My hun and I tried something new today. We cooked together – virtually. We cooked the same dish – almost. We started cooking at the same time and practically finished cooking at the same time. It was different but it was nice. We decided to cook adobo today. I cooked chicken adobo, he cooked pork belly adobo. All I am saying is that it was nice to actually be cooking with him though it was virtually. Next week, I’m debating garlic butter tilapia. But I’m not sure yet.

We did watch some anime today after cooking. We finished the first season of Haikyu!!! We watched three episodes of Bleach, and a couple of episodes of Tokyo Ghoul:re.

Tokyo Ghoul:re. Well, we are dropping this one. Six episodes in and we were just done with it. I do not know what happened in the time-lapse while Kaneki went with the CCG, but he lost his memory and locked away an integral part of himself. My theory is that the loss of memory is the doing of CCG. But that’s just me. Sasaki (Kaneki) is a shell of himself. Sasaki was talking about a huge void or emptiness in him, and I just kept on thinking, no shit – you keep rejecting the biggest part of you. Accept that, and you will be at your strongest. I honestly do not want to talk about this season 3 anymore. It’s not good. 

Bleach. We watched a couple of episodes of the Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc and we got introduced to Kugo Ginjo, who is definitely SUS. I mean he know Ichigo already during the first time they met. He went to where Ichigo works to “look” for Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo’s dad. He also questioned Ichigo if he actually knows his dad at all. Well, we shall see where this arc goes. Ichigo is struggling with the loss of spiritual pressure. Ishida and Inoue feel that there is something dark and ominous surrounding Ichigo. Also, where the heck is Chad?

Haikyu!! Oh my god. This anime is awesome. I cannot stress enough how good the character development is in this anime. Not just with the members of the Karasuno team but with the opposing teams as well. Granted each member of the opposing team did not get their own character arc, but the main ones did. And each team was given the chance to deal with and adapt to each hurdle thrown their way. It was very refreshing. I gave this anime 9 to 9.5 out of 10. It was enjoyable. There were no lulls. The energy of the anime was always up there. The pacing was good. And the last game with Aoba Johsai, I was at the edge of my seat – all six episodes. That episode where Suga subbed for Kageyama was so refreshing! And he was a really good setter as well, knowing his teammates well and their strengths. Kageyama definitely learned a lot in that set while he was watching on the sidelines. I was crying with them as they were eating after the result of the game against Aoba. All I know is that this anime is great and I am excited to continue on.
