There's nothing much of what happened this month so here's just a dump of photos.
And oh. I had an eye check-up, and apparently, my eye ulcer came back. Then, I had some foot issues again.
I also started a one2one again after so many years.

What an anime. It gave us a different take on a Fantasy anime. When I first watch this show, all I can feel is, this is a Slice of Life anime in a Fantasy world. But after few more episodes, it feels like I'm watching me, playing my favorite fantasy game but I already finished the major quests and just completing the side missions.
Freiren is a lovable character. She's calm and soft spoken and as an Elf, he has al the time in the world. What I like about the concept of the show is how Freiren often look back in a day where she had this memorable adventure. Her experiences and her battles. Also the friends that she gained.
Her life may be long but it feels like it's a sad one. People that she encountered will pass away sooner, their lifespan is like only a year to her lifespan.
This gave me some thoughts to ponder. Life is short, we better live with each other in harmony. Specially with your love ones.
Anyway, the season didn't end with just that, it slowly transition to the typical fantasy show that has battles and competition but with a touch of the Frieren brand.
This is one of the best shows that I watched recently.

This is probably the first Manwha that I'm aware of that I watched. And one of the most anticipated show in recent memory and I can understand why. The show is good, it has a really good watchability and it's fun.
The story revolves around a weak guy inside this world where random dungeon exists. Those dungeon should be completed to avoid risk to the world. Now, there are hunters whose primary job is to hunt down dungeons, there are several levels of hunters depending on the level of monsters in the dungeon.
Now, our hero is just weak. But a certain incident changed his life.
His journey is fun and exciting. There are lots of things that he cannot explain but as he levels up, we slowly begin to understand what's happening. Reveal after reveals and we are on the end of the show. I'm not that invested enough to hop in the manga but I'll definitely wait for the next season.

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆
Mr. Villain's Day Off. This show just arrived out of nowhere. It's a recommendation from a friend. The title of the show is fun and intruiging. It assumes that being a villain is like a normal day job of 9-5.
The show is soothing. A fun and slow show about a day in a life of a villain. On the job, he's a monster but on his day off, well, he's as innocent as it can be.
The journey is cute and really funny. The mind behind this show is a genious and has a really playful mind.
You should watch this show if you're feeling stressed out or something. It's that comforting.

I watched this show somewhere in the middle of the release. I don't have any idea what is this about. All I know if that this is a Slice of Life and it's good. So, I joined the fun and right off the bat, they showed us that the story will revolve around a girl with a hearing disability.
I was impressed upon knowing this. There was this moment of realization about the title of the show. It's a love story connected through signs.
It's a good show. They introduced us to the world of sign languages, if you pay close attention you might pick up some important signs that you can use in the future. They show us a daily life and stuggle of someone with this specific disability.
The story and phasing is nice and slow and I enjoy it. I was rooting for her friend instead of the actual partner but it is what it is.
You look so happy when you're with Itsuomi-san. It's gotta be love! You're like a different person from yesterday! You were glowing!

If you're given a chance to start over. To build yourself up in this specific point in time to make things right and change the course of your life. Would you do it?
In this life, you only get one chance. Things that you did, will have a ripple effect to the future. And for those missed opportunities, those unsaid feelings. How would you deal with it if the previous opportunity is actually the last one?
This is what the show is about. A lesson that you'll learn towards the end.
I watched this show due to an indirect recommendation by a friend. It's about going back to high school to change some decisions made at the time. But you will not go back in time, you will be in the present time with a new identity and body. You will enter high school with the knowledge that you have now and will try to learn as much.
I enjoy the show so much. It has high watchability and what's happening is interesting to me. A highly recommended show - underrated for sure.
The ending has a heartwarming and satisfying feeling.

Bungo Stray Dogs is one of the animes on my watchlist that's been sitting for awhile. So I decided to start the series and see what's the hype is about.
I started it with a great expectation, it's been recommended by my friends for awhile, but upon watching the first few episodes, it felt like it's a generic story.
Dazai is probably the famous one, way more than the protagonist, Atsushi. But my favorite is the smart one named Ranpo. He's not an ability user but he feels like one due to his insane observation skill.
They were amazing moments in the show, there are memorable fight scenes and plot twist. The plot twist in the end is unexpected for me. An overall good show. If you're into investigation type of show, you might enjoy the later season, I promise.
