This last episode seems really promising!
one of those episodes that did not age well
I would have loved this so much more if the age gap between the princess and the prince were less than 10 years
I am not a big fan of the art or the animation, but I guess I'm willing to give this show a chance since so many of my friends love it. Not really my thing tho : //
love the art, atmosphere, and imagery of wires as something that connect AND slice
Yoo the scenes and use of music here are insane !! I love the one in the opera, the sex scene intercutting with Viktor working and dropping, Marcus confronting Silco and imagining himself playing martyr, Jinx going back to that arcade thing, Enemy and Sevika and Vi fighting, and Vi's little smirk and telling Caitlyn "you look hot, cupcake!"
I am now afraid of councilor Medarda since I cannot figure out her true intentions with Jayce. Like did she really believe in his vision, or is she just hoping to use him??
Also just realized that Jinx is always perched on the beams beneath the ceilings. I wonder if she can hang on to them.
Excited to see where Vi was these past few years.
the 2D smoke and splash effects on top of the 3D-looking everything are soo coool
Oh my god are we finally coming close to answering the question "why are the EVAs piloted by children?"
I see walls and monsters, I think of Attack on Titan. I loved the humor, and introduction of the two teachers in this episode! It's also so refreshing to see a parent who's supportive and encouraging the same way Johanna is. She really believes in Hilda, and loves that she doesn't feel the need to conform to the status quo. I also can't get enough of this series's amazing color palette: the main primary color one, and the complimentary colors for scenes with heavy contrast between shadow and light. I also love the little things to denote continuity like the nittens.
Having powers and dying young seems like a pretty good deal to me. I checked this pilot out having no clue whatsoever about the series, but the idea of a small community discouraged from expressing emotions and seemingly isolated from the world suggests painful, burdensome secrets!
The pacing of this episode feels slightly off to me. To be honest, I really can't bring myself to care for Farlan and Isabel but Levi's rage and grief were so powerful. No Regrets made Levi's principle of not allowing room for regrets, and his trust in and relationship with Erwin Smith even more meaningful though.
Levi's whole get up here looks so good on him! I don't know if the episode I've seen has been altered to squueze theough some copyright loopholes or what, but some of the camera movement here was weird. Erwin and Levi's first encounter was almost thrilling, but I hope we can get more insight on what the job was supposed to be, how and why the survey corps was involved, and how they got their hands on the maneuvering gear.
Gosh. Madoka's self-righteousness and self-deprecation are almost t o o m u c h. I love Kyoko and Sayaka too. I hope Homura will be alive by the end.

"It's not a ghost story, it's a love story."
"Same thing really."
What the actual fuck does that even mean ????????
Isn't it convenient how Peter is expelled out of Rebecca's body when they crossed the border of the Bly manor grounds, but Viola stayed with Dani the whole time ??? Okay ????
Levi's whole get up here looks so good on him! I don't know if the episode I've seen has been altered to squueze theough some copyright loopholes or what, but some of the camera movement here was weird.

I really thought Hayasaka was the answer to her 20 questions. Also Shinomiya, wrap your arms around him! Why does she ride a bike like that?? :sob::sob:
Mrs. Bennet really makes me laugh! The awkward scenes really make you cringe.
Wait, what the fuck?? I did not feel the series coming to a conclusion at all ???? I can't believe it just ended like that ????
Edit: Okay, I don't hate it, I think. I wouldn't exactly say it was rushed. Abrupt, maybe. Underwhelming, somehow yes, definitely so. I really like the direction 2003 went with, maybe even more so than Brotherhood (the villain and Final Battle Scene of which I was not particularly fond of either). I just feel like the pace and gravitas (??) of the ending did not do the momentum that the past episodes built up justice.
I really expected the first episode to be dark and heart-wrenching, so finally seeing it was such a pleasant surprise. I love how they just immerse you in the action, the lore, and the characters' fun antics. There was something about the transitions between the different acts that really bothered me, but this was such a fun pilot. I already feel like I've been watching the show for quite some time.
Admittedly, it is only now that I am actually compelled by the story. I am also very confused about everything especially the track and field girls' respective identities. I think the only thing that I can actually follow is that Ryo is taking advantage of his childhood friend.
My mom hates Bubblegum for reasons I couldn't understand until this episode.
This would've been better earlier in the series before we know that Bubblegum is kinda unsympathetic/married to her work and may or may not have a thing with Marcy. Jealous Finn was funny and adorable too.
This episode made me feel so many emotions
I have so much appreciation for Tenzin and Katara; they're so patient and supportive. I dislike Korra less now. Her vision(?) is so creepy.
I also don't really like what they added to the Avatar lore.
Serena and Vanessa are annoying. Rufus is as sweet as ever. Blair and Chuck's foreplays are kinda hot. That's it.
What is up with Chuck's storyline ??
I feel Bryn, Bex, and Lily.
When I was younger, The Puppetmaster was the creepiest episode of Avatar, and this one was unremarkable at worst. Now that I am older though, it is this episode that really sends chills down my spine.
I am convinced that Barry wanting to take up acting after walking into that class and hanging out with the other students feels kind of sudden (despite him already being bored/wondering if there's more to his life than being a hitman). His confrontation with Gene after the class was also so strange to me because I don't get what Gene was trying to pull and why he thought Barry was doing an improv (I guess the stuff he said did sound crazy).
I liked the first episode though. There were funny moments, and I really liked that scene at the end!
I really expected Ryuk to sound like Grover. The scene where Light was just writing names was so intense with all his brandishing and flourishing; you would think that it would be a guy playing the grand piano especially with that chosen music in the background.
