**UNBOXING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
This second set of shorts for Link Click were SO FUN -- the new OP is a bop and the donghua team did NOT have to go that hard on it, and we get more intrigue with a livestream with creepiness and focus on Cheng learning martial arts!
Surely nothing from these shorts will tie into Season 2...right? @_@

**Flashback-Centered Headphone Warnings**
I was hoping for a flashback in this episode and we got that in SPADES! Getting to see how Cho-san, Takei, and Kiyomizu are all connected in their pasts was amazing -- and THEN we have the mystery of the death of Daisuke's MOTHER and some possible nefarious ties to the present...
...thankfully, Haru and Daisuke seem to be working together at the moment, but where do we go to from here?! Things just keep getting crazier! ...

**BLACKENED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
We are FINALLY here -- I'm watching Berserk for the first time! I've never seen this manga or anime, so I'll be going in COMPLETELY Blind into this monstrosity and seeing what it gives us!
So far, LOTS of set up, lots of questions, a mysterious no-named protagonist and possible love inter--I mean nemesis, and some very interesting themes poking their heads out of the ground! I'm so excited to dive into this one!

Y'ALL. Two years has been WORTH the wait -- this episode is SO packed iwth so much going on! I cannot BELIEVE it! FLASHBACK ARC TIME!

**WISHFUL HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Man, I forgot how intense this showdown with Rod, Historia, Kenny, and Eren got, leading up to the Scouts coming to their rescue -- but it was a LOT of fun reliving these moments, especially with the knowledge of how we'll "tie back around" to this chapel, oh say, a season or so from now! ;)
I definitely feel for Eren, who showcases finally a glimpse into his depression verbally and how he doesn't see the need to live...but yet, s...

Okay, so these are my favorite volumes YET! We not only get the conclusion of the To-Oh vs. Kaijou games, but the introduction of Nigou has its own CHAPTER (which was adorable), but we ALSO get the introduction of BOTH Himuro and fashion icon, Murisakibara!
And if that wasn't ENOUGH, we ALSO get the lead up and start of the Shutoku rematch against Seiren! And Midorima's never looked BETTER! This volume set had SO MUCH happe...

I was sad, thinking we wouldn't see Wolfwood again for a while after the end of episode 9...good thing the show wasn't going to let us off the hook THAT easily!
I officially LOVE the dynamic of Vash and Wolfwood -- two mysterious men who clearly have more going on behind the scenes than what they're letting on...and I'm so eager to see what we're going to get from them! In the meantime, here's some whacky hijinks and a Robin Hood-style s...

So, we still have plenty of Kuroko's Content to get through this summer, but while we do, I want to start narrowing down the options for the Sports Anime poll to replace Kuroko's Basketball!
The problem is there are a TON of options to choose from, so let's have some fun and chaos this summer! We're going to do a BRACKET to narrow down to the top choices for the final replacement poll!

**FELINE-FRIENDLY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
I wasn't sure what to expect going into these, but they were SO GOOD! This is the first of THREE sets of shorts I'll be reacting to, leading up to Link Click Season 2's premiere!
Cheng takes in a stray cat, it's revealed how indecisive Lu and Ling are, and we see not only Cheng be ACTUALLY strategic, but the show pulls some clever and dark twists, even for a chibi series! I'm excited for these!
**EMPOWERING HEADPHONE WARINGS**
Okay, so after my brain was SPINNING from last week, I had to go back and re-read parts of Volumes 2 and 3 and come back for a mini-theory recap with Whiteboard-kun! I hope y'all don't mind, but it was NEEDED!
These two chapters were few in number but had SO MUCH in them -- from a NEW character out of the blue, to Ling Wen's story getting MAJORLY expanded upon, to one of the craziest fights so far culiminating in...*Cue Eminem's music...

Oh ho ho! This series is getting more and more interesting, as a lot of my theories from last episode are turned on their head! I'm SO intrigued to see what is going to be discovered between Cho-san, Haru, Daisuke, Suzue, the first division, the Modern Crimes director -- EVERYONE has a stake in everything and things are getting dicier and we're ONLY halfway through the story! More please!

**SERIES FINALE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
I cannot believe we're already to the end! T-T And WHAT an ending it was! Such bittersweet, but beautiful vibes throughout, and I love how much both Decim and Chiyuki have grown throughout this series, and what their relationship ends up as -- it's just BEAUTIFUL.
Plus, the show leaves us with this sense that it COULD go on if needed, but it also isn't necessary to feel satisfied with the time we got at the QuinDecim...the e...
