Well here’s another podcast episode! If you’re interested, you can read the original post I wrote in the past. This episode is based on this post as linked below.
As you read this I’m trying to get over jetlag in Budapest. I’d be curious to see what other people think about this topic.
I think I have a few ideas of for future posts. There are a couple of anime series I had been watching. I’m trying to catch up on some manhwa as well.
If there are things you’re watching or reading, I’m happy to hear about it in the comments!

The 3 Tropes That Annoy Me The Most
This time I discuss three tropes I personally find annoying:
1) Harems
2) Female protagonists with abusive male characters
3) Overpowered protagonists

Episode 30 - Bonjour Sweet Love Patisserie
Well I’ll apologize that this isn’t really a new content post. I decided to do an episode of the podcast this time. This is actually an audio version of a review I had previous done last year. I also need to apologize on the sound quality. Descript was being really weird. I just don’t feel like re-recording it.
You can read the full written version right here:
Just so you don’t feel “cheated” by not getting a more substantive content, I’ll be sharing some notable things.
* As I was recording this episode I used the linked post as a rough script. What I didn’t realize was that Crunchyroll took off this anime series. Not sure if the license expired or it’s not popular so no reason to keep it in their library?
* I have been watching and reading things. So don’t worry I’ll be posting some actual new content on here. It’s just that I’m still reading/watching those things. I try where possible to finish stuff before commenting about them.
* I’m only now just discovering The Amazing Digital Circus. Apparently people on the internet have been watching this series for the past 2 1/2 years. I guess it’s just because of what type of stuff I tend to watch on YouTube that I literally NEVER heard of this show. I have plans to write a post about it. You might wonder why I’d write about something NOT Japanese or Korean on here. It’s because it’s reminding me of an anime series and no, it’s not the one most people think of. Admittedly I haven’t watched Sword Art Online. Probably I’m better off NOT watching it BEFORE I write this essay first.
As a side note, the next post will be July 5 as scheduled. I will make sure to have something posted then. I might make sure I write something ahead of time.
