What Shows Am I Watching This Week?

Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?

Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 11

Every week I watch this anime and think to myself how much I adore it. It's not as laugh-out-loud bust a gut funny anymore but I think that's mostly just cause I've gotten used to this show now! Having said that I did laugh so hard when it was an episode about getting to know your familiars cause Iruma's familiar is of course one of the teachers which is always amazing. We learned this week that the familiars take the form that best suits their master so course cute little Iruma caused Kalego to become a cute fuzzy white demon form! I was living for him being angry out of his mind but also having to play along with the lesson cause the new teacher was reading Kalego's book on how to be a teacher and he didn't want to ruin the lesson. I tried so hard not to scream when he had to play fetch with that Frisbee cause it was literally the most horrific for Kalego who walked over to that Frisbee like it was a death sentence! Seriously the more we get familiar Kalego, the better! The second part of the episode had to do with Iruma learning about Battlers which is the demon version of clubs though I'm curious to find out why they're hunting for first years. Do first years not really want to join Battlers or is it supposed to be more of a hide-and-seek type situation though Iruma didn't really follow that?

Special 7: Special Crime Investigation Unit Episode 10

I feel like I've missed an episode or something cause why all of a sudden is Public Safety against Special 7 to the degree that the members of the team have to hide from the police? Like I mean we've seen for a while that Special 7 isn't respected as a task force but that feels like small potatoes compared to what's happening now. We haven't seen anything to hint that Warlock or anyone from Nine has snuck their way into Public Safety and it also can't be a method of blaming Warlock's escape on Special 7 cause Public Safety turned before the fake Warlock trial so what's going on? On another note I was right about Seiji being half a dragon but as it turned out Warlock actually wanted Seiji to be his puppet like Luka is now instead of being a sacrifice to gain the dragon power like I thought but somehow Seiji ended up stealing all the dragon power that Warlock was supposed to get through the airport attack which pissed Warlock off. I don't particularly understand why or how he stole the power but I wonder if it's cause Seiji is good. This brings me back to the question from a few weeks ago where I was wondering whether dragons are sentient and can make their own decisions and whether they're good or bad. I do like that Ichinose doesn't blame Seiji for what happened and I'm sure that when Nijou finds out, neither will he. I do hope they're able to save Luka cause it does look like it was some sort of mind wipe or mind control thing cause when Nijou was talking to him, Luka was getting some of his memories back!

Stand My Heroes: Piece Of Truth Episode 11

Omg talk about a twist! Is Miyase the bad guy after all?? I had completely been on the Kujo is the bad guy train for a while cause he just seems so sketch and though I did wonder this week if one of the guys in Kujo's home was the real bad guy who framed Kujo for the drugs, I seriously never suspected Miyase which makes him such a good actor! I do wonder how he's related to what happened in the past and whether he has a connection with Hattori's old partner cause there's no way that everything we learned in the past few weeks about the Anonymous Case is pointless! I'm still waiting to figure out whether Maki is the one with the proof that we need and what the proof could be. With the finale airing next week I don't know if there is enough time for another twist or turn but I feel like we still aren't close enough to the truth! Most of the episode felt like we were treading water until the end and now it feels like we're back to square one. I still do think it's silly that Rei told Kujo's men everything cause it's like girl what if you saying all that tips off the real bad guy who probs thought that he was in the clear after Kujo got arrested?? I also really did like the conversation between Kujo and Aoyama cause it showed us how different the two men are. Both are from wealthy families that were involved in Plus all those years ago but while Kujo is of the mind to just cover up the past and prevent it from happening in the future, Aoyama is actively trying to do more good in the world and that's why he's my favorite member of this show without a doubt.

The Mandalorian Season 1 Episode 7

This was the penultimate episode and it was just as tense as I expected it to be! I loved the cliffhanger we ended on and I still can't help but wonder why oh why Mando won't go to the New Republic for help! There are clearly tons of the Empire still floating around (and duh it was a whole community not just two people like the movies want you to believe) and if they want Baby Yoda the smart move is to take it somewhere the Empire can't follow whether that's directly to Coruscant or some other Core or Mid Rim world. It low key sucks though cause we know that the drudges of the Empire stay in the Outer Rim and eventually form the First Order and the New Republic falls within like 30 years so even though I say that Mando should go for help I'm not sure how much help they can get anyway. I did love that we saw the return of characters from earlier episodes including that female shock trooper who I loved and the guild leader who's now on our side cause apparently Baby Yoda can use the Force to heal. Someone on the internet joked that Baby Yoda might use the Dark Side cause of how much killing he's watching Mando do and this week he tried to Force Choke someone and suddenly it doesn't feel that much of a joke anymore. I wonder if this new Empire bad guy will finally shed some light on Baby Yoda and whether he's a clone or a real child and where he came from and whether he's from a specific alien species.

Assassin's Pride Episode 11

I feel like I'm not going to understand what in the world the House Of Shicksal is after and why the man of the house is forcing all the other royal families to play on until the show explains it to me in great detail. Passing the library test apparently told each girl what their mana class was and I'm assuming that being like yeah we stole some of Melida's blood will be looked down on by society but showing up with her library book certification will be better. I'm not sure I understand the big picture though cause it's like while the girls took Melida's certification, the rest of the school was supposed to be murdered by a dark guild and I'm sitting here like what the hell! Unfortunately with next week being the finale for this show I have a feeling that I won't get the answers I want! Why is proving Melida's a bastard so important to the nobility? Melida's father would have been one thing but seriously it's no one else's business! Will we ever find out who Melida's real dad is? Probs not. At the very least I liked that Williams Gin from earlier in the season came back to help cause Kufa really seems to have a way with the lycanthropes that keep being sent to him! I wonder if this show is supposed to have a multi-season arc cause I just can't see the whole story wrapped up cause even now we're still setting up new things like Kufa's boss apparently having a cure to lycanthropy which Williams wants.

Harley Quinn Season 1 Episode 4

This was a great episode to build out the DC world of Harley Quinn a lot more so that we're outside the Batman world and though a lot of them were just cameos, it was great anyway! We finally met Superman and Lois, saw a little more of Wonder Woman and caught a glimpse of Aquaman. It's making the world feel so much more lived in and I'll for it! I loved that the plot of this week's episode was that Harley wanted a nemesis to get more news screen time and at the same time so did Damian cause everyone else on the Teen Titans has one. This is actually really hilarious to think about cause when you're watching something like Teen Titans you don't even think about how completely weird it is that a grown man like Slade is fighting a bunch of kids but this show really spelled it out for us and it's kinda insane in the funniest way and I low key wish that Slade had popped up at some point when Harley was screaming about how her nemesis wasn't a kid to be like yo there's nothing wrong with fighting kids! We also met King Shark and he's going to be joining Harley's squad and I'm also low key curious about whether Ivy will end up moving out of her current apartment cause I already love it so much. She's the best part of this show and I died when she went on tv and was like I'm not a supervillain, I'm a eco-terrorist while Kite Man sat in the bar and fangirled over her. Boy same.
