I don’t think like anyone reads my posts, but if you want rants, crack theories, analysis, or like opinions, just ask.

I’ve watched:

-jjk

-mha

-miraculous ladybug

-apothecary diaries

-Dr. Ramune (I feel like no one watched that. It’s only twelve episodes but it’s good)

-zombie land saga

-fairy tail

-saiki k

-tbhk

-psych

-white collar

-Grimm

-castle

-bungo stray dogs (not all of it though)

-Raven of the inner palace

-undead murder farce

-tomo-chan is a girl

-hell’s paradise

-Oresuki

-mashle

-I’m in love with the villainess

-monthly girls nozaki-kun

-horimiya

-master of killing time

-sasaki and miyano

-love is war

-mlp

-strawberry shortcake (2003-present)

-descendents

-ever after high

-monster high (first gen only)

-Voltron

-pretty much any Disney princess movie

While I haven’t seen one a full way through, I’ve seen multiple episodes of different harem animes and will be able to talk about tropes involved. I probably have watched other shows too, but those are like my high knowledge shows.

Also ask me to explain things more in any of my posts because it’s usually ramblings and I’m aware I can be confusing.

I'm getting teary eyed about Oresuki again because I looked at discussions and the ending of the OVA had way more meaning than I thought... under the cut because spoiler.

When Joro uses the cliche phrase "The Moon is beautiful" to avoid saying I love you, I just thought it was part of the cliche... but it was more than that because it is literally from Pansy's favorite book, which she asked him to read, so there's the extra layer of care he put into picking those words specifically. It also reflects his character because he tends to hide behind a mask he presents towards others, and also to Pansy, who knows Joro's true nature. Aaaaaaaa

Well, since you mentioned your criteria for enjoying a story.....I'd recommend the animes: Oresuki: Are you the only one that really loves me?, Kaguya-sama: Love is war (romance anime parodies that Get It), Princess Tutu (Think Utena or Revue Starlight but with ballet and storybook themes), Madoka Magica, and the Monogatori series (inexplicably has a lot of Vibes in common with Umineko despite not actually having a lot in common)

(sorry for dumping all these recommendations on you)

wow that's kind of a list lol. thanks for the recs! i'll be sure to consider checking some of this out whenever i get the time!

long rant about anime INCOMING. like. so long.

there is something so powerful about nostalgic anime or things from the past. SPECIFICALLY 2000’s to 2010’s ANIME HITS SO DIFFERENT. the stuff theyre putting out now is really a lot of hit or miss, overused troupes, mid writing, same formulaic stuff…. IT GETS BORING.

i have my gripes with harem and isekai and just how boring it gets with each overused troupe, everything is so predictable, and frankly ITS ALSO HOW I FEEL ABOUT SO MUCH SHOUNEN ANIME OUT THESE DAYS. isekai: theres always some weird thing that makes the main character special and overpowered, for some reason lots of big boobied simple characters with no depth, fanservice central, boring boring boring. theres some gems out there like mushoku tensei, slime was pretty good but set the standard and everything else just seems the same, iconic ones like everyone in isekai quartet (ainz, rezero, tanya, etc. u get what i mean) but frankly, theyre really just pumping out some MID garbage. and while i get it: some shows just SUCK but are SO AWESOME that u just enjoy it… but as for me? its just NOT my cup of tea.

then theres harem… oh harem………. its just bad. theres a lot of shows that count as harem that i actually LOVE and enjoy like MakeIne (great show), oresuki, konosuba technically lumfao!, BUT. with like every great show that counts as a harem, theres like 10 other shows that hit the mark completely. and i get it, not every company can come out with ONLY certified bangers,

BUT CMON THE GOLDEN ERA FOR ME IN ANIME WAS SOOOO THE 2000’s AND 2010’s. ESP IN SHOUJO lumfao. LIKE ALL THE MOST ICONIC BEAUTIFUL AMAZING GROUNDBREAKING ANIME WAS CULTIVATED DURING THEN. not every anime was heavily fanserviced with big boobies, not every shoujo was poorly written “hes so big… and he cares for me…!!!”, not every harem was panties in my face (though admittedly many of them were…), men who are main characters had GUY FRIENDS, and maybe even GIRLS WHO ARE ACTUALLY JUST FRIENDS AND NOT LOVE INTERESTS, shows had BACKGROUND CHARACTERS AND MINOR CHARACTERS THAT ARE ACTUALLY INTERESTING.

kaminomi is one of my top fave harem of all time, with technically ohshc being a “reverse harem”, theres just sooo much iconic anime that really cant be beat from the 2000s-2010s era for me.

this is death note era, nana era, ouran era, jjba era, chobits, toradora, kaminomi, little busters, angel beats, code geass, higurashi when they cry, clannad, steins gate, monogatari, hetalia (oh gosh), (late 2010’s-2020’s~soso) ssss.gridman/dynazenon/universe (my goat currently), spice and wolf, engaged to the unidentified, kamisama kiss, naruto and dbz (even tho dbz is like way old and so is jjba but yk.), gintama, not all but a LOT of some of the most iconic ghibli films imo, full metal, my little monster, MADOKA MAGICA, HARUHISUZUMIYA.. LIKE THE LIST GOES ON. ARGUABLY SOME OF THE MOST INFLUENTIAL ANIME OF ALL TIME. EVEN IF I HAVENT SEEN WHAT SOME PEOPLE SAY IS THE GOAT OF ANIME IT PROBABLY AIRED DURING THIS ERA. AND IM NOT EVEN INCLUDING ANY OF MY FAVE ANIME MOVIES SAD AND NOT SAD (besides ghibli)

but do i think there arent any good gems out there right now? oh nah theres a few good ones out rn. but the way its looking. lowkey. i think we’re only gonna be getting mostly mid ones…… like sure the animation quality is fantastic! the overworked animators are doing great, but. some of these shows are just plain dog water. like i cant get through so many of these shows. like yeah jjk is aight, chainsaw man was dubious!!, dandadan is a fun watch, but for SOME REASON. none of these shows hit like freaking early 2000s and early 2010’s anime. like instantly it also hits when there’s like violin and divine ahh soundtrack like DANG!!! YOU DID NOT NEED TO HIT THAT HARD!!! especially madoka magica and kaminomi.

can i just talk about how good kaminomi is too btw. its the only respectful harem i know, keima is actually a main character worth loving with substance more than a character troupe, the girls are so much more than what they look, keima helps them all and ELSIE IS ACTUALLY JUST A SISTER CHARACTER AND NOTHING ELSE. GENUINELY SHE IS JUST ELSIE MY GOAT. and like in toradora each of the characters are ACTUALLY INTERESTING!!!! like taiga and ryuji’s progression, the arcs of minorin and freaking glasses (even tho their arcs may be weakly written, at least they have more depth than most!) and the fact our main character actually has a guy friend and like. not some weird little girl sister character? its refreshing. its so refreshing!!!!!! does toradora count as a harem? lul. like wow!! these characters are people!!!

actual people! not just boobs or overpowered MC who everyone likes for NO REASON!

lowkey, i think they hit it out the park when VNs were being produced in anime. storylines with serious characters and plot, the characters have feelings and goals and so much more emotion. these recent years its a lot of light novels, but so simple. like

they all have one shtick they follow: “in another world without my books” “in another world WITH a cellphone.” “im the only guy who can level up and im overpowered” “i have a useless skill that actually isnt useless at all and im overpowered!” like wow, just how many themes are we exploring this time around. i did like “kumo desuga, nanika?!” a lot but frankly bc it was one of the like first 5 super quirky isekai i’d watched at the time. (and it was super likeable lol)

but like. dude. theres a lot that just really isnt even likeable character wise, story wise, and even like MAIN STORY TITLE wise. rent-a-girlfriend’s MC sucked actual dookie nuts, that one guys love sickness is just “wow! this girls different and not into me… i want her….” rehashed, 7th time loop is really just SO BORING. no substance, mc is overpowered, men are deeply in love with her for no reason besides “shes just sooo different and interesting from other women…. i want her…”

maybe all these are fr just self inserts and feel good media. heres some stuff you said you looooved to eat up but slopped up on your plate! enjoy!!! and…. LOWKEY. PEOPLE DO JUST EAT RHE SLOP. and you can. im just tired of the slop my bro.

admittedly theres slop thats poorly written but just SO ENJOYABLE AND AWESOME THAT ITS JUST SO GOOD. like… the first half of ssss.dynazenon sucked but. THE OTHER HALF AND GRIDMAN UNIVERSE JUST WAS SO AWESOME THE FIGHTING AND KAIJU AND HIKARU MIDORIKAWA (tehe! >.の), even though the loose ends were tied pretty poorly. spoilers but AKANE AND ALEXIS KREB COMING BACK??? OUGHHGHSHS SO GOATED I DONT EVEN CARE THEY WERE SO ENJOYABLE IT WAS AWESOME TO HAVE THEM BACK EVEN IF THIS JAWN DIDNT MAKE SENSE !!!!

for years ive been super into seiyuu, vocaloid, vtubers, even japanese edm, and frankly just consuming whatever other japanese media that i can shoot into my eyeballs, into my retinas, and let hit my eardrums (what a blessing.)

and BOY!!! LET ME TELL YOU THE COMMUNITIES AND RICHNESS OF CERTAIN SHOWS AND FANDOMS IN JAPAN IT WAS TIGHT BACK THEN. shout out Little Busters radio CD (ナツメブラザーズ(21)) and gridman universe drama CDs for opening my eyes. idk why it just hits so different from the stuff everybodies pumpin out. hell, even older seiyuu events. and MAN!!! ECEN THESE JUST HIT DIFFERENT FROM THE 2000’s AND 2010’s. AAAREGHHHH I WISH !!! I WAS BORN A LITTLE BEFORE…. AND GOT TO BE FULLY CONSCIOUS WHEN THESE THINGS HAPPENED…

but. anyways. thats kind of all for now. if i have more to rant about like music, other media, musicals, colin firth, seiyuu like hikaru midorikawa, etc. etc. i probably will do this again or make a part two. but thats all thats on my mind my goats. bye bye

Life Thing Update Words ETC!!!!

Ok the exclamation points are kind of a lie.  I’m just excited for words in general and not necessarily for what the words mean.  

I played in a pug (pick up game) in overwatch for the first time in years.  Somethings have never changed though.  Little to no rules, no one really plays too hard, I off role’d to help my team.  Everyone was nice though and just played the game. 

Been listening to a lot of Fall Out Boy recently and made one of my 10 song playlists for it. 

Been also listening to a lot of Halsey lately (hopeless fountain kingdom). 

Been having a lot of fun times with friends.

They both play Wrecking Ball and I just of just select the hero and roll around.  I thought the picture best described how skillful we are at the hero.  Also its titled “We are children of wrecking ball” which is also the new name of are group chat. 

also my friend said this to me and I laughed extremely hard at it. I think I was talking about how he gets angry at the game sometimes and rage quits lol. 

Worked 2 straight weeks for the first time since I got sick, hurt my shoulder, than got sick again.  So lets go everyone loves money (I hate money actually). 

I finished my rewatch of Toradora.  Finished Tomo-chan Is A Girl, super good show.  Saw Creed 3 awhile ago and never talked about it here, also really good.  Gonna rewatch another romcom soon but I’m not sure if I want to rewatch My Little Monster or Your Lie In April (and cry).  Could always go for a Lovely Complex rewatch. Our Love Has Always Been 10 centimeters Apart wasn’t too bad.  Blue Spring Ride was good.  Oresuki Are you the only one who loves me? was fucking hilarious.  Wish that show got another season.  Its sad that the last season of My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU was so fucking weird.  The animators were like “nah this is the actual best girl” and forgot there was a storyline till like the very last episode.  Shikimori’s Not Just A Cutie was good but its apart of the list of shows I’ve watched but didn’t finish but liked them. I can’t actually do a rewatch of Given because I’ve never finished Given because I get to episode 9 and rewatch it 25 times in a row till I pass out every time. 

I don’t know.  Life is a lot less sad lately.  Been super busy.  But I’ve been ok.  

I going to get a cake at the end of the summer to celebrate 2 years of freedom.  

I’m not sure what else I wanted to write about

I Am My Own Music

So Much (for) Stardust

Flu Game

Fake Out

Are probably my favorite songs off the new Fall Out Boy album. 

Uhh.

Pizza good. 

yeah. 

[plantsandpies]

Oresuki and zombie land saga are popular enough to have a tag. However, I don’t think most people think about how much watching these will forever change every other anime. I haven’t been the same. I’m waiting for the truck every time a character goes across the street or leaves their house. I trust no one.

Oresuki s01 and OVA done

I chanced upon Oresuki by a random Blue Sky post recommending it along with some stuff I already watched.

I wasn't wowed by the first episode because Joro was not a likeable character and I prefer likeable protags. However, I'm glad I stuck through it to see what kind of person he actually was.

In essence, the series pokes fun at Harem anime. The MMC, Joro, wanting to be a romcom protag but actually being a scumbag with a heart of gold hiding behind a good guy persona. The FMC, Pansy, is a glasses girl character but it's a disguise as she is actually hot (tho if you ask me, her glasses form is better) and she's in love with Joro's true personality and actively stalks him.

Other characters follow generic tropes for Harem anime with a twist. The older girl who is prim and proper. Childhood friend. Best friend pseudo rival. Tsundere. The... reporter(?) A girl the protag inadvertently inspires/helps. Hyperactive underclassman. And so on.

The story breaks down and pokes fun at these tropes and the events that often lead to the romantic events, and the gags hit most of the time. The onlu times they missed for me was when I didn't recognize what they were referencing.

The running gaf with the bench has been consistently hilarious to me.

The story felt overly focused on the main cast's issues. That's not necessarily a negative, but I personally prefer the setting to be more fleshed out. You get that they're in a school, there's a library, there's tennis and baseball, and there's a rival school that only really comes to the fore near the end.

The conflicts and twists we get to see were pretty good and compelling. Episode 1 and 2 sets the stage of how this isn't your typical romcom. However, the story does fall into certain tropes in the middle. Like, they sort of stop poking fun of romcoms and just becomes a straightforward one.

I'm glad it only happens once but the threat of SA in an early episode by a primary character left me very uncomfortable I almost dropped it. Although there's also a boobgrab at some point too.

I'd say the main series was a fantastic watch barring the final episode because it was a cliffhanger. I got super mad until I saw the true finale was an OVA.

The OVA is a pretty amazing experience and a good finale. I cried twice near the very end!

The OVA has a lot of moving parts and it's basically a battle of wits and luck between the rival characters.

If you're familiar with Kaiji (which they reference hilariously in an episode) the formula is similar. There's a "simple" game and the players are mean't to bend the rules to get ahead. The final stretch of which got me at the edge of my seat and the conclusion made me bawl.

As for the romance. It's there I guess. The other things that serve the romance felt more important.

In conclusion, this gets a recommend from me IF you can watch the OVA cause that season finale pissed me off!
