Honestly, I actually like Miko more than I do with Shirogane because of how much her backstory resonates with me as someone that tries to stay as true to himself as humanly possible.

Chika is just Chika, the chaotic and sometimes brutal peacekeeper.

Oh yeah Hina, that one girl who went boom boom in that one car scene. There is a pretty funny video on Tokyo Revengers and I'd recommend watching it if you wanna have a laugh

It’s because of that dynamic that the cast of Love is War is so great, it’s because their interactions are never the same yet are generally chaotic. They always create new scenarios out of a mundane everyday life of the student council, from Kaguya and Shirogane having their usual silly battles to Chika being Chika to Miko and Ishigami bickering yet being friends in the end.

Chika ended up being my favorite character purely because I am a sucker for those energetic and outgoing characters though her brutality and honesty are also really nice while Ishigami is someone I relate to though I haven’t been in his former situation personally.

Kisaki is just lame, I don’t care about him whatsoever. Yeah his manipulation and all is cheeky and pretty smart but I just don’t care about him or anyone really besides that one girl.

Preciously, there isn’t a point to it if you just force people to play as someone they aren’t just for the sake of viewership. That’s the problem with YouTube nowadays, so many content creators are trying to force themselves into a shell that doesn’t fit them for whatever reason albeit usually views. Yeah I’m not gonna bother continuing the series, I’d rather just be tied upside down and whacked like a pinata.

Love is War is a romcom done right and does not need to rely on tropes to be funny, rather it makes the cast genuinely hilarious through absurd and over-the-top interactions and dialogue yet throughout those things, you can always tell their true genuine feelings underneath. It ties itself to both realms well with the romcom funny and wholesome aspects and narrative gimmicks such as establishing depth and further characterization on a cast that is already lovable from the start, such as Kaguya and her family status and how it made her an outcast and ended up making her distant and cold or Ishigami and his trauma back in Junior high and how it affected his ability to express himself and his emotions. It’s within Season 2 where Love is War is at its best whereas Ultra Romantic has a great and satisfying ending albeit there’s the movie. It’s here that these students, the characters we’ve come to love, that they are human. We’re reminded, that these characters are grounded to earth and are not your typical romcom characters.

That’s all his character is and I don’t mean to dish out to you since I know you like Tokyo Revengers and all, this is just my personal opinion and interpretation on Tokyo Revengers and Takemichi as a whole. I don’t mind characters who start off as weak or whiny or full of cowardice because that can set up a template for them to massively grow and develop to such far lengths but what I hate are one-dimensional characters who hardly change and stay the same despite everything they go through.

I’d rather be genuine and true to myself (Well I already am but you get the point) rather than be a fake and play off as someone that I am not, which is essentially a lie. It’s a word, don’t worry. It’s not really deep, it’s more so a way of me saying that it’s so full of hot garbage that I watched it so you didn’t have to.

Not really, it’s part of how I watch things. Yeah there are times where I watch something, despise it for whatever reason albeit mostly a narrative reason, and complain as a way to cope but I just push through to the end at the tunnel. You can probably name some anime and I’ll probably have some kind of analysis on it.

Exactly, he has the development of a rock that gained the ability to be sentient. He doesn’t learn from his mistakes nor does he develop in a natural way according to his circumstances. Obviously time travel is a rocky thing to work with given the nature of it but actions have to carry weight and characters have to develop as the events around them should change their character and who they represent. Takemichi, just does none of that.

He’s just a big whiny baby who can’t do much as even throw a punch before either whining his butt off or crying all dramatically as a means of getting the audience to sympathize with him. And yeah, strong is a rather accurate word for my opinions.

That's the thing I despise about reality tv, so much of it all the time feels unnatural and forced. Obviously it's hard to create an authentic and natural atmosphere when there's like 20 different cameras and 50 people looking at you but one example that does do this well is The Office. Just please don't watch it, I wouldn't even wish it upon the people I hate in this world. Enjoy!

It gets crazier when you realize that I have dedicated thousands of hours into anime and manga, hundreds of hours into analysis and discussion, and not once have I dropped anything in the face of pure pain and torture. Haikyuu is an interesting one, why's that?

Tokyo Revengers sucks butt, the amount of plot holes and repetitiveness of the conflicts is just aggravating plus Takemichi is so irritating and poorly thought out as a character.

I want to know what the producers must be thinking because they must think that everyone and their mamas must loove seeing the same reality ty show do the same thing for the 50th time in a row. Please do, never watch Fifty Shades of Grey. Literally 75% of their interactions either make zero coherent sense or are so forced and scripted that it’s like looking at two robots. I have zero idea what the appeal of the movie is, and that says something since I try to look for both positive and negative attributes within analysis.

No. I just force myself to finish it even if I hate it. That’s why the number of low rated shows continue to rise and why there is a big zero on “Dropped”. I do believe that it is a good thing to watch shows of all sizes and whatnot, the good the bad and the in-between, in order to really appreciate the medium as a whole.

I have premium and ad-blockers so pop-ups are not a problem anymore.

Fair enough, but at least you guys have a better Netflix selection unlike THE FIFTY ROMANCE ENTRIES HERE IN THE US LIKE LOVE IS BLIND. Yeah, I just finished rewatching Fifty Shades of Grey last night and goodness gracious is it one of the WORST movies I have ever seen in my entire life. I don't know what I thought of it before but now I can safely say that it sucks in all aspects. I honestly believe that whoever wrote this has zero idea on how people interact and how humans behave. I felt like I was watching a fanfiction more than an actual movie and again, this is such a bad way to show BDSM as well as having so many cheap and lazy sequences and transitions.

Pretty much, I essentially finish everything I watch and do not drop whatsoever even at the cost of myself. It gets... rather tough at times, especially with seasonals I don't like.

Uhhhh... noo?

Ahh gotcha gotcha, and I'm sure you're familiar with the rating stuff here in the US so yada yada. I'm good, I'll pass on Chucky. If I wanted to watch something funny, I'd probably just watch my favorite comedy anime like Nichijou, Hinamatsuri, Dekineko, and Oniichan wa Oshimai. I just remember it being such a bad image of all that kinky sex stuff like BDSM and what not, plus the writing is just bleh and bad writing has become a pet peeve of mine since I do heavy work in narrative analysis.

Oh that. Just think of it as me enjoying uncomfortable levels of pain, one of which being to never drop anything. Not that kind of masochism though.

No it's a good trailer, we just haven't had the time to actually go and watch it haha. Rachel?

I'm guessing that the UK has a different rating age system compared to the US unless 12A means something else, but yeah it looks rather poor. I probably wouldn't mind watching it albeit there's a likely chance I won't like it, but then again I'm rewatching Fifty Shades of Grey for the second time now despite me not liking it so I might as well cave into my masochism and torture myself for the fun of it :)

Have fun with it! I can't really remember what other horror movies I've watched so oh well.

Have you watched it? I was going to with my dad but we never talked about it again ever since I brought up the trailer lol

Freddy Keuger falls into the same category as the rest, but he’s a pretty cool guy. Insidious looks so lame and I normally don’t make comments like that on things I haven’t watched, it just looks like Superman if he were the equivalent of a demon.

Precisely, you can get adjusted and eventually notice how predictable jumpscares can be with time and experience. With psychological horror, there is none of that. You can not tell when you are safe or when you are not and a good blend of both psychological and physical horror is a movie called “The Thing”.

It was… fine I suppose. It was no different from the other Conjuring movies besides the fact that the culprit is different. It really wasn’t scary.

Yeah, basically. Just Jason out to kill to avenge his late mother by murdering dozens of teenagers and probably having a KDR ratio of like 163-8. Back then it was very popular and revolutionary for the horror industry, now it’s more of a classic that will forever remain but will eventually be beaten out by better written quality horrors i.e. Midsommer.

I strongly recommend psychological horror in general and this is just my personal opinion but I firmly believe psychological horror is what horror should be rather than an external threat. Psychological horror messes with your head and slowly creeps up on you to invade your space of security and safety while a lot of others such as slashers, demons, supernatural and whatnot often rely on your human and survival instincts to have a reaction to it i.e. jumpscares and there are some good ones out there but those are harder to find.

Nah, it’s the third Conjuring movie dubbed ‘The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It”. The Nun was released six years ago, and Annabelle is honestly more funny than scary at least in my eyes.

Same goes for Friday the 13th, it honestly gets repetitive the more movies you watch from the series besides a few exceptions. If anything, watch Perfect Blue if you can. It is an absolute masterclass of psychological horror by Satoshi Kon that really pulls off on how to build up tension and underlying fear, though it can be rather disturbing and graphic at times so just a warning.

Have you watched the Conjuring universe? I watched the most recent Conjuring movie and had the biggest blank stare in my face the whole time at like 3 in the morning.

Scream isn't that scary, it's just another famous masked slasher type beat. The Exorcist on the other hand scared the Asian off me for a day or so but I'm religious so that comes into play with The Exorcist.

No comment.

I don't know what website you used but here's the link for Chihayafuru and its manga.

Chihayafuru - Anime
Chihayafuru - Manga

Oh really, like what movies? DDLC messed with my mind so much and with how it built up that uneasiness and almost impending doom made me really shook then Sayori’s death occurred and I got so scared. The rest was history though Natsuki’s death was the one to get me to scream while Yuri’s death just made my jaw drop.

….That explains it. That is way too much tea but then again, Britain.

Chihayafuru’s original source is a manga.

Sometimes I do though at this point, I've become almost immune to horror and generally don't get scared anymore. The only exception so far is Doki Doki Literature Club and that game genuinely had me both scared to my core and had me audibly scream for the first time in years.

......Did you use a recipe or some kind of online tutorial? I mean you can try making Vietnamese coffee at home, go ahead if you want to haha. Wha, 20?

Fair enough, it can be a bit daunting for you or at least I imagine it can given the length and the amount of attention to detail and depth it has gone so far in just the first season alone.
