01.10.23 – When an Anime Ruins the First Episode with that Last Scene

Work was again annoying. There will always be that customer who likes to demand exceptions OR ELSE they will take their business elsewhere. I hate them. And of course, our company cannot afford to lose any clients right now. So, what does that mean for my team? Yay flag more shit and do more manual work for this one account. An account that has so many exceptions already that I cannot even add any more notes in their parent account info section because it’s out of space. Other than this big fiasco, nothing else happened that got me annoyed.

My hun and I were able to hang out tonight, which was nice. We did watch some episodes of some anime – no surprise there.

Bleach – The Lost Shinigami Arc. So far, not much action going on but there is some kind of mystery going on. I mean what is this group called xcution? I mean why are Ichigo’s friends getting targeted? Or are they really getting targeted? Or is it just a ploy for Ichigo to feel helpless? To tempt him to get his soul reaper powers back? Hmmm. I do appreciate the explanation regarding the Fullbrings. That was a very interesting concept – all objects have souls and a human can control those souls to make them useful to the human controlling/wielding them. I mean, in a way, it makes sense. Zanpakutos have souls. And if a soul reaper bonds with the soul in a zanpakuto, both the reaper and the sword become powerful together.

Darwin’s Game. Interesting premise. I do not mind the violence too much. It is the nature of the game. Kill or be killed. First annoying scene: Friend says to not touch the app before he can explain what the game is. Touch the app and open it in the subway. Second annoying scene: The ending of the first episode. What the fuck was that? Guy collapses in the last fight. Then he wakes up on a bed with a naked girl on top of him. She says “Let’s make a family”. My hun confidently said before that scene that “no way he will wake up with a naked girl next to him”. And after the first episode, my first thought was “why does anime do this?” The premise is good and then you will give me an unnecessary panel. I mean, I am still willing to watch a couple of episodes. But if I get more BS like that, we shall see.

The Way of the Househusband. This is a rewatch for me. I told my hun that this is a panel anime. The animation is not something that we had watched. He was surprised by how random the anime is. He says the randomness makes sense, it’s daily life randomness. He says he is willing to continue for now.

Planning on reading before sleeping tonight. I plan on continuing with Circus of the Damned. I started reading it earlier while waiting for my hun to be ready to hang out. I’m also planning Heaven Official’s Blessing Book 1. I have been eyeing it lately.
