I know I didn't read this shoujo that long ago, but I sure do miss these sweet characters and wouldn't mind rereading this series again! 🥹

I think Love Me, Love Me Not has been my favorite Io Sakisaka manga so far! Definitely wish I would have read it sooner! 🥰

12 volumes

Licensed by Viz Media

The story centers around Yuna and Akari who have two very different views of love: Yuna is someone who sees love as a dream and Akari is someone who is very realistic about her romance choices. Meanwhile, there are two boys, Kazuomi and Rio, who also have different views of love: Kazuomi’s an airhead and doesn't understand the concept of love while Rio grabs the opportunity when confessed to as long as the girl looks cute.

Dino Watches Anime (Dec 21)

Happy Holidays! I've been spending my winter break watching anime like a loser. Some things never change...

I will be updating some stuff from my previous entry on this list (which was at the beginning of the season I think).

Series (mostly seasonal)

Wandering Son

This anime felt like a manga preview, and I'm not complaining. I just think they left it unfinished. Unfortunately, I don't think we would ever be able to get a continuation with this considering that it was allegedly "not well received" (although winning some awards). Alas, I enjoyed my time watching it and being called out during a few (a lot) of parts regarding puberty and gender identity. Its incredibly slow pace and pastel-like art style were very fitting. I would recommend it, but you do need to be in a certain mood to watch it (as it has very little comedy).

Spy x Family Season 2

Yeah, it's very good. I don't think I liked the tennis arc nearly as much as everyone else, but I still like this season a lot. I feel like everyone is either planning on watching or is watching it, so I won't spend too much time on this one.

Chainsaw Man

I do get the hype. This is a great show, but I honestly think this show is an 8/10. I think a lot of the supposed relatability of the main character is lost on me (aroace). It's a cool world with very interesting characters. The morally gray atmosphere and characters are refreshing to see from a Shonen Jump manga (where friendship is always the answer), and the art is absolutely amazing (yes, even the CG is pretty good). But I think something is missing for me (can't figure out what it is).

Akuyaku Reijou nano de Last Boss wo Kattemimashita

Yeah man, this show is sh*t. I already talked about it at length, but I also gave it a 5.5/10, so I think my friend's comment about me being a clown is incredibly realistic unlike having a structured magic system in this anime. Oh well, I guess if you like Yuichiro Umehara doing ASMR cringy lines, this show will definitely be on your list, but I was shaking my screen and cringing 70% of the time while watching this show.

Cool Doji Danshi

This show made an appearance on my "take" on the portrayal of social anxiety and pretty privilege in anime, but I feel like I'd need to watch it and finish it in a really specific mood where I wouldn't think even puddle-deep.

Pop Team Epic Season 2

That last episode was literally a 19-minute buildup for one punchline that was... alright. Yuuichi Nakamura dubs live-action actor Yuuichi Nakamura. Besides that, the episode doesn't hold any value to people who haven't watched the type of show it's parodying (me). The rest of the show is incredibly niche in terms of humour, but at least this show is aware that it's sh*t. There were a few moments that made me smile and maybe let out a chuckle, but watching Pop Team Epic is pretty much like buying a huge bag of trail mix just for the M&Ms.

Mob Psycho III

This is an absolute masterpiece. I didn't think the show could top the previous season, but here we are. I rated it a 10/10 even if Bones didn't animate a few things (it still felt incredibly cohesive). The only thing that brought it down was the Sakurai scandal, but that isn't any fault of the anime.

Bocchi the Rock!

You know, I really should've watched this before writing that post on social anxiety in anime because "she's just like me fr fr". Despite being over-the-top (this is anime), I find this interpretation, while drawn for comedic value, still incredibly realistic for its subject matter. Not only that, but it's got some good tunes and is like the antithesis to K-On (guys, these shows aren't remotely similar when you look beyond the superficial traits). Anyways, there's an incredibly good video about why it's good on YouTube already. I relate to Bocchi a lot (almost too much), so I'd highly recommend it for that alone, but I wouldn't blame you if you ducked out because she was too relatable. Also, I'd like to give a shoutout to the seiyuu who make this anime so much fun, especially Yoshino Aoyama who made that glitch scream.

Movies

Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare

This movie looked incredibly promising because of its creator, Io Sakisaka, who also wrote Ao Haru Ride. Despite not actually liking the Ao Haru Ride anime, I figured it was definitely worth a shot. What I got was a manga recap that was incredibly rushed and poorly paced (one summer festival lasts maybe 3 minutes before it abruptly changes setting). The character motivations make little sense, and they seem very shallow in terms of development, which makes their relationships feel incredibly half-assed. These things are crucial for shoujo romance anime, which are built on empathy and connections between characters. Although the genre can feel melodramatic at times, when given the proper time and care, the melodrama is far more palatable. However, even if the proper time and care were given, part of the plot is just a common p*rn plot. No joke. They even have the step-sibling trope, which is yikes. Overall, it was a very mediocre movie that did not meet my expectations at all.

Umibe no Etranger

When describing this movie, my friend said it sounded like "a cry for help." That's not inaccurate, and I would be lying if I said that this movie didn't annoy me at times. This movie is incredibly short and fast-paced, and at first, I thought this was caused by a similar issue to the previous entry, but surprisingly, the manga follows a very similar structure and pace. However, there were a few lines that were cut that didn't make sense to exclude (but it doesn't heavily impact the main storyline). The rating system also lied to me calling this PG-13 when there is an explicit scene in there (between two adults). I don't like how they make some BL characters incredibly whiny (especially when we're supposed to believe they're consenting adults). I feel like this movie really lacked proper development and time. The side characters were only given names and maybe one trait each, and I feel like they really could've done more with this story. Alas, the soundtrack was great, which helped elevate it, and the setting (Okinawa) looks great and full of life. There is a sequel manga, but I feel like making this film entailed that we would be more attached to these characters by the end so we would be encouraged to go read the manga.

Summer Ghost

This is another very short movie, and it really ain't that deep. Everything in this movie is predictable. Every single plot twist is like Dora the Explorer and didn't shock me, and ironically, I think they should've closed one of the plots better because it arguably looks like MC did not report something he was supposed to and may have just incriminated himself by putting his hands on evidence that should've been at least shown to eventually be in police possession. Anyways, the soundtrack carries this movie to no end, and the voice acting was also good. This is revealed early on, but MC is not explicitly mentioned to be close to death unlike the other two characters, so his ability to connect with the titular Summer Ghost makes less sense than it needs to.

Eve no Jikan

Technically, this has an ONA and a movie version with both being nearly the same minus a few scenes that should've just been included in the movie version (it would've added less than 10 minutes overall, I think). Because of this, you are kind of required to watch both to get the full story. Some comedic moments in this anime feel out of place since the story tells a tale similar to Hal (another movie about an android). It tells little tidbit tales of androids and how they get along with the humans they have been purchased by. There are a few episodes that stand out to me (4 and 6 of the ONA). It's the best watch out of this category (although that isn't saying a whole lot). It was thought-provoking and had some great voice acting, but I would've really liked a continuation. It felt like a passion project through and through (it's an original with no source material), so if you're interested in human-android relation like the previously mentioned Hal or Plastic Memories, give this package a shot.

Some things as of late:

- I've had a lot of work lately, and there's more to come. This has implied reading a lot, getting anxiety over future travels and feeling like I can't prioritize my personal life right now. I have a lot to talk about with my partner, our trip to plan, and somehow i've been caught up at work. I'm fighting off the feeling of not asking for help (I have to ask for help when I need it) and not being good enough because I can't juggle everything. So I'm stressed a little bit, but he keeps my grounded and says that we still have time t do everything (plus, he's helping a lot). When I'm struggling, I say I love you more often, and I also expect it to having it said more... I become a clingy mess.

- I have been re reading "Omoi omoware furi furare" by Io Sakisaka. Sometimes I tell myself that Ao Haru Ride is my fave work by her, but when I read OOFF, I realize that Akari and Kazuomi have my heart like no other ships in all her works. They were done dirty both in the live action and the animated movie, because they are both complicated, and mature, and they just don't fall in love straight. Their timing is never right, they want to work on themselves before being together... Whenever I'm stressed I read a lot of manga, and this last rereading has me hooked (although I'm about to finish: I'm such an expert at binging a whole manga in a day).

- I received an anon (very polite anon) in my last eremika fic (Did I tell you I decided to finish the story I had in the drafts) and I realized I didn't want to be feeling down for some critique on fanfiction. It's making me feel insecure over my writing, and although I appreciate the opinion, it triggers me in my writing in real life too. Maybe it's because I'm so caught up in work I haven't been writing my og work as much lately. If I come back, maybe slowly, slowly, I'll realize whether it's any good or worth it.

- I bought Levi's shirt at Uniqlo. Sasageyooo sasageyooo ~~~~

[luckycheesefoodie321]

So Fruits Basket 2019 really got the ball rolling huh?

Because we got Kimi ni Todoke releasing season 3, 13 years after S2 ended, and now Honey Lemon Soda is getting adapted into an anime finally?!?! I think even Omoi Omoware Furi Furare got an adaptation. Even Inuyasha got a sequel series! (Idk if it’s considered shoujo tho?)

Obviously we’ve had some fantastic shoujo on the scene e.g. A Sign of Affection, Love is War, Tonikawa, Tomo-chan, Dress-Up Darling, Horimiya, My Happy Marriage etc (many of which similarly getting the ‘finally adapted after fans begged on their knees for long enough’ treatment).

With the era of shoujo adaptations emerging and the genre finally getting a facelift after I would say quite a few years of stagnation as power fantasy shounen and isekai overran the anime landscape, we’re seeing a trend dipping into those late 90s-mid-2000s and slightly into the 2010s shoujo that many look on with both fondness and deep disappointment.

Disappointment mostly bc they were unfinished, clumsily adapted given they were produced with no real regard for how it would end and mostly just to capitalise on the current popularity of that manga at the time, and easy to make a buck off of.

I mean, Maid-sama, OHSHC, Akatsuki no Yona, Fruits Basket, Kimi ni Todoke, Ao Haru Ride, Special A. Some absolute mid-2000s classics. Hastily completed bc they couldn’t wait for the manga to finish and they were never gonna get greenlit for more than a couple of seasons.

So we gently and lovingly leave these shoujo in the past.

Until Fruits Basket 2019 comes SCREECHING onto the scene, in a world of reboots and sequels, declaring WE CAN DO IT TOO!

And they damn well proved it, too.

So now we’re adapting manga the shoujo community has been begging to get adapted for YEARS.

I’m holding out for the absolutely questionable yet lovable Dengeki Daisy, the absolute banger that deserves the crown for best Shoujo Adventure, Akatsuki no Yona.

But.

We all know.

What one I’m truly waiting for.

What we’re all waiting for.

When.

The fuck.

Is.

Ouran

Mother fucking

High school

Host club

Going to get its second life????

WHEN RHE FUCK

It’s about. Damn. Time.

You KNOW the fans are ready. Even the non-fans know.

The day they drop the announcement is the day is a true day of reckoning. They give us OHSHC club, they’ll give us ANYTHING
