Fair. And exposes how little I know my cousin. She's into musical theatre and thats about as far as my knowledge goes.

No worries if that doesn't help! This is a grasp at straws!

I remember this bit in the manga. It very much sets the tone for the rest of the season to be honest.

Are you going to watch along? Might be the last show for a while that has the opportunity for some big forum group reaction posts together.

It's on my seasonal list so possibly. I tend to watch stuff in a set pattern though and I know what happens up to probably around the 1/3 to 1/2 point anyway, so see how we go.

Needless to say it's gonna be hype.

Golden Kamuy s3 continues to ramp up the intensity week on week. The snowballing is impressive as heck. It wasn't one of my stronger shows at the start of the season but the succession of holy shit moments at this point.

And then there was this exchange:

Spoiler

Sugimoto: Ah, your eyelid is stuck to my button, Asirpa. Don't pull away or you'll tear off your eyelid! Shiraishi!
Shiraishi: Hmm? What?
Sugimoto: Do you need to piss?
Shiraishi: Yeah, I have a full bladder.
Sugimoto: Piss on her face.
Asirpa: ...WHAT

I was howling. Consider how serious and fraught the tone was for the entire episode, the fact that it can transition from bleak, harrowing drama to zany what the fuck comedy without missing a beat and without coming out lesser for the wackiness is super impressive.

Lot of shows wrapping up next week. See what my final scores come in at I guess.

"How horrible, how terrible it must have been hanging out with those paradisians, Reiner!"
"Yes, they were absolute devils. This one time, someone was eating a potato..."

I cackled, that scene was amazing.

The perspective shift to Reiner as major POV is definitely interesting because you can see exactly how wracked by the trauma of the last years he is and how he's clearly doubting the rightness of his mission, but continuing anyway because it's that or be executed and replaced.

Don't click this next one if you haven't read past Manga issue 27/8

Spoiler

the fact Sasha is referenced specifically there is a fucking flag. Her death in the manga was one hell of an unexpected moment.

[Serenity]

The debut episode of VLADLOVE has been released via the official YouTube page, with subtitles. The only reason I know this is because Lovebites have done the theme song. They even appear in the opening titles

[LinearPhilosopher]

Finally managing to get caught up on everything (expanse, mandalorian, attack on titan)


Golden Kamuy Season 3 Episode 9

Spoiler

NO WAYYYY!!!!!!!! THAT BOMB AT THE END!!!!!!!!. IT WAS TSURUMI???????

I did not see that coming!

2 more episodes and i am up to date.

[D'rek]

Haikyuu Season 4 ended. The last game dragged on a bit, perhaps, but the last 2-3 episodes really finished things very nicely with lots of big surprising moments you can rewatch again and again, and then they ended the season with a hype hook into the match for season 5. That said, season 4 got to be first-half summer training, second-half tournament matches... but season 5 will have to start with the next tournament match, so I wonder if/how they'll be able to balance it out.

Attack on Titan final ep 3:

Spoiler

Holy hell that shot with Reiner and the rifle

Not a lot of new info or plot today, but still really cool seeing season 1 from the other side, so to speak.

Eren at the end there looks very cool, but also very dead inside. Preview seems like Reiner and Eren are going to run into each other next episode in the city!

The perspective switch to Reiner showing how he went from an idealistic, zealous soldier to a PTSD-wracked shell that questions everything he knew but can't speak out against it is really well done. As to what comes next, well. I'm looking forward to it!

Mhmm, exactly.

I'm intrigued by this last titan they've teased and haven't shown yet - the hammer titan. I guess since the five Marleyan titans are all getting some degree of relatability/remorse/etc development the hammer titan is going to be the final big boss they need to defeat, to some degree.
