Two more dropped shows: Salaryman to Big Four and Medaka Kuroiwa. I wasn't expecting much from either, and yeah, not even junk food quality.

Watched the first ep of Honey Lemon Soda. Typical slice of life/romance stuff. The main character is a boring, white meat, meek, weak willed, bland girl, but the main dude, the blonde girl and the other guys might be enough to overcome the main girl's "I WANNA CHANGE" thing BS that really does nothing for me with these kinds of characters. They gave her some bullies right off the bat so her blandness makes sense. This is played as a drama. If it was a comedy, it'd probably be insufferable and I'd drop it. I'll give it a few more episodes I think.

Next up is Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective.

Finally started Beastars season 3 (part 1, bleh), love that they went back to actually trying with the OP after what the season 2 one was! Doesn't hit quite as high as the season 1 OP but it's very much appreciated

Insanely curious what they'll change compared to the manga

Light Yagami is in the bottom-left quadrant. Johan Liebert is very, very obviously a villain and is impossible to interpret any way other than the bad guy. Way more right-wingers will have Light as a profile because his villainy is 'justifiable' and can easily slot into a worldview filled with cognitive dissonance.

Doctor Detective was weird, in a good way. The first half of the ep was all edutainment stuff that made me remember all the anatomy and physiology classes I took in college. I was somehow able to follow it despite veering into Star Trek levels of word salad -> common explanation for dummies. The show started to pop off when the main lead was out of the hospital and doing weird crime/mystery stuff with her stiff dork subordinate and yelling at her uncle.

It's got this weird mix that could work for me.

But in a completely different note. Looks like a data breach may have happened on Crunchyroll (again). There's a post on Twitter exposing a bunch of people's login credentials (which is a very shitty thing to do). So if you want to play it safe, you should probably change your password on there.

But since Crunchyroll is a broken site, you can't change your password through the settings and have to use the Forgot Password on login to do so.

1/3 through and we have legitimate on screen DID and mental breakdowns. Sakiko thought Mortis was going to attack her, maybe even push her into the river! Just absurd that this is the same Girls Band Party that gave us those first seasons, no disrespect to them!

It's also wild to think of the sheer butterfly effect that went on in-universe to get to where we are now.

Kasumi with Poppin'Party inspiring Mashiro to form Morfonica
-> Morfonica inspires Sakiko to form Crychic
-> Which splits into MyGO and Ave Mujica

And to think that all of this started thanks to smol Arisa leaving star stickers around town.

It was...fine? I SUPPOSE it feels like an ending? It didn't feel rushed, it just felt soft. Given how many manga have shit the bed across the finish line lately that's satisfactory enough. It's only going to be the second most upsetting manga to lose this quarter, though. Only 2 chapters left until How Do We Realtionship is gone.....

Yeah, that was a very safe and simple ending. Still I'll take that over doing something crazy or adding a bad and unnecessary twist at the end. Fine is a good description of that last chapter.

After a few false starts, I found my junk food show of the season: Guild Receptionist. It's pretty dumb and goofy. A lot of the dialogue and characters are lackluster. But there is something that speaks to me as a customer service person seeing this lady just bitching about people screwing up her day by being shit at their adventuring job. Some dumbass even pulled the "Don't you know who I am card" on her, and she's just like, "JUST SHOW ME YOUR FUCKING CARD ALREADY!"

I'm all for this as long as the show has enough Clerks moments. "This job would be great if it weren't for the fucking customers."

I'm liking it from the guild receptionist bit. As long as they keep focusing on her bitching out being a customer service rep and dealing with idiots, I can live with the rest of the show being kinda boring trash. It reminded me of Uramichi Oniisan taking the piss out of working as children's TV hosts, but less spiteful.

So I just watched all of the Evangelion rebuild movies for the first time. They were all pretty good!

I remember the reception being kind of mixed but I pretty much liked and understood all the choices being made. I was completely fine with the first one being a recap of the original series and the other three becoming increasingly crazy. My only real complaint is that Mary is here with basically no explicit feedback (I think it's implied she was the first Eva pilot or something? Or that she worked with Gendo and Yui?)

2>4>1>3 (3 was just too short and felt like there was stuff that should've been in there like all the Kaji/preventing third impact stuff).

Lol yeah I saw that. Also saw that in the scene where they're all watching that film in Mutsumi's studio that Uika isn't there? At all? She snuck out during thr movie?? Why, where???

It says a lot about where this series is at that I see those screenshots of Sakiko struggling and collapsing, and my first thought isn't "oh it's just her in despair" but is instead "uh oh was her mom's thing genetic??"
