Weren't they just tsundere towards each other? How is that screwed up?
Don't forget Fullmetal Alchemist!
I will get around to watching it... eventually
Even when you know what's coming, it hits so damn hard.
Pinning Down Joy
Thanks for sharing. It is very cute indeed.
Also, Josei romances still make the best romance stories.
Finally finished Cells at Work!! (S2).
What are your thoughts on it?
This is one of the biggest disappointment for me, given its high rating and how much I enjoyed season 1.
In hindsight, I should have seen it coming. I have noticed that whenever a mystery anime involves

supernatural / scifi elements, especially when an antagonist has bullshit overpowered supernatural /scifi powers
I would dislike it. It was just like when I watched

Death Note and Steins;Gate.
Perhaps it's because it feels very unfair to the protagonist. Perhaps it's because I suck at playing detective as I follow the show when supernatural elements are involved. Whatever the case, this trope - and by extension, any anime that employs this trope - pisses me off.
But that's not all. It was so lame

that the villains here are just 3 losers / incels. And in the end, they nabbed one of them in the season finale by...
drumroll...
beating them in a fistfight.
W.T.F. So anticlimatic.
Now that I've recognised that this subgenre of supernatural-mystery is not for me, I'd probably just avoid them in the future - even the popular ones such as

Tokyo Ghoul and Bungou Stray Dogs.
I enjoyed Jujutsu Kaisen way more than I expected.
I admit that I am biased against battle shounen (I know it's unjust; sue me) and JJK seems like (is?) a typical battle shounen anime. I thought I would enjoy it as much as Chainsaw Man at best, so I was pleasantly surprised.
The story isn't too different from other battle shounen, but I like the characters here.
Also, even though it isn't listed with the comedy genre on AniList, it tickled my funny bone. The various comedic moments and Juju stroll segments always aligned with my sense of humour and made me laugh.
It still has your typical battle shounen tropes that annoy me though, like
The only shounen that does not follow this formula off the top of my head is

Frieren - but can it really be considered a battle shounen though?
I hope that I would enjoy season 2 as much as season 1. 9 / 10
P.S. Almost forgot to mention: Todo Aoi is based.
I have been enjoying Yukizuriman's One Night Stand lately. Each chapter is really short, and it gets updated frequently.
It's about this Power Ranger-like superhero who "defeats" (read: wins over) monsters by - as you can guess from the title - laying them. He's the embodiment of "Make love, not war".
Also, for some reason, the monsters he encountered all turned out to be ladies. Typical manga logic.
We all knew which episode would rank first, eh?

The death of a mother always hits the hardest.

I'd say it's the same reason for Oshi no Ko episode 1 and Dan Da Dan episode 7 being as acclaimed as they are.
I fucking love durians.
