This time I watched "The Wind Rises". As a biopic of some sorts it was OK. It was clearly more driven by the actual history than anything else such that time skips felt weird and the scenes had not much cohesion. The romance here had some purpose as it reflects the similar desperation in private life in comparison to the one at work.

Also I watched the first two seasons of "Food Wars". It was more of a guilty pleasure out of boredom and easy accessibility (Netflix). I feel hungry and somewhat dirty.
In a world where very well prepared food gives someone a "food-gasm" of epic proportions and where meals figuratively or literally explode all clothes away it's a wonder that there aren't any addicts (like drug addicts) and the restaurants aren't regulated as hard as pharmacies.

UPDATE:
I watched all of it! ALL OF IT

Aggretsuko Season 3 was released today and I already binged through it.
It was mostly good.
Haida's storyline was the downer for me. He found the best girlfriend that is not Retsuko and yet he still clinges to her.
That dragged down all Retsuko Plot to a level of mediocrity. It's not all bad but he is treading in one place without real development.
Maybe it's to contrast Retsuko in that regard with her own development?

I feel like I've totally skipped the hype train on Aggretsuko since the last time I recall hearing about it it was still in season 1 lmao. it looked interesting. perhaps one day I will consume the anime product.

It's a very short binge watch. I was done with Season 3 in 3 hours.
The other seasons are equally as short.
You're through all of the episodes before you know it, including the Christmas Special.

The stories are good but I admit that the art style is not everybody's cup of tea and I struggled with it on my first watch.

I'll add it to my list of I'll watch this eventually. it's on Netflix if I'm not mistaken so I guess that could also be "watch when money for Netflix"

speaking of Netflix anime I never finished BNA and I just remembered. dag nabbit. at least the second half is apparently kind of meh-diocre if I understood correctly so no great big loss

Gonna watch Wish Upon the Pleiades after work tonight because the author of Sleepless Domain loves it. She clearly knows her shit when it comes to magical girl animes--I think she said it's the best mahou anime since Madoka--so I'll put aside the mediocre reviews and the fact that it's funded by literally the Subaru car company and the main character is named Subaru and they're all riding driveshafts around. In fact, riding literal driveshafts like flying brooms is kinda rad.

It's made by Gainax. I'm sure it's at least decent.

Wait, what?

What on earth. That isn't even a metaphor. They decided to grow organic tomatoes.

The Pleiades anime is not on the internet. Gainax turned it into tomatoes.

I watched the first 14 episodes of "Great Pretender" on Netflix.
It's basically Oceans 11 with some flavor of "Catch me if you can".
I was entertained for what's worth. I realized that I'm not a huge fan of heist plots in order to get more out of it.

If nothing else, watch the ED:



They actually got The Great Pretender by Freddie Mercury for it, and the whole thing is a tribute to Freddie's cats. :3:

Great Pretender is an easy top 3 anime of 2020 for me

the thing is practically tailor made for me with its super fresh and stylish presentation, plots revolving around heists and capers, and deep dives into its cast of characters.

--

another easy top 3 is Kaguya-sama season 2.



finished that yesterday and after two seasons this show has quickly become one my faves of all time.

Comedy anime is a lot more miss than hit imo, especially when it comes to ~romantic hijinks~. Kaguya-Sama's solution is to make everyone a complete, yet wholesome, dumbass.
The humour is for the most part derived from each and everyone of them being in desperate need of getting a clue and getting over themselves.

if only they stopped and rubbed their two collective braincells together

But despite that they learn from each other, become friends and pretty much date without them knowing really.

It's endearing af.

the first season hinted that the characters had further, hidden depths to them, and that it had the writing chops to pull it off, and season 2 more than lands it.
