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,…
Some of you may know that I reviewed the first season of To Your Eternity episodically. The links at the bottom of this post would probably have clued you in. So naturally, I wanted to continue for season 2. The first season of To Your Eternity was uneven. It had some great highs, a few…
One of the great things about Halloween is that you get to dress up. Dressing up is tons of fun! Some of us wiser otaku have learned not to wait for Haloween to cosplay but for the rest, we at least have this one day to pretend to be animated characters! In the past, I…
It’s official, season 2 of To Your Eternity has been announced! It’s currently scheduled to air in the fall of 2022 so we have some time to rest up our weary hearts. Because season 1 was quite the ride. We laughed, we bawled our eyes out in our living room in a less than graceful…
I don’t know if I should be admitting this but Hayase and I, we think alike! Not the being in love with Fushi part. He seems like a nice…thing, but we hardly know each other and I don’t see Fushi in that way. But the Fushi killing her then turning into her part. I also…
I just realized that we’re at episode 18 of To Your Eternity. Somehow, I let the episodes slide by and lost count despite reviewing them every week. And episode 18 means that we only have 2 more episodes to go before the end of the season. That’s too bad. And it’s too bad because it…
Was it just me or was this episode of To Your Eternity not very…pretty. Like are we seeing the bottom of the funding bin? Did they have a rush and have to subcontract some of the animations this week? The art was just so wildly inconsistent that it actually became distracting to me. I do…
I think I know To Your Eternity well enough now to know one thing: Tonari’s pretty much as good as dead. She got a ridiculously angsty backstory, they might as well be measuring her for a coffin right now. Not that she’s likely to get something as nice as a coffin. You know what I…
To Your Eternity is an early contender for the best new anime of 2021. Considering that I had been waiting for this anime since mid-2020, it makes me very happy to be able to say that. This said the competition is stiff. I’m having a very good anime year and I’m there are still loads…
I’m starting to really dig the narrated recaps at the begining of episodes. The fact that they are biased just adds such a great edge to everyting. And they often have some really great lines. This week, the line that struck me was that Fushi was like an arrow without a bow. I did a…
There was no new episode of To Your Eternity last week and it sort of left a hole in my week. I’ve gotten used to spending a little time alongside Fushi and it’s just not the same when he’s not around. I guess I’m going to have one more manga t read once the season…
I usually watch To Your Eternity as it airs, which for me means Monday evenings, and I review it right after. That’s just what works best for me, while it’s all fresh in my mind. But we’re Tuesday. I wasn’t feeling up to watching it yesterday. I was tired and I just wanted something happy….
