Shojo Logs

Maomao without a doubt in my mind is my favorite character in the show.Her intelligence and clearly neurodivergent tendamcies and hyperfixations add a level of endearment I usually don't feel for characters I haven't been watching for long.I don't like to toot my own horn (toot toot!) but she reminds me a lot of myself when I have a subject matter I am focued on (Also on the fact that she deftly ignores anyone's advances to her by overanalysing so that she can't be seen actually fall in love with someone)Her and Jinshi's relationship blossoms beautifully and I can't wait to see what's instore for her.

I watched the first season with my cousin and I wasn't expecting to be as hooked to it as I was.I especially love the gimmick with the dwarf being the main form of fan service. and how diverse the cast is not just in skin types but also body types.It was interesting also to see the worldbuilding cause as I said I'm new to this not true to this. I can't wait for season 2. Its not usually my style but I enjoyed it.

Despite how problematic the characters can seem to be, Haruhi,the main protagonist who finds herself cosplaying as a dude for the sake of paying off her debts is one of the very liberal voices of reason throughout the show.Also,the rules are don't expect a season two,accept what little you've gained from the show and give up, Seriously just give up and read the manga its just as interesting I promise.Her and and the boys progression in the story is so enjoyabe and complex particularly with the twins and I feel like all the characters were well fleshed out.I think I've watched it a million times and it has never made me giggle less each time.

Momo...oh my dear momo,you don't deserve anyone who was around you but to be fair you were also incredibly stupid at times.What do you mean that the girl that has decieved you this entire time is actually...deceiving you again? OH THE HORROR. I can't possibly imagine.Genuinely watch it if you are immune to ragebait.I know I'm not.

I think the only reason I watched the show was for the art style and I felt like momo represented me so well.I also have a sort of exterior that many assume that I'm some sort of tough girl but in reality I'm just extremely socially anxious.She has been in my fashion mood board since foever and maybe this year I'll finally make the leap from being basically on default and actually customising my character.

NANA follows two women with the same name through their early twenties with the narrator being one of the women from the present timeline reminiscing about her dear friend.Nana.It is ..just gut wrenching and beautifully executed.The uncertanity of young adults the mistakes that may or may not impact their lives forever.How even normal people can be cruel to the people around them,leaving scars that may never fade.I loved NANA. Another unfortunate rule about NANA.I think the manga ending is anything we will ever get from the series.I don't expect a reboot,a sequel none of that.I'm simply content with what we have been able to have despite how stomach turning it may feel.

Synopsis: Poor girl is school president,poor girl also works in a maid cafe across her neighbourhood cause she doesn't want anyone to find out.Main guy and a few other dudes find out.Shenanigans ensue.Its fun.I mean if you want to turn your brain off for a bit and simply bask in mediocrity then this show is golden (Also inspite of the negative perceptions of mediocrity I truly mean it to decribe how average it is) It also isin't the most progressive so if you're turned off by that then the show isin't for you.

I can't lie,I enjoy anything romantic and this anime had everything I needed and it doesn't help that the main girl is absolutely adorable and the main lead is not only hot but also incredibly forward.That said,As much as the plot is intruiging it is not a groundbreaking series in the romance genre.It has all your quintessensial tropes while also ensuring that it remains adorable so if you're looking for something fresh and exciting this isin't for you but if you're looking for something comforting to watch while working or just need a bit more promise in your dating life before once again succumbing to the soul sucking dating apps then this is for you.

Yeah that's basically the gist in it.My favourite part is when he basically admits to being born biologically a male but realising the misogyny afront in the world basically turns to a boy to deal with less issues which 1. Real and 2.ALLY! He is genuinely one of my top ten favourite anime characters and I look at him fondly,as though he is a grumpy cat who occasionally seeks comfort at my feet.

Its again not very groudbreaking in terms of plot and plot development but it was incredibly cute and I am a sucker for anything that involves cute romance shenanigans.I also remember having the fattest crush on the green haired women (I love strict women who are incredibly skilled at their jobs!) and found the characters have their own unique charm to them.

Uraamichi himself is relatively tall,attractive and has a decent job and still can't get laid?It's over for the rest of us its actually never been as over as it is now.But the fact that he can't get some isin't even the butt of the joke.Its that he is constantly being told to do the most within the show.I was cackling so hard when I watched this show that my grandma thought I was either going mad or on weed.Like it is so hilarious you actually need to watch this show and read the manga cause the second season aint coming

I liked the show mostly because it does show a day in the life of an office worker in cooperate japan and how god-awful it really is not just tehre but EVERYWHERE.Not only that I also enjoy Retsuko's day to day struggles from finding a potential parter,to her job to even struggling to move ahead.As I have recently joined the cooperate workforce I cannot tell you how depressing it is and how a work life balance is so hard to maintain when you physically just cannot deal with another day.But the plot and the romance and her growt is not only super intresting but incredibly motivational.

Tomoe is so hot my goodness I was sqealing when he first appeared on my screen.This series is one of my comfort shows for one reason only,its captivating.The art style,the plot, is so y2k in the best way possible.I have very little to say about it except just grab your favourite snacks and watch the first three episodes then you'll know how enjoyable it really is.

The romance is heartbreaking and is filled with a lot of angst however I believe that it is a glimpse into not only how Japan's society works but also one of the most instresting ways in how a formerly patriachial society transitions to matriachial and what social norms that someone living in a patriachial society would not have realised unless placed in this unique situation.Its amazing how also realistic everything seems to be and it remains one of those shows I recommend to people who want to get into anime but aren't as interested in stereotypical anime they may be suggested

I watched Bungo Stray Dogs cause of the characters (a rarity for me,I am a very plot centric person) especially since they are named after authors.I already have beef with Osamu Dazai personally but I was looking forward to see how these characters will esensially be morphed and live up to their names and...It was ayt I guess.I watched this in late 2022 and reached season 3, I believe and I still do plan to rewatch it but time to me isin't what matters most to me rather it is if the plot retained even in my head and based on my recollection.Nothing stuck so I don't think the plot was gripping honestly.

The only plot point I can remember is a man with money...so ....yeah .I'll rewatch it and maybe rethink my choices but for now thats a no.

I'm a sucker for stories written by artists about art.I'm not very good at it but I enjoy studying it and my friend who is an artist constantly invites me to art gatherings with other artists and exhibitions and I guess I know now enough about art that I can discuss elementary aspects of it anyway the point is I love art and I loved this series.It's like a love letter to art.I feel like when artists write or talk about their art its almost like a soliloquy.The art style is also refreshing while been melanchonic in a way which I think is beautiful.The point is.I enjoyed it, ALOT.

Carole and Tuesday act 1 was the most interesting to me in comparison to act 2 but I still enjoyed both very much.I think seeing the underdogs try and fight in a world dominated by AI (damn who wrote this,they should show me the lottery ticket I need to buy).But this doesn't mean other artists exclusively use AI but rather use it in tandem with their own set of skills.The show is a fun and heavy hearted one that does have a level of finality when you watch the end.I loved it.I am still the only superfan of the Carole and Tuesday fanclub so please watch it.

This is usually the show that is recommended by dudebros who are pseudo intellectual but if you don't interact with the fanbase I believe you are going to have a FANTASTIC TIME watching this show.I think Faye has got to be my favourite on the show both because of her situation and also because I like hot women,sue me.

I was constantly telling her in my head after the end of every episode "That nigga don't deserve you."Cause she's bad AF and has to deal with a rusty,crusty,unemployed scammer of a man who people talk about like he's Jesus Christ when at BEST he's semi-charismatic and only two people on the show saw him for who he is throughout and one of them was his CHILD!

Anyways the series gave me a glimpse of LATAM that I had never seen.As much as I had read about LATAM and how diverse it was I didn't realise how true that was till the small glimpse of it I saw.I am unsure of whether the animation matches the scenery but if it does I have to try and find myself touring the continent cause its truly truly beautiful.I also loved the characters and the glow in them.Its always beautiful to see POC characters represented WELL with DEFINING ETHNIC FEATURES and not just a Japanese man who 'APPARENTY' has blonde hair and blue eyes.Really stunning work please watch it.

Food wars is basically hentai with food.Like people cook food so good they get orgasms.And there competitions for it.I'm not even kidding I wish I was but I am not and its almost hilarious if you forget that half the people you see who end up naked are underage.And I hate to be a keyboard warrior but this concept could EASILY fit in a culinary college where EVERYONE is a legal ADULT.

I dropped it after season 4 cause after that food competition I genuinely couldn't bring myself to care any further.

It was boring as hell thats why its getting two stars.The main characters were boring ,the plot was boring and the only thing keeping me from switching it off was the fact that I thought the twelve episode show would get better.It didn't.It never does Ilenya why do you keep torturing yourself?

I didn't know it at the time I was watching it but thinking about how comforting the show was after a tragic life bending incident in my life I viewed Tohru as kinder and more strong willed that I wish I could be at times.It's a heartbreaking show with a carthatic ending.Some relationships are weird cause this is a rebooted y2k show that has weird age gap relationships so I'm just warning you.And also a lot of trigger warnings before you watch this.I'm telling you this cuts really deep and don't go watching it with a heavy heart cause its going to make carrying that heart even heavier.

My favourite character in the show was Chika.Man her personality range is so well done and like she's top ten gfvaourite anime characters.I think she stole the show for me and I mean this in the most literal sense like she's just an incredible character in the show and adds so much life and warmth to the series.I think she managed to captivate everyone's attention cause I believe she is the most popular character of the franchise.

I think it was a fun watch.The scenes lietrally felt like life and death at the time even though you'd categorise them at worst as poor sportmanship behaviour but it was still a fun watch.I especially liked an episode where Rei was coming to terms that the person who he had basically mentored on something was quickly outpacing him in spite of years of effort and yeah?That's really painful to deal with.He's a better man than me. I'm lighting everyone up it'd look like a new year celebration. .Yeah.Thats generally it.Just an average feel good show.

It sounds awful but genuinely its a feel good show that even non anime watchers have watched (mostly because its on netflix.) but its fun,lighthearted and just something to put on after a long hard day of slaving for billionaires or being exploited by the average capitalist.The only reason I'd say its not a 5/5 is bevcause its just not as compelling.I'm not bating my breathe waiting for the next season.It often actually escapes my mind until I see it on my netflix.

I think the animation alone sold me.Man it was so cool to see the vibrant colours.I'm unsure as to whether Netfix Japan has an in house animation team or do they outsource but I think its one of the most unique animation designs I've seen in the industry.Also the plot progression is very intriguing with new details being added to well fleshed characters and the series is just CHEFS KISS.PLEASE PLEASE WATCH THE GREAT PRETENDER.

I'm yapping so much I haven't even gotten to the crux of the plot.The plot is students go to an elite gambling school to learn how to maneover business tactics they would need in the real world which honestly its just capitalists being taught how to be the better scammer:High School Edition.As I have constantly mentioned my pet peeve with anime is when the kids are underage!! Don't show me someone fondling their boobs when their legal age is 16!! Its just WEIRD BRO!

If you can get over that then the plot is good.I'm unsure if season 3 was released or it was cancelled cause netflix duh but you should watch it.

My baby Kotaro does not deserve anything he has been through.Its sickenenly painful what he has ended up going through on his own and how strong willed he is and how he has began to trust the world and the people in it despite the hardships he has had to face oh my days its actually extremely painful and I wouldn't wish on anyone in this planet to undergo the same pain he went through.

I loved loved loved it especially the manga-esque animations which at first I thought I wouldn't but it really grew onto me cause it added a kick to any comedic effects and overdramatised version of things.I believe everyone should watch it so that they can too live in a fantasy where a yakuza man is not mysognistic but takes on women dominated roles in the household cause that's what you're NEVER going to get in reality.

Despite Sherlock Holmes being My Favourte Character of All Time™,he felt a bit flat here.Granted its an adaptation it goes without saying who Sherlock Holmes is but to me he just didn't feel as sherlockian as I wanted him to be.I don't think thats particularly anyone's fault cause I came into the series with an idea of him in my head and the author obviously wanted to steer his character to behave a certain way and creative liberties especially with beloved characters are always fun to see but it didn't just click with me and that's okay.
