FINISHED Fairy Tail Season 8
I don't know if I ever mentioned Fairy Tail on this blog but in case I haven't I guess I should start with saying that this is quite possibly one of my most beloved animes of all time. For many their shounen anime is Naruto or Dragon Ball Z or One Piece but mine has always been Fairy Tail. I've spent countless years loving this show which is funny cause I'm usually not a shounen girl and of course there were highs and lows in watching this and sometimes I wanted to stop but the second the Fairy Tail theme started to swell I was screaming alongside the whole cast which is why it makes it both heartbreaking and heartwarming that this is supposed to be the final season of Fairy Tail. I loved that it felt so compact with little to no filler or wasted time though a part of me does thing is sucks that Acnalogia was our final boss rather than Zeref cause he was just so much more fascinating but in the end I don't entirely mind because both villains' ends came about perfectly. I loved Zeref and Mavis's tragic love story and that in the end the thing to bring an end to Zeref's suffering was true love while Acnalogia was defeated through all of the magic of the kingdom coming together to destroy him proving that humans are stronger than he ever believed. I loved the lookbacks to all the previous strong moments of Fairy Tail and that almost everyone had a happy ending and paired off romantically like Gajeel & Levy and Gray & Juvia and Jellal & Ersa though Lucy & Natsu were left up in the air. Overall it was a lovely conclusion to this lovely show that made me love almost every single character in the ensemble cast. Fairy Tail will forever have a place in my heart.
Welcome To Demon School Iruma-Kun Episode 15
I really thought that the Battler Party was going to take place in this episode cause I assumed that since Iruma and co build the fireworks machine last week that we had nothing else to do and tbh that was still true this week which made this episode feel like it was just trying to kill time until next week. We still don't really know anything new about Kiriwo or why he wants to destroy Babyls but it obviously has to do with how he doesn't like the demon ranking system but why he thinks destroying the school will stop that is super strange. We did see a glimpse of something that makes me think that maybe someone he loved died or left him cause of the ranking system which if were true would help with his motivations but even more unclear is what Baal gets out of it cause he's already one of the highest ranked demons so like why destroy a school? Sullivan is still in jail but he seems to be doing fine and I low key loved the button we got at the end about how Sullivan's interrogator ended up being a fan of his so he was replaced. I'm a bit worried that he'll end up missing Iruma's Battler Party stuff cause he's arrested and Iruma will be crushed cause he still doesn't know that Sullivan is in jail basically because of him.
ID: Invaded Episode 3
It's totally fascinating how much faster and easier it feels when the mystery is only limited to one episode rather than two but I get why the show did that cause now that we know how these wells work there's no need to drag out the mysteries. We did get a little character development alongside the mystery of the week with us learning that Hondoumachi though mostly still the same as she was before the drilling attack it seems now that having lost a little bit of her frontal lobe has made her a little more cold and emotionless when it comes to cases and death. Her partner claimed that it made her closer to what kind of person Sakaido was but I'm not sure why he seemed so bitter about the whole thing cause it feels horrible to be like Sakaido was an idiot for falling apart after his family's death. Speaking of Sakaido's family we learned a lot more about who he was was back then and how his family died. Though he was a homicide detective it sounded like he wasn't really all that interested in it despite spending all his time at work and barely being home but I wonder if this is just his regret and guilt talking cause I doubt with how fast his mind works and how easily he can solve cases that he wasn't into it at all. It was also interesting to see that he's being housed in the same jail as a lot of the other serial killers and honestly that feels a little too harsh! I mean we don't exactly know what he did after his family died but I can't imagine he went on a killing spree!
Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 4
We're finally back after a month off and honestly guys I'm just as low key disappointed as I was with the first three parts. Maybe these crossovers are just not for me cause you all know that Oliver is the love of my life and Arrow is my show so I'll never not be low key bitter about how he's used in them. I could give less of a shit about Kara or Barry so the fact that we had to watch Oliver die for the second time this crossover was heartbreaking. Why is his family and his life so much less important that Kara and Barry's? I do love that it is Oliver that is the glue that holds everyone together and that without him not only couldn't the Paragons have left the Vanishing Point but the universe couldn't have been reset. Having said that Oliver's treatment isn't the only thing that bugs me about this crossover but also the fact that there's pretty much no story in this. I mean we did learn a bit more about the Monitor and the Anti-Monitor's backstories in this episode but all-in-all we barely know why the Anti-Monitor does what he does. These four parts were basically being held together by cameo after cameo as evidenced by how little we even see our heroes fighting and though the fangirl in me doesn't mind, when I look at it more analytically I'm not content. I also could not give less of a shit about anything Lex and Kara did on the Monitor's planet so I pretty much zoned out for that. On the more positive side it was nice seeing old moments in Oliver's life (cause this was the Arrow part of the crossover) though it low key sucked that Emily Bett Rickards couldn't come back cause an Arrow lookback felt so empty without Felicity and I really screamed over the Ezra Miller appearance cause he was the one cameo I never expected to happen and low key he saves me from hating this episode! Props to Ezra Miller for agreeing to it and props to the Arrowverse for managing to do it!
Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 5
With this episode the Crisis On Infinite Earths crossover came to an end and though part of me wants to say it fumbled it's way there, this episode was leagues better than Part 4 and honestly everything that I had a problem with in the previous episode was fixed here and part of me wonders if I liked it so much cause I watched them back to back. This episode did pretty well with tying up the story and any loose ends. I loved that the Anti-Monitor wasn't defeated with Oliver's death cause it would have felt too easy despite wanting Oliver's sacrifice to have the most meaning and I loved how much time was given to Sara and Barry and even Team Arrow to mourn Oliver cause I would have been bitter if they didn't. The comedy was on point especially with the Beebo appearance and it was nice to even get a second of Nate and Ava cause it's the first we're seeing of them since May last year! I also really love how though the multiverse still exists, it's changed enough to make Kara be on the same Earth as Barry and Oliver and the Legends though I guess it means now that Supergirl cannot do the world changing storylines like they did before. I'm also pretty sure though Black Lightning popped in, his Earth will probs still be fine when he returns to it. The final fight with the Anti-Monitor was great as was the way they science-d their way into getting rid of the Anti-Monitor despite being unable to permanently destroy anti-matter. Of all the parts I think Part 2 had the best extended cameos while Part 5 had the best story. Seeing the beginnings of the Justice League was also pretty awesome in the Hall of Justice to be and I loved all the tributes to Oliver but I have a feeling that until the final episode of Arrow airs I don't think I'll truly think that Oliver is dead dead. Overall I think if I turn my brain off this crossover was fun enough and it was worth the price alone to see all the cameos we did.
The Magicians Season 5 Episode 1
I'm not exactly proud of how much I cried this week. Part of it might have been cause I watched the premiere for this season right after watching The Vikings where a funeral for my favorite character Lagertha took place so I might have been in my feels when starting this episode or maybe it's cause I always find that the episode after a major death is the one that kills you emotionally. Quentin was actually one of my favorite characters and though I'm just as bitter as most of The Magicians audience out there about it, I love so much about this show that I decided to continue watching it though I really do feel the Quentin-sized hole in it. Alice was in mourning and I think it's actually super in character for her cause even back in Season 2 when our Quentin met an Alice from another timeline she never stopped searching for a way to bring him back and tbh that's the thing that bugs me about Quentin's death. No one in this show stays dead whether it's through resurrection or another version of the character so it really bugs me that Quentin was the one that the showrunners decided had to permanently be gone. Julia struggled to figure out what to do with her magic while Penny was sort of forced into being a Brakebills's teacher and Kady was still trying to be a hedge witch leader. Meanwhile over in Fillory we still haven't learned what happened over those 300 years or who the new leader is but supposedly Fen and Josh died and I have a feeling that Margo and Eliot will somehow do what the Clockwork Dwarf told them not to and travel back cause duh we can't lose Josh and Fen which will lead to the Apocalypse that Julia was warned about and the quest for the season.
The promo for next week wasn't exactly a promo for next week but the whole season and we really just gets glimpses of what we're in store for. Alice makes a Golem of Quentin making me wonder if Jason Ralph will actually be back cause we know that Golems look like the humans they are modeled after. Fen and Josh also seem fine so the time travel must work and we're told again that the Apocalypse is happening.
Harley Quinn Season 1 Episode 8
This was a really fun episode but more than what happened this week it's opening up a lot of questions for the future and that's what really interests me. Harley finally got an invitation to the Legion Of Doom but what she didn't know was that the Legion only invited her cause they actually wanted Ivy as a member and were hoping they could sort of blackmail/threaten Ivy into joining cause they know that Ivy would do anything for Harley. In the end though Harley was let into the Legion even though Lex convinced her that when Ivy said no Harley wouldn't be in and this leads me to wonder if maybe this whole thing was planned out on purpose. Maybe Joker wanted Harley back and so he decided that the only way to do that was to separate her from Ivy so he and Lex planned this whole thing. It'd definitely make sense and I'd be so into it! It was also interesting that though Ivy no longer seems afraid to be with Kiteman in public she still hasn't exactly told Harley that they're dating. The stuff with Psycho and the tentacle monster was meh but the comedy was still on point. We also saw Aquaman though he was the original DC version and I'll never be tired of the Aquaman is lame jokes despite personally not actually believing any version of Aquaman is lame.
