longing for a simpler time

huh, i wonder if my old blog is still up. anyway. anyway

knowing that you can do, like, closed communities on here is pretty sweet. i can get the whole system on here and we can vibe with old-timey blogs.

i'm actually really surprised the dreamwidth community is still pretty active??? i mean i'm really glad it is because i don't want platforms like this to disappear. but it's still surprising. i know i have friends that (used to? still?) use dreamwidth, but i don't think i'll tell them i made an account. :-)

i guess i'll spend the rest of my day setting up everyone's accounts and linking them to the system blog. whew.

Railgun Rewatch 2021: Season 1 Episode 13

what the hell is this?
i want to get back into the groove of actually blogging (NOT tumblr-style), so i figured since i'm really into watching old anime i used to like, why not start posting about it? a certain scientific railgun was my favorite anime when i was younger, but now it's kind of. eh. but i still feel very strongly about it.

why are you starting on episode 13?
that's just the episode i'm on right now. i really don't want to start over again.



summary: this is. the beach episode. you know, how every anime needs to have one? essentially the entire cast gets invited to model swimsuits. this episode is allllll fanservice.

overall score: 2/10
i almost skipped this one entirely. i could have, with zero consequence. but i didn't, and ONLY because i love uiharu in this episode.

uncomfortable moments: 6 (mostly kuroko being creepy + weird comments about boobs, but it IS the beach episode so i expected this number to be high)

Railgun Rewatch 2021: Season 1 Episode 14

 OH MY GOD, I FORGOT ABOUT THE BABY TEACHER.



summary: on a school holiday, saten is sent to a "special lesson" at a different school, along with a handful of other low-level/non-espers (hint: they're all level upper users from the previous arc). the special lesson turns out to be a day-long course on ability development.

overall rating: 7/10

uncomfortable moments: 1 (wlw as the butt of jokes, as is the way of this anime)
