came for some favored voice actors, staying for the a+ cat content
the apothecarist is also a forensic scientist?
i love the craftiness of women and the things they go through to protect themselves and others. i love women so much i love maomao wowowoww
multi-dimensional women who grieve and fight and love one another and give each other sex advice amazing what a show what an episode
the plot armor is strong with this one
the feminine urge to abandon your whole family & community for a cute boy
man these kids and adults should have gotten government funded psychological/emotional support systems after the ptsd they suffered by being forced to live in a life or death video game for 2 years
-laughs in lack of existing veteran support-
but also gross man alert D:
i stuck it out because i wanted to believe but i really shouldn't have.
these poor traumatized underage girls :crying_cat_face:
if this dude hasn't been to his home in japan in 5 years how did yuzu's mom meet him and date him enough to marry him ??
just glad to be watching a romance anime where the protagonists aren't in high school and are grown adults lol
that internalized guilt and shame is real. the true villain in this series is capitalism and society at large lol
ah to only have 7 people exist in a world so you can all be interconnected in a bazillion ways
i wish ppl exploring gender expression through video games wasn't so villainized/sensationalized like... let people do whatever they want it's all pixels and codes >_>
comphet playing a big role here
look at all these kitties working overtime to keep us fed with con!tent!
i love cats
although I didn't really feel each episode was that great, i did appreciate that the show did a fair job of trying to avoid yaoi/bl tropes and portray a gay relationship beyond genre expectations throughout the season. I also love slow burns so like. it worked for me.
also i identify with miyano assigning tropes to the people and situations around him lol.
OH and also the random cats. yes.
man.... miyano is so emotionally dense i can't lol
sasaki: do you wanna go out with me? i think you're cute. I want to get the know the person I like.
miyano: what does he mean by this???
why is this listed as a separate tv show from the first season of horimiya?
either way, it's fine. i enjoyed the extension stories of (most) of the characters particularly Iura, but also this season kind of revealed the holes in horimiya's relationship that just screams RED FLAGS O.o plus how many of the characters' characterization kind of don't... make sense, particularly kyoko's family & their dynamics. it's like the author was so set on making the show fluffy and nice that many of the 'darker' stuff (like the implication that kyoko's parents were never around and she pretty much raised her and her brother herself) kind of got ignored and brushed aside as the show went on.
hori needs some therapy she's giving major self-hatred/bpd vibes tbh
this gross ass teacher should not exist nor should have gotten any frickin screen time on this show eugh
it's funny how much my enjoyment of the episodes drops if it's a character i'm not super into lol i loved the first half of the episode and then barely made it through the second half
i actually love this episode and iura a lot lol but the tone is so different so i can understand why this arc didn't make it into the original series
an extra heart for hori in the boys uniform :heart_eyes_cat:
on crunchyroll this episode is listed as 'the journey begins'. also this episode was funnier than most of the first season.
Was the piercings and the tattoos a form a self harm for miyamura? they never really touched on this and throughout the season he went from an alt/goth kid to like... a preppy dude. if they were forms of self harm for him i'm glad he moved away from them, but then i wish the show had gone into that a bit more. if it wasn't, i hate this trend of how general media paints the narrative that alt/goth kids are only this way because they're lonely or considered weird and that as soon as they have 'love' and 'acceptance' they become conventionally attractive and socially appropriate again ? this is not the first coming-of-age story i've watched where this happens which is why i'm pointing it out. piercings and tattoos are forms of self-expression for a lot of people and the fact that that was taken away from him by the writers as he gained 'self-confidence', as it were, kind of hit a nerve for me.
otherwise, a conventional wrap up of a high-school/coming-of-age story. none of the characters mentioned college or what they would do after graduating so the story really didn't have a hopeful, upward direction or -end of a chapter, start of the next- vibe most high school graduating stories tend to have. also maybe the showrunners had to fit all of the manga into a season so everything was super squished together and rushed, but i found it incredibly difficult to feel much attachment to any of the characters because they had so little screentime/the stories they experienced were sort of told then dropped so they could do the next arc. i wish they had slowed things down and let things develop more and breathe (or had been given the chance to do that, with more episodes/seasons).
children, you cannot get married straight out of high school, please omg.
