#episode nagi chapter 13

[one-sad-pancake]

I don't think I will ever love a real person the way I love Reo Mikage, he is my baby, my everything, my favorite ever, my life, my light, the clouds in the sky (I hate the sun), the world when fall weather starts setting in, the loml (not romantically), and literally me all at once. The things this boy makes me feel are out of this world and I wish the rest of the world understood, but no one gets him like I do.

Episode Nagi new chapter spoilers below ⬇️⬇️

Anyways this had me feeling things, and I will make a post to talk about it in detail.

GREEN: confirmed; RED: real world events; BLUE: deduced; PURPLE: unknown

July 2, 2018: 2018 FIFA World Cup Belgium v. Japan. The opening line makes a direct reference to the match (Ch 1).

Nov 23, 2018: Team X VS. Team Z; Team V Vs. Team Y. Isagi says that it has been three days since the last chapter (Ch 3). Ego proceeds to tell Team Z that their next match is in two hours (Ch 5). After the first match, he tells Team V that they will go against Team Y in "just a few moments" (Episode Nagi Ch 5).

Team V VS. Team Z marked the end of The First Selection. Our Team Z boys undergo brutal training.

The Second Selection begins on the "tenth day" of training. Early morning, Ego makes his grande announcement. Isagi gets past the Blue Lock man, and teams up with Bachira and Nagi. They go against the Top 3 Team. (Ch 39)

March 13, 2019: ✨Barou Hair Day✨; Aiku said that they put in the highlights on the day before the match. (Ch 210)

March 14, 2019: Bastard Munchen VS. Ubers (Ch 209-

May 23 - Jun 15, 2019: The 2019 U-20 World Cup

Note: Ch 3 of Episode Nagi makes a reference to Squid Game, but other scanlations (Chinese, French) don't mention Squid Game.

Appendix

The order of First Selection Matches:

Team X VS. Team Z

Team V VS. Team Y

Team W Vs. Team X

Team Y Vs. Team Z

Team V Vs. Team W

Team X Vs. Team Y

Team W Vs. Team Z

Team V Vs. Team X

Team W Vs. Team Y

Team V Vs. Team Z

We know matches 1 & 2 happened on the same day and matches 7 & 8 happened on the same day. We can safely assume that most of these matches probably came in pairs with the exception of matches 9 & 10. Apparently our boys got an entire day between these two matches (Ch 23-24) .

TOKI NATION WE ARE GOING TO BE FED !!

btw gonna treat this post like a live tweet thread where i'll be commentating everything with screenshots hopefully!!

omggg pre-episode hype lets start this shit!!

ok so we're already starting off kinda bad with them replacing this amazing character entry with this made-up scene with them in a hallway ALSO THEY TOTALLY SKIPPED THE PART WHERE TOKI WAS LIKE "thank you for making this team feel like a real one" and shit

AND THEY ALSO SKIPPED THESE SCENES!! WAHHH I WAS SO EXCITED TO SEE HIM SWAYING :(

nothing to say just aryu being the best character ever

THEYRE BOYFRIENDS YOUR HONOUR11!1!!1!!

my pathetic little meow meow

SILLY LITTLE UNICELLULAR CREATURE IS BACK!!!

"my ball" omg he spoke engurish!!!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA RRPAH ROAH AORH RURFFURUFFURUFF AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA **** ****** ******** **** AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA anyways :3

WHY IS HE LIKE THIS WHY IS HE SO ":3" LOOK AT THE WAY HE'S SO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAA ok lets keep going

BOYFRIENDS EEEEEEEE ^0^

and we finish off the episode with an additional time that talks about nagi's road to being a highschool dropout.

final opinion: it was good! the animation wasn't as lively or as rambunctious as i expected, considering how many goofy moments there are as seen in the manga, and it feels a bit rushed (also apparently they crammed 5 chapters in this episode??? idk twitter said so), but i still enjoyed the buildup of the match. though, i feel like there's been a steady drop in animation quality starting from ep 13 (am i saying that because they've been doing aoshi dirty? yes. yes very much.) BUTT!!! still a nice watch. solid 7.5/10 :3

[eurydicees]

I WAS JUST ABOUT TO RECOMMEND 'BLUE LOCK' TO YOUUUU!!! IT'S SO GOOD!! PLEASE TALK TO ME ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!

OH MY GOD YES OKAY I AM SOOOOO GLAD TO HEAR YOU ASK ABT THIS BECAUSE I AM LITERALLY INSANE OVER ALL OF IT. I AM UNWELL. I AM NOT ACTING NORMAL ABOUT THIS STORY.

okay anyways now that i've gotten that out of the way. oh my god okay favorite characters lets do this

tbh i am soooo in love with, like, 99% of them. the only character i am actually annoyed by is barou but i also feel like he could grow on me with a few more chapters, yk? oh! just to clarify, i've read up to chp 71!! so some spoilers up until then incoming :) i'm a little insane as i get ready to keep reading. i skipped out on a party to do this LMAO. so favorites! but not in any order because i can't do that!

bachiraaaaa!!! oh my god he is my boy. he is everything to me. just,,, you expect me to read the words "there is a monster inside of me" and expect me to NOT go insane abt it? he plays because it's fun and he's at blue lock to find someone who has the same monster, the same desire and passion, he is SO much and i am obsessed with it. literally the moment he stole the ball from isagi in the tag game they played, i KNEW. he's my type of character fr. rin telling him that "you're searching for someone with your soccer" i'm gonna fucking scream. oh and also he's the sleepy boy representation that i need, so.

^^things i'm not !!! ok !!!!!! about !!!!!

reo.... i just think he has sooooo many issues and they are so so so interesting. like, this is a character who gets everything he wants and then the one thing he really desires is just out of his reach. he is so broken up about nagi, too, and i loooove to see that in my pathetic little men. top ten things that had made me insane so far: reo saying "have you forgotten our promise" in reference to him saying they're going to be the best in the world, followed immediately by nagi saying that he's the one who's forgotten their promise, in reference to reo saying "let's play soccer." i'm literally howling at the moon. screeching at the sun like a bat. i am going crazy over this.

^^^reo you literally have so many problems and i NEED to see you self-destruct

isagi!! tbh idk if i'm really usually a main character person, but i'm a little in love with isagi. he's just. SO interesting. every time he talks about devouring other players' skills and making them his own....i am literally losing my mind. in the game against chigiri, kunigami, and reo, when isagi talks about devouring barou's darkness and turning it into light....catch me literally screaming out loud about him. his growth and "leveling up" is SO much fun to watch/read and i AM dying over it. every time he learns a new weapon or figures out how to better use one, i AM in my bed pumping my fist and screaming go best friend you go best friend!!! i believe the next chp is the game against bachira, rin, aryu, and tokimitsu, and i can already feel myself losing it a little bit.

^^^HELLO?????? I'M NOT OKAY ??????

chigiri! i'm not as insane about him as i am about the others, but i do love him very very much. the "i play for that joy i felt the first time i outran someone" and the "for as long as my legs work i want to play soccer" moments genuinely had me crying no joke. and his whole deal at the very start with "i was looking for a way to give up" versus his growth to wanting to beat isagi and become the best in the world... i am sooo unwell about it. in, like, fifty chapters he's grown SO much and i am so excited to see where he goes from here. and i think the match up between him and aryu is gonna be reeeaaalllyyyy interesting, too!! super excited to see how that pulls through. ahhh. he's just soooo.

^^literally trembling as i read this again

ahhhh. yeah ok extensive list oops. i think those are all the main faves right now !!! i am so broken about them and it has literally been 13 episodes and 70 chapters. that's so fucked up.

the thing is just that this show was, like, TAILOR MADE to all of my interests. it's sooo high stakes and for what. it's my favorite sport in real life. it has characters who need therapy for real. god. yeah.

IDOLiSH7 Episode 13 Analysis

Episode thirteen is here!

They managed to cover two entire chapters in this episode which means, once again, a lot of things got left out.  I think they covered most of the important points but there are some things that probably should have been mentioned as well…

Yamato is probably the last person to say this considering how tightly he holds onto his own secrets and how hard he tries to avoid telling the others anything about himself.

I’ve talked about KENN’s voice acting as Tamaki before but he is so good in this episode, Tamaki sounds like he’s on the verge of tears through this whole scene. 

Mitsuki no that’s not going to help.

They had to throw baby!Sougo at us here, didn’t they, the same way they had the younger twins in episode four with Riku’s flashback :’)

He’s so happy here, and it’s worth noting that in the end he’s the one asking Sougo the most questions about why he wants to stay in music and whether he agreed with his family or not because Tamaki’s not always the most perceptive, but he’s been trying to get through to Sougo for so long that this probably feels like the first time Sougo’s not just throwing up all of his walls instead of opening up a little.  

And yeah, Sougo wasn’t purposely keeping secrets for any real reason other than that he just assumed nobody would want to hear his past…

We get another insight into the media world here with the idea that larger corporations can essentially block certain groups from getting shows by limiting their possible ad revenue, and since IDOLiSH7 doesn’t really have enough of a following to stand on their own yet, it’s actually a big problem since finding ways to fund their own show is going to be a lot more difficult now.

HELP I can’t believe Yamato just flicks him in the forehead but it’s also perfect because that’s exactly the way he would cover up his worry and still try to be reassuring.  

It’s so sweet that they all knew Tamaki still wouldn’t be completely okay and so they came to spend time with him and distract him for the night

This was exactly the break they needed, though, because it might not be their own show but if they’re on a national broadcast regularly, that’s going to get them a lot of views and recognition.  

Tenn’s still the only one of them to be suspicious about the song, but I guess he’s actually been paying attention to IDOLiSH7’s music if he knows their style.

OH MAN.  I’m not going to put spoilers here for the most recent story part that just came out, but let’s just say this statement has never been true and leave it there.

Poor Ryuu has to play the mediator again because otherwise these two would just argue constantly and nothing would get done.

LOOK AT THESE CUTIES; Gaku’s whole demeanour changes when Tsumugi walks in even if he’s not admitting outright that he’s the reason IDOLiSH7 got to perform in MuFes.

Tenn’s still trying to get to the bottom of this but one thing that’s really missing in this scene is Tsumugi’s inner thoughts that we get in the game, especially since her internal response to this is a wonderfully snarky “well, I can’t exactly say that you stole it, can I?” so it loses a bit of her personality.

RYUU IS SUCH A GOOD BOY, I’m glad we get these glimpses into how he honestly wants IDOLiSH7 to succeed and he’s happy that they’re getting more exposure.

Tsumugi also has this inner crisis in the game about how ‘the most desired embrace and second most desired embrace’ are paying attention to her which is really cute, but her stuttering here mostly gets the point across!

In the game they have a few more random people on the street coming up to different members but Iori’s reaction is probably the best so I can see why they kept that one, although telling a guy to mouth off to his boss is not the best advice he could give!

Nagi’s looking very classy here even though the game dialogue talks about this being a ‘semi-nude photoshoot’ and he’s wearing a full suit.  Which I’m not complaining about because he looks fantastic but I’m wondering what the intent of the ad originally was…

He’s so pleased with himself.  The original version of this scene is also extended a bit and somehow leads to Nagi asking if he needs the agency’s permission to strip in Tsumugi’s room which. Nagi. Cool down, son.  

Iori’s playing manager again but the others are so impressed with him regardless.

If I’m remembering right, what he says here is actually a pun about ‘it was worth it to bare myself’ (ie, put in effort) but the kanji used can also mean taking off clothes which is why this is happening and why Mitsuki looks somewhat horrified.  

This is kind of interesting because it gets referenced more and more in later story parts, but Riku’s the kind of person who gives and takes energy from the crowd and can influence how people are feeling just by being himself, but alone in a studio he doesn’t get the chance to do this and his performance suffers as a result.  

I feel blessed because we get to see more of Yamato’s acting.

Momo I’m sorry the subtitles are across your face but nice to see Re:vale again here

She just sidles up to them and continues being the boys’ biggest fan, this girl is great.

OKAY CONFESSION TIME. The first time I read through the story I was just reading the text translations and it took me far too long to realize that this actually was Gaku and not, as he says, just someone who looks like him except ‘not as handsome’ (way to be modest there).  

I really wish they’d kept in the part about Tsumugi asking him where the normal delivery guy was and his reply that it’s his family’s shop because it ties into Sousuke asking if he’s going ‘to that woman’s shop’ from an earlier episode and without him explaining this, there’s really nothing to connect those two plot points.  

She has gained the ability to levitate.

They changed this too because in the game this whole conversation happens on their own live web show and not on Shimooka’s program, but it still works.  

“We keep things dry” might be the least accurate description of how Mezzo actually is.

Poor Mitsuki, he’s just a captured alien after all.

Alright, so I’m guessing next episode will cover the events at Sound Ship and maybe get into the Sousuke/Otoharu drama but since we’ve only got four left to go things are definitely going to happen fast!  As always, thanks for reading!

Harry Potter Blog Post 13

Hi everyone! Episode 6 of The Pensieve Podcast is out! You can listen to it @ https://anchor.fm/alexandras-adventures! It is all about book 6 of the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. We had a great conversation about the Unbreakable Vow, the Malfoy’s, and Bill Weasley. If you haven’t listened to it, make sure to check it out!

Now for this week’s blog post:

Is “Avada Kedavra” a Real Curse?

The killing curse is the worst of the three unforgivable curses; use of any of these against another human brings a life term in Azkaban. Harry is the only known person to survive the killing curse. The curse derives from a phrase in the ancient Middle Eastern language called Aramaic, “abhadda kedhabra”, meaning “disappear like this word.” It was said that this phrase was used by ancient wizards to make illnesses disappear. The phrase is also one likely origin of the magical word abracadabra.

Which of Voldemort’s Cohorts Comes from India?

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, we are introduced to a large snake that stays by Voldemort's side named Nagini. Something interesting that I learned in this chapter is that Nagini actually has a Royal bloodline and an important role in mythology. Naga is sanskrit for snake and Nagi the word for a female. In Buddhism and Hinduism, nagas are a race of semi-divine snakes with great powers. Female nagas are known as nagini. 

What is the Most Important Language for Wizards?

The answer is Latin.  Many spells, charms and curses are simply Latin words. For example, lumos means light, and nox means darkness. Latin is used in other places in the series. Mad Eye Moody was once an auror. In Latin, aurora is another word for light. It makes sense that an auror is a person who fights darkness. Additionally, Hogwarts’ motto is Latin: “Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus,” which means “Never tickle a sleeping dragon.” 

Below are more examples of spells and what they mean in Latin.

Accio: summoning charm -- in Latin, accio means to call or summon

Deletrius: Makes things disappear -- in Latin, deleo means to erase or destroy

Expecto Patronum: Produces a patronus (guardian) -- in Latin, expecto means to throw out and patronus means guardian

Expelliarmus: Disarms an opponent -- in Latin, expello means to drive out or expel and arma means weapon

Imperio: puts the subject under the wizard’s complete control - one of the unforgivable curses -- in Latin, impero means to order or command

Mushishi’s not on this list at all which makes me a little sad but if you’re into really well drawn manga about supernatural fantasy I’d give it a read! It’s mostly episodic and slowly reveals more info about the enigmatic protagonist over the length of the series. It’s really really good.

Death Note - 3

Mod Hina: CLASSIC. This is like one of the first manga that I finished completely. I read it all in middle school too.. My weeb phase...

Don’t talk to me about the Netflix movie.

Doraemon - 1

Dorohedoro - 1

Doukyuusei - 1

Dragonhead - 1

Fairy Tail - 3

Fate series - 1

Franken Fran - 1

Fruits Basket - 1

Mod Hina: Ah. Like Death Note, I also read Fruits Basket in middle school. This is such a nostalgia bomb for me because Fruits Basket was my first manga, iirc.

Fruits Basket actually introduced me to the idea of online scanlation groups too. I couldn’t find the last few volumes in any libraries around me, nor in any bookstores. So I resorted to downloading them online after finding out about the translations.

Fullmetal Alchemist - 1

Mod Hina: Fullmetal Alchemist is one of my all-time favorite manga and I’m very sad that it only got 1 nomination out of all of the nominations.

FMA is very poignant and deals a lot with the consequences and reality of war. It’s very good and it’s very amazing. Please read it if you can.

It’s a longer series and while I did start reading this one in middle school, unlike the others, I took longer to finish reading this. I think I finished sometime in high school.

I think this manga still holds up to the test of time, as well.

If you’re more of an anime person, the anime is really good too! I’d recommend watching the original FMA first, and then FMA:B because of the fact that FMA:B’s beginning is rushed, because it assumes that you’ve either read the manga or watched the original FMA.

The original FMA deviates from the manga canon, which is where FMA:B was made to fix that.

Please appreciate Greedling he is my favorite character of all time.

Fuuka - 2

Gakuen Babysitters - 1

Mod Hina: A good, wholesome manga! I love GSNK too and it’s hilarious.

GIRLS und PANZER - Ribbon no Musha - 1

Golden Kamui - 1

Haikyuu!! - 4

Mod Hina: Another weekly read for me! I love everyone in Haikyuu so much? What a good cast, and what good character development. Even the less significant characters get a chapter or two dedicated to their character arc.

Kasane - 1

Katekyo Hitman Reborn - 1

Mod Hina: As mentioned before... I was a huge KHR fangirl back in the day... My heart still beats for Gokudera... tsundere-ass bomber boy.

Kimi no Na Wa - 1

Kimi to Boku - 1

King Bowling! - 1

Kingdom - 1

Kitchen Princess - 1

Koe no Katachi - 1

Mod Hina: I highly recommend this manga.

Another moment where I’m sad that this didn’t get that many recommendations.

It’s very realistic. Like, you’ll end up hating some characters, but that’s because they’re written to be realistic. There are people who did something wrong, who have character flaws, who know that they’re flawed, and some of them will try to change themselves, while others will disregard it because their life is fine, like in real life.

Overall the story is extremely poignant and touching. The ending is open-ended, which some people might not like, but I really enjoyed this because it’s so well written. It reflects real life, in my opinion.

Kuroshitsuji - 2

Kuzumi-kun, Kuuki Yometemasu ka? - 1

Liar Game - 1

Mod Hina: I started reading this manga years ago. At some point, the group translating it dropped the manga so there was a one year gap before anyone picked it back up, I think.

I need to finish this because I stopped at the gap, but I haven’t read it in years so I’ve forgotten what happened. My plan is to reread the whole thing, but it’s quite long so I don’t know when I’ll get around to that.

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid - 1

Nanbaka - 1

Naruto - 4

Mod Hina: I.. actually own a few volumes of Naruto. Like the Rock Lee vs Gaara fight is in one of the volumes I own.

Nichijou - 2

Nijiiro Days - 1

Nogi Wakaba wa Yuusha de Aru - 1

Noragami - 2

One Punch Man - 4

Mod Hina: I tried reading the original web comic for this a while ago and the art style made me laugh, I’m sorry. I started reading the manga instead.

Orange - 1

Ore Monogatari - 1

Otome Youkai Zakuro - 1

Oyasumi Punpun - 1

Pandora Hearts - 1

Mod Hina: I stopped reading this literally five chapters before it finished. I should read those chapters.

Peach Boy Riverside - 1

Pokemon - 1

Prison School - 1

Mod Hina: Whoever you are, you remind me of my friend who reads this...

The Promised Neverland - 1

Mod Hina: Also on my weekly read list! I really enjoy all the plot twists.

PMMM series - 1

Mod Hina: I was big into PMMM a few years back and I binge read all the related manga.

Railgun - 1

ReLife - 3

Rosario + Vampire II - 1

Rouroni Kenshin - 1

Sailor Moon - 1

Sakamichi no Apollo - 1

Shokugeki no Soma - 5

Mod Hina: Another weekly read for me. I mostly just like the art of food. The plot is kind of weak to me, and I legitimately got mad at the plot armor for one of the main protagonists once, haha.

Shuuen no Shiori - 2

Mod Hina: I’ve read a bit of this! I don’t think a lot of it is translated so I haven’t read beyond that.

Slam Dunk - 1

Soul Eater - 1

Sword Art Online - 1

Taiyou no Ie - 1

Tamen de Gushi - 1

Tenkuu Shinpan - 1

The World God Only Knows - 1

To Love Ru - 1

Tokyo Ghoul - 4

Tomo-chan wa Onnanoko - 1

Tsubasa Chronicles - 1

Tsurezure Children - 2

Uzumaki - 1

Mod Hina: WHO ARE YOU? WE ARE BEST FRIENDS NOW. SORRY ELLIE.

I love Junji Ito a lot? He’s amazing and I’ve read all the works I can find from him that are translated..

Except Gyo. I have this abject rejection of Gyo for some reason.

I absolutely love the beginning of Uzumaki, although the end gets kind of weird for me.

Vanitas no Carte - 2

We Can't Study - 1

Yagate Kimi ni Naru - 1

Yotsuba - 1

Mod Hina: Yotsuba is also really big nostaglia for me. I never “finished” it (aka caught up since it’s still publishing) but I did start reading it in middle school. It’s one of the first manga I read and it really throws me back to my tweenage days.

Timeline of Events in Your Lie in April from Episode 5-13/Chapters 7 to 26

(NOTE: Reposting from the ShigatsuNoKimiNoUso and the anime subreddit.)

Hi, all. Is anybod familiar with the manga/anime series Your Lie in April (aka Shigatsu no Kimi no Uso)? So I've reached a point in my fanfic where things will only partially follow the original story, episode 5/chapters 7 and 8. Then, after episode 13/chapters 24 to 26, that's when my story will completely diverge from the original.

With all this in mind, I'd like a timeline of the story between those points (as in what parts of the year the events take in).

I merely ask as a way of advancing my story, what will happen to Kousei; where will Takeshi, Hiroko, Emi and Nagi be introduced? And where does the "lie" play into this? Just asking, all. Thank you. :)

Nagi Yanagi, Saori Hayami & Nao Toyama to Sing My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Fin Theme Songs

Today on the birthday of one of its two main heroines, Yukino Yukinoshita, the official website for the TV anime adaptation of Wataru Watari's romantic comedy series My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU announced that Nagi Yanagi is set to sing the yet-titled OP theme song for its upcoming third season. And Saori Hayami and Nao Toyama, the voice cats of its two main heroines, are also confirmed to perform the ED song.

   32-year-old singer-songwriter Nagi Yanagi provided the OP theme songs for the previous two seasons: "Yukitoki" for the first and "Harumodoki" for the second.

    Message from Nagi Yanagi:

  "I have a fateful attachment to OreGairu series, which has made me think that my name might be named to meet this series. So I am very happy to be able to work together until 'Fin.' 'Yukitoki' and 'Harumoduki," my songs have been gradually reaching the spring season. Please look forward to seeing how the next song will become!

        28-year-old Saori Hayami and 27-year-old Nao Toyama have been cast as Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama since the first TV anime in 2013 and also sang the two previous ED theme songs together: "Hello Alone" for the first and "Everyday World" for the second.

  Message from Saori Hayami:

  "I am glad that we can sing the ED song for the third season as well. The songs for the first two seasons were linked to the anime story and very emotional, so I am very looking forward to this one, too. Please enjoy this final season along with the song."

        Message from Nao Toyama:

  "'Hello Alone' and 'Everyday World." I feel both songs have grown into something special for us and for you for over the years. And this time, what kind of song can we meet in the third season that will be the final chapter? I want to sing it with all my heart."

    Video message from Hayami and Toyama:

  雪乃の誕生日に合わせて、「俺ガイル完」OP＆ED情報解禁～！OPは、やなぎなぎさん！EDは、雪乃(cv.早見沙織)＆結衣(cv.東山奈央)！嬉しい続投です！Twitter限定の早見さん＆東山さんのコメント動画はコチラ☆#俺ガイル pic.twitter.com/1vpNByPeXN

You guys have absolutely no clue how much jjk season two hurts me. Like jjk has been my comfort anime since I was like 13 (Ik that’s only two years but they were a long two years so shut up)- not by choice might I add - like every time I needed something to ground me I would return to obsessing over jjk. I introduce it to as many friends as I can, my brother and I are watching season 2 together (he is less crazy about it then I am but whatever) and I scream over edits and fanarts and fanfics so often. The only volumes of the manga I actually currently own are 0, 8, and 9. And I got so upset over those I can’t even. Satosugu makes me so deeply sad I don’t know if I can put it into words. And now the anime is here and it is BEAUTIFUL, like I couldn’t have wished for anything better. I love the manga and it’s artstyle but I just don’t think it is the best style to capture the overall vibes of this one happy summer before everything goes to shit. But the anime, oh the anime. Everything about it, the intro the style, the colors, the vibes, the music, the outro, the character interactions, EVERYTHING is perfect and I just can’t do it. Like I can’t even communicate how it makes me feel. Like it makes my heart break in the most pleasant way. Like no joke, it feels like this is what I’m living for right now (this and bllk but I will talk about the new episode nagi chapter later). And I couldn’t be happier, but at the same time I am so so so sad because I know what’s coming. I feel like I grew up with Gojo and seeing the breakup animated, seeing riko die ANIMATED, it’s gonna feel so personal, everything about season two feels so personal to me. And like I think when the hidden inventory arc is over I’m just gonna cry and cry and cry (I’m not sure if I even have the ability to cry from sadness but god dammit I’m gonna cry). This is also how I feel about the manga ending. Like when jjk is over I think a part of me will just be left empty forever, but I’m not ready to think about that yet. So yeah, great season so far.
