Everyone out here complaining about the ending. I’m just really upset my dude died his hair that hideous red color
Darci's character is cool but Mary Wang's got an antiquated idea of only boys asking out girls. Heteronormative and anti-feminist.
More creepy love fantasizing about the Mole mascot. If Strickler controls Angur Rot, then how is Angur Rot doing this stuff with the pixies? Weird.
This is the first episode where I can tell that the character animations weren't created with the more underplayed English voice acting in mind. The contrast of the dramatic lip flaps with the deadpan delivery is a bit odd, but the animation is dope and I like the direction this is going so far.
Quite enjoyed this series/season but didn't like the ending one bit.
Oh, you've really added that guy. So that's the direction of the show. Have not liked anything I've ever seen him do, including this character. Best of luck in your future endeavors. :(
Why the hell is Toni still with Cheryl lmfao. I would have gotten out there the second I saw her dead brother, like what the fuck.
Why is Cheryl so well liked again?
I'm not sure how I feel about Erin and James. I'm not completely adverse to it though. Usually perturbed when shows feel the need to add a romantic element to male x female friendships but its not totally annoying me. Do think it's unnecessary though and would be nicer without.
Ugh at Toby's "pillow fight" comment. That shitty character is sexist af!
I smiled when Gina popped up. Then she reminded us how annoying she is. Who actually missed her?
How did the FBI let Betty run this entire investigation alone for that amount of time? How are all these kids now teachers at their old highschool without a teaching degree? Why aren't all parents pulling their kids from that school like Lemure's parents did? I have so many questions every time I watch Riverdale and yet here I am... still watching.
I’m running out of things to say because I’m so bored
Immediately, I hear some sexism in Toby's resentment of Claire's gaining the Shadowstaff. She worked at it, dove for it, grabbed it, while Toby lost the Killstone. She deserves to have it while Toby's just a whiny shit bc male entitlement. Not a fan of Steve using the ableist "l*me" slur.
Why tf do they care about Spring King? I don't see the point of that.
Toby keeps blaming Claire despite everything going wrong being his fault for being incompetent and a jackass. Ugh.
wtf was the point of the truck-a-thon thing? Just part of the Spring King arc? Seemed very pointless.
The bully deserves any bad thing that happened to him, bc he brought it all on himself.
Everything about Toby's interactions with girls and women is creepy af. It's one thing if Toby uses the toxic masculinity concept of "wuss" but awful that Blinky does. It's very typical to portray indigenous people as savages and while the wumpa? are trolls, the same is done here. I don't "know" that it's racist but it feels like it is. Also, Toby's "song" is atrocious. Oof. The dancing is awful, too.
The special effect with the Shadowstaff was cool, though.
Not much happened, but it has the right amount of creepiness and it doesn't rely on jump scares alone. It actually manages to build up an eerie and tense ambience that makes you feel uncomfortable while watching the episode. It reminded me of Insidious because of that, something I consider to be a good thing.
I wasn't thrilled by this first episode, but I'm intrigued enough to keep watching the rest of the season.
I just wish I hadn't watched this right before going to bed... Sigh!
haha, I remember this episode. Common theme in both this and Korra is friends being all jealous and insecure over how fast the Avatar learns lol
It does seem OP to not only get to know all 4 elements but to learn them easier too though lol
I'm 3 minutes into the episode and I cannot do this. Another musical episode with no storyline? No. Just NO!! What next? Riverdale on ice? Omg, if the writers have ran out of ideas, why can't they just write a good final season and cut their losses?
Edit: I skipped through the whole thing, so let me save you the grief of watching. All you need to know is that Betty and Archie kiss and realize they may have feelings for one another. Then, skip to 40:45 and watch the last few minutes.
Anyone else legit thought the therapist being the killer was just an act Boyle did to get Jake to talk? Just me? Ok.
I'm bummed we missed the squad meeting Jocelyn. ESPECIALLY JAKE. But seeing Holt fight to meet her is the next best thing. She seems pretty cool. I like her. :D
Again with the Holt soundboard, I love that thing! Someone should seriously make that a real app! Get. Some. Get. Some. Priceless!
Just one third short of a full The Lonely Island reunion, I hope they can get all three of them in an episode, eventually.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine never disappoints, but this episode definitely rose above the average. That ending was totally cuteness overload!
Oh my... the feels just keep on coming. I think that I've got a little something in my eyes...

Sweet shirt bro ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Love Okuyasu. He's gonna be a welcome addition to the group for sure. Can't wait to see what Koichi's powers end up being. And as always, JoJo leaves me with my weekly dose of Savage Garden on its way out. The perfect ending.
Some things here don't make sense:
End of arc spoiler below:
2. Draining DIO's blood into Old Jojo should have turned him into a vampire. Every other time DIO's blood was passed on, the person turned, most recently Cool Ice (or Vanilla Ice, the one who killed Iggy). I don't think they could take back JUST Old Jojo's blood that DIO stole: once it's mixed, it's mixed. Not to mention, the whole "soul" leaving his body moment, but it wouldn't be the first time they played around with souls. So for that moment when Old Jojo was "just playing around", I 100% saw it coming as a real issue, and it still may be one later.
End of part one, I think I actually like this a little now, gonna try finish it
Had no idea she was a guy, did I miss the part where they mentioned that before or is this the first time it’s come up?
What an epic Sad episode,i really liked that one specially that skating scene,the soundtrack was awesome and full of memories and emotions
also about the ending scene was also good..
For real that's epic
thanks for who done this one
btw wasn't that light from Death note?
"In the pursuit of great, we failed to do good."
"I never would have given you to them. Not for anything. Don't cry. You're perfect."
This episode has some incredible quotes.
I know Hilda meant well, but she should've read the footnote. There was no reason for her to be in a rush!
I like this episode, it's good, but it has so much potential and could've used a few tweaks to improve it. For one, foreshadowing for the footnote would've been useful. There is no indication that there would be side-effects or that Hilda should've read some footnote. And two, that enchantment is kind of useless. It gives them good luck for thirty days but then steals their souls. What's the point of that enchantment? And what do you do with your friends' souls, anyway? Also, that autotune on David was a bit weird.
But I like what they tried to explore in this episode. Alfur is fantastic and helpful, as always. And they gave Frida a reason to be there, which is nice. It was such a simple story, but it works.
7/10
Holy crap. Awesome first episode. This is definitely going to draw comparisons to Attack on Titan. Same studio, art style and "humanity is screwed" themes. But zombies and steampunk!
We even have Sawano Hiroyuki doing the soundtrack again.
The first episode really hit the ground running with the action and introduction to this world and the characters. Definitely can't wait to see more.
I can't believe people are praising this awful, boring episode. Your standards must be low when you watch a Netflix series.
This should have been a 10 minutes long story told by one of the characters, intertwined with flashbacks. Not an entire episode dedicated to it, ffs.
They didn't do much at all with Sigan in this episode - supposedly "the most powerful sorcerer that ever lived." Does anyone agree?
And then the early-in-the-season big bad teams up with the good guy to take on the end-of-season big bad.
All the leveling up talk makes this feel a lot like a video game.
It's cool to see all the other residents of Trollmarket team up with Jim! And finally the mark of Angor Rot is overcome!
NotEnrique did NOT save Claire's life! He barely did anything!
The useless Toby character causes Aaarrrgh's death. Bah.
I did like Draal getting his dad's approval, though.
The writing uses the word "quarry" wrong in that prophecy thing. I think they meant to say quarrel? Or something else that means to fight/battle. Quarry means a place where you extract rock or to extract rock.
