media i consumed in april!!
i thought it would be fun to talk about some of the stuff i consumed during the month!
this includes movies, tv shows, books, etc!
click on the images if you want to see more info about them (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
Silver Diamond
PEAK!!
the plot is super cool and i absolutely love the art style
i saw this as a recommendation for fans of yotd, and it's just as good :D
i adore the friend group and the whole setting is AMAZING!!
and the ending?! IM SOBBING they're so cute UGHHH
i had to get a physical copy of vol 1 after this omg i 100% reccomend
just kinda sad that the romance was only implied uhuu
Hatori and Furuta's Extraordinarily Ordinary Life
this was really cool!
it seems like your average slice-of-life, but the fantasy element is amazing!!
this is such a short hidden gem and i hope it gets more chapters!
Anaconda (2025)
CRAZY!! the plot twists just kept coming LMAO!
this was really stupid and its defo not the best movie,
but it was totally enjoyable LOL
(the ice cube cameo tho? ew..
its sort of giving corporate slop)
Doukyuusei (movie)
cute ig! i read the manga months ago,
and i sorta see why i didnt like it that much lol!
the romance is really cute,
and i think the animation is absolutely beautiful,
but i cant get past the creep teacher UGH!!
it was completely unnecesary to add,
since it didnt even contribute to the mcs character,
and sorta just seemed like a thing the author likes.
And apparently that teacher ends up with ANOTHER student
.. EWWWW
tamon's b-side!
i saw tons of ppl saying this was like their fav shoujo ever so i started
watching the show..and its honestly kinda overrated LOL!
utage has like no personality besides her obession with tamon,
and thats clearly to let the audience use her as a self-insert.
and dude i love emotional men but tamon man.. it got annoying after a while.
I mean besides that it was okay!!
The artstyle is gorg and the dialogue was really funny!
I just think its really hard to make an idol/fan romance haha
(also ouri is growing on me omg hes such a cutie)
One Piece Live Action S2
fun! the pacing was like super weird but its ok!!
not my fav as odas writing is just really poor but i enjoyed watching it.
the budget must've been insane cuz the special effects and outfits were real cool!!
chopper's scary form looked crazy tho haha!!
There's No Freaking Way
I'll Be Your Lover! Unless..
did not expect this to be so good LOL!! usually im kinda scared of harem animes
(esp yuri.. the intended audience is creeps most of the time)
and the name kinda threw me off but this is great!!
the artstyle is gorg and the romance had me kicking my feet ahh (๑ > ᴗ < ๑)
the first love interest (mai) is sort of a jerk and crosses boundaries tho sigh..
and GOD was it FREAKY!! kinda loved that hehe(,,>﹏<,,)
also i adore ajisai omg shes so adorable
(and did not expect actually good poly rep?)
Chobits
a lot of people really enjoy this show, and i absolutely adore the theme song, so i finally tried to watch this show.. OMG.
i could not .·°՞(≧□≦)՞°·.
but i could not STAND this. maybe im too woke idk i might pick it up later
and see if it gets better bc chii has such a cute design and the idea could work well ig
im fine with ecchi and stuff but the way the mc goes about is just UGHH
Psych
silly! im like spirtually shawn spencer trust
anyway usually i stray away from these long detective shows
but the comedy aspect is just so good!!
the misogyny is crazy though the women are just used
as plot devices or as a way to fuel shawn's ego..
also don't like how he can never lose to ANYONE
or have his ego shattered - GO TO THERAPY DAWG
we know you have daddy issues!!!!
i could barely finish s2 bc of how bad the sexism was omg
(also shawn x lassie 4ever)
Pinky Up
this song just PMO!!
i really liked some of katseye's older songs, and i was really happy
that this global group became so popular in both the states and korea
- but now.. they keep switching identities,
like their concept is just being different races,
and their swap between touch and gnarly wasn't even that shocking
because they hadn't even fully established themselves as a cute concept.
Gnarly was catchy, but internet girl was just absolute garbage.
The lyrics make no sense, and the baby voice is so annoying,
and its COMPLETELY AI SLOP. one of the biggest girl groups
from one of the biggest entertainment companies hired
an AI COMPANY to produce.. i thought they were going to redeem themselves
with pinky up after the backlash from their last song,
but its still horrible!! i think the demo was made by a real person,
but the rest of the lyrics outside the chorus make NO sense
and the sections don't even tie together.
and the random breaks with an AD PLACEMENT??
good for manon for leaving - these girls deserve better..
Delulu Pack
SO GORG!! I've heard some of kiikii's older songs,
but they were a bit too bland for my taste
. but this album is AMAZING!! i love the y2k concept
and the creative direction is just beautiful
both 404(new era) and delulu are so catchy!!!!
i hope they continue with these kind of songs in the future~
Catch Catch
im so addicted to this song..
ive been a big fan of yena since nemonemo came out, and i just adore her concept!! her songs
are soo addicting and i kind of enjoy her high pitched voice LOL!
yena is the savior of 2026 kpop haha
Stick With You
BEAUTIFUL!!!! its so great that kpop is returning to its roots!!
all of the vocals are GORG and not to mention HOLY FACECARDS!!!
stan txt
KILLA (Face the other me)
so so so good!! ive never really been into kep1er
so this was a great introduction!!
guess the entire huening family is talented omg
Honey
adorable song! ive heard of kara and seen their AMAZING outfits
but this is the first song ive heard from them!!
it feels straight out of some cutesy dress-up game i love
work
BADDIES!!!!!
i love how asian countries outside of east asia are also
getting their footing in international music!
not my kinda song but these girls are so talented holy
a-ha
i can't say how much i like these vocals ENOUGH!! soo underrated i love
it's me
this is so different omg!!
i didnt expect illit to do smth like this
but the sound is still uniquely theirs!!
its kinda experimental but its enjoyable
i am kinda annoyed that hybe is forcing all their girl groups
to do this edm-style music..
i dont think illit's made for it lol
tokyo reggie
PEAK!!! i adore this genre of japanese music,
and this masayoshi guy is AMAZING!!
usually tiktok famous music kinda sucks,
but this is incredible!!
defo wanna listen to more of takanakas stuff omg
Attack of the Friday Monsters
So cute!! this is such a nice short game and i adore the artstyle
(it reminds me of boku no natsuyasumi, which i really wanna play too)!!
Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream
AMAZING. im sooo so soo addicted to this game its adorable!!!
i always love a cutesy sim game YAY
(and its so weird and silly!!)
i tried to play the original on 3Ds but i ragequit
bc my mii never made friends LOL (lore accurate ig..)
Invisible Women
i sort of slacked on reading this month, which i did to fully absorb this book.
i cant believe how many prejudices still affect women, that can even prove fatal.
this book does an incredibe job of highlighting how male-biased this world is,
and how simple it is to fix. cannot reccomend enough omg
