  1. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky 1 and 2 are really good if you don't mind long JRPGs! They have excellent world building and lots of rewarding sidequests. The music is really good too.
  2. I finished To Every You I've Loved Before and boy was it confusing. I'm hoping watching its counterpart movie will clear things up.

  3. I decided to try Demon Slayer and it hasn't impressed me so far. The story just doesn't engage me in any way. My friends tell me it gets good around episode 10, so I'm going to continue giving it a chance. If I still don't like the series very much I'll just drop it.
  4. I started Nana the other day. I like the dynamic between both leads so far. They contrast each other nicely while still getting along with each other. The music is pretty good too.
  5. I played some more Atelier Ryza 2. This time I stuck with watching and unlocking character cutscenes.
  6. I played some more Atelier Ryza 2 and made a good amount of progress. I also played a little Famicom Detective Club in the car while waiting for things.
  7. I’m finishing up Nichijou after taking a break from it. I’d say the first half of the anime is better, but the second half still has some great moments. The art and animation are consistently good throughout though.
  8. Cold, overcast, and it’s sprinkling a bit.
  9. I picked up Omori on the Switch and started playing it. It’s a really solid port. The backgrounds are pleasant and the touch screen controls are a nice detail.
  10. I’ve gotten back into Tales of Vesperia Definitive Edition. The combat still feels weird to me, but the story is good.
  11. I honestly think Bocchi The Rock is just decent at best. A lot of people hype it up to be among the best of what the genre offers, but I disagree. The events that happen in the show just aren't that interesting and most of the characters are quite forgettable. I vastly prefer Yuru Camp and Non Non Biyori. One of the anime I picked back up is Kimagure Orange Road. The protagonist is an immature sleaze, but the animation is quite nice and the soundtrack is corny in the best way. I can see exactly how this show ends though.
  12. I’ve been playing The Witcher 3 for the first time off and on (can’t progress in the main story currently due to a glitch). On the side I’m playing Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Narcissus, Hatsune Miku: Mega Pack, and Chaos Head;Noah. Lastly I’m replaying Pokémon Black 2 off and on.
  13. Played some Hatsune Miku Project Diva: Mega Mix and completed another sidequest on The Witcher 3.
  14. I think I just predicted a huge plot twist for Chainsaw Man. If it’s true it’ll change everything.

  15. Slightly above freezing temperatures and partly cloudy.
  16. Listening to Japanese radio stations through an international radio app is such a trip. The talk show hosts all talk a mile per minute. Music choices range from American punk to the latest J-pop (and the occasional traditional ballad). The weirdest station was one in rural Hokkaido that was nothing but religious talks about kami-Sama (God). Japan isn't a religious country, so that one really stood out.

      @Neb Yes, a Christian-specific station would be a bit rare.  The "other" category (in terms of religion) in Japan after Shinto and Buddhism is somewhat less than 10% and Christianity specifically is maybe 1-2% overall.

      Do the DJs and announcers shout a lot or speak very loudly in their speech?

  17. I swear every episode of Chainsaw Man is more insane than the last. If part 2 is as exciting as I've heard from manga readers, things will definenatly ramp up.

  18. It’s slightly below freezing and the sky is clear. The snow still hasn’t melted all the way.
  19. I didn’t game too much today. I mostly just played some Mario Kart.
  20. As much as I love Chainsaw Man, the show can get really gruesome at times. I don't know if I could've handled all the violence if it came out when I was younger...

  21. Started replaying a Pokémon Blue and got some quests done on Genshin Impact.
  22. Extremely windy. The wind is so loud that I it sounds like a howl.
  23. I loved seeing people's cosplays, even if I didn't recognize a third of them. It made me feel inspired to pick the hobby back up after several years of not doing it. With how strong the stigma towards anime and manga still is, it was nice to meet other people with the same interests! Sadly I was too nervous to say anything back to the people who approached me. Ah well, there's always next time.
