Today has been really chilly again. Not snowing though, just rainy. Which I appreciate, I will always prefer rain over snow any day. Rain over the sun any day. Costco was busy this morning. I replenished my food supply for this month. Sure I spent some significant $$ but hey, I won’t really need to do grocery shopping for weeks so win-win.

I got to hang out with my hun today. We watched some episodes of Moriarty the Patriot and Castlevania, and we started watching The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting. 

I’m glad that my hun continues to enjoy Moriarty the Patriot. This was one of my fave anime this year. It was dark, it was a mystery, and the MC is an antihero. And he will do what it takes to reach his goals. His ideal society, I should say. It’s getting really good.

Now, having watched two seasons of Castlevania, what do I really think? The anime is definitely gory. Well, graphic. I expected the violence. I don’t mind it. What gets me really is the piercing of the eyes and the back slashing. I cannot deal with those. The action sequences were good. I enjoyed them a lot. The trio of Trevor, Adrian, and Sypha was awesome. Sypha was really enjoyable. Such a strong female protagonist. And then you have Carmilla. I understand wanting to create an unlikable antagonist but I think it could have been done better. They could’ve gone with another strong female antagonist. That one was just annoying the shit out of me. I want her to trip and fall on a freaking stake. That would be satisfying.

Since we wanted a slice-of-life anime, we decided to watch The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting. Two episodes in, we enjoyed it. Despite the title, the anime is wholesome. There are some sad moments for sure, but for the most part, the anime is very heartwarming. We will continue watching this one for sure.
