March/April Watch List

Here I am with a more upbeat talk today, about the shows I watched in March and April. I just for a Roku 3, so hopefully I'll be watching some more anime! I haven't watched as much as I used to because I'm not always in the mood for subtitles. I much prefer dubs, as usually I'm working on something while I watch TV. 

Without further ado, the shows I watched the most these last 2 months. 

The Walking Dead

That finale UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Teen Mom 2

Okay, so I admit for the longest time I HATED Teen Mom 2. Mainly because I can't stand Jenelle and Leah annoys me. While craving more of the Teen Mom drama I started watching Teen Mom 2 and I got sucked in. I really continued to watch for Kailyn and Chelsea, but now I'm also curious about Leah's downfall. 

Game of Thrones

Since GOT returned Sunday, I spent a week marathoning seasons 4 and 5 in preparation for the latest season. I didn't start from season 1 because truthfully I've seen the first 3 seasons too many times. I'm also thinking of giving the books another chance via audio book. 

Penny Dreadful

Alright, so this one barely made the list. I've started to rewatch it this week in preparation of season 3. 

Sailor Moon Crystal

Season 3 is here!!!! I'm terribly behind and have just seen the first episode of the new season - writing and cosplay making has consumed so much of my time! I'm not sure how I feel about the opening replacing Moon Pride, but I LOVE Sailor Moon's new transformation sequence!

Orphan Black

I just started watching this show after seeing trailers for a few years on BBC America - it had piqued my interest but I never got around to watching it. I am really enjoying bit so far, I'm only on season 1 but I'm very curious about the clones. 

@Midnight 

I recently discovered that Hulu gets all of the @Midnight episodes so I've been watching it the day after. It is such a funny show! For those that don't know, it is a game show on Comedy Central revolving around trending topics and events on social media. The contestants are comedians and it is hosted by Chris Hardwick. 

Star Vs The Forces of Evil 

I started watching this after catching a snippet of it after a Gravity Falls episode. I thought it looked cool so I checked it out...I ended up loving it. This is a show for Gravity Falls and Steven Universe fans! Based on quite a few magical girl anime such as Sailor Moon, Revolutionary Girl Utena and Cardcaptor Sakura it is a fun watch.

It's about a princess from another dimension called Mewnie named Star Butterfly,  she is pretty much a magical girl with a weapon resembling something from Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura. She is given the family wand upon her birthday and is sent to earth to learn to use it responsibly. The shows chronicalizes her misadventures on earth and fighting monsters/her enemies, many enemies and problems creates by her irresponsibility with magic. 

I love Star's quirky personality and I find much that she does funny. Her world is fascinating. Plus her ex boyfriend is a demon who's pretty cute...I'm curious about him!

Gravity Falls

Gravity Falls has ended and the finale tore me up with the feels. I've been watching Weirdmageddon again as well as going back and watching season 1.

I don't remember if I talked about Gravity Falls yet. It is a wonderful hidden gem of a show. It's about two twins named Dipper and Mabel Pines, their parents send them to stay in Gravity Falls, Oregon for the summer with their Great Uncle aka Gruncle Stan. Stan Pines runs and owns The Mystery Shack, an oddities parlour, roadside attraction. Dipper and Mabel begin to encounter strange things in Gravity Falls and Dipper sets out to learn the secrets of the mysterious town. 

YouTube

Okay, this doesn't really county but I have watched a lot if YouTube videos the last 2 months. From my renewed interest in Shane Dawson to Grav3yardgirl and Game of Thrones theory videos.

There you have it! What shows have you been watching lately? Comment and let me know.

January & February Watch List

Hiiiiii everyone!!! I meant to have more posts up the last two months than I actually posted, I have a bunch of drafts saved too....just most of my focus as of late has been trying to work on my goals for the year (because I refuse to say resolutions. I never keep resolutions.) My two top ones being to be healthier - to work out a lot, eat better and to actually attend checkups with my doctor . The other being  to take better care of my skin. Both goals have been going great so far, I've been kicking ass in the workout department (lost like 10 pounds last month, yaaaaay!!) and I started another medication in attempt to better control my asthma. I have been given a bunch of skincare products to try out in exchange for website reviews  that I've been using every day so that has been going well too. My skin hasn't been this nice since high school! I've just been trying to make more of an attempt at making myself happy and improving myself. In 2015, I basically broke and I had to slowly put the pieces back together. Now, I feel like a newer evolved self.  I want 2016 to be my year, I refuse to be miserable for a fourth year in a row. And I refuse to allow people to treat me like and make me feel like I'm garbage. What have your goals for the year been? Anyone make progress? Comment and let me know!

My life has also gotten a lot crazier, I now have a boyfriend! ^____^. We met via a mutual close friend on Facebook. Our first date was the day after Valentines day; we met downtown and went for pizza and to some of the local shops. We have a really cool and quirky toy store with toys for just about everyone. They have an adult section with things such as "grow a girlfriend", adult books, spell candles and incense. They have Pop figures, kooky kitchen gadgets, Doctor Who collectibles and a lot of other things. We were looking through the adult coloring books when we came across one called Secret Japan. I freaked out....why? It had one page dedicated to Sailor Moon. Knowing how much I love Sailor Moon he bought it for me for that one page. I will never forget that 💜. It was a great date which lead to the beginnings of our relationship. He's as total sweetheart and he's really funny. Some people say he's a male version of me. I'm just very happy ^__^

So yeah, that has been my life. Now onto the point!

Today I'll be introducing a new monthly series here called the watch list. Hopefully I can keep up with it better than recent animes! The concept is simple - each month I will discuss some shows that I binge watched or watched weekly during the month. I had to combine last month with this month because I forgot to post this last month.

Durarara x2

I rung in the new year by watching pretty much the entire season of Durarara x2 ten (why must they make this title so confusing? -_-). If you're a fan of the Drr! Series this is a must to watch. It's pretty interesting how things in Ikebukero escalate from the end of season one. I won't say much else to avoid spoilers, but you just have to watch it.

Parasyte

I still have yet to finish this show, but I binge watched about 15 episodes of this in January. For those that don't watch Toonami or even know what this is about, it's about a teenage boy that becomes infected by a parasyte with an intelligent mind of its own. It is a really fucked up show.

Empire

My mom got me into this show after watching it herself. I spent a long day at the mall and she was watching it when I got home; too worn out to complain I watched a few episodes with her and really got into it. This show is about the famous Luscious Lyon, CEO and founder of Lyon dynasty a record label. He finds out that he has ALS and must name a successor from his three sons to his empire and fortune. His ex wife, Cookie who went to prison in her husband's place returns after her sentence was ended. She finds that the record label she started with him had grown and that Luscious has a girlfriend. Cookie will stop at nothing until she gets her half of the company back. It is a really good show, it is a drama for those of you not into dramas. I typically am not a fan of rap or hip hop, I really dig so!e of the music in this show though! The girl group that  Cookie puts together has a song called "Do it" that I adore and omg don't even get me started on Jamal's voice! It is heavenly!

South park

I got Hulu Plus at the end of December. When I want to relax and watch something that doesn't require much concentration I will watch cartoons. I grew up on South Park and watched it with my dad a lot. Hulu has all of the seasons, so holy nostalgia I had to watch some old episodes that Comedy Central doesn't air anymore.

New Girl

On a whim I checked this out on Netflix and ended up loving it. Zoey Deschanel's character, Jess is my spirit animal. She's really adorable, quirky and funny. This show is about school teacher Jessica Day, she had a bad breakup after catching her boyfriend cheating on her. She lived with him, so she needed a new place to live. She answers an ad on Craig's list from a group of guys looking for a roommate. Jess makes the cut and moves in, the show is all about their dysfunction living together.

I hope you all had a great start to your year. What shows did you start watching in January? Comment and let me know!

X Files

Although I didn't see every episode of the original X Files, I am a fan of it so of course I had to see this newest season. It was really good! My favorite episode was with the wolf man. The ending of the season was total bullshit though, they had better make more episodes!!!

Hey Arnold

I watch a lot of cartoons.....I found Hey Arnold on Hulu Plus and ended up marathoning it. I love 90s Nicktoons

Adventure Time

Hulu Plus has EVERY episode, except for the latest season. I hadn't seen the older episodes in a long time so I've been watching a lot of Adventure Time.

Pretty Little Liars

I'm a long time viewer who has kept up with the show since I was 16/17. After the shocker of the last season (or is it the first half of the season?) I highly anticipated the recent episodes. The show jumped 5 Years from where we left off. I have to say, I'm not disappointed it has been really interesting.

Teen Mom OG

YES I watch this!! I love the original Teen Mom, it's one of the few reality shows that I will watch. I hate Teen Mom 2 though. I always have a lot of fun watching this show. I was so happy because my favorite on the show, Catelynn finally got married to her long time fiance.

There you have it, the shows I've been watching. I'm also watching The Walking Dead, Mob Wives (RIP Big Ang), and of course Bob's Burgers. What shows have you been watching? Comment and let me know!
