You know what, I’m just going to lay it all out right here. My reaction to the season 2 finale of To Your Eternity was a simple one: F it, I liked it! And now you are going to find out why!

There’s a basic formula that’s been used in dramas since the dawn of time. It probably has a name but I just call it “darkest before the dawn”. That’s when the narrative really lays on the despair and angst super thick right before giving our heroes some type of glorious victory. Basically, it’s exactly what…

Remember when I started doing episode reviews cause I figured they would be nice short posts I could just get out in a couple of minutes? No? Yeah, me neither…. Admittedly, I don’t pick series that are very easy to review in just a few words. So that’s on me. To Your Eternity has a…

We play a lot of war games. It’s a thing people have always done. So sometimes, it makes us think that war is a win/fail sort of affair. You just need to meet the conditions and trigger enough flags and there you go, you win. If time runs out, too bad, so sad. But that’s…

March is doing great… Things are certainly happening, aren’t they? So many things! We’ve hardly had time to catch our breath! I guess that’s one way to make the audience relate with Fushi! And yet for all that, he’s still not reunited with March. But things are getting closer. March is his mother after all,…

They are really stretching out Fushi and March’s eventual reunion. And I understand why. The inherent tension in the very idea of it is enough to keep me hooked for the next few episodes. I wonder if there’s a reason we haven’t heard March talk yet. We know that she did from the folks that…

It’s a good thing I have all those screencaps of the episode because those last two seconds drove everything that happened before that right out of my mind. That, my friends, is how you do a cliffhanger. One of the best I have ever seen. And it might not even be a cliffhanger at all…

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…

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…

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!
