The new season of The Devil's Plan is on Netflix, and we're going through the episodes slowly because (1) we focus on one subtitled show at a time, and (2) each episode is well over an hour at least. We enjoyed the first season a lot, and this second season is proving to be quite exciting as well. So that's cool stuff. And they really know how to edit things such that each episode makes for quite the cliffhanger. It's perfect binge-watching material when you get down to it.
We blitzed through the latest season of Love, Sex, & Robots, and it was a better season than the last one, maybe, but still nothing exceptional. They're still not consistent about all the stories involving Love, Sex and Robots as plot elements but whatever. It's certainly a good showcase of animation talent.
We've also got caught up on the latest season of The Last of Us, and as someone who hasn't played the games, the direction of this season really threw me for a loop. But at the same time, I super respect that a lot of the material comes from the game itself. It really speaks to the quality of the writing that has made the franchise go for as long as it has, and what triggered this whole television adaptation to begin with.
I do need some sort of content to watch over lunch, though. In recent times, we've explored different anime with 30-minute episodes, hence fun romps like Sakamoto Days. Apart from K-foodie Meets J-foodie (not an anime), I'm drawing a blank unless we go for one of these shows with ridiculously long titles.
In the meantime, I've gotten us started on the Korean queer series Love in the Big City, which is starting out to feel something like a Korean Queer as Folk...or it just speaks to common threads across a lot of gay stories around the world. Did the US really take the lead in defining gay culture in terms of clubs and such or is that just a natural progression that has happened on its own? That might be something interesting to look into further.
