*CHEWY HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Oohhhh, this episode is amazing! SO creepy, so heartwarming, just what you would expect of Natsume's Book of Friends, right?
Honestly, this episode is one of my favorites of the season, as Natsume gets closer to his foster father Shigeru and realizes that the house he loves...may be in danger!

*BROTHERLY HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Kiryuu -- you complicated, frustrating, interesting man! I am SO intrigued by Touga Kiryuu and his antics in this series, and THIS episode, he puts a lot of things into motion through manipulation!
Just like last week, there are a lot of things to discuss, theorize about, and wonder about for the future, but for now -- Kiryuu is becoming a formidable "Antagonist" already!

Okay, I know I am hyping this up WAY in advance!
BUT, starting the Friday after Thanksgiving (after Bloom Into You is concluded) I am going to be diving into Delicious in Dungeon (aka Dungeon Meshi) on the channel!
Why the post so early, then?
I am doing something I've never done on the channel before: COOKED.
Yes, scary, I know. My hope is (attempt) to cook a dish from the show while answering ...

Honestly? I was so ready to leave Griffith and his sheep and get back to that ship and I was not disappointed! Avast, ye mateys! Some super creepy demonic pirates attack and our crew take shelter on a seemingly quaint little island port, but of course...NOTHING is as it seems!
Plus, Isidro and Schierke make a friend, and she's quite...fishy! This volume was so fun and I was so glad to Guts again! It's about time!

*APPLYING FOR HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
I am really excited by how this series is handling this "relationship" developing between Nanami and Yuu -- as both start working on a campaign to get Nanami elected as new Student Council President!
But amidst the "reasons" for having Yuu help, Yuu is trying to reason how she feels about Nanami, Nanami is doing damage control with her best friend, and this series' approach to sexuality and its many layers is SO intriguing!
*CONFESSED HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
It's so refreshing and wonderful to see Rei developing as a character - to see him emotional and wanting to take on responsibilities and help out the sisters that have helped him!
This episode was so much fun! I am rooting for Rei, Akari, and Hina to be able to pull through this tribulation stronger and in a better place!

What I thought was going to be a happy, slice of life trip home for MaoMao has turned into yet another detective case! Luckily, MaoMao's totally on board with working with her dad to help and figure things out!
After a sad day, this episode not only didn't steer the "Rule of 8" wrong, but made my day so much brighter! PLUS, Jinshi...we are ONTO YOU, sir! Too bad MaoMao doesn't seem to be! "That's rough, buddy."

Now that we've caught up with the content from season 1, we're ready to dive into uncharted waters! And just like the anime, it is HILARIOUS!
Uramichi develops a friendship with an unlikely character, discovers more of Kikaku's unhinged personality, and DOG SITS. What more could we ask for?!

*BRANCHING INTO THE ETHEREAL HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
It's so intriguing how a show can take such a simple concept and message and yet make it engaging, humorous, and show the KINDNESS and how it's IMPORTANT. And Natsume's the perfect advocate of that message!
This episode was so sweet, lovely, and slightly creepy - but what else is new?

And as this volume wraps up and this seems a potential "tale as old as time in the making, the question remains: Is Shen QingQiu going to be given a library from thi...

Y'all -- this episode GRABBED me by the shoulders and chucked me INTO Whiteboard-kun!
I. Am. Gobsmacked!

So...let's talk positives vs. negatives:
Positives - This is definitely Miura's most ambitious and beautifully illustrated volume of possibly the whole series! Lots of wild and creative designs and world-building as the human real and astral realm start to combine!
Negatives - Y'all. I'm just *over* Griffith winning 4D chess against himself. The worst part being the story almost wanting us to overlook Griffith's evil actions and acce...

This episode was SO bonkers in the best way! Nanami accidentally "causes" a Freaky Friday body switch between Utena and Anthy! WHAT?!
Leading Nanami to go on a global trip to find a cure; meanwhile, Anthy and Utena get to exchange bodies and subsequently their "roles" in their relationship -- this was such a laugh out loud fest that I feel may be needed before that preview slips us the real stuff about to go down...

Thank you, Patreon, for voting for this one! What a spectacle animation-wise!
Just the right dash of romance, sprint of action, dose of mythology, and presence of yet another white-cat-appearing-cute-voiced "antagonist" to make me have Madoka Magica flashbacks! This was a lot of fun to watch and I hope you enjoy the reaction, too!
