**HEADPHONE WARNING**
This first episode was a lot of fun, very intriguing, and is checking off a lot of boxes:
* Fun Characters? CHECK!
* Mystery and Intrigue, plus some comedy? CHECK!
* Possible BL elements or at least Junichi Suwabe voicing a character? CHECK!
I can't wait to see what's in store with this series! Plus, the character designer is Sadamoto (NGE manga) and the ED is Freddie Mercury...what's not to love?

*SEASON FINALE HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
Fujimoto does NOT let down with a season finale! This episode went in places I did NOT expect, but still delivered on action, emotion, mystery, and intriguing set ups as we exit season 1 and build the hype for season 2!
This series has been SO much fun and exceeded my expectations; it's going to be hard staying anime only while waiting on Season 2, but in February, we'll look at another Fujimoto work - "FIRE PUNCH" - to help p...

Hey all,
Just giving a heads up that I'm uploading the Season 1 finale of Chainsaw Man now, but it's taking much longer than I anticipated (it's a big file).
The reaction will be out today, but it may be later than 12:00 pm CST.
I just wanted to give a heads up!
Many thanks and Happy Wednesday!

*Maybe a Headphone Warning or Two*
We are finishing up the audio dramas from Season 1 this week! These had some HILARIOUS moments, especially the ones involving Kiyoshi and Hyuga -- AND we learn that Aomine may have a secret soft spot...but towards what, pray tell?
Next week, we'll round out the Season 1 "extra" goodies with character songs before diving into Season 2! I'm very excited to be getting closer to the new season! Happy New Year!

**TEARFUL HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Well...KyoAni, you did it. You brought me to tears in this episode! We finally get some backstory on Masaki of all characters, but it's Minato's encouragement for him not to waste time to reach out to others - since you never know when they'll be gone - that got me really misty-eyed!
And of COURSE, after that introspection into Masa's obsession with his grandfather, and Minato's heartfelt encouragement, we end up with a cliffhanger like THAT. I...

We reach the peak of the battle and it's a time for resolution and character reveals! There's parts from this episode, like Dabi's Dance, I've waited so long to be animated, so forgive me if I'm a bit hyper in this week's discussion and reaction! Can we all agree, though...that Compress could have taken the mask off a while back?

And as things start to spiral, MXTX hits us with pubescent Hua Cheng, Lang Ying/Xie Lian parallels, oh, and no big deal, but BAI WUXIANG IS HERE. ...

I really don't know what to say, except that Mob and Reigen's story has TOUCHED MY HEART! The bond between this mentor and student, how they've influenced each others' lives for the better -- we have now seen Mob and Reigen at their lowest points so far, and one has helped the other claw their way out of that despair into becoming a better person...it's...amazing!

But everything comes to a head and Light reveals that he has in fact been KIRA this entire time. But Near is quick to put him in his place and everything goes downhill from there! This ending -- it's poetic, indeed, though not as Shakespearean as I ...

This episode was so understated, soft, and yet PUNCHES you right in the gut at the most poignant moments. Our doctor Tenma retreats to a mercenary's training ground to learn to shoot a gun...and ends up affecting the lives of Hugo and a little girl far more than he can even realize!
There was so much to talk about and enjoy with this episode...but it definitely feels like the calm before the storm! Will Tenma be able to shoot Johan? I guess we'll see...

This series continues to climb higher and higher, up the steps as if to a shrine (where a certain coach may be a priest), as we get character growth with our boy Kaito, Minato being a BEST BOY, Shu being smoldering, and Seiya getting a talking to in the BEST of ways. Oh, and Nanao makes a new friend!
This episode is probably my favorite so far for so many reasons, and we still have SO much left to go this season! But the episode s...

I LOVED this episode, the work we got with Loid and Fiona, Yor proving herself, Anya defending her ship, and all the twists and turns...and we sadly only have two episodes left this season. Sad days, y'all! I'm glad it's at least coming back in 2023!

Man, three birthday celebrations, two character arcs of development, and a "breakup" all happen in this ONE episode! I love that the first part of this season has set up Mob's growth as a character, leading him to realize that he needs to be vocal about no longer being "used" by Reigen, and Reigen realizes just how "dependent" he'd become of Mob.
It's an amazing episode where Reigen gets a turn at becoming a better person like Mob has,...
