**Maybe a Headphone Warning?**
Ugumori wins the hearts of the crowd...and my own...with this set of episodes! Y'all know I love the series "REAL," so Nao's backstory tugged at my heartstrings, and they're clearly making this to where Seidou is the underdog!
Our Sunshine boy comes out, but the tension is ON as he faces down Umemiya in the twilight inning of the game...and of COURSE, I've been doing really good to avoid cliffhangers in this series...until now. I apologize for the wa...

Y'all say this is a "happier" episode this season... *nervous chuckle* Well, that makes me...fearful of the rest of the series, haha!
This standalone episode was so emotionally charged -- I'm a big sucker for romance, and that was the core of this OVA -- it was SO sweet and the message of love being "worth it" was wonderful as well. And as always, the animation was gorgeous, and I love seeing the banter between Lu and Cheng, of course. ^^ A nice "breather," huh, before diving back into ...

I feel my reaction won't do justice to just how GOOD this episode is and how much I love it.
Armin, Levi, Eren, Erwin, Hange, Jean; all my top favorites in this series along with Mikasa, Connie, Sasha...and FLOCH (who is fascinating already), gathered in one location to argue for the life of "He Who Will Save Hu...

If I had a dollar for every time I said, "Oh my God," in this episode...well...I'd be able to buy a LOT of Emperor's Smile to pass around for everyone.
I was expecting the Lotus Pier burning to be tragic...but...y'all...I wasn't ready for the acting between our three "siblings," the subtle (but more PAINFUL) plot twists The Untamed does, and just...the heartache is real, y'all. What a set of episodes! T_T

I had forgotten (somehow) about the moment that WuXian gets caught up in Mingjue's resentful energy and via empathy sees Yao's backstory with him! Yao's voice actor is SO good in the audio drama and it's so sad yet intriguing to see his past with XiChen and Mingjue!
We look solely and Chapter 48 and the "Washing Clothes" extra in this part's discussion, but there's still a lot to talk about!

I'm a feral mess this episode, just to forewarn you all.

This isn't the direction I saw this series taking back in Episode 3, but our mini-arc (seemingly) reaches its conclusion with an extremely emotional look into the importance of our past and how it impacts our futures...and the relevance of that impact, despite how grim that past may be, and how much we wish we could change it.

I am amazed we're not at the flashback yet, but still with season 3 donghua material! It's crazy! But I won't complain, because we get Paperman WuXian adorableness, Qin Su's introduction, and the INCREDIBLE voice-acting by Yao's VA! Seriously...CHILLS!

I have MISSED animated Given, and this OVA was so darn wholesome and sweet!
Taking the moments that The Given Movie couldn't fit in, this OVA does a really good job of compiling all the wonderful manga moments, like Uenoyama and Hiiragi "officially" meeting and sweet Uenoyama x Mafuyu softness...I really hope they eventually do a second season!
