11.26.22 – All Things Anime for Date Night

I had a late start today. Why? Well, I slept late last night. But then again, why would I sleep early when it’s the weekend? I think I slept at 2 am. Who knows? I’m not really sure. Regardless, I think I still did well chores-wise. Sure I was still somewhat lazy to do stuff but at least I folded my clothes the same day I washed them. I think that’s a vast improvement. I hate doing laundry.

My hun and I did hang out today. I wasn’t sure if will be able to when I woke up this morning since I know he has some cleaning to do. But I’m glad we did. We watched anime today.

Sasaki and Miyano. We finished the anime today. And it is safe to say that my love enjoyed it. He begrudgingly gave it an 8/10 biased rating – just because this is not his genre of preference. He ranked it higher than Yuri on Ice. But he gave it 10/10 unbiased rating – he really thinks that the anime was well done. I was a bit nervous watching this anime with him. Time and time again, I kept saying that this is the best anime I saw this year. But I’m grateful that I did share this with him, and he got to enjoy it too. 

Angels of Death. We are almost done with this anime as well. I honestly thought we would finish it today but no. It’s all good though, we have four episodes left. Hmm, what do I really feel about this anime? I mean, it’s not great. But I do like the “escape room” setup of this anime. It kept me interested enough for me to continue on. The anime almost lost me when Zack and Rachel got to B2, with the priest as the floor master. Oh god, those episodes were just so boring, especially the witch-hunt trial episodes. The anime did get interesting again once they entered B1. And the first thing that I told my hun was “This is Rachel’s floor”. And I am known to watch the openings of anime, and I noticed that it only showed six people. Rachel is a floor master, well that is what I’m alleging anyway. I guess we’ll see if I’m correct. The main issue I have with this anime is the fact that it makes me so uncomfortable at times. Danny’s obsession with Rachel’s eyes got borderline sexual, I didn’t see the need to have this adult on top of this girl. Edward’s voice seemed to be coming from everywhere. Cathy’s torture floor. And that weird romance undertone between Zack and Rachel. I am not a fan of the underlying romance between an adult-looking man and a girl. See that I didn’t mention the priest – it was because I didn’t care about the floor master enough to nitpick.

Ouran High School Host Club. We watched a Halloween episode. My hun was definitely enjoying the character development for the Hitachin twins. I mean they have a more flushed-out background, and the anime showed more character development for them, at least from the episodes that we watched. Kaoru especially has a bit more understanding and a bit more perspective on how his relationship with Hikaru will change if Hikaru decides to move forward without him, especially now that they opened their world a lot more to let people in. So far, we have only heard snippets of Tamaki’s life. The anime has not given him a background episode. Any information about him was relayed by the other members of the host club.

I’m planning on creating some yearly tracker pages for my reading journal before I sleep. And then read after. Not planning on taking too much time creating the pages but I just want to add more before I go to bed. I do want to read though. I borrowed an audiobook of Bridgerton from Libby. We’ll see if I like the narrator. So planning on listening to that while doing my yearly pages. Am I also taking advantage that it’s Saturday night? Of course!
