NO WILL TO SURVIVE... Frederica & Raiden came in clutch, confronting Shin to make him acknowledge the fact he's regressed as an individual, that he's closed himself off from others & barely relies on anyone right now, and even that he doesn't plan to survive & see what the future holds. I adore how the show made it clear how night & day Shin's acting, when it comes to the first suicide mission & right now, and that just stresses how important Lena's existence was to him. H...

WAIT, KIRIYA'S THE MORPHO?! HOLY SHIT! Still can't believe I didn't see this twist coming... but with hindsight, it makes so much sense that the Morpho is Kiriya's main body, it'd be the best possible means of protecting it from the enemy while still utilizing its destructive capabilities. Or how the Legion managed to build ANOTHER Morpho... the design's legitimately incredible & its sheer firepower never ceases to amaze me, so I'd say it definitely deserves that "final boss" vibe right n...

"I'LL DESTORY THE WORLD..." ERNST'S RESOLVE! I'd say, while it might be extreme, that outcome would be justified as a world that requires child soldiers to undergo a suicide mission (for their second time) to save humanity, and it ends with their unfortunate deaths, just means that it shouldn't be allowed to exist. I don't doubt he could accomplish this task, it was portrayed really well that he'd stop at nothing, and I respect the dude for it. Still ecstatic he was an actual decent human bei...

AMERI'S BEST GIRL!! I can't stress this enough, cause while I do very much enjoy Clara & Keroli, neither can compare to the incredible chemistry between Iruma & Ameri, which only grows stronger as the series progresses... and even if it's just my personal opinion/preference, I'll die on this hill cause I've been captivated by her adorable facial expressions and fantastic VA performance (bless you, Hayami)!

I daresay, the peak comedy & wholesome feels were exactly what I need...

FIRE... BOLT! Rabbit Foot certainly lived up to the moniker, still very impressed that Bell managed to make it through the maze, find the other path that connects to the Colosseum, and save Ryu with such a dramatically kickass entrance! I knew it was only a matter of time until the "everyone must make a choice & accept sacrifice" plot point would come into play, but I couldn't truly prepare myself for the genuine anxiety/dread I felt when it actually went down...

Symphogear S2 Live Part 1 (Variety Show) Reaction

SURPRISINGLY FUN! I'll admit it, y'all were right, it was well worth the time/energy spent on making this reaction, cause holy shit, the cast & skits were both pretty damn entertaining. I don't recall feeling bored for a second, even if I was getting more tired as it went on, but that might just speak to the overall quality of this event. Or maybe I'm easily entertained cause I got that Symphogear brainrot! Lmao

Might I also say, praise be unto the VAs for Dr. Ver & Genjuro, cau...

KIRIWO RETURNS! Okay, yeah, so turns out the villains were making moves even during the Harvest Festival... wasn't expecting Ocho to record Iruma's confession, but well, the worst case scenario's here cause Kiriwo found out about it. Honestly, that whole scene gave me so much anxiety & chills, I cannot wait to see what their next move will be, or how this revelation will shape the story going forward!

Still very much impressed with the "teacher's pledge" scene as well, the fact it s...

SO DAMN INTENSE! ...I'd say that's the best possible description for what went down. Nothing could've prepared me for the bone-chilling agonized cries by Bell (praise be unto Matsuoka for his spectacular vocal talent), the suddenness of the whole scene, nor how much relief I felt when we learned about the Unicorn Horn Sword's importance to their situation.

On floors much higher, that reunion scene between Wiene & Haruhime straight up made me an emotional mess, the accompanying OST ...

MISSION COMPLETE! Maple Tree Guild's all ready for the Eighth Event, all members have found worthy (and adorable) familiars to compliment their playstyles, skillsets, and character builds (or we'd hope so, as we don't know what benefits certain tamed monsters offer right now). I'd say, excluding Oboro & Syrup, Haku & Necro might be my favorites if we stay "in guild," otherwise I'm inclined to gush over Ignis, Mii's familiar. Sou, the familiar of Kanade, does have the most potential to...

TRULY BEAUTIFUL! I'd say, with the rank up ceremony & afterparty, the Harvest Festival's concluded... honestly, it's so damn crazy that this arc lasted so long, that it took up majority of Season 3 and was jam packed with so many fantastic moments throughout. I don't believe I can recall a single "bad" episode, obviously I do enjoy several moments over others, I'd be hard pressed to find moments that I'd rather not rewatch. Solid writing, start to finish, for this arc & I daresay it's...

THE XENOS ARRIVE! REPAYING A DEBT! Once I saw those silhouettes, I knew the situation would turn around, cause the Xenos are here to save the day! I do hope we'll see Wiene or Ray next time, but out of everyone, Asterius is whom I'm most curious about their whereabouts... Did he head down to rescue Bell (if he knows about his predicament) or is he still training for their inevitable rematch? I'd say, for now, it's safe to drop my guard when it comes the Hestia Familia, since reinforcements ha...

SPEECHLESS... PEAK ISEKAI! Okay, nothing could've possibly prepared me for what went down, cause holy shit, the entire fight between Iris & Beatrix versus Shadow was simply incredible. Still very much love the storm backdrop, which only made that moment all the more breathtaking... I'll gladly welcome this feeling that this show's cleverly trained me to feel so hyped whenever Shadow's "I Am Atomic" comes up, even when so many innocent, uninvolved lives could be eradicated...

BOFURI S2 Episode 5 Reaction

TRIAL & ERROR! Can we all just appreciate the fact May, Yui, and Kasumi all worked so damn hard to earn their (adorable) familiars? Seriously, it was actually impressive the amount of failures we saw, yet with every further attempt, there was steady progress made... it felt organic, that their victories were earned, not served up on an silver platter for free, just cause they're all Maple Tree Guildmembers, have busted character builds/skillsets, or that Maple herself solved all their pro...

BEATRIX VS SHADOW?! THE CRAZIES COLLIDE! No joke, while I don't want it to end... I need to see what happens next time, cause that cliffhanger straight up nearly killed me, similar to how Rose handled the whole "Oriana's King has been drugged into submission" situation... the hype from that last minute confrontation was unreal!

DEAAAAAATH! Okay, yeah, I'll admit it... definitely glad I decided to watch these, very excited to see what S3's specials will have to offer (when I reach that point) cause I vibe with the art style, comedy, and even emotional heart behind these. I'd call it a pleasant surprise, that's for sure!

On a side note, anyone else feel like the art style pairs really well Shirabe's usual "less than expressive" (kuudere) personality? Makes it feel even more like peak comedy for me!

NEPHILIM'S REVIVAL?! SO MUCH HYPE! Still love the fact we've ended up in space, yet again, to solve a crisis situation... and we're using Superb Songs, X-Drives, hand holding, etc. much like the first season's final arc! I'm sure the parallels were intentional, a pleasant homage, but either way, what a fantastic conclusion, everyone brought their all & a special someone even came in clutch~

Overall, definitely enjoyed what this season brought to the table, from the characters & ...

I do hope, now that the dust & chaos have settled, that significant portions of the corruption & rot from the military have been permanently cleansed... or...

UNBREAKABLE BONDS! Sometimes you'll have to cross fists to make each other understand, but that doesn't diminish the bond you share... and it can result in fantastic fight scenes with crazy twists & turns, like Superb Songs, naked fighting, and phenomenal accompanying soundtracks!

Still love watching Gungnir acknowledge who its rightful wielder is... the subsequent transformation scene, while we've definitely seen it before, gave me so much hype, it was unreal! Only Ame-no-Habakiri ...

I was left speechless, I couldn't comprehend what happened for a few seconds because it was so sudden.

SWITCHING SIDES?! Still can't believe I didn't realize exactly what it meant for Miku & Hibiki to be swallowed up by Shenshou Jing's amplified energy beam... it flew over my head for awhile, so I'll admit defeat & that it was a very clever method of resolving a major ongoing plot point. Moreover, it even created an interesting plot point opportunity involving Maria, if we got that route!

Out of everything we've seen for this series, I'd daresay that Miku's transformation (the Bl...

Quick Questions

Hey, guys, I need some input when it comes to editing reactions (for Patreon**).

1) I tend to pause so I can process what happened or articulate my thoughts before I miss the chance, so do y'all prefer whether the footage stays on screen or gets cutout during these pauses (unless necessary, like if I'm reading extra text off the scene or drawing attention to a particular element from it)? Normally, I cut it out so only my camera footage is on screen until I unpause, when I want to empha...

A RELIC SLAYER?! THE POWER OF LOVE! ...when it comes to Symphogear, not to mention Miku, it's strong enough to obliterate several American warships if you unleash it apparently! I should've guessed they'd use the Shenshou Jing relic for a transformation, it's obvious foreshadowing in hindsight, as it's been more common to wield them as Symphogear forms rather than solely for other purposes. I daresay, for me, Miku's Valkyrie design might be the winner, the top dog... followed by a tie between...

CRAZIEST TWIST YET!

SHOULD I WATCH THIS? I'll manage my expectations, which are based solely from this promotional video, as it could be pre-animated and not indicative of the final product... but Mushoku Tensei was still incredibly breathtaking & it experienced a similar situation.

When's Content Coming?

Hey guys, just wanted to make a quick update to inform y'all about what's been happening lately (since I know not everyone's keeping tabs on the Discord).

Over the weekend, I lost a family dog that's been around, in my life, for about 13 or so years. She was 16 years old when she died, it hit me rough, and with how I've been struggling with my (presumed) iron-deficiency anemia, it sorta compounded and made it a struggle to get content going for both Youtube & Patreon.

I do hope it's sooner than later, cause the breadcrumbs they're feeding us ain't enough... was it more from the fact he's the "least devilish devil" out there or was Delkira fully aware of Iruma?
