Sugar Apple Fairy Tale:

And with that, my rewatch is complete~ Ahh, so many emotions wrapped into a neat little package for me. (laughs) That being said, I really want to look into the light novels for this series (the original source material hehe). But man, it feels good to get back to watching anime. I wonder what I’ll watch next?

Touken Ranbu (anime):

The next anime I chose to watch was the Touken Ranbu anime (Touken Ranbu Kai: Kyoden)! Well, one of them, at least. (laughs) It’s actually supposed to be the anime adaptation of the first Touken Ranbu stage play! I remember watching bits and pieces of the stage play on YouTube way back when, so I’m glad I was finally able to watch it in anime form!

It was only eight episodes, too, so I watched it all in one sitting. I believe there’s one more Hanamaru season I need to watch (season 3!), but I don’t see it listed on Crunchyroll, which is weird considering the first two seasons are. That being said, I really hope they’re able to adapt more stage plays into anime (or even the musicals!) because I would totally watch it! At the end of the last episode, they did tease the plot of the subsequent stage play (the Date swords). So I’m hopeful that the next installment will come eventually!

⭐ Tuesday, 7/2/24 to Sunday, 7/6/24

Since Tuesday and Wednesday were spent packing for Anime Expo (and taking the train to LA after work on Wednesday), I really didn’t do anything except AX prep. And then Thursday to Sunday was Anime Expo weekend. I did the bare minimum for HSR, Twisted Wonderland, and Touken Ranbu (no WUWA since it was just too many games to keep track of). For the sake of my sanity, I also did not watch any anime in my free time.

✨✨✨✨✨

I returned home by train on Sunday afternoon and ended up taking it easy since I had to unpack my suitcase and sort out everything I bought. However, I’m excited for a new week to start! Lots of things I want to get back into, so we’ll see if I can get to them eventually! I want my days to have a little more variety so they don’t feel too same-y.

Until next time! Bye bye~
