Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
I wasn't planning on reviewing this anime weekly if I'm being honest cause I tend to find that I have more to comment on in shounens or mystery anime but I seriously watched this first episode and fell head over heels. Like for weeks I've been hearing nothing but excitement for this anime to start airing cause it was a favorite rom com manga of so many people which worried me cause it gave me high expectations going in but fortunately this show met them all! I am seriously in love with Miya in ways I cannot describe. I don't think I've been so into a husbando since maybe Usui from Kaichou wa Maid Sama! Like I fall in love with plenty of male leads but most of the time I'm just like yeah he's best boy or yeah I ship it but for the first time in a while I was like googly eyed starting at the screen. I absolutely adore how cute this show is already and how our leads are starting out as friends instead of enemies like most rom coms out there. Miya isn't the shy otaku I thought he was going to be and I love that his punk personality kind of makes him seem more ditsy than edgy. Hori is sweet and I love how much she loves her brother and taking care of their family over having fun with her friends. Their dynamic is everything and I'll be really curious to see the journey this show takes them on and whether it'll get exhausting watching their will they won't they like in Toradora or if it'll be cute every single time like in Kaichou wa Maid Sama!

Now that I'm finally caught up with this show, it's going to be interesting to see whether I will feel any differently about it. A lot of shounen are meant to be binged and watching weekly sucks the fun out. So far though I don't think I've noticed a problem other than the fact that I wanted more! This week felt a bit more like a setup for future episodes more than anything else but I didn't mind that cause we always need something to link one hype event to another. I do have to say that Itadori popping out of a box like surprise was really the dumbest thing I've experienced in a while but it was slightly worth it to see Kugisaki and Fushiguro's completely deadpan faces while Itadori and Gojo tried to hype things up. It looks like we'll be spending the next chunk of episodes in a competition between Tokyo and Kyoto though I do want to mention that this week really highlighted a problem I have with this show. Unlike most shounens, this show's ensemble isn't very fun to watch. I don't know if this is due to how we literally spent two seconds with the ensemble before isolating Itadori or if it's cause so far all the supporting characters are boring but I hope this changes soon enough since I'm sure that the show will want me to care about the others at some point. I also don't love that every single student from Kyoto seems villainous since we already have enough demons to fight but at the same time I guess I can understand why they're all like that when their principal is such a horrible monster too.
Honestly guys of all the Disney+ Marvel shows that had been slated to come out, I really wasn't all that interested in this show from the start. I have never really cared about Wanda or Vision or their relationship in the MCU but at this point if I'm in for a penny then I might as well be in for a pound! I mean I can't not watch every single Marvel thing that comes out right?? So here I am after having watched the first two episodes of this show and it's pretty much what I expected it to be. The basic premise of this show is that Wanda is somehow stuck in this sitcom world and that we'll be watching her jumps from sitcom to sitcom while SWORD tries to get her out. It's up in the air right now as to whether Wanda created this reality on her own to cope with the loss of Vision or if someone put her here for some larger goal or if it's a mix of the two. Maybe she created this reality without meaning any harm only for some villain to hijack the whole thing? I know the popular theories are that this show is meant to be the MCU version of House Of M after which mutants are brought into this world or that Agnes is Agatha Harkness aka a villain from the comics who works with Mephisto but I'm not entirely sure which one feels more likely as of yet. I just hope that we don't spend too long immersed in this sitcom reality and that we see more and more hints of Wanda realizing that something isn't right cause I'm more interested in why she's here and what SWORD is doing!
