**MYSTERY FAKEOUT HEADPHONE WARNING**
We learn about our handsome mystery man in this episode and it leads to one of the most startling developments in a sports anime so far and I fell HOOK, LINE, and SINKER on this one! Hahaha, I hope you get a kick out of my sheer confusion and bafflement!
But yes, already the characters in this series are being vocal, emotional, and I can seem myself getting drawn into the struggles our boy Minato is going to tackle this season, and I'm ready f...

**WHOLESOME DOGGO HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Our mission against the terrorists reaches its resolution and now the bigger questions arise: Can Anya keep Mister Dog? What will his name be? Can Loid finally get a nap?!
This episode was SO CUTE and wholesome and I love that "Bond" has already wormed his way in the family's heart and home! And Anya has a plan to use Bond to get close to Damian! Do it, girl!

**INHERITED HEADPHONE WARNINGS BELOW**
This season has been so good so far, and the pacing is NOT letting up! Hawks faces Dabi, Mirko and the other heroes face the High End Nomus, and Shigaraki faces his inner self as his "awakening" is preempted before he can reach 100% -- does that mean he's less dangerous, though? **evil nervous laugh**
I can't wait to talk to you all about it -- just let me finish my bowl of hot wings, first! ^^ I cannot wait for what's to ...

Oh hey everyone! Remember when I was a sweet summer child and thought the worst of the cliffhangers was behind us? Remember when I thought Hua Cheng and Xie Lian were just going to go on a whimsical evening stroll or date? WHAT WERE THESE CHAPTERS?!

The wait was WORTH IT and just in time for Halloween for the newest volume's worth of chapters! The "dastardly trio" of Tsukasa, Natsuhiko, and Sakura finally pop into this arc to throw in just the right mix of chaos, malintent, and REVELATIONS!
Hanako is seemingly trapped in quite the paradox, but hopefully Yashiro can outwit Sakura, who may be the mastermind behind it all? Leading Natsuhiko on a string and giving Tsukasa what he wants?! Of cou...

Things are escalating as we head to the climax of this first season! Our characters reach their lowest as they valiantly fight but can't seem to match up to the powers of the Claw Division (though they manage to take several out and maybe have saved the kiddos from the Awakening Lab)...this episode was BONKERS! New characters (SHOOOOO), crazy animation, and THAT POST CREDIT SCENE?!

I was quite "Impatient" myself and couldn't wait to see what happened with Sayu and Daddy Yagami, but MY, is this an interesting development within Death Note! For the first time, Light is not "in control" and able to put a distinct plan into motion, and you can tell it aggravates him!
The outside world is perhaps bigger than this "god of the new world," so what will Light do about that? Meanwhile, Mello proves his scary competence...

I was so happy that at LEAST our crew is all reunited and back together, even if things seem in shambles -- now we just have to hope that Yun can be saved and our trio of badass female fighters ...

I'm thinking a movie or OVA (1 or 2-parts only) that is a stand alone thing (or has a manga/light novel it's based off of if anything). It could be anime, donghua, etc.
Any suggestions? I figured I'd leave this open for a ...
