Astra Lost In Space Episode 11
Well shit this episode went a lot darker than I expected it to! I mean it's one thing to say that the whole point of this show is to kill the kids but it was another to watch Kanata actually lose his arm! This was the penultimate episode with the finale airing next week and I suppose it has pretty much wrapped everything up even though part of me thinks that one episode to solve everything back on Astra seems to be a little too hopeful. Maybe it'll be another hour long special like the premiere was? Every week when we learn about the background of our characters I'm constantly like okay so this one grew up the worst but I think truly Charce might have been the saddest. It's one thing to be ignored or hated but it's a whole other realm of horribleness to actually raise a child to know that he's nothing but a vessel meant to die in the end. I mean what kind of mental torture must they have inflicted for him to have no personal thoughts of his own and to want to die! We also finally figured out what Aries's deal was and it was simply that she was Seira's clone which just feels so weird to me cause why single her out in the opening song and everything if all our characters were clones? It also doesn't sit well with me cause I really feel like Charce and Aries should have spent more time together if Charce really did see her as his second chance at being something more than an empty vessel though that might be me shipping again. On second thought maybe not so much cause biologically Charce is Aries's dad. But like I said the biggest shock was that Kanata lost his arm and I assume that there must be a way to either grow it back or fit a cool prosthetic but it just felt so crazy to watch an anime where they pulled no punches! I gasped out loud when we saw his arm just randomly floating in space!
Titans Season 2 Episode 2
This episode was a ton of fun and man oh man was it leagues more interesting, better paced and better written than most of season 1! I had a feeling I was going to love this show once it settled and though there still are some kinks in the show, overall I'm feeling more positive about it. I do admit that I don't entirely understand why this show feels the need to constantly introduce new characters when we have plenty to play with but I guess that's just a part of being a DCTV show (looking at you Young Justice!) I was really glad we slowed things down in the Tower so that our kids could just have time to interact with each other cause all last season we were go go go and cause we barely saw them talk to each other it was hard to believe what the show was trying to sell us about them being a family. I love that Jason and Gar aren't the best of friends but Gar's such a sweetheart that he's trying and that he and Rachel are still really close. Dick telling Jason that the others look up to him as a way to get him to stop wanting to leave was hilarious too. We also met Slade's daughter Rose though from what I remember about her, she's a villain called Ravager and it's actually Slade's son Joey who becomes a hero so that makes me wonder if she'll end up being a spy in the Titans in the place of Terra or if the show will change it up and make her be a hero. I also have a feeling that the Titans ended up being the reason for one of Slade's sons dying whether that's Grant or Joey which is why he hates them so much. I love the way the show has split up our characters with Dick taking care of the kids, Kory and Donna working together and Dawn and Hank trying to quit the life cause it allows us to see our characters and give them something to do. I do think it's a bit too early to throw Kory's backstory into the mix cause seriously this show needs to stop throwing a hundred storylines at us each season but at the same time I got so excited when that random Tamaranian appeared. I wonder if the show will use Kory's comic backstory or mix it up.
Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 24
Well I'm sobbing like a damn baby as I write this review. I was able to control my feelings for most of the episode until the closing song started playing and then suddenly it was nothing but tears! I really didn't expect the whole of Kyo's true form arc to happen in one episode cause this really would have been a beautiful end to the season. I have to be honest cause in my heart of hearts I never truly understood what kind of response Kyo wanted when others were confronted with his true form. Like part of me understands that because his mom pretended like nothing was wrong that he doesn't trust the words of others. She was actually terrified and horrified by it which is why she locked him up and made sure that he always wore his rosary but like at the same time you would think that someone like Kagura who knows his true form but stays around anyway would be what he wanted. I can't imagine that Tohru saying that she was scared but wants him in her life was so different than what he faced with the other zodiacs but it must be cause Tohru saying it was probably the only time that something snapped in him and made him want to start healing. Is it as simple as the fact that he is in love with her though he doesn't know it yet? Having said all that, it was still heartbreaking to see that all his bluster and intensity was hiding such a broken soul. All he wanted was to die but he didn't want to actually do it himself. It was even worse seeing all the Sohmas whisper about how he got his mother killed and ugh when Akito called him disgusting I wanted to punch the man! I do hope that during the rest of the season that he is able to truly come to terms with his true form and I really want to see how the other zodiacs feel about it cause if the show wants us to believe that Tohru is different, we need to see that the others aren't so accepting as well.
The finale for season 1 is airing next week and I'm already itching for season 2! I wish we knew when it was coming out and how many episodes it was cause you know your girl is going to be counting down the days! I've only seen the 2001 anime so after this everything will be brand new for me!
