Last week, I talked about how 3-gatsu made me laugh and snivel at the same time. This time, it made me clamp my mouth shut for the entire episode. A little caveat here, because I still feel the emotions freshly after rewatching the episode, and I have a hunch this post will come out as …
Flip Flappers – Episode 11
But I still need you, Salt! Please, run away with us! Thank you for being with me all these years. Blegh. For the record, I watched this episode 3 (and a half) times, as well as episode 4 because why the hell not. That's an indication of how disturbed I am with this swing of …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 11
STOOOOOOOOOP!!!! If there's one thing I realized from this episode, it's that I'm a bigger JJ fan that I thought I imagined. It isn't exactly out of the realms of possibility that JJ will choke in his performance -- and, well, it's probably the most natural outcome that we could've predicted -- but still, seeing …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 9
I'm known for my softy side, and I often find myself cursing the League of Onion Cutting Ninjas every time a poignant scene plays out, even with the case of the most mundane stuff like a simple pan of the scenery, or a gentle pat in the back 'Thank you' gesture made by a character. However, …
Flip Flappers – Episode 10
Hopefully, Flip Flappers won't close its curtains without a good bang. Rather, I hope Flip Flappers would prove my gut feeling wrong: that its finale is going to be second only to Euphonium's burgeoning emotional climax. While my fears were founded from the thought that we would be left with a discombobulated mess of an ending, …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 10
And that, my friends, is how I met your... uh, mother? I just love this episode. And as of this writing, I honestly don't know what to elaborate and why, granted that episode 10 is one of the most fun and entertaining episode I've seen this season, if not, all year round. Now, I guess I'd …
3-gatsu no Lion – Episode 8
My week wouldn't feel complete without 3-gatsu so yeah, its return is yet another good news on top of that damn The Last of Us sequel announcement. To be honest, I wasn't feeling the hots during the start of this episode considering where we've left off from the previous one. Though the arc/chapter itself was interesting, having …
Flip Flappers – Episode 9
A departure from its usual rendition of quirky and cryptic Pure Illusions, episode 9 takes us into a straightforward yet equally fun presentation. I want to applaud Flip Flappers for its ability in making a setting simple, all the while keeping ample nuances to make it interesting and enjoyable to watch. The vast swath of white from this week's Pure …
Yuri!!! On Ice – Episode 9
It's happening, bois.
Flip Flappers – Episode 8
8 episodes in, and Flip Flappers doesn't seem to be running out of ideas. In fact, I feel like revelations are having an adverse effect in making this show even more obscure. While this episode lacks in symbolic depth as with its previous counterparts, episode 8 makes up for it with sheer sakuga display. I'm not really …
