You know, I am so mad that I have to go back to work tomorrow. I just really don’t want to go to work is what I’m saying.

Anyway, today is another lazy day. I dilly-dallied the whole day. Or at least that’s what I thought I did. I woke up late-ish. Not too bad though. But it was still after 7 AM, which was fine. I had n pressing plans today. 

I did hang out with my love today. And we watched some anime episodes.

Tokyo Ghoul. We watched five episodes, finishing up the second season. This season was definitely less intense than the first season. The Kaneki torture episodes were still ingrained in my brain, trust me. The season was not dull by any means but mellow. Not slow, mellow. The season was more focused on characters this time. Backstories. Character development. And the like. So I understand why it needed to be less action-packed. We got introduced to new characters, which I am interested in. This anime, for sure, is incredible in showing struggling characters. Seeing Kaneki’s internal struggle will always be powerful. Seeing Juuzou Suzuya not give up on fighting the one-eyed owl. The Shuu Tsukiyama breakdown scene was also excellent. Nothing is more powerful than a normally composed character being so distraught trying to stop Kaneki from joining the fight between the doves and Anteiku. I’m still debating if Touka Kirishima was even necessary for this anime. I mean, I’m pretty sure that there is something that I’m missing, but I just do not like her. The budding romance between Kotaro Amon and Akira Mado is unnecessary. Bleh. Not sure why anime do this. Having a romance subplot when it’s not needed. However, it did not distract from the main story and it’s not as in your face so I’m not going to complain about it as much. We also got introduced to Kishou Arima, I am intrigued by this character. I mean, this one just came out of nowhere and started hammering on the one-eyed owl. My hun thinks it’s because he wears glasses. I did not deny it. 

Haikyu!! I have nothing much to say about this. By this time, I think I made it clear how much I love this sports anime. The Karasuno team’s drive to be better is amazing. They know they will be coming into the competition at a disadvantage but they are working hard to train skills that they are lacking. I love them. This anime is just so wholesome. And the fact that these characters show character development in every episode – granted this is more shown on Hinata and Kageyama – is amazing. They are so fluid and adjust to what is thrown at them. I really enjoyed the practice match between Karasuno and Nekoma was amazing. I liked how Nekoma – despite not having “geniuses” on their team – was able to showcase the fact that they work as a team, and are strong as a team. Especially now that the players on the court for Nekoma are not new players compared to Karasuno who has three new players in their lineup. But yeah, we love this anime.

We did not watch The Case Study of Vanitas today. I think I’m going to put that one on hold for now. Maybe even drop it at this point. We shall see though, I am still on defense, to be honest. I cannot seem to decide right now. I am still enjoying Vanitas and Noe and I want to see more character development from them. But the freaking fluff is too distracting.
