I'm sure many people hate this show but I actually like how dark this gets.
People will say they feel no sympathy for Jaime getting his hand cut off when moments ago he protected a woman who'd been holding him captive from being raped. He didn't have to save her, he has absolutely no reason to. But he did. Please ask yourselves why a guy who tried to kill a child would then go on to save her. Maybe I'm talking out of my ass here, but this current Jaime seems a little different from the one in the beginning of the show.
And anyway, why do characters need to be squeaky clean goodie-two-shoes to garner sympathy? Why can we not just feel bad for folks cause they're going through some rough shit we wouldn't want done to us or our loved ones? Maybe not so much for a generically evil guy like Dany's brother, made only to be hated and then given a brutally "satisfying" death so viewers can cheer. I mean for people like Jaime and Theon who are obviously more than just one-dimensional villains.
This episode is my childhood! I used to religiously watch a clip of the Slickback part on YouTube as a kid lol.
The Skyler hate is ridiculous, I didn't even know there were idiots out there that blamed her for everything going wrong. In this exact episode, Skyler literally explains to Ted why it's important that he pays the IRS. If he doesn't, Ted, Skylar, and Walt WILL go to jail. There's literally no reason for Ted not to want to pay them, he just suddenly gains stupid last minute "morals" while he acts like it isn't his bullshit that got them into that mess. But of course, it's easier to blame the woman that's tried her absolute best to keep these two dumbass criminals from being caught and imprisoned.
I'm a little ashamed for it as I don't usually like to let my real life emotions affect my viewing experience, but I was very angry at Walt during the final scene...I swear he acts like Jesse's abusive dad every time they talk, always blowing up at him for the smallest mistake. Or when he doesn't do everything he says, exactly how he says it, even if it's impossible (like not poisoning a pot of food both he and his target are going to eat from). Meanwhile Jesse's going through a lot, mentally. Between Jane's death (that Walt caused), Gale's murder (which happened on Walt's orders), almost dying to a sniper, and now having to worry about preventing a huge war, Jesse's been through the ringer lately and Walt is just too - would "self-absorbed" be the right word? - something...to give him a damn break. I think I get it though, Walt's afraid of being killed and he put he last scrap of hope on Jesse poisoning Gus. But still.
I've read the entire comic and this episode had me in tears at many points. This is the best show I've ever seen in my life.
These episodes just get better and better.
I'll say it cause no one else will, but poor Marcus. He just had a shit hand at every turn. And now his daughter will pay the price.
Damn, guess this is yet another show that'll have me in tears at the end of every episode.
The parkour, the fist fights, Vi and Cait's budding relationship...it's just so peak...
Am I crazy? Did I watch something different than anyone else?
I thought this show was great right up until this episode. Everything was so rushed. Weems cleverly eavesdrops on evil lady's monologue...then immediately dies right after. Enid finally goes wolf and curbstomps evil guy in seconds (I actually didn't mind this, just wanted a longer fight maybe? And maybe using the fight to add to the father/son storyline?) . Dollar Store Voldemort that's been hyped up the whole season gets resurrected...just to do absolutely nothing to no one. He doesn't even get to kill any outcasts, just shows up to the school, lights it on fire and dies very quickly. I actually looked to see how much episode was left when he died and was surprised I was at the end. People kept teleporting between locations whenever the plot demanded they be somewhere.
This needed to be either a longer episode or a two-parter. Overall though, I definitely love the show. I hope the writing for the main storyline in Season 2 will be better.
First few episodes, I wasn't too sure about this show (I even stopped watching for 2 weeks after the second episode), but man it's really good. Morticia and Gomez being obsessed with each other cracks me up :joy: And the relationship that Wednesday has with her family is surprisingly wholesome.
Man this show is so entertaining lol. Loved the scene at the end.
Typical overhyped edgelord anime but the phenomenal English voice acting, especially for the protagonist (courtesy of the great Aleks Le) makes this show actually somewhat watchable. His screams and rage at the end gave me chills.
Ay...when Spike is leaning his head on Dru and she's stroking his cheek...I want that.
So I guess I'm the only one who liked Darla and found it hilarious when she was sliding on the table and firing guns like this was Hard Boiled/Stranglehold/The Matrix.
Hm, guess I'm crazy cause this is the first episode I've actually liked. The plot twists in this one were amazing and really caught me off guard.
We're SO back, guys!!!!!!
This was one of the worst episodes for me, personally. Way too much melodrama. Way too much standing around doing nothing.
I'm sorry, I've tried to like this show, I even think the Hidden Inventory arc was absolutely fantastic...but man this show is just plain bad.
"I've trained my whole life for this" fails
Dammit can my girl Miwa (and the rest of the Kyoto kids) get at least one W please? We're at the end of Season 2 and she's done her technique like 3 times now and has still not hit a single person with it once. And they still haven't done anything useful in the plot, they showed up as if they were gonna do some work and yet can do absolutely nothing against Uraume, let alone Geto.
Also that Mei Mei scene was the cringiest thing in this show so far...
In just 3 episodes, this season is way better than the first which had 24.
Meh. Don't care about the bromance cause they just met and bonded over the dumbest thing (their favorite type of woman), yet the show keeps telling you "Hey, these two are best friends! Now they're brothers!". And I can't even enjoy the action scenes cause in typical shonen fashion, they stop and overexplain everything after every single move.
"I won't forget you ever, Mai."
"She's not bad..."
I could watch this episode's Juju Stroll forever.
Let's be honest here, the episode was alright at best. The writing was far from subtle, with characters beating you over the head with "Hey, did you know the Japanese idol/entertainment industry is bad? Here's why..." every minute, making this feel more like a documentary than an anime. If they really want to shed a light on these themes, why can't they show them instead of having characters turn and exposit to the viewer about it every five minutes?
That whole murder scene was both predictable and overdone. I hate drawn-out death scenes where the dying person yammers on and on about all their hopes and dreams and wishes and regrets and "I love you sweetie, grow up to be good okay". Japanese media has a real problem with relying on melodrama. But hey look around, everyone's calling it a masterpiece, so whatever works right?
And really? Another edgy high-school revenge plot?
Glad that Yuzuriha's back. I hope the show does cool stuff with her.
I really hate the trope of someone immediately figuring out the plans of another, even when they've done clever things to fool them.
That ending song is pure heat!
THE FUCKING VOICE ACTING!!! I was in TEARS during Jaune and Ruby's speeches!
This season was way better than I remember. A great opening theme song, a fantastic fight scene in Episode 7, and some really great character moments/development all around.
Now what I do remember clearly is dropping the show in Volume 5 because it was boring, but I hope I'm wrong about that as well.
Fantastic season! And the credits song is sick!!! Man, Casey Lee Williams never disappoints.
So far, Volume 4 has been way better than I remember. That fight scene was amazing!
