A great season finale. Most of the plots are wrapped up. There is a a sense of ending/closure for most characters. Bojack's got what he wanted, can't wait to see how he will fuck it up in the next season.
"The key to being happy isn't a search for meaning.It's to keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense and eventually, you'll be dead"
The show is full of these little gems, so philosophical, so true, so dark. And the fact that it comes from Mr Peanutbutter, the most stupidly joyful character, makes it hit even harder.
The Todd+Peanutbutter business ideas are delightful. And I like how Vincent is still there. Also small detail: Bojack never letting go of his Golden Globe (even though he didn't even write the book).
The comedy definitely kept this one going. From Todd and Tarantalino settling on what kind of movie/hat/curated gift basket they were making, to the satire of Naomi Watts complaining about her role being too three-dimensional, to Mr. Peanutbutter's hangup on his V-neck, it all kept me chuckling throughout.
The twist with Bojack and Naomi had its moments, but felt a little predictable, and Bojack's conflict with Dianne didn't land like it should. Their relationship still feels a little forced to me. As I've said before, I like what they're doing in principle, but the execution can't hit liftoff for whatever reason.
I would love to read one trick pony
That's a lot of character development you got there.
Welp, things are changing, and it doesn't look like they're going back to normal. Todd, BoJack, Mr Peanutbutter, Diane and Princess Carolyn have had sudden realisations about life. Profound realisations that all lead back to BoJack and his choices. He's made some questionable ones.
Finally, things seem like they're moving forward. Every action has a consequence. And, I don't know if I'm ready to get invested in this show. I've already watched three episodes today, which is way more than my usual one.
What the hell? Let's go! I'm ready for this to become one of my favourite shows.
IT'S GOOD.
TECHNICAL SCORE: 7/10
ENJOYMENT SCORE: 8/10
Maybe I should read up about the main anime. Or this first episode was meant to confuse me. Either way I'm intrigued by the (I guess*) unique concept of magical girls and the crazy strange visuals. The mood is also far from light-hearted and if this episode is not misleading we're in for a weird and dark trip into Tamaki's past and future.
*I've just seen one or two episodes of one other magical girl anime, so I'm almost unknowing of tropes, cliches and standards. Color me interested.
Sister Michael is a whole maniac! I almost passed out laughing at one of her quips
Not a fan of James & Erin being a thing; it totally came out of nowhere (the only "hint" was James taking her to prom last season but I can't be the only one not interpreting this as romantic) and it does throw the group dynamic off. Michelle's reaction and the incest joke were some of the highlights of this episode though! So was Sister Michael showing up in her Delorean, she's such an icon!
The "Thank you, love." at the end :broken_heart:
this entire season is gonna be that English dickhead redefining masculinity with his fashion choices, innit
The contrast to the last scene of the last season was interesting.
No one say protect Orla at all costs bcoz she can fucking protect herself better than anyone else armed with nothing but her hunting knife.
This episode is so underrated on IMDb, but hopefully, more people will get to this series and the average rating will shoot up someday.
This will always be one of my most favorite episodes from the series, mainly bcoz how effectively it subverted poor old "Dead Poets Society"! How it drew the parallel to "The Usual Suspects" and tied it in with the former film at the end was pure amusement as well.
I also fall a little more in love with Sister Michael in each episode. Her character is so well-written and complex and infinitely fascinating, but we never get to see her much.
This episode is boring !! OMG.. Tanjiro can't even kill a bird????
Buff cleft chin Nezuko doesn't exist, she can't hurt you.
Buff cleft chin Nezuko: ...
I would happily wear that shirt, idk what everyone is on about
Is it just me or was this episode insanely well-shot and animated even for this show?
Budget 100%
Omg the merman fandom is real ahahaha!
Beach ball horses aren’t too bad really.
Love how they both stepped aside for Ched :joy:
Doesn't worth a double shantay but ok... probably one of the worst runways ever made and glad Mama Paolo agree with me
Turing was robbed! I love Minty but she should have been in the bottom two
The best pilot I've seen in a while
the way the captain of the Body Improvement club protected mob was good af
That's why I hit the gym five days per week.
Everything was love and sweetness and suddenly that happens! "???!! too dark"
Pretty sweet for a first episode back. Reminded me why I like Mob as a character so much :)
Joe Lo Truglio did so damn good at that interrogation scene, I couldn’t stop laughing.
Wait and why didn’t Jake and Amy asked for Jake’s mom’s help?? Also I feel like Amy would never go looking like that to a presentation, she would have like two emergency pantsuits in her locker and she could’ve put her hair in a bun, that was so NOT Amy.
That might've been one of my favorite cold opens ever. "Maybe I don't have an arch nemesis because I solve all my crimes". It's a good thing Jake was at a police precinct because that was straight up murder.
I admit I was a little floored when I saw the subjects touched as I didn't expect them to be dealt with in 99, but as it was getting on I really appreciated the way it was done: delicately and with the show's usual humour, in this case even in dealing with these serious stuff.
There are different ways of facing society's problems, and talking about them even in a lighter way (as for a comedy, rather than a drama) is always a nice start.
I love how for some there are certain topics so touchy that just have to be ignored or that make anyone who talks about them "woke". Some of you Americans are weird
Jotaro's death had no effect on me, despite him appearing in more parts than any others. Not sure what it is. Too fast? Feels too different of a character?
I was laughing my head off at the beginning. You immediately know you're watching Jojo.
