*GROUP LOVE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
The match with Akashi reaches a fever pitch, as this episode focuses on Ace vs. Ace: Mugumu vs. Chihaya! Both have different "end goals," but one thing is sure for both: Their teams are there to back them up! This was such a good episode, with lots to theorize about as we reach the climax of the Semifinals!

*NAUSEATING HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Listen, y'all - I realized what was going down this volume (one of the most disgusting media moments I've witnessed) - so I braced for this volume!
But I forgot all the amazing character development with Himeno, the mystery surrounding Makima and the Gun Devil so far, reveals on Aki's character, and Denji being afraid to get "down and dirty...." this volume was messy as it was enthralling...but I won't be thinking about French kisses anyt...

*MORALLY FOUND HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
What an episode! One focused on a father-daughter pairing who are so alike, and yet convicted to opposite paths that are opposed against one another...and they don't even know it! This episode had so much to bring up and talk about, as we have new characters, old "Friends," and the set up as we start to build towards the final act of this season!

The fangirling continues, as Shen Qiao confronts Yu Ai about his suspicious activities and things reach a boiling point - both in the tension between two childhood friends and Yan Wushi's patience in letting Shen Qiao try and navigate his not-so-happy reunion on Mt. Xuandu. The "Swoon-o-Meter" is off the CHARTS for this one, y'all!

*CO-DEPENDENT HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Wow, Episode 18 was really meant to be our "breath of fresh air," wasn't it? Especially in comparison to THIS episode! Things get tense, things get DARK, and Okarin officially has crashed out -- as it's down to the wire to undo Moeka's D-Mail and save Mayuri...but things may not go as Okarin has been planning...and that concerns me!

*HISTORICALLY WILD HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
I had NO idea what to expect with this movie but a "live action anime" was the least on my list but the MOST welcome! This movie is so funny, so wild, and so fun -- it's best to just witness and ask questions later! I hope you all enjoy this as much as I did! Thank you, Sunspots, for such a fun entry to help round out the year!!

We're finally past the anime content and I couldn't be more excited!

*WORTHY HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
When I started this short film patron Nicholas commissioned, I had no idea the emotional catharsis it would lead me towards - seriously, every child should see this movie...but pretty much any adult should also give it a look...and shed some tears over it as well. A simple, adorable, emotional gut punch to start our countdown to the end of the year!
