I don't admire the protagonists of these shows, so it's hard to care what happens to them. In Kyoukai Senki, this wishy-washy guy with no real goal in life randomly builds a robot, randomly joins a terrorist organization, then randomly leaves it again because things didn't go well. He has no core, no sense of self at all. I assume he'll randomly change his mind again and rejoin the terrorists, but who cares? Probably the episode after that he'll randomly grow dispirited and quit again. Since he has no compass he just floats every which way.
In Taishou Otome the guy is only missing one arm and yet acts like he's a full-body-paralysis cripple. He can't do anything despite having years to practice with one hand. It's pathetic. There are so many one-armed people living their lives right now so much better than him, heck, there are people with no arms more competent than him. But the last straw is that he let his wife wear a breast-band so tight that she's suffocating from it, passing out, and even cutting her hand and bleeding because of it, all for the sake of fashion. Something that torturous, that unhealthy, should never be allowed, and any real man would have put his foot down and demanded she stop constricting her breasts immediately. He also should have reassured her that she's beautiful the way God made her and there's no need to hide it. But he didn't even have the willpower to do that. He's a complete failure of a person who can't even protect his wife. There's nothing left to see here.
The fall anime season has rapidly shrunk down to 12 shows, one of which is a short. Kimetsu no Yaiba sure would be nice right about now. At least Selection Project is as amazing as I predicted it would be. Every episode is absolutely ravishing.
A lot of series have come out in blu-ray recently that I'd already watched twice. Since I didn't want to download the blu-rays for no reason I was pretty much stuck watching them thrice. Now I've succeeded in that mission for Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear and Kamisama ni Natta hi. I'll continue to mow down all these blu-ray series until they're all cleaned up. Just like I made use of the new Fairy Tail Final and Bleach blu-rays, no download shall go in vain.
I'm most of the way through Ayakashi Triangle and it seems to be getting worse over time, not better. A lot of forced fanservice situations that divert from the seriousness of the actual plot really bogs things down. Nevertheless it's a vital aid to getting through my music playlist. There's only 302 songs left to go, but Saturday and Sunday are devoted to football so my progress will temporarily stall again.
I'm making full use of my HBO Max subscription by rewatching the Harry Potter series. I love how white the wizarding world is. The heroes, the villains, the teachers, everyone is white, white, white! It's our own little world! Like the original Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, you really can 'get away' to a better place watching these films.
Conference USA has now lost Southern Miss, Old Dominion and Marshall. It looks to me like the conference will have to disband and disappear entirely. All because two Big 12 teams, Texas and Oklahoma, decided to join the SEC. It's the proverbial butterfly flapping its wings to cause a hurricane on the other side of the globe. What a pitiful way to go.
