FINISHED Astra Lost In Space Episode 12
Wow what a crazy finale! As I had guessed it was longer than a normal episode in order to fit everything cause we needed to see where everyone ended up beyond just returning to Astra. We started the episode though with Charce explaining what the actual history for Astra was and I do have to admit it was a little too convenient that Vixia passed the real history from King to King but at the same time it makes sense cause you know with something huge like that someone would have said something cause secrets never stay hidden. Last week I had mentioned it was super confusing that just 12 years would be enough to rewrite history which is why I was super into the explanation that the government just pushed everyone back a hundred years so that it was actually 2163 not 2063. It also explains the smaller population on Astra cause duh humans are the worst so when it came out that Earth was going to be destroyed, of course everyone fought and killed half of the population! It also gives a great reason as to why none of the surviving people ever mentioned Earth again cause it's like a new chance and all that. It was a little fast to have all the parents arrested so quickly but I get it cause the show is more about the kids though I did like that the King of Vixia got a special arrest cause he was possibly one of the worst. I even liked where everyone ended up though I do wish the show had talked about what Luca and Aries did after graduating. Kanata, Zack and Charce went back to space though it seems like Zack went back to science/tech while Charce became King of Vixia too, Yunha became a singer, Ulgar a journalist, and Quitterie a model. Zack and Quitterie got married and Kanata and Aries it seems are about to. I even liked the idea of naming their first daughter Seira! Overall I really ended up enjoying this show. It was darker than I expected it to be at the start and it was definitely more emotional!
Titans Season 2 Episode 3
Ugh damn this cliffhanger! I'm loving Deathstroke as the villain cause I love when we have smart villains! I knew from when he mentioned thinning the herd that he would end up getting either Jason or Gar but tbh I thought it would be Gar cause at least Jason has enough training to be able to fight. I also know we're trying to save money or whatever and like I get why fight training is good but Gar's whole thing is to become animals so if he should be training, it should be about shapeshifting! Despite that I do love the friendship between Jason and Gar and even the not-so-great relationship between Jason and Rachel. It makes our characters feel real unlike last season where they felt like caricatures. Even the dialogue is snappier! I am interested in the fact that the show has really not shown us much Gar and Rachel bonding time and I wonder if that's cause they're shelving the romance due to the age difference (which we literally all had a problem with last year) but then again he's still the one who can pull her out of her darkness so maybe they're just turning it from boiling over to subtle which I approve of. I also completely get Jason's irritation with Dick cause it definitely feels like now that the old Titans are back, the new ones aren't needed anymore and I really want to know what happened in the past! I'm not usually a big fan of the reluctant hero trope so the older Titans being so against coming to Titans Tower was the only part of the episode I didn't like. It's strange cause as much as I like them, I also low key want them to leave. Our team is big enough already with the trio, Dick and Kory plus we know Connor is on his way. I also definitely liked the Kory stuff we got and at first glance it seems that this version of Starfire's backstory is different than the normal but as I thought about it more, the original might still be true. All we know is that Kory asked if her parents called her home to be queen but the guard said it was Blackfire and that if she doesn't take her crown that many will suffer making me think that maybe this is a Blackfire plot. It does feel a little out of character though to have Kory not care at all about the fate of her people which makes me wonder why they didn't go with the normal story of having Kory be exiled.
Next week's episode has a screenshot of Aqualad which I'm pretty excited for! I do know that this show's Aqualad is Garth and not Kaldur which is interesting and I'm going to assume that he'll be more of a one-off despite how much I love him and an old Titan rather than a new one just based on age and the fact that he's not on the season poster.
FINISHED Fruits Basket (2019) Season 1 Episode 25
Okay this was a finale!!! I was sobbing and sobbing like a baby once again at the top of the episode cause I always find emotional family moments make me cry the most and Kyo and Kazuma are just the absolute sweetest! Kazuma is an angel for taking in Kyo when he had nobody and they loved each other with their whole hearts but both were afraid to admit it cause Kazuma thought he was being selfish cause Kyo had a biological father that was still alive while Kyo thought that he was too much of a burden to foist onto Kazuma when Kazuma was already taking care of him. I loved being able to hear each of their thoughts about each other and I was so afraid that both would continue hiding their feelings but thankfully they were able to admit the truth and my heart grew three sizes! I always assumed that Kyo's true form must be an open secret to the zodiacs but Yuki was obviously shocked so I wonder if it's only the younger generation that don't know (so like Hatori and Ayame know) or if no one but Akito, Shigure and Kagura know (Shigure cause he's always with Akito and Kagura on accident.) Yuki and Kagura's responses to what happened were interesting cause while Kagura's was understandable, I really couldn't tell what was up with Yuki. Kagura might have simply been jealous cause no matter how many times she said she didn't care about Kyo's true form, he only seemed to believe Tohru so in her eyes it must be obvious how much he loves Tohru. Yuki's reaction however was strange. He mentioned needing to keep it a secret otherwise his anger and hatred would boil over and I'm like why would you be angry with Kyo? We also met another zodiac I'm pretty sure though it was just a quick shot and this one was one I didn't know from the 2001 anime. She mentioned something about needing to break a curse and that Shigure was the one to do it. I wonder if the way to break the Sohma curse is through love of some kind though if it's love, then Hatori and Kana should have broken it so maybe it requires a zodiac to love the "God" of the zodiac?
Overall I really really loved this season of Fruits Basket and I already can't wait until the next! We did kinda get a release date for season 2 but only so far as to say that it'll be coming out in 2020. In my heart of hearts I'd like to hope that it'll be Winter of 2020 so we don't have to wait too long but I have a feeling it might end up being Summer of 2020 based on how much our characters talked about summer in this finale which ugh!
