**HEADPHONE WARNING**
We're starting Kuroko's Basketball, the manga, and WOW, the style is MOST certainly different at the start of this series! I have no doubt it's going to evolve as we go, though!
There are some interesting points left in, left out, and I forget how cocky Kagami comes across right at the beginning! It's going to be fun going back through this series from the manga angle and seeing what all changed and what all was adapted well or otherwise into th...

**SERIES FINALE FANGIRLING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
We finally make it to the LAST GAME movie and I am SO fangirling throughout this entire thing! There's so much to laugh and enjoy with this film, and yet so much to talk about as well! I honestly can't wait to talk with you all about it!
We still have a summer of Kuroko's Basketball content, but the anime has been a RIDE, y'all! I've really enjoyed it! Just GUARD YOUR EARS throughout this!

**LOVELY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
This series gets better and better and gives us more and more to talk about and this episode tackles that all so complex topic of: LOVE!
Everyone in this series is approaching love from a different angle, from the familial to that of protection, to selfish and lacking self-worth to completely oblivious! There's so much this episode gives us to mull over and I can't wait to talk about it with you all!

**REBELLIOUS HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
What I can say about this episode, I'm sure others have said, but it bears repeating: THIS. EPISODE. IS. MASTERFUL!
The character growth, the full-circle arc, the dynamic and complex ideologies of our two main men Canute and Thorfinn -- I was eating it up and this is by far my favorite episode of the season so far! I feel I've talked SO much about this episode, but there's still so much to say...I'll have to gather my thoughts for ne...

The plot has taken liftoff, folks! And we are introduced with a new character, a new bit of connection to Vash, and a WHOLE LOT OF MYSTERY suddenly thrust in our faces, as Vash proves he may be MUCH more than he seems...if he's even "Human?!"
This episode just upped the ante on my fascination with what's going on, y'all! I can't wait to dive in even deeper, now!

This episode is SO fascinating, as we instantly get more layers with Daisuke's character and more insight into Haru's past and why he's where he's at now in the "Modern Crimes" force!
We also get new characters, more mystery with Bruce Wayn-- I mean Daisuke, and I have more questions that I'm excited to discover the answers (hopefully) to as we go!

I'm SO intrigued by this "game" that has been placed upon Decim and the black-haired girl's shoulders and what it could mean -- the twists and turns are already RIVETING in this one and it's a two-parter, so....I may not be able to wait to see what happens next!

Hey everyone!
We are approaching, sadly, the end of Vinland Saga season 2 this month!
To prepare, I want to take suggestions to replace it to put into a poll for Patreon! Please NO sports anime, slice of life, or romance series (I'll watch those, don't worry!).
I'm looking for a series you all think would be a GOOD replacement for Vinland Saga, aka a similar show, so I'm excited to see what you all recommend!

The themes of the story also come out in full force and I LOVE how this episode is set up and all the shenanigans with Vash vs. the craziest of villains yet -- and maybe, JUST MAYBE, Meryl will realize that she's been following the REAL Vash the Stampede by now! We shall see, eh?

Lots of gorgeous visuals, stunning soundtrack moments, and overall NGE vibes that tie in this really intriguing short film that gave me a nice morsel of new Neon Genesis content! I hope you enjoy!

There are many things that can be concluded after watching this episode: Noe is a precious cinnamon bean that must be protected, The "Teacher" is TERRIFYING, and this series is going to be a ROLLER COASTER!
This flashback was so full of heart, cuteness, and a horrifyingly dark tonal shift -- but the twists and turns were SO well done alongside the animation - definitely my favorite episode so far and we're just getting started!...
