Here's the deal: If you give me any semblance of a love triangle where two girls are fighting over a guy. I will simply just root for the female characters to fall in love with each other.

#I mean I wouldn't even call this a love triangle it is. the most intentional ridiculous parody of EVERY trope you can think of. #but still. #mc13 watches anime #idk this might be the funniest thing I've ever seen. actually. I'm having such a good time

The way Maomao reacts toward finding medicinal herbs in the court fields is also the way I literally just reacted when I decided to press play on the next episode.

#again. we are on apothecary diaries lockdown for idk how long #because this is what you get when you give me a show that is a) this focused on women and b) centered around a Weird Girl Protagonist #(and I mean ACTUALLY weird in a way that puts people off in-story) #TRULY this has been a breath of fresh air it's SO GOOD #mc13 watches anime #I do miss the first op though #it was a Bop™

[musical-chick-13]

Actually, screw it, I'm starting The Apothecary Diaries.

#will very much NOT finish it this weekend but. what is the point in waiting anymore when it has been on my list for so long #and also I need more main cast women to stan which I've been reliably promised will be provided to me via the protagonist #mc13 watches anime

The sad thing is. 99 times out of 100. Even if an adult female character actually IS mostly one-dimensional and just awful. If she is forthright, unapologetic, and even occasionally remotely competent, I WILL still be in love with her.

#mc13 watches anime #there are like. two exceptions to this. #one of which is not one-dimensional but I have too much of a grudge against her. and the other one who (and I can't believe I'm saying #this) IS a rare case of a truly one-dimentional lady and I do in fact actually on principle hate her

[musical-chick-13]

Also. Suirei, I'm sure, will interest me and become a favorite as well.

#sometimes you can just tell #overly-serious and incredibly shady? sounds about right #torn between hoping this is misdirection (so there can be a complicated female friendship dynamic) and hoping she's plotting #something where she'll end up going completely feral (because. you know. I'm me.) #mc13 watches anime #mel on anime lockdown

[musical-chick-13]

HE'S HER DAD??????

#okay like. I mean. yeah obviously when you look back. but. genuinely I did not even. consider this. #I thought it was a littlefinger situation going on #you know like. 'I couldn't have this lady so I'll exert influence over her daughter and become obsessed with her instead' #but. actually her dad. yikes. #mc13 watches anime #(can't sleep so. you know.) #though I DO appreciate how much our male lead just. fucking hates this guy.

[musical-chick-13]

-_-

#'I will give this man the benefit of the doubt' I said #'maybe him being creepy is misdirection' I said #no he just sucks #mc13 watches anime #PLEASE tell me he's the season antagonist and not some secret ally antihero man

[musical-chick-13]

So sorry to everyone, we are on Apothecary Diaries lockdown for the immediate future.

#I think this is the most episodes of anything I've watched in one day in. probably years. tbh. #mc13 watches anime

[musical-chick-13]

.......Not me going, "Why am I so attached to this random side character guy" and realizing that it's because he reminds me of Twelve.................

#pour one out for the most predictable girl in the world! #mc13 watches anime

[musical-chick-13]

Speaking of girls getting angry, I think Lishu should simply be allowed to kill everyone.

#I'm not kidding. actually. #she deserves it. #I hope she gets to kill someone later on #more shows about traumatized teenage girls committing murder #mc13 watches anime #she starts out with THAT as her backstory. and then she gets harassed by her entourage for no reason. and could have died from it. #and then someone tries to poison her. truly she deserves to go on a murder spree.

[musical-chick-13]

GIRL STRAIGHT UP JUST POISONED SOMEONE FOR BEING AWFUL AND GAVE THEM A LECTURE WHILE DOING IT, CHARACTER OF ALL TIME

#mc13 watches anime #maomao is EVERYTHING to me #despite being--in a roundabout way--an act of conscience this might be one of the most brutal (complimentary) things I've ever seen #good for her! #I love when girls get angry!!!

[musical-chick-13]

We were doing so well.......

#like. most of the things I've seen lately have been free of the Worst Kind Of Anime Bullshit #I was REALLY afraid this was going there. and then it. did. #like it...could be worse? I guess?? #ugh #maybe it was just a Shock Value Moment and this won't be a regular thing-in which case I can deal with it #but if this keeps happening.......yeah no. #mc13 watches anime #the dialogue and worldbuilding are really cool though? like I really hope it was just A Weird Thing that gets moved on from

[musical-chick-13]

...So I (finally) just finished Edgerunners..........

#spoilers in the following tags: #it turns out that I am not immune to overdramatic anime romance #'you didn't need to save me all I ever wanted was for you to live' 'you living your dream is MY dream nothing else ever really mattered' #yeah sure okay. fine. I'm fine. #ugh I really am the sappiest person to ever live I need someone to harden my heart lmao #sometimes I disgust myself with how easy it is for them to Get™ me #mc13 watches anime #story: she unintentionally fucked up the narrative for love #me: oh my god she unintentionally fucked up the narrative for love

[musical-chick-13]

Once AGAIN, like with EVERY thriller, I am *BEGGING* the Reveal™ to be literally anything other than, "It was the protagonist all along because they have [stigmatized mental illness]."

#mc13 watches anime #I'M SO TIRED MAN #it's looking like that's what it is right now but also we're only halfway through #so I can't tell whether this is actual foreshadowing or a misdirection #remember 'kimi'? that movie was good. more things should do that.

[musical-chick-13]

JUST.

Kaeru’s/Kiki’s suffering. How the man who looked for her and helped manage her case admitted that he couldn’t be what she needed to fully heal. And promised her that he would find someone who would. That she believed him, and that was enough. She’s not okay now. But she will be in the future. She got to have a brief moment of true, undistilled life when Narihisago found her alive for the FIRST TIME. IT WASN’T MUCH. BUT IT WAS ENOUGH. SHE’LL WAIT TO BE OKAY, EVEN IF IT TAKES A LONG TIME. SHE’LL HAVE HOPE THAT HER ANGUISH AND TORMENT AND SUFFERING WILL END EVEN IF IT’S HARD EVEN IF SHE HAS TO GO THROUGH HELL FIRST.

I’M-----

#this is...oh this anime was an EXPERIENCE™ #GOD it was so good #that last conversation she had w/momoki I CANNOT #the final monologue about embracing the best part of himself the idea that narihisago doesn't have to let his regrets and mistakes define #him that he can BE BETTER. HIS LIFE HAS MEANING AND HIS CHOICES HAVE MEANING. HE DOESN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH LIFE BEING A #CALLOUS AND BITTER AND VIOLENT MAN HE CAN CHOOSE TO BE SOMETHING ELSE I'M!!!!! FLINGING!!!!!! MYSELF!!!!!!!! INTO!!!!!!!!!! THE SUN!!!!!!!!! #mc13 watches anime #id:invaded #oh this might have cracked into my top 10 of all time

[musical-chick-13]

My thoughts after the s1 finale: Denji is the Only Protagonist, and Aki/Himeno is the Only Ship, thank you for your time.

#mc13 watches anime #oh god I was SO EXCITED when I heard this was getting an anime adaptation and it DELIVERED oh I am /ALIVE/ in a way I haven't been in #/YEARS/ #'vengeance-induced torture screams as a requiem' ROMANCE™. ULTIMATE ROMANCE™ WHEN WILL YOUR FAVES EVER
