**C-C-C-Changes and Headphone Warnings**
These three episodes were a TRIP! The first half were heartbreaking and harrowing...and then...KIYOSHI TEPPEI appears and we're onto a new journey!
What a way to switch gears towards the Winter Cup, with Kiyoshi arriving! He's SUCH an interesting character and I love him already! He definitely has in mind to help Kuroko and Kagami's bond grow stronger...lucky for him, he doesn't need to talk to them -- our boys are figuring things out for t...

Despite the calm atmosphere of Tsurune, things get TENSE in this episode, as our boys head to their first tournament and instantly butt heads with the prestigious rival academy! These twins are SOMETHING ELSE, eh?
Not only that, but Minato reunites with his former teammate Fujiwara and the MYSTERY between the three former teammates increases! But there's ALSO players not feeling well, Kaito struggling, and overall a LOT going on!
This series has ...

This show continues to be hilarious, as Anya follows her father to work for the day and ends up getting into - surprising no one - trouble and manages to make both Loid AND Henry Henderson get a few more gray hairs!
But not only that, she's working on her own future profession: Being a spy! Loid, you have so much influence on this girl and you don't even know it!

**OP-FORESHADOWY HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
So, season two starts off with Mob and Reigen on fun adventures, but quickly kicks up a notch towards "Existential Angst City," as Mob is tasked with exorcising something that may...NOT...be all that evil. And thus the moral questioning of his job as a psychic is put FRONT and CENTER!
Reigen is also left to ask the question of whether Mob's future and well-being takes precedence over his business and Dimple reveals he may be out ...

Near is closing in on Light, so it seems, but Light doesn't seem TOO concerned; after all, he has two loyal "followers" - Mikami and Kiyomi - who seem apt to do anything Light aka Kira tells them to! The showdown between Near and Light is set up, as Near heads to Japan!
Meanwhile, a Death Note-less Misa still thinks she has Light all to herself, and makes a BOLD proclamation to Kiyomi...but Light's named her "goddess of the new world,"...

Okay, so going into these volumes I was NOT expecting that we'd be getting to the Toji storyline THIS SOON. So to say I was floored is an UNDERSTATEMENT.
I enjoyed the first three volumes, but this was EVEN BETTER! So many beautiful characterizations, especially with Shinji, Toji, and Aida -- Asuka's "new" introduction (maybe my favorite so far), and the way that Sadamoto illustrates with such emotion and...romance? I am absolutely LOVING the manga jou...

But MAN, Episodes 15-17 are WILD -- this game against Aomine, even when he's not on the court, is TENSE! Plus, Kagami and Aomine trying to test one another, outdo one another, all the while Kagami is trying to nurse a bad leg and keep Kuroko's emotions in check? AND there's Momoi to ...

I am loving the Mob and Reigen duo antics this season so far, but sprinkle Dimple-sama and a new conman who may ACTUALLY also be a psychic into the mix, and it makes for some hilarious hijinks!

But it was actually the OVA for Season 2, Episode 16.5... **Facepalm**
