02.12.23 – When Fanservice Ruins Potential

Today was lazy for me. I woke up late – by that I mean I overslept. And it was glorious. I did some chores, my regular Sunday chores so that was fine. I have no complaints about that. I just wished sometimes that there could be a weekend where I do not do anything. Just nothing. But that is never going to happen because why? Adulting.

My hun and I cooked again today! It was his turn to choose what dish, and he chose chicken parmesan. Nothing fancy of course. It was pretty easy. I just had to make mine allergy free as I can. I did not use milk, eggs, and regular breadcrumbs. The only thing that I really refused to substitute was the cheese. I cannot do vegan cheese. And not for the lack of trying. It just changes the taste of the dish so drastically that I really do not want to deal with it. Regardless, the finished product on my end was pretty good. And my hun enjoyed what he cooked as well.

Then we watched some anime.

Haikyu!! Running at the risk of sounding like a broken record, this anime is really good. We are on the episodes where Karasuno is playing against Johsai. And oh my goodness – intense. I just like seeing the team come up with a strategy on the spot to counter the other team. And yes, I was at the edge of my seat the whole time we were watching those episodes.

Plunderer. Since my love decided to drop Fullmetal, he decided to try this one out. He did watch the first episode a while back and got uncomfortable. So I told him, I will watch it with him. And yes, the first episode was just – wtf? It was fanservice heavy. Not just the regular big boobs jiggle physics BS. No. There were some unconsented things happening in that episode that made it difficult to watch. But we powered through and watched the second episode. And we both thought that okay – we can deal with this. The second episode was so good. Then the third episode came and it reverted back to freaking in-your-face fanservice. And I had to put a stop to it halfway through the episode. Because why? why? This was disappointing, the premise was good. The heavy fanservice killed it.

Souleater. Still one of the best opening songs I have ever heard. The fight between Blackstar and Mifune was really good. That was a really enjoyable sequence. And I love Mifune. I still do not like Maka. And then there was that disturbing sequence with Medusa taking over the kid.

Chainsaw Man. This has been on my watchlist since it came out. I know it would be violent and quite graphic and I was right. There is definitely some hype around this one and I just hope that it will not be one of those overrated crap. It was a really good episode. So far, the violence was fine. I mean MC was fighting demons so that was to be expected. There was a scene that was a bit difficult to watch, but we are willing to definitely give this one a shot. And we better see Pochita again. He was the goodest of boys.

Disgaea. Cute and funny. Team Rocket was there for some reason. But it was pretty light and a really good last watch after watching Chainsaw Man. I have nothing much to say about this right now. It was a good palate cleanser for sure. I think Laharl is cute. I want a keychain or something.

I do not want to sleep since I do not want to be at work tomorrow. But I would need to – soon. So yes, I will be in bed soon, begrudgingly.
