I think it's hard to put into words how geniusly devious this one is. What floored me was the look on Brennan's face as you watch him put all the pieces together in his head.
actually evil of them to air this the same night as the succession finale im so empty right now
Jeez, the snowflaky reactions of straight white men because not every single episode and narrative centres them - anything deviating from that priority is apparently "woke". Get over yourselves, you egomaniacal bigots.
Anyway, another great episode that nicely expanded Ellie's backstory - bonus points for the Mortal Kombat II appreciation, too :nerd:
Eda: "Don't worry, Lily. With this spell declared, I promise I'll be back."
Lilith: "That's not a spell, doesn't even rhyme."
Gus: [Muffled] "King? King, are you okay?"
The Collector: "You wanna play tag? I'm it."
The Collector: "We're gonna have a blast, everyone!"
King: "Luz, I am so happy I got to have you as a big sister."
"Girl Lost in Frogland Hoax?"

Hunter: [Text message] "LEAVE. ME ALONE"
Amity: "I'm not going anywhere with you!
[Amity takes Luz's rune.]
Amity: "...Either of you."
Luz: "Thank you for listening. I can't wait to pick flowers with you."
Eda: "I've got my eyes on you, Blight."

I wanted to see Sasha keep trying to apologise to Anne, but this works too.

Ooh. An episode centered around my favorite duo: Roy Mustang and Risa Hawkeye. It was interesting seeing them as naive idealists becoming weapons of mass murder becoming people who are just trying so hard to keep their humanity and fulfill their dreams in spite of all the crimes they have committed.
One of the most unhinged and insane season finales I have ever seen attempted in a KIDS SHOW????
Genuinely great, characters get their moments to shine, the plot goes into high gear, and the twists at the end of this episode setting up the final season are genuinely shocking.
A promising start. Like @deanzel I thought it started off pretty generic but it certainly ramped up and got interesting and a lot better. I also appreciated it being a double-length episode to take the time to establish things. Of the characters introduced thus far, they all seemed pretty likable. Having just seen Erased last season, it's interesting to see another series handling time travel again so soon, and no doubt it will draw comparisons to that series. And like Erased, it has the potential to handle the premise and mechanics well, or badly. Shame there's a fair amount of dodgy CG to be seen but hopefully the quality of the story will be enough to excuse that.
Still, a good first episode. Here's hoping it stays good. White Fox as a studio do have the potential to do very well when they're on point.
This series gave me such a sense of comfort and contentment. Especially during this quarantine, and I cannot experience campus life myself.
I am vaguely reminded of the line, "one must imagine Sisyphus happy." Anyway, I have no words for this episode, although it really resonated with me.
Now I see why this anime is rated as the best of all time. The story is just mind-boggling.
Mitsumata: "There are many who cherish you. Please do not forget that."

the game was so dramatic and i love it
I wish that they made the confrontation differ more from Vader and Ahsokas in Rebels.
That sure fizzled out at the end. Dramatic and exciting in parts, but I'm not sure that any of it made a bit of sense. Remember when these guys used to solve crimes?
Well .... I .. uh don't know how to say it but this was intense
I'm liking this feeling that this show gives off's. Ease and casualness of watching it. With the emphasize of adorable characters that we see on the screen.
Well, that's left me hooked and wanting more. What a great show.
By the episode's end, CookieGod and I burst into laughter because of how much it emotionally and intellectually moved us.
You had to be there.

"Faces fading in the flames. It was all her fault." Swain's quote in game for Jinx, all makes sense now
This show based on bloody league of legends has absolutely no right to be as good as it is, but hoooooly crap did the writers really pull their weight on this show.

A solid start!
The entire set-up for how little others think of Boji is well-done and establishes this world quite well. No, it doesn't feel like there's a massive world out there, but it feels like there is a kingdom, at least.
Boji's entire upbeat attitude is endearing, but once you learn that he's just been holding it all in , it becomes all too real and easier to sympathise with him.
The twist at the end brings about some stellar animated action, and I'm all for it.
This show has a promising beginning, and I hope it only improves from here.

Geslan: "Look around you."
Guard: "Why don't they stop him?!"
Daida: "Brother was fighting dirty."
Kage: "No matter what anyone else says, I think your style is just fine as it is."

Wow. I'm not usually the type of guy to really like a story's beginnings, but this show has had such a strong start.
It was such a bold and unexpected choice to shift this episode's focus onto Kage's backstory, and it really makes you look at him in a different light as he becomes easier to empathise with.
I still don't understand how Bojji hadn't shown his fighting ability before or why these people think dodging = fighting dirty, but oh well, it's a nice metaphor.
This world is also very cruel.
