@RuthisianCodex why is that? because la brava is rather young or because of something else? I thought it was great to get better info on their background
Oh the extra background is great, don't get me wrong. It's the fact that she's not only way younger than him(the way the episode shows it is as if she's still just a teenager running around with this guy. Now, given cultural differences & all that, this could be completely acceptable & no big deal where they are but for me just eh...) but obsessive relationships like that are just so unnerving because they're not built on anything positive. I mean, when she first learned about him she was in a deep depression & just grasped onto the 1st thing that looked good & became instantly obsessed & devoted herself to him. Also, the episode alludes to the idea that she stalks after her love interests, yikes! Add to that the fact that Gentle Criminal choose a life of crime because of his need for validation rather than finding some other way to get noticed & make his mark. Talk about toxic all the way around. Their bond is built & fortified by desperation.

Just watched the latest episode & geez, the relationship between Gentle Criminal & La Brava...I just don't know what to say. It's a deep bond but I'm more than a little disturbed by it.

My favorite food would have to be pizza, favorite drink is tea, and favorite snacks are International pastries or snacks.
Now, for the elaboration!
Pizza-either pepperoni or pepperoni & black olive(both homemade & with extra sauce of course)
Tea-hot tea with honey is preferable but the kind of tea really doesn't matter. Oh, I don't drink caffeine anymore so it would have to be decaf.
International pastries or snacks-things like Armenian Gata bread(it's this delicious sweet bread filled with almond paste or something...YUM!), mochi, spreads or jams for English muffins or toast, Milka bars, etc.

Speak all languages as that'd guarantee me employment as a teacher/translator and I'd be able to watch all the animes that don't have English subs
Would you rather be a bird that can't fly or a fish that can't swim?
I'd rather be a bird that can't fly because at least then I might still be able to run fast, hunt prey with talons, or sing beautifully.
Would you rather explore space or the ocean?

I'd rather know when I'd die.
Would you rather be able to speak to animals or speak all languages?

I don't think there's any? If I don't really find an anime enjoyable, I just stop watching it and forget it ever existed.
If you were given free choice on which world to reincarnate in, which anime or game world would it be?
Tough choice but right off the top of my head I'm going to go with Black Clover because I'd love to have my own grimoire!
If you had one wish that would impact today's world as a whole, what would it be?

So wait, you're telling me we have to wait until 2021 for the 2nd season!?! WTF!?!

@efaardvark looks like Hulu is the only legal streaming service in the US right now.
*sips my tropical fruit smoothie innocently while keeping my lips sealed about how I'm watching Shiki since I don't have Hulu*

Shiki is kinda slow, but probably my favorite horror series. Has some similarities to Stephen King’s Salem’s Lot
I'm just gonna put it out there that people with vivid imaginations probably shouldn't watch this show at night. And if you don't *already* have an anxiety condition...welp....
Also, it will take a few episodes to really get going but once it does, yikes!

It's super cold & rainy here & going to be like that all weekend.

An egg white omelette, a few slices of turkey bacon, a small bowl of pineapple chunks with a little cinnamon dashed in, an apple, & a big glass of milk. Full breakfasts only around here!
Tomorrow I think I'll have some fresh fruit & English muffins topped with this delicious Indonesian coconut egg spread that I found at my local International market, & some hot jasmine green tea w/honey

personally I think Charmy is great
Charmy is awesome for sure! I hope we get an episode that goes into her backstory.

I watched a video on the whole panic buying issue that touched on a point that I've considered myself: How much extra stress this is causing people on fixed incomes who can't afford to stockpile supplies. That is a completely valid point & I think it's awful that people who may only be able to buy a few items at a time aren't able to get what they need to just survive on a regular basis because of people hoarding things. The reality is that not everyone can afford to buy a month's worth of food & supplies at a time. That's why I'm glad that the stores in my area are starting to implement at least some sort of limits on how much people can buy.
And with the whole hand sanitizer issue....what good does a truckload of that stuff do someone if they're still touching other people, their faces, not covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze, not keeping surfaces they come into contact with regularly clean i.e. bedding, kitchen/school/work surfaces, electronics that they touch & then pass to other people to touch, etc., not washing their hands regularly, or not taking good care of their health, etc. ? My point is, hand sanitizer alone isn't going to stop people from getting COVID-19 so the panic buying & price gouging is ridiculous.

Just finished Paranoia Agent & now I'm getting into Shiki. I watched the 1st episode & I'm pretty intrigued so I hope it's good
If Shiki doesn't hold my interest I'll probably try Hell Girl or Death Note next.

I stopped by the grocery store after work to get some frozen fruit & salad stuff & they've had to put a limit on the cases of bottled water. A woman actually glared at me as I walked by the rapidly emptying pallets. It's like 'Listen, lady...just let me get my produce & I'll be on my way...sheesh!' Besides, I stocked up on bottled water, toilet paper, cold meds, first aide supplies, non perishable food, etc. etc. WEEKS ago when I 1st heard about this because I just had a feeling. Now did I run around giving people the evil eye while ripping packs of toilet paper from the arms of frightened mothers? Nope. Just got a little extra(meaning like 2 of each, not 10 or 20) of the items I knew I might need just to be safe. Not to mention, I live in an area where we frequently get severe weather & sometimes lose power &/or experience flooding as a result so I keep these types of things in my house on a regular basis.
The schools in my city have shut down due to someone who visited testing positive for COVID-19, so that's what all the panic is about.

Have you seen this week's episode? Seems like they are doing exactly what you asked for
Not with the ones you mentioned but still. I also thought this week's episode was quite amusing!
Just watched it and yeah, this one was cute hehe. Henry and Gordon are becoming my 2 new eccentric favorites

@Illusion of Terra hehe, yeah I tend to really get into character analysis if it's a show I greatly enjoy. Another reason I focused so much on them is because of Eri's attendance at the school event. We all know that she's got major stuff going on so for two new characters like that to be introduced at this time, it just makes me feel like somehow they would get involved with her or cause something bad to happen that involve her in some way.
And @Ohiotaku exactly, see Gentle Criminal is the one who keeps talking about how much he's aging & stuff & that just makes it creepy. If Colonel Sanders had a disgruntled, estranged brother I bet he'd look & act just like Gentle Criminal!
