First thing first, I totally missed this song in the set because I got distracted by the dying battery. While I’m not as on point as I was last week, here’s the current state of Lovesong:
At the end of every great arc in anime there’s a come-down period. When the show is really great and it ends, some may experience post-anime depression where all that time engaged in an amazing adventure is suddenly replaced with… nothing.
Having made it through my initial experiment, I find myself in an uncertain position. I didn’t prepare the next step ahead. Do I wander around in a filler arc for a bit? Do I pick an arbitrary direction to start working toward? I’m not sure. One thing I am sure of is that I don’t want to do the same kind of sprint I just did again. I am exhausted. Taking a little time off for a break seems like a pretty valid choice too.
In fact, that’s what I did this week. Though its been on my mind, I haven’t been actively worrying about it too much. Naturally this leaves me with a lack of a solution when its time to update the blog again, but whatever. This is about my journey, so I’ll be real about it.
Instead of deciding what my next musical goal will be, I re-watched a season of Arifureta and dove into season 3 that just wrapped up. What an amazingly trash isekai. Op protag? Check. Horny harem? You bet. Self-aware chunni? Oh yeah. A great recipe to turn the brain off and not sweat the details of real life. Actually, I’m thinking of transcribing the ending theme for S2 because that song is actually pretty nice.
Here’s to a little vacation back in isekai land~
