Ditjenpas Susun Policy Brief Pelibatan Pokmas Lipas dan Griya Abhipraya dalam Disengagement Klien Terorisme

Jakarta - Direktorat Jenderal Pemasyarakatan (Ditjenpas) berkolaborasi dengan Search for Common Ground Indonesia menggelar diskusi untuk merumuskan ringkasan kebijakan (policy brief) "Pelibatan Kelompok Masyarakat Peduli Pemasyarakatan (Pokmas Lipas) dalam Program Disengagement bagi Mantan Narapidana Ekstremisme Kekerasan" di Hotel Grand Sahid Jaya, Jakarta, Rabu (3/7). Disengagement merupakan konsep yang dimaknai sebagai proses yang dilalui oleh anggota kelompok terorisme, gerakan radikal, gang atau kultus tertentu hingga akhirnya mereka memilih untuk tidak berpartisipasi dalam penggunaan tindak kekerasan.

Dalam kesempatan tersebut, Kepala Kelompok Kerja (Kapokja) Bidang Pelibatan Masyarakat dalam Upaya Reintegrasi, Atiek Meikhurniawati, memaparkan konsep Griya Abhipraya yang menjadi wadah kolaborasi antara pemerintah daerah (pemda), Pokmas Lipas, pihak swasta, serta Balai Pemasyarakatan untuk program pembimbingan Klien Pemasyarakatan. "Tujuan Griya Abhipraya bukan hanya menyediakan tempat pemberdayaan bagi Klien, tetapi juga meningkatkan keterlibatan masyarakat, pemerintah daerah, serta stakeholder lainnya untuk memberikan intervensi melalui program berkelanjutan," jelas Atiek.

Pihaknya menyebut bahwa pada tahun 2023, data Pokmas Lipas berjumlah 300 mitra kerja sama. Sedangkan jumlah pemda atau stakeholder lainnya yang telah tergabung dalam program Griya Abhipraya sebanyak 140 lembaga/instansi. Jumlah tersebut diharapkan dapat bertambah tahun ini, termasuk program pembimbingan khusus melalui disengagement bagi Klien Pemasyarakatan tindak pidana terorisme.

Secara umum, diskusi perumusan ringkasan kebijakan ini akan terbagi menjadi tiga sesi. Setiap sesi diskusi diakhiri dengan tanya jawab untuk menyamakan perspektif sehingga terdapat kesepahaman untuk memudahkan pelaksanaan program.

Diskusi sesi pertama bertema "Praktik Baik dan Tantangan Disengagement di Indonesia" yang dimoderatori oleh Kapokja Hubungan Masyarakat Ditjenpas, Dedy Eduar Eka Saputra. Selain Atiek Meikhurniawati, narasumber dari sesi diskusi pertama ini adalah Rika Aprianti selaku Kepala Balai Pemasuarakatan (Bapas) Surabaya dan Suprianto dari Tim Griya Abhipraya Bapas Malang.

Selanjutnya, diskusi sesi kedua bertajuk "Ringkasan Kebijakan terkait Upaya Berbasis Komunitas dalam Mendukung Disengagement: Pelibatan Bapas dan Pokmas Lipas, dan Pengenalan Griya Abhipraya sebagai Pusat Praktik Disengagement" yang diisi oleh Iwa Maulana selaku peneliti dari Center for Detention Studies. Pada sesi ini, narasumber menekankan pentingnya pendekatan psikososial dalam bentuk program dukungan yang disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan klien. Pendekatan ini penting untuk memastikan keberhasilan program dukungan disengagement dan mendorong reintegrasi dan rehabilitasi yang berkelanjutan.

Sesi terakhir dimoderatori oleh Anis Hamim dari Search for Common Ground Indonesia, di mana para peserta merumuskan kesimpulan dan rencana aksi bersama dari seluruh pemangku kepentingan. Adapun peserta diskusi berasal dari perwakilan Ditjenpas, Badan Nasional Penanggulangan Terorisme, Bapas Malang, Bapas Surabaya, serta perwakilan Pokmas Lipas, mitra pembangunan termasuk USAID dan MSI Harmoni, serta organisasi masyarakat sipil yang aktif dalam P/CVE termasuk AIDA, PAKAR, Infid, YPP, CSRC, dan yang tergabung dalam WGWC.

13 and 15 :) ♡

13- list 5 OTPs from past fandoms

Jasico (Jason Grace x Nico di Angelo) from the Riordanverse. I still like the books even if I'm not up to date, but the fandom is pure garbage so I quit that part xD

Percabeth (Percy Jackson x Annabeth Chase), also from the Riordanverse. I couldn't not mention them

Cherik (Charles Xavier x Magneto) from X-Men. I've only seen the movies and was never involved with the fandom but I used to know all their scenes by heart

Oh there's all the KNB ones, I used to multiship like crazy. To this day I think it's the fandom I read the most fanfics for, maybe with HQ!! and EDEN. So the ones I have to mention here: Aida Riko x Hyuuga Junpei x Kiyoshi Teppei bro my first ot3 and the only of my KNB ships I never read a fic about I loved them so much and I'm sure if I rewatch it'd be the same

The different combinations of Kuroko Tetsuya x Kise Ryouta x Aomine Daiki x Kagami Taiga, also from KNB. Funnily enough, I don't like the 4 of them together, but the different match-ups of these 4 were all I was about haha! The time I awakened my multishipper soul..

15- Opinion on OC kids

They're not really my thing.

Pregnancy grosses me out majorly so I can't let my favs who haven't been through it in canon go through it in my head, you feel? I love omegaverse but really not for that aspect xD Adoption's better for that, to me, but still lol

The thing is, what I tend to like the most is the "pre-relationship" part, if that makes sense? Like, the pining, and how they got together, if at all. I don't often write or read about established relationships - let alone ones where's it's so established they have kids.

Also, like, when I want my OTPs who don't have kids in canon to be sort of parental figures, I just make them older siblings or parental figures of kids/younger characters that already exist in canon. For example in Tenkuu Shinpan, i have Yamajuoka as the big brothers of Haruka. Or also Rika as the big bro of Floor 9, or the other Guardian Angels as her stand-in parents. In Tokyo Ghoul, the Clowns toward Souta and Shikorae, esp Roma and Donato (not as a ship) as parents, the other as annoying big siblings.

This ended up longer than I thought rip I think the conclusion is that I'm all about found family and (somewhat) canonverse!

[joshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh]

What I’m Watching - Summer 2021

Who do I make these posts for anyway. The answer is myself.

Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon S - I love this show lol, not much to add. It’s been a long long wait but I’m expecting good things.

Shiroi Suna no Aquatope - The moment this was announced I was into it based off of key visual and cast and all the PVs and such have only got me more excited. Plus I admin the Discord server and that place has some history already. But yeah should be fun. Tbh anything with Rikako Aida in a leading role is a guaranteed watch from me.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu - Watched Gou as it was airing as my first exposure, fell in love with it, backlogged the rest of the anime, it was fucking fantastic, and now we see the continuation of that Rika and Satoko arc I was so endlessly engaged with. Very hype.

Magia Record Season 2 - Madoka’s my favourite piece of literature and just the idea of having more animated Madoka stories is so appealing to me - my recent rewatch of s1 really cemented that I do greatly enjoy Magireco in spite of its flaws and I’m very excited to get more of it.

Love Live! Superstar!! - Love Live is kinda just my favourite thing I don’t know what you expect me to say here lol. Please be good, please Chisato don’t get cucked, that’s basically all my requests.

Assault Lily: Fruits - Completionist mentality + shorts go hand in hand.

Jahy-sama wa Kujikenai! - Would say those first 6 are guaranteed finishes but it’s only maybes from here on out. Jahy’s cute, the rest of the cast are cute, this seems the most like it’d be a normal-ish cute girl anime of the bunch and I need those in my life or I’ll die. Cast is solid. 2 cours weirdly. If I’m not into it I’ll drop.

Sonny Boy - Tbh wouldn’t have checked this out at all if not for that early release. But it seems interesting. Based on how ep 1 ended and some of the names for other characters revealed we’re going beyond the school setting really quickly so hopefully my worries that it’ll be dummy Lord of the Flies are unfounded. Idk though this just reminds me so much of that and I like hate that book out of principle so worried for this. But I mean if it bores me I’ll drop it so.

And that’s it! 8 anime. 1 of them is a short. I might drop 2 of them. For the past 3 seasons I’ve tried over 20 shows, and most seasons before that I was still upwards of 12, closer to 15 or so. But no, I meant it when I said I’d be cutting down. So tired of making zero progress in my backlog because oops like 3 different shows come out every day of the week. Hoping with this schedule I’ll be able to watch more shows I’m actually interested in.

[thiefs-vow]

The name of my blog

Written adaptations of FE games! They exist! And whilst many, many people have heard of the Oosawa manga, that’s far from the only adaptation of FE4. There’s the Nats manga, a comedic romp through gen 1 that conveniently ends just before Belhalla. There’s the Fuyuki manga, which I have not read but apparently it’s focused on gen 2. There’s the 4-komas… they’re 4-komas… 

Then there’s the Suzuki novelisation, a very canon-compliant retelling of the entire game with a surprising amount of love for the game mechanics. 

Now, there’s one very important game mechanic that any FE4 lover knows about: inheritance. The passing down of items from mother to daughter, father to son (unless you’re Brigid or Ethlyn). Radical. But in reality, how would that even work? Sigurd’s still holding on to his silver sword, right to the bitter end at Belhalla. But baby Seliph rode off 2 castles ago. How would the sword get from here to there? Did Arvis send it in the mail? Unlikely. 

This is where the Suzuki short stories come in. My interest today lies in the 6th chapter of the first collection: A Thief’s Vow. I recommend giving it a read, but here’s a short summary regardless: 

3 years after the battle of Belhalla, Dew visits Edain at the abbey in Tirnanog. They’re glad to see each other are safe, but Edain has taken a vow to never speak to an outsider, so their reunion is short. As he can no longer help Edain, Dew takes it upon himself to help her children, and the children of others. He spends the next 2 years recovering weapons and returning them to the gen 2 characters. He later dies whilst trying to recover Balmung from the Yied Shrine. 

I like this story, and it’s one of the main basis for my interpretation of Dew. My Dew hasn’t gotten as far as gen 2, but it’s been a few years since Belhalla. He’s spent his time mourning, he’s built up his connections in Jugdral, he’s found the survivors and returned what he could… and he survived the Yied Shrine. 

He’s still trying to keep up his playful demeanour, but he’s grown a lot from that childish thief locked up in Marpha. 

Anyway, read the Suzuki novelisations if you haven’t already (especially gen 1) 

As for the other short stories: 

The Last of the Earth Dragon Tribe: Forsetti’s perspective on the miracle of Darna. Interesting stuff.

The Spirit Forest: Deidre’s childhood. A bit depressing.

General Aida: It’s about Aida. A personal favourite, but you can tell it was written pre-Thracia.

The Three Witches: Macbeth but it’s a dream the characters involved don’t remember. Good to know there are creatures in the FE universe that exist outside space and time.

Their Sealed Pasts: About Arvis and Deirdre’s relationship between their first meeting and the birth of their twins. Rika Suzuki draws Arvis very prettily, but the story itself is pretty squicky. (specifically in regards to Aida, this also has pre-Thracia vibes) 

A Thief’s Vow: You are here! 

The Killing Blow: After Belhalla, Brigid was put under house arrest by her previously unmentioned brother: Jale (fitting, because I want him to go to jail!). The biggest pre-Thracia vibes of them all. 

The Phantom Horse: The ghost of Sigurd’s horse inspires a member of Sigurd’s army to join Seliph’s army. All things considered, pretty uplifting in the end. 

My Child, Loptous: Julius slowly gets possessed. Fun if you’re interested in such things. 

Vampire: Loptyr!Julius had a lover called Camilla to who he fed his blood. She then becomes immortal, kills a man, and marries for wealth. Also gives the information that even generations later, Eldigan’s descendants always keep the same hairstyle. It’s very out there, but it’s a personal favourite. 

The Forested Land of the Lake: Jamke’s son Lester goes to sort out Verdane, a country that’s fallen to ruin. Genuinely, this is the story I recommend the most.

The Fruits Basket Shipping Game!!

Hey everybody, Mod Anna here. We’ve come up with a shipping game that we hope will be fun and help generate some much needed Fruits Basket content. We can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!  1. Choose the list that best suits your needs: Fruits Basket Another, Fruits Basket, Fruits Basket (Minors), Fruits Basket (Adults), or Whole Cast. 2. Plug the list into Random.org - https://www.random.org/lists/ 3. The first two names are your pairing! For example, if the first two names on the list are Arisa Uotani and Rin Sohma, your pairing is Arisa Uotani x Rin Sohma. If you’d prefer to write about a poly relationship, feel free to take as many names off the top as you want.  4. Create something! Anything from a 100 word drabble or a doodle to a multi-chapter fic or a comic is welcome. Icons, fan mixes, anything goes - see where your inspiration takes you.  5. Submit your creation to lgbtfurubanet.tumblr.com, and tag it with fruits basket shipping game. Notes & Lists below the cut! 

Note #1: If you hate the pairing that was randomly selected for you, you can re-roll. This is supposed to encourage people to have fun and try new things, not force them to create something that makes them uncomfortable. Note #2: When submitting your work, please tag appropriately for common triggers, and put potentially upsetting content under a cut. Note #3: Our focus is LGBTQ+ content. While you’re free to use these lists for your own purposes, anything submitted to us should fall under that category. F/M pairings are fine, but characters should not be depicted as straight, cis people. Note #4: If you just want to write about a character interaction with no romantic overtones, that's totally fine too! Just make sure to label accordingly when you post your creative work.

Thoughts on Fruits Basket 2019 Ep1: “See You After School”

The first episode of Fruits Basket 2019 Season 1 has finally dropped, so now I can finally start making posts about it. I’m almost certainly gonna talk about every single episode of this, since I have a lot to say. I’m also gonna use this as a chance to talk about the manga and the original anime in addition to this reboot, so I’m not gonna hold back on spoilers.

Anyway, I’m gonna put the rest under a cut. [TL;DR: It’s absolutely great, but if you’re really attached to the specific brand of zany comedy hijinks that the original anime had, you might be put off by the more subdued tone of this reboot]

I have no idea where to even start with this since there’s so much to say, but right off the bat, this already feels like a near-perfect adaptation of the manga. I’m already liking it a lot more than the original anime [which I saw for the first time a few weeks ago in preparation for this].

One of the things I was most worried about ever since they first announced this reboot was how they were going to handle the pacing, since the manga’s 23 volumes long, and thankfully they seem to be doing a great job thus far. As we knew from the theater pre-screenings a few weeks ago, this first episode covers chapter one of the manga, and the second episode will cover chapters two and three. At that sort of a pace, I think it’d work really well if they split this into three 24-ish episode seasons, but we’ll see how it goes.

We at least know that there’s going to be multiple seasons, and it looks like season 1 will be split into six BD/DVD volumes, with the first two currently being listed as containing four episodes each, so this first season should be at least 24 episodes. I’ve seen some rumors lately that season 1 will be 26 episodes, but we haven’t gotten an official number yet.

It also sounds like this reboot has a healthy production schedule, with them already having a fair amount of episodes pre-produced. Which makes sense, since the promo material we’ve gotten has a lot of animation and voiced lines from what’ll probably be the first twelve or so episodes. The animation studio behind this reboot has a lot of history doing long-running/multi-season anime, so it sounds like they know what they’re doing.

Anyway, onto the episode itself, it’s really interesting to compare this to the first episode of the original anime, since they cover basically the exact same material, but they’re handled really differently, in a way that really reflects how they’re from two very different eras of the industry.

I’ve been thinking for a while now that one of the most divisive aspects of the reboot is actually just going to be the differences in tone and atmosphere between this and the original. The original anime ignored a lot of the story’s nuance and the set-up for future drama and plot points, and filtered what was left through the director’s personal style of wacky comedy hijinks. The reboot still has comedy in it [more than I expected it to, actually], but it’s handled in a more subdued way that both matches the manga’s tone a bit more, and feels more like something that would actually air in 2019. Going by the reactions I’ve seen to this first episode, I really think that there’ll be a bit of a schism between people that are really attached to the specific brand of comedy that the original had, and people that thought it was obnoxious and didn’t fit the series at all. People will probably get used to the character design changes and stuff quickly enough, but the reboot is going to just get more and more heavy and dramatic as it goes on, so I think that might become a deal-breaker for people who really liked the original and don’t like the more subdued/heavy tone that this is gonna have.

The reboot is clearly leaning more into subtle comedy, with lots of scenes where the joke is about stuff that characters are saying in the background to each other when they’re not the main focus point of the shot. There’s also lots of moments where there’s hand-written notes on the screen like there were in the manga, which add their own bits of background comedy. It’s fun and silly in it’s own way, but already notably different from the comedy in the original anime.

Personally I thought that Akitaro Daichi’s brand of comedy didn’t work well in the original anime at all, and I’m glad that it’s gone. At least just going by this first episode, I’m glad that the reboot didn’t try to do anything like the whole Yuki fan club dance sequence thing from the original. I’m actually a little surprised at how the reboot handled that whole scene, though. In a good way. I hadn’t put much thought into it, but it makes a lot of sense that they’d change it a bit so that Motoko’s actually there from the start. When I was rereading the manga a while ago, I thought it was kinda weird how she doesn’t actually show up for a while, even though she then becomes the only important character in that club. So it just makes sense for the reboot to include her from the start. I’m also really surprised that they’re having Rika Aida apparently be a regular part of the club from the start as well, since in the manga she only shows up in one chapter in volume 8. But either way, I liked the little changes and additions they made to that scene to make it more consistent with the rest of the story.

I thought I heard people say on twitter after the theater screenings that the reboot didn’t have the part where Hana threatens the Yuki fan club and the screen goes all static-y, but that scene’s actually pretty much exactly the same. And I still like it just as much as I always have, lol.

Having Yuki be in the cooking class along with Tohru and her friends was a nice little addition that helped make their whole conversation about him a bit more natural than it was in both the manga and the original anime.

In general there’s a whole lot of parts in this episode where they really flesh out the material in both minor and major ways, that overall make it feel much more consistent with the story as a whole.

The biggest example of that is the scene at the very start of the episode that shows off God and the original banquet without really going into detail about what’s going on with it. It’s one thing that the reboot’s, like, introducing some side characters a bit earlier than they were in the manga, but that whole intro part was taken directly from the end of volume 22 of the manga, so that’s a pretty big change. I really liked it, though. Some people might think it’s too much of a spoiler, but I think it worked really well. They didn’t really explain what was going on so it mostly just served as a teaser for what was to come. It also makes it clear right off the bat that the story is going to have supernatural elements in it, and that there’s at least some kind of grander story/world-building going on, which I think does a good job at letting new viewers know that this isn’t gonna just be a silly rom-com.

I also really liked how they fleshed out all of the flashbacks and made them feel more like actual scenes and not just vague slideshows of Tohru’s memories. For the most part it’s all lifted straight from the manga, but there’s some really neat little additions like the red butterfly wind chime in Tohru’s old apartment, and the shot of Tohru as a kid doing taxes. And as a lot of people have also talked about, the shot of Kyoko’s blood pooling into a street gutter was way more heavy than how either the manga or the original anime handled that whole part. It’s a good example of the sort of heavy moment that might put off some people that liked the original anime’s comedy, but I liked it a lot. Tohru’s grief and trauma over her mother’s death is a really major plot point that gets explored and fleshed out across the entire series, and is pretty much the core of her character development in the long run, so it works really well to have a lot of emphasis on how big of a deal this all is to Tohru.

And, of course, there’s the hat. I already know that episode two is also gonna have a small original scene involving it, but I’ll talk about that next week when episode two actually comes out. Just in terms of this episode, it was mostly just in the background, but I liked how they handled it. Having it be right next to Tohru’s picture of Kyoko in her tent was a really nice way of subtly putting it there for people to see without drawing attention to it specifically, and I liked how it actually looked kinda old and worn down. We also got to see the flashback to her first getting it as a kid, which was neat. I liked how they shadowed out Yuki’s face so that we don’t know exactly who gave it to her.

I understand why the original anime completely cut out the hat and everything to do with it, since the manga hadn’t even gotten to the point where we really find out what the deal with it is, but it’s one of the little details in the story that makes it clear early on that there’s gonna be some overarching mysteries and plot points that’ll slowly get explored. It makes the story feel like it has more going on with it behind the scenes, and the original anime felt a bit more flat and shallow because it ignored those parts.

One of the few things that I actually wish the reboot could have ignored was the whole plot point of the zodiac members being able to communicate with their respective animals. It’s really not a big deal one way or another, but this is like the only part of the story where it’s actually relevant at all, aside from maybe like one scene with Kureno waaaaay later on. It’s one of those things that basically just gets immediately abandoned in the manga, so I think it could have just been cut out and nobody would have noticed, but oh well.

This isn’t necessarily a complaint, but I feel like this is the sorta thing where you need to watch at least two or three episodes to really get a feel for what it’s actually about. This episode spends so much time on introducing the main characters that it ends right when the whole zodiac thing first comes into play, and the actual explanation of the curse won’t happen until the next episode. But this is an issue that I also have with the manga, so it’s not really the reboot’s fault. It’s a really minor nit-pick, but I think that new fans might be kinda confused about what the actual story and focus of this is going to be in the long run. Though this is one of the reasons why I really liked how they added in the banquet scene at the very start of the episode. It helps tease at the supernatural elements of the story right off the bat, so the scene at the end doesn’t come completely out of left field.

On top of the whole issue of the tonal differences between this and the original anime, I also really love the art and cinematography in this reboot, way more than in the original. The direction here feels way more cinematic and dynamic than the original anime ever did. I remember reading that the production staff used 360-degree cameras in different places to get detailed reference material for doing the backgrounds and scenery in this reboot, and you can really see that in how spacious and 3D it all feels. A lot of people have pointed out how the shot of Shigure and Yuki walking up the stairs in their house felt really interesting, but I also liked the scene of Tohru running down the stairs at school before walking home with Yuki. It all just comes together to make the reboot feel really detailed and down to earth, with environments that actually feel like lived-in, three-dimensional spaces.

I also think the character designs in this are really nice. It’s still gonna take me a bit of time to get used to them, since they’re intentionally different to how they were in the manga, but they look really nice. There’s a lot of die-hard fans of the original anime’s character designs, but I’m one of the people who thought they looked kinda awful for the most part. One of the things that really struck me about the reboot was how bright and warm the colour palette is, especially compared to the original anime, which felt kinda dull and muddy. The reboot’s just really soft and pleasant to look at, but not to the point where it detracts from the serious parts.

I was actually kinda surprised at how much of the visual comedy and silliness they captured. It never feels particularly jarring, but it still feels pretty light and fun. In particular I really liked some of the cuts where the characters had really thick outlines.

The animation staff are also clearly putting a lot of attention into animating the animal forms, and they look great thus far. I’m almost sad that after a while we basically never see anyone transform anymore, since they already look so fun and dynamic. Especially in the ED theme, but I’ll talk about that in a bit.

Even with the obviously intentional differences in style from the manga, I love how recognizable everyone is, and how they all just have the same core spirit that they’ve always had, if that makes sense. Although I do really like that Yuki in particular feels quite a bit different to how he came across in both the manga and the original anime. It’s kinda hard to explain why, though. A big part of it is that his new JP voice is just really nice, but that’s also part of the broader topic of how it comes across like the reboot isn’t trying quite as hard to make him ‘cool and mysterious’, and they’re also not trying quite as hard to make him seem feminine. He basically just comes across as a cool, suave pretty-boy in the reboot, which works really well. The original anime in particular made him unintentionally creepy and weird with how it portrayed him, though it also didn’t help that I really don’t like Eric Vale’s weird raspy voice for him.

I actually think it’s kinda interesting that they’re leaning heavily into him just being a suave pretty-boy who doesn’t come across as being particularly feminine. There’s not much to go off of, but it feels like they’re tweaking that aspect of him a bit, especially with the drastic change between his JP voice actors. Mostly I think it’s interesting because, especially after my reread of the manga, I think the whole running gag with Yuki being feminine really hasn’t aged well at all, and I think the reboot would probably be better off by just focusing on portraying him as a cool, princely pretty-boy. I at least think that it’d seem even more jarring in the reboot if it tried to pull the same jokes that were built upon the idea that he looks/sounds like a girl, since in the JP dub especially they don’t seem to be trying to make him sound like a girl at all.

I think that’s about all there is to say about this episode specifically, and this post is going on long enough as it is, but I wanna talk a bit about the OP and ED. Or, well, just the ED, since this episode didn’t actually have the OP in it. I assume they’ll just use it in the next episode onward. But anyway, the ED was amazing. It’s incredibly laid-back and chill but also poignant in a way that really fits the series’ tone. I was kinda surprised at how Yuki-focused it felt, though. It’s not quite what I expected, but it’s nice. I really liked the shot of him looking out the window as a kid while the other zodiac members are walking by and having fun without him. The split-second detail of Ayame turning to look at him before Shigure and Hatori pull him away was fantastic.

I also really liked the shots involving everyone’s animal forms. It really shows off how nice the animation for them is. It’s all super playful and energetic and dynamic. Especially the bit with Ayame trying to chase after Yuki and tying himself up in a knot, lol.

I was also kinda surprised to see Kisa and Hiro in this at all, since I don’t think either of them will show up until the second half of this season, by which point there’d probably be a new set of OP/ED themes, unless they plan on using these ones for the whole first season. I really like what little we saw of their designs, though. I love how fluffy Hiro’s sheep form looks in it.

Anyway, that’s that. Now I have to deal with waiting for the next episode to come out, lmao. I’ll probably end up rewatching this episode with the English dub, but I don’t wanna get a Funi subscription just for that, so I don’t know exactly when I’ll end up watching it.
