If you haven't tried it already, I recommend it, this demo was super cool!

The game is absolutely gorgeous and I was hooked from the start. There was an issue with my controller inputs, but a option in the settings fixed it. And honestly, the game is super fun. I didn't fully grasp the combat since I was forgetting to use some of the combos I unlocked, but I liked the way it is done with attack delaying for new combo routes.

I also thought the story is interesting with the whole invasion and gods are now silent thing. I want to see how it develops.

I've found out about the game from this video by brasilian youtuber tvPH. I have CrossCode on my library tho I haven't played it yet, but playing this demo made me want to play that now since it's from the same studio. Here's the game on Steam.

Also, the spirit capybara is cuuute!

After recovering a bit from watching The Stranger by the Shore, which I have now watched 4 times in the past 3 days, I decided to start The Summer Hikaru Died since I heard it was kinda queer.

And damn, I didn't knew anything going in, but this is genuinely great. It's only 8 episodes so far, but I was hooked from the start. The first episode left me questioning if I made the right choice because I feared I would be left with another whole in my chest, but this is different, maybe it builds to that, maybe not, but it's great either way, I really wanna see where the story goes. I really like the horror elements of it.

It reminds me a little bit of Parasyte too, which is something I was not expecting even after grasping it a bit more.

Also the queer connotation is definitely there, and I hope it is explored at least a bit further since I read somewhere that it doesn't really gets into it a lot.

In the meantime since I now have to wait for the next episode I'll start reading the sequel to The Stranger by the Shore. I just read the source of the movie, which is quite a bit different and not gonna lie, I definitely prefer the movie.

I just can't 😭

This one was on my backlog for months now, and I thought it would be a good idea to watch it this morning since I was alone at home today.

Big mistake, now I have a void in my chest and feel like I'm on the verge of crying constantly.

I'm already super gender confused and now I just want to be Mio, the sweetest boy ever 🥹

Fuck, do I feel extremely confused and lonely now. Having no queer friends sucks, I have no one to talk about this.

And I want to read the manga, but I don't think my heart can take it right now, so for the time being I'm just rotting away while I listen to some Teto songs.

I really liked the first movie, but I'm conflicted about this one. I really liked the first half, how Paul was defiant of the whole Messiah thing and seemed to genuinely want to help the Fremen in their struggle against the empire for freedom. I was genuinely surprised because I didn't expect that from the story.

Then he takes the baby worm juice, and now he's fully embracing the whole religious figure thing, is taking center stage in the Fremen struggle and is even using his family/house colonialist crest as a flag.

I thought it was gonna deconstruct the whole white savior trope, but then it ends reinforcing it? That's weird.

To be fair tho, he's being pragmatic since he can now see whole timelines of possible futures and is doing what he needs to assure it reaches the timeline where they are successful.

Well, at least I'm interested to see where it goes. Showing them resisting against the Harkonnen colonizer fucks was great tho lol.

I recently watched both and really liked it.

A friend have been recommending me to watch Solo Leveling for a while now, and despite my fears of it just being another generic ass story and protagonist, I actually enjoyed it.

The only 2 complaints I can think of right now are that the other characters aren't really that interesting outside the protagonist, so I kinda don't care about them very much, and I think not having any commentary on the very predatory capitalism showed in the story is a bit of a let down, like, the protagonist barely makes money, there's literal monopolization of portals and creation of guilds for profit seeking, yet there's 0 commentary on that, unless I missed something.

That being said, I like the protagonist, he's not an extremely evil or perfectly good guy, he's just a dude that got dragged along and have to make some though decisions here and there.

Spoiler for the end of the season

Also, at the end of the first season the dude becomes a necromancer, and I'm a sucker for necromancy, so I'm excited to see where it goes lol.

.

For Trigun, I watched the old anime a while ago, and I thought this new one would go a completely different route, but I was gladly surprised with how it turned out. I just finished watching it and I really liked it. I never read the manga so I don't know how close it is to the original story, but I was shocked with how different it was from the old adaptation. I remember a lot of people complaining about Vash's new design, but honestly the only issue I have with it is that it's a bit too simple lol, I wish his clothing was more complex/overdesigned.

Spoiler about the story

The only real complain I have with the story is that it doesn't really tries to counter Knives' narrative.

Like, he's obviously right about how the plants are used and killed by humans, but he's a genocidal manipulative race supremacist that wants to create a paradise for his species with all means necessary, and the only thing to counter his narrative is Vash saying it doesn't need to be like that and that humans and plants can coexist, but never explaining how, never addressing the issue with how plants are used and discarded.

I really hope this gets tackled in the next season, because right now it makes it seems like Knives actions and way of thinking was justified.

It's also mentioned how humans basically destroyed Earth and had to send colonizing ships to another planet, but there's no deeper conversation or commentary about how that happened or why it might happen again in this new planet, the narrative is always pointed towards the whole human race being evil and being the issue, and not the current structures that make these things happen. Seems a bit shallow to me.
