There are six light novels in total and while I was originally going to do one video for them all...you can see I have PLENTY to talk about with the first one, already!
This novel was a hilarious series of vignettes involving Seiren, Teiko Middle School days, and poor Kaijou, who should probably stick to playing basketball over talking to women! ;) I hope you enjoy my rambles and I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Thank you for watching with me and for all the sup...

**CALCULATED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
We finally get to the bottom of "The Beast" of Gevaudan, but it's much more layered than we once believed, and MUCH more tragic, as we learn the backstory of Jean-Jaques and his love for Chloe -- I just want these two beans to make it out happily!
But that doesn't seem likely, as Vanitas and Jeanne arrive on the scene, along with Astolfo, and Naenia seems to be leading Chloe to take some VERY drastic steps with the Alteration E...

**LUNAR-RIFIC HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
THIS SERIES just gets better and better, as Legato sends two of the Gung-Ho Gang to provoke Vash, and provoked he IS!
We're getting closer and closer to the lore behind the man in red, and a familiar face shows up with a very unmerciful soul! I cannot tell you how EXCITED I am to see where this series takes us into the final act!

**PHOTOGRAPHIC HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Okay, Mr. Qian is officially the most mysterious and intriguing character for me in this new season! We learn a LOT about his backstory this episode, but that just sparks even MORE suspicion about his motives and whether or not he actually has an ability!
This episode was a lot less "confusing" than last, but even more insane because of the questions answered but so many asked along the way -- is the Red Eyes XiXi? What happe...

It's the last set of chapters for Volume 5 and WHAT a chaotic, insane volume this has been? We FINALLY meet the Rain Master after all this time and I am SHAKEN by their "thunderous" presence and the new ship I'm sailing thanks to their tranquility and tragic backstory!
And what a place to end on! The mystery is getting wilder and I cannot WAIT to start Volume 6 next week...it's all up to Xie Lian and Hua Cheng as they arrive at the f...

Just so y'all know, zombie stories terrify me. So this was a fun episode! Things just keep getting better and better for our crew, right? RIGHT?! **NERVOUS LAUGHTER** I have no clue what to expect at this point, but I do know one thing: I LOVE BRAM! Despite his terrifying ability!

This episode made me really feel for Getou and for Gojo. With one so focused on training so he can be strong enough to never "lose another person" close to him, he neglects to notice the incredible spiral the other...

**GHASTLY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Grimmer is SUCH a fascinating character and a surprisingly terrifying interrogator, but this case with "Mr. Petrov" becomes so much more than I anticipated going into this episode!
This episode proves we can't judge people from their past actions, or by the "covers" presented to us...and that the mystery and lore of this series is by NO MEANS finished surprising us and getting crazier!

Ever since Legato showed up, I've been so fascinated by his character and now that we're introduced to his "little Gung-Ho Guns gang"...I'm even MORE intrigued!
We get our first battle with "Demon's Eye" Dominique, who proves to have QUITE a pesky ability -- we're getting more and more with Vash, more questions, and poor Milly and Meryl look like they're about to be left behind. Maybe that's for the best, though!

Gojo becomes humbled by Toji, who's maybe not a total deadbeat dad.
Gojo realizes he's basically a living deity and gets high as balls on his power.
Gojo comes into conflict with Getou, who slowly is realizing the desparety between the two of them...this will all lead to great things, I'm sure! ...

A large portion of Episode 13 was a recap, so I decided to go ahead and watch Episode 14 as well -- which was a GREAT idea, because while we still got new information in Episode 13, both episodes focus on Meryl and her quest to gain better understanding of Vash and herself! These were GREAT episodes and a nice way to spring-board us into the second half of the season!
