Duration: 23 min

Genres: Romance, School, Shoujo

Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

This anime started strong. Of course, the hook is gotta be that. It's a story about a shy boy and an outgoing girl with tons of experience in love. While the boy had none. 

It's a usual story, but what's interesting is the battle on their heads. The girl didn't really understand love until now. The boy never had any relationship in the past and he feels like he can't offer anything. 

They struggle because the girl experienced it all and she does not have any "firsts" with the actual man that she loves. 

The story is interesting, there's drama and conflict. You'll enjoy the ride if you wanna chill. My only issue is the ending. They never gave us that experienced episode.

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You

The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, REALLY Love You

Date aired: Oct 08, 2023 to Dec. 24, 2023

Duration: 23 min

12 Episodes

Genres: Comedy, Harem, Parody, Romance, School, Seinen

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

When I heard about this show, all I could say was that it was ridiculous. It's gonna be insane. That's a 100 and all I can think about is how would they pull this off. I can only imagine the conflict.

And I'm that kind of anime fan, I sometimes watch really stupid anime such as this but oh boy. The show did not disappoint. It's hilarious and it's full of fan service. If you thought that this was going to be serious, hell no. This show is a parody of all the harem shows ever created. The 100 will probably symbolize each and every element that harem anime uses. 

Don't get me wrong. The anime is nice. I waited for it every week. I love the twists and turns, how they interact with each other and the reason for the 100 soulmates is really stupid and we can't complain about it at all. 

Would I recommend it? I guess. Would you like it? Probably. But it's worth considering if you want to have some laughs. 

Oh, before I forget. The character design and style are good. I can see a lot of waifu material among them. We only have 6 girlfriends and it's already insane. Can't wait for the future seasons.

Rurouni Kenshin

Rurouni Kenshin (2023)

Duration: 22 min

24 Episodes

Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Shounen, Super Power, Isekai

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Rurouni Kenshin is one of the iconic animes back in the day. We know the show as Samurai X and it was an amazing childhood, all we wanna do back then was to fight as Saiyans or wield our swords to be crowned as Battusai. 

I'm glad that they remade this as as much as I wanted to rewatch this, I don't have any plans yet. When they announce this, I know that this is my only chance. 

I don't remember much from the anime back then, I only remember a few characters so while watching the show, it feels like I'm watching a new anime with familiar characters. 

It's a 24-episode remake and I watch it regularly every week since its release in July I truly enjoy the show. I love the dynamic of the characters and of course, Kenshin's language.

I guess what I'm expecting in the show is the iconic fight between Kenshin and Shishio Makoto, so I'm really excited for the second season. They already tease us in the last episode.

Tokyo Revengers: Tenjiku-hen

Tokyo Revengers Season 2 Part 2

Date aired: Oct 04, 2023 to Dec 27, 2023

Duration: 23 min

13 Episodes

Genres: Action, Drama, Romance, Shounen, Supernatural

Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆

I just finished this show yesterday and always needed to remember how good this show is. I almost missed the previous season for some reason but once I caught up. I immediately hop into the current one. 

This season is overall, good. I like the pacing, I like the storyline, and the revelation in each episode, the protagonist is still somehow annoying. There are times that you feel lost on what's happening. Thinking who is this guy again?

The build-up is really nice. I love how Mickey returned to the battle which was almost lost by Takemichi. I love how they elevate the risk. The show is becoming a biker gang to a real gangsta with guns and killing. - which they didn't downplay. The killing is such a big deal. 

I don't know what will happen next but I'm unsure about the ending. Is it an unsatisfactory win?

This is November

November happened pretty fast. So, here's a quick recap of what happened. 

Victory Alabang 25th

Yes, Victory Alabang celebrated its 25th anniversary as a church and there's no other way we can celebrate but together, with fellow believers who were blessed by each other. 

We sang and shouted. We praised and felt blessed. 

And we receive a commemorative card that we can use for discounts in several shops around Alabang. How cool.

There are also food trips after the celebration. There's a food stab, so the food is basically free. You just add cash if it exceeds the amount on the stab.

Year End Party

I also attended our company's year-end party in Shangrila. It's my first time there and this is my first and probably the last year-end party! Hahaha

Me and my fellow teammates. 

And, I met Joan. 

VG Christmas Party

We also had a simple yet fun and meaningful Christmas party with our Victory Couples Group.

Birthday

I don't have pictures but I celebrated a simple birthday here in our home with some caldereta, igado, pasta and graham. 

Here's my wife's birthday gift to me. This has been on my cart for a while, and I know for a fact that I can't afford it. But God gave me a very beautiful and loving wife, she gave me this. 

Then a quick station update. 

And oh, I now have a mini studio for my figure photography. I'm actually having fun. 

Wife and doggie sighting

Yes, another station update, now with my highly elevated table. 

Monthly Shiro

Fin.

And the last week of the month is my wife's 9th month as a pregnant person. We have purchased tons of stuff for the baby. We have the crib, the shirts, and diapers and we got almost everything that we needed for a newborn. I'm honestly excited and afraid at the same time. 

The next few days will be very difficult and different. She can give birth anytime from now. We're praying for safe delivery for both Jas and our baby.

Hunter x Huntner

Hunter x Hunter (2011)

Date aired: Oct 02, 2011 to Sep 24, 2014

Duration: 23 min

148 Episodes

Genres: Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Martial Arts, Shounen, Super Power, Isekai

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆

This anime is really popular and I don't understand why. I love Yuyu Hakusho, and I saw where Hunter x Hunter got the inspiration from and I don't like it back then. It feels like it's a cheap copy of a classic anime. Then, years later I found out that it's actually from the same Mangaka. Again, I didn't watch it because it feels like lazy writing as it has the same four guys from Yuyu Hakusho. 

But, I saw this Tiktok where the host asked several Otakus about their "best anime of all time", it's mostly Shonen and there's this particular guy who picked Hunter x Hunter over Attack on Titan. Which blew my mind. It has to be really good if you're picking it against arguably the best work of fiction. 

So, I immediately added Hunter X Hunter to my watch list and actually the next one in line. I just finished it and it's a masterpiece. At first, it really feels like a classic shonen, which is nice and expected. What I didn't expect is the lack of fight scenes, not really lacking-lacking but the show is interesting without fighting left and right. 

And when there's a fight scene, expect it to be good. It's not just random punching and kicking, every move has its meaning and explanation. Aside from the action-packed fights, you'll be amazed by the amount of thought given to the individual scenes. 

It has memorable characters and it's easy to love them all. Every arc gets me really excited, the Chimera Ant Arc is the most controversial in the series. It's the longest arc in the anime and some called it the best arc in anime and some just don't like it at all. 

And I get both sides. There are good and bad parts but It's an experience. The ending of the arc feels weird but satisfying, you might complain about getting all this build-up just for this peaceful ending. For me, it's wonderful. Really unexpected but it's a  beautifully written ending.

Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

I've been hearing about this anime for a while and I just brush it off. It just not appealing to me. But, It gets recommended multiple times on different platforms as I look for an anime to watch. So, I gave it a shot. I should have hopped in sooner. 

This show is really nice. It's a story of a classic arranged marriage and some uncertainty. The plot is the usual, but they executed it really well. The pacing is slow and steady, but it's not boring. It has elements of fantasy and superpower, which I believe are unnecessary to the plot. But a nice element to be added to the show. 

I love the drama, you'll feel the emotions and it's a satisfying comeback. The dynamic of the main characters is really lovely. I can't put it into words but I can assure you that this is a must-watch anime this year.
