#23.3.24

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

I'm going to spend a little more time thinking about this show before I score it. Because I hate the show, right. I think at its absolute best it is a series that actively and aggressively fails to live up to its potential, and at its worst it is an atrociously bad overpowered protagonist lame comedy all around cringe shounen with a shit power system and all around awful writing. And I genuinely don't understand how anyone could like it, like, at all. The overwhelming ability of apparently almost everyone who has ever seen Frieren to just completely see past the things that frustrate me about it bewilders me. I think in general I'm pretty good at putting myself in the headspace of other people to see how they could like a thing, even things I hate, but I just can't do it with Frieren. The problems with this show are so violently obvious and frustrating to me that I fundamentally cannot understand how anybody could possibly enjoy it. I am convinced of my own problems with the show, right. To me it does suck and it is shit and I've been watching anime for almost 10 years now and this type of contemplative melancholy optimism genre is my bread and butter, shows that are like Frieren occupy a good majority of things I've given 10/10 scores to or consider some of my favourite anime. But this one specifically I just don't vibe with whatsoever and think is terrible at almost everything it sets out to do.

But I think for all that, I can't help shake the feeling that I'm being a liiiiiittle bit of a hater. Because the show sucks and pisses me off and whatever else, but I think I'm less mad at the show itself and more mad at the fact that massive swathes of people are convinced that anime is saved or something because of Frieren, it's so the best thing ever that it's sitting at a 9.37 on MAL right now, a score so ludicrously high that anything being scored with it would feel excessive. Everybody loves it, everybody thinks it's great, and I'm mad at them for not seeing the absolute shitshow that I see. And this problem I have I think has been amplified recently by just some tweets I've seen, of Frieren's fans accusing people that don't like the show of just, well, all sorts of bullshit, you know? If you don't like Frieren you are; a hater, a moronic shounen fan, a zoomer with a tiktok attention span, incapable of paying attention to anything slow or conemplative in any way, and just plain wrong and stupid. There is a sincere lack of willingness to engage with the idea that anyone could earnestly dislike the show for a variety of reasons, and it sucks. It's even worse because now that it's the top rated anime on MAL if you rate it low it's because you want FMAB to be at the top no matter what and you're just review bombing Frieren because you're a sheep or whatever. It just frustrates me so much that there's no conversation to be had here. You either think Frieren is god's gift to the industry and the best thing to air in the past 5-10 years, or you should make like Aura did and kill yourself. It's shit.

For what it's worth by the way, I get that I am both being a hypocrite as well as overly generalising people. I'm not willing to engage with the idea that Frieren is good, so why should people engage with the idea that it's bad? And all that "hrrr frieren fans are so annoying" is referring to like, ten tweets or something with a couple dozen replies each. I have literally spoken to people that are willing to engage with me about Frieren whom like the show but are more than willing to have a conversation and all that. But you know, it is what it is.

But anyway yeah no back to the scoring thing. Just to reiterate, I hate the show anyway, but I'm more mad at the reception and reaction to the thing. So I feel like if I scored it now I'd give it a 1/10 where my judgement is just absolutely clouded by being annoyed by the fans or whatever. Cause even while watching it I did occasionally find merit, you know? Not even just the production whoring but in the characters we were interacting with and the stories on screen. I think if I give myself more time to reflect I'll at least be able to give the show its due credit. I don't expect to score it higher than like a 4 or something maximum, and maybe I'll spend more time thinking about it and still just give it a 1 anyway, but like, I really do think I should spend a bit more time thinking before I decide anything further, so I mean, yeah. Frieren huh. If it gets any sort of followup I don't think I'll watch, and that way the Frieren tag will be cleansed of my bullshit, and the community can watch in peace. ggs.

Sore tadi langit tampak lebih cerah dibanding hari-hari sebelumnya. Tapi tak sampai setengah jam duduk tiba-tiba berubah warna. Dari yang cerah jadi semuanya basah. Dari yang biru jadi abu-abu. Dari yang berangin lalu berangsur dingin.

Dalam sepersekian jam bahkan bisa saja sepersekian detik, hidup masih menjadi hal paling misteri seperti biasanya. Lajunya tak bisa ditebak akan mengarah kemana. Perihal nafas yang kau lakoni setiap hari saja, kadang kau lupa untuk mengatur ritmenya. Atas segala sesuatu yang tidak aku dan kau ketahui baik buruknya untuk diri kita, mari pasrahkan seluruhnya kepada-Nya.

Tidak semua hal harus serta merta selesai saat dimulai. Tidak semua pertanyaan harus memiliki jawaban yang melegakan. Tidak semua perjuangan selalu berujung sesuai harapan. Kita terlalu terbatas untuk melampaui batas.

Jalanan basah, tanah basah, dedaunan basah, bangku di luar basah, kaca jendela basah. Ramadhan hampir setengah, semoga terambil banyak-banyak hikmah. Sekhusyuknya ibadah dan istiqomah berbenah. Semoga hujan yang turun membawa berkah. Semoga redanya memberi petunjuk untuk melangkah. And I'll always wait for you after the rain!!

Tamako episode 4 today, bit more of a boring one I'd say. The festival is pretty fun but Tamako's sister isn't really a character that's any fun to follow, and most of the episode is about her so.

Soul Writing 23.3.24

What's cooking today?

Much but it's done.

Oh? What's done?

The recall.

Okay. I'm not seeing it around.

Soon.

Yeah. Sure. Anything to watch out for?

You are on the right track with what you're thinking.

That would be a first. So will it be in the news?

Of course.

And what kind of timeline are we looking at? Because when it doesn't happen I need a date to stop caring about it.

Look for it in a week. (Or within a week, or a week to ten days; I'm not sure.)

After that, we'll be going our separate ways if this doesn't pan out.

Understood.

Anything else to share?

No. We're good.

Okay. Later.

Bye.
