  • I’ve been watching MangoCake stream Hundred Line after I’ve gifted it to them, and they finished route zero yesterday. Now continuing with the second scenario…without spoiling too much, I am very very hooked. Eito Aotsuki, my beloved

    Huge spoilers for Hundred line route 0 below

    Honestly, the base game is kind of hard to get through since the protag is so, so painfully oblivious and a complete pushover. There are multiple points where there’s clearly something suspicious going on, but the story completely glosses over it, not to mention that there are several scenes where the way the protag acts just makes no sense at all.

    It was around day 50+ where it got especially bad, since the game literally forces you to gaslight a girl into not joining the fight because her obsessive brother wants so. The whole thing is even more frustrating because we have recruited several people who are clearly less suited for fighting than her with no qualms (like, people who get physically ill when they get stressed out or are involved in a conflict), but somehow this healthy, very enthusiastic person is not qualified not be a soldier according to the protag. Mango literally said on stream that, if they weren’t streaming it, that would have been the point where they’d just close the game. In the end, the situation gets resolved when said girl puts her foot down and defends her decision against both the protag and her brother, but it still left a bad aftertaste. I spoiled myself a lot beforehand, and if I hadn’t known that there would be time travel involved, I would have agreed. SO glad that the protag grows a lot in his second run.

    I’m mainly in for the mystery and eito at this point































  • What I watched this season:

    Gundam GQuuuuuux

    • This could have needed a few more episodes to flesh out the character more
    • As someone who hasn’t watched all of the original Gundam stuff, I missed out on a lots of the references and was confused at a few moments
    • yuri-bait >:(
    • otherwise a very fun watch tbh

    Rock is A Lady’s Modesty

    • super fun throughout!

    Apothecary Diaries Season 2

    • Loved the intrigue and the increased political scope this season
    • Maomao be Maomaoing

    To Be Hero X

    • The animation is jaw-droppingly beautiful
    • The first episodes instantly hook you
    • The later stories didn’t grab me as hard but I’m gonna watch this to the end

    The Too-Perfect Saint: Tossed Aside by My Fiancé and Sold to Another Kingdom

    • This one surprised me!
    • I was expecting a run-of-the-mill otome slop story, but what I got was a revenge-plot fuelled by sisterly love
    • Mia is best girl
    • definitely one of the better otome out there
