Band-Maid last night was fantastic as expected, sure feels good to have a favorite band. Had a great view right in front of MISA slapping the ol' bass around and everyone had great energy. Plenty of goodnatured tomfoolery including leading a cheer for the Hanshin Tigers. Can't wait for 2028!

Finished My Royal Nemesis and I enjoyed it overall but feel like it had untapped potential. It kinda neglects the premise for long stretches, and ultimately I just wasn't that invested in rooting for the relationship relative to everything else the characters were doing as individuals.

Started on #kdrama My Royal Nemesis and I wonder if there's a lot of archaic vocabulary jokes being lost in the translation. Like she absolutely sells it with her delivery anyway, I just wonder.

Finished Pursuit of Jade and it's a very likeable mess. Three separate shows as far as the vibes of each third of it go, but the leads build up so much goodwill that it works. And heck, that kind of sprawling "I forgot about this character for 15 episodes" storytelling is what I like #cdrama for

Almost through Pursuit of Jade and it's disjointed the way it moves over the course of the show from cozy slice of life to battlefields to court intrigue but I think it sort of makes a cohesive whole. We see the court scheming after we see the soldiers and peasants who died for it

P-Mack @p-mack.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Pursuit of Jade is good clean fun for the most part, but the little touch with the fingers through the paper window in episode 33 is definitely coming from deep in the brain of the right kind of weirdo

Gundam is the story of Amuro Ray and everyone else, who cope with not being Amuro Ray with an absolutely staggering spread of success. Many thrive within the framework of not being Amuro Ray. But some of these folks, they don't handle not being Amuro Ray well at all.

You have two minutes and fifty-seven seconds. You can spend it arguing politics on a niche micro-blogging website, or you can listen to "Powertime" by Spirit Caravan. Choose now.

Love in #cdrama where the plot introduces some super rare healing herb and the translator has to make a judgement call on whether to use the obscure Chinese name from some Song Dynasty pharmacopoeia or translate it into the equally obscure modern botanical Latin scientific name

Frankly I think a William Shatner cover of "Life of a Showgirl" would rule

P-Mack @p-mack.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Just finished "I am Married... But!” a really nice Taiwanese #cdrama. All depends on where you are in your life but for me it really hit as far as what life was like when you're thirty, married and trying to make it all work out. It's funny, romantic, but not quite sappy enough to be a true romcom.

Finished Bon Appetit, Your Majesty. Pretty fun #kdrama, made a pretty basic time travel premise work. The leads were good and the food looked tasty. Hell Joseon definitely didn't look like a fun place and they let the bad boy actually be bad, so it's occasionally grim but still silly.

P-Mack @p-mack.bsky.social · 16/08/2026

Finished Perfect Match, thought it was a perfectly cromulent #cdrama. 4th daughter's story was my favorite and you could easily make a whole series out of the premise of precocious young wife secretly helping her husband solve courtroom mysteries. 5th daughter's was fun,

Oh, yeah, that's our new concubine, figured it was about time. Wait, honey, why are you making that face? She can play the zither! I thought you liked the zither! Fine, fine I'll sleep on the beautifully lacquered couch tonight, just let me grab my hard ceramic pillow

Halfway through Perfect Match now and vaguely baffled by Du Yangxi's arc doing the "pretend to be abusive but it was actually a clever scheme" trope only to immediately start a new arc right after where he's *actually* a total piece of shit. #cdrama

Just saw a funny moment in the last inning of 中京 vs. 霞ケ浦 when the ball somehow managed to find its way down the neck of the shortstop's shirt. #koshien #sportsbloopers

P-Mack @p-mack.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Started watching Perfect Match since I was in the #cdrama mood and it seems fine but I get why people might hate it. It will have serious stuff like "guy sexually assaulted my sister so our male relatives will beat the shit out of him and make him leave town" and that is like yeah, Song Dynasty.

Had to explain to my daughter why the catcher tagged the batter after a strikeout in the second inning, only to see what would become the winning run make it to first on a passed ball third strike in the eighth. The foreshadowing paid off

Watched Perfect Blue last night. My take is that the parts of the story that weren't "real" is "all of them" because the film is explicitly reminding us that the media we view isn't real. Being animated and not live action is an important artistic component there
