02.11.23 – Yes, It is Overrated.

My hun decided to drop Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. And I agreed. I reminded him that he already knows that I think the anime was overrated. We both agreed that the concept was good. The characters were great. But it was one of those anime where some episodes feel like fillers but you cannot skip them because they were part of the story. This made the anime drag. I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I found this anime boring. I wanted to like the anime. This was well-loved, I mean it was mainstream. But this just does not hold up against some shounen anime that I watched and actually enjoyed. My hun and I gave it a fair chance, we watched about 36 episodes, but we also do understand that if the anime is not for you, it’s not for you.

Haikyu!! I cannot give enough praise to this anime. There were no down moments, the anime was really good at keeping its pace. Every episode, I was fired up. I was nervous for them, I was cheering for them, and I wanted them to succeed. One of the things that I appreciate about this anime is the fact that it does not forget the opposing teams. It gives them a chance to adapt to Karasuno. And you see the change in each team during the game and after. And I really like that. It’s easy to just focus on the main characters but no, everyone gets the chance for character development or team development. This anime is just so good. So good.

Souleater. We decided to pick this up since we finished Kotaro Lives Alone. I tried watching this alone before. I think I just got too busy with school and I had to drop it. I did watch some episodes with my love a while back, but I just got really busy with school that I did not get the chance to continue it until now. I did tell him that I will not watch the anime from the start and just pick the episode where I stopped. So hopefully we get to finish this anime this time.
