*PRACTICED HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
NOTE: The mic did not pick up this episode, so it's just my camera audio, so I apologize in advance for this week! At least you CAN hear me!
This story kicks into gear as we start the practice routines and regimens to build up to the Hakone Ekiden! Unlike the anime, there's more focus with Kakeru, more COOPERATION with Kakeru and Haiji, and more insight into our crew! I'm LOVING THIS!
Thank you...

*LIFE-SAVING HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
I am GAGGED, GOOPED, GATHERED -- all of the "G" words to describe how GOOD this episode was -- just, can we talk about it?! The mystery unraveling, MaoMao's boldness, the final scene?! I was fangirling all over the place, as the length of this discussion will maybe hint at! I hope you enjoy!

*PROTECTIVE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Madara is injured from the encounter with Matoba and Natsume is left to his own devices -- which leads to Culture Festival Shenanigans to unfold at his school!
This episode, focusing on Natsume trying to balance his friendships with his knowledge of Yokai -- it was heartwarming as always but with an extra twinge of angsty foreshadowing! Also, Madara being cuddly is the BEST!

These first two sets of chapters for RWTW are already a different vibe, tone, and much more intimate in its....relationship dynamics with Haiji and Kakeru, and the other 8 runners of the Chikusei-sou as THIS chapter, Haiji lays out his idea for running the Hakone Ekiden, but the way the team is persuaded is a BIT different than how the anime went down!

It's been a while since we've seen our sweet little fox yokai, and look how much he's grown! I love seeing the growth of this little yokai alongside our dude, Natsume!
This episode does a great job with examining the concept of time, what it means to be on different "timelines," and how the relationships with others are still worth it, despite all that!

Hey all!
So, for the last three years, I've done an annual "Husbando and Waifu" Bracket Contest in March.

Obviously, the categories of the following will be included:
Best Husbando
Best Waifu
Best Couple
Best Series (from this year on the channel)
But what other categories would you all like to see?
