Regroup: Betrayal of THE highest order, I feel so BETRAYEEED

July, 30th 2024

Dear diary,

Things have been going smoothly for the most part. Lily finally came to her senses after I apologized for a week. She is a nice girl, I swear. Anyway, being back at work was refreshing, to say the least.. I have been getting missed calls from my patients who missed me for some reason. I, on the other hand, was enjoying the quietness. Diane and Todd came for their joint session today.

they went to a Christian workshop last week, it was good apparently. Everything is totally different, NOT. Todd is still gay and not the happy kind. Diane told me a story of how they fixed their relationship, so Todd was getting 'fat' from Diane's cooking and it was causing ALL the problems. Now, Todd gets to go eat out and come back with a full belly and a huge smile on his face. Okay?

I have to hand it to her, she clearly is in love with Todd. Todd also seems to have feelings for her but I don't think it's romantic. At this point, I think it would be better to just focus on Diane since she is the one with the problem. We'll see how it goes in the next session.

"Max I have a huge surprise for you."

Stephen came into my office as Diane and Todd left, a huge smile plastered on his face. He said he had a client he wanted to introduce me to. I think he was trying to cheer me up because yesterday my favorite anime ended, AND THEY BUTCHERED THE ENDINNNGGG. Like What the F... I have to calm down. 

Alright, let's talk about The Teenage Vampire and the Humanoid Robot or as i now call it, The Dumpster That was My Joy. 

Quick recap for you, dear diary: this anime was a masterpiece—emphasis on was. It had everything: epic battles, deep character arcs, existential themes about love and humanity. And then they just… decided to stop trying.

The final season started strong. Teenage Vampire (Vlad) had just discovered he could unlock his Blood Moon Form if he accepted his inner humanity. Meanwhile, Humanoid Robot (HR for short) was grappling with their own programming dilemma: kill Vlad or defy their creators and save him. The stakes were sky-high, the tension unbearable. I was ready.

And then… THEN... it all went off the rails.

Out of nowhere, they threw in a beach scene. No explanation. Just Vlad, HR, and the rest of the cast suddenly in swimsuits, playing volleyball. IN THE FINAL EPISODE. I get it—anime loves its fan service episodes—but who puts filler in the finale? Were they contractually obligated to show HR in a bikini one last time? This wasn't the first time by the way.

Remember the Big Bad, Lord Nightshade? You know, the one who spent 24 episodes monologuing about destroying humanity? Yeah, he suddenly decides he wants to open a bakery. No battle, no consequences. He just walks off mid-fight like, “You know what? Cupcakes sound better than genocide.”

Oh, but the cherry on this disaster sundae: TIME TRAVEL. Turns out Vlad was actually HR’s creator from 1,000 years in the future. How? Why? Huh? Don’t ask. They didn’t explain. Just threw in some shaky visuals and called it a day.

After all that build-up, Vlad doesn’t even use his Blood Moon Form. Instead, he hugs HR. Yep. HUGS. And somehow, that destroys the entire evil organization because of the “power of friendship.” They are in a relationship, it doesn't even work here. What does that even mean?! Was the evil organization powered by negative vibes?

And as if that wasn’t bad enough, the series ends with a random character—who was never important before—holding a glowing orb and saying, “It’s only the beginning.” WHAT THE HYUK?!

I can’t even think about it without getting mad. I wasted 1925 episodes on this nonsense. And the worst part? THEY HAD THE AUDACITY TO PUT “TO BE CONTINUED IN Years of blood and Rot: A Teenage Vampire and The Humanoid Robot Distant Future” AT THE END. I am NOT watching the Sequel series of this SHIIT. I say that now, but you and I both know I’ll hate-watch it out of spite.

Stephen didn’t understand why I was upset.
Stephen: “It’s just a show.”
Me: “IT WAS ART, PERFECT UNTIL THEY SET IT ON FIRE.”

Anyway, so the ending was so shit it makes Ex Arms look like a masterpiece. Well, maybe not Ex Arms, Promised Neverland season 2 is the best comparison. What were they thinking?

I went to his office to meet his 'suprise client' and i was shocked, It's HIM.
