Let’s just finish this shall we? I look back from my first post until now, and yes, the interest waned. I enjoyed the series but the blogging shifted since going on my international trip last year. A quick summary of the episodes with my overall series thoughts in the end.
“Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases. Sunlight is said to be the best of disinfectants; electric light the most efficient policeman.”
This was spoken by Justice Louis Brandeis and it is often used in political commentary when discussing transparency, normally to bash the heads in of your political opponent. I feel that the quote in its entirety, short form, or paraphrased, is used too often and without any real meaning but as a gotcha for any position not your own. Or as proof of one’s own unassailable position.
I have no idea where I was going with that, but eh, it was the first thing that popped to my head when discussing sunshine.
Anyways, I was nominated for the Sunshine Award by Lynn Sheridan over at The Otaku Author, and I’m thankful to be considered for this award. I should really start writing more. Now there are some stipulations with being nominated for such an award by fellow bloggers, so here they are:
There are always rules and they shall be followed!
Now, I’ve been horribly behind on posting, especially this series. I have no excuses and to be honest, I’ll probably also do a quick thought on the last four episodes too. I saw these episodes in its theatrical run back in my trip to Japan, and now that I’m able to understand the talky bits, I can put in my very late two cents.
I dunno what to think about this one. I kinda want to like it because it’s an interesting premise, but I’m not too fond of some of the CGI. Housekeeping: Fruits Basket episode 4 blog post will be done later.
One housekeeping note, I did not do anything blogging related during my week off from work. It was a week of airsofting (and getting drenched), some heartaches with a computer build refresh, and smashing The Division 2’s endgame like a cheap piece of meat.
This TER might be short.
Not a whole lot of thinking today, to be quite honest. Sucked into The Division 2 and with MGSO Asuka’s ending, it kinda, well let’s see.
So, with the next season upon us, I think I’ll try to be more active.

Three Episode Rule:
Watching, not Blogging:
Inb4 I get sucked into more Division 2. I’ve already invested, at the time of this post, 80 hours. Going off on user Nenimi Otus scale of dollars/hour in terms of entertainment, The Division 2 is on track to pay itself off by next week, since I bought the 100USD Gold Edition.
We’re on the penultimate episode of the series, and I feel as though we could’ve covered more. We definitely could’ve covered more of Asuka coping with life on the ‘outside’. Kurumi as she coped with being separated from her unrequited love. How Tamara and Mia are handling the stresses of their duties.
A lot more could’ve been done.
Also, concerning the preview image: HADO HO HASSHA!
So I thought I’d do my usual thoughts about the last episode, but then The Division 2 happened. I’ve been playing that game on and off, but unlike some, I’m not power leveling, I’ve probably spent more time roaming and finding stuff.
Anyways.
Anyways, this week’s episode shed some more light on the state of the world post-war. Rather short due to personal reasons.
EDIT: Added some more thoughts as I mulled over something before going to bed.
