The thing I will say is that the uncut is much better. They cut out a lot of important scenes that really add…
I watched the uncut version and it still was just okay to me. I avoid cut version and am patient enough to wait for the uncut ones. Still don't understand why IFYLITA had a cut version. People were always super confused about what was going on. But this still didn't make me be totally hyped about Cooking Crush. I already didn't really like the trailer that much and ep 1 has more or less given me what the trailer had shown. But I'll see. Maybe it'll get better.
Glad to read a review like this, because you're right about a show hitting high reviews based on ship hype. With…
And that's the point! The trailer was already kinda 'meh' whereas the trailer of The Sign and Last Twilight where pretty good. Those shows aren't completely flawless either but were off to a way better start. I actually DO like OffGun but I can't give high ratings just because I like them. If the show is just 'meh' I'll give it the proper rating. It's not falling completely flat but not that good either. As I said, the trailer already gave me 'meh' vibes as well thus I didn't expect much. I think I just like show with a proper story as a base much better. I already have one show that is kinda bs but cute in a way but I think I can't deal with two. I will continue watching CC for now but it MIGHT be the first OffGun show that I will have to drop. But things can change ^^.
The fantasy part was already hinted in the teaser, iirc (there were two + a trailer) so this didn't come out of…
Valid point. The series caught my attention through the first teaser so I was surprised by the fantasy element as well (was shown in the second teaser). But I have the luck to have the memory of a fish. I remember that I liked the teaser but tend to forget details. That's a big w for me :D.
oh god, the opening fight scene looks so staged it's actually finny. The choreography alone is fine, but the execution,…
The fantasy part was already hinted in the teaser, iirc (there were two + a trailer) so this didn't come out of nowhere. And those "dragons" are called Naga. They can also take on the form of a human.
I think the only thing that annoys me in this series is the song. It's been put into situations where it's completely unsuitable! It feels like there are only two song and the "title track" is one of them just in different variations (without lyrics, without music). Wish the soundtrack was a BIT better. The lyrics themselves are a bit...not to my liking as well but yeah. That's the problem I don't want to turn into mine. I shouldn't care too much :/.
Care to share your pov? I, for one, am more curious about Zee's behaviour than angry, but I can't lie that I cannot…
They are a bit similar now that I think about it. Only that Zee seems to be more sad? But they have a similar vibe. Stern face all the time, no smile and always kinda mean xD. I didn't even know that there's a movie in the making. As I said...somehow anime and even manga didn't interest me since late 2020. Maybe it's coming back again ^^.
It's rare for me to like manga adaptations but this is one of them. Very lovely, heartfelt, nice message and...KIND of a happy ending? I liked it a lot ^^!

I think Haikyuu was the reason why I wanted to give this show a try. I LOVED that show and hope that there will be another season. My love for anime has been dormant for about almost 3 years now but when I think about Haikyuu (and also Natsume Yuujinchou) I hope for a new season to air ^^.
I know that there actually ARE people like that in the world. Having a monologue, blaming it all on the other party. I was already annoyed when Sun entered the "flower shop" because the acting was so off and unrealistic. I have to compare it with Middleman's Love because the behaviour is quite unrealistic and over the top in that show as well. But it's giving off those vibes right away. That it goofy and it'll be a fun bogus trip. I thought 7 Days Before Valentine was supposed to be serious. It's not forbidden to bring some jokes into a serious show but....come on! This was just not it. And I wanted to like Atom. Because I already don't like him in Bake Me Please. I will drop this show after only watching half the episode and am glad for Sun's now-ex (I don't even know his name yet) to get rid of Sun. This was very off-putting for me.

This is only speculation and I cannot be for sure because I've never been in a situation as he is. So the parents seem to be divorced (iirc) and decided to break the bond between the siblings. I don't know anything about how this happens in a legal way in Thailand but this usually doesn't happen in my country that you separate siblings. For whatever reason, Zee's mother forced him to do something that he doesn't like. The reason for that doesn't even matter. She pushed either dreams or guilt onto him which is just so toxic that I started hating her without even knowing if I am right. He might have agreed to it to be either a good son or to please his mother. But it also feels like it's connected to "You have to be the best! Don't care about friends or the like. They will only distract you and you are my good boy". I imagined something like this and being hurt already, he decided to follow. He said that it's bad to have a brother like Sprite. Maybe because Sprite is so carefree and easy-going. Probably in his eyes Sprite has everything that Zee wanted to have, which is freedom. And now Sprite is taking the tiny thing that Zee built himself over the years. They are practically taking away his life even though he didn't want to go to the try-outs (or what it was). At least to me it felt as if there was a slight relief to not being able to play for a while. So in the end he is just very hurt, been pushed around or away, has been denied his own dreams and freedom and probably also feels a bit punished right now. I'm really curious if Frame can pull this sibling thing off the way Gun did and I am really curious how and if the relationship between Sprite and Zee develops.
Some people here should really think about their own manners before pointing at others. I can understand where Zee is coming from. Even though his way of keeping his distance is a bad choice, it's understandable to a certain degree. The poop-joke was a bit too much but in general this is quite a lovely show.
I was hesitating to watch the last episode but I'm glad that I finally did. And what made me cry in the end?! Those stupid notes!! I'm quite vulnerable in the aspect of "success" so those notes were really touching. Thank you ㅠㅠ! Of course putting the BTS right afterwards made me burst into laughter again ^^.
I went into the show with the mindset of "this will be some mindless bogus" and I wasn't disappointed. Probably those who know the novel highly anticipated something else. But the teaser already made it quite obvious to me that I won't get what I crave. But if I already know what awaits me and I'm okay with some cute dumb nonesense from time to time, this is alright.
Off to a great start. Beautiful soundtrack, great acting, no weird soundeffects (I always appreciate that) and no product placement (yet) xD. I hope that this time I can enjoy it all the way (compared to a show that just ended previously and only its first two episodes were exceptional; afterwards going down hill QQ).
But this still didn't make me be totally hyped about Cooking Crush. I already didn't really like the trailer that much and ep 1 has more or less given me what the trailer had shown. But I'll see. Maybe it'll get better.
