#weekly boonboomger “i watched it” post

[bykalopsia]

my psyche has been affected by sht this week

[bykalopsia]

i'm being really normal and regular about mad rex asking for taiya to kill him. i haven't been staring at my computer screen and talking to myself for three hours. what would possess you to think such a thing about me? i assure you i am taking this information in the most level-headed manner one could possibly think of.

anyways.

[about the actual episode though this might be one of my favorites of the more episodic / fun-focused entries! i was a bit worried how we'd follow up with this premise after last week but i was really surprised! it might just be that i love all mira focuses that is entirely possible. but she really shone this ep! (i loved her taking over both the role call and being the main driver of boondorio, especially with the new insert song!) also somehow i forgot the toqger crossover was upcoming even though i knew ahead of time so it surprised me a lot in the preview lol.]

going to be thinking about this excerpt from the production blog all week..... ourghhhhhhhhhh.

[bykalopsia]

moving genba down a spot in my boonboomger ranking on principle for interrupting taiya/mad rex memory restoration smh....... anyways MAD REX MEMORY RESTORATION NEXT WEEK!!!!!!! (hopefully?) (please?)

also learning that ishiro's parents were also spies and raised him to do that sort of work :(((( like i'm not going to bet on the show diving any further into that revelation but aurgh... oof... ouch... my bones....

[bykalopsia]

i just did like ten backflips ISHIRO FOCUS NEXT EPISODEEEEEE

also taiya is going through it (genba gone, fake mad rex, ishiro working with the ISA guy, ough)

also #genbamiratheworld. they are so important to me uwehhhhhh.....

i had a whole paragraph written out about fake madrex but who cares. WHAT IS GOING ON HERE. AHHHHHHHHHHH guys sorry post over i have to leave. my brain can't do any of this rn

[bykalopsia]

who else thinks taiya and mad rex should kiss

[bykalopsia]

stares. what an episode huh. team shenanigans. shirabe infodumping. whatever mad rex and the sanseaters have going on. taiya's mentor is probably evil. pararira pararira. disrace debut. genba freaking it. wow. television.

also they have probably engineered the worst possible episode for me to have to watch while with tens of my family members i'm going to freak out. "next time, genba's past and his meeting with taiya will be revealed!" do you promise. please. please. please. i'm gonna be real normal about it i swear.

this week's episode was a welcome return to form i think! i have my Thoughts about how the second lap has been structured, but since my wishes were granted this week and i'm back to looking forward to upcoming developments (and i don't think me going on and on abt it fits this sort of post) i won't get into it today.

ANYWAY! i really enjoyed sakito's fight with cannonborg. i think most importantly i really enjoyed that it felt like the team was working together even when the 1v1 moments are happening, which is something i think was i beginning to miss what with sakito and boonred 119's debuts being so solo / duo focused. tho it would have been nice if they had cut to the team fending off the sanseaters lol. hopefully this will continue to be the case for the future!

ANYWAY none of this matters..... genba and ishiro sharing candied apples..... waaaaa..... mad rex in the promotional poster...... yayyyyyyy i've only watched like half an episode of toqger but toqger crossover confirmed..... genba looking foreboding in the preview images..... more information about the isa..... i'm #winning. my crops are watered my garden is flourishing my hope and optimism are restored o7

real representation for people who suck ass at baseball this episode.

[bykalopsia]

anyway this week boonboomger fun. the more it gets revealed that taiya's whole mysterious deal is more because he's awkward and not for any intentionally secretive or stoic reasons i'm so endeared. like awww. i'm going to hug him and crush his bones like boondorio did :)

[bykalopsia]

toei if you don't put sakito on that goddamn stage in the ed i'm going to do something drastic.

but this episode was so fun...... ishiro and sakito are so funny.....

[bykalopsia]

making genba bartend at the group "luring sakito out" date is crazy

[bykalopsia]

all dinosaurs go to heaven...?

this was played way straighter than i thought it would be i'm actually sad about jou and his fucked up little dog :(

[bykalopsia]

genba continues to be the guy ever

[bykalopsia]

madrex fans how are we feeling

joking and mourning aside, i did really like this ep! also the champion jackets are so fucking cool i feel like the reception is half ragging on them and half thinking they're beast. i for one think they're beast. i especially liked that they can all pat one of them on the back to power a finisher up that's so <33333333 boonboomgers the team ever to me........

also genba.................................... if i wasn't perpetually malding this ep bc i was 85% sure they were gonna kill madrex i would have cried. the contrast between having a place to die vs a place to live......... ourghhhhhhhh. his scene with madrex was also super good i need to rewatch it aughhhhhhhhhhhh.

last off......... madrex................................... i'm so sad..................... he wasn't even lucid for his final fight with taiya its so sick. disrace when i get you disrace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its sick. he didn't even say goodbye to the sanseaters so they wouldn't be sad again............ i'm so miserable............ madrex...........................................................................................

my only real complain is that boy was it really obvious they did NOT know wtf to do with sakito this ep since he doesn't get the powerup lol.

i'm acting so normal right now (read: i screamed many times and assuredly have weirded out my many family members in the next room over)
