"Theoretical Dolphin Kick!"
Alcohol Edu courses endorse goal oriented list making, so...
2) Instant Margarita mix is the best thing that ever happened to anyone.
3) The weather forecast was right! As predicted the ship that sails itself has made an appearance with the interactions of Nagisa and the newly introduced Rei, aka the show’s obligatory megane character. This is the ship of an undeniably fluffy nature, fully equipped with a boy who looks everything like a bunny rabbit and his tsundere counter part. (Insert romantic montage of NagisaxRei doing an array of mundane things with flirtatious undertones. Preferably set to Cascada’s Every Time We Touch*) I’m curious as to who gets to play seme and uke in the fandom though. Nagisa is token small, but his mischievous streak and a parallel to female-dom kink psychology might find Rei on his knees.
4) Who wears glasses when they go running? Nobody, ew, it’s called sweat. Someone please articulate something on positive skin care to this fine piece of animated ass; whatever dirt is coming out of your pores as you sweat is going to get your frames slicker than (*censored for use of gay fanfiction ANALogy*). So, unless you are looking to disinfecting your glasses in a vat of solution and scrubbing your face, your dewy anime complexion is going to find itself dewy no more.5) Supremely well animated pole vaulting should be the spinoff/sequel to The Swimming Anime. Imagine all the saucy one liners about hot guys and sticks.
6) I’m sorry, I was wrong (no I’m not). The speedo made an appearance.
This week’s angsty life lesson is brought to us by Rei, who seems to have hit a metaphorical wall of overthought that’s begun to self-sabotage his abilities to do his track team thing with any semblance of passion. Going through life with a high degree of technicality has blurred the line between a hobby and a chore, and as a result he’s come to something like an emotional impasse. And the thing about this is that it’s definitely something that happens to most, if not everyone, at some point in their lives. How do you even deal with that without having a minor identity crisis? Wouldn’t you start to wonder if you want to be the kind of person who works so dispassionately in comparison to Haruka Nanase, someone who is so romanced in his…work…? Wouldn’t you begin to ask yourself if you ever liked the thing you approached with such technicality in the first place? To be honest getting me to actually start an episode of Free! every week is a little bit of a struggle itself because I’ve been so desensitized to fan service thanks to Korean pop music and seven years of anime. I tend to feel totally underwhelmed at the thought of ditching whatever I’m doing to watch/read etc instead. But then I get halfway into the episode and I get to relate or project the human condition on some of the things these boys are going to get through and I decide to stick around, if only to prove to myself that inadequacy is in fact, only a moment in time.
Foot note:
*rightfully the most overused anime ship AMV song ever
** My new self-help book titled “ How to Learn Intrinsic Life Lessons From Soft-Core Gay Porn” will be out later this month!
N.B.: A thousand words of thanks to Ivan for capping! You are fabulous! You deserve rainbows and ice cream and a parade of attractive half naked boys to lead you into every place you go! The world is your oyster! I should be a motivational speaker!
