So, Blue Lock Season 2 came out recently and as expected it’s kind of terrible π. The animation in the first season wasn’t that good, but it was passable. This season, however, the animation hit a new low and it looks awful. There’s no actual movement and it looks like it was edited on Capcut or something. The CGI looks bad as well π. However, the segments at the end of the show, Blue Lock Additional Time (which has a somewhat different animation style), are still really funny and enjoyable. I’ve also been able to recognize some of the kanji in the character’s names recently, which is cool. The terrible animation is so disappointing because Blue Lock is my second favorite manga of all time and I really wanted the anime to be good. Anyway, this additional time has Nagi Seishiro (my fourth favorite character in BL) and is very silly, so enjoy.
Learning Japanese this semester has been super fun. I feel like I learned a lot of new concepts and I have way firmer grasps of the concepts I already learned from Duolingo (lol). Practicing hiragana, katakana, and kanji has all been really fun because I’ve always loved handwriting. It’s so awesome to be able to consumes Japanese media and understand it without translation as well. The classroom environment has been really fun and lively all semester and everyone’s been super nice. My knowledge of Japanese has greatly expanded in a short amount of time and I’m super pleased with my progress. γγγγ¨γγγγγΎγπ。
For this assignment, I rewatched my favorite episode (Season 1, episode 12) from my second favorite anime, Mob Psycho 100. In this absolutely peak episode, Mob (the incredibly powerful psychic protagonist), Reigen Arataka (his fake psychic mentor), and a band of other psychics work together to take down the Claw 7th Division (a group of psychics who wish to take over the world and rule over non-psychics), who kidnapped Mob’s brother, Ritsu. After defeating Claw’s lackeys, the group of psychics (plus Reigen) meet the heads of the Division and Mob prepares to fight them. However, Reigen steps in and refuses to let Mob fight, since Mob is only a child and shouldn't have to deal with that burden, especially since Reigen taught him that his powers shouldn’t be used to harm others. The relief Mob feels after Reigen takes responsibility for their safety is so great that Mob temporarily transfers all his power to Reigen, who easily defeats Claw. Reigen not only defeats the members, but h...
So, this is the incredibly talented Fujii Kaze singing his amazing song, Shinunoga Ii-wa. This performance is beautiful and his vocals and the instrumental are just so perfect together. The piano solo in the beginning and the drums are amazingggg. I found this song through TikTok like two years ago and obsessively listened to it for like a week straight. I also really like the lyrics. Fujii is singing about loving someone so much he’d rather die than not be with them (even saying he’d starve to be with her). I think the possessive and kind of creepy undertones of the song are really cool and he performs it in a way you can feel his obsession. He’s tooooo good.
