there's this manga bit that i'm so sad was left out of the anime so ill just tell yall ab it loll
So basically, last halloween, the hitachiins pranked tamaki a ton when he didn't give them candy, yk the whole 'trick or treat?' thing kids do
this year, they wanted to do the same to haruhi, but tamaki knew they would try that so he basically forced haruhi to bring pounds of candy everywhere with her
and when he reveals this the twins r disappointed asff bc they were rly excited to terrorise haruhi 💀

media update..... went back and rewatched the beginning of/finally finished the amazon league of their own series on the day i spent vegging on the couch because they drugged me up in the ER the night before. good show! janet thegoodplace was so very hot in it. max was also so very hot in it. sad the writers strike nixed the 4 more episodes it was gonna get but this is a tradeoff we make
i also watched the first episode of a show called on becoming a god in central florida which i'd never heard of until the other day and felt intrigued enough to check it out. i watched the first episode and there was a lot of setup happening there but im willing to see where it goes for now. kirsten dunst plays a water park employee who is the wife of a man that gets sucked deep into an mlm personality cult. i enjoy the character they have set up for her but since i only watched one episode i dont have much to say on it yet but i get the feeling that this could be a real underrated gem if it manages to deliver on its premise
i started reading dead dead demon's dededede destruction. not liveblogging it just because I Did Not Feel Like Doing That. not sure how i feel about it so far, in the sense that i'm just not really sure what to make of it. i'm about 25% of the way through. im certainly intrigued by its tone, atmosphere, and art style. i thought the character proportions looked familiar so i googled the mangaka and it turns out its the oyasumi punpun guy? now i haven't read punpun and all i know about it is that this is a manga for profoundly mentally ill people so i was like. ah okay. and i feel like that's contextualized it for me a bit. i really like ouran.
i keep trying to get through murderbot book 2 but guys these books are just super fucking boring. why is so much popular stuff so boring.

I'm curious. What are your top 10 favorite shoujos of all time? (LN, Anime, Manga) Can you rank them from: I'll always love them and I'm very invested with them; to I like them, but I'm not very invested?
(why is it that the second someone asks me for anime recs or listing my fave series, I suddenly forget every series i ever read/watched lmao it is a curse)
Just as a reminder, these are series I either watched recently or remember at the top of my mind because of sheer popularity. Also, my bad in advance if it turns out some of these aren't shojo but shonen (reason I didn't include Skip&Loafer, for example).
With that out of the way, my top 10 fave shojos in order (that I would and have rewatched multiple times):
Revolutionary Girl Utena.
A classic. It's got it all: the esthetics, the slightly surreal aspect of the world, the trope deconstruction, tackling rarely addressed issues (such as patriarchy, heteronormativity, the changes puberty brings to a teenage girl, etc.) as well as some... more sensitive ones (there's a reason there's so many trigger warning lists for RGU). Also, the music SLAPS.
SAFT (both anime and LN).
Just look at my Sugar Apple Fairy Tale tag. I've liveblogged every episode of this show since I learned of its existence. I was looking forward to the previews. I fell into this head first and it was some of the best experience I had with a series!
It was right up my alley: sunshine hardworking girl winning over the people around her thanks to her kindness and optimism + grumpy stoic traumatized man who becomes softer and grows thanks to her set in a semi-fantasy Europe-based world.
I liked that both Anne and Shall had to deal with discrimination (Anne as a girl in a male-dominated industry, Shall as a fairy in a human-led society) and how the later LN volumes address those issues (instead of fairy slavery and sexism being just background lore).
The show can be really pretty when it wants to, and the music is also very nice.
7th Time Loop (both anime and LN).
Just like with SAFT, I'm obsessed. The anime is doing such a good job adapting the source material at a good pace, the quality is great, and the VAs are killing it.
The LN also has very tight writing: the author has an eye for adding details that seem unassuming/offhanded at first, but end up being crucial.
Rishe's and Arnold's characters and dynamic are phenomenal. Just look at my 7th time loop tag
Akatsuki no Yona (the anime/early corresponding manga arcs).
My Love Story with Yamada-kun at LVL 999.
Ouran High School Host Club (the anime).
I'm a sucker for romance, but where OHSHC got me is with its humor. The first episode is a classic, and I will always love the light bulbs scene as each member of the host club figures out Haruhi is a girl.
Tamaki is a riot, the perfect blend of goofy, perceptive, and introspective. He deals with some serious issues, but he never lets them drag him down or, at the very least, affect his precious ones.
What's great about OHSHC too is the character growth in the second half of the show. The series lures you in thinking it's just a comedic slice of life high school romance only to hit you with some real feels when it reveals its characters' backstories, fears, and reflections.
My Happy Marriage.
Kimi ni Todoke.
Ones for a cute ride: Lovely Complex, Kamisama Hajimemashita, Akagami no Shirayukhime, Donten Ni Warau
Ones I've watched that were good, but lost interest in (mostly due to being too long or me catching up the latest release and not keeping up after): Skip Beat, Fruits Basket, Sailor Moon (the 1990s anime), Niehime
Ones I remember watching but won't ever watch again because I've outgrown the target demographic: Special A, Shugo Chara, Tokyo Mew Mew, Fushigi Yugi, Itazura Kiss
Ones I heard good praise for and want to check someday: Rose of Versailles, Basara, Colette Decides to Die
