r/TwstAnime

I've been a fan of Twisted Wonderland even before the English version of the game came out. I was so excited to finally watch the anime when it came out. The anime came out while I was in boarding high school, and since Disney+ won't work on my laptop, I had to use the dorm TV to watch it.

Now let me tell you about Scarlet (not her real name). Scarlet was a 13-year-old girl who loves to talk and ask questions. She was a huge fan of KPDH. Like, such a big fan, she watched it once every day. When I finally found time one Saturday to sit down and watch the anime, I was starting up the first episode when Scarlet came into the community space and asked if she could have the remote to watch KPDH.

Now, around this time, I was admittedly a pushover. So I tried to make a deal with her that she could have the TV when I was done, but Scarlet kept saying that she had to make it to lunch in time and that I could watch this show later. It took one of my friends coming out and telling Scarlet that she uses the TV all the time and that she needed to let others have a turn for her to finally agree to my deal, but on the agreement that she'd watch the anime with me so that she could get right into the movie after

I started up the show again, and Scarlet started asking me about the anime. I had to keep pausing the show to explain to her what was happening because she didn't just want to watch the show to see what would happen. When she realized a "hot boy Ursala" (azul) was in the show. She immediately fell in love with the show, and the next day she asked if we could watch the next episode.

I told Scarlet that new episodes come out every Wednesday, to which she started pulling me out of whatever I was doing to make me watch the anime with her so she could have someone to watch it with. Having to watch the anime with someone I didn't really like, pausing every few minutes to answer her questions, and her squeeling when ever azul came on screen drove me to lose interest in watching the show because I liked the show.

We got three episodes in before she got kicked out of school for stealing food. Now that she's gone, I can watch it of my own accord, but after what Scarlet did, I just can't bring myself to sit down and watch the anime. Season 2 is almost here; I want to see my favorite TWST character animated, but how can I get back into a show that's been ruined for me?

TLDR: I need to figure out a way to watch the anime again, since a girl made it feel more like a chore than something to enjoy.
