Black Clover #1: Crunchyroll, etc.

A couple of weeks ago I was wandering around C2E2, having the best time of my life, and I wanted to recapture the youthful exuberance and hopefulness I once felt, I wanted to be excited about something. So I bought a wall scroll for a Manga called “Black Clover” because it had a big cast and I wanted to feel like I belonged to some entertainment again. I decided I would try to watch the entire show and blog about it as I went along, to see if I could develop some “content”, some layer of persona to my daily routine that would be good to share with the human race. I wound up subscribing to Crunchyroll just to watch it and I am blissfully happy to have access to all this amazing entertainment, another nail in the coffin for that cesspool, Hollywood. I don’t have anything to say about any of this, and my blog will probably be unreadable for weeks, but maybe if I keep cranking out the entries I’ll develop some kind of emotional spark I’d like to share with the human race.

The other thing that happened was that I got a mild virus that lasted for five days and I’ve been semi-delirious and unable to concentrate, but I feel fantastic, like I’ve been having out-of-body experiences and all my troubles in life are solved. Also, I watched the Paul Verhoeven movie “Benedetta” last week and I was glad that someone is still out there making movies that are relevant to my life. I remember at the beginning of the year I’d been watching “Nymphomaniac” with Charlotte Gainsbourg, hoping that I would have a deep experience, but even though it was a good movie and it probably did change the way I see sex in film, I’m not sure I got much out of it philosophically.

But that in itself is important, isn’t it? Sexually explicit films change the way we see sex in society, just like the ecchi Animes on Crunchyroll do.

Okay, at that point I changed over and started thinking about inner experiences of light and higher dimensions, and I don’t know what I’m supposed to say about that, but the point is I’m just going to blog no matter what until I’ve seen every episode of Black Clover, and we’ll see if this entertainment journey transformed me or not.
