**Headphone Warning**
The bizarre physical and delayed humor of Seraph of the End along with the fan service goodness combined in this (sadly) short collection of four mini-episodes! I will really miss the Seraph of the End anime, but I'm excited to move forward into the manga territory!

**NOSTALGIC HEADPHONE WARNINGS ABOUND**
And so, we conclude Seiho vs. Seido (no surprises, just a new friend for Sawamura!), as Inashiro lays down the gauntlet for summer and our Top 20 for Seido are revealed! Of course, we still don't know who the ace is going to be...TJ is just teasing us at this point! ^^
We DO get a heaping haul of nostalgia in this set of episodes, though, as we go through another pre-summer tournament training camp (OH how the times have changed) and Sawamur...

**PIRATING HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Man, Askeladd is out here having the time of his life as a mercenary/pirate....meanwhile, Thorfinn (Now 16 YEARS OLD), is living his most angst-apathy-filled life keeping to his mission to extract revenge for his father's death, while following close to Askeladd and the Viking's side...
...meanwhile, a temporary "break" is being established, Floki is still alive and kicking, and after an insane tonal whiplash of a battle (both gruesome and hilarious...

**SHIPPABLE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
All I've wanted from this series has been humor where the original series denies us, fun easter eggs, and some semblance of romance with our characters where the original series sorely keeps at arm's length from us...and this episode. This episode DELIVERED.
There are too many moments to mention and too many easter eggs to county (OMG), but this episode definitely made me feel sorry for and feel for our boy Bertholdt all over aga...

**HEADPHONE WARNINGS FOR YOI GOODNESS**
It's so fun re-watching this series and reliving the fangirl-glorious moments! Episodes 3 and 4 may not be my favorites, but they are SO important for setting up so much with our two Yuri's, Victor, the short routines, and the character development that will occur throughout the remainder of this series!
No worries, though; there's still PLENTY of goodness in these two episodes!
It's alllllll uphill from here and I can't wait! ...
**ROMANTIC DESERT-FILLED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Oohhh, y'all, I'm getting sucked into this series! Xie Lian is the MOST precious and MUST be protected -- I'm glad that he pretty much has a squad ready to do so for him, though!(But y'all suck at fending off sandstorm whirlwinds, though)!
San Lang is more suspicious but also more charming, Feng and Yao's bro-protec squad mentality is adorable, and things are getting more intricate, interesting, and the cliffhangers are making me...

**ALL THE HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Angels, Demons, Vampires, Humans -- and a giant battle royale at an abandoned post-apocalyptic airport. Seems fitting and yet so far from where we started in this show...and yet, the last scene ties back the idea of "Found Family" and "running away to a better future" SO WELL. I see you, show; I see you. Yet, there's still so many unanswered questions!
This finale didn't have to go this hard, but it did -- as I catch up with the m...

*JAW ON THE FLOOR HEADPHONE WARNING*
What can I say about this episode except: OH MY GOD! I didn't suspect that L would just waltz up to Light and announce who he is, but HERE. WE. ARE.
I cannot tell you how insanely excited I was with this episode, but the reaction will probably speak for itself...and we have so much set up: L and Light become besties on campus, the cat and mouse getting OH so much more interesting, and Light FINALLY truly losing his cool...oh,...

**RIBBONOUS HEADPHONE WARNING**
Zenitsu and another Oiran are now amongst the missing and ohhh, things are getting VERY interesting -- as Inosuke gets impatient, Tanjiro gets bold, and Tengen gets SERIOUS!
The humor is still bizarrely wonderful and the animation and action fast-paced, but Tanjiro, my dude! Please stop scaring me like this...y'all know you can't crack this against an upper moon demon alone! **sweats**

**THUNDEROUS HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Oh ho hoooooo, where do we even start? This volume went by fast and furiously, as all parties converged to save Riri from Sei's forces executing her. There were dueling dragons, wind tribe bomb launchings, and two insanely closer friends torn apart by one's actions were suddenly forced to work together to save their friend....THE EMOTIONS, Y'ALL, with this one!
Oh, and Hak and Yona maybe are starting to possibly realize there could be some more-th...

**FEMALE-FUELED HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
For a 90's seemingly Shonen anime, this series really let the men step back and let three of our adult female characters - Misato, Akagi, and the now-named Maya - step in and save the day from a seemingly fast-evolving angel "invasion."
While on the one hand being a fast-paced, tense, high-tech showdown that didn't involve a single blade swing from an Evangelion, on the other hand it was a deeper dive into Akagi's thoughts o...

Y'all didn't warn me enough for the MuraMura Battery...and how much I would love it.
I love Miyuki and Sawamura's battery with all my heart, but there is something unique about our sunny Shiba Inu and Wolf Boy working it on the field, and Koshu being the MOST serious and encouraging Sawamura? "You won't die alone?!" SEIDOU NEVER SAYS DIE! Seriously, these episodes warmed my heart and my face was hurting with how much I was smiling and laughing ...

**SOME CRUEL HEADPHONE WARNINGS**
Oh, the world is beautiful, but it is also cruel. Askeladd and Bjorn continue to be interesting as we get further and further into this series, but our boy Thorfinn...this six-year-old is now a pre-teen at twelve and has spent the last half a decade growing up under the Viking lifestyle. You can see how it's affected him, but even then, there are "sparks" of his father's teachings that shine through...even if they are burned out by the flames of destruc...

*OMINOUS HEADPHONE WARNINGS*
I was excited by Erwin making a cameo in this episode, and while that WAS great, the REAL surprise was seeing FRIEDA -- a character we won't encounter until season THREE of the main series -- and the fact that she engages with both Historia AND Eren? Intriguing, indeed!
This episode was creepy, kooky, mysterious and spooky; altogether ooky! But I really enjoyed it!

After many requests, and because it's both the month of Pride and start of summer, I'm re-watching one of my go-to comfort anime and discussing it! And we're doing the English dub, because it's ADORABLE.
I hope you all enjoy the next month or so, as I discuss this wholesome ice-skating anime and hopefully, we'll spark MAPPA to life to finish the Ice Adolescence movie.

Ol' Smirk, Jr. aka San Lang is the focus of this episode and WHAT an intriguing character he's shaping up to be! He's checking off all my "character I adore" boxes:

- Mysterious and Maybe Angsty Past? Check!
- Utter Devotion and Desire to Protect Our Cinnamon Bun Deity? CHECK!!

Holy smokes, I don't know what I loved more:
* The bizarre detective antics of L/Ryuzaki
* The bizarre withdrawal symptoms of Ryuk
* The utter tension of the cat and mouse between Light and L
or
the MOST DRAMATIC CHIP EATING OF ALL TIME.
Maybe all of it. This episode was amazing and there's so much to talk about.
Thank you for watching with me and for all the support!
**THUNDEROUS HEADPHONE WARNING**
I was SO excited by the character work we see with Inosuke and Zenitsu in this episode, while Tanjiro is off being best boy in the bath house -- but man! Daki - aka our beautifully deadly upper moon demon -- is already establishing herself as a force to be reckoned with!
This episode was bloody, beautifully animated, morbidly humorous, and leaving off with a cliffhanger that will definitely have me watching the next episode sooner than later! With ...

Next episode is the halfway point of the anime series, and I don't know whether to be super hyped or incredibly nervous...both? Both sounds g...

My heart was not ready for the emotional roller coaster these sets of episodes were! Not one, but TWO catcher injuries, and the two teams involved having to work through their situations to beat their opponents. Leave it to a King and a Sunshine Boy to bring out that "winning" mentality, though, to persevere!
I am loving the "All Star Weekend" and scrimmages in this set of episodes; these episodes just that right blend of emotion and ins...

The struggles of a six-year-old, y'all! I have to keep reminding myself this is a LITERAL child going through all this.
And I LOVE that we're getting more into Bjorn and Askeladd's characters and insight into the grieving process for Ylva and Helga...it'...
