Fuck me I hate baseball

uuuuuuggggghhh this fucking Blue Jays team I don't think there's going to be a Game #3 on Sunday...

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 swayed me to start reading Jujutsu Kaisen next, so Claymore will stay on the backburner for a while yet. I was going to pick up the manga where the anime left off (around chapter 64, I think) but I might as well just read it from the start and get a refresher on what was covered in the anime. I finished Death Note last weekend. In the end, I wasn't a huge fan. Interesting ideas, but I ultimately didn't love the execution of it. I will spoiler my rambling thoughts...

I watched the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie today and it's effing rad. Loved it. Very tempted to re-watch the anime, but I think I will start reading the manga instead.

What about Yurei Deco!? Did you finish it? I am rewatching it with my daughter (she really likes it so far, 4 episodes in) and I still think it is fantastic.

Bring it on, Seattle! Game times: Friday 4:07 PM Eastern Saturday 4:07 Eastern Sunday 2:07 Eastern if needed I'm cutting loose from work early on Friday

There's still a chance it's Tampa coming to Toronto, but, yeah, I think Seattle is more likely. Either way, bring it on! The Jays are playing really well right now. If it's Seattle coming, then I would bet that the first game pitching match up is Manoah vs. Castillo. I expect Toronto to throw Gausman out for Game #2, but he did leave his start early this week due to a cut on his finger. If the Jays win Game #1 then they might take a chance on Stripling for Game #2, as he's pitched so well this summer too. If they can sweep the M's in two games then that buys a bit more time for Gausman's finger to recover. His middle finger is key to throwing his splitter, so if a cut or blister is bothering him then he might not be as effective as usual. I'm thinking about trying to score a ticket for Friday or Saturday... not sure I can afford it though, even way up in the nosebleeds.

Watched the Prologue again tonight before episode 1. Fantastic stuff. I am so hyped for this series! Even if it wasn't great, I'd be watching a new Gundam pretty much no matter what, but so far I think this is fantastic and I can't wait to see more.

Gonna watch the new episode tonight Chapter 68.1

Has anybody else seen it yet? I took my daughter to see it yesterday afternoon, and we both enjoyed it quite a bit! The movie was dubbed, which isn't my preference, but oh well. On such a big screen, I might have missed all the action while reading subs. I'll add in my thoughts and comments later, don't have time to type it all up now.

Yeah, I agree it was pretty great. Me and the kiddo re-watched the Broly movie about a week after seeing Super Hero at the theatre. I might have actually liked Super Hero just a biiiit better, but they're two very solid DB movies, no matter which way you slice it. I want more!

Finished Bastard!! last night. Looks like there's more yet to come.

Pretty much a perfect weekend for the Jays with a sweep of Boston. I think all they need is one more win, or an M's loss, to clinch home field advantage in the WC Series. The Red Sox got absolutely destroyed by their AL East rivals this summer. The just barely had a winning record vs. Baltimore (10-9) but it wasn't even close for Boston in the season series vs. Toronto, Tampa, and NYY. You should look up their season splits. It's pretty hilarious.

Make time for Gundam!

Pretty solid finish to Overload IV. I knew something was off about Renner, but wow Climb got mixed up with the wrong girl! I guess we'll get another season eventually... seems like it's still pretty popular, and there is a lot more source material left to cover. I'm glad this season is over now though. I've had my fill for a little while.

Maybe Seattle actually is collapsing..? You can't lose to the Rangers right now. Lucky for them, Baltimore also lost last night. The other AL Central teams are most liklely a non-factor now, so I think it's only Baltimore that have a chance of catching Seattle if they blow it.

It's decided then! Claymore is next on the reading list after I finish Death Note

I dunno, I'm getting a bit skeptical of Cleveland now. They're certainly winning a lot of games here in September, but the AL Central is such a weak division. They've been playing some pretty bad teams (in and outside the division) this month. They might not fair as well when they start playing good teams in the postseason. The Jays won last night, Vladdy walked it off in the 10th. And Judge didn't homer. Yay!

re: Death Note: I was getting bored for a bit there after Light went into hiding, but the investigation into Yotsuba and the ensuing trap to capture Higuchi renewed my interest. Those chapters were pretty exciting. Light getting ahold of the notebook and regaining his memories--that evil look that flashes across his face in the helicopter--was worth the wait. My interest level has dropped a bit since the introduction of Mello and Near, not sure if I like either of them yet... but I am curious to see what happens next. I'm at chapter 65. Sayu's just been rescued (unless they end up dying anyways? ) and the notebook is apparently going to fly away on a missile... I've been thinking about reading that after Death Note... Haven't made up my mind yet though

But... Seattle's remaining 10 games are against terrible teams, all at home in Seattle. This is a perfect opportunity to get going right again.

I started watching the first episode of this last night but I was kinda drunk and very tired and don't remember anything about it I will try again another night.

I'm not sure it's possible for the M's to blow it... who's going to catch them? Baltimore? I have my doubts about that... The Jays finally won a game today..! I can't watch this team play at The Trop. Nothing good ever happens for the Jays there

That was a very solid finish to LycoReco. But Yurei Deco might still be AOTS for me. Kind of splitting hairs at this point though. Two very, very good anime originals in one season! Also, Shadows House Season 2 was far better than the first season IMHO. Watched it with the kiddo and we enjoyed it a lot.

I started reading Death Note this week. Not entirely sure why... to see what all the fuss is about, I guess? Boredom? I'm about 40 chapters in, so I'm zipping through it pretty quick. There are some interesting ideas and characters. But it's also kinda dumb. Given what I already know about how Platinum End finished, my expectations are very low

New Gundam series coming this Fall!!! There is a prologue episode up on the Gundam YT channel. Gonna watch it tonight. How did I not notice this until today!?!
