FINISHED Meiji Tokyo Renka
When I started this drama I do have to admit that I didn't realize that it was going to be a reverse harem cause both the synopsis and the poster made me assume that it was a love triangle but at the same time unlike most reverse harems, Mei actually picked one of the many men around her to love. The story itself was a pretty basic one in that Mei meets many men and helps them with their problems and they fall in love with her but maybe it's the fact that I haven't watched a reverse harem in forever that I actually enjoyed myself to the degree that this was a fluffy show with little stakes. I do have to admit that I low key found myself actually shipping Mei with Syunso more than Ougai because I thought Syunso was much more interesting and I actually almost cried at Syunso's backstory episode if you can believe that! I did love that the show was set in a different time period and the opening song was so much fun to listen to but the whole time travel thing was super strange for me only cause of the ending. Like just a few episodes before the end, Mei promised to never leave Ougai's side but then all of a sudden she was like 'I have to go home' even after Charlie told her that it was up to her whether she stayed or left. It was weird cause even if Mei thought that she would do better in modern day now that she learned to embrace who she was, it wasn't like she had anything to go back to. I mean we never saw her parents and we know she had no friends so why not stay in the past where she had a man she loved and friends who adored her? I do like to imagine that the ghosts she was friends with since childhood were the men she met in the past but it doesn't change my feelings about how this show concluded.
FINISHED Angels Of Death
What an insanely weird anime that I enjoyed a lot more than I probs should have! Like let's be honest, I knew going in that it was going to be super strange cause it's synopsis literally explains that it'll take place in a serial killer's home so like what would you expect? I loved how messed up this show was though cause it was so unique. Instead of being a show about redeeming villains, it embraced the crazy. Everyone were villains to say the least and there was no questioning it even if we did get to know both Zack and Rachel's backstories and why they became the people that they were. The idea of the show being about the two trying to escape by going through multiple floors that had puzzles and other serial killers was fun to watch though the floor with the priest was a little boring and I was fascinated with the journey we took with Rachel. I knew from the start that there had to be more to her than we knew but I never expected her to actually be one of the killers with her own floor and it was honestly hilarious to me how both she and Danny thought that once Zack knew about her parents that Zack would hate her when it's like dudes Zack is a killer too so he really wouldn't care! I do think the religious aspect to this show was a bit more heavy-handed than it should have been but I do like that it was used as kind of a metaphor for finding the light in darkness and seeing humanity's flaws. The ending was perfect to me and I'd like to imagine that Zack and Rachel end up going on the run cause I feel like her asking for Zack to kill her is kind of just a running joke between them and they clearly care for one another so I can see Zack continuously putting it off by being like Rachel your face isn't right yet. In the end Rachel found someone who needed her and Zack found someone who told him that he wasn't a monster and that's the sweetest we can get in this horrible world!
Titans Season 2 Episode 4
Holy shit I knew this episode was going to make me feel the feels but I didn't realize how much until the episode ended and I was sobbing like a baby. Who knew that in the course of one episode I would fall in love with Garth, and the relationship between Donna and Garth only to have my heart crushed when he died? I had a feeling that a Titan died by Slade's hands but I always assumed that it was Joey aka Jericho and that it was partially the Titans fault but I never thought that it was another Titan until this episode was called Aqualad and it was set in the past. I knew immediately that it had to be Garth that was killed but that didn't stop me loving him especially since he was played by Drew Van Acker who I adored over on Pretty Little Liars. He and Donna had such insane chemistry and such a lovely backstory that I actually believed that these two had been in love since they were 12 and that they loved each other so much. The story about the clownfish was so heartwarming and I also loved seeing how close the older Titans were and how they felt so much more like a family than I expected! When Garth jumped in front of that bullet for Donna, I was sobbing like a baby but part of me really liked it too cause it felt like not only a fitting way for him to die but a good reason for the Titans to absolutely despise Slade. When Dick approached Jericho a little later, I was low key horrified cause the poor guy is totally going to die as well and that definitely will be what will set Slade off but at the same time I was still furious about Garth's death and part of me was like yes make Slade feel the pain you are. I do have to admit though that I would never have guessed how the whole Slade thing affected Donna so personally cause we've never actually seen any of that trauma in the current day but I suppose maybe after everything it changed Donna from someone who wanted to embrace her destiny to someone who wanted to leave it all behind.
It looks like next week we will be returning to present day which makes me wonder if we'll come back to the past in a future episode so that we can learn everything in pieces. I'm honestly okay with that cause it feels like a fun way to slowly reveal the past and I'm also interested to see what happens with Jason Todd.
