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…
Chainsaw Man is, believe it or not, a slow burn. You know that part when we found out the world was full of devils and the main character died and came back as a devil/human/chainsaw hybrid. We also met a fun and sexy blood devil that betrayed the main character for a cat… Yeah, all…
Kirishima is a name that is both known and feared in Japon’s underworld. The first lieutenant of the Sakuragi Yakuza Family has well earned his nickname of The Demon of Sakuragi. He might not be great at remembering names or faces or running simple errands, but if you need someone to keep your rivals in…
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!
Guys, remind me to not read the manga first I’m also going to do episode reviews of a show. I guess that’s the wrong way around. By the time I decide to do episode reviews, it will be too late. You know what, I,m sure you’ll figure it out. I’m counting on you!
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…
I can’t quite explain this. Every week, I watch Chainsaw Man and enjoy it. I think it looks good while I’m watching it. Maybe not my favourite visuals but there is definitely a flair to the production. Then the episode ends and I start sorting through the screencaps that were taken automatically. Without fail, every…
Hoshitani and the boys finally made it to their second year at Ayanagi Academy’s prestigious musical department. Now that the guys have learned how to work together and the members of the Kao Council have all graduated and moved on to bigger things, it’s going to be smooth sailing up ahead, right? exactly. Just because…
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…
Last week I divided up all my screencaps because the episode went through so many visual changes that when you grouped them all together, they lost their impact. This sort of visual evolution adds a sense of movement to the episode. This week it’s the complete opposite. All my screencaps look like they could be…
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.
Even though we’re almost halfway through the season (boy this season is just flying by, isn’t it?), in many ways it feels like Chainsaw Man is just starting. This is the first episode where it doesn’t seem like something new is going to start next week. It feels like the roots of a plotline that’s…
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,…
Are you guys starting to get a feel for this show yet? That was episode 4 of 12, we’re a third of the way through. I’m starting to think that we won’t be getting through the Public Safety Arc in just one season. In fact, I hope we don’t. I wouldn’t mind if the anime…

His whole life he has chased after a sound, his grandfather’s sound specifically. A crisp, imposing shamisen sound like a wild spring breaking through winter. But now his grandfather’s gone, and he…
