Hey Everyone,
I just wanted to give a brief (for me) note about comments and spoilers for Patreon and YouTube; I'm watching a lot of AMAZING series that I get so excited to go into blind with because of all the surprises, twists and turns, etc.
First of all, I don't want ANYONE to feel like they shouldn't comment on a video., because I love interacting with everyone...and I'm NOT a complaining person, so I feel awful posting this, but I feel I needed to be transparent ...

**TAKING CHARGE AND TAKING HEED OF HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
On the plus side, Toji's alive, Shinji finally takes a stand against his father and NERV, and there's references galore in this gorgeously animated episode.
On the other hand, everyone looks at death's door, Kaji and Gendo are mysterious and cryptic, and Shinji may be trapped within a feral Eva that is finally "awakened" to "HER" true power? Oh. Oh, no big deal. And we have SEVEN episodes to go, yet. **nervous ch...

All I wanted to do was give this season a replay,
I never wanted this to take up half your day, I SWEARRRRRRRR--
This was a monster of a season, so it only makes sense for it to be a monster of a recap....I did NOT intend for it to be this long. Buckle in, y'all. Don't worry, there's a Table of Contents in the Video Description on YouTube!
Thank you for your patience, watching with me, and for all the support!

**DUELING ACE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Man, I went into this volume believing the outcome was SO obvious, but then...TJ had other plans, eh?
Yakushi vs. Ichidai Third in this volume may be my favorite non-Seidou matchup. The duel between Sanada and Kosei reaching a climax, both teams giving it their all, our sweet bean Raichi (SOB) and Sanada's calm, cool support...and then cutting back to Seidou to round out the bits from the anime and getting an EXPLOSIVE start to the Norikane...

Ohhh, oh ho ho -- Askeladd, you just got SO much more mysterious! And I am SO excited to see where your character goes to from here -- so many new questions, and not many answers in sight...YET...just how I like a good mystery box!
Speaking of characters and mystery boxes, Canute continues to be intriguing, as poor Thorfinn is tasked with being his knigh--err, guardian on this new journey through Whales, with Thorkell seemingly now out of sight...but t...

I am excited to dive into this adorable, hilarious show that has seemingly won everyone over this year -- and after this pilot, I can see the hype!
"Twilight" aka "Loid," is already husbando material and Anya is absolutely precious and must be protected at all costs! I can't wait to see what shenanigans this fish-out-of-water spy-turned-father and his "unique" daughter will engage in throughout this season!

This series continues to pull surprise after surprise; Ashera's terrifying past connection with Yu, the question of what Yu EVEN IS, the first progenitor's takeover of Shinoa's body, WHATEVER THE HELL Saito has become, Guren's "Betrayal" to "save the world," and of course...Ferid just being the most chaotic troll he can be!

I was not emotionally prepared for this episode -- not only getting Misa being absolutely CHAOTIC, much to Light's growing chagrin, but now L decides to drop the "F" word, and it's a bombshell for our would-be god...but not nearly the bombshell that Rem delivers: Saying they'll kill L if it will make Misa happy...and it's not Rem's compliance that's necessarily the bomb, but the fact that Light...may...just maybe...actually care about L? &nbs...

Wow, this episode did NOT go as I expected! We had beautiful, soft (death-flag-ridden) flashbacks, insane action sequences, and what seemed like our crew perhaps getting ahead (no pun intended), only for the plot to literally come at us at the end...

OH, no big deal, nothing to see here, just HAK CONFESSING HIS LOVE FOR YONA!
And that's not all that's in this volume -- death, gore, tension -- I won't lie; the first third of this volume had my stomach in knots and my anxiety at a high! But Yona's strength, the resolve of our Five Star warriors and thunder beast, and Soo-Won coming FULL CIRCLE with his beliefs in the best way -- and that's all BEFORE the aftermath with Hak and Yona!&n...

So yes, Toji is the Fourth Child. Or...was....the Fourth Child?
But he's also the Thirteenth Angel. So...bait and switch?
This episode's first half was some of the most subtly foreboding and ominous atmosphere I've watched in a series -- leading to the second half, which goes off the rails, as Shinji is faced with the choice to kill, chooses NOT to, and then is forced to stand by and watch as his fathe...

The mystery with Canute deepens! This show makes you teeter back and forth with theories about "his highness," as Ragnar, Canute, and the Priest are lobbed around between Thorkell and Askeladd's groups.
Thorkell has revealed he knows Thorfinn's parents, Askeladd is revealing to us the audience that maybe he has a sliver of care for Thorfinn, and Canute is revealing that they did NOT take after King Sweyn in the looks de...

To celebrate hitting a subscriber goal on YouTube, I decided to watch a movie! And OH, what a movie you all picked for me!
I went into this film thinking it was going to be a sweet "missed connection" story, which it is, but at the halfway point it turns into SO MUCH MORE.

I'm excited to watch them with you! Thanks ...

But this "original vampire" is quite terrifying as he goes off possessing Hiragi after Hiragi, and SOMEHOW Yu was alive hundreds of years ago?! Say WHAT?! And Shinoa might be becoming a vam...

Hey everyone!
Last night, a tree was struck in half by lightning in front of my home; luckily no one was hurt, but it hit my friend's vehicle and my family spent most of the evening hacking up tree limbs and getting their vehicle free to drive.
We still have to do some cleanup today; I was planning to record the AOT Season 4 Part 2 recap to have it ready for Tuesday, but that won't be able to happen now. SO, here is the updated plan for the recap and Tuesday's schedule:

Kusanagi is out to prove this is not just a "fluffy, girly" Shojo, as she fills this volume with tragedy, gore, and some seriously gruesome moments amidst the complicated political web that's being woven between Xing and Kohka.
At least we also get Yona being a complete QUEEN as she lays down her "Authority" (seriously, Chapter 141 is one of my favorites so far) with Soo-Won, and literally stands in the way of arrows to protect those she cares...

This episode offers QUITE a unique introspective look at our mysteriously devilish Askeladd, as we get more into his head and outlook on the future, as he has a rare (so far) heart-to-heart with Thorfinn; not that our edgy teen is having any of it.
Speaking of the future and "not having it," we see how Ragnar tries to lay the best plans to get him and Canute out of battle, but Thorkell is NOT taking this whole "not battling" thing sitting do...
