01.19.23 – Yes, I Cry Watching Anime

I got work and all I could think of was, “I want this day to be over about it”. That was all I could think of the whole day. How horrible was that? Anyway, I did some metrics report I needed for a meeting on Monday. I finished that in the morning. The rest of the day, I was just lazy-ing it up. I mean sure, I did some work here and there but I just get so bored about my job that I hate it so much.

Anyway, I also found a reading app – Bookly. I’m trying it for now. I just like the fact that I can just scan the ISBN and it will upload my book and it can track my time reading it. And it can track a lot of other things. But we shall see. So far the only pull for me is the time tracking. And it logs it in real-time so I cannot complain.

My hun and I did watch some anime tonight. It was good. 

Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. This anime is getting really interesting for me. I just really did not like that little girl episode from the beginning. It was just too hard for me to continue on after that. But so far it’s capturing my interest. I would like to where the brothers will go in search of the philosopher’s stone. I love the characters. Armstrong is becoming one of my favorite characters. He is such a teddy bear. The anime is definitely dark but the characters and the way the story is being told make the subject matter palatable.

Bleach: The Lost Substitute Shinigami Arc. I mean, I knew Ginjo was sus. Kenpachi got bored with his “fight”. That was not even a fight. I am excited about the Byakuya-Tsukishima fight. Toshiro is scary. He definitely became harder. And of course, there was a part in the episode where Inoue was doing that inner monologue BS, and I skipped that shit. I was not interested.

Kotaro Lives Alone. We only watched one episode but that episode hit. I mean, this anime is just so good. It pulls on our heartstrings and I love seeing my hun react to the anime. Since I watched this anime not too long ago, I knew what I was getting into. But the anime pretty much pulls the same emotions from me. I laugh, I smile, I tear up, and I cry. If you look at just the thumbnail, the looks like a very unassuming slice-of-life anime. But it takes you somewhere. And all you can do is feel.

I am planning on reading tonight. Going to continue with The Lunatic Cafe for now.
