I was in northern Tohoku region near Aomori. I also visited Tokyo 2 times. More rural Japan is very different than Tokyo to say the least. I ate a bunch of different things that I wouldn't normally eat like a Tempura with head intact, Sushi, Yakiniku, Octopus, Indian Curry etc. I even made some home made food like dipping Yakisoba, Japanese Curry, classic Ramen etc.

And yeah first meal back was a 1/2 lb Cheeseburger, already got that accomplished.

That sounds really cool! It seems like a ton of fun. Some interesting dishes too @_@ Making me jealous...

Nice to know we think alike too, I'm sure you feel right back at home after that thicc burger.

Karakuri Circus -- That severed arm.  I laughed and laughed.  I paused the video and laughed.  There are things I like about this series (Shirogane) but it can be so ridiculous, cheesy, and over-the-top dramatic.  I end up laughing at the wrong places.  

Still, there are positives.

Space fishing girls in space -- I don't know why I watch this.  It's not like I intend to watch it, it just seems to be there when I'm bored.  That being said, I really like that the girls have different accents.  I think that's awesome and something that should show up in more anime.  I also like Maki Maki and love her voice.  It sounds ... real.  That's also something I'd like more of in anime.  

I wish I could watch more but I just don't have the time anymore. I can barely catch my weekly dose of Zombieland Saga. I remember the days when I could watch 20+ animes a season. This season I'm officially down to just 3, though there are a handful more that I would want to watch. Meanwhile I'm still trying to finish animes from 2 seasons ago.
Life sucks.

Anyone else have a real problem finishing episodes? I keep starting new episodes only to realize I'm lost because I didn't finish watching the previous episode all the way through. The only time I can count on finishing an episode is if my supper is big enough that it takes up most of the runtime.

I think I'm just going to have to start eating more.

It is not a real problem per se, but I have a common habit of switching tabs during a boring part of an episode and then restarting some other time. Some episodes can be a drag with multiple times switching tabs, but eventually it gets done.

I've been trying to watch Jashin-chan no Dropkick for a few weeks now. I always start an episode before sleep and then I make it through like 5 minutes before I doze off. I think I finished 2 episodes so far.

I also watch anime almost exclusively during meals, it's just easier for me to keep up with it if I make it a routine. Slime on Mondays, Backlog on Tuesdays/Wednesdays, Zombieland on Thursdays, etc.

Though I never have a problem finishing episodes, usually if I stop in the middle its because either the anime is awful or the Crunchyroll app is being crap. It also helps that Mao takes up residence on my lap if I ever sit down somewhere more than 5 minutes...so I'm basically trapped in one spot for a while. Only a rotten bastard would wake up a sleeping cat.

Yep my middle school and high school days consisted of watching anime for hours. Now it's either i'm too busy or I don't want to spend my free time watching anime.

I finished Darling in the Franxx (24 episodes). An anime with a lot of potential but in the end squandered its opportunity. The identity crisis midway through made for a very different anime in the last cour. At least the last cour started with one of the best EDs called "XX:me - Escape". It felt like my Astronomy exams, taking my time making sure I get good answers and then I realize that 5 minutes is left and have to rush through, the last 7 or so episodes could have been done better. Also very disappointed the klaxxasaurs didn't use their greatest weapon the giant hand! That thing completely destroyed everything, although it might have been a budget thing because it looked terrifying. I do feel like many things were dropped like that, that would have been appreciated and some things felt pointless like mind wiping Mitsuru and Kokoro. I did really like the main plot points with the humans to have kids and build relationships. As well as caring for the environment. I always like world building and alternate worlds and new aliens. Future technology is really cool, and I am not sure if having eternal happiness is a bad thing without pain and suffering. Most anime tend to dislike idealism though. Overall a solid anime, but disappointing.
