*FINAL BOSS HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Please Watch the Discussion to the Very End! ^^
Okay, okay, so I was MOST DEFINITELY feeling some type of way this week with the chapter set! On the one hand, we get to the "final boss" battle, full of revelations and some questions FINALLY getting answers! Man, two steps forward and one step back, right?
I have some issues with our poor SQQ being put at fault for all of LBH's issues, but I know Xin Mo is involved and we still have tw...

*IMPATIENT HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Nanami brushes off the threat of the Black Rose Boys...until the threat comes to her front door -- err, projection room!
I really feel for Mitsuru, but sweetheart, you don't need to grow up fast! Savor your youth! Well, we see how that's preyed upon in this episode!

**CAUGHT UP AND AT THE LOWEST POINT HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
I cannot believe after nearly a year...I'm caught up volume-wise to Berserk! I still have other videos I want to make concerning Berserk and those will hopefully be out next year along with Volume 43, but for now?
*SCREAMS INTO THE VOID* THIS VOLUME -- WELL. WELL. So there's that.
Let's take some shots as we get through this madness, shall we?
Thank you SO MUCH for watching with me and for all the support!<...

*IDENTITY-QUESTIONING HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
This episode was hard to find a thumbnail for, because there were SO many good moments to choose from! Nanami and Yuu are starting to get more attached to one another, which brings about anxieties about how they're portrayed to one another, etc. -- you know, things ACTUAL partners worry about!
This series handles the discussion of relationships in such a complex and layered way - Let's talk about it!

*SMALL SUN HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Could this show get any better? Could it tie things together with such a beautiful, heartfelt message and make you not only feel good but ask questions of yourself and how you interact with others?
This show doesn't miss and I'm in LOVE with the themes season 2 is exploring, especially with Rei and Hina!

*LEAD-BASED HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
A seemingly simple task for our girl MaoMao: Figure out which of the three sons will inherit their late father's technique - turns into a much more complicated puzzle to solve!
Meanwhile, Lakan is pushing buttons and testing the waters to see just how far he can stretch Jinshi's patience - I feel for our purple-haired man!

*SHIPS AHOY HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
This volume has an all-out battle on Vash's "family's" ship, where we learn a little more about Vash's past there, including his connection with some of the VERY Gung Ho Gun members that was not expanded upon in the OG anime!
Wolfwood and Vash have VERY different beliefs on how to handle the violent situation on the ship, but can they reconcile their differences before either of them die? This was SUCH a great rounding out of the first de...

OH HO HO -- y'all, I was NOT ready for this set of chapters! Shen QingQiu is reunited with a host of friends but no time for that, as war is on the horizon but also...so is...MUTUAL UNDERSTANDING AND...POSSIBLE FLIRTING?!

I was SO excited to see this episode but it gave me more than I expected! We got more "gentle parallel world" bonding, Isagi and Hiori strategizing, Kenyu being Aizen Sousuke's protege...but honestly?
REO. REO and Nagi, but REO. I have always loved Reo, his love story with Nagi, but this episode has cemented it! OTP, y'all! LET'S GO!

The plot is getting thicker and...thornier...and of course, if we've had Miki featured then next up HAS to be Juri!
I thought I liked Miki-centered episodes the most, but the Juri-centered ones are JUST as compelling and ripe for conversation! Things are heating up with these Black Rose Boys and I'm getting antsy waiting to see what happens next!

I thought this was just going to be a normal random fan book about the series, but there was a lot of intriguing information, a fun quiz, and also -- one section that is just -- WHAT THE EFF worthy! Miura...you approved this?!

We reach the chaotic conclusion and spiral into the center of the madness in this town and things do NOT go as planned for our characters! In true horror story fashion, there are shocks, heartbreak, and a larger than life antagonist that humanity may not be able to handle!
Plus, I decide to dive into the manga after the episode to talk about the differences between the manga and the anime, so strap in! I hope you enjoy ...

Yuu faces whether she is indeed "not capable of love," and Maki is skeptical, as she works with the boundaries of where her and Nanami are in their relationship!

All I can say is: HINA. YOU LEGEND. The *ANIMATION* of this episode, y'all. The emotions, the power, and Rei wasn't even here!
I would not have imagined back in season 1 that an episode focusing on Hina and Akari would have been this emotionally powerful, but March does like to subvert our expectations in the best way! WHAT an episode!

So, familiar faces are still alive and they are back with a vengeance! Milly and Meryl make cameos, but this volume was all about Wolfwood, Vash, and their trek back to "the village" of Vash's past...but this journey may end a wee bit differently than the '98 anime!

You know, I'm never going to turn down a Nanami-centered episode, but this really feels like a checkpoint of: Are you ready to mooooove forward?

Excuse me -- *SCREAMS* -- but this volume was...what else can I say?!
The twist makes sense, the twist makes me want to puke, and I was hit HARD by not only the fact that this was Miura's last volume he personally did, but how much is left unsaid, how much is left of the story unfinished, and how much of it makes me want to flip ALL the tables.
Thank goodness we have a volume to go to start Mori's journey with the series...I think...

Ho boy, this episode combines a LOT of my fears in the horror genre: Jump scares, worms, attacks to the body, parasitic fungi -- lots of creepy crawly content that spooked the daylights out of me but continues our spiral of madness down the rabbit hole that is Uzumaki! And only one episode left?!
