Well, it’s been a while. I have been in such a mood lately. Depressive. I was not in a good place. Then include PMS, yeah, it has been a ride.

Anyway, what’s new? I have been applying to different jobs right now. But this job-hunting business is a pain in the butt. And honestly, putting me in such a panic and contributing in my depressive mood.

My hun and I finished a couple of anime – Chainsaw Man and Soul Eater.

Chainsaw Man. Good anime. Enjoyable. The anime is a bit hyped. Not overhyped just enough. As I said, the anime was good. It was not groundbreaking by any means. The animation was definitely one of the best. I loved the fighting animations for sure. The story was fine. It flowed pretty well. I enjoyed Denji for sure. He was such a refreshing MC, especially for this type of anime. His dream was simple – to eat, to have a place to live, to work. At this point in time, he was living that dream. And all he strives, for now, was to keep living that dream – that was his motivation and I respect that. An MC does not need to have some big goals like being the best, revenge, be the boss. His mini goals also fit with his age, 16 years old – to fondle breasts, to experience a kiss. There was nothing wrong with that. The other characters were good too – Aki and his quest to take revenge on the demon who killed his family, Makima and her very scary demonic contract, Himeno and her desire to be with Aki and to move to the private sector with him. I purposefully left out Power. Both my hun and I are still kind of meh with her. I know she was supposed to be a manic pixie dream girl archetype and the fan favorite. But so far, we have not seen any redeeming qualities yet. We shall see. There were definitely some mouth-dropping moments, which pushed us to kind of watched more episodes that one day. However, we were also not left with excitement for the second season. It was more like “Okay, not bad. We will watch the next season when it comes it”. I give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. My hun gave it a 7.5 out of 10.

Soul Eater. Hmmmm, the first parts of the anime was good. I enjoyed it. I was engaged with the anime up until the Kishin was freed by Medusa. Then it went downhill from there, at least for me. Do not get me wrong, there were episodes that I did enjoy. Any Death the Kid episodes were good. That episode where Justin was introduced, and pretty much any episode that he was in made me smile. I am definitely not a fan of Maka. I prefer episodes where she was not shown at all. I love Stein. Those episodes where he was fighting his madness and getting lost in it were haunting. I have some major complaints, why was Medusa alive? She was great up to the point where Stein and Spirit killed her. Only to reveal that she really did not die. WHY? She was so useless after that. Then Arachne got introduced. A villain that was not needed. Again why? Because Medusa was not motherly enough to be able to manipulate the Kishin to her bed? Do not even get me started with the ending. I cannot. Now I understand why it was considered, IS CONSIDERED, as one of the worst endings in anime. I give this anime a 4 out 10.

I still have not been able to read a book. So my half-read books are just sitting on my table. My brain would not let me focus. I have been consuming a lot of webtoons though. That is the only medium my brain is able to process at the moment.
