We finished all the anime we were watching in the anime club.

First off, Samurai Champloo, which I liked it a lot more than Cowboy Bebop. These types of episodic anime aren’t too common, which I could appreciate. I also enjoyed the setting and the fact that it had a unique vibe (the uniqueness more than the vibes, although those were cool too). I liked the trio, how they came together and sometimes had their own little adventures, but I never came to care about any of them. I don’t think that’s a huge negative, since they were still fun to follow and the episodic nature kept things interesting, but I suppose I could’ve gotten more attached to the anime if I would’ve gotten more attached to them. The final episode, which is the one we watched today, was cool and a great way to end the series. I wouldn’t go out of my way to recommend the series as a whole, but it’s worth watching.

Next up we finished Jormungand: Perfect Order. Because I decided to pay attention to the anime, I was never bored, although it’s definitely an anime I would’ve dropped before I even picked it up if I would’ve been watching it on my own. Depending on how much I value my time, watching these two seasons weren’t a complete waste. I enjoyed some characters and story lines that were introduced fairly late, and since one of the characters in the main group was Finnish, it was a fun anime to watch with a group of other Finns. HAKKAA PÄÄLLE VALMET! I liked the last 2-3 episodes with Koko revealing her master plan and Jonah finally putting his foot down. The last episode/ending was a little weird, and maybe unsatisfying for some(?), but I think it was fine.

Then we went on to Excel Saga. Ever since we started watching it, people were hyping up the last episode as something so extreme and scandalous it couldn’t be shown on TV (which is true and was a deliberate choice by the production). For some reason I interpreted this as the Japanese audience not getting a conclusion to the story, instead of the final episode being a weird extra following the conclusion that aired. It was honestly a little disappointing. I’ve pretty much forgotten what happened in episode 25 already, and episode 26 wasn’t as crazy as people made it out to be. The added nudity and sex wasn’t interesting at all? It was just there for the sake of being there, and felt out of place for most of the time. It wasn’t over the top enough for a good reaction, or then it was simply gross. I was expecting more violence too, but at least the added bleeding was funny! (What am I typing here?) Despite this, I loved the series itself. I thought it was really funny and I love following series were I have no idea what to expect next. Excel being hyper was the star of the show for me, huge props to her seiyuu Kotono Mitsuishi!

And then finally we finished Sangatsu no Lion, which was a rewatch on my part. It’s such a great series and while some people always skipped it, those who stayed seem to have appreciated it immensely! There’s this trend of anime that we watch in the club getting sequels after we watch them, no matter how old they are, and I’m hoping for 3-gatsu to follow suit, since I NEED MORE!

Things that I love #6

March comes in like a Lion

Or 3-gatsu no lion, how I originally knew it.

Anime series, 2 seasons and 44 episodes... correct me if I am wrong. I watched this series in one of my slumps. It was comforting. And a soft warning, even though if follows the ups and lows of a shogi player, you don't actually need to know how to play shogi to enjoy the show at all.

I tried to find out where could you watch it, but was unsuccessful. Sorry!

What is it about?

At 17 years old, Rei Kiriyama is a proffessional shogi player that lives alone. Existing mostly as a human machine, all he does is practicing shogi, going to class and repeat. Drowning in a deep deression, he is resigned to live what has been served in his life, but life keeps going and small rays of hope keep on sneaking in his reality in the form of three lovely sisters, Akari, Hinata and Momo.

Reasons I like it

The openings and endings are incredible.

The imaginery is astonishing and doesn't get you out of the story. It helps you to understand better the characters and convey their feelings. And they do it with an ample range of different styles.

This one is personal. When I was 10 or so I was bullied at school. I still remember the rage and sadness of it. So, there is a bullying arc at some point. When I finished watching it, I felt relieved. Finally, someone has got it right. Someone has seen and convey what I had lived when I was 10 and I didn't have the words or the maturity to explain it.

top 5 animes?

Okay, soooooooo…

Honest time, but like when it comes to series or anime, it actually takes a while for me to get really invested in a series.

Like if you just tell me a plot to a show, it wouldn’t fully motivate me to actually watch it.

What usually gets me to watch a series is that I found a character within it interesting so I give the series a shot to learn more about it. And like it sometimes becomes my hyperfixation for who knows how long.

Example would be, I was initially interested in Miles Edgeworth in the Ace Attorney series, Goro Akechi in Persona 5, Kaeya in Genshin Impact, Maki Zenin in JJK, Mafuyu in Project Sekai…

(Just ignore the fact that these characters are mostly from games lol)

It’s either through that, or like. Someone introduces me to a series by us watching it together or in the rare occasions in that they recommended a series to me and I trust them that they know my taste/preference.

Ah right. The list.

Ummmmmmmmm…

I’ll just tell ya like the top animes series that I really enjoyed watching/reading.

1. JJK (got super hyperfixated on the series last year, ya can see it in my old art post lol)

2. Paranoia Agent (I love all of Satoshi Kon’s works and this anime is no exception, it’s a really good thriller and like I enjoy how all the characters be flawed people and such)

3. San-gatsu no lion (it’s a really good anime that I watched during my high school years. And I still look back at it fondly, but it’s been a while since I’ve caught up to it)

4. Digimon Tamers (I honestly also like the OG and 02 seasons too, like Ken be my all time Digimon character fav. But like Tamers in general has a wayyyy better plot and better character development)

5. K-On! (Look. I sometimes like some light hearted stuff once in a while too, and like this show be my comfort show when I just wanna see some nice fluff and characters interactions. Oh god. I think now I know why I’ve been obsessed with Project Sekai lately. I mean to be fair Project Sekai tend to dive into more serious topics. K-On be 100% pure soft fluff~)

I have watched other anime in the past before. And I enjoyed them, but like. Not enough for it to change my brain chemistry, ya know?

But yeahhh. That’s all! Thanks for the ask! ^w^/

Ask game if ya guys be curious on asking me anything lol
