Finally finished Eizouken. Not a bad show, but not really my cup of tea. No idea what to watch next though.

I keep putting that show off because I feel like it won't be my cup of tea either. It's a shame that covid halted so many shows this season. Really does feel like theres not much to watch.

---

Anybody watched Kabukishou Sherlock, or Radiant s1+2 and want to recommend either or both?

---

Never even heard of Kabukishou Sherlock. Doesn't look particularly great to me and it's rocking a pretty low rating as well.

I've heard mixed stuff on radiant with it being either crap or decent. The name just makes me think of an anime about absolute radiance from hollow knight. Still the toughest boss in anything I've beaten I think. I think maybe the adaptation is kinda bad but the source is well liked. I don't know though, I forget.

---

Started watching Dorohedoro. Kinda campy, but seems a little promising. Animation is crap and the VA-work kinda sucks, though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_Historia I thought of that one for some reason. I only played Radiata Stories.
---

Finished Dorohedoro which was... eh. Because the season 1 ending resolves pretty much nothing, I figured I'd just read the wiki for a few spoilers.... and apparently Caimon's identity is a ridiculous clusterfuck

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorohedoro

Dorohedoro was pretty fun and the two main girls were great. Hoping it gets at least one more season.

Did some grade grinding in Vesperia. Should be over my minimum goal with over 5.5k grade now, which is great. My third try, I ended up with a 1190 combo and a bit over 500 grade when I finished the fight.

---

Dorohedoro was one of my personal favorites this year.

I love the surrealism of it all. Every thing is just so bizarre, violent and wacky.

They have a halloween holiday where everyone gets together and kills zombies, that awesome.

@Zeus
I hope that isnt a wiki spoiler you posted about Caiman's identity, I purposefully stopped reading your post at that point just in case.

I somehow got secret mission 6 done. I was just spamming serpent and it fell down when I'm sure he wasn't trying to recover health.

The really annoying thing with Steam and JRPGS is it always changes your config if you hit any button on the keyboard before using the controller. Playing a JRPG with keyboard and mouse is annoying. I did that with Zesteria and would have done a lot better with a controller if I had one back then.
---

I fucking love the villainess anime so much. Just watched the latest episode and I wish I could watch 1000 more. It's really nice to have such a nice thing to look forward to every week. I'm sad it'll be over before long. I want some real yuri progress in it.

Somehow I could see the student council president being the final bad guy of the show. He is hyper competent and a little bit odd every time bakarina interacts with him. Probably not the case but hey it'd be a cool way for the story to go. I imagine a finale where the whole harem fights him back but loses until bakarina uses earthbump to make him slip and hit his head.

---

Yay, I'm finished with Vesperia for now. I've got enough grade to carry most things over, except gald, but that's ok, idgaf about gald. Can also get 2x exp and the unlock for making skills only cost 1 point, so that's about as much as I need. Only thing I kinda want that I won't have is the 99 items unlock, but meh, it's not a huge deal.

When I did some more grade grinding today, I hit a combo of around 2060 and got like 580 grade from that battle. I could've kept that combo going even longer, but felt like it was time to end that battle. Glad I did, as it didn't give much more grade than a 1k ish combo.

Still have no idea what to watch, but for games, I'll probably either be starting Nier Automata goty soon, or maybe I'll go back and try to finish up Outer Worlds, or maybe look for guns in Borderlands 3.

i got scolded by my nurse today lol

they got my on two diuretics, so i have to piss near constantly. so for ease of access and from a few close calls, i just took off my underwear entirely. well as i was walking out of the bathroom, the curtain thing was pulled back and the rooms door was open, which i didn't realize, and my wiener was just flopping around in plain sight

well some old man happened to be walking past my room at that moment, and he looked into my room because apparently everyone is a nosey fuckin bastard, and he just got an eyeful of dick

and he told someone at the nurses station, who then came in to scold me for just walking around with my dick out and not having the curtain...open? closed? not having it blocking the door

---

It just seems like common sense. Don't look into a room at the hospital if you don't wanna see something horribly gross. I'd be glad it was just dick I saw instead of something truly disgusting.

---

Started the new Ultraman. Not liking the animation at all.

---

Revelation34 posted...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiant_Historia I thought of that one for some reason. I only played Radiata Stories.

Radiant Historia is one of the best RPGs I have played. I like to think of it as the real sequel to Chrono Trigger.

Radiata Stories is a half-assed 'big cast' RPG (e.g. Suikoden) that the Star Ocean people made between failed Star Ocean games. ... IMO.

Bulbasaur posted...

so i have to piss near constantly.

... usually in this topic.

---

Suikoden is the best RPG series though.
---

Suikoden was always pretty good but none of the ones I played stood out as particularly "best ever". I eventually lost interest and didn't finish most of them after getting halfway through.

Radiata Stories I definitely concede was worse while attempting the same exact thing though. I wanted to love it, and I still liked a few characters, but...

---

I've been sampling random manga, but a new favorite is Roujoteki Shoujo Hinata-chan, about an old woman who dies and is reincarnated. Not in another world though; just reincarnated in the same world, with the same memories, but to a new family. It's adorable watching a five year old girl acting like an old woman.

---

Finished the new Ultra-Man. The season's only good fight was in that final episode. Most of the other battles just looked hokey. Okay series besides that.

I also realize at some point I need to start using a site to track what anime I've watched, etc.

I said the series, not individual games. Best individual games would be FF6 or Chrono Trigger.

Sigh, I'm at a loss. The big super special head of the special diagnostic clinic guy who sits on the conference for rare and undiagnosed diseases for decades gave up on me almost immediately. He has no knew ideas. Didn't even have any labwork to order or anything to rule out. He sent me to another doctor less qualified than he is which has gotta be nearing my 50th doctor and have no reason to think that doctor will have any knew ideas and not just send me to yet another doctor who doesn't know anything.

Everything at the hospital recently was to prepare a work up for this special fuckin doctor cause he's so smart and "he'll stick with you find out whats wrong no matter how long it takes". Wtf man. Apparently that has an addenum "unless he doesn't know immediately in which case get fucked".

We still know NOTHING about my illness, I STILL don't have a diagnosis over a year later, and the last resort that may or may not keep me alive (although it won't treat my condition at all, just stop me from starving to death), nobody wants to actually sign off on because they don't want to be liable if I get an infection.

Did I cross over into the twilight zone or something? Do they really have no way of just looking in my stomach when I eat and seeing what the fuck is happening to the food that shouldn't be? Like, the food enters my mouth just fine but somewhere during it's journey through my insides, something wrong happens. They have no idea what though. Apparently theres no way to find out.

And then, thats only a portion of my issue. Why am I not sweating? Nobody knows. Sweat glad biopsy? Nah, why bother? Why does my brain get fucked up and I go into shock? Eh, it's a nonspecific symptom, nobody knows. Is my spinal chord injured maybe? Nobody knows. Maybe my cerebral spinal fluid is either too pressurized or theres not enough? Nobody knows. Maybe my low potassium is causing some sort of temporary brain swelling when I drink liquids? Nobody knows. Maybe we should fucking test some of those things? Idk, lets just send you to yet another doctor instead. Like, how is this possible? I feel like they've tried actually nothing aside from standard bloodwork and CT scans. All things that you don't need any level of training to deal with. The only thing a google search doesn't do, apparently they don't actually do either.

Oh, I see.

Eat bananas

Thats actually like the one food besides brown rice I can eat, but it gives me diarrhea which makes me lose weight so I only eat them occasionally. I can't handle any other forms of potassium it seems and you actually need like 8 bananas to hit the daily value which is dangerous cause you'd get too high of a level of other vitamins.

---

I started to watch ,Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, which I remember reading a little of the manga, and I thought it was weird how it was just starting with the guy and girl knowing each other. Apparently NF had skipped me ahead to the second episode because I had watched 30 seconds of the first episode in the past.

At any rate, the anime makes everything in it so much more cringe-y. I don't know if I can take it.

---

Just got to Yormgen. Outbreaker was much easier than I remember. I guess because I the broke the orb near the start of the battle without trying.
---

Realized that I am not watching any television shows right now and the only thing keeping me going week-to-week right now is Sing Yesterday For Me.

---

...sometimes I feel like the universe is punking me. I'm still watching Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions (NF has s1, but it's missing the OVA and I think a whole other series but it has the one after that) and the group is discussing competitive napping. I assumed it had to be a joke, but I'm seeing results in Google about it.

Not the most authoritative-looking sources, but... is this shit real?

Had a shower thought today:

Hajime no Ippo or Baki the Grappler?

---

Oh Japan.

So I just discovered an interesting manga

It's about a guy who is insecure about his bad teeth... and a girl who has a teeth fetish.

I have a feeling that the mangaka saw that scene in Nisemonogatari and thought "I can make a story out of this!"

Anyways the tile is Fukanzen de Fueisei de Fushidara

There's only one chapter out so far, but it's definitely got a hook. I can safely say I have no idea what the story will be like in the future.

Ippo is the better show by a longshot IMO but baki people are inhuman.

Watched the latest episode of villainess.

I'm a goddamn genius. I wonder if most or ALL of my prediction will be correct. I called bakarina earth bump taking out red head dude but the story seems like it might be more about charming him instead.

Also fuck doctors. Might as well be actively trying to kill me.

Rewatching Toradora since I haven't had anything to watch for a while. Been surviving on random youtube vids lol.

I can't use my boat in Vesperia on any beach all of a sudden. Well I mean getting on it. I can disembark only.
---

Have you unlocked flight?

You can't go into the boat from beaches anymore after that.

You have to fly and then land in the water to use the boat.

That's really stupid. I wanted to get the sailing skit. Which means I can't use Ba'ul at all for awhile.

Six posts to go.

It occurred to me that I had not finished Are You Lost? yet, so I got back into it ... after I got the Crunchyroll app working on my tablet again. The Android version is buggy, glitchy, and generally awful, but at least it eventually works, unlike the Kindle Fire version, which I think they just totally forgot to update some time last year.

---

Watched the latest ep of villainess. The show just gets better and better. I can't wait for the finale next saturday.

Still a few behind on tower of god but I know what happens from the source so I don't feel as motivated to watch it yet.

---

I haven't watched anything in a while but I actually started watching the original Fullmetal alchemist since I never saw but I'm loving it so far

I haven't watched anything in a while

Last anime I watched was that Chunibyo one, which I finished over a week ago, I think (just the 2 seasons on NF -- I think there was a lot of shit in between I missed)

When I was re-watching Ouran before that, it occurred to me that I've bought a bunch of anime over the years for things I saw and liked but I haven't rewatched a single one. I do the same with films, but at least I've rewatched a few of those.

I've got a ton of non-anime to watch still and I still haven't found a new place for reading manga. However, this topic reminded me that Toradora is a thing, which I was somewhat interested in when it came out like a decade ago towards the end of my last anime kick, so I'll probably watch that at some point since it's on Crunchyroll.

---

I wound up just leaving the game running while watching Youtube videos. I fell asleep at one point and it wasn't finished but for some reason decided to finish when I went to the closest town to go save.
