Kowloon Generic Romance - Blog Posts

about kowloon generic romance (kgr) first episode i have to say it's a bit disappointing... i think one of the best parts of the manga is that yes, the characters talk about the nostalgia, but you can feel it radiating from the pages too!! and at least this episode I don't think the anime got the vibe lol

and i do understand the decision to put everything until the picture reveal into the first episode, bc everything before is kind of an introduction so everything was a bit rushed and a lot was cut, but there are so moments i do miss (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠) i hope the rest of the season does go slower and takes the time that's necessary to build the suspense, confusion and ROMANCE!!! (in the "love" way and the literal romance way)

Saturday Anime Line Up

Today was on of my Boy's birthday so we went out for Hot Pot and Korean BBQ. We ate sooo much food that everyone crashed when we got home. 😋

Not me though cause I have anime to watch! Oh and also I was doing all the cooking so I hardly ate. On to the anime!😁

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

I love how we go from one mystery right into another one in this series. It keeps each episode interesting! I love that Kagayama was actually on this case fully instead of just hearing about it. I really did think he was the sacrifice though. Still white suits this ep were popular for sure!😆

Anne Shirley

So I usually watch this early but I watched it after A-Rank and compared this ep seemed so much longer so I guess they made up for each other.😄

Anne is growing up much faster than I remember too, but then again it was the live action series and it was so long ago. Still five years since she arrived at Green Gables. A lot has happened but I love that she is still a boisterous girl at heart.🥰

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru

I love that he knows but he has drawn a line with his obliviousness careful enough that most don't notice. its kind of sweet in a way.😌

Kowloon Generic Romance

Wow uh mind blown even more than last week! Destroying a whole city because of a cover up? That's a lot. Never trust someone who goes by the name weasel in a chat. I wanted these two together but now I am not so sure if it is....healthy.🤯

Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen

its been so long since I read this arc in the manga that I forgot what part of the twist was. I knew that it had something to do with Mustard Gas, but part of it was still lost on me. Still I was excited to see Sebastian flex for a little bit.😈

A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu

This ep seemed really short for some reason. I mean I know a decent amount of stuff happened but then again it felt like filler so that makes sense.🤔

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi

I've never drooled over a pizza on TV but this one when they cut into the cheese and then picked up the piece and that string pull that I knew was not glue?🤤🤤🤤

That's it for today. Time to go catch up on reactions and then maybe pass out early...maybe. Jaa ne Mina!🤗

Saturday Anime Line Up

My internet was being such a dick today that my anime watching was so all over the place. It's like 10/2200 where I am and i still have four more anime left to watch before I can post!😫

Okay calm down First World Problems. Anyway, today actually had some really good episodes when i could watch them so I can count that to be a positive!😁

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

How can an anime go from making me groan from over done bad jokes to making my cry and need to grab multiple tissues? Ugh, its bad enough that I can't figure out the mysteries even though the clues are really there, I sucked at Encyclopedia Brown mysteries as a kid too, but for the real culprit to be a complete piece of shit that was only thinking of himself? This is almost as mind blowing as me realizing Kaji Yuki-san is the voice of Kagayama which is practically unrecognizable since it is pitched so low!🤯

Anne Shirley

When I was in high school I had a crush on this boy and he liked black hair. I always had dark brown almost black but I hated it and kept dying it shades of red for years. He was always looking at girls with black hair so I went to dye mine black and it was a huge mistake so I really felt for Anne. The dye was like tar and it ruined my hair for a long time. That guy ended up being an abusive jerk too that I had to get away from in the end. We all make mistakes in our youth. I guess that is the moral from both me and the anime.😅

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru

I felt for Beryl in this one. That pain of seeing someone as a child in your eyes that has been hurt or abused and feeling helpless when you didn't cause the situation but now they don't trust anyone so they push you away. It's heartbreaking to go through but i am glad that in the end Mewi decided to at least give him a chance.😥

Wow. That was a lot to unpack. First poor Gwen. Miyuki is clearly being controlled by his dad. They had one night and then bam luggage. Now he's in Kowloon...or what we know as Kowloon. Yamae seems to be another anomaly and now that Reiko wants to leave Kudo-san lost it for a second. We are finally getting more piece to this puzzle and as to what that thing is in the sky too. Curiouser and curiouser as Alice said.🤔

Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen

Wow, that was closest Ciel ever got other than the end of S1 to be one with Sebastian. He said 90% but we know...😏

Anyway...Ciel is back and in Hakushaku form so this village has another thing coming if they think they will be chasing out the Phantomhive household. Oh and Ciel was cute asking everyone to forget he was acting his age for the last few episodes. Like we would.😉

A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu

Looks like the arc ended and now we get some comfy slice of life for a bit. I know we are going into the next dungeon with the prince but I'm not sure if that will be a full arc or not. Either way, I like the chill time before the next big adventure starts.😁

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi

I ended up eating late so I naturally put this one off till I did and man was I smart to! Even though it seemed pretty tame of food for most of the episode all that seafood and the barbeque on the beach? I was drooling! Imagine if those oysters were clams though! Ugh, raw clams are my fav but I stay away from them now cause with the warming of the oceans you can get really sick now sadly.😩

Man that took forever to finish. Damn wifi. It took so long that some of my anime from Sunday already came out in Japan!😕

I was watching my last anime before posting and a fucking spider showed up on my shoulder, crawled through my hair and went on my chair. I have arachnophobia and I screamed for my kids and froze in the middle of t he room and could not move. Ugh, it was so terrible! I was snotting like a five year old and crying and my son's boyfriend had to comfort me while he killed the spider and got it out the room. 😭

Okay i've calmed down now so let's get to the list...that's a lie i keep looking over my shoulder like a dead spider is gonna come back and get revenge on me.😖

Nazotoki wa Dinner no Ato de

So it took a few more episodes but i am all in on this one now. I forgot how amusing Miyano-san is when he plays a fully dialed up character. i think the last one was from Zombieland Saga. It's been a while since i laughed like that.😄

Anne Shirley

So Anne of Green Gables was written in 1908 and Polly Anna was written in 1913. I can't help but to compare the two heroines since they have similar outlooks on life. Considering the time frames neither author probably knew of each other especially since one was in Canada and the other in the North East. Plus Polly Anna's author passed in 1920 so she was much older when published. Its just kind of fascinating though don't ya think?🤓

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru

I don't know why people think this is a harem anime. Like yeah the Allucia and Surena are into him but the others just revere him like a father figure. He also clearly has no interest in anyone and Beryl is too busy giving life lessons any way to think of romance. Also what a surprise, the church sucks.🙄

Kowloon Generic Romance

Well now. That was interesting. I honestly thought the women in the film was Yomae and she got plastic surgery to look different so she didn't get recognized but it was a whole other reason! I also prefer the fake version of my birthstone, rose quartz, to the real one, opal, because I always thought it shone more.🤔

If you missed it go back and watch after the ED cause holy shit did we get some info and background story that I am still trying to process! Also Kujou B is really nothing like Reiko at all other than slight resemblance. You can tell especially in their personalities and when they smile so why the confusion. They really only share a name.😶

Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen

I love when Sebastian does Sebastian things! Also we got that ceiling scene from the manga and mirror!Ciel as it were. There is so much spoiler in that moment if you know what to look for. Oh and seeing the knight piece also reminded me of this figure that i have!🥰

A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu

I was soooo confused in the beginning of the episode cause I don't remember anything happening to Yuki last ep. I even went back to check if I missed after the credits stuff. It was just a weird way to start the ep honestly.😵

I do have to give a big W to the prince though. I thought he was a piece of shit but he kept his promise to Raine and let her go and punished the count for lying to him. That was some simple but tasty revenge.😌

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi

I have a question as to how that pork was cooked for the sandwiches cause it was a little too pink for my taste but that Slovaki recipe? You can bet i'm gonna try that one for sure!😋

Okay so after all that excitement I need to go watch something else. Maybe some reaction vids will calm me down. Anyway haz a good one and hope it's spider free. Mata ne!😣

Fri-Saturday Anime Line Up

It has been a productive Spring Vacation so far! We got the whole dining room done except for my desk and figure shelves AND half the back porch which is a really big job! I am exhausted but it is a good exhausted. 😁

Squeee another character voiced by Sakurai-san! *ahem* My bad. Anyway, also went out to lunch with my Sis in law as I mentioned in another post, got treated too which was a surprise. We went thrifting after too and even though I was a bust, my daughter landed three binder like sports bras and a pair of basketball shorts for less that $40 for everything!🤯

Then since I was treated to lunch, I treated frozen coffee from Ready Coffee which is 10 times better than Dunkin crap as well as a better price. Now relaxing after I turned a $12 chuck roast into steaks for everyone with curry rice, spinach, and sautéed onions and mushrooms...I watch my last anime while eating too, it is time for my anime watch list for the day!😋

Kusuriya no Hitorigoto 2nd Season

Technically I watch this on Friday, but I don't have another anime that day so I'm popping it in here. Speaking of popping...Jinshi is popping off with Maomao a lot more. He is super excited that she needs him and just beams when she has to ask him for help. In the end though, he just wants her to wear the hair pin he gave her in S1.🤭

Since the Precious Concubine is my best girl I am worried about her right now but with Maomao bringing in her personal GOAT I feel so much better.😌

Anne Shirley

Falsehoods, friends, and school...well maybe no school were crammed into this 23 min ep and I was shocked that is flowed so well! We all knew that Anne was not guilty and I was waiting to see how that was going to unfold. Then she finally made friends and established herself as intelligent only to have an upstart possibly ruin it for her...well Anne is a bit of a drama llama but we get you Anne and it is frustrating.😫

Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru

I'll be honest I was doing several things at once while watching this ep so I know I missed a lot, but for the most part it was the background of another one of Beryl's students that became semi famous becasue of his teachings. I at least remembered it was the busty red head.😆

Kowloon Generic Romance

After today this made the 3 ep cut cause I laughed so hard at this ep! Between sanitizing eyes, forked tongue, same room but two different personalities, and wait...he kissed her but he has him? Yeah this one is in like Flynn.😲

Oh and can I just say how much Sugita-san's voice gives me chills when he speaks cause he can be a fool one second and seductive the next! I feel for Reiko so much.😳

Black Butler: Emerald Witch Arc

As A reader of this manga I know things...yeah I did that, but no I do and I forgot that part of what I know, and the others that read too, showed up in today's ep but seeing it animated made it so much more real than it is at the volume 33!🧐

A-Rank Party wo Ridatsu shita Ore wa, Moto Oshiego-tachi to Meikyuu Shinbu wo Mezasu

Why are creepy dudes even creepier in fantasy anime when they think that they can tell women what to do when clearly the only way they would get a women in if they paid for them and even then I would put a bag over this man's face.😒

Hibi wa Sugiredo Meshi Umashi

I mean its a food anime so it makes the cut but the first ep I wasn't sure if there would be food. Fortunately the second ep the food was established so I have my dinner anime on Sat now.😄

So that's it for me and man that is enough! Well I am still short from last season on Thursday but there is still one that could make the cut but it needs a push over the 3 ep cause I am still on the fence. Anyway, I'm done for today! Oyasuminasai mina! Mata ne!😘
