The way Jinshi craves ALL of Maomao and wants to leave no room for misunderstanding is so freaking cute. Neck bite scene added years to my life

Spring is a time for change and new beginnings and arguably no one felt it as much as Azuma as she worried about being able to see Taira before and after school every day with their new schedules, she’s so freaking cute 😭

As if Taira would ever forgo an opportunity to escape to the place he feels most comfortable, next to Azuma. Notice how over the last few times they’ve rode together on the train, they’ve started sitting closer to one another symbolizing their relationship deepening! They’re damn near on top of each other at this point, lol. Just shows you how that artificial barrier Taira tried putting up has nearly completely disappeared. She’s really his person ❤️

Azuma’s smile and pep in her step after Taira told her they’d keep seeing each other is sooo freaking cute. She’s not even worrying about asking for more, just being together and talking about everyday things is more than enough for her because she knows that’s what he needs most right now. That’s true love.

“I have to make sure you don’t get sick of me”

Girl that boy ain’t going nowhere, be so serious, he’s all yours. It’s so funny how all the girls in this show just constantly worried about the boys not liking them as much or getting tired of them and the whole time the guys are even more down bad for the girls 😭

This is normal high school teenaged stuff, though so it makes sense. Very delicate and insecure time in your life. Obviously no one can predict the future, but I like all 3 couples’ chances of staying together long term because imo the most important indicator of long term success is growth compatibility and all 3 couples really respect and encourage one another, there’s no egos and they communicate well like Tani here as he reassures Miyu.

Inevitably, it won’t always be all sunshine and rainbows, but as long as you remember the qualities that drew you to the person in the first place and communicate with one another, you’ll be able to overcome those obstacles.

Get you somebody that’s willing to get wet in the dolphin splash area for you 🤣

Nishi thought Yamada would be mad about the dolphin show and the whole time he sees it as the honor of a lifetime to spend time with his girl in a place that makes her happy because he’s down so bad for her.🥹

I’m really gonna need Nishi to stop putting herself down and thinking she isn’t worthy of the happiness and love that Yamada is trying to shower her with, I know it’s her first relationship and will take a minute, but cmon girl, that boy is obsessed with you! Doesn’t matter where you want to go, he’ll follow and have a smile on his face while doing it because just seeing the person you love happy and having a good time is all you really need if you truly love them.

They’re on first name basis now too ahhh!! Well, at least Yamada is calling her by her name, will probably take her a little bit of time to do the same, but it’s such a cute start!

“Hurry up and marry me” oh??? They not even being subtle with the gay in this arc, I’m loving it 😭

I gotta give them credit for subverting my expectations because I fully expected this to be the classic yuri bait scenario where it’s obvious Gyari has feelings for Kuromu and is just hurt that they went they’re separate ways as idols, but they left zero room for interpretation here. Gyari wants Kuromu back and BAD. Normalize lesbians coming out and having performance battles for the right to marry each other lmao

[nijigasakilove]

Iruma-kun really for the gays because what do you mean Gyari has a lesbian harem follow her everywhere and she’s only trying to beat Kuromu to get her to marry her, AND we have crossdressing idol Iruma??😭 this is gonna be one of my favorite Iruma arcs so far I can tell. Plus idol ameri?? We are sat

All it takes is one mistake..

I’ve been praising Sitara’s meteoric rise among the Mongol aristocracy and how she’s been so surgical and methodical in her networking and quest for revenge, BUT clearly she’s started feeling herself a little too much and got careless. You don’t rise from nothing to being The Great Khatoun for nothing, so it really should’ve gone without saying that Boraqchin is extremely intelligent, cunning and wise. She was married to Genghis Khan ffs, cmon Sitara! She thought she was playing Boraqchin and she was the one being played the whole time.

I’m really worried about Toregene because she’s become very dependent on Sitara, so I wonder how she’ll handle being interrogated without her right hand girl next to her. She has survived among the Mongols for this long, but this is a tad bit different.. being held by arguably the wisest person in the empire.. I need next episode asap.

“until the day when a Digimon like myself can live in harmony with you…” 🥹

No one talk to me because the fact Heliosboamon was so pure and kind that she’d rather disappear than put Asuka and Tomoro in any more danger just for Wong and his henchman to bring she and Asuka back as puppets to fight Tomoro and the others is pissing me OFF. I need Wong to d!e so bad bro and it better be painful, full blown deletion idc.

Again, everything goes back to Asuka being at the center of this story and really the engine that made everything start rolling, which is funny because he’s barely been in the show lol. Idk what the term is for it, but I love when characters’ presence hang over the story for the full length even if they’re not on screen. Wong’s whole Shangri La plan all hinges on Asuka and Heliosboamon doing that dark mega evolution again, but it begs the question just wtf is he planning because they nearly killed half the city when she went out of control for a few seconds..

And here go this Kaito mf desperately trying to be relevant and hang on to the “Kyo the golden’s rival” gimmick. Let it go brother it’s been years, Kyo moved on. He loves Asuka 😭 dude has been trying to get Kyo’s attention forever, hopefully Kyo beats him into next year in the next episode and should be getting the rest of the group’s megas soon as well with only 6 episodes left to go.

[nijigasakilove]

“I’m sorry I said I hate you” 😭😭

Just thinking about the fact Asuka and Tomoro genuinely had no one but each other because the government took their parents and granddad.

Asuka is probably in his early 20s when he basically had to step up and be a father to Tomoro while he’s still growing up himself and he never once complained or made it about him, it was always about his little brother and making sure he had everything he needed. It would’ve been so easy to get angry at the world and Tomoro when he threw those hissy fits, but he just doubled down on his love and was there for his little brother. That’s a real man. I love this dude and I’m gonna cry sm when they finally have that reunion and hug.

My worst fear come true. This is lame to me sorry, the black outfit has way more aura and is unique. Going with the standard redemption arc white outfit because she’s good now is boring. Why can’t we have nice things

Thank God this is back to free us from “Mushoku Tensei” and remind us what a real isekai looks like.

“He’s just temporarily invisible at the moment. He’ll show himself once the snowy season has passed.”

Will never get tired of seeing ram snap and breakdown when she finds out Subaru forgot Rem in the tower. Subaru is her only physical connection to her sister who she herself has forgotten and saving rem has also become her raison d’etre, so for Subaru to forget makes her feel like she’s all alone in this battle and has no one.

However, regardless of if he has his memories or not, Subaru is Subaru no matter what and you can see her go from heartbroken to relieved that even in this form, Subaru has the same determination and resolve that made Rem fall in love with him and Ram look up to him. That smirk as she’s walking away just says it all. She can always count on Subaru to come through when it matters most. Even if all hope seems lost, he’ll find a way. He will always live up to the idealized version of himself that others believe in. Ram will never say it, but he’s her hero too.

The Rivals of Amziah King ✅ 4/5

Arguably the best “save the bees” advert ever. This honey shit gets SERIOUS. For the first 1:45 this was amazing and one of the best films of the year. It lost me in the final 40 minutes. I think the foster daughter’s revenge tour just got a bit too edgy, I didn’t mind the thief and mastermind being punished, but wtf did the wife have to do with this? It’s kind of like a darker version of The Sheep Detectives with Hugh Jackman and makes for a good two part binge watch tbh.

Matthew McConaughey and Angelina LookingGlass were amazing, Angelina really sold the revenge arc well and like I said, I was cool with most of it until the end. Also nice to see Cole Sprouse in something for the first time since I was a kid. His Otis side character was so good.

Besides the acting performances, the musical performances in the film were the other highlight for me. There’s so many good old fashioned country bangers in this, I need the soundtrack immediately. I think it’s a very well directed film and one of the most enjoyable watches of the year. Didn’t feel like 2.5hours at all.

The end of oak street ✅ 3/5

Well, this was my most anticipated film of the second half of summer and.. it was just ok. I loved Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor’s performances and in many ways it plays out like an 80s/90s Spielberg family adventure film that we used to get a lot of, but it just fell flat for me. If you’re wanting some classic Spielberg, though, this is up your alley.

I really would’ve liked to have gotten more lore and explanation as to what caused the time travel instead of some passing wormhole mention, would’ve liked to have gotten more interaction with the forest and areas outside of the neighborhood, it feels very cramped and contained, some more world building, etc. I’m also not a fan of how it ended because what do you mean you let the alternate you’s get isekai’d while you keep the dad to yourself 😭

Some really tense and fun moments, I think the third act is probably the best, but other than that, it’s an ok film. Probably better if you don’t over analyze it like me, I just wanted more than a couples therapy film. After doing It follows, this is definitely a step back for David Robert Mitchell, but, it was really cool to see a metro Detroit setting and so many Michigan references! Definitely feels like it could fit in the wider cloverfield universe as well, not sure if that’s JJ’s plan or not.

“If you hate this world so much, don’t ever come back from the other one”

We love a morally ambiguous MC! On the one hand, Soma was objectively evil and took pride in killing and torturing Motoko’s men, on the other hand, she also did a very evil thing by having him kill his 16 year old son who was innocent. I can’t really blame Soma for trying to get revenge on Motoko by having she and her boyfriend’s teams fight/almost kill each other. But tbf, his son never would’ve been in that position had he not been a terrorist.

Being another public security agent and dating Motoko must be so funny too because she’s never gonna miss taking a chance to brag about her team getting the win lmao. Another really fun episode that went by so quickly.

[nijigasakilove]

If it’s one thing my girl Motoko gon do, it’s pull. She ain’t ever gonna be alone for too long, whether it’s male or female. My bisexual queen 😭

Noticing a trend of her never being able to have a normal fun outing with her partner(s) though. The lesbian orgy got interrupted and now bombed with her man. You’d need a special insurance plan dating her ass

“I wanted to go back to you after I got cleaned up” 💔💔

The concept of having to drag your immortal girlfriend’s mutilated corpse in a blood soaked body bag, oh my God??

I knew a situation like this would inevitably happen, but I can’t believe how casually the teacher handed Sheena, a student, the body bag like it was no big deal, especially when Mimi is meant to be a classified top secret weapon?? Sheena is stronger than most because I would’ve broken down and been traumatized for life here.

What’s even sadder is the fact Mimi only keeps going by thinking about making it home to Sheena, even when she’s in immense pain, Sheena is the only thing on her mind and that pushes her forward

[nijigasakilove]

“Please for as long as possible continue to thrive and blossom” 🥹🥹

True love is selfless and only concerned about the person you love being happy and I just see that so well reflected in Sheena. She is a kind and empathetic person naturally, but when it comes to Mimi literally all she wants is for her to lead a happy life with no expectation of anything in return, almost like the love a mother has for a child. I just have a feeling that won’t get to happen by the end of this. Every episode has had me on edge lately where I feel like some heartbreak is around the corner, I hope I’m wrong.
