season 8 is kind of weird so far but the basic concepts it's coming up with are really interesting like "psychiatrist who targets trauma victims and turns them into serial killers" and "Serial Killer Social Sphere" and "Vince Masuka character development"

People act like Shinji was weak and a loser but if I was a lonely 14-year-old boy with psychosexual frustrations and some gayboy showed up to be homoerotic and tell me he loved me I'd let him end the world rather than kill him

and you may say to yourself: "my god! what have i done?" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful wife!" and you may tell yourself: "this is not my beautiful house!" and you may ask yourself: "well, how did i get here?"

idk if i'm just a joyless feminist buzzkill or something but i find the instareels/tiktok trend of joking about "when the workday starts feeling like women fighting for equal work was a mistake" "women in the past fought for equal opportunities and now i have to go in the office when i could be staying home to cook 🙄" so DEEPLY unfunny. leaving aside that housewives work equally hard it's just unpaid, also leaving aside how the idea that women never worked and just tended the home is ahistorical--Women's financial independence is a joke to you? Women being able to choose their own life path instead of being forced to rely on men for survival is funny? Go talk to a woman who couldn't leave her abusive husband because she had no work history and no way of financially supporting herself and I think you'll find it significantly less amusing.

why is no one talking about the fact that in polish dub Wade on their first meeting straight up asks him out for a date?

Okay if you haven't yet, and you have Netflix/Paramount+, consider giving "School Spirits" a chance.

It looks like a silly little cheesy teenage ghosts show, I put it on for background noise, and then got totally engrossed in the mystery. It's VERY well written, very well filmed, the mystery was GREAT and the payoff at the end is also great.

One of the things majorly lacking in shows I've recently tried to watch is that they try to do a twist/reveal at the end that comes out of nowhere. They don't want you to guess what they're doing. This show doesn't do that. This show wants you to guess. They give you seven different mysteries and enough clues to guess (most of) what is going on, so that when you get the final puzzle piece to any given mystery, it feels GREAT.

The story premise is this: a teenager in hs wakes up as a ghost in the hs, and doesn't remember how she died, and with the help of the other ghosts, tries to solve the mystery of her own death.

Simple premise. BEAUTIFULLY executed. Not all of the questions that arise get answered, but the main one (what she doesn't remember) gets solved by the end of the season, leaving the "why/how and what comes next" to be carried to the next season. It does a cliffhanger RIGHT. But now I desperately want to see the second season (which I believe has been approved, so it's a matter of waiting).

So pretty please, if you're looking for something to do and a great, engaging lil mystery to watch, consider! School Spirits!!

i refuse to watch the bleach live action dub because, well, it's a dub and live action dubs are even more insufferable AND rukia's VA is so miscast oh my god what is that tiny little voice she sounds like a my little pony, BUT i fucking love that renji says "looks like i've gone and killed your SWEETHEART" jfkljlfdmgsdmds

UMMMMM ALSO WHILE I WAS WRITING THIS i was wondering what renji actually says here

because he very clearly doesn't say "boyfriend" (kare/shi) and he says "died" instead of killed, and by concentrating very hard (my listening skills in japanese aren't what they used to be) i could actually sus out what he's saying, which i'm pretty sure is:

お前が情注い男を死んだ

(omae ga jou-sosoi otoko wo shinda)

i haven't been able to find if "jou-sosoi [otoko]" is like, an old-timey word for lover, but what it literally translates to is "man you've poured your feelings/passion/love into." :O

and his emphasis on "you" (omae ga, instead of "your" omae no) and "died" (shinda) is like he's saying, "the man you love died because of you."

so it's more like he's saying, you killed the man you love.
