CONTAGIOUS IDIOCY! Our squad's shaping up real nice, now that's Chris accepted the comfort & assistance from Genjuro (the GOAT), willing to work together with Hibiki & Tsubasa to protect the Tokyo Sky Tower by suppressing the airborne Noise threat. I adore Hibiki's reasoning behind her inability to manifest an Armed Gear, it truly does suit her, plus it helps that she always manages to make everyone else match her pace!
I won't ...
WAIT, WHAT?! Shit, well that caught me so off guard, seeing Amiya's Black Arts, her mysterious powers that haven't been explained yet, run out-of-control in response to her fear for the Doctor's safety & intense desire to protect him... Rhodes Island's ideals were broken by their leader, the one who inspired them all to pursue this arduous path, and what's worse is that Misha bore witness to it all. I feel so saddened, Misha's onto the pat...

BEST GIRL RETURNS! Tsundere Elf straight up stole the spotlight, cause she managed to fight "Blaze Dragon" Uncle, emerge victorious, revert him back to human form, and even protect him from headhunters while dealing with their disrespect & greed towards her. I'll admit, much like the production staff, based on how well they treat Elf's scenes, I adore her so much... so yes, I was very pleased to see the cute bonding with Uncle.
I can...

"MR. STEAL YOUR GIRL" REI! I'll admit, this might be the "weakest" episode so far, cause while the comedy was good, I don't care much about Rei, even though it was cool to see him pop up so soon after Ran's introduction and explanation for her motives. I'll welcome any character development for him, but until then, he's very "one note" and I'd rather spend time with other characters... so I hope he doesn't turn into a series regular like Mendo...

ARE YOU SERIOUS?! So not only do we find out the Panda's true identity, we expand on the plotline from 15 years prior (where Ranko's master was murdered), and even steal away the one chance at true happiness for Ranko & Suehiro... I mean, yes, it's come full circle, revenge was bound to happen, but it still pisses me off that they believed they were helping, even after being told to stay out of it.
On the plus side, we do know the t...
URUSHI SAVES THE DAY! Fran & Teacher have been successfully reunited, all thanks to the newly summoned (and evolved) wolf familiar known as Urushi, whose skillset was very much needed to resolve this crisis... which Best Daughter did her best to survive, never truly giving up & even acting as decoy to protect the other adventurers there. So proud of how far she's come, she definitely deserved that praise from Teacher!
Still happy...

"UNHAND THOSE PANTIES" 😂 I don't mind switching gears & embracing the fanservice, cause even the animators were down bad for these (incredibly) attractive ladies... those camera angles were pure degeneracy & it's much appreciated! Still dying over the whole underwear purchase scene between Iris & Alexia... our girl's determined to make moves on Cid & it's pure comedy gold!
Off we go to the Sacred Land, Lindwurm, where ...

UNCLE'S FINALLY BACK! I do hope, first & foremost, the whole production team from Studio AtelierPontdarc's alive & well after all the covid outbreaks... I can't even imagine how stressful it must have been, so I don't personally mind the fact we had to wait until the Fall season of anime to continue the series. I do hope, at least, we'll see it air to completion this time though!
Felt so damn nice to (finally) expand upon the pre...

AERIAL'S EVOLUTION! I'll admit, definitely wasn't expecting duels to encompass team battles, so the 6v6 fight was a pleasant surprise, especially since it meant that ChuChu & the Earth House got their time in the spotlight... even if they don't have as much skill as Suletta, they proved exactly why it can be fatal to underestimate your opponent!
Aerial overcoming the "anti-gundam weapons," the "antidote," was incredible... the blue c...

HOW DARE YOU, EDGAR!! I got so angry, my knuckles actually hurt from how hard I was clenching my hands... this was straight up unacceptable, the dude's an absolute scumbag and I do hope we'll never see him redeemed, but rather, severely punished for the shit he's pulled. Seriously, someone please introduce Edgar to the cold, hard floor (several times)! Or better yet, just kill the dude, the world would be so much better off without him.
ULTIMATE TENNIS! So... anyone else speechless by the animation on display, cause the production staff seriously turned up the heat for this underground tennis tournament, it was so absurdly good for an impromptu "sports anime" twist! I swear, this show's on another level, it even made tennis entertaining as hell, and I'm normally not into that sport!
So glad we're getting the "joint operations" mission though, always an absolute delight ...

WEAPONIZED EVIL CYCLE?! I can't believe this happened... never would've thought about utilizing wicked phases in battle, such an incredible twist & very fitting for Balam's training to make them the strongest fighters, cause it's all about using everything to survive & win after all. I got chills seeing Asmodeus go unhinged, the elegance of his movements paired with the sheer firepower on display, plus his VA's performance, made it qui...

PURE RAGE! Gran Torino's worst fears almost came true, OFA's theft was nearly stolen away, and it all came down to luck & strength of will... if it wasn't for the incomplete awakening, the heroes would be checkmated entirely. I'd daresay the series itself would end, there'd be no salvation from that outcome after all.
I do appreciate the significance of Nana Shimura showing up to help out Midoriya, with the whole "grandmother vs gran...

VOCALIST ACQUIRED! Seeing Bocchi speak her mind & passionately attempt to persuade Kita into joining Kessoku Band, to become their vocalist even despite ditching them once before... well, it just made me so proud, because we know how much she struggles to express herself openly, which only makes it more significant. I mean, everyone deserves a second chance, especially when they're obviously trying hard to improve themselves, like with Kit...

SURVIVING YOUR FIRST JOB! I can still remember that feeling of fear/anxiety/uncertainty when I started my first job, which just so happened to be customer service in the fast food industry, so it really did hit different seeing what Bocchi was going through... and it makes me so happy to see her take another step forward, making that eye contact and showing respect to the customer, it's a slow & steady journey and I'm here for it!

AN INTROVERT'S STRUGGLES! I'll admit it, this was much more entertaining than anticipated, so hats off to everyone who convinced me to check it out... y'all nailed it, already relating so hard with Bocchi & her social anxiety/awkwardness, plus the production values of the show are spectacular, the art-style changes and the fluidity of character movement really do impress me!
I'd be sold on comedy alone, but following Bocchi's journey...

"NO FATALITIES"... So begins my journey into this series of racial discrimination, government coverups, the horrors of warfare, spider-mechs (drones), and a severe lack of responsibility/accountability by the citizens of this nation, not just those in power.
I'll admit, not my favorite premiere out there, but it's still appreciated that we're thrown into battle immediately, no exposition dumps, but right into the chaos as a small taste ...
FIGHTING YOUR OWN BATTLES! Still makes me emotional seeing Tsubasa's official return, both to the battlefield & to the stage, but with a renewed sense of appreciation for music & singing, cause the development she's gone through has been nothing but fantastic! On top of her growth, Hibiki's kicking serious butt & slowly befriending Chris, one step at a time, which I love to see!
I will say, the scenes between Chris & Gen...
CAUGHT OFF GUARD! I swear, anytime Talulah's on screen, my hype levels immediately skyrocket cause something major will always happen, considering how she's a "one woman army" capable of incredible amounts of firepower (pun intended) and destruction! I do hope we'll learn more about her someday.
I do enjoy the fact that Amiya stood up & called Ch'en out, dealing with her bullshit during this "Misha's been captured by...

RAN'S SCHEMES! Not all childhood friends are on good terms, it seems, but I will say, the disconnect between the real & fake personalities for Ran was very entertaining! I do wonder if there might be more reasons behind Ran's dislike for Lum, beyond stealing the dude she feel in love with... though that's still fairly good motivation to pursue non-dangerous revenge over.
Seems like we'll be dealing with Lum's planet next time, consid...

FUCK YOUR ECOSYSTEM! I do appreciate seeing our girls defy the "natural order," the "ecosystem" of animal-themed maid cafes, all because they were fed up with their treatment (rightfully so)... so it was very entertaining watching them beat the crap outta the lions & claim victory at the Moe Moe Festival.
Seems like a target's been painted right on Nagomi's back, or even the whole cafe itself, but this might really lean into that "wa...

BUZZ BUZZ! Still can't believe how detailed the magic system is, it's very well thought out, from the basic elements & their superior versions to the combinations known as complex magic, in addition to various other types like dark/light/summoning and more! Moreover, combat techniques and skills are also further expanded upon, which makes just excites the nerd in me... the writing for this show is so damn solid!

THE CRUEL REALITY! Still believe Sherry didn't deserve this... I do hope she'll learn the truth one day, since it does seemingly place all the blame on Shadow, but it might break her to learn the Gaunt Knight's true identity & everything he's done.
