Why thanks is both evil and an idiot:

Have you ever thought about thanos’ plan? He wants to kill half the life in the universe, but that’s just... so arbitrary? Like, did he do a socio-economic story of all civilisations in the universe and decide “alright, if we kill exactly half, everyone will be fine”? Yeah, I think the f*ck not. So this big old grape motherf*cker was just like ‘eh, I can’t be bothered to calculate the minimum number of people I need to kill to save each planet, so let’s make it half, just to be safe.’ Because he’s evil and an idiot

Alright I know no one probably cares but here’s a really f*cked up thing my brain has been doing recently: first of all, I’m a procrastinator. Like, a really bad one. It gets me into trouble a lot but with the right combination of luck and panic I’ve managed to get by. Now, anyone that knows much about procrastinators knows that as deadlines approach the ‘panic monster’ takes over our brains and the instant gratification monkey is shoved out the way. Well here’s the f*cky thing: I’m so used to being a procrastinator and know how my brain works and how I function so well that it’s not even surprising when the panic monster shows up, and as a result I have started to procrastinate feeling panicked. I know when the panic monster is going to show up and I know that I’m going to have to do work so my brain is just like “eh, it’s fine, the panic monster will have enough time to do his job.” Of course now he doesn’t and everything sucks, but whatcha gonna do, ey?

First impression: angels of death

I’ll be honest, I’m a little bit let down. This show seemed to have a lot of promise but it hasn’t really delivered so far. It seems to be trying really hard to be scary and edgy and it just isn’t working. The mystery aspect isn’t particularly compelling because we have *no* context whatsoever. Of course there are the questions of ‘what is this building?why are the residents here and why are they all nuts? Who is Rachel and why is she there?’ The problem is that we have no answers of any sort, nothing to compel us to want to learn more and it doesn’t seem like it intends for us to know anything any time soon. I have a bad feeling that this show is going to remain mostly mysterious up until an exposition dump. But perhaps I’m being hasty, I guess we’ll find out. It’s one major redeeming quality is Rachel. Her dissociation and desire to die is actually a somewhat compelling plot point, and whilst I couldn’t care less about the building or zack, I will probably continue to watch just for the sake of learning more about her.

A brief review: yuru camp

Yuru camp, or laid-back camp as it’s called in English, is a 12 episode, slice of life series, primarily following two girls in particular, Rin, and Nadeshiko. Rin is a quiet, reserved introvert who enjoys camping in the winter when there are fewer people around. On one of her trips, she encounters Nadeshiko, a loud, exuberant, genki girl. After sharing some ramen the two become friends and the series kicks off from there. However this is where yuru camp shines: Rin does not come out of her shell. The loner becoming part of a group and learning the value of friendship is a well worn trope in anime, and yuru camp throws it out the window. When Nadeshiko joins her schools camping club, she invites Rin to join as well, but is turned down, bacause, as I I said before, Rin is an introvert who likes camping alone.

As an introvert myself, i can say with confidence that this show handles Rin’s character perfectly. She doesn’t hate camping with others, and happily joins nadeshiko on several occasions, but at the same time her first preference is to go it alone. Nadeshiko as well is quite refreshing, in that she immediately backs off once Rin declines her offer to join the club, and respects Rin’s boundaries.

The excellent portrayal of introverts aside, yuru camp is incredibly relaxing to watch. Moe shows of this sort are meant to be lighthearted and relaxing, but few do it quite this well. The show is very light on conflict, instead decoding to fill the time with characters enjoying their surroundings, talking about food and camping gear, or just doing camping things. Despite this, it never feels slow. I never felt bored, like the show was just trying to fill in the time.

Overal, I loved yuru camp. It isn’t likely to make you laugh, won’t make you hold your breath in any way, won’t even make you care deeply about the characters. But if you’re stressed, exhausted, if you’ve had a long day at work or just come back from dinner with the in-laws, then I can’t think of anything more perfect to help you relax. Therefore, i present it with the rating of 9 golden geese out of 10
