Kuku's Random Diary — 2023.4.24 ☁

Let me share a few new anime this season that I've really enjoyed.

First up, "Dazzling Youth."

It's a pretty standard romance anime.

It follows a girl who grew up in the countryside moving to Tokyo for high school, with plenty of funny "country kid experiencing Tokyo for the first time" moments, and she meets a blond-haired male lead (he's basically a giant golden retriever, so cute). There's a whole cast of classmates too, but since it's billed as a romance show,

of course there's the usual web of who likes who and who likes who else.

The male lead being basically a big dog is genuinely adorable, worth checking out.

The blond character on the right side is great too.

Next, "Hell's Paradise."

I feel like a lot of people are following this one this season.

The premise is pretty distinctive.

It follows a group of death-row inmates sent to an island full of monsters, but a beautiful one, searching for the elixir of immortality.

I don't think I need to explain much more, honestly everyone's just here for the female ninja.

*Myself included.*

Next, "Heavenly Delusion."

I genuinely don't know how to describe this one, so I'll just say:

(Wow, I'm actually kind of a genius for coming up with that dodge.... otherwise I feel like my description would've been terrible)

At first the setting reminded me a bit of "The Promised Neverland."

(Maybe that's just how this genre of anime tends to feel.)

But the overall atmosphere, the music, the immersion,

it's amazing!!!! Highly recommend everyone check it out.

Lastly, the one everyone's absolutely obsessed with,

"Oshi no Ko."

Just the first episode alone runs a full 90 minutes, basically movie-length.

Watching it all in one sitting felt like getting a "previously on" recap for an entire show.

It was genuinely such a satisfying watch.

Whether it's the animation, the music, every character's design, or the story itself,

I love every part of it, honestly flawless.

Ai is just so unbelievably cute.... I'm obsessed.....

Hehe, if you haven't watched it yet, go watch it now.

Lastly, this week's Kuro,

baby him!

Oh right! This Wednesday there's an official-site members-only karaoke stream!

Don't forget to come watch Kuku!
