Welcome to my profile, I'm Jake xD
My job: being an over worked and under paid otaku
Will give every anime a try, but only will add in on MAL if the anime leaves an impression on me.
Yu Yu Hakusho and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is my most favourite anime, othough MAL doesn't count it as anime, so according to MAL my most favourite anime is Yu Yu Hakusho.
Chainsaw Man
Chainsaw Man is my most favorite manga currently, it is an amazing story!
Media I think should be considered anime and more.
Here are shows that I consider anime but MAL doesn't, if Donghua can be considered anime then IMO so should these!
RWBY 10/10 it's first 3 seasons are made by a japanese person!
Avatar the Last Airbender 10/10, Avatar the Legend of Korra 8/10 Avatar was made by Studio MIR and Pierrot which are Japanese studios, and also Moi animation, a studio made in Korea, that worked with Madhouse!
Astro Boy film, 10/10 While I don't necessarily think this should be considered anime, it did start out as an anime, so I felt like rating it here!
My Daemon 10/10 a co op from Thailand and Japan, i reckon it should be a donghua at the most tho, it reminded me of Pokemon and Ajin combined!
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off 10/10 it is made by Science Saru! Also a Japanese studio!

I finally started re zero again. Im going in with S1.
I went over your profile. It looks real good. Liking the vibe with the favs.
I started dungeon meshi. Its hard to get into it but its definitely a good show. Though I struggle to continue with it.
I have been re watching films and playing games on my old console for nostalgia and it pays well.
Been busy with a bunch of things but I guess that is just how life is gonna be from now on.
I did not know urusei yatsura would be that atop your list!!
Life has changed drastically, but I remembered to get back to you. I would not want to lose my only pen-friend.
A lot has happened on my end irl, but for the greater gist of it, life has been going in a direction.
I joined the 1k club. I was 990+ in december and only joined 1k recently hahaha. Time for anime has been short as well.
But I have been re watching many shows so my re watch count is slowly but steadily going up. We are currenty watching AOT so that is another re watch for me.
Im also planning to start watching various movies with my spouse since she has almost no exposure to the film media. Im planning on introducing her to the superhero universe bit by bit since they are culturally important to know.
From your message it seems I missed your birthday. Sorry and a Belated Happy Birthday !!
As for getting back to your message,
did episode 9 of Re zero (not sure if it came out) please you back ?
IM keeping myself away from it because I want to binge it. I will do when season 3 part 2 piles up !!
Thank you for your thoughts on Look Back, I will be looking forward to it.
So you think My Hero Academia will get a sequel ?
I will wait for the anime personally and start with S1 with partner.
and ahhh, you did not like the jjk ending. Im saved from the spoilers so I dont know but knowing me, I have a hunch I may not like it too. Maybe !
will talk about it when the time comes hopefully....
as far as oshi no ko ending goes, I think I was spoiled and if that is true and what I assume for the ending to be, then ye, I guess it was not bad.
and oh, a beast boy cartoon, interesting.
I loved the dues ex machina part of slime S2 alot, because I was heavily and emotionally invested and I wanted that to happen. But well, Im glad you got back to liking it, Slime is one of my fav isekais and its good shot, I hope we get more seasons. I have yet to watch S3 tho. Too occupied.
As for Blue Exorcist, I wanted to give it a second try but looking at my life, I think I may have to abandon that wish.
You watched the Kengan anime ? the CGI one ? why ? did you go for the anime after the manga ?
I was so happy for the return of edolas !!
I still have not watched it but I was happy !!
(my friend gave me a commentary each ep so I knew the edolas guys came back and the kind of stuff they did)
all in all, how is your present time going ?
Im sorry I have been busy. I have been more preoccupied with my MS than I was when I was on job. Its tough but its fun because of the healthy challenges that are pushing me forward.
Im also getting married soon and have been busy in the preparations for that. Yes!! I finally was able to win the war on my end to have her family bend to our will of letting the girl be free and be married to me. Its a long and troublesome story and there still is a lot of problems associated with it but things are looking good so this month and the next one are gonna be even more packed.
Hence my disappearance. My anime watching has been reduced to a micro level. I started FLCL a few days ago, and Im loving it. Even though its just 6 eps, im going slow due to routine.
For manga, in bits I read a shoujo manga called tsuiraku JK to Haijin. Its probably gonna become on of my favorite shoujo mangas tbh. You may not like it though since its a teacher student romance and I think you are sensitive to those themes regarding the age aspect etc.
I read you said re zero S3 is going to be 50+ eps in cours. I doubt that. ( I REALLY WISH THOUGH ) but I am not watching S3. Im waiting for it to finish so I can binge. The weekly stuff in my current routine will just ruin the fun.
Nega Posi anglar had a decent first ep but it did not motivate me to watch it further after the second and third ep. Might have to take that one slow.
All the other shows you mentioned are ones im hyped about and im glad you are liking them cause it means i may like them too.
As for bleach, I dropped it. I just felt irritated by it. Its probably my bias. The manga arc was terrible and the anime is correcting it and the anime has some of the best direction of all time so that is great. Its just, I LOATHE the whole thousand year arc premise. From the get go it felt like the most uncontrolled wild and useless premise. The insane lack of power scaling ruined it even more when captains are gettings their asses kicked by mobs and ichigo comes to save the day. I get the main character bias but the disrespect to the rest of the soul society just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Especially with how the 0 squad was handled.
Good to know that you will be liking the one piece remake arc. I for one am going to skip, I am yet to even catch up on egg head island arc. But given the fan you are for one piece, it would have been a shame had you skipped it so im glad you are liking it.
As for the gay thing, when i first read the message, I was about to mention that you probably are mistaken and are super imposing some concepts but glad you realized it and all that. .....
I hope you find a good partner (lol, i hope you get a good tinder algorithm)
I had given up on Blue exorcist long ago. and the faint hope that I should get to it was snubbed by you when you said its useless.
As for uzumaki. I heard the first ep was phenomenol. But the rest of it was crap. I have yet to watch it myself so cannot really form an opinion as of yet.
Though your feeback act as godd buffer for when i do watch it so thank you.
Also, as for DB Daima, I dont even consider it DB. I believe its non existent and in my mind it does not exist so im just aversive to it.
For spice and wolf, I was waiting for post marriage time so i can watch with my wife (along with all the other shows, hence why i was aiming at shows i thought only i would like, the elitist kinda ) so ye, Will be watching that with her later on. But im glad they worked it up and made it good. I hope i enjoy it because i did not like the original very much due to the pace.
I'm really sorry for disappearing,
I haven't read your messages but I knew you would have sent some,
I will get back to you soon.
A bunch of my friends told me how awesome Re zero S3 was looking. Hyped me up so much, !! Ima wait till it ends to binge from S1 to S3 in one go.
DanDanDan is also a show that I had very high anticipation for, looking forward to watching it in the future
(since I do not have much time to watch anime these days, im only going to pick up the slow ones, liking the fishing one and maybe the new bleach along with some movies from my ptw and a show called jormungdand or something like that. Also gonna start mononoke)
I read your thoughts on the first ep of Ranma 1/2, made me so happy. I hope and i am glad rumiko sensei's work are geting this much attention, Imagine getting an inuyasha remake next hahaha, that would be dope. One of my first very first anime.
IM going to skip on trillion game, gave that vibe and ye, but still do let me know if it holds some promise,
I was going to skip on the fishing anime too but seeing your message made me realize, hmmm, might have potential, so i will give it a shot and try to watch it weekly.
the 365 days anime and amagami sisters were shows i saw popping up on crunchyroll and seeing their description, i knew they were for me so yup, will definitley be looking forward to them
as for .... blue box, its a show i was waiting for way long. Before an anime was even in sights, i had hopes it would come one day. SO ye, highly anticipating it because i heard its super good.
And giji was a short manga, some 80 chapters that too of only 8 eps, so while a few parts were skipped, it wasnt the anime fault. The pacing was somewhat similar in the manga too i would say. Unlike horimiya, it was different because the author went with an approach similar to a 4 koma anime / manga.
I would recommend you finish it, because dropping at 8 ep seems like kind of a waste.
and ahhhh, its sad to hear about your relationship, would you say it was your partner and lack of compatibility or being in a relationship in general that was the problem ?
Its been a long while, almost a month. I left my job and started uni again. Doing my MS. Its too tough and has sucked away all my free time. Life feels more hectic then when it was doing a job.
Giji was fun. A bit different from what I imagined but it was very natural. The script writing was very good but the execution of the overall vibe was poor. I understand budget issues but still, it felt like a waste of such an amazing potential. I still enjoyed the show but because of my bias, i had higher hopes.
as for isekau suicide squad. Guess ima pass on it for the time being. Not really in the mood to watch DC villains do predictable stuff in an isekai.
but im happy wit studio has been getting various projects, kinda like a revival.
Also, i dont recognize any of the cartoons you mentioned. Im assuming thet are the newer generation cartoon. Kinda not interested in them.
I finished the anime for kingdom and hajime
now, im thinking of finishing mononoke and illusive samurai
how have you been this month with your job, diet, love and life in general ?
I was expecting to hear you say more about the babylon thingy given i shared some context.
and as far as the uncle and childhood thing for magase is concerned, i think he explained it pretty clearly as to what the problem was.
So, thinking that it was pedo ish is kinda missing the point I would say,
but its fine if you did not like the show much.
I started Giji btw,
personally, I was a bit let down. I wish it had the production like that of dangers in my heart,
Hmmm, Babylon, I had a feeling you would complain about the magase thingy. But, I wonder why you would say that. Pedos ? Magase isn't a minor so not sure why that came up but let's dive a little deep into who magase ai is.
Magase ai is a symbolic figure. She isn't a mere human. The anime never elaborates on it in detail but it's for us to understand
The anime is called Babylon because of a historic reference to a folk tale, religious tale of whatever. The whore of Babylon.
of Babylon
Babylon the Great, commonly known as the Whore of Babylon, refers to both a symbolic female figure and a place of evil as mentioned in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament. Her full title is stated in Revelation 17:5 as "Mystery, Babylon the Great, the Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth"
Magase ai is a manifestation of evil desires that well within humans. While one aspect of society in the anime talks about death and suicide, basically, of despair, why should humans even live when they don't want to. The other aspect deals with pleasure. The intense pleasure that magase envokes through her evil temptations are too high for a human body to bear. In short, pleasure at extreme maximum levels also lead to death
Despair and pleasure both leading to death simply gives us a beautiful controversy that be it either, death is inevitable and humans should live their life like they are supposed to live.
I can go in detail if you want but I think the point I want to elaborate on is discussed. So ye. This philosophical aspect of Babylon is what makes me love the show and I love how sheer pure raw evil magase ai is, making her one of my favorite villains.
I relate Babylon to our society
Magase exists in reality everywhere in our desire for pleasure
The anime simply exonorates and examplifies the process to show us the value of life, death and the human body.
Dungeon meshi. This name..... Everyone has been loving this show around me. Legit everyone.
At this stage, it's fate asking me to watch it. Tho I will hold for now and postpone it for a bit later but will definitely get to it. Ima see for myself what's so special about a cooking show.
Texhnolyze was amazing. Though I am not sure if it's the best show for a re watch, but nevertheless, the direction, execution and concept of the anime was amazing. It was a show based on nihilism but it was done right.
It's dry and slow and has its own vibe but it was still a damn good show to watch.
The names for the next season you mentioned
Damn, banger after banger .... Those are some big names. Tho sadly, very sadly, I doubt I will get to most of them. After all, that would require me to watch their prequels which I have planned to do so but for later.
I wasn't aware beastars even got a S3 announced
I'm happy it's getting one
And link click getting a new season too, that's nice
The obscure movies I watched .....
Jarinko chie
And a compilation of three short films under the title on mal as "memories"
Jarinko chie was a classical film but it was beautiful. Simply amazing. Must watch if you haven't
Memories was a good interesting and food for thought time kill.
And terminator zero
I didn't even know his existed hahaha
I have been away from the franchise for more than a decade now
Your reviews was insightful
But I think ima let this beautiful franchise lay simply as a childhood memory for now and let it be.
After all, there is already too much at my plate
Thank you for the summary on the Kimi ni todoke. Now, when i watch it, I will know what to expect and till where to expect. That will help me enjoy it more because I know I will easily get upset about the smallest of things given this show is one of my special ones.
Oh, and thank you for the alya thingy as well, I was worried there for a moment because I would have been upset, real upset if I had no means to understand the gist of the stuff that was spoken. btw, im seeing alot of memes and stuff about the sister of the mc, more so even then alya herself. Somehow, from the memes, its like alya is the side character. Obviously the anime would be different but what's your take on the immouto character?
and ahhhh, giji harem's manga ended. Given how long usual rom coms are, spanning over years.... I imagined it to be like that but seems I can enjoy a short lived bittersweet time with it when it comes. Uffff, im so excited and hyped for it.
I will give nier a try in the future,
as for delico's nursery,
I wasnt even sure such an anime existed let alone its airing. Damn. I just searched it up and seems nice. Let me know a little more about it when you watch so I can see if its a show I wanted to add to my ptw, because im ttrying my best to avoid clutter and am already pretty cluttered.
I started Kingdom, actually finished S1,
Started texhnolyze, liking it alot so far,
might watch some obscure movies after that,
before going for kingdom S2 and hajime no ippo S2.
When it comes to Babylon, if you feel something off, do let me know. I would like to debunk it.
Time patrol bon..... Ahhhh, I saw Netflix upload it quite a while ago. Might give it a shot. After all time travel and unique does feel good.
What did you not like about genshiken ?
I'm glad you liked giji harem. I'm super excited for it myself.
Zatch bell, hmmm, haven't heard of it before. As for toriko. Ahhh, a ded franchise, given it's popularity back in the days, I doubt people even remember it. I personally was not fond of the concept so I didn't give it a try.
As for Ayla
I have seen the dub clips. They really feel passionate. It's like the voice actors did a good job fitting in the role. But .... English with anime just doesn't click for me. Not sure how the sub is but will see.
I'm not going to be watching rom anime for a while now so .... Ye
Another friend of mine recommended magical girl and evil lutienant .... So it's in my ptw
As for tower of god, I always feel confused if I should watch the anime or read the manwha
Also, is the magical girl evil lt. The anime with 12 min ep ?
Also, Kimi ni todoke .... Does it have like an hour long ep ? That's a relief
Someone told me it has only 6 eps I think and I was so sad to hear that.
As for the Sawako thing, it's depicting an older time (before 2010) and it was more modest I guess and given the shy girl Sawako is, she was just being humble for a 17 year old girl
Also ..... Are you saying they don't subtitle the Russian parts ? That's messed up. Noooo, I want to know what she says...... But tbh, from what I see.... The imouto has garnered more popularity than the heroine lol.
Did you see the look back film ?
Was it good ?
I haven't really watched more of FT. I'm waiting for it to pile up. Given waiting a week for one ep will be too sad for me.
Why did you drop makeine tho ? I heard good stuff about it. It's the girlfriend losing anime right ?
Also, giji harem .... They adapting the whole manga ? Is the manga ended ?
And .... I'm not hoping for a sequel given the type of show it is but who knows. Aharen San got a S2. Unnamed memory and ishura which I was not expecting at all got so let's be hopeful
About the thing you were talking about for Kimi s3 .... What part was it ?
You can share since I have read the manga. Was it about ayane and kento ?
Also, shy.... You were close to dropping it, I thought it was good ? I mean I heard it was unique.
As for nier automata..... Hmmm, would you recommend the show like in, it's enjoyable ?
I haven't played the games nor am I interested but for the anime I'm just pulling a blank.
I liked your way of sorting all shows in comparison to each other.
Thank you for the dead dead demons heads up. Guess i will watch the ONA as well instead of the movies. and skip the episode 0 for later.
and, you have to give babylon a try. it might be a hit or miss but im very excited to have a discussion with you on it.
i finished season 2 of genshiken as well and oh boy, it was such an enjoyable journey. Truly an anime made well. There is a genshiken second generation too but ima keep that for later now.
I started kingdom and finished aoyama kun is clean freak which was a low budget show but had a good comedy.
I personally enjoyed great pretender's sequel. I personally thought it was a prequel until i started it and was like, wait, its a sequel, damn. I shared the same thought that it was not needed but nevertheless it was a fun vibe so i enjoyed the show with the different new characters.
and im glad giji harem caught your attention,
i have extreme high hopes of it but im going to put it for later
(and hahaha, i kinda felt a similar issue at first when it came to pesdo harem, but thanks to crunchyroll it was easy to see that ahhh it was called giji as well,
and rip, i spelled pseudo wrong again so cant blame you either given im a content writer doing this mistake !!
i heard good stuff about the ayla anime too so do let me know your thoughts on it,
I will keep that one for later as well,
guess im not watching any seasonal this season.
Im sorry for the delay which was more than the usual. I was busy with stuff. One after another. At first, there was a trip to the village, then followed my job where the burden increased suddenly but i was happy to be engaged, then followed my termination because some BOD (board of members) thought i misbehaved with him in the meeting. My whole team along with my team lead was within that meeting. No one thought anything happened. Heck, no even said anything during the meeting. I was not even aware something happened. Only after i got home, i saw a mail which said i had been terminated with effect immediately. To me it was a shock because the reason was misconduct and i was so unsure as to what i even did. My team lead at that time was unaware too. The next day i went to the office to inquire where the BOD member wont even meet eyes and the other members asked me to leave the office for a bit. One of them called me later for a one on one meeting. He was unrelated to the issue but said the person in charge did not want to meet me. I asked and he told me the meeting misbehave thing. I simply clarified my stance, gave them my end of the year, told him to pass the message to the other BOD to do his job without biases, and ye, I left,
So it was kinda hard for me because I really needed cash by September. I saved a good amount but more wouldn't have hurt given i could have worked till augist to get two more salaries. Anyways, it is what it is, then i got busy at home stuff and so on,
finally today, i got the opportunity to open up my PC.
Starting from your first message. Thank you for the detailed reason as to how you ended up where you are. Your journey is more tough than i would have imagined. Its nice that you get to do what you like but the dangers be scary so take extra care for yourself. I hope the stitches you mentioned did not leave a scar.
It was very sad to hear that your mother did not stood up for you, tbh that was low.
and, that bookshelf you made, i bet it would be an awesome feeling to look at it.
MY favorite thing of the whole message was your favorite act. YOu said you love Sanding. The reason you gave was just .... it sounds simple but to me it was kinda like an awe struck moment. Something i never imagined. Gave me a different perspective. Usually stuff that makes me look different at things is what drives me so thank you.
As for fairy tail. I was so excited. I tried to watch the episode as it aired. Simulcast. But crunchyroll in my area did not upload it. I tried vpn and stuff etc but nothing worked (wanted to play it on my tv) .... RIP. Then a friend told me muse has it on yt. So i was 30 min late but i watched it. And you worded it perfectly. Same animation, comedy, adventure, etc .... its like fairy tail never ended.
(I wished the animation would have been slightly better but rip) IT still brought so many wonderful feelings. There is a mountain of things to complain about but i love it and enjoy it by heart and its an amazing feeling.
I was excited for suicide squad anime but somethin within asks me to leave it for later so i shall do that.
Im glad urusei yatsura got a good ending. Im looking forward to it,
As for kino, its one of the oldest shows in my ptw so im glad to hear the remake holds potential.
Bartneder was something i enjoyed alot. It felt very fleshed. As someone who directly jumped into the franchise with this anime, i had no complains but maybe from your perspective, there might be issues.
about salad bowl, hmmm, i can understand you dropping it, i was surprised at myself for liking it but it is what it is. I gave it a 6/10 but i enjoyed it nevertheless. It had a charm to it. As for the ecchiness, tbh, it kinda lacked that aspect. Even the animation kinda slowed down in the later half of the show.
Most of the anime you mentioned are stuff i will probably hold off on watching directly this season, but it helped me get a picture of some good shows to add to my list for later. Thank you.
I want to ask you, they added 3 films and an anime for dedede destruction witht he same cover. whats the deal about that. Is it like alternate version, if yes, what's better ?
And some new code geass thingy came out ?
I hope you enjoy your mecha. Personally not fond of it even tho its kinda like an otoko no roman (man's romance)
As for me, I just rewatched babylon. Was reminded why i love the series so much. Its so good. Definitely one of the best psychological shows out there.
I caught up on hajime no ippo s1 and the sequel films, taking a break before starting season 2,
finished a drama sports called "stars align" It started of amazingly but it kinda lost its charm in the later half, from a 8/10 it became a 6/10.
I also started Ballroom e youkoso, but its super hard to watch. My stomach churns when i try to watch it. Its a psychological problem of my own tbh. Its a good anime so i dont want to drop it but i have forced myself for over 2 weeks now but cant get past ep 4.
Next im going to watch the sequel to great pretender and an anime called genshikin. Its a 2004 anime about anime culture so its an otaku parody apparently. I will let you know more when i start it.
As of now, i havent started any seasonal anime. Tho a show called psedo harem caught my eye. I would like to binge it tho later on. It seems my cup of tea. I hope it does not disappoint. There also the Ayla or the russian girl anime. Would be a cliche time pass but i enjoy that (at times) so will keep it for later for such times as well.
Can you tell me about the airing anime that you are watching these days,
Which one looks promising that you can recommend me for this season, I don't have to watch them asap but add to my ptw, but I don't wanna add cluster so looking forward to seeing what would be worth it
I'm sure the change is impressive in the 10 days.
If I can feel it just from a message, I'm sure it would be significantly felt in your own life.
Keep it up with the diet and sleep. I read and the changes you brought are a great step for an improvement. I'm also glad you were able to save money.
Also, Thank you for telling me about a Joiner. What brought you to this field, btw? It seems like an interesting profession. And is it dirty because of all the saw dust?
also, are there any risks for injury and stuff like that? What's your favorite type of thing to work on in this field. Have you made custom furniture for yourself yet?
Btw, Salad bowl started very meh but somehow i got attacked to it by the end of the season. It was a really fun experience for a slice of life show. The characters were really fun in their own way. I wont mind a seaosn 2. While i gave it a 6, I enjoyed it for what it was, unlike other shows that started good but went downhill.
The problems you shared with me sounds tough. Have you got yourself checked with a psych for the sleep thingy. Its not severe but could become so later. As a student of psych, I think there must be some hidden manifestations that are stopping you. I would recommend talking and taking advice from a professional on this note. Also, just as a precaution, try to avoid screen and gadgets when you cannot sleep. Before your sleep time, atleast give 1 hour of pause. And if you are bored and cannot sleep as would be in the initial days, read a book or something but try to avoid screens because that will make the situation pretty worse in the long term.
Im sure the sinus issue must be a real bother as well. I dont know of any suggestions on that end but I wish u luck. Also, try to take magnesium supplements, they are supposedly cheap and will help u in both fatigue and sleep in general.
What's a joiner btw? You mentioned there being a lot of dust. So is it construction related or wood work something?
As for your stress. Do you have a friend or perhaps your gf with whom you can share your daily troubles? Sharing does help in alleviating the stress even if its a little. Its a proven study so, take my word for it. You can also write a small diary or journal. Maybe do that at night and it will help u with calming down for your sleep as well.
The food thing is a real issue as well. Diet is THE most imp element when it comes to your health. But proper diet becomes expensive af. As someone who started gym and wanted to fix my diet, I realized what a strain it becomes on the pocket just to eat basic healthy food to be on the bare minimum. I cannot even imagine protien powders and such but trying to eat stuff even the bare minimum costs alot. So i can totally understand how expensive it becomes to manage proteins and vitamins which are hard to find in normal foods.
I can only recommend roastedchickpeas for they are cheap and relatively has more protein and are great for fluu (nose clearings) so ye. Other than that, try to drink milk and eat yoghurt. If possible, take more meat weekly. For breakfast you can take a tiny amount of cheese and mix with 100g of gram flour and mix in some vegetables to make a batter and cook it like an omlete and eat it. Its cheaper and should provide a decent protien especially since you arent working out to bulk or anything so should do the trick for you.
I hope you sort out things in your life, the parents thing surly would have led you to be more stress prone. I also hope and wish you luck for your job that you get a better one or get a pay raise.
Tower of fantasy made me feel like its that sorta game where you build a land and defend it with towers of all sorts to keep enemies away. Kinda like that social empire dragon city games on facebook hahaha
but it seems it has a whole lore to it....
