Sayo and Tsugumi’s relationship is so pure: a rant

For starters, let’s start with Sayo’s initial intention of trying out the baking class/cookie class. She wanted to help out her band and make cookies(and Hina but that’s for another day) and she walks in there like the awkward shit she is and she sees... Yukina’s rival band Afterglow’s pianist and what does she do??? She goes up and fucking talks to her. Before, she would have never with her “I’m loyal to this band and this band only” spiel, and silently sat there as this poor girl is trying her best to talk to her. But no, Sayo openly admits to being here for her band, and that she’s new to it and doesn’t know much. Before this, we see her as someone that always knows what she’s doing and when she’s doing it. But now, she’s admitting her weaknesses, if this counts as one, to almost a stranger. As the story goes on, Sayo and Tsugumi start taking, and honestly I think we got to know Sayo more in this story alone than in any other story.

We see by the end that Sayo has become more comfortable with Tsugu. And realizes that she has a lot more in common with her than she anticipated. And as the older girl in this situation, consoles her by putting in personal experiences here and there and letting Tsugu know that yes, she understands exactly what she’s saying and that yes, if she needs anything that Sayo will be there for her. We get to see a different kind of Sayo, maybe softer and more gentle. Well, Tsugu would make anyone that way but seeing Sayo like this is almost a first at that point.

Also an add on, Sayo and Tsugu get grouped together a lot after that. For example, the Japanese server has a Christmas even going on and Tsugu and Sayo have a soft conversation there, they have an area chat at the market, and at Halloween I think they had a conversation there as well.

I know this is way after the event but it came to me and I just read the Christmas conversation and it all came back to me.

This is long, so in a nutshell, SayoTsugu is soft and should be treasured forever.

Spring 2020, What Will I Be Watching

Well, it’s that time again, a new season of anime is upon us. Winter 2020 held a surprising number of gems and the hype for Spring 2020 is strong. So let’s see what catches my interest. 

I’m looking at Livechart.me, sorting by airdate to see what’s starting soonest. 

Ahiru no Sora - Continuing show, this season marks the 3rd of 4 cours. 

Tower of God - So fucking stoked for this show. As soon as I heard the rumor about it getting an anime adaptation, I started reading the webtoon. I binged all 460 chapters in about 2 weeks and can reliably say that it is one of the best stories I’ve read and I could not be more excited about seeing it animated. The first episode aired this past wednesday and despite the pacing being slightly quicker that optimal, it was an excellent start. 

The 8th son? Are you kidding me?  - This one vaguely reminds me of Ascendance of a Bookworm, grown man dies and is reborn into a young child in a medieval setting where they are poor and have to figure out how to survive. I suspect that’s about where the similarities will and it’ll end up being slightly closer to Wiseman’s Grandchild in terms of content. I’m not expecting much from this show, but I like a good trash isekai show as much as the next weeb, so I’ll keep watching. 

kakushigoto - Father/daughter adorableness, Father authors a lewd manga and can’t live with his daughter knowing that so goes to extreme lengths to hide it. The first episode was fantastic and this looks like a fun series. 

Listeners - I’ll admit, I was not expecting the mecha aspect to this. If I didn’t know better i’d almost say this was a Studio Trigger show for all the reminders of Darling in the Franxx this show gives me lol. I hope that the music becomes more a focus as the music was ok, but it definitely wasn’t a big focus this episode. Overall, it’s a decent first impression and I’ll stick with it a while longer. 

Wave, Listen to Me! - Ok, wow. What a first impression this show gives. The cold open was completely out of left field, and the rest was a great introduction Minare Koda. I could listen to her drunken ramblings for many episodes. I’m very much looking forward to this show this season.  

Arte - Cute girl doing art in renaissance Italy. Sold. 

Gal & Dino - So... this show is just not my style. I was interested at first, cute designs, interesting premise, but the mixed media approach is just not for me. Same reason I never got into Pop Team Epic. I couldn’t finish the first episode. 

My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! - This show was pretty entertaining. I got a lot of Average Abilities vibes from this first episode, and seeing how fun that show was, I have a good feeling about this one. 

Sing “Yesterday” for Me - I’m not quite sure how to describe this show. But it’s giving off fantastic vibes. A show about adults, I’m always excited about those kinds of shows. It also has a strong contender for Best Girl and a highly relatable MC. 

Ascendance of a Bookworm S2 - Fuck yeah! This was one of my absolute favorite shows of last year and I’ve been waiting impatiently for the last 3 months for this season. 10/10

Tsugu Tsugumomo - Hot damn, season 2 of Tsugumomo. It’s been 3 years and I never even imagined that we would get a second season. So happy. 

Gleipnir - So, not entirely sure what to think about this show. The first episode was intriguing and what I’ve heard about the source material is that it’ll pick up quick. So I’m looking forward to what this show brings. 

Dropkick on my Devil!! Dash - Speaking of second seasons, a second season of Jashin-chan was a very nice surprise. The first season was a riot and I’m expecting more of the same for this season. 

Fruit’s Basked S2 - I would like to watch this, but I’ve very far behind in S1 and my smart self decided to rewatch ATLA instead of finishing S1, so I’ll catch up eventually. 

Diary of our Days at the Breakwater - Not entirely sure what this will be about but it’s a SoL from Doga Kobo so I’m sure it’ll at least be decent. I could use a nice SoL. 

BNA - Speaking of Studio Trigger, here’s this one. Very excited for it, but hopefully a decent fansub group will pick it up, seeing as it’s in Netflix jail. 

The Millionaire Detective - Balance: UNLIMITED - Cool, another detective show. Hopefully it’ll be interesting. 

No Guns Life S2 - Hell Yeah, season 1 was fantastic and I hope Season 2 lives up. 

OreGairu S3 - Oh shit, another sequel. Dope. 

Appare-Ranman! - I’m looking forward to this show, I saw the PV a while back and it looks like a whole lot of fun. Also it’s a P.A. Works shows, so that’s always a good sign. 

Food Wars S5 - I absolutely love this show, but the word on the street is that this upcoming storyline is hot garbage, so I’m not sure whether I’ll watch this or not. 

Kaguya-Sama S2 - The quick S2 announcement was a pleasant surprise, and I’m very much looking forward to more of these dorks’ antics. 

SAO: Alicization Part 2 - Part 1 was actually really good and the anticipation for part 2 is quite high, I’m excited. 

So as far as I’m aware that’s all that’s showing in Spring 2020. Re:Zero S2 was supposed to air, but the Covid-19 issues are pushing it back to summer. Hopefully nothing else will be too adversely affected. 

So my totals are, 15 guaranteed watch, 7 most likely, 22 total. About the same as last season, but I dropped 3 last season. I’ll give most of these the 3 ep test before reporting back here on what I find to be worth keeping up with. 

Until then, keep watching anime!
