We somehow managed to have 64 individual waifus for the bracket, so YAY!
However, we had WAY more than 64 husbando nominations. We have 31 spots guaranteed for nominations that had over 2 votes.
So, for the remaining 33 spots, I'm splitting the options into three polls!
For Round One, vote for your favorite husbando options out of the following:

Oh, Hak, you precious, perfect man. I feel for you -- well, I have all season at this point! Our "crew" puts forth a mission to infiltrate Kumji's ship to help save the captured women, but it means Yona has to step up and be the bait that infiltrates!
Luckily, she's not alone in this endeavor, but Hak and our dragons have varying thoughts about this ...

I've had a LOT of amazing nominations -- so many I'm already over 64 choices for "Best Husbando" (and I haven't even checked the Waifus, yet)!
So, since I'm going to poll to help narrow down the 64 choices, I am going to close nominations for the Husbando & Waifu bracket at 12:00 pm CST tomorrow!
If you haven't filled out the nomination and still want to, here's the form:

The second part of our adventure with Adam Whitely, and things take a GRISLY turn, with expected and unexpected twists, as Milverton tries to destroy the "White Knight of London," and William Moriarty tries to save him.

We end the first act of this season, and boy, HOW WE ROUND IT OUT!
My jaw was on the FLOOR for most of this episode.
I appreciate the levity that Jayce and Viktor give in this, because it is NEEDED. Silco (finally get his name) is a very intriguing antagonist and there's so many parallels between him and his "Brother" Vander and Vi and Powder -- the visual symbolism, music, and animation was at its best so far, and I love the twists and turns ...

There's something so fun about seeing other teams face each other, and I think this set of episodes cemented my love of Raichi and Sanada. SERIOUSLY, these two and this team. It's going to be hard rooting for both Seido and Yakushi in the final, but I'm up to the challenge!
I have many thoughts about the Ochiai-Kataoka dynamic, Miyuki's probably-injury, Todoroki's coaching strategy, the "what-if's" of Kosei's decision, and Yakushi in general, but ...

Oh, friends, I'm SO excited to start this series! This series is already looking to be so adorable and refreshing, perfect for the start of the year!
Miyano is so precious and relatable, but this mysterious tall ginger Sasaki looks to be much more than meets the eye, and I already love the character dynamics being set up -- I have a feeling this is going to be a fun series to gush over, and I'm excited to fangirl with you all!
