09.11.22 – Intense Anime was the Drama for Today

Last week was a bit too busy. Anyway, I’m here now. Not going to discuss all the things that happened last week. Let’s just say that it was overwhelming and annoying.

I’m getting ready for my coming trip on Wednesday night. No I have not packed. But I’m slowly collating my stuff for packing. But yes, I am going on a trip to visit my hun on the other side of the country. Finally.

My hun and I didn’t get the chance to hang out yesterday. We chose to do some chores, get some stuff done before I leave in a few days. The air quality was bad. Ash everywhere. And I was struggling because my allergies were bad, and my breathing was labored. I went to H Mart. And then I went to Target. Yeah, I had fun at Target. 

My hun and I did hang out today. We watched a few anime episodes and a couple of episodes of the baking show.

Tokyo Ghoul. We finished the first season. And Kaneki’s character development was amazing. Embracing that he is now a ghoul was definitely a turning point for him. How he got there though was a bit tough to watch. We definitely did not expect how intense this anime actually was. The last few episodes of the season involves Kaneki being tortured by Jason. It was difficult to watch but I also couldn’t look away – why? I have been waiting for a shift in his character and I had a feeling that it would happen during the torture scenes. And I was right. That last fight scene was…yeah. Yep.

Deadman Wonderland. My hun was very hesitant to suggest this one for us to watch because of the intensity of it. But after watching Tokyo Ghoul, he said that maybe we should check it out. The first episode definitely caught me off guard. The massacre was definitely…something. I definitely had some questions. Like how the 14 year old became the scapegoat and why in hell the investigation just jumped on that. My head was spinning because did no one question the logistics of what happened at all? NO ONE. Make it make sense. Anyway, premise is definitely interesting and I can’t wait to meet the other characters with the Branches of Sin ability. I know this is a gladiator-esque death match anime, and I’m all for it. I want to see where this goes.

Great British Bake Off. Episode 2 which was Biscuit Week. And Jamie went home. I personally think that he was not ready for this kind of competitive pressure. I think it’s very different doing something for fun vs if you are competing against a bunch of people with the same hobby. I still love seeing the bakers help each other. I just really find it so refreshing. Granted I have not seen the US version of the show and I have nothing to compare this to, but I feel like the environment between the two would be different. Episode 3 was Bread Week. And Amelia got eliminated. I still think Henry is my favorite but I am struggling to pick my second one. I keep on see-sawing between Alice and maybe Steph. I don’t know. My hun still likes David and Michael.

Tomorrow is a new work week. And my anxiety is definitely triggered. I have a headache, could be a stress headache. My hun and I didn’t make plans to hang out but I know that I will be packing little by little for the next few days.
