Ok so abt creation in aninimate insanity

In inanimate insanity, there seems to be a repeating concept of creation: The creation of Mephone from Cobs, the creation of Bot from Test Tube, the creation of Test Tube from Mephone. But are we all forgetting the ultimate creator? Adam Katz is a real character in the show, that was called in episode 1 of season two by Mephone to explain Toilet's presence. Does anyone else think Adam is going to tie into the show in any way? That in universe, Adam created the show and characters?

Season 3 episode 15, oh my heart when Eddie is down in the well, Nash tells Chimney to go down. Buck volunteers to go down. And when the well collapses and Buck looks like his heart has been ripped out. Then Eddie gets himself out, Buck along with everyone else look so happy. Side look Buck looked at Eddie in awe that he survived. But yes I realize it was Eddie’s love for his son that helped him escape the well. I was sobbing. What’s wrong with me?

Also Buck you should have gone with Eddie in episode 16. The turmoil Buck goes through thinking the 118 may end up like Red’s squad. He never felt enough or party of his family. He has a home with the 118. He feels so much and wears it all on his sleeve. I think that’s what Eddie likes about him. He has heart and courage.

Curious add-ons: The Continuity, et al., for the Shibuya arc: Eps 14, 15 & 16

If I were the famous Scramble Crossing of Shibuya, I might scream first from a huge number of people crossing my streets and lastly, the mangaka’s choice of using it as a crime scene. It is also a coincidence that Junya Enoki’s characters have become part of it. First as Yuji Itadori from Jujutsu Kaisen then on RKDD as Toto Isshiki. No wonder Youhei Azakami and Enojun talked about Shibuya in their recent after-show talk.

Azakami: A lot of things happen in Shibuya.

Enojun: It seems that there are quite a few places where bad spirits gather around open objects. It's something like feng shui or anything like that.

Azakami: Shibuya is a relatively power spot, but from what I've heard, Shibuya is a bit lower compared to other cities (like Shinjuku).

The two rambled on the cities around Tokyo that contain more bad spirits and were relieved that only fictional stories happen around Shibuya. Enojun: “It only happens in fiction.” (I recommend listening to it bc of the duo’s goofiness. At the end of the radio show Enojun received his early birthday cake and greetings from Azakami-kun and the Kadokawa staff as it’d be his birthday last October 19th.)

I didn’t do the usual analysis per episode as it didn’t feel like it called for it. The animators stayed true with the manga most of the time.

The arc covered from Chapters 22 to 27 of the manga. Now that we have an idea how they divided them into into episodes, it highlighted the importance of Winter Moriarty in the upcoming episodes, who Enojun complimented as a "cute and amazing character."

So far the anime crew added a continuity intro for Ron on the 14th episode to refresh our memories highlighting the last scenes of the 13th ep from the first season. After Toto and Spitz have left Ron alone, he began to recollect what happened. We, the audience, in turn, had a good look at Ron’s apartment. Those vials in one of the shelves, could they be some fragrance oil??? Samples of blood? Then there are gemstones like the huge amethyst and the ammonite fossil that caught my eye. They have given us a glimpse of Ron’s own version of “cabinet of curiosities.” Like a true descendant of Sherlock Holmes, collecting things, which may or may not be useful in his profession-vocation, has also become a trait.

Retitling this as “Shibuya Apocalypse Serial Murder Case” instead of “The Case of Shibuya Revelation Serial Murder,” AA’s use of the Bible verse with the numbers 96 was well thought out just like the first time I read it. All those 96 references (the periodic table element iridium, Bach’s Miracle symphony) came into play.

It was almost one to one rendition except for scenes like the manga panel for Chapter 22 where they showed Toto’s “tired of all your shit” face.

Anime crew added Toto’s reaction to Ron’s blatant lying and Amamiya falling for it.

I don’t know how many times the anime crew has given us so many shots of Ron’s Sinatra blue eyes that tend to be so hypnotic. I would say, his scar too as anime Toto’s reaction to it comes stronger than in the manga. The way he bumbles when Ron has caught him looking at it is so cute.

What’s up with Deltard Hotel though? Or was it a typo error from Crunchyroll ?

Winter flipping their hair !!!! (The anime crew knows the fans’ Winter thirst! )

In order not to establish Winter’s “gender identity” this early on the anime crew successfully used words to mar it. Instead of designating Winter as a “male” like what AA did at first in the manga, Wataru Watari utilised the gender not specific/-neutral wording “agent” in describing Winter. Making a good spin on Spitz’s assumption that “Winter” could probably be a code name.

And once again the anime crew has added these scenes, before saying farewell to the Shibuya arc onto the next, we find Ron on his chair contemplating again of the events that happened in the last few days. Finally, struggling, trying to put the puzzles in their corresponding places before making his final conclusion of what Winter, the “agent,” meant for his own case. Parallelism it is. We started with this arc finding Ron on his chair ruminating, Episode 14, in order of importance: Ron’s chair/a bird’s eye view of the living room, his neck scar, his blue eyes.

And the scenes at the end of Episode 16.

Riz: got it. We don't have to talk about sex anymore, dad.

Pok: if you have any questions --

Riz: I actively don't want to talk about it.

Pok: the last time I was able to talk to you, you were nine years old. You've grown up a lot, kiddo. I really miss you.

Riz: I missed you too, dad.

Pok: this is ok to talk, for a father and a son. I missed all of puberty, maybe not all, but I missed a lot of it.

Riz: yea, I don't know, I just don't. It just isn't happenin' yet. Like not even just the act is not happening yet. Like me wanting to do it ... Is not happening yet. And my friends are all like super horny.

Pok: yea, that checks out. Well, kiddo, if it never happens that's also okay. There's a lot to life to enjoy, and I already know that you matter a lot to your friends and a lot to your family so if you never end up having those desires, that's completely okay bud.

Ally: ah, you're killing me in this episode

Pok: but if you, it's also okay if it doesn't happen for years, you know? That's also fine. You're your own person, it's gonna happen on your own time or not, and either way is a-okay bud. I won't lie, I know that me and your mom would love to see some grandkids, but that has nothing to do with procreation. That can happen a lot of other ways. Would love to have that Gukgak name continue. Gotta have another little young one scrambling around for blocks under the sofa.
