Top 3 Shows I Need to Finish

Yes, sometimes loving a show doesn't make you watch it through the end. Maybe that's one of the reasons, knowing that there'll be no more episodes, you just stop watching. Or sometimes you just stop watching and forget about it as your watchlist steadily grow. So here it is: the top 3 series that I love but didn't finish yet. I'm just considering 'recent' series and, of course, already finished. So no ongoing series here.

Friday Finds #3

It's time for a Friday Finds. Here I show you some things that I discovered during the week: books, movies, TV shows, music, and everything else.

The Doctor Recommends: Father Brown

Father Brown is a TV show based on G. K. Chesterton's eponymous books. Featuring a curious and extremely observant parish catholic priest who can't resist the temptation to investigate killings carried out in the country. And of course, there's a lot happening around him.

Atelier: A Refreshing Netflix Original

This time, I went for a Netflix original j-drama, developed by Fuji Television, called Atelier (a.k.a Underwear). Although I've watched Japanese and Chinese movies when I was younger, this was my first Asian TV show.

Killjoys Season 1 Review

After finishing Wynonna Earp's first season, I decided to try Killjoys. I was interested in it before its premiere, but after reading some bad reviews I decided not to watch it. Shame on me, trusting online reviews and not watching even the first episode to have my own opinion. But then I stumbled upon some good reviews on the first season and read a blog post recommending it, so here I am!

First Impressions: Sweetness and Lightning

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a winner already. The most beautiful, cute and touching anime of the season is Sweetness and Lightning (Amaama to Inazuma). IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!

First impressions: Love Live! Sunshine!!

Yes. This season I'll be watching Love Live Sunshine. I never watched Love Live or any idol anime before, with the exception of a couple episodes of The Idolmaster Cinderella Girls. And when I decided to watch it, they announced this new installment so I changed my plans and opted for this one instead.

First Impressions: ReLIFE

This anime didn't caught my attention before the season started. I didn't even add it as plan-to-watch to check it later. Mostly because for some dumb reason I thought it won't be for me, or that it won't be good, and didn't bother to even watch the trailer. But I was wrong, apparently.

Wynonna Earp season 1 review

This was a show that I was anxious to watch. Based on the eponymous comics, Wynonna Earp promised a fun weird-western show, with action and a strong female lead. And it delivered much more than that.

Boku no Hero Academia Review

Spring season is over, and it's time to comment the ones that I enjoyed the most. First of all, Boku no Hero Academia (My Hero Academia), one of the most hyped anime of this season.

My OneNote Dungeons and Dragons character sheet

I'm new to Dungeons and Dragons, and only played the 5th edition starter adventure until now. So far I'm really enjoying it: the battles, the roleplaying, the characters, the story; but I've to admit that keeping notes and updating the character info on paper is annoying sometimes.

I'm the one keeping the adventure's notes and the party loot as well. I don't see a problem with that, except for a few issues: my handwriting is horrible, I write slowly on paper, and after writing and erasing a few times, the paper starts refusing to be written on again. Then I decided to go digital.

My first idea was to continue using a form fillable pdf, but instead of printing it, keeping it on the computer, and then use OneNote to well... write notes. But then I decided to try to go full-on OneNote and here I am to share the initial results.

Finished Lost Mine of Phandelver

Last Sunday my group finished the starter set adventure: Lost Mine of Phandelver. Only 2 characters survived the whole adventure: Zelda, my High Elf Wizard, and Golleros, a Dwarf Barbarian. Also, a new player joined us later.

Summer 2016 Anime

Spring season is approaching its end, and now it's time to talk about what I plan to watch, or more like 'give it a shot' list, next season. I don't want to watch much anime of the season, because there'll be some leftovers, and I still have a lot of anime from past seasons to watch. After all, I'm preferring to watch already completed, blu-ray version, anime. The full list of the season can be found at MyAnimeList.

Below you can check the anime that I'm sure to watch, and also the ones that I have high expectations. In another post, I'll list other interesting anime that I'll try. Stay tuned.

Sure to Watch

Shokugeki no Souma: Ni no Sara - MAL

I really loved Shokugeki no Soma, and I was avid to watch more of it. If you didn't watch it, DO IT! The first few episodes have a lot of fanservice, but it fades along the series.

Nanatsu no Taizai: Seisen no Shirushi - MAL

Another anime that I loved! I finished it last week, ad I'm totally going to watch the continuation.

High Expectations

Battery - MAL

It's been a log time since I watched a sports anime. Plus, I wanted to watch Diamond no Ace, or ani other baseball anime, but they're too long. This one seems good, and not focused on giving 'fangirl moments' with episodes filled with ships. THANK YOU ZEUS!

Love Live! Sunshine!! - MAL

I was planning on FINALLY watching Love Live. My concern was the sheer amount of episodes. Seems like this one is a brand new series.

Amaama to Inazuma - MAL

I'm always in need of another cute and cozy slice-of-life anime. This one seems to do the job :)

Penny Dreadful: The Day Tennyson Died

Ladies and gentlemen, Penny Dreadful is back for another season, and after watching the season premiere, I can't help but have high hopes for this season, and feel extremely anxious for the upcoming episodes. As usual, I grabbed a beer suited for the colder weather we have now (I live in Brazil), turned off the lights and started watching the episode.

Warning: this post contains spoilers

Spring Anime 2016 - First Impressions

It's time for another first impressions post, with my reviews about Spring 2016 anime that I watched. Between brackets is the number of episodes I've watched so far / Total.

Netoge no Yome wa Onnanoko ja Nai to Omotta?

First Impressions: Wynonna Earp

Last week I decided to give Wynonna Earp a try. After the first episode premiered, the poor IMDB and Trakt.tv ratings made me put this show aside. But then I read some reviews, stumbled over twitter reactions, and thought: "Why not? It's the kind of show I usually love". I happened to love it, and I guess sometimes we learn (or remember) a life lesson, and this time, it's about not trusting online ratings for TV shows.

Wynonna Earp follows Wyatt Earp's great granddaughter as she battles demons and other creatures. With her unique abilities, and a posse of dysfunctional allies, she's the only thing that can bring the paranormal to justice.

Dungeons and Dragons: Our second session

In the last session

We helped some goblins defeat a bugbear, them went to the city and learned about problems that are afflicting the citizens, including thieves, orcs, and a banshee.

The Doctor Recommends: Soul Eater Not

I admit that I never read or watched Soul Eater, although I want to, but I don't see this changing because it's a long manga/anime series. But this spin-off is a good way to experience the world created by Atsushi Ohkubo. It has only 5 volumes/12 episodes, and it's lovely and fun.

My first dungeons and dragons session

This Sunday we had our first dungeons and dragons (5th edition) session. A week before we met just to get to know each other, create our characters and we played a bit of the Pathfinder card game. But now we started the adventure from the starter set, slew some goblins and had a lot of fun.

Review: The Assassin's Curse Duology

This is a book series (duology) that is not that famous (I think) but worth reading.

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to an allying pirate clan: she wants to captain her own boat, not serve as second-in-command to her handsome yet clueless fiance. But her escape has dire consequences when she learns the scorned clan has sent an assassin after her.

And when the assassin, Naji, finally catches up with her, things get even worse. Ananna inadvertently triggers a nasty curse — with a life-altering result. Now Ananna and Naji are forced to become uneasy allies as they work together to break the curse and return their lives back to normal. Or at least as normal as the lives of a pirate and an assassin can be.
