Hello everyone and welcome back! Let's dive right in shall we?
My goodness this show is prime rom com isn't it?? I think it has to do with the fact that this anime is only going to get one season so they're probs trying to fit volumes and volumes of manga into 12 episodes which is why things are moving so fast. Last week I mentioned that I was curious as to whether Miyamura told Hori that he loved her cause she was awake and whether she would act on it or pretend she was asleep and this week we got the answers. Miyamura knew that Hori was awake which is why he confessed and while Hori was a little awkward about it, in the end she decided that he was her boyfriend now which is an indirect confession. I also liked that it ended up being her dad that sort of was the catalyst for her acceptance but I'm still kinda curious what his role in the family is. Is he kinda a drifter who comes and goes or are her parents divorced cause we've never seen or heard of him before. It was also sweet of Miyamura to call Toru and tell him that they were dating and that Toru was mature about it by telling Miyamura to chill over his guilt cause even though he felt kinda shitty over it, at the end of the day, Toru was too good a person to linger. Maybe he should get to know Sakura more!
I don't even know where to start this review of this week's Riverdale episode cause I don't even know what I'm watching anymore! I mentioned last week that I thought this would end up being a soft reboot for Riverdale and that's exactly what we got. The show feels different and more mature and yet partially the same which I'm sort of down for that cause it's definitely more exciting than the same old same old. We spent chunks of the episode getting to know each of our main four characters and where they are in their lives now before bringing them back to the cesspool that is Riverdale. Archie became a Sergeant in the army but was sent back to Riverdale to revive the ROOTC program and he's really the only one without problems. Betty joined the FBI after Yale I'm assuming but she's still a trainee and is dating what seems to be her mentor or maybe boss. A little while ago she was hunting a serial killer and went off on her own without backup and ended up being captured and held for two weeks so she's struggling with a shit ton of PTSD. Jughead graduated and published a pretty popular book two years ago but he's been struggling to write another since. He's become a bit of a ladies man which is hilarious to me but he's also in debt somehow? Veronica meanwhile was a shark on Wall Street but then got married and now she's starting to see that she basically married another Hiram with how controlling he is. Cheryl's become a recluse while Toni is the head of the Serpents and guidance counselor at Riverdale High alongside Kevin who's the drama teacher. Fangs and Sweet Pea are driving trucks while Reggie is Hiram's right hand man while they try to strip Riverdale dry in order to force people to live in Hiram's SoDale project. So far our heroes have all congregated in Riverdale in order to celebrate Pop's retirement but Jughead's narration made me think that maybe a murder will keep them all in town. I wonder if Betty's runaway serial killer will the one we're hunting?
The promo for next week doesn't show much other than it looks like Archie and company will be taking his house back from the Ghoulies. I guess this means the others are on board with Archie's plan to save Riverdale? Idk other than Archie and Jughead who can write pretty much anywhere, it does feel like the girls have things to do and places to be so I wonder what will cause them to stay.
Jujutsu Kaisen Season 1 Episodes 18
I really enjoyed this week's episode and it probs has a lot to do with the fact that our villains have infiltrated this competition so instead of watching two schools fight one another and angst over their similar struggles we get to watch them team up and take down demons! I still do miss Itadori which is totally funny to me cause I've never cared about a shounen protag so much before. Usually I'm so much more into the ensemble but I wonder if it's cause Itadori is smarter and less maniac or naive then most protags so I can connect with him more. The veil that was dropped was only meant to keep Gajou out but the Cursed Master who cast it didn't seem to know that which makes me wonder if the villains lied to him cause they know that Gajou is too strong or if they purposefully separated Gajou from the group in hopes that he can be defeated easier. It was hilarious though seeing the other Principal pull out an electric guitar but I guess that his Cursed power is going to be related to sound waves or something.
This week straight up left me with chills and like slow clap to this show for pulling it off. I also want to shout out Elizabeth Olsen for playing Wanda just shy of insanity perfectly cause it constantly feels like you've gotta be careful around her cause one wrong move and she will kill you no questions asked. I still feel like there's someone pulling the strings behind the scenes just for Pietro alone especially since it seems as though he's not completely brainwashed like the others. It was just strange that he was asking Wanda questions like how did you do this and his constant commentary about what his role in this week's sitcom was and his jokes about Vision being dead confused me. Is he fully aware of everything but enthralled to think that Wanda is his sister? We do know now that Wanda is the one controlling Westview and that she can move the barrier but the question still remains if she was the one to start it all. I'm also really confused about the twins and whether they can exist outside this barrier since the stuff that SWORD pulled out was okay but Vision started to die again so maybe her reality bending powers only work on inanimate objects? It's also important to note that Monica, Jimmy, and Darcy no longer trust Haywood and they discovered that he's definitely after Vision cause of the Vibranium but now that Darcy has been sucked in, I think that Vision will wake her up and they can exchange notes.
