**CHOREOGRAPHED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
OKAY SHOW, you did NOT have to immediately crank EVERYTHING in this series to an ELEVEN right off the bat! The animation, the fight choreography, the emotions, and the MYSTERY -- especially with these new characters (especially Mr. Qian) - is INSANELY good and I'm so hyped for this season!
I can't wait to talk with you all about this episode but this show gave us a glimpse of relief last week and now I'm already dreading what's to...

**THEORY TIME HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
After looking at Chapter 92 of the TGCF Manhua, we dive into these four chapters and OH MY GOSH -- I am with Xie Lian with "theory time" but we're looking at possible reincarnation?! The Mountain Spirits could be guoshi?! There are a LOT of theories thrown out in this one and Hua Cheng is trying to be MXTX and tell us not to get TOO crazy with the tinfoil hats, but how can we NOT?!
Oh, and Qi Ying is now a doll, there are corpse-eat...

**PLOT TWIST HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
WOW, so...a LOT happens in this episode! I'm sure there's lots of manga fun I'll catch up with when I react to it after this season that was left out or rearranged this episode, but can I say --
-- Fukuchi's character FASCINATES me now more than ever and I'm SO glad for the last few moments of this episode. "He's heeeeeerrrrrreeeeee!"

HOLY GUACAMOLE, this episode had a LOT going on! Threads connecting, questions answered (with more being posed), and of COURSE, Haru and Daisuke end up meeting in the middle...but things are insanely dangerous now and with all connection cut off...

**SHIPPABLE RIVALROUS HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Y'all, I am really getting into this series, and ESPECIALLY the characters of Griffith and Castra, and of course their "relationship" with Guts!
The first battle of Guts as a member of The Band of the Hawk takes place, and there's so much happening in terms of the character development, plot mysteries, and of course, enough shipper fuel to keep this girl burning for the next episode! Can't ALL the episodes be as "wholesome f...

Where...where do we even START?!
A beach episode. Gojo Lore. Daddy Dorito showing up. NANAMI. Hydrangeas. Getou's Guilt. Phallic References a la Sea Cucumbers.
I just...this episode went a LOT of ways I wasn't ready for. And there's a lot to talk about. Good thing Mei Mei is willing to do it for free, this round.

**REGRETTABLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
We're taking a slight "break" this week and before moving into the Season 3 part 2 manga content, checking out the manga version of "No Regrets!"
Not only was there the main story, some extra stories, but a really neat interview with Isayama himself! This was a nice treat to round out our expansion of Levi's character...before it's REALLY tested in the second half of season 3!
Thank you for watching with me ...

We FINALLY get a resolution to the last three episodes...but OH BOY, are we already out of one frying pan and into ANOTHER! As we delve into MORE fairy tale elements, Tenma is teaming up with unlikely individuals, and more and more people start to notice Johan and pursue him...it's getting crazy all over again, y'all!

We are ALREADY to the start of the Winter Cup, the training camp in the mountains, AND the re-match with Aomine and To-Oh! We are running and GUNNING this manga so far!
The fated reveal of Akashi is finally here near the halfway point of the manga and it's just as terrifying as can be, but what's also terrifying is the doom and gloom this rematch imposes -- mangaka, please stop showing me sad Kuroko...my heart can't take it! ...

**FALLING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Man, this series is so good and it just dips you RIGHT back into the tension and drama off the bat! The emotions, the anxiety, the animation, the pacing -- it all is so good in this opening episode and while I was worried the OP and ED wouldn't live up to season 1...I think we're in good hands!
This season is going to be a CRAZY ride; I can already tell! I just am sorry y'all have to wait a week in between with me!
**HEARTBREAKING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Did you want Yin Yu and Qi Ying's backstory? Did you want to have your heart ripped out and stomped on? Then are these chapters for YOU! I nearly cried several times reading this as we see how innocent Qi Ying truly is and his relationship with his shixiong -- all within the belly of the Mountain Spirit!
Oh, and the Manhua chapter 91 comes out at the PERFECT time, as we're talking Xie Lian as the Guoshi of Fang Xin...just in...

What a way to kick off this season! We learn the location and fates of some of our characters, faced with decisions and surrounded by some crazy personalities! But of course, at the center of it all is the one Dazai describes as "The Strongest Man" of the Detective Agency...and my heart was SOARING this episode -- when it wasn't freaking out from the reveals!

SHOW -- WHY?! We get some answers but then, of course, SO many more questions, as ghosts from Daisuke's past LITERALLY arrive on the scene and Cho-san and Takei make some decisions on how to handle the case!
Haru, I feel for you, honey, because things are so sketchy and EVERYONE is suspicious at this point! And I'm sure there's still more twists to come!

This story has already won me over with the character dynamics being set up, the mystery of the fantasy world-building, but y'all: Griffith and Castra have my heart already! I am SO curious about their characters and this rag tag group of young mercerneries: The Band of the Hawk!
Not to mention the mystery surrounding our protagonist, Guts, and the traumas he's dealt and is currently dealing with! I can't wait to see more! &...

"Friends" is one of my favorite episodes in the entirety of Attack on Titan, and I'm SO happy to see it in the manga, as we round out this "arc" so to speak...but note quite, right?
Seeing Eren realize things about Historia, Historia realize things about herself, and Levi learning things about his entire lineage was SOMETHING ELSE, and I am SO hyped for the next volume...but first...NO REGRETS NEXT WEEK!

Tenma finally crosses a point of no return, Roberto meets a surprising twist, Nina takes action, Karl reveals a MAJOR plot point, and Johan...Johan is staying as SILENT AS THE GRAVE...except to get Schubert to look him in the eyes.

The final set of shorts and while there isn't "as" much to "discuss," it's mainly because now I'm just HYPED for Season 2! I cannot WAIT!
These shorts did a great job of making me laugh, get more info on our boy Lu Guang, and even feel a little bit heartbroken...and CERTAINLY TEASED for the future of the series!
