1000%. Just a nice romance that feels really satisfying. Definitely give it a shot if you want a good solid romance.
The Mystic Archives of Dantalian; This show has a bunch of potential, and really felt like it had second cour written all over it. So much build up and characters being introduced, but they never got to use it.
I remember really enjoying Rec years ago and yet that name never seemed to come up again anywhere? I'm not sure if it's somewhat obscure (I doubt it, if I was able to find it) or people just didn't find it memorable.
Finished Violet Evergarden last week, that was enough feels for a while (episode 10 щ(ºДºщ)), it was a really great series.
I mostly watch slice of life and drama, I guess I’m sort of taking a break from that by watching Cowboy Bebop and My Hero Academia.
Cowboy Bebop is awesome, it definitely deserves it’s place as one of the top anime of all time. Everything from the characters to the soundtrack is great.
My Hero Academia is alright so far - not the biggest fan of the characters or the art style, but I’m only two episodes in, so I can’t really judge it accurately yet.
For watching, I'm rewatching Natsume Yuujinchou, I've been slowly working through it for a few months now (I don't watch that frequently), right now I'm on Natusme Yuujinchou Go. It's still one of my favorite anime's, although there's a sharp contrast in animation quality between the earlier seasons and the more recent seasons. For reading, I've been reading Grand Blue, which is very funny, and I highly recommend it, I'm hoping to start the anime once I finish with the manga.
Started:
Cowboy Bepop - Super surprised about how amazingly good it is. Episode one feels developed enough to be a season 3 episode.
The office - watching it yet again
Mort by Terry Pratchett - Just finished this book. It wasn't one of his greatest novels but it was a very interesting perspective on death's life.
Great British Menu -- nice background watching.
