More so the latter than the former. I was at a point a couple of years ago where I'd be watching 40+ seasonals to completion and after a couple of episodes it was evident which ones were actually worth my sobriety and which ones required a little bit of legwork to actually sit through. Keep in mind, these are seasonals we're talking about where maybe 5 out of those 40 are passable and 2 of those 5 are actually good-great. To maintain that lifestyle, for me anyway, it was damn near an imperative to not be sober. Not so much nowadays as I've drastically cut back on the amount of anime I watch and because getting loaded every week wasn't reflecting well on my mental/physical health.

As far as pursuing a different experience, watching anime I enjoy while intoxicated/tripping was never really my bag personally as I tend to go a little bit too introspective to really focus my attention on the task at hand.

Thank you! All it took was a lot of drugs/alcohol and basically no other hobbies but watching seasonals every week, not a path I would recommend.

Thank you very much and my apologies for the late reply!

Thank you! Appreciate it!
Happy birthday for you too (⁠☞⁠ ͡⁠°⁠ ͜⁠ʖ⁠ ͡⁠°⁠)⁠☞

Yeah i really loved how the second season built on everything before and had different perspectives/narrators! The way the themes, which were nice and a bit simple, were executed was pretty clever too. Can't wait to learn more about ougi and see the rest!

It was great! The fight scenes are just beautiful. It must be really hard to animate those. last two episodes were really confusing tho. And I forgot which episode, but I couldn't stop myself from laughing when I finally saw the original shinji holding a mug scene xD

Also i was just finished rewatching the movie to see some of the details I missed and oh man, the details in second part is awesome. All the letters from the fans,the critics,the death threat, and photos of the studio getting vandalized. I originally gave the movie an 8,but after seeing those,of course I have to change it.

Well, that was a lot. sorry I talked a bit much but watching EVA is truly an experience. Btw i totally forgot we have the same birthday, silly me =_=
Super late but Happy Birthday to you too 🎉

Ayy thanks!!＼(^o^)／

Same, idk if i'd wanna invest in one tho. If anything i'd like something on which i could take notes on for class as well as read

Yeah! My discord is Ai#1996 (I'm pretty active when I have free time, a little less now)

That's nice to hear! I definitely have heard it's easier to watch, will let u know what I think when I get to it

Oh for Angel Beats and Charlotte, I realized I watched them a while back (before I made a mal) and never put them on my list. But yes haha, it was very boring and just wack. Had a bit of potential with the premise but didn't go anywhere with it

Lmk when u do read those! I've been meaning to read 1984 for a while. I used ti download, but now I prefer physical copies. But i only want to buy physical if I like it so it makes me too picky to try new books haha. So i'd say I switch between then, but physical. Pdfs r nice to read on my phone now.

Sorry for the late response btw, school and work stuff are keeping me busy these days

Edit: Noticed you watched Sarazanmai, how was it?

oh that makes more sense lmao

I really liked it! It was so cute and funny, I can't wait so see where the anime goes.

Yes! I really like reading, but seems I have so little time these days :(. I'm currently reading Dune, gotten midway and it's becoming a new favorite. Last one I read was the 7 husbands of Evelyn Hugo, which I also loved and it ended on my favorites. My other favorites are: Demian, The Picture of Dorian Gray, Crime and Punishment, No Longer Human, Parable of the Sower. After Dune I have a lot of sci-fi books I wanna read, some historical ones. I'm having a bit of trouble getting into fantasy recently, tho it was my favorite back in middle school LMAO (harry potter, percy jackson). Wbu? I like to read a few pages in between school work or at the end of the day, sometimes I read slowly because of that

Yeah I love the messages! Especially about the internet vs the real world. The plot is definitely hard to make sense of lmao. With shows like sel, I find the plot to be messy/flawed so I tend to focus more on how it portrays the themes and characters instead. I really like where it went with the ending. Loved how it tied everything together thematically and for Lain's character, her growth was nice to watch at the end when she realized the importance of a real body and how she could still be with her friend despite lacking it.

Enjoy ur summer break! I have a while until mine starts sadly.

I'd like to understand it better but I'm too stubborn to rely on an analysis video so I plan to rewatch it again at some point lol. I usually can't form a connection with the series I watch when I rely on analyses so I avoid them

Oh that's fine, 10 days isn't that much anyways. Hope your classes are going well

Have you been watching anything else interesting lately?

Yeah it makes a really great rewatch! I like the original show's ending a lot, especially when I first watched it, even if it felt really incomplete. I really like how it drives in Shinji accepting himself and his flaws. That's why I like to think of the movie as a continuation, adding on to that and completing it, since it still has that same idea with some similar dialogue but connects the other characters into it and adds more with the ideas of human connection it brought up in the episode with Kaworu. Tho there are a few parts in the original ending that I felt was very rushed and not delivered the best.

Thanks! I wanted to update it to match the new pfp! I really like Lain so far (the music and message, as well as Lain are great), tho the plot can be messy it seems. How was it rewatching?

It's alright, school is starting to get really busy these coming weeks for me too so I'll probably be less active for a bit. Anyways, take ur time, I like hearing from u when u do reply! Hope u got to enjoy ur holiday, and good luck with classes!

haha no worries! what classes are you taking? is it going any better yet? i'll have to check those out, thanks so much :)
