Reading: I just posted a massive collection of reviews of books I've read recently over in the Book Recommendation thread. I just finished A Clockwork Orange and it was pretty great, would recommend. I'm about to start Maze Runner due to pressure from real life friends, family, and the internet, even though some of my friends and people on chat say it's kind of just a stereotypical YA dystopian novel like The Hunger Games or something. But whatever I'm going to read it anyway because I'm not going to judge it by reviews. I like to try to go into stuff with as few preconceived notions about the quality of said stuff as possible.

Watching: Still Steven Universe, still 10/10. Also started Game of Thrones (and got completely caught up) recently-ish and it's a great series. I want to read the books at some point (I even own them) but I have a bunch of other stuff on my list first. Once summer officially begins, I might watch some more stuff (mainly a bunch of anime that people have recommended to me and I haven't got around to finishing). At this point I have a literal Google Spreadsheet of my entire backlog of media, so there's that.

Oh yeah i forgot to update this topic on the media i consumed

- ERASED, a very good anyme~ :3c. Incredibly emotion-crushing, and its ending is definitely better than Gakkou Gurashi's. Please watch. (thank yuri for the suggestion)

- Mirai Nikki. Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh. Can't say I thought it was that good - it was actually pretty exaggerated at some points - but it definitely kept me hooked and I couldn't sleep until I watched the end. I'd say it's a 7/10. Probably watch it if you want something to spend your time with.

- Started watching GoT. Currently on Season 5. 10/10, self-explanatory.

- Still watching SU. Also pretty 10/10 like usual. (if you're reading this and your name is yuri watch su while you have the chance before i myself go there and force you to watch it non-stop until you're finished you lazy ♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥)

- also i guess i started watching gravity falls at some point long ago but i just watched ep 1 and didn't bother to watch the rest since

THINGS I'LL DEFINITELY DO IN THIS SUMMER WINTER BREAK:


- Finish GoT

- Start watching Breaking Bad (it sounds a good)

- Watch Paranoia Agent (thanks Bryce)

- " Cowboy Bebop (thanks Bryce²)















i don't remember reading any book but if i run out of things to watch i'll probably but very unlikely read the divine comedy and/or 1984

After a while it's time to update my log of consumed media once again. Finished watching Mr. Robot just kidding I haven't, I need to rewatch it again. And again. However I have the feeling that the more I watch it the more I get confused. Still, this ♥♥♥♥ show deserves more than just a C++ (haha see I made a relevant joke), the soundtrack is amazing (When I heard M83 on it I had a pretty strong orgasm), and it has so much dense, amazing material, that it needs to be watched again and again and again to be truly understood, and even then I don't think I'll ever run out of interpretations. That's what I like in a TV show, or any kind of media ever. Also watched like, Stranger Things. It was okay but I don't think it was the big deal people made out of it (also Golden Globe awards :/), soundtrack was pretty damn good tho. Will keep on watching.

Westworld. Don't have a lot to say. Good plot twists I guess, but then it gets a bit repetitive. It has a lot of potential to be amazing but it also has a lot of potential to be a huge faliure. Damn though I really enjoyed Orange Is The New Black, specially this last season that was the most ♥♥♥♥ intense heart breaking ♥♥♥♥ ever. If it ever gets repetitive, don't give up. Keep on watching.

As for animu, I watched Steins;Gate. Pretty intelligent and well made, and a pretty ♥♥♥♥ powerful love scene. Intro song is also catchy as hell. I recommend it a lot. (Yes I watched Keijo I'm so sorry please don't kill me) I started watching JoJo but then I gave up because it's boring it's so good it doesn't deserve to be watched by me. (Jk tho I'll keep on watching from where I stopped someday. Someday.)

also on a further note I watched harry potter \o/ (yes i had not until then)

As for books, I'm on the middle of 1984 (sorry :c), will finish it before this break ends I promise. After that I have no plans for reading other books (maybe national literature? idk)
