Well, wasn't expecting that to happen to Nami.

STOP HURTING ME LIKE THIS TADA-KUN

My Hero Academia Season 3 Episode 10: All for One is so powerful, it's terrifying. How casually he carries himself, how he can carry on a conversation, and then go on the attack in a instant, it reminds me of Aizen. I was so happy when Midoriya and the others got Bakugou, I screamed out loud. But All Might's time is almost up and I don't think the fight is over yet...

Makoto: "What am I doing?"
Me: "Stalking your future husband of course. "

[mami-kouga]

Darling in the franxx is...weird. on one hand , when I think about the latest plot development makes a lot of sense. On the other it still feels sudden

[mami-kouga]

why are these girls so good

Pitou and M seem to be rubbing off on Llen. And boooo, posting picks of good girls and not adding bludgeoning master Fuka

[Rafflesiac]

It wasn't as fun a screenshot

Where were you when Theo became the Holy Crest Emperor?

This week's episode of Caligula - "Group Therapy Session!"

I loved how they straight up used the menu that comes up when you do the Social Link equivalent in the game. Of course instead of one person per link, we get to do everyone...

Episode 10 Spoilers

Everything about the main characters comes full circle as we learn the full extent of their traumas and why they came to Mobius. Though interestingly Kotone's got cut short, I wonder if that'll be relevant in the fight with Wicked.

Going back to the therapy though, I did like how Kensuke was the one to instigate the discussion to regain trust (coupled with him waving around a conductor's baton). Made his joining the group feel a lot more relevant since his reasons for joining were completely different in the game also since they appear not to be adapting his relationship with Blumon (a salaryman who came to Mobius because of Kensuke's songs) who doesn't even appear in the anime is sad as it developed his character so much. This line in particular...

Was quite impactful and drove home how problems may seem trivial to others but devastating when you have them. Also finally confirmation of several of the character's true ages - Shogo being 30 (though they left out how he's been in Mobius the longest at 10 years) and Kotaro being only 14 which is younger than he appears in Mobius.

Of course we gotta talk about that bombshell at the end, Marie Mizuguchi did indeed turn out to be the final Ostinato Musician "Wicked". Why's all the good girls gotta be evil and/or crazy? T_T

Was anyone really fooled into thinking it was Ritsu? Although interestingly the PS4 remake actually has a new alternate story campaign where that happens and the MC betrays the heroes and becomes a Ostinato Musician instead under the name "Lucid".
Anyways, I do like Marie's outfit and how her tie (even in school uniform) looks like the signboard for "Danger", very clever foreshadowing that.
I loved how the gang were all so dumbfounded at Marie's sudden betrayal that they just stared at the grenade that rolled at their feet.

Only two episodes left and the plot's coming to an explosive climax. Can't wait to see how this all gets resolved. <3

Rewatching this episode of MHA, I'm a lot more attached to Akio Ootsuka's All For One than I was at his first cameo. I love how much fun he's having, very fitting for the character.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Whoever the directors for MHA are love to take the manga and just go plus ultra since I'm pretty sure Bakugo just shot straight up and maybe 30 feet rather than Superman'd a block but fuck if the animation wasn't goddamn exciting

[Rafflesiac]

You could feel the Yutaka in those impact frames when Bakugou achieves liftoff.

[Arashi_Leonhart]

Oh yeah and if people want to meet LLENN and hopefully hear her live sing her song about P90s be sure to come to AX

[Skull]

If Golden Kamuy has taught me anything, it's that in order to be the greatest hunter up in the mountains - whenever you make a decisive wining shot you gotta yell "Boner!" as you do it.

Lt.Tsurumi is still as crazy as ever, one of your soldiers loses an ear - just chop of his other one to make him symmetrical lol.

Oh snap, we're at the Murder Hotel already? Damn, this series has flown by. But only two more episodes left, hope they adapt the rest one day!

[Huitante]

Holy shit a Kamiya Fork, this is great

While I love how Bittenfeld gets more attention, I'm not a fan of his new design

[Skull]

This was a very talking heads episode of LotGH. That Falk dude is in way over his head and I can't wait to see his plans defeated by Reinhard and Yang has to save his butt.
When Julian asked about the sudden hawkish turn of the politicians, Yang's response about it being election time felt super real.
I'm guessing the climax of this season will be the foolhardy battle the Alliance is rushing into after getting drunk on victory.

Another "Lost Episode" of Lupin. This time we're rewinding back to the Red Jacket era where the treasure involves the fantastic and Lupin is horny as all get out for Fujiko. Looking for hidden mafia treasure in Baraguay (yes really) leads to an epic sportscar race and then picking a fight with an entire military - classic Red Jacket era Lupin. I especially like the attention to detail in the character relationships are altered to reflect their era (most obviously Jigen and Fujiko's catty dislike for each other).
But most important was that end which reminds you that "Bros before Fujikos".
