MONSTER: Episode 51 FULL LENGTH Reaction!

**LOVELY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

This episode had a lot of things happening all at once -- Tenma's been taken into custody, familiar faces are looking into ghosts of the past, and Lunge's on an extended vacation! 

There was a lot going on in this episode and it seems to be setting up for some reveals later on -- and I'm getting more and more anxious to see what they will be!

Blue Lock: Episode 4 FULL LENGTH Reaction!

**INTUITIVE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

Team Z is up against a new threat, who seems like they have a game plan -- will our rag tag group of strikers be able to have a BETTER counterattack?   

Plus, Isagi befriends Kunigami and starts to question what his own "weapon" in this series is that will give him the edge...and it just might be his own...intuition? Or is it the power of premonition? Or both? As famously quoted, "I can't wait to see how this turns out!"  &nbs...

One Piece (Live Action): Episode 6 FULL LENGTH Reaction & Review!

**CAPTAIN-ESQUE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

This was SUCH an emotional episode -- between Sanji's backstory to Luffy being so vulnerable and worried for his crew, as is Nami, whose past catches up to her...I can't believe we only have two episodes left but I'm SO excited for them!

The Case Study of Vanitas: Manga Volumes 1-5 Review!

After watching a FANTASTIC season of The Case Study of Vanitas, I was so intrigued by the manga and let me say: It does NOT disappoint! The artwork, the emotion, the energy -- this series has some incredible moments and there are a few interesting changes in the first five volumes that cover the first cour of the anime!   

Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!

TRIGUN: Episode 25 Early Access Reaction!

 **RESOLUTE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

After these last few episodes of tragic incidents...this episode deals with the aftermath and Vash's reconciliation -- as Meryl and Milly try to move forward as well and figure out what can be done. The result is a somber episode that's probably the most sobering penultimate episode for a series I've watched, but it's so good!  

And now all that's left is Knives...

**MAJOR HEADPHONE WARNINGS - I AM LOUD**  

Y'all -- this is a long video because this was a ROLLER COASTER of a reaction! I am gagged by the twists, the turns, the EMOTION, and our Xie Lian vs. Bai WuXiang (with the help of Hua Cheng and...someone that FINALLY shows up)!

**DREAMY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

This is one of my favorite episodes so far! A great conclusion to this mini arc with ALL the parallels and callbacks one could want and SO. MUCH. GROWTH. with Casca and Guts particularly!  

My shipper/romantic heart is full, I'm concerned for the future with these characters, and the visuals, score, and voice acting were just *chef's kiss*!

Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2: Episode 11 FULL LENGTH Reaction!

**FAVABEAN-AVOIDING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**  

This episode may be a set up for next week, but there's a LOT happening and a lot of WTF moments: Yuuji and Megumi strategizing with bunnies? WTF. Ino with various beast summons? WTF. Curse Users who wear and eat the flesh of others and potentially become them? WHAT. THE. FUDGE.  

 I ended up with more questions than answers this week, but I have faith Gege is going to give me an answer soon enough!

Attack on Titan: Manga Volume 27 Reaction & Review!

**HEADPHONE WARNING**  

This volume was filled with Eren being mysterious, Pandemonium in Paradis, and the lead up to how we go to this situation...sort of...and what it could mean for the future!   

These chapters showed just how frustratingly complicated things were getting and how the decisions to communicate (OR NOT) can make all the difference...oh, and Isayama reminds us how handsome Eren is...wasn't that nice of him?

My brother and I LOVED this episode -- I mean, Sanji was fabulous, of course, but seeing Mihawk and Don Kreig?! In all their glory? We were fangirling and fanboying like crazy over it and the character development we get in this episode!   

This episode was a load of fun and maybe my favorite so far!

While I'm still in denial that Wolfwood is gone, let's move forward to even MORE danger, as Legato and Knives make their move and their goal? Make Vash suffer ETERNAL PAIN. Nothing major.  

This episode ramped up from the last and with two episodes still left to go and an ending like THAT?! I'm definitely nervous!
