Strong like Zoro..

I wasn’t going to watch the live version of One Piece on Netflix, but I did when I noticed “Zoro” and the word new episode. I rewatched the show from episode 1 and was sad when the story was cut off. 

That was a really short season. I may have to wait until they are done with at least two more seasons before I start watching again.

I noticed a few things between the live version  of Zoro (cute) and the anime version (that voice). I guess I will always be a Roronoa Zoro girl. 

I have a Zoro pin. I started wearing it when I had to work (under my uniform of course). Zoro goes into a fight believing he will win. He won’t back down, unless Luffy (if you didn’t know  who Monkey D. Luffy is – He is the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates and Zoro was the first member of this amazing crew and that makes him the Second-in-Command. I don’t know if that was ever said, but he is usually the one who takes charge if Luffy isn’t around) says to do otherwise.

Although I would love to tell everyone who is rude to me  exactly what I think of them, that’s a hard “No”. I need this job. I am stronger than what they see. If only they knew?

A New Look at Fruits Basket

Photo by Leeloo The First on Pexels.com

I gave up looking for a new anime to watch and started rewatching some of my favorites. I watched “Fruits Basket” , a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Natsuki Takaya. It is also a shƍjo manga magazine.  I started watching this series with different eyes and saw each character  in a new light.

Tohru Honda is trying to live her life the best she can, but she is holding onto a promise to her late mother that no mother wants to be kept. She thought that she should only love her mother and live her life through her mother’s words. A parent only wants the best for their child and as a child they should remember their parents with all their love and kindness they shared together.  

Tohru Honda  is a kind and caring person and people will always turn to that light. She had to be true to herself in order to really be loved in the end.

Kyo Sohma was never shown any love as a child and grew up with so much hatred.  There were a few who treated him like a person, but he still felt like an outsider. He was kept outside of the family he always wanted, but it was Tohru Honda who actually taught him what love was.

The whole Sohma family all wanted love and to be loved, but going about it in a different way. They shared an invisible bond that should have never been made. The head of the family  Akito Sohma wasn’t given a choice to be herself, so she took her frustration out on others, especially the girls. She was beyond jealous, because she was forced to live her life as a boy. 

This family has secrets not just with outsiders, but from each other. Each member fought to be themselves and to be free of their family bond. The adults just accepted it, but Izuka and Tohra wanted that bond to be broken. They knew in order for everyone to be truly loved they would have to be free.

Yuki Sohma was seen as the luckiest person in the family, because Akito paid attention to him the most. They didn’t know how much he was being put down with so many negative words that it would have broken anyone’s spirit.

I believe everyone was looking at the world through  Tohru Honda’s eyes. She was kind and thought everyone should feel the same.  We all laugh, cry, feel pain, but most of all. We all want to be free to love and be loved.

This is my take on Fruits Basket

Me & Luffy

Photo by monicore on Pexels.com

I am revisiting “One Piece,” from the beginning. Well, I am going to bypass the storyline I don’t like. I didn’t realize how much Luffy and Zora fought. They fought all the time. It’s hard to believe they are really good friends.

The more I think about Luffy. The more I am encouraged to become the person I know I can be. He knew what he wanted to be and didn’t let anyone stop him from becoming a pirate. He may be a pirate, but he is still one of the good guys.

{}  Monkey D. Luffy – Wikipedia From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia in this article, the surname is Monkey. Monkey D. Luffy One Piece character.

Monkey D. Luffy (/ˈluːfi/ LOO-fee) (Japanese: ăƒąăƒłă‚­ăƒŒăƒ»Dăƒ»ăƒ«ăƒ•ă‚Ł, Hepburn: MonkÄ« DÄ« Rufi, [ÉŸÉŻÉžiː]), also known as “Straw HatLuffy[n 2], is a fictional character and the protagonist in the Japanese manga series One Piece created by Eiichiro Oda. Luffy made his debut as a young boy who acquires the properties of rubber after accidentally eating one of the Devil Fruits that belonged to “Red Hair” Shanks.

Monkey D. Luffy is the future king of the pirates an is wearing a red jacket with a straw hat, blue jean shorts, a yellow sash, and sandals.{} 

The best thing about watching something I have already watched is, I can work on a crochet project, or organize my words for my next book.

Time to eat, because I have been wanting a cup of tea all day. I was trying to think about what Luffy ‘s favorite food was and realized he loves meat. Oh well, I am going to be eating teriyaki pasta with kale greens.

I was looking through youtube to find a recipe I could post, but I didn’t find any. My pasta isn’t fancy
 FoOd is FoOd


Cook your favorite spaghetti. (Don’t throw the water out)

Season the greens with your favorite seasoning. 

I used : onion, garlic, and chili powder. Trader Joe’s 21 seasoning & a little chili lime seasoning. I also added a little cayenne pepper.

I cook the greens almost all the way through, but if you don’t like a little bite you can cook it a little longer in the pasta water.

Once u get the greens to your liking add the cooked pasta and the teriyaki sauce. I use this one, because it has less salt in it.

Back to Naruto…

I have seen Naruto at least three times and I am once again watching it from the beginning. There was a time, when I was bored I would just watch one of my favorite Naruto movies, and call it a day. I can always watch this anime and never get bored with it.

                     ABOUT  OVERVIEW T

Roku may have countless tv shows, game shows, and movies. I am finding them all a bore at times. Then the shows I would like to watch, you have to pay, and that is a bog No-No.

I just learned a new crochet pattern. (I will be talking about that real soon) I am keeping my word by writing (typing and posting) something every day. I am not ready to actually get out of bed and turn the lights on



The best part of rewatching a show you know by heart (or almost by heart) is you can focus on something else and still hear some sound in the background. title    Seeing Naruto furiously fight back against the Grass Ninja, Sasuke realizes that he was wrong to

Heads up here is an answer from Google as to a brief info about, “Bleach,” just in case it’s new

  • I couldn’t wait until Bleach returns. I thought I would watch it again from the start, but I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I remembered each episode and could watch it again. 
  • I started at Season 10 and as I worked on my burgundy project (hoping to finish it today, which didn’t happen) and enjoy a day of rest.  
  • Bleach isn’t an anime a young person should watch or one who doesn’t want to watch a fighting anime.       
  • Bleach comes in my top ten anime that I like a lot. One day I will make a list of all the anime I like the most
