Here's what I read, watched and spent my time on during March! Tons of stuff this time, with good variety.
Hey again, last month was quite great! I watched quite a bunch of stuff. Some of my highlights would be me getting a Kobo reader—with stats to be added to my device usage section. Reading Dune, starting the Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End anime, listening to the Callisto sci-fi podcast, and of course watching Dune: Part Two on theaters!
Podcasts
Sir Khan: I’ve been getting back into Warhammer 40K lore and this Spanish podcast is just great, pure narrative and epic moments!
Trash Taste: I listened to some great episodes that were quite fun. The one about conspiracy theories was hilarious.
Relatos de la Noche: Horror stories narrated in Spanish, great voice and no ad reads in the middle make this good enough for me.
CALLISTO: This was a short science fiction psychological horror drama that took me by surprise, I wish it was longer—it only has three episodes—but it was enjoyable and intriguing nonetheless.
Manga
In Progress
Monster: I am very close to the end of this Manga and it just keeps getting more and more convoluted in a wonderful way, everything is coming together and flashbacks are bringing answers, and creating new questions. I hope the ending delivers, because this mystery is one of the best I’ve read.
Komi Can’t Communicate: Just read a few chapters for this, but they were more extras rather than actual plot, I hope more happens next.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: After watching the anime I decided to catch up on the Manga too, and it is still absolutely great!
Dandadan: After the anime trailer came out I decided to catch up on the Manga too, and it is still absolutely great!
Finished
Remina: This was a Junji Ito story, science fiction horror end of the world story about a wandering planet getting closer and closer to Earth, the mass hysteria and the fight for survival, and the absolutely insane last couple of chapters made this a really interesting read.
Anime
Uncle From Another World: This was quite a funny anime that has a bunch of isekai tropes, except that the character is a grown up adult and he just finished his journey and came back to reality. So, his nephew decides to turn him into a YouTuber. It was so funny I finished it in a day.
Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End: I watched the first 5 episodes and I ended up crying a couple of times, this is a beautifully done rendition that improves on the original material quite gracefully, I will keep watching.
Gurren Lagann: I watched a couple more episodes of this one, it is still fun mecha battles and some interesting plotpoints just happened, gotta watch more.
Books
In progress
Dune: I started reading this after Dune Part Two came out, I am at 69% of the story and I am loving it quite a lot, it really is as good as people say.
The Palace of Eternity: I saw another YouTuber recommending this sci-fi space opera and I decided to read it alongside Dune, I was actually impressed by it and I hope I finish it soon.
Finished
The Undefeated: I was looking for something short to read and this came up, it was quite an interesting story that didn’t quite feel like sci-fi in anything but background setting. More of a memoir, but good.
Tender is The Flesh: A dystopia where animal meat cannot be ingested and cannibalism becomes accepted in society. It is more of a character driven story, and all the characters are kind of despicable, discretion is adviced.
Movies
Dune: Part Two: Absolutely fantastical movie, a must watch! I found it much better than the first part. The score, the cinematography, the color and everything was incredible. I liked it a lot.
Kung Fu Panda 4: This was much better than I expected, but not better than the first two. I think it was rather short, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. Po actually learned something instea
Damsel: This was a Netflix movie that was picked at random, Millie Bobby Brown is on everything these days huh, good for her! The story was rather interesting, and darker than I expected. A princess tale turned nightmare.
The Lion King: A true classic we watched as a family early on the month, still a masterpiece.
