it is pretty weird being over 30 episodes into a series and still having barely any idea of what's going on
#we r like 6 episodes into higurashi kai?#and even with all of the exposition we are still like.#so whats up with the aliens.#and the ppl who kill rika bc that got scaled way up#like in the first season theyre heavily implied to be some sort of large organization orchestrating most if not all of the deaths and#disappearances. but in shions loop its made to sound like the sonozaki family isnt in control of or in direct relation to this organization#but most of the explanations so far have been the main three families being the ones pulling the strings.#but from what we are seeing it seems more like a separate organization just taking advantage of the social structure of hinamizawa?#like when satoko was in a hospital outside of hinamizawa she was still able to be killed easily#and with the abduction of the grandkid from tokyo#so like. idk. it just doesnt really feel confined to hinamizawa#it feels more like hinamizawa's whole thing is being taken advantage of by some much larger organization for the sake of like#developing biological weapons or smth#it just feels kind of weird how theres a crime explanation (organization killing people) scifi explantion (aliens and parasites) and#supernatura explantion (demons)#but we as the viewer already know for sure at least some of the supernatural stuff is true bc of rika#and the time loop#so honestly we are thinking that all three explanations are at least partially true#and they all are just converging on this small town 😭#it feels kind of like each character is more closely related to a certain “ending” or “explanation”#like rena with the parasites and aliens vs rika being reincarnated in the time loop vs satoko being persectuted#idk. it just is weird being pretty decently far into a series and still not having certainith about whats going on 😭#confluence.txt#higu our beloathed

MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ANIME
In honor of two years of Anime Updates, I’ve reconstructed my now Top 30 favorite anime series’ of all time, and I also have a slew of honorable mentions for anime I also really enjoy and value dearly.
1. Dragon Ball Z Kai (The definitive distillation of everything that was great about the DBZ manga and all that’s great about DBZ in anime.)
2. Digimon Adventure (1999) (An absolute classic of children’s anime that has enough depth and maturity to appeal to its fans years later)
3. Pokemon: The Beginning (It may be cliché to say something in Pokemon was at its best in Gen 1 but...the anime absolutely was.)
4. Neon Genesis Evangelion (Some anime ascend even masterpiece status and become bonafide legends. This is one of the best ones.)
5. Cowboy Bebop (See what I just said above. It applies here too.)
6. Yu Yu Hakusho (Not only a Shonen masterwork, but one where the anime is actually an improvement upon the original manga!)
7. Assassination Classroom (Basically the Yu Yu Hakusho of the 2010s, and bar none director Seiji Kishi’s most astonishing work.)
8. Yu-Gi-Oh! / Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters (While the latter faltered more compared to the former, both have undeniable merits.)
9. Sailor Moon / Sailor Moon R (Again, see what I just said above.)
10. The Slayers / Slayers NEXT (This may not have really gone anywhere as a franchise, but I’ll always have a soft spot for it.)
11. Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day (In only 11 episodes, it tells a captivating and heartrending story that really sticks with you.)
12. Digimon Tamers (Objectively the strongest and smartest written of the Digimon series. It’s like a Digi-Evangelion - what’s not to love?)
13. Star Driver: Takuto of the Radiance (It’s just so - much - FUN. Criminally underrated, but it really was exceptional at what it did.)
14. Love Live! School Idol Project / Love Live! Sunshine!! (The latter more so than the former, but both of them just really delight me.)
15. El Hazard / The Wanderers (While I love the original OVA, I love the TV series version derived from it just as much in its own way)
16. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (2006) (Madcap chaos and a surprising amount of heart and depth from start to finish.)
17. Digimon Adventure 02 (Yeah, it’s a mess and it fails as a sequel to its predecessor, but it’s heart was always in the right place.)
18. FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (One of the most awe-inspiring and epic achievements of Japanese media, especially for Shonen!)
19. Puella Magi Madoka Magica (I enjoy a lot of what comes out of this franchise, but the original 12 episode story is forever the best.)
20. A Place Further Than The Universe (Who knew a short show about girls on a trip to Antarctica could end up so fucking good?)
21. Pokemon: Sun and Moon (The strongest single series that the Pokemon anime has ever done, with a great cast and stories.)
22. When They Cry: Higurashi (No horror anime can quite compare to this one. Note that this covers Kai & Rei too, but nothing else.)
23. Mobile Fighter G Gundam (The Gundam franchise is diverse and varied, yet no series in it could ever match this one in my heart!)
24. Vinland Saga (A work of historical fiction that is truly epic and compelling on a massive scale that few anime dare attempt.)
25. Excel Saga (In total contrast with the above Saga, this one is just balls-to-the-walls goofy and insane, and I love every second of it!)
26. Death Note (The manga and the film duology do it better, but there’s still much to be enjoyed in the anime adaptation as well.)
27. Pokemon: Best Wishes (The series that’s most to credit with rejuvenating a stale anime property. Shame 'bout that final year, tho.)
28. Nadja of Tomorrow (It’s like a classical, old fashioned novel played out across 50 episodes of anime, and a ride I enjoy a lot.)
29. Hellsing Ultimate (The sole contender to Higurashi in terms of being a superbly done dark and gory horror anime.)
30. Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion (The Code Geass franchise could never do anime better than in this initial outing.)
Honorable Mentions: Ace Attorney: The Animation, Angel Beats!, Bakugan: Battle Brawlers, Berserk, Black Lagoon, Carole & Tuesday Cours 1, CLANNAD / After Story, Danganronpa: The Animation, Digimon Fusion, Don’t Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro, Dragon Ball / Dragon Ball Z, Eureka Seven, Fruits Basket (2019), Gintama, InuYasha, Kill La Kill, Little Witch Academia, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, March Comes In Like A Lion, Magic Knight Rayearth, Monster, My Bride Is A Mermaid, My Hero Academia, My-HiME / My-Otome, Nisekoi: Fake Love, One Piece, Pokemon Journeys, Re:Zero, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Rurouni Kenshin, Sailor Moon Crystal: Infinity, School Live!, Shaman King, SSSS Gridman, Tengen Tonpa Gurren Lagann, Tenchi Muyo, The Future Diary, The Promised Neverland S1, Toradora, Wolf’s Rain, and Zatch Bell.
