joe pera talks with you

i will never forget how it felt to get home at 2am from my ass retail job and just turning on the tv to put it in the background as i get ready to go to sleep. the last time i had watched tv i must have left it on adult swim because when i turn on my tv i was met with joe pera's show: joe pera talks with you. i don't know why but i could feel there was something very special about this show. i kinda just sat there mesmerized at the screen. it was an episode from its 2nd season, the one where he writes his grandma an obituary.... i think maybe one of the reasons why i was so attached to the tv was because of how much i could relate to what was happening on the screen. i remember thinking what will i do if my grandma ever dies? ... i don't know. it just felt very genuine. and the episode really touched me. i decided to watch the rest of the show that week and i was not disappointed.

i think i love everything about this show, joe pera's vibe is just immaculate. i wish i was him. his relationship with sarah has such a sweetness to it. i am tearing up just thinking about them. while watching the show i remember thinking that i wanted to have what they have with someone else in the future. joe's relationship with his grandma ooooooouuuuuuughhhhh it really reminded me a lot of my relationship with my grandma. they would crank up jokes and tease each other. i really saw a lot of myself in this show. it's very special to me because of that. i think it's a show that really shows how important the small things in life are.

i was very sad when i got the news that the show got cancelled. though i do have to say that the ending of season 3 was wonderfully done. i rewatched it recently with my girlfriend and i couldn't help but sob when we finished watching it. now that my grandma passed away, i appreciate this show more than when i first watched it. i love this show dearly. and i will always look up to it. this is a wonderful piece of media.

my nana and her quiet home were that to me, a place of undeniable good in the world.
and now that they're gone-
well, i actually still have to take care of the house.
i don't know if i'll ever be able to find that again
or if i'll ever feel alright again
i don't know.
what do i know?

twin peaks

during april 2023 my girlfriend asked me if i wanted to either watch twin peaks or the haunting of bly manor.

i'm gonna get a tiny bit cheesy for a sec but then my girlfriend proceeded to explain to me the general plot of twin peaks and his face kinda lit up because it's one of his favorite TV shows so i went with twin peaks

i find this show kind of insane tbh. there are some things that haven't aged all that well, but at least i get my giggle or two.

the main mystery of the show of who killed laura palmer was very interesting and i honestly did not see coming the finale of it. there's a lot more to this show than just the murder mystery with its supernatural? themes and that made it very fun to watch.

my favorite character is probably cooper... yes.... he's just so much fun and funny and silly... he's also my bf's favorite character as well. but another contender is probably josephine for being the most BEAUTIFUL woman i've ever seen in my entire life. jesus.

we're currently like halfway through the 2nd season where (for some reason?) we have already established the killer of laura so now it just feels like we're following the main cast shenanigans with some filler stuff on the side and it just feels a little bit messy... but i'm still enjoying it nonetheless.

that ending??? alright then... i hope to watch season 3 at some point but i'm not sure where to watch it that wouldn't cost me money LMAO

kaiba

i decided to watch this one day because i stumbled upon a gif of the opening one day and i just found the art so so so beautiful!

the gif in question

i was not very smart for watching this while going through a 4 day migraine because the plot can sometimes be a bit tricky to understand in the latter half. as of writing this, i've watched this anime at least 4 times and i must say that i do get it now.

the world of this is so cool and interesting. the main characters (kaiba and neyro) are also so lovely too. understanding their relationship and you learn more and more about them is just soooo. oh my god. i just love them so much. on my first watch i basically couldn't move as i was watching the credits roll on the last episode. it really stayed with me and i kept thinking about it (AND I STILL DO) for so long. it genuinely touched me.

i love the concept of being able to store memories in a chip and as long as you can get another body then you are basically immortal. but of course, there is way more than in the plot of this anime. also the art style is just so charming and cute given how dark this show gets.

there's some parts that are a bit weird tbh that have made go ermm but overall this was an absolute treat to watch and experience. i will never forget it. i also own the bluray so i literally rewatch it every 3 months.

watching this was what made me interesting in watching masaaki yuasa's other work! it has also been my favorite out of all of them.

moral orel

this show was such an emotional ride :')

despite the show being mostly like a comedy of the lives of these people, i really do like some of the theme this show tackles and how it explores them. i was often feeling really heavy for these characters, specially orel. i grew up in a Very christian enviroment so some of the things discussed in this really got to me in a way. i get it.

which was the reason why my heart was so heavy when i finished watching it. orel i love you so much.

need to watch the special that released a few years ago.
