I have to give it to To Your Eternity, even after 32 episodes, it can still surprise me. Just when I think I know where it’s going with something it veers in a completely different direction. For example, at the end of the last episode, we were told the citizens of Renril would find out…
Musashi and Kojirou have been friends since they were kids. More than friends, brothers really. After Musashi lost his own family, Kojirou’s father took him in and raise them both to become kind, upstanding, and brave young men who will protect those in need. But life isn’t that easy. Kojirou’s father is gone now. Kojirou…
Fushi’s battle plan is coming into focus and it’s an ambitious one. An overly ambitious one. If I know this show at all, I’m thinking that Fushi trying to defend an entire city this size all by himself and stubbornly refusing help is most likely going to end in disaster. Hopefully, he’ll come to his…
It’s the start of a new anime season and I’m all excited. I’m always excited when the new season starts even though I wait until most shows are done airing before starting them since I’m too impatient for weekly watches. Well, there are a lot of shows from last season I am really looking forward…
Thinking back on the very first episode of To Your Eternity, I have the feeling that this is one of the sows that has changed the most through the seasons. Not in a chaotic way where you wonder how it got to this point. It was all smooth and organic. But honestly, I don’t think…
Ok, I think To Your Eternity needs to spell out its ground rules a little better. I understand that ultimately Fusgi is a very unreliable narrator, not because f any malicious intent but simply because he doesn’t know or understand a lot of things. Despite that though, I still think that if a story is…
Ha! To Your Eternity usually doesn’t let me get my way but for one my wishes were granted. And I’m not sure how to feel about it. Cause they were childish, unreasonable wishes. Oh wait never mind, I do know how to feel about it. Happy and a little smug! Unfortunately, this episode also raises…
I now remeber just how harsh To Your Eternity can be. I think that because Fushi is immortal and can turn into other characters, at least physically, the writer feels ok with just massacaring everyone else. You just shouldn’t get attached to anyone. I had been lulled into a fals sense of security but I’m…
Alvin is a great adventurer. Great is sort of a relative term. But he is a veteran…rookie. Apparently, that exists. And he’ll impress you with how surprisingly weak he can be. But he’s not a bad guy. He tries hard at times and he really wants to be an adventurer. And now he finally has…
It turns out the official title of this episode is “Betrayed”. I swear I had already picked my post title when I saw it. It’s just that this episode was very specific and there’s little else you could call it. Except for maybe “Luck”. Buckle in, this episode was quite a ride!
Warp is a blonde boy with a hole in his belly, a hole in his memories, and maybe even a hole in his heart. He just doesn’t know who he is anymore or what he wants other than getting his memories back, maybe. And in a world where both bodies and experiences can be bought…
Well, they’re just rewriting all the rules in To Your Eternity all of a sudden. I’m not against it. It’s certainly ambitious to introduce so many paradigm-shifting ideas in the span of two episodes but it can be invigorating. This said it can also turn out to be a disaster if they don’t know how…
Hmmmm… I said it before, there is something about To Your Eternity that’s just different. The way it treats its characters, the way it acknowledges morality but never quite commits to anything, and the way it insists on the mundane horrors when the story is full of supernatural. And it doesn’t always stick the landing, but…
Hmmm. I’m perplexed. This season of To Your Eternity is not going in the direction I expected. If nothing else, I have to give it to this show for not bowing to convention. I’m not ready to say whether this is a good thing or not.
Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this episode. In fact, I liked it in a lot of ways. I mean fat Fushi is one of my favorite sights and I want a keychain of him. But when it came time to find a title, the only word that came to mind was: useless. Also,…
