Wotaku Ni Koi Wa Muzukashii Live Action

Last week, I shared my latest anime obsession: Wotaku Ni Koi Wa Muzukashii. Back then, I still had the live action movie pending but, I finally watched it! 

Live action movies are always risky, most of them end up being really bad. But I guess it also depends on the type of stories they try to adapt. Since this one is more of a "normal life" kind of story, I think it's easier to have a good adaptation.

This live action movie was released in 2020 and, as the anime, it is a romatic comedy. Even tho the story is loyal to the anime, it is slightly different. Something I didn't expect was that, this movie is actually a musical!! I'm not sure how I feel about it. I mean, I kinda enjoy musicals but, they're not my fav thing and honestly, sometimes the songs felt a little tiring.

The differences were not thaaaat big tho, there is this part where Hirotaka tries to become an anime fan to have that in common with Narumi and, even tho it was kinda cute, it was never like that in the anime. There, they both just respected each other's likes and were ok with having different otaku interests.

The main characters were portrayed very well, not only personality wise but they also nailed the looks. Hirotaka is kinda cute, hehe. I was a little worried about Kabakura's orange hair for example cuz, I've seen very bad wigs in other live action movies. But no, it was ok. Sadly, the movie doesn't show much of Kabakura and Koyanagi's relationship. They do make appearances but don't have a big importance in the story. This movie is only focused on Nifuji and Narumi's relationship. I don't complain, they were my favs but I missed the other characters, especially Nao-chan, he's not even mentioned!

Left to right: Takumi Saitoh as Taro Kabakura, Kento Yamazaki as Hirotaka Nifuji, Mitsuki Takahata as Narumi Momose and Nanao as Hanako Koyanagi

Same as the anime, this movie has other anime and games references, the one I loved the most was the ending song, inspired by Zankoku na Tenshi no Thesis, Evangelion's opening theme, which is one of my favorites.

I wouldn't say this movie is a bad one, I did enjoy it but it was not my favorite. It is fun and everything moves quickly but like I mentioned, the songs felt a little tiring and, I would've included the other characters too, they make the story more interesting and fun. I'd defo choose the anime over the live action movie.

Anyway guys, I think you'd have to watch it yourselves cuz I feel like sometimes I have opinions that are 100% different from other people's. Especially with these kind of things. So yeah, let me know your thoughts if you ever watch it.

I'll see you next time~! ♡

| Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii | My current anime obsession

During my Spring break I discovered this anime thanks to a YouTube channel that shares anime summaries. It caught my attention right away and pretty much finished watching it in about a week.

Aka Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, is an 11 episodes long anime based on a Japanese manga by Fujita. This romantic comedy shows the life of Hirotaka, Narumi, Koyanagi and Kabakura; 4 coworkers who become close because they all have one thing in common, they are all otaku who usually hide their hobbies in their working environment.

Here's a short summary I found online cuz I'm not good at writing summaries, hehehe: "After discovering that they work at the same company, a gaming crazed otaku and a fujoshi reunite for the first time since middle school. After some post-work drinking sessions they begin dating, but will it be a perfect relationship for the two?"

Even tho it is supposed to be focused on Hirotaka and Narumi's relationship (two childhood friends who decide to date because it's "convenient" even tho they are not each other's type), they also show the relationship between Koyanagi and Kabakura (which is really funny) and, Kou and Naoya (Hirotaka's younger and adorable brother). Plus we can see how their friendship evolves and becomes stronger even if they have completely different personalities.

It is a very relaxed, every day life kind of story with lots of funny moments and (other) anime and game references because in that group, there are gamers, manga and anime lovers and even a cosplayer. They also have cute game version episodes. (If that makes sense).

To me, it was really fun and relatable. It kinda reminded me of me and my group of friends. That's why I obsessed quickly. (not that it doesn't happen often tho...)

This anime was released on 2018 and also has 3 OVA which are pretty good too. Wotaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii: Youth, they were released in 2019.

There's also a live action movie that I haven't watched yet but, I defo will and, of course, the manga. I think I might end up buying it at some point cuz, from what I've seen online, there won't be a second season cuz, apparently, the anime covered everything on the manga. (°n°)

Anyway guys, this is a very short and random chit chat but, I really wanted to share it cuz... I'm obsessed. Feel free to let me know if you've watched it, if you liked it and even if you could relate to one of the characters.

See you next time~ ♡

Sasuke Retsuden | My favorite SasuSaku moments 💖 |

I know many people don't like Sakura, or Sasuke and especially SasuSaku as a couple. But, I love them! And I thought since today is Valie's Day, it'd be perfect to talk about this because, it was just beautiful. This is going to be fangil Mon typing so, yeah. You've been warned. Hehe.

Last week I finished watching the Sasuke Retsuden episodes. I'm not caught up with Boruto and I haven't read the manga yet but, I just had to watch them. I'm always craving for cute SasuSaku moments and, I gotta say, it was defo worth it. We get to see their relationship more in depth.

In the anime the Sasuke Retsuden Arc is from ep. 282 to 286, we have 5 beautiful episodes that went by super fast. The story starts when Naruto gets really sick and could lose his life so, Sasuke decides to go on a mission to find a cure for the strange illness that threatened Naruto's health. Without him knowing, Sakura will join him in this mission later. That's my summary, haha. Don't wanna spoil things for you guys. (I probably will anyway~~~) And this is not supposed to be a review or something, I just wanna fangirl with you all. From now on, I think I'm gonna start rambling about all the things I loved in this Arc and the SasuSaku scenes more than the actual mission.

Honestly I loved to see them working together as a married couple (not that we haven't seen them before) and how he worries and takes care of Sakura in his own way. ♡♡♡ We know that Sasuke and Sakura have this kind of long distance marriage. She's always working in the village and taking care of Sarada and he's always out on missions. Sakura never knows when he'll be back and is constantly worrying and thinking about him. Sasuke, on the other hand, doesn't seem to worry much. And, idk, maybe it's just me but, I find their relationship sooooo cute and strong because even tho they are not always together, they just know they have each other. But, when Sasuke becomes a prisoner as part of the mission, he starts paying attention to the fact that he's never with his wife and there's nothing that shows people Sakura is married when he's not around. I don't know if he didn't know having rings was a thing because well, he is Sasuke or, if it was something people just didn't do back in the village. When Sakura arrives, all the prisoners are constantly talking about how pretty the new doctor is which makes Sasuke think about the ring thing even more. I believe Sakura's first appearance is on episode 283 and it is also where we get the very expected ring scene. The way he gives it to her couldn't be more perfect and more... Sasuke! First of all, it was a red ring made out of chakra (this will be helpful later in the episodes), for some reason I think the color goes perfectly well with them, he doesn't say romantic things but, he did say meaningful things that made Sakura realize he cares and after giving her the ring, he just continued with the mission. This is what I love about him, he's not a romantic! He just has his own ways to show his feelings without being cheesy. I got teary eyes!!

There's also this scene I loved where Sakura bumps into a rock and Sasuke catches her right away as he slightly sighs, I mean, it may not be something super special but, this is what I mean when I say I love Sasuke's coldness. (Am I weird for that?)

In that same scene they do something related to the mission but we have a super duper cute holding hands in front of a lake moment. Seriously guys, I couldn't stop fangirling cuz we don't see these moments between them often.

There was also this scene where one of Sasuke's cellmates tells Sakura that Sasuke often likes to look at a tree, when she looks through the window, she realizes it is a plum tree that looks pretty similar to a sakura tree, which means that tree, makes him think of Sakura.

And theeeeeen, in the last episodes, Sakura is injured by one of the enemies so she can't escape when the building collpases. She's hurt and scared but there's not much she can do cuz she was injected with a thing that paralyzed her or something. So, the chakra ring helps Sasuke to find his wife and save her. ♡

In the end the mission is a success and they both have to return to their lives as they were before. They understand they have responsibilities but, I feel like Sakura feels more at ease knowing how Sasuke feels even tho she won't be wearing her ring because of her work.

I mean, it's not like the story was romance focused, we had a lot of action and fighting scenes too but,  I did find many cute, moments even tho I NEVER GOT TO SEE A KISS! 

Now, even tho I think the ring scene was beautifully made, and papa Sasuke is smoking hot, I don't know if the animation in general was the best one. Guess I'm just comparing it with other shows I watch cuz I haven't watched many Boruto episodes and well, I don't know anything about animation.

All in all guys, I loved Sasuke Retsuden and I know I'll be getting the manga volumes. Having Mr. and Mrs. Uchiha moments like these has always been my dream, haha. I think is so worth watching and I highly recommend it. 

Sorry if this post is all over the place, fangirl Mon doesn't make sense most of the time.

I found this funny filter on Instagram and thought it'd be perfect to include it here. LOL. 
(don't judge me)

See you next time~ ♡

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War

Guys! We all know I've been obsessing with Bleach all over again, specially because of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc. The first part (season?) was released back in October 2022 and ended in December. I have to say I don't follow the manga, just the anime so, many things were new to me. And, boy did I love it! I promise I won't spoil anything cuz it's still pretty new but, as usual, I want to share my excitement with y'all! Hehe.

At first I thought it was a little darker than the older Arcs, with more action / fighting scenes and less funny moments but, that changed as the episodes progressed. To give you a quick background on the story, peace in Soul Society is broken when residents start disappearing for no reason, the Quincy are back and they are stronger than before cuz they can steal the Captains' bankai. Honestly, I never really liked the Quincy and it was no different this time. Of course, they ask for Ichigo's help and his friends decide to go along with him. That is like a very general (and bad) summary, lol.

Now yeah, I said I don't like the Quincy but this time I loved the Arc! First of all, I really liked to see how strong the relationship between Ichigo and his friends is now and how confident they are with their powers. Some of the characters also had a new look, hehe. And I loved it! I was mostly excited about Rangiku's new look, she looks really pretty. (we can blame her for my new haircut but, that is something for another post). The story is more Soul Society based but we do get to see a little Karakura.

I had so many emotions while watching this arc. A big part of it was the nostalgia!! Cuz OMG I always connect Bleach with a very happy period of my life and it's sometimes difficult to realize how much things have changed since then. Also, I don't really have many people to share my obsession with now. The first episode had a special ending showing scenes from the older episodes and yeah, the feels.

Then we have the feeling of seeing some captains losing their bankai, others getting badly hurt and even dying, it was sad!

There's a glimpse of Aizen trapped in the Soul Society, I know many peope were really looking forward to seeing him. We also see him in some Flashbacks along with Tosen and my man Gin. Even if it was for a bit and through a flashback, it made me really, really happy to see him again. My heart. These 3 are not the only old characters we get to see. Of course we have new characters too, like the Squad 0.

The last two episodes were the best, cuz they were full of unexpected surprises, emotional stories that explained things that happened in the earlier episodes and made a lot of sense now.

Idk guys, I feel like this is my most random anime chit chat so far! I'm not even making a point here but, I needed to let it all out, hehe. 

This season has 13 episodes and we'll have to wait until July to see the second part. There's already a trailer out there and it is so freaking good! I really can't wait! In the meantime I'm still watching the older episodes to remember things and characters. 

Feel free to let me know if you're gonna watch it or, if you have already seen it. Thoughts?

😸 Cat sitting update!

When I shared my last cat sitting post, I was planning to make a quick update when Sassy left just to close the "series" so, here we are. 

The update will be slightly different than planned because, Sassy is officially part of my family! 

As I mentioned in the first post, Sassy's mom went to Europe for six months but, a lot happened in those 6 months and those changes would represent another big one for Sassy. So, in the end, we decided that it was best for her to stay here. I mean, the idea of saying goodbye kinda made me sad, we're happy to have her here and I think we all got used to each other, including Masha. Even tho they still fight at times, I knew she'd be lonely without Sassy. Plus, I saw how she struggled to adapt to a new place so, we didn't have the heart to put her throught it all over again.

I know it was hard for her mom to make this decision but I'm happy she trusted me to take care of her baby. 

I believe that when a cat (or any other pet) comes into your life, it's for a reason, and you should welcome it with love so yeah, she will be loved and spoiled in her new home. ♡

I think that is it, I just wanted to share the news, hehe. In case you missed how our story with Sassy started, here are all the links to the previous Cat sitting posts.

It's quick cat update time! Hehe.

After spending a lot more time home during my "break" I noticed Sassy is a lot more used to the routine and how things are over here. Every morning they both wait for me, sitting in the kitchen for their breakfast. Specially during the weekend, and they actually eat at the same time most mornings, which didn't used to happen before.

I keep the cat treats in a container and everytime I give them to Masha, I say "Who wants a treat?" and shake it a little, Masha just knows and comes running. It's cute because Sassy does it now too, she knows it means "treat time."

And well, they have their own night routine where they play (alone or together) at night and after a while, they both come to bed. Usually one a few minutes after the other. We all sleep together every night now.

And it's not only at night, while I was on my break, I spent a lot of time watching shows and they both were in the same room with me most of the time. It was nice because, a few months back Sassy would nap in a separate room because they didn't like to be in the same room. 

Now that I'm back to work, I don't feel too worried about leaving them alone. It's cute cuz they both are waiting for me when I come back home.

😋

I think that's it for this month guys, Sassy is the sweetests so, it's been really nice to have her over.

Fullmetal Alchemist Live Action Prequel: The Revenge of Scar

On August 20th, Netflix released the 2nd Fullmetal Alchemist live action which will have a second part. This time I decided to watch it on the next day because, idk if you remember but, it took me forever to watch the first one.

Since it's still pretty new, I promise I won't spoil anything. I already had an idea of what to expect but I wanted to watch it, giving it a chance cuz the trailer looked good.

This time the Elric brothers will have to face Scar (along with the homunculus) and, even tho I remembered this character, I forgot about many things from the anime (it's been a while...). Scar wants revenge from the Ishval Civil War where most of the Ishval people where killed by the Amestrian Military, including his brother. Many Alchemists took part on this war so his goal is to kill them. That's the general idea.

We can see characters like Ling Yao, Lan Fan and May, who I remember as a small girl... I didn't remember much about them, I just know Lan Fan will get an automail later in the story, tee he hee.

He's cute

As from the military, we finally see Armstrong and King Bradley along with the others we saw on the previous movie, Riza, Roy and Hughes.

I was SO happy to see grandma Pinako, Den and a little more from Resembool. ♡ I loved to see Winry more involved in the story too and her interactions with Edward.

The previous movie had some emotional moments but I think this one hit me harder, haha. The whole story behind Winry's parents and how they died made me tear up a little. Specially after seeing Ed so involved even if he didn't know much about what happened.

Riza also had a bigger role this time and I have a feeling we'll see more from her in the second part.

I feel like, special effects and hair wise, they did impove if we compare it with the 1st movie.  Edward's hair wasn't exactly natural looking but it was better than before, same with Riza's, still could improve tho. I think Scar looked great and, Pinako and Hohenheim were my favorites. Can't forget about Al tho, he's always the cutest. The effects on some scenes could've been better (specially at the end) but, I don't complain.

I have to say, I didn't have many automail moments in this movie...

Idk what y'all think once you watch it and maybe, just maybe, my fangirl side is the one speaking but, I really enjoyed this movie! Like the previous one, it is loyal to the story and characters, it has lost of action but also a few funny moments (maybe not as many as the anime but, oh well~) and I'm looking forward to seeing the next one that will be released in September, I think.

Anyway guys, that's it for this post, I really wanted to share it because I need to share my obseesion with someone.

Tell me what you think, wil you watch it?

I couldn't find good FMA filters for this post but this one felt accurate. Those who know, know.

Time for another cat update! I've been home a lot more lately so I can see how the girls are doing and how they act around the other.

Last time I mentioned how Sassy started sleeping with me in my bed when Masha was not around but, as soon as my break started, I woke up to both of them sleeping on my bed, really close to the other! It was a big surprise! They don't cuddle together as other cats do but, I think it is a BIG improvement. Most of the time Masha sleeps on my feet and Sassy next to me.

Also almost every night, Sassy likes to lie down on me for a while before she moves next to her new sleeping spot. I find it really cute!

And, as usual, I bought a new toy I found at Miniso. I was very excited cuz most of the cool toys they have are for dogs so, I just had to get it. I was so glad to see that they both liked it and use it. Even if they don't do it together. I tried but, it didn't work.

It was very easy to assemble

All in all, I'm happy to see how Sassy's confidence keeps growing, she moves comfortably around the apartment and both of them live in peace most of the time.

Here are the previous ones in case you missed them.

Here comes another cat update. I think it'll be a very short one since things haven't changed much since the last one. 

Sassy is braver now and I've seen her provoking Masha every now and then. I find it funny tho, they end up chasing each other around the apartment.

At night, when Masha sleeps in a different room, Sassy jumps in my bed and sleeps with me for a while, something she didn't do before. 

And, again, they got matching toys. This time, small mice. It was love at first sight. They started playing with them as soon as they recieved them.

Shortest update so far but, I'll be on a break soon so, I'll be able to spend more time with them and, hopefully, write more.

Obi-Wan Kenobi Series

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series just finished last wednesday and yeah, I loved it! 

I've been a Star Wars fan for a looooooooooong time. I watched Episodes IV, V and VI when I was very young, I was obsessed with Episodes I, II and III and enjoyed the others specially the ones that had the old characters back. All of them have a special place in my heart, hehe.

I've seen some of the shows like the Clone Wars, which I loved, but I haven't watched the latest ones like The Mandalorian. But as soon as I heard about the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, I just knew I had to watch it. Obi-Wan is dear to me, specially Ewan McGregor's.

Anyone Remembers these?

 After watching it, I'm obsessed again so, I had to share my excitement here! I'll try not to spoil anything tho.

Obi-Wan Kenobi is a 6 episodes Disney + show that shows Obi-Wan's life years after his last battle with Anakin. He's no longer a Jedi and he's living a very low profile life in Tatooine as "Ben". His only "mission" now is to check on little Luke, who's living with Owen Lars in a small farm. I kinda felt bad for him because he's living a sad, lonely life.

For some reason (that I won't spoil), he ends up having a new mission, "one last mission" to rescue young princess Leia, who was kidnapped. That's basically how the show starts...  

Honestly, I was super excited to see some of the old characters like Senator Bail Organa, Owen Lars and even Master Qui-Gon. But, the most exciting was to see Hayden Christensen as Anakin again!!

I know some people had mixed opinions about him but I love him, I always have and I always will. He was still breaking my heart as I watched the show but there's something about having Ani and Obi-Wan reunited that feels so good! Even tho the only happy reunion they had was in flashbacks. I have to confess I spent half of the las episode crying! Just like I did when I watched Episode III. 

♡

Another thing I loved were little Luke and Leia. Luke (Grant Feely) has the cutest smile and defo reminded me of young Ani. Leia (Vivien Blair) is just perfect! She's super cute and smart. She got the best of  both her parents. She was defo one of my favorites.

Just like his dad ♡

the cutest rebel princess in the galaxy

I really hope they make a sencond season, even tho it is not planned yet. I'm also excited because Hayden might be back in the Ahsoka series. Can't wait!

And since I'm obsessed again, I went through some old pictures to find Star Wars related stuff and yeah, I'm gonna share a few in here. For some reason, I love to include those type of things in my posts now. Hehe. Kind of an easter egg or something.

A very improvised Queen Amidala makeup look.

Star Wars expo with the hubby Vader, haha.

Ok, I always wanted to dress as Queen Amidala and this was the closest I got to do something similar. I borrowed this dress that was made for a fashion show in the school I studied at and made it work. This pic is from 2011! I remember it was super uncomfotable but it was fun. Maybe one day, I'll buy a Padme costume, haha. 

That's it for this post you guys, I have many more pics but I don't want to spam you. Let me know if you've seen the Obi-Wan Kenobi show and if you liked it.
