LOID X YOR PROGRESS! Sure, it was mainly dealing with Yor's insecurities/jealousy, and reaffirming her position as mother/wife of the Forger Family, but the crazy twists like the Passion Gauge brought the laughs while the heart-to-heart conversation made me emotional... especially since Loid talked about his past, specifically his mother, which shows a significant amount of trust & comfort he feels when with Yor.

Honestly, it did sorta surprise me to learn how much Anya's presence a...

TOTO'S TRIAL! So glad we clarified the circumstances behind Jazz's disqualification, revealing Orbas is actively hunting the Misfit Class students with his bloodline ability, Trauma, and it's been foreshadowed that Iruma might be the next target... so what will he see and how will he react to it? I do wonder if eliminating the high profile competition is the reason behind Orbas hunting them, or if it might be out of jealousy?

Meanwhile, Iruma overcame Toto's knowledge trial, enlightenin...

LEMILLION'S BACK! I swear, it makes me so unbelievably happy that Mirio's returned to the battlefield, to see Eri's resolve & the efforts of her training actually pay off... Sure, it was obvious that he'd return someday, that much had been setup for awhile, but to think he'd make such an epic entrance right now... so like Best Jeanist, who managed to successfully restrain Machia, thanks to the sedatives (finally) kicking in, Miro came in absolute clutch to turn the situation around!

Bocchi the Rock! S1 Episode 9 Reaction

TROPICAL LOVE FOREVER! I might have seen the DBZ reference before I started the series itself, not entirely sure, but the comedy's still peak, it's on point & hitting all the right notes as Kessoku Band enjoys their last day of summer break together at Enoshima... except none can truly keep up with an extrovert's power, so it's a hilarious struggle start to finish!

Seems like the next stage will be the Cultural Festival, so we'll also be accomplishing Bocchi's goal from many years a...

BOCCHI SAVES THE DAY! No words can accurately describe how emotional the concert got me, the production staff outdid themselves, going above & beyond what's required to make an absolutely incredible episode... the fact they recorded an offbeat, mistake-ridden version of Kessoku Band's first song deserves serious praise, cause it portrays their nervousness, their lack of composure, so very well. 

Moreover, this only makes both Bocchi's solo & the debut of their second song a...

FRIEND-A-VERSARY! Our favorite introvert's invited friends over & only hilarity ensues, such as the family's amazement over their actual existence, designing Kessoku Band's T-Shirts, making Bocchi wear actual cute outfits, and even her death... Unfortunately, the curse of Bocchi also stole the lives of Nijika & Kita, so now it's a one-woman performance at upcoming concert!

Honestly, I do appreciate seeing them all grow closer, especially since it's making Bocchi experience all ...

LENA'S HYPOCRISY! I'll admit, it didn't even cross my mind to learn the real names for most of Spearhead's members, I figured I'd call them by their nicknames since those are easier to remember/pronounce... so I can't blame Lena for not crossing that bridge, if it slipped her mind, or if perhaps she was building up towards that development, but those words still ring true, even when its their means of lashing out to cope with their grief over losing a comrade.

I should've figured we'd ...

WHAT IS HAPPENING?! So, I can see why I've been repeatedly told to make time to watch this final arc in one sitting... cause so much went down, the reveal of Kadingir's true form & purpose, the true identity of Fine/Ryoko, the fight between GOAT Genjuro & Fine... plus Chris used her Superb Song, which was absurdly cool in terms of firepower and visual effects, all to "beam struggle" and prevent the worst possible outcome. Hibiki might snap & go full berserker with these developmen...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Still gets me that the Boss of Penguin Logistics is a sentient penguin with an actual rap career & extremely good VA choice... but Uncle Penguin deserves respect, he delivered the questionable package, saved an adorable refugee orphan, and even managed to kick serious mafia butt!

Nearl's entrance & attack, presumably her ultimate from the game itself, were so damn cool... always do love it when characters come back around in series, especially when I've managed ...

HOT & HEAVY COSPLAY! 😳 Sure, this might not have progressed the main storyline, but it does appease our thirst for more Nasa & Tsukasa romantic shenanigans, as it's time to cosplay & appeal to her husband's newfound desires!

Might I say, it's also ironically hilarious that this dropped during the season where the remake of Urusei Yatsura is airing, and even references it with Lum's outfit as an option.

What did you think of this OVA? Should I react to S2 when it ai...

WALK YOUR OWN PATH! I should've seen it coming that Misha would assume the mantle of Skullshatter, that she'd use it to confront Amiya about her actions, but damn it, that shit still hurts cause I never wanted it to come to this...

Not sure when S2 will happen, but even just knowing it's coming already makes me feel incredibly excited, cause this series was an absolute wild ride start-to-finish as someone with little-to-no experience with the mobile game... I do wonder where'll go next...

Uncle from Another World S1 Episode 11 Reaction

BEST EPISODE YET! Elf's newfound ranged weaponry, all thanks to the scabbard, was undeniably hype, cause it looks like a railgun... and plus, the glasses & ponytail look does check all the boxes. Uncle, once he regained the ability to use spirit magic, also popped off with that water hydra! I swear, the visual effects for magic & action scenes are an easy highlight of the entire series, cause the production staff truly knows what their doing.

Honestly, while I do still favor El...

LIFE WITHOUT LUM! Sure, Parents Day was peak hilarity, introducing Lum's Mother & Mendo's Mother, with the "lost in translation" & "let me finish my lines" gags... but c'mon, we all know the second half was the highlight, cause that was incredible. David Productions nailed it, the cinematography of their reunion with the fall leaves, the art/animation, and even the music was so well done that it got me feeling emotional...

I mean, I feel so unbelievably happy whenever progress...

NO WAY, WHAT?! Out of everyone, I kept thinking it'd be Nagomi whose most likely to die in this cutthroat maid world, especially after she earned the title of Lady Omoe by defying the ecosystem... the death flags were there and here throughout the series, but this outcome? It caught me so off guard, I can't praise how well it portrayed the suddenness of a horrific event like that, cause that was heartbreaking yet incredible to watch.

I bet it was Nagi who orchestrated it, so it's very ...

MAMANDA! Studio C2C held nothing back when it came to the feels, it got me so emotional seeing Fran compromise & call Amanda by that nickname, then the full realization hits as that's what her mother called Amanda long ago... it all came full circle and I cried (twice, cause that ED music got me again). I didn't expect her parents to come into play like this... but damn, it makes sense and I adore the writing direction we took, it endeared me to Amanda even more so.

RITSU'S 100%! Suzuki made a valiant effort, even teaming up with his son, but their rematch was nothing like their first fight... it's not like he could regain 30 years worth of stored energy instantly, especially when Mob started copying his energy absorption. So yeah, I can respect his decision to retreat & survive for his family, instead of sacrificing himself to repay his debt, even if it couldn't truly come full circle for Suzuki & Shigeo...

WITCH OF CALAMITY! Honestly, it left me speechless from Shadow's incredible "conversation" (fight) with Aurora, the Witch of Calamity, whose spirit was summoned as an appropriate challenge for his trial... and it also nearly killed me with laughter over the hot springs scenes between Alexia & Cid, it was peak comedy!

I can't wait to see what lies within the Sanctuary, now that it has responded to Shadow's strength and opened the door... which, by the way, the magic circles building...

XIAO'S TRUE IDENTITY! Might I just say, this deserves so much praise, the production staff went above & beyond and it left me speechless... the revelations about Xiao, the truth behind the first Raven Consort, and even what Xing-Xing's role is supposed to be. I mean, seriously, the action scenes were (unexpectedly) CRAZY good!

Sure, the situation's been (presumably) resolved... but for how long until his inevitable return? Or perhaps, using niaobu attacks beyond the body/vessel, he...

DRAMATIC FINISH!

I'd love to see more Aileen & Claude, but the games' stories have been played out, and it ended on such a wholesome note that...

I mean, seriously, the camera angles, the lighting that sets the mood, the VAs performance, how it went from casual massage to the verge of deep intimacy between them (except we ...

DAWN OF FOLD! Seems like it's (already) starting to heat up again, as the introduction of these Earth mercenaries, their relationship with Nika, and the fact they're supposedly "witches" like Suletta makes me incredibly hyped! Aerial might have difficulties fighting off trained (child) soldiers, especially if they're piloting Gundams... I'd like to believe Pharact would join in, but who knows if the Peil House is working with Jeturk & Grassley on this plot to take Delling's life.

BIRTH OF A DEMON! Seems the true culprits behind the destruction of Rein's village were demons, presumably ordered by the Demon King to cull any threats... and with our MC's capabilities, it'd be a logical move, but I could be misreading his genuine horror/fear from witnessing its rebirth. I mean, yes, it did consume Edgar and grant my wish to see him be properly (and painfully) punished for everything he's done, but holy shit, it caught me so off guard... where did Arios even get this cursed...

NIGHTFALL VS YOR! RIP Tennis Ball, unable to withstand the full brunt of Best Mother's absurd strength and ended up basically disintegrating... I'll admit, very surprised that Nightfall's racket managed to withstand that much force for so long, but perhaps it was the weight of her love that empowered it but still ultimately failed when faced with the insurmountable tasking of sending it back!

KEROLI'S STRESS RELIEF!

Lead did rock the dress & song, to be fair, so it looks like "training" as Bachiko's servants did help out after all!

Dabi's true identity was obvious but still shocking regardless, I can appreciate how fluid and high quality his dance/movements were... Studio Bones went above and beyond, but it makes sense, given how pivotal this moment will be, as seeds of doubt have be...

SO PROUD OF BOCCHI! Overcoming your flaws isn't an easy task, but to think, all it took was a push from an "(eccentric) drunk rocker senpai" who forced Bocchi into an impromptu street performance to help reach her ticket quota... and well, as you'd expect, it got me emotional seeing the realization hit Bocchi, the lesson that the audience isn't your "enemy," and her skills do attract people's attention after all.

Our girl made her quota and earned herself some fans, so I can't wait to ...

I don't doubt we'll eventually have superiors who'll want to remove her, either from power or straight up seek her death for defying them, but even then, I believe Lena won't take back her statements, it'll only embolden her.
