Estaba la pájara pinta, a la sombra del verde limón…

Con el pico picaba la fruta, con las alas recoge la flor.

Si,una bonita canción popular para empezar este post. (obvio la escuché en los Simpson primero)  Bueno, me estaba bañando y así como el agua me caía en la cabeza, de mi cabeza llovían cosas que quería expresar. Helas aquí.

Ya saben, apenas va un día desde que deje de contar calorías y ponerle números a mi bienestar, parece que fueran 10 años, no puedo describir la inmensa alegría de “poder” y lo pongo entre comillas, porque siempre pude, pero no me permitía, el decir “uff ya estoy bien” y dejar un poco de la comida en el plato, además noto que disfruto todo como si fuera la primera vez, tengan en cuenta que ingresaba los “datos” de mi comida diario, varias veces al día por al menos 3 años. Es como agarrar una cadena, con 5 candados y quitártela del cuello.  He tenido menos antojos,es decir, no NECESITO llenar nada con un montón de azúcar o nada por el estilo, he tenido antojo por decir de jitomate, cosas así jajaja, es hermoso.

Ahora, aparte de eso, yo ya había empezado mi metamorfosis ( ¡Hola Kafka!) hace unos…5 años, si, que fui a terapia (Ara hermosa bombona bebé <3) y empecé a integrar mi ser, pero este año, no sé si los astros están en una posición muy particular o que pasa, pero desde Enero, pum, pum, cambio tras cambio.

De Noviembre a Febrero aprendí a darle chance a mi cuerpo, a escucharlo, a hacer ejercicio por el mero placer de poder hacerlo, a felicitarme por aquellas cosas que nunca me habían parecido “suficientemente buenas”, a dejar de perseguir números, logros, que eran de otros, mi mayor logro físico hoy día, es estar en unión con mi envase/cuerpo y cuidarlo lo mejor posible. Y si un día me chingo un dulce o algo así, también lo hago, con conciencia, sin culpa y no por usarlo como curita.

En un grupo de Facebook en el que estoy  ( si les causa interés, busquen “Araceli Castro Espiritualidad, mente y emociones” compartimos libros, videos, Ara tiene un live stream cada jueves, en fin, echen ojo)  hicieron un tipo “reto” donde hacemos X cosas de una lista, bueno, no les voy a echar todo el choro de eso, si quieren chequen pero la cosa es que, una cosa lleva a otra, como dice una canción. No les digo que recojo cada basura que veo, pero si me nace, levantarlo, ponerla en su lugar,  ver a algunas personas que pasa junto a mí y de todo corazón desearles felicidad en sus vidas, pensé que nunca le entraría a la meditación, y ahora es entre 2 y 4 veces al día.

Todo esto me imagino que ha abierto más mi corazón de melón, pues también junte bastante ropa que todavía tenía en mi casa sólo por tenerla, esto para donación , vaya que me ha surgido como esta cosquilla de compartir, si yo me siento tan bien, tan feliz, tan plena, quiero que otros se sientan igual, tampoco había sentido esto tan fuertemente en mi vida, les digo que este año es una chulada.

Aún me enojo a veces, aún juzgo, pero en una escala de antes que era un “Juzgonometro” del 1 al 10, estaba en el 20 yo, ahora estoy como en 1, me fijo más en las pequeñas cosas, agradezco que tengo agua limpia  y ropa para bañarme, que mis dientes son sanos cuando los cepillo, en fin, tengo la vida que nunca siquiera soñé que podría tener y sigue mejorando más y más,  también leo más, yo de peque era una máquina lectora,lo fui dejando un poco con el tiempo, pero miren, ahora lo he retomado y el cocinar (no, casi no cocinaba porque era más difícil de registrar en la app, o sea ¿ven el grado de limitación en el que yo misma me tenía?). Ora si mi vida es mía para mí.

Si tú piensas que nunca vas a poder cambiar, o ser feliz, yo hoy te digo que si se puede, un momento mágico pasa, a mi me pasó que ya no podía más, mi alma me dijó “Mira Nancy o hacemos algo o hacemos algo”, dejé ir muchas cosas, me abrí a todo, sin sujetarme a nada, fui a terapia, leí y leo más, de verdad espero que compartir un poco de mí ponga un granito de arena en la playa de alguien más.

Ah, otro “ejercicio” que he estado haciendo es el de conocer a Nancy, o sea yo, ¿qué tipo de música me gusta, cual no, que ropa, etc” sin juzgar y sobre todo sin pensar “esto no me debería gustar por X razón o esto si por otra X razón” es muy que muy divertido hacer esto.

Ahh y como tengo espacio de sobra en mi cel, me bajé apps para ver que si la fase de la luna, que si mudras (como yoga para las manos) que si magia con velas, estoy agarrando toda esa energía mental y física que tengo renovada para ponerla en donde está mi corazón.

Game of Thrones season 8 A review-ish

This is not an in-depth review nor is it really objective, I am not a hardcore fan, I am still reading the books (on the second one) and I started watched the series before season 6, I binge-watched the 5 previous seasons in less than 2 weeks, so of course I don’t have this enormous feeling of dismay as some may have, but I can still be annoyed nonetheless!

With this said, beware of spoilers of course, all of them. I apologize for misspelling any name.

spoilers

And yet again

SPOILER WARNING!!!

______________________________________________________________

 

 

Ok,like I said I won’t make a full review, cos ain’t nobody got time for that, I was hyped, as most people, for this season, the season when it all comes together…this very climatic fulfilling destiny time for Jon,Dany, everyone…

Or so I thought, first of all, after been waiting for so long for the epic battle against the white walkers, the night king…I expected Jon to kick serious ass, (the dragons battling was good,I will admit it) or Dany to just blow everything up (Dany, y u no unleashed destructive power HERE dammit) ,but no, we have an ok battle, the big moment of redemption for Theon Greyjoy (thanks for that) and the final match, Night king vs Bran Stark/3 eyed raven whatever…they going to…stare! Just stare at each other…until a flying squirrel, I mean, a skillful assassin, Arya, just jumps from behind,he grabs her but hey, she’s Arya Stark dammit, she uses this little trick and kills him. That’s it. Years of hype for this…even Melisandre did more than Danny and her 2 dragons, she set on fire the weapons of the dothraki AND lit the trench thing. The way she went out was also good, it was her own choice dammit.

Ok..fine, but there’s more to come right, Cersei vs everyone final showdown! First of all…Euron,fucking Euron Greyjoy, he kills poor Rhaegal on the previous episode, in that attack they shoot a lot of heavy ass arrows, but then, Dany watched how to train your dragon or some shit cos she is doing these awesome tricks, just sliding,gliding, she’s an ace dragon rider now! It also helps the iron fleet shot ONE freaking arrow, ONE, they didn’t seem to have all of them ready (cocky, just stupid or both?) The good thing is the dragon fries the damn iron fleet.

And the other scorpions? Ah yeah,they there,all pretty and obviously not ready, or damn Drogon learnt to fly faster cos it was all ashes and crispy soldiers by when they shot “Fire!”,well fire they got for sure! Now, why on earth the same dragon’s fire can crisp people, just crisp them,but also blow up solid rock ? Does it have different intensities??

Anyway, the fight goes on, moments of tension,Cersei is up in her castle looking all confident cersei-reg

 

Until her Hand (Qburn?) tells her “Yo,dem scorpions destroyed..” then her face is

4b5e2077fe7c14e9-600x338

Lol, I liked that, I mean, she has been a main antagonist for a long time, she’s got some epic showdown coming…what will it be? an old prophecy told by a mysterious witch/woman in a crappy tent,dragon’s fire, Arya,Dany,a Lannister bro?

Nope, fucking debris, the damn Red Keep collapsing on her,OH no,not her alone, fucking Jaime Lannister dumped Brianne, went to King’s landing and went to find Cersei, of course captured but released by Tyrion, so he’s going on the secret passage,who does he run into? EURON FUCKING GREYJOY ,he was just around a rock, how much did he fucking swim? So Euron wants to fight Jaime cos, reasons, he stabs him real good but of course having a gold hand has to be useful so Jaime has the last blow,he is still good enough to go ALL the way to where Cersei is,cos why not? they go to the bottom of the building, see no escape, hold each other and then debris kills them…COME ON, they both had awesome characters..they deserved better.

Ok so we move onto the taking of the city, Jon, Sir Davos and Greyworm are facing the Lannister soldiers, they hear the dragon and drop their swords, cos that’s the thing to do dammit! so Jon is relieved and takes a deep breath, we have the most suspenseful moment in this season (for me) while we watch Dany going wacko, I mean, waiting for them bells to ring or not..

maxresdefault

When we saw this face,I was thinking “oh no” she just went straight for the red keep, which was ok but,no, let’s burn these innocent people and these soldiers that already surrendered, cos dracarys! We all in shock, then Arya drops her lifelong quest to kill Cersei, just with few words from the Hound, so he goes and has his final fight with his brother, an ok fight. Cersei leaves in a sorta amusing way,like “ok passing through bye, yeah excuse me” and keeps walking.

Dany had more destructive power with one single dragon than she ever had with 3? Ok

Arya…she escapes death 100 times and survives quite well, then she finds the freaking horse, which was mounted by a golden company dude ( the poor golden company, so hyped and they just got burnt) ,a white horse nonetheless (is it you? Shadowfax?) she climbs him and goes away…

NOW FOR THE VERY LAST EPISODE 

I even went to a bar to watch this with friends, we all were expecting something,well I wasn’t expecting much, the place was crowded, the ambience was great. Glad I had some beers for it haha.

The episode begins, let me tell you, the tension was well handled, maybe a bit too long tho, I had to hold my pee for a long time,so Tyrion looks for the dead bodies (hoping they are alive?) of the Lannister twins, and sure enough, they lay, dead , under the FUCKING DEBRIS ,this is emotional, all good. Also good idea not to make them be miraculously alive, or hair would had flew off my head!

Dany’s speech OMG, I was still kinda hoping she’d be like “Whelp,that went wrong but from now on things will be good” but the moment this shot was screening, I knew it, she was full on tyrant herself, even if she truly, legit thought she was “liberating” people,also kudos for her giving her speech in those languages.

emilia-clarke-game-of-thrones-784x441

“Blood of my blood. You kept all your promises to me. You killed my enemies in their iron suits. You tore down their stone houses. You gave me the Seven Kingdoms,” she tells them, speaking in High Valyrian. “Unsullied, all of you were torn from your mother’s arms and raised as slaves. Now, you are liberators. You have freed the people of King’s Landing from the grip of a tyrant. But the war is not over. We will not lay down our spears until we have liberated all the people of the world! From Winterfell to Dorne, from Lannisport to Qarth, from the Summer Isles to the Jade sea. Women, men and children have suffered too long beneath the wheel. Will you break the wheel with me?”

^^ That was Dany’s speech, it does sound inspiring but she just massacred an entire city, “freeing people of King’s landing”, you mean burning them and stabbing them eh? such liberation you got there…I really think most people will agree, she truly believed she was right, later on when she talks to Jon and he is like “we need a good world” ,she’s like “I KNOW what’s good” ok, so you are the new parameter for what’s good and bad now? Yeah no, that’s very third reich woman.

So we got some Tyrion talking to Jon while being imprisoned, Jon goes talks to Dany, he kills her, in an okish way, (8 years in the making to die like this? oh well, you had became a tyrant so it’s ok) Drogon doesn’t flinch and melts the iron throne, I am unsure if he understood what the purse of the throne did to his “mom” or he just wanted to burn something. He takes Dany’s body and flies away,that was sad, for him.

Then a long ass time passes, Jon is imprisoned, why didn’t the unsullied killed him is beyond me, must be due to the bunch of Northern people hanging around…so there’s a council, Sansa, Arya, Bran, Sam,Yara and others, long story short, Tyrion becomes intelligent again and gives a cool speech, he thinks they all should pick a king or queen, he proposes Bran, cos he knows all…ok so they all vote yes, Sansa says “Ok lil bro, love ya but the North will be independent -wink wink me Queen there- ” everyone is fine with it and that’s it, Bran the broken is the new fucking king.

Arya goes all Colon and sails off to search for new lands, Sansa is queen in the north, best thing ever, Jon goes back to ..the fucking nightwatch which has no purpose cos there are no more white walkers..so he goes with Turmond pal.

That’s it.

Ijousha no Ai/ manga

193992l

I don’t know where this came from but I love the before –> and the after <–,specially the blond LOL, it’s not a spoiler she dies quite soon to set up the story ok?

How did I find this title? Browsing on the horror section of manga of course, I like to read about yandere hardcore people, bullying WITH revenge and stuff like that even though I know in real life those things are no good. So the plot is, as described:

“Kazumi Ichinose, 16 years old, high school student. Midou Saki fell in love with him when he was an elementary school student. That was the beginning of hell. Jealousy. Obsession. Pools of Blood. Tears. Death. Common sense, words, nothing makes sense. Misfortune befell those loved by “him”. Love starts with blood. ”

So, at age 11 this Kazumi guy had a little girlfriend, nothing serious, I mean, 11 years old come on, a chick confesses to her, A CHILD, they all childs! Midou, I’d not say “fall in love” I don’t know if people don’t know this obsessed and perverted fixation people have isn’t love or they do think it’s “intense love” , it must be an overuse of the term “falling in love” but people, please, stalking, kidnapping and becoming an obsessive partner, even without the murder, is not love, ok?

I didn’t like the drawing,I still don’t, but I am sorta used to it by now, it’s like not totally chibi but not totally grown up, it’s weird AF. Now the characters…Midou is bat-shit crazy, right from a very young age, what surprises me is how lax the law is, “Ah you killed someone at 11 eh? kids..ok off you go in few years” I won’t say much not to spoil it but she comes back, more than once! cos that’s what sick people do, come back over and over to haunt their prey,ehm object of fixation.

I like Yotsuya…but it’s a bad surname to have here.

Read it if you wish, the chapters are short and it’s not TOO graphic, compared to others.

 

 

Otome saku or Heavenly garden where the maidens bloom / reloaded

otome_saku_ch08_196.png

What is wrong with the title!!  It’s so damn long in english . Anyway, the image isn’t so great but it’s the only one I found that could be posted here,since the main thing is kinda hentai…well..yes it is.

BUT it’s different because unlike most hentai,which I usually don’t like cos it’s random meaningless sex, this one actually struck  me as cute … Let me tell you all about it.

The story is well..hmm, there are these girls,at an all girl school ( OF COURSE ) and they have relationships among them, a pair are like sisters,until they express their love and therefore have sex ( as usually happens, haha ) the other 2 have a secret relationship or something…the other two as well…eh you see how it goes. The most interesting ones are :

Sara-chan who is a mixed race and is actually blond ( white and black manga doesn’t really help with this, but that’s what covers are for ) and seems to like going out with female teachers…she is infatuated with..

Miharu-san who is a first year and for some reason falls prey to…

Itsuki-san who is a second year and Sara’s cousin ( TA DAAAM ) , she decides Miharu is a threat to Sara ( ??) so decides to teach her a lesson…aha sure…so she forces her ( so to speak ) to switch panties with her..and they have sex after club activities ( a big important play is gonna be shown kinda soon,and they perform in it,all of them )

Now, Sara likes Miharu,so she tells Itsuki to stop having sex with her, she agrees but for some reason she ends up having even more sex with Miharu, they spend an awful lot of time together,and she asks Miharu to marry her…yes cos that’s what you do after you fall in love with someone you initially only meant to “scold” by having sex with and switching panties,that must be how life works nowadays.

Sara does confess to Miharu but she declines cos she is going out with Itsuki so…Sara talks to a teacher ( nurse I think ) and they hook up naturally. In the end everyone is happy and has more and more sex.

Meaningful and elaborated plot? Hell no, but for some reason I found Itsuki and Miharu-sama to be soooooooooo cute together…I had to write about it.

Look for it if you wish,but keep in mind this author seems to think switching panties and having urine all over equals love.

 

PS I copied this from my old blog, the one I lost access to… I wrote so many funny reviews, I will re-post them here, it is my old blog after all!

Miss Guillotine

The very first webtoon/manwah whatever, I started to follow, was “Lily Love 2 frost jewel” because Ice and Ploy are DA best, I’ll make a separate post for those.

But this…I unlocked the whole thing after reading 6 episodes..magical girls and bullying, revenge and twisted feelings?

JUST HOW I LIKE IT

Miss Guillotine

If you can spend the money, please support this artist, any artist you do like actually. It helps them create all that we love.

This comes from someone who really wouldn’t spend all the moneys reading stuff, but now and then, I think it’s worth it, check it out but beware of cruelty, bullying and dying.

American Horror Story Apocalypse Ending

Not gonna talk about the whole season for a reason, keep reading

always in order ,this is a massive spoiler alert

Do not keep reading,unless you’ve watched or if you don’t give a flying fuck about getting spoiled.

Ok, don’t say I didn’t warn you

I loved the idea of having a full crossover in this season, coven? Coven is one of my favorite seasons, along with Murder House ( which also was here hooray) but…you know, in episode 6,I think, which Sarah Paulson directed, which was brilliant and the best so far, they solved things in Murder House, Moira, the maid, was released from suffering,she reunited with her mom in heaven or some place I don’t know, Tate and Violet got to talk again,so did Vivian and the husband,hell, even Madison grew a lot as a person and stopped being so selfish.

But no, you had to go to the final episode,have this so powerful witch Mallory go back in time and just UNDO everything! How? she runs over Michael,I confess I was laughing so hard by then,like come on bitch,I know he was still not as powerful but…she practically ran over an oversized kid, lol.

So with this, Myrtle doesn’t come back,Madison is being a bitch in hell, Misty is brought back though,which made my heart happy. But Moira doesn’t get her happy ending, at least Constance didn’t kill herself to be forever in the Murder House but like, so many cool things went to waste…

The worse though..was that the Antichrist was to be born ANYWAY, of course, we can kind of guess that, but guess how? From Timothy and Emily the dudes with some awesome DNA…no special dudes, no witches,no warlocks, undoing the vision and prophecy from Billie, back at murder house, when she said the Antichrist would be born from the union of  a spirit and a human, at the murder house because it was built in a fucking hell portal.

Not from random fucking people with cool DNA. Fuck that, fuck that ten times.

Cordelia killing herself to fuel Mallory was GREAT, having the real voodoo queen back is ..wait a moment, that is undone too!!!! gnaaaaaaa!!!

I wanted Mallory to be like a fucking angel, why is she so awesome?

I can’t end this without mentioning how awesome Cordelia is with the line “Satan has one son but my sisters are legion motherfucker”

Bleh

About manhwa, manhua

For those who don’t know yet, manhwa (I’ve read other spellings, but let’s use this one shall we?)  is what manga is to Japan, but to Korea, so Korean manga, ok? Usually comes in the form of webtoons, a popular reader is Lezhin.

Now, there are many genres, a LOT of BL or boy love, yaoi for Japanese, I don’t like dudes kissing and doing stuff to other dudes, but a lot of people like that, I am reading though this one called “Killing ,stalking” which is about…well this dude stalks this other dude, a super hot guy apparently, tall, strong, popular, the stalker dude is skinny, plain dude. So the taller one is yes, a serial killer, from there on it’s all a weird co-dependency and some sexual abuse and more murder so..it’s not for everyone, nor it is a love story, but it’s well written.

But that’s not why I am writing this, I am writing about, GL of course, or girl’s love, aka Yuri in all it’s Korean glory. I’ll share some of my favorite titles BUT, I have to clarify that some of them might be Thai (such as the work of Ratana Satis) or Chinese like Tamen de gushi but they haven’t so many titles to make their own category so bear with it.

I’ll say it again, what I like the most is the slow pace they all usually have, it’s not confess and earth shattering love making 5 minutes after, no sir, it generally takes several dates before, lots of small things and hotter and hotter moments that finally lead us (well,them) to the action, also usually, once they get to that point, they seem to do it a lot too,  but always keep doing cute stuff and watching movies and eating together and all that stuff that I love.

Without further ado and in no special order:

What does the Fox say? – Team Gaji  – Korean

32072349._UY630_SR1200,630_

I think this was one of the very first ones I read, here is the official synopsis for it “Seongji joins a mobile game developer Hello Studio. From the crowd of reluctant, casual acquaintances, one person stands out. Direct, no-nonsense, and short-tempered, but occasionally the damsel – her team manager Sumin…Alluring artwork and a shocking plot twist!” it’s long, it took a lot to be completed, but it finally ended AND there is a spin-off bleh and a continuation on our main girls coming too! I am so much looking forward to it. Out of all the titles, this is the one with the most sex, lewd scenes, just so that you know, it’s not hentai level, but there’s nude, nude bodies doing lewd things and making love and omg don’t read at work.

Also from Team gaji Pet’s aesthetics – Korean

Pet-2BAesthetics-2Bby-2BTeam-2BGaji

There is a cameo of blondie and black haired girls from WDTFS ,so that is already a good sign, this one isn’t so much romantic though, but it’s still nice art. It’s short and the end is quite…eh? fuck off lol, but you may not dislike it.

 

Now we move to Miss angel and Miss devil by MAEU Malgeum – Korean

7d1042dc22f96d71f0b75199b42c30ce3e771b75v2_hq

 

I believe she’s a woman, now this story is about angels who don’t behave as such and devils who are kinder than them, it’s really fun and interesting.  The angels are more perverts than the devils hahaha, it’s really good and it is ongoing.

 

 

Mage & Demon Queen by Color_LES – Philippines

maxresdefault

This is so good, the entire setting is like a damn MMORPG, there are quests, a guild, mages, knights, and levels on the castle, the final boss is, yes, the demon queen, but the fun part is that Malori (?) the mage, is in love with her! The queen won’t have it though and keeps sending her off and killing her (they just get revived at the church for a fee and be alright,worry not) it’s ongoing, what will happen!?

 

Lily (Yy) by Pikapi Comic Team (Yy) – Chinese

a5o9bXO_700b

Man this one is also so good,   it is currently ongoing, on its second season, yes, these kind of work have seasons, I think it’s been 218 chapters, at the beginning it’s them bonding and the shorter one realizing her feelings sooner, season 2 is about their blooming relationship and moving in together.

 

Lily Love – Ratana Satis- Thai

9b4ef6ab57120fa9479a20e256acb74ce70fb471_hq

From left to right we got Ploy, Mew, Donut and Ice (those names…) the main pair is Mew aka blondie and plain Donut, of course the other two end up being involved but worry not, this is a sweet title and the art is quite nice, it ended  which takes us to..

Lily Love 2 : Frosted Jewel also by Ratana Satis and therefore, also Thai duh

cover_250x350

Those ones, yes, this is a spin-off and dear lord me, I am loving it, even more so than the original, because I like these two morons better!!! Ice is da bomb and Ploy is the typical jerk with a heart of gold. It is ongoing and I can’t wait for its second season.

 

Blooming Sequence by Lee Eul – Korean

3z.b9EJspz7.jpg

This one is also quite good, the red haired girl meets her sunbae (aka senpai),the taller one at a film club, which is about, duh movies and movie making, there’s of course mysterious ex from the past and all that ,overall is cute and it has the bonus of sharing some info on cool movies.

Tamen de Gushi /Their story – Tan Jiu – Chinese

maxresdefault (1)

This is a quite chill story, they meet at school, the taller one with darker hair is totally chill in life as you can see,the shorter blond one is a bit more angsty, as it has to be, this is one of the most fun ones, it’s just hilarious!!

 

A special mention to Fluttering feelings/ exciting feelings, by Ssamba, sadly the author died at 33 leaving this uncomplete, it was really sad to know this.

zq.gndkCcGW

 

 

 

There’s others, like “The love doctor” and “the third party” but I wasn’t pleased with how they ended so they will not be here, lol. Not that they are bad at any rate! But didn’t catch my heart, damn I loved the third party but that ending… … …. ….  😦

 

 

Goblin Slayer (anime & manga)

GSlayer.jpg

 

So, I have few titles watching, didn’t include this one or Akanesau Shoujo cos well, I forgot about that one but this, it wasn’t on my radar, I usually go for weird comedy or yuri. Or something weird and fucked up, sometimes shonen. This falls into the laast 2.

I wasn’t sure what to expect, an adventurer guild, priest, fighter, wizard, are we in FF?         (*-*) ! WRONG, it’s more like D&D, right at the beginning of the anime there’s bloody fights, blood, rape, fear. And then it comes Mr. Goblin Slayer, a real badass, I can see why it’s such a popular character, even tho I knew nothing about him or this title.

Along with useful information on how to fight goblins inside caves and other daily life occurrences, he helps our priest girl to leave the cave, cos as a good white priest she’s pretty damn useless at the beginning.

It’s pretty gruesome, yes, but if you like adventures, middle earth, a party of 4-5 going around the world fighting fantastical creatures, give it a try, I did and will definitely watch all AND of course I am reading the manga as well.

NEOBK-2000902

Not too spoilerish but..the martial arts fighting girl?  that they save at the end, along with the other women..they all would be better off dead, after being raped by goblins and used to reproduce. Seriously.

On a last note, don’t be stupid, wear a whole body armor, like Goblin Slayer does, it helps you to resist the fights and to stay alive!

 

Yagate Kimi ni Naru /Bloom into you (anime) + Happy Sugar Life ending (anime)

I loved how they use the perspective in point of view at times, the animation is clear, crispy, colorful and soothing somehow. The voice acting is ON point.

The color palette is exquisite, the usage of the angles, my god it’s well done, so well done, I am reading the manga and it’s getting really interesting, they better give me a satisfying ending hehe, I am curious about what they will do with the anime, for the moment, it’s one of the titles I’ll be watching happily.

The interactions between Touko and Yuu..I don’t know if it’s because I am ill but even I got doki-doki. haha

bloomintoyou-1

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Now moving onto a darker terrain, let’s talk about Happy Sugar Life, the anime and specially the ending, because man, it was quite a sight!

9173b96361610ada6b624f450febbcfb1522954452_full
Nothing could go wrong right?

Needless to say this will be full of spoilers as can be, spoil, spoiling the world away!!!!

If you made it to the end,I don’t need to talk much more about the characters, also it’s not necessary if you have read the manga and you should.  Satou is this high school (?) girl who finds randomly a little girl (seriously, how old is Shio?) who was just abandoned by her mother (don’t blame the mom, her life is pure shitty misery) and her big bro (Damn poor Asahi) is looking frantically for her , Satou’s aunt is,well, I’d not dare to say she’s whacko and totally out of her mind, she seems to be not exactly a masochist, but the kind of person who would accept anyone and love them, even if this means they hit her or more, there’s other cool characters, like Mitsuboshi-kun who was a regular guy, he got raped by this older woman and turned into a full-blown lolicon, he does get creepy, then a lolicon teacher, the stalkerish girl who loves Satou and of course Satou’s friend Shoko.

So anyway, just as it happened at the beginning of the anime, the whole building is on fire, well the floor where Satou’s flat is, (you go aunt! no half-hearted job done here!) and we see Satou and Shio jumping off the roof,but how did they get there?

I’ll just talk about the very last episode, so Asahi finally meets Shio, she tells him she’s better off with Satou and that she doesn’t need him or their mother no more, all this while Matsuboshi-kun is again raped, this time by.. Satou’s aunt!!, Satou and Shio escape to the roof, where, cornered by fire, decide to die together cos, life isn’t worthy without each other (pfff) so they do so, BUT, at the last moment, Satou realizes she cares about Shio enough to want her to live, she is not that selfish girl anymore, I think she had a hint of what real love is and thus tries to protect Shio from the fall. She does so by tightetning her hug so she’ll take most of the impact. Ouch.

She dies of course, most likely in a quick, sorta painless way (I like to think that) , while Shio is surely fucked up a bit from the fall but alive nonetheless, we see her mother looking at the hospital from far away (where the hell you been oka-san??!!) , Asahi enters the room and offers her to live together with him, but alas! She is now slightly different, we can kind of see the same look in her eyes that Satou had, aka she a whacko yandere now.  Maybe not exactly, but she surely has changed, she wasn’t this innocent little girl the entire time, make no mistake, she wasn’t bad either but she had some issues of her own, she needed to fill her emptiness, as did Satou, they called this love, although we know love isn’t about filling our voids with people or even feelings.

You have to fill it yourself first, be a jar full of juice, then you can serve some juice to share with someone, that is love. The juice analogy is just the best, I know.

Now, the aunt is taken to jail for burning the damn place, she’s so casual about it,like “Yes,I did it, hello!”, but she lived in a filthy apartment, with tissues and old bodily fluids and gods know what else so jail seems fine,I’m sure she’ll accept all kinds of “love” there.

As a final word, for me, Satou was never a lolicon, she just wanted to have this sweet feeling cos the world was either empty or bitter for her, Shio wanted to be needed and was drawn to Satou cos her “jar” /heart was empty but not broken, unlike her mother’s. Asahi just wanted to find his little sister and be happy, tough luck kid, the friend..we can really tell it hit hard on Satou to had killed her,like she actually felt bad about it.

Thus it ends, a fine title as another one begins.
