Episode 21 of MHA Season 5
Was not that bad
Weighing the episode overall, I was pretty satisfied with the Toga content while noticing where Season 5 lacked
Impact
Some character art and bland backgrounds make some of the impact that the scene tried to display dull
Music good tho
By re-reading the chapters before the episode, I ound it was okay but I noticed some scenes' art looked good but the rest felt flat (scene 3 has more detailed background guy tho)
Everyone talked about the Shigaraki scene but I will say the scene distortion was a good effect
The first ten minutes or less were definitely not impressive
Minus the Meta-Liberation Army backstory, which was good, the start felt a lil boring plus the fight with the Deika citizens barely had any punch
The episode picks up much later but it still has issues
In Toga's backstory
Some storyboarding choices were pretty good (red bird scene)
I love the painting-like feel they gave for that Curious and Toga shot, just like in the manga
Also the voice-acting helps convey why Toga refused to "give in" to Curious
She was happy the way she is
This was the best part of the episode, though I do admit the part where To-chaco was moving through people, animation good but art was a lil meh (wish the last shot stayed and had more impact) but I liked it
The falling and floating stuff was pretty fun
So, within expectation
To end this
I really had fun with Geten vs Dabi
The way the ice moved around was enjoyable even if it was brief
Toga's scene had better music
Uhm...in general this episode was a mixed bag but I kinda like the good it was able to do
Just wish the impact was there in some places

The Original Sin of Bleach - The Sun is Dead

(A thread) Image
The revelation of the Soul King lore in the TYBW anime opened my eyes to the full story of Bleach happening both in macro- and microcosm
Ichigo's life is the story of the life and death of the universe, as if the creation of Man is the eternal present retelling of Creation itself Image
This thread shows the original state of the Bleach world:
@radman_v2 notes: Bleach is a pantheistic world, the inner world of Adyneus (Adonai/LORD or Gnostic Archon of the Sun), as if all beings once existed as part of God's "soul sleep" (a Bleach term)

Fave part about #BleachTYBW lore is how much Kubo recontextualizes everything with Ep 28
Yhwach does feel like a Zanpakuto Spirit in relation to his dad, who divided an infinite ocean world of chaos while Yhwach cries as Zangetsu does for Ichigo
Helpless to stop the Original Sin Image
Image
The first time we meet Zangetsu, his name was erased by Ichibe
This might not even be the name Yhwach but possibly Yhwach's birth name as Reio's godly son
The black on incarnate Yhwach is Ichibe's doing, erasing his name and meddling in reincarnation by making him a human Image
Image
Yhwach and Zangetsu are not merely tied by blood
They are the same
Zangetsu stands on a sword in waiting
Yhwach presents a sword to Ichigo
By himself he cannot act
Yhwach is a Zanpakuto spirit who needs a king
Ichigo is that king, with Hollow-Fullbringer-Quincy-Shinigami essence Image

Attack on Titan
The Final Season
Part 1
The Rewatch Thread

After WIT staff and Araki brought AoT into a wider world
MAPPA staff under Yuichiro Hayashi's direction take on the pressure and challenge of adapting the post-timeskip content and a stronger discourse on war
#AoTVincent Image
Today is the 2nd anniversary of the Final Season
A big day for me
I will be making a live-tweet series per season but as the anniversary of the season that basically immersed me into the anime online community, I needed to skip to this point
#AoTVincent
I will make different threads per episode, as well as links to any blog post I made before as references
Part 1 actually had most of its episodes reviewed on my Hubpages
Also watch out for special thread series in between
Will organize all thread types soon

Episode 374: The Shooting Star Project (Zero Mix)
7/10
The calm after the storm
A dark atmosphere gathers in Soul Society after the dust settles
While bright light is a hollow hole for the bereaved who witness the apathetic Squad Zero claim Ichigo for their plans
#BleachVincent Image
Episode 374 adapts:
Chapter 515: Relics
Chapter 516: Squad Zero (pages 2-6, 9-17)
Chapter 517: The Stairway to Heaven
Chapter 518: The Shooting Star Project (Zero Mix) (pages 1-10, 12-16)
Chapter 519: Hot, Hot, Heat
515 title page
While fast, not much was skipped

Interesting choice to have Unohana not join as she was a veteran from Yamamoto's time
That is not a spoiler. We saw her face last episode
So why was she left behind? Was it so the best healer survives? Even as Kirinji reveals she cannot heal Byakuya et al fully

Bleach Episode 373: Born in the Dark
9.5/10
A turmoil-filled conclusion to the first Wandenreich invasion, mired with a heavy weight of loss and uncertainty
Soul Society beyond repair, its image of protection and Ichigo's confidence broken like his Bankai
#BleachVincent Image
Episode 373 adapts:
Chapter 511: Die Standing
Chapter 512: The Stand Ablaze
Chapter 513: The Dark Moon Stroke
Chapter 514: Born in the Dark
The extensions of the anime not only improve pacing but enrich the material of 511 and 514 to a surprising degree
#BleachVincent ImageImageImageImage
The first scene is original and I love it
The lack of voices is perfect as history is played through the dated film and the Sagisu choral track played in Episode 371
The song sounds heroic but the lyrics speak of the ruthlessness of Yamamoto and the original Gotei

The Beast Titan: All Men, Imitations of Apes

(A thread)

Contains manga spoilers Image
The start of Season 2 centers on Zeke Yeager, whose presence changed the entire story in more ways than one
The thread title is based on a quote from Bleach Volume 48: GOD IS DEAD and shares a thematic parallel to the subtle commentary of the quote and the volume’s figure, Aizen Image
Men being imitations of apes does not literally mean men act like apes
The second line is the answer: “All gods, imitations of men” means the gods we worship are a reflection of who we are and want
The Beast embodies both lines as an Ape due to its real unique feature, variation ImageImageImage
