Listeners - Episode 8 [Review]
One of the more understated issues with Listeners' episodic storytelling is that, despite spending half a dozen episodes following them, Echo and Mu have remained pretty underdeveloped. They're likable personalities, and can bounce off eachother and the myriad supporting cast well in most scenarios, but besides learning to be more trusting towards eachother they're virtually identical to where they were in the premiere. Consistent character writing's all well and good, but our deuteragonists have had to spend so much time reacting to the wacky rock'n'rollers around them that the audience hasn't gotten much time inside their heads since their pit-stop with the Valentines in episode 3.
Thankfully, “The Real Me” helps remedy that a bit. Following last episode's example, it once again slows the pacing down enough to let the characters actually talk about their feelings and worries, rather than just infodumping. When the pair are suddenly whisked away to Londinium by the charismatic Tommy Walker and all but conscripted into his plan to re-open the gate that supposedly swallowed Jimi Stonefree 10 years ago, potentially bringing their journey to an end, it triggers a good bit of contemplation for Echo and Mu. Echo's conundrum is the simpler of the two – he's realizing he's in love with Mu, and has to pluck up the courage to tell her, or at least ask to stay by her side even after they've found Jimi and unlocked whatever secrets are hiding inside her memories. It's a straightforward conflict that suits such a plain boy, but it's nice to see him doing some real introspection for once and deciding to take action. Mu was the spark that made him admit he wanted more than a life of numb safety, and now he's internalizing that lesson and putting it into practice.
Mu's problems are decidedly heavier. While excited at the prospect of finally meeting her mysterious brother, she's also apprehensive about what it could mean for unlocking her memories. What if the person she was before Echo dug her out of the scrap heap is completely different from who she is now? Would that mean Mu, as she knows herself, would just vanish altogether? It's all very existential, and quite in line with the episodes namesake song, itself a bombastic plea for true understanding of one's self. Mu ultimately decides to step forward and face whoever she really is, but that question becomes way more muddled when somebody else decides to make her who he wants her to be.
Tommy Walker is decidedly different from his namesake, as he doesn't so much as touch a pinball machine this whole episode. And rather than starting a 70's cult he's gone a different route and formed a child army, decking them out in Mod fashion to evangelize in the streets of Londinium when they're not being indoctrinated within the walls of the Watchtower. The audience can tell from a mile away (and from the end of last episode) that he's not on the up-and-up, but it's still interesting to see him subtly push Mu into following his plans, before throwing all subtlety out the window and just drugging her to get her to activate his retrofitted version of Jimi's Equipment and launch a god damn (sound) wave motion cannon into the Earless horde. Rather than trying to bring Jimi back from wherever he's gone, Tommy's decided it's better to just recreate him, whether his vessel wants to or not. Which I guess within the classic rock metaphor means he's trying to create Woodstock '99, and that's perhaps even more evil than the manipulation and genocide.
Jokes about terrible music festivals aside, this episode feels like confirmation that Listeners has found its footing now that's it's done with the broad set-up. Our leads both get important moments that make them feel well-rounded, and the overall conflict feels much better defined than the previous globetrotting. I also have to mention the climactic laser-blast and its accompanying buildup: the lyrics to “All Along The Watchtower” has never felt so ominous, which is saying something. Hopefully this is a sign of what to expect going into the 3rd act of the series.

Wave, Listen to Me! - Episode 8 [Review]
I never expected to be just as invested in the Makie/Nakahara side-plot as I am in Minare's story, but Wave, Listen to Me! continues, as ever, to surprise me. I originally thought that Makie was only being brought in to serve as The Other Woman to Minare in a love triangle, and while that is still a possible avenue for the show to go down, I'm very happy to see that Wave is committed to making Makie into just as much of a fully fleshed out character as our heroine. Despite being nearly perfect foils for one another, both Makie and Minare have something in common, too: The men in their life are really freaking weird.
As far as Makie's brother Toru is concerned, that weirdness is both utterly strange and legitimately terrifying. The guy looks ripped right from the pages of a seedy crime novel, for one, and he practically oozes a sketchy and dangerous aura. Also, as he reveals in his first interaction with Makie and Nakahara after he and Takarada are released from the hospital, Toru seems to literally suffer from a condition where worrying for his sister causes him to black out and become consumed with a murderous rage. Apparently, one of these black out sessions ended up with one of Makie's bullies being tied up in a bundle of reeds with his own mother and left to drown in a mountain dam.
So Toru isn't exactly going to provide what any reasonable person would call a safe home to live in, and Nakahara almost screws himself over completely when he reveals that Makie has been living with him the entire time Toru was in the hospital. Thankfully, Nakahara's sister has superhuman levels of gossiping power, and she ends up…nagging Toru into submission? The gag isn't the cleanest, but it gives Makie a place in Nakahara's home for now, which can only be a good thing. A part of me still thinks that Makie's domestic drama, as absurd as it has turned out to be, feels like it almost belongs in its own, separate show. Another part of me appreciates the thematic connections the show is weaving in exploring the sometimes darkly comedic struggles that its women share.
Minare has less to deal with, comparatively, since her primary struggle is that all of the collective anxiety that she has suffered over the past few episodes has kept her from coming up with ideas for this week's broadcast. This leads to Kanetsugu coming up with one of the funniest bits the show's done so far, a segment where Minare calls a family member to argue with them on air, which in this case involves bickering with her dad about her name. His first story about the origin of Minare's apparently strange name — He got distracted looking for baby name books and saw it on the cover of a porno mag — is too stupid for even Minare to fully buy at first, but then we get the “for real” version of the story, which is somehow even worse. As her father tells it, he had three extramarital lovers that he dumped in the wake of Minare's birth, and each of them requested that he name his newborn after them, as a token of their memory. When the time came, the three lovers' names got jumbled together in his head: Michiru, Natsuko, and Reiko. The rest is history.
Minare's predictably homicidal reaction is great, but her low-stakes, joke-heavy plot also manages to reinforce the ideas at play in Makie's story. To quote the lovely Mizuho: “See, Miss Minare? Men can bring you great despair, but they can also save your butt, too, at times.” After all, Kanetsugu has Minare's back no matter how stupid things get, Komoto is there to make sure even the sloppiest of rants sounds good on air, and even Kureko can be relied upon to deliver a solid script when Minare needs direction. This week's script is set to be Komoto's last, though, since he's moving on to bigger and better things, though even Minare has to admit that he's been uncharacteristically generous with his work this time around. He's prepared a scene for Minare that involves her trapped alone in the woods, only to meet with a ferocious looking bear…
Aside from recapping the events of Wave's first episode, which we've finally caught up to, there's one more sequence worth discussing in “I Can't Tell You Over the Phone”, a flashback of sorts to a meeting between a young Kanetsugu and the elusive Sissel Komei, who has returned from her overseas work with a passion for working in radio. The scene is decidedly abstract in how it is directed, using post-modern techniques like a sepia tone and dialogue intertitles that establish a much more somber tone than what the rest of Wave usually goes for. She went and saw Monty Python on Kanetsugu's recommendation, and while she got what made them so popular, she's less interested in comedy that makes fun of easy targets; Sissel would much rather establish a brand that draws laughter from jokes reflected back on oneself.
If that philosophy, not to mention her striking resemblance to Minare, wasn't enough to sell the feeling that has drawn Sato Kanetsugu to his new protégé in the present day, Sissel declares that, if she were ever to have a child, she would name them after the word that means “To make laugh”, which is written as 笑わせる. This would normally be romanized as “warawaseru”, though an alternative reading can give you the katakana spelling of ミナレ. “Minare”.
The Sims 4: Next Patch to Unlock “Free Placement” of Doors and Windows
The Sims 4: Next Patch to Unlock “Free Placement” of Doors and Windows
During today’s Eco Lifestyle stream, gurus confirmed that the “free placement” feature that already exists in game for many objects, will now work with windows and doors. Currently the game allows you to press ATL on your keyboard and drag objects around, but doesn’t allow the same function with doors and windows. On June 2nd, that all changes.
Lastly, if you were wondering whether or not windows will stack, SimGuruGeorge confirmed on Twitter that they will not.
Windows will not stack. They still take up space per panel.
Note, that if you 'nudge' your single tile windows over onto two tiles, it will take up both of those tiles.

POIDOL disbands, releases last single “link.”
POIDOL announced on May 13 that they will disband after their last one-man tour titled “Period.”, with the final performance scheduled to take place on November 29 at Shinjuku BLAZE.
The reason for the disbandment points to individual differences between the band members as they explain in their parting messages—which you can read further down. It’s revealed here that they came to this decision before the start of their ‘KYOU-HAN-SHA’ tour, which was supposed to be happening now, but unfortunately canceled after only performing two shows due to the coronavirus pandemic.
However, the band has made it clear that they are not disbanding because they got along poorly.
Alongside this announcement, POIDOL has released its last single titled “link.”, distributed digitally which is also an effect contributed by the coronavirus. The single will conclude their three-part conceptual story created by vocalist Nana Ayase. Additionally, the band has plans to release a best-of album with more details to be announced at a later date.
POIDOL formed in October 2017 with the lineup consisting of vocalist Nana Ayase, guitarist Souta Nagi, bassist Ran Ayase, and drummer Ryo Hoshina. Not long after, Ryo Hoshina left the band in April 2018, during the same year, their new drummer Takuto Mikazuki joined in while releasing the single AQUA BLUE. POIDOL has throughout their three years released nine singles, the POIDOL-EP, and album JEWELRY BOX.
As their parting messages are quite lengthy, we have condensed and summarized them.
Vocalist Nana Ayase explains that POIDOL is not disbanding because they don’t get along, but because of other reasons such as their smaller goals not aligning with each other and that gap has only widened over time. The band they called “POIDOL” was slowly “melting away”. As the leader of the band, and as the vocalist, Nana blamed himself for not being able to realize this sooner.
By the time of the ‘KYOU-HAN-SHA’ tour, the band had already decided they would disband. It was a long thought process and tough decision, and also difficult to explain to those who were going to attend thinking “this is just the beginning”.
We were planning this tour before we even started thinking about disbandment, but the things we wanted to convey about our future had all become lies. Although I felt like that, when I was on stage I was trying my hardest and wanted to find the reason I was on stage, but that was only possible in Sendai. We entered into the period of self-restraint before I was able to get my thoughts and feelings in order, and I can’t get these feelings out anywhere. I’m truly disappointed.
His words on stage weren’t aligning with reality either, reminiscing to things he might have said on stage during every performance, like “I want to give this moment my all”. Despite the circumstances, he wanted to emit that impression to his fans, that they were artists that shone brightly.
The new single link. is not only the band’s last single but serves as a way for Nana to share his appreciation.
The single released today, “link.” is POIDOL’s final song. I wrote it to convey how much love and gratitude I have for our precious members and beloved fans.
I hope this song touches your heart.
Guitarist Souta Nagi explains that he doesn’t want to cause any misunderstanding as it’s simply not possible to convey his full thoughts or include sensitive details. However, he goes on to share his appreciation for POIDOL and how it was able to make his dream come true.
To the fans who supported us until now, I’m sorry that we have to announce it this way. I don’t want to lie about the reason for our disbandment, there are things I cannot say and I don’t want any misunderstanding to occur, as such, I don’t want to explain it in a brief manner either.
The threads that bound us together as members have slowly become unraveled. But even now, my feelings are unchanged and I’m glad we could play together.
Because it was the four of us, we could get this far. The dream I’ve had since I was a roadie, or standing on that huge stage, putting the songs inside my head onto a CD… POIDOL made all those dreams come true. I’m truly grateful.
To the fans that have always cheered for us. To my bandmates. Thank you, always.
Bassist Ran Ayase reiterates that the reason they are disbanding is not that they got along poorly but rather the small differences between the members’ way of seeing things.
I love being one of these four members. It is comfortable, we smile a lot, and they showed me a lot of music and things I’d never seen before.
[…]
However, working hard as a band and facing forward while having such vague feelings like “this is fun” or “I like this”, was not enough to continue on.
The reason is not that we got along poorly. The things that we had set our sights on as a band, each thing that we wanted to do, tiny cracks appeared one by one and when we realized, they had become a huge fissure. I couldn’t say exactly when but gradually, the band was eaten away by this kind of uncertainty, impatience, a sense of discomfort.
These hurdles were appearing over and over again, and slowly with time, it was no longer possible to repair what had become a “huge fissure” which inevitably moved the band towards the decision of disbandment.
The thought of link. being the last song they would write as POIDOL’s also made Ran evoke some uncertain emotions.
[…] the feeling of disbandment welled up inside me and it felt like some thread had been cut and I could no longer play, I could no longer think. At first I was puzzled, thinking that if we gave it some time a solution would appear; but then two painful weeks passed, and then three…
However, when the band met up again in a lighter mood in April, Ran picked up his bass again and realized something profound.
As I picked up the instrument I had been so afraid of, I realized the part of me that was having fun was there all along. There was also a moment where I realized that the power of music—good or bad—was really immense. It took around a month for me to face the concept of disbandment earnestly, and to be able to be open about these feelings to the other members, and to all of you.
I’m sorry to have worried all of you who have been waiting for us during the current state of emergency while we took a selfish break.
There are parts that are disappointing but, the existence of POIDOL was a really important thing to me.
[…]
I’m so glad we could all meet, and would like to thank you for loving our music.
Drummer Takuto Mikazuki also kept it relatively short, expressing that there is no simple way to explain the reason. Being unable to see the future of the band lead to the disbandment. Ironically, as a band, he felt that the members had become closer after deciding to dissolve.
I’m sorry to have saddened and surprised you with the sudden announcement.
I can’t find a simple way to explain the reason for it. Our ways of thinking, circumstances, values, ideals, reality… we had a lot of differences like that, and became unable to think about the future of the band and the decision we arrived at is what you could say our true feelings are.
I’m truly grateful to all of you Sapphires [POIDOL fans] who came with us on this journey. Because you were there, we were able to do our best and have a lot of fun on hard tours and during tough schedules. We were able to show you a lot of things, and in turn you showed us so much. Of course there are some things that I regret, but the days spent as a member of POIDOL are a precious treasures to me.
In life, many things come to an end. However, realizing that we can see the end, I feel like we have become closer as bandmates since we decided to disband.
We’ll shine through the time remaining until November in POIDOL style, and I hope we can finish with a smile on our faces. Please come and see us until the end. Please watch us with your own eyes until then.
Thank you so much.

DADAROMA’s last live before hiatus invites digital audience
DADAROMA’s last live before hiatus invites digital audience
DADAROMA performed its last live show today on May 20 before entering a second hiatus. This concludes the “DADAROMA ONE MAN TOUR ‘POINT OF NO RETURN’”, a tour that would otherwise have had its tour final on April 14, but canceled due to coronavirus. Because of the circumstances, the band didn’t want to just leave things as is and decided to hold a livestream, inviting everyone to join their show digitally.
While the band was great on stage, we can’t help but notice the difference from the crazy and energetic DADAROMA concerts we’ve attended in the past. It was a bit tamer, and as you might have guessed, this is mainly due to the fact that no one physically attended the show—they performed in an empty venue! Despite that, drummer Ryohei mentioned during the stream how he felt a bit nervous at first but after getting into it, it was just like any other show.
The performance lasted for about an hour and after a 10-minute intermission, the band returned to give their closing thoughts, talking about the recent single Mr. Terror Man, and experience in Europe.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrvlXdYv3e8
The livestream happened to coincide with vocalist Yoshiatsu’s birthday too, so the staff decided to surprise him with a cake. During one of the MC’s, vocalist Yoshiatsu even mentioned how sad it was to enter hiatus on his birthday in a jokingly manner.
The staff member also asked some casual questions such as “How have you been doing lately?” which caused the band to burst into laughter considering how the whole world is in a state of chaos. They later transition into talking about everyday life such as cooking, neat things they recently bought, and so on.
Before ending the livestream, each member shared a few appreciative words to the fans while also commenting on how the live show today was a good experience even if it was under unusual circumstances. At the very end, Yoshiatsu reiterated that even the band members have no idea how things will pan out and that they can’t promise anything.
All we can do now is to cross our fingers and hopefully wait for some good news.

Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc 2 Manga Delays 3rd Chapter
Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc 2 Manga Delays 3rd Chapter
This year's combined 14th and 15th issue of Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine revealed on Friday that the third and final chapter of the second part of Natsuki Takaya's Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc manga has been delayed indefinitely. The magazine's official website and Twitter account will announce the new release date when it is decided.
Fruits Basket: The Three Musketeers Arc started its "2nd season" serialization in Hana to Yume magazine on April 20. The second chapter debuted in Hana to Yume on Friday.
Yen Press began publishing the manga in English on April 28.
The fourth-wall breaking manga centers on "The Mabudachi Trio" (Hatori, Shigure, and Ayame; known as "The Three Musketeers" in English) from the original manga. The original three-chapter spinoff series debuted in the magazine's combined 10th and 11th issue in April 2019. The second chapter shipped in the 13th issue in June 2019, and the third chapter shipped in the 15th issue in July 2019. Yen Press published the English version of the manga as a digital simulpub.
Takaya serialized the original Fruits Basket manga in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine from 1998 to 2006. Tokyopop released the manga in English from 2004 to 2009, and Yen Press re-released the manga in 12 updated omnibus volumes beginning in June 2016.
The original manga inspired a television anime adaptation in 2001. The manga's new anime adaptation premiered in Japan in April 2019. The second season premiered in Japan on April 6. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs, and Funimation is streaming an English dub.

Kakushigoto - Episode 12 [Review]
After weeks of teasing disaster and despair, Kakushigoto finally pulls back the veil on its frame story and delivers a definitive conclusion for its father-daughter saga about manga artistry and dick jokes. Unlike prior episodes, this one takes place entirely in the somber flash-forward starring 18-year-old Hime, and even though it's a slight departure from the story's expected format and tonal variance, it feels appropriate. Kakushigoto has already spent so much time hyping up the mystery of its titular character's fate that there's no way it would've been able to squeeze something satisfying into just a minutes-long epilogue. That doesn't stop the finale from feeling a little bit strange, but on the other hand, we can all be thankful that Kōji Kumeta resisted the temptation to knock over his meticulously-arranged chessboard of character drama for one last spectacular goof. Instead, Kakushi and Hime find closure and a (mostly) secret-free path forward for their family.
Kumeta actually seems kind of embarrassed about how long he ended up stringing the audience along, based on how quickly he reveals all the narrative cards he was hiding. Hime is indeed Kakushi's real daughter. Kakushi himself was actually the illegitimate child. That only mattered because kabuki actors and traditional artists don't get along, apparently. His half-sister sent Hime the house key. His wife was lost at sea, and he could never fully accept that. He gave up on manga because his fans found out and thought that was weird. He's also not dead right now; he's just in a coma. And that's more or less it. All of this comes to light in the first five or so exposition-saturated minutes—more perfunctory than satisfying. The saving grace is that all these answers are pretty mundane and set the stage for the eventual reunion between Hime and her dad. Last-minute twists for the sake of it are difficult to pull off (and to be fair, Kakushigoto does try to pull a pretty big one that we'll get to shortly), so the way these naturally fizzle into the denouement is probably the best course it could have taken.
One issue I do rankle with is the valuation of blood relations, which is broached briefly when Hime's cousin reassures her that Kakushi is her “real” dad, to her vocalized relief. As a staunch appreciator of found families—especially those in some of my favorite anime series—I can't help but critique this small but nonetheless misguided focus on the “legitimacy” of their bond. Kakushi would have still been Hime's dad even if he had found her in a stalk of bamboo. This whole show was about the two of them taking care of each other, working through their problems, and celebrating the triumphs whenever they could, because they love each other. They're family!
The last-minute amnesia twist is also so shamelessly cloying that Kumeta can't help but lampoon himself yet again through the mouthpiece of Tomaruin. If I'm being charitable, I can accept it as symbolic of Kakushi's deep-seated reluctance to see Hime grow up and consequently learn the truth about his former occupation and passion. In reality as in fiction, there's a temptation for fathers in particular to infantilize their daughters. Thus, the key to Kakushi breaking through his amnesia is his acceptance that raising Hime and seeing her grow up into her own person was well worth working through his own discomfort and insecurity. That's both sweet and perceptive, but it's still tacked onto a cheap and cliché dramatic shortcut appended to the final ten minutes of the show.
Unsurprisingly, the tone of this episode is a lot more serious overall compared to its predecessors. However, buried just underneath the surface of the text is some of Kumeta's most quietly acerbic satire to be found in Kakushigoto, surfacing here as if he finally felt freed of the responsibility of sustaining cute father-daughter shenanigans. Most overt is the manner of Kakushi's accident, in which a man who tried to run away from the manga industry ends up hospitalized due to a pallet of manga falling on him. That's some tasty irony, but to take this one step further, the reason the pallet collapses is attributed to someone stealing a copy of Shonen Jump to leak to the internet. Many people (myself included) have at one point justified manga piracy to themselves, but here Kumeta doesn't mince any words about the harm it causes creators. While they might not be falling into conveniently tragic comas, there are plenty of other ways it hurts the people who, as Kakushigoto has frequently pointed out, don't have easy careers to begin with.
This finale in general doesn't paint a flattering portrait of the internet. A combination of tabloid journalism and vitriolic anonymous commenters dealt the final blow to Kakushi's ambitions of making people laugh. Granted, Kakushigoto doesn't (and couldn't) explore this facet with the intensity of something like Gatchaman Crowds, but it's not accidental that Kakushi's recovery—both from amnesia and from his manga block—stems from time spent together with people who care about him. Hime triggers his memories with a decidedly low-tech cardboard box full of musty manuscripts. It's a callback to the boxes her mother left for her, but it also shows the importance of the in-person interpersonal warmth Kakushi has been able to foster in spite of himself.
Ultimately, what works best in this finale is what has always worked best for Kakushigoto: the small and sincere moments shared between people who care about each other amidst their rampant wackiness. Whether it's Hime's classmates banding together for one last detective job, or Kakushi's former assistants dutifully drawing pages for a series that ended years ago, the bonds they've all forged transcend any attempt at secrecy. It adds up to a safe yet satisfying conclusion. Personally, in my heart of hearts, I'm always going to hold Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei as the paradigm of Kōji Kumeta manga and adaptations, but Kakushigoto was a nice change of pace and a relaxing companion for stressful times. I look forward to whatever Kumeta moves onto next with a mixture of anticipation and fear for the unmined depths of pun-making he can still unearth.

Listeners - Episode 12 [Review]
Here we have it, the big finale of Listeners, and like any sci-fi action series made after 2000, it's got to go out on a big emotional confrontation where the fate of the world hinges on magical robot powers that let enemies and allies alike understand eachother for the first time. At least this time the robot magic is also tied to music, which is actually a pretty good vehicle for facilitating empathy and one of the few times the show has managed to harmonize its musical aesthetic with its broader themes. Still, at this point it definitely feels like the story going through the motions of what's expected for it. There are still some buried gems in the dialogue – Roz gets probably the best line of the whole show when Denka starts to call Echo the second-coming of Jimi: “It's nothing so grand. All he did was express what was in his heart, and the world chose all by itself to be moved by it.” It's a perfect encapsulation about the act of making music, how it can be at once personal and powerfully external, and I came out of the climax really wishing those feelings had really been at the center of this story and conflict.
As is, Listeners' conclusion mostly serves as an object lesson in spoiled potential. There are multiple monologues and speeches during Mu and Echo's big confrontation that try to tie a bow on the questions of understanding, hope, and love that have been thrown around across the show's runtime, but through most of them I kept asking “wait, is that what you were trying to be about?” as the show seemed to self-assuredly wrap up on the sentiment of not labeling others and reaching out to learn who they really are. It's certainly not a bad moral to build your show around, but through the sprawling, cluttered stories Listeners has told that only ever felt like one of its many philosophical toys it would bring out when it wanted to add weight to its rock'n'roll robot dystopia.
And then there's Track 13, which makes up the back-half of this finale so we can double up on Beatles references, and tries to be a happy epilogue where Humans and Earless now live in harmony and everyone gets a new beginning, but also serves to throw in two very random twists that I cannot wrap my head around. The first is easily the dumbest, with the reveal that Lyde and Richie were alive the whole time and just off camera some where. It's a bizarre joke to end Nir's arc with, and pulls the rug out of what was one of the more emotionally effecting beats in the whole story. I get they didn't want to leave Nir alone and mourning when everyone else gets a happy ending, but there had to be a better way to go about it.
The other twist comes in the form of that elf looking kid in the review image, who looks so much like a fusion of Echo and Mu I initially thought that what they were. But the final post-credits scene assures us that our protagonists are alive and distinct, going on yet another adventure together, and they certainly haven't aged enough to have a kid either. Going by a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit in the climax I've got to assume that's the new form of Listeners, now that Mu's own personality has split off entirely, and I guess they get to start a new life coexisting with humans just like the other Earless. If that is the case, that's a real baffling way to conclude an already underdeveloped storyline, and making the delivery so vague just leaves me scratching my head rather than soaking in the good vibes of your happy ending. In all, these final scenes are just a strange, discordant note to go out on for the series.
So that's where I stand on the finale, but what about Listeners as a whole? Well...ok. I have made my fair share of musical puns and metaphors throughout Listeners' run, and I'm proud of every last terrible one of them, but there's a particular comparison I've been trying to hold off on until the show could play out its tracklist. It's not a damning comparison, nor a particularly kind one altogether, but having finished the show I think it's entirely fitting. Plus the show starts with an Oasis reference and ends on TWO Beatles name drops, so really it's inviting this:
Listeners is the Be Here Now of anime.
If you've watched this show for this long I assume that comparison makes sense to you, but for those who only know Oasis from the Eden of the East OP, Be Here Now is the band's 3rd full-length album and widely considered the bomb that took them from the biggest name in rock music to a faded memory of the mid-90's. While on the whole it's not a terrible album, it's a work defined by pretentious of grandiosity being undercut by a vapid, vacuous lack of real sentiment; an LP that intends to be profound but in the end feels too soupy and disjointed to achieve it. It's also littered with an embarrassing amount of Beatles references that only serve to remind you of much better songs you could be listening to instead of “Magic Pie.” And I don't even like The Beatles that much.
In much the same way, Listeners feels like a show too smothered by its influences and inspirations to ever say anything of its own. For all that it's slathered in broad and deep cuts of rock history, it ends up feeling like a cover version of its obvious sci-fi anime forebears, and only rarely manages to pull something unique from its mix of mech and music. As much as seeing anime-tastic versions of iconic musicians tickled my brain, it also left me wanting in a big way when it came down to what the show wanted to say. What made so many of the musical acts that Listeners name-drops so memorable was that their art had a sharp, personal, often intentionally counterculture sentiment behind it, and that never really shows up here. In the end it's not a bad show – the stories are mostly entertaining, and if you get a kick out of rock history in-jokes there's plenty to be found to amuse you – but I left wanting something, anything more.

Wave, Listen to Me! - Episode 12 [Review]
So this is how Wave, Listen to Me! ends: Not with a bang…but a 6.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Hokkaido! Yes, dear viewers, the show opted to end the season in a surprisingly grand fashion, showcasing everyone on the MRS team at their best as they work together to use the power of radio to unite the island and bring some peace of mind in times that are both literally and metaphorically darker than anyone expected. This isn't about tragedy, or death, and it doesn't even feel like a cheap grab at the real world earthquake disaster that is still a fresh wound in the minds of the whole Japanese populace. It's just a simple story with stakes that are a little bit bigger than normal, and it's all about how radio is a tool that can be used for truly extraordinary purposes when the time calls for it.
So, with those lofty and emotional ambitions established, how on earth did “I Want to Convey It To You” end up as such a letdown of a finale for an otherwise stellar and refreshing series? I'd seen rumblings that the season was going for something of an anime original conclusion already, mind you, so I was prepared for Wave to maybe pass over a couple of plot threads on its way to putting a bow on what might be its only run of episodes. Don't get me wrong, either, as an individual morsel of calculated pathos, “I Want to Convey It to You” works well enough, and if this was the penultimate chapter of the season or something I'm sure it would go down nicely. As the show's final and theoretically most emphatic statement of purpose, though? This episode is weak sauce, man, there's no way around it, even if this isn't anime original material.
My misgivings are all tied up in the way the episode both seems determined to address all of the plot threads its laid out across the past eleven episodes, while simultaneously failing to do anything remotely interesting with any of them. Take Makie for example: At the beginning of the episode, we see that she has actually been using the alias “Joker Stonsky” to work as a contributor to a radio program at HCB, which I presume is a rival station to MRS, which is significant because…well, I'm not sure, to be honest. There are a lot of things to infer, naturally, mainly to do with the romantic rivalry she shares with Minare, and she outright says that she's doing the work as an act of rebellion via independence, something that is hers and hers alone. That's all well and good, but I'm flummoxed as to why the show would include a plot thread like this in such a half-assed manner, only to completely forget about it once the earthquake hits. After that, Makie and Nakahara's cute bonding gets routed into turning Voyager into a makeshift soup kitchen for locals. Again, it's fine, but it all feels decidedly random.
Then there's Mizuho, whose angst over Kureko's imminent departure has been a stopping point across the last few episodes. Here, we get a bit more texture when we learn that a lecture of Kureko's is what got Mizuho interested in being a station assistant director to begin with, and then there's lots of her fretting over whether to pursue her “dream” of working with Kureko on her own show. After weeks of kind-of building this character arc up, the climax that Wave gives us is…Mizuho working up the nerve to just ask Kureko to work with her, which he says he will in his own curmudgeonly way. So, yeah, an incredibly minor crisis was capped off with an incredibly minor resolution.
”Okay,” I can hear you all saying, “Sure, but Wave was never the best at juggling a bunch of plot threads at once, especially in its back half. Surely, though, Minare and Kanetsugu get a worthy send off?” That, my poor hypothetical reader, is where I will have to disappoint you the most, because they really don't. Now, there is good stuff here, once the cool and collected Kanetsugu has to walk the panicky Minare through the routine emergency broadcast procedures. I liked the way Minare has to balance her anxious word vomit with her responsibilities as someone with broadcasting capability in an earthquake/blackout emergency. I liked how Minare didn't suddenly fall into her destiny as The Ultimate Local Hokkaidan Entertainment Personality when the chips were down; Chishiro had to step in to provide the measure of genuine authority that Minare doesn't quite project yet. I even kind of liked Kanetsugu turning on his Hardass Mode to keep Minare functional when things got crazy, (though someone maybe ought to let him know that it's 2020, man, and Minare doesn't need to have “balls” to be capable).
As a one-and-done after-school special sort of affair, this stuff works. It just makes for a lame finale to a whole season's worth of stories and development. We don't get any of the program's wacky visualization, we don't get to hear Minare interacting with her audience in a more personalized and non-earthquake-focused manner, and hell, the scene doesn't even work terribly well as a signifier that Minare has taken her first big step into a weird new career, even if it just the first of many. The best the show can do is have Mianre reflect on how amazing and powerful radio is at, like, bringing people together, man, and that she's more determined than ever to make her mark. We get not one, but two different treacly pop-song montages over scenes of the Hokkaidans making it through the night, and of Minare committing herself to radio once and for all.
I don't know how else to say this: It's corny as hell. Wave, Listen to Me! has been a lot of things over its twelve-episode run. It's been brash, bizarre, inventive, oddly touching, and frequently hilarious, sure, but more than anything, it's been honest. No matter how wacky or warped Minare's worldview painted things, this show, to me, has been about empathizing with Minare, and enjoying the ups-and-downs that come from starting a new and unpredictable chapter in one's life (oh, and bear fights! Wave has been about bear fights, too). The point is, for all of the things this finale did well, it's the first time I felt I could see all of the turning cogs and dancing strings holding the story together. It felt manipulative, albeit in a somewhat muted sense, and dishonest. Does that negate all of the wonderful things the series did in its best moments? Hardly. It's just a bummer of a note to go out on.

Ouran High School Host Club - Episodes 7-8 [Review]
I like when shows like Ouran High School Host Club, which revel in playing with their stock genre setups, arrive at the ‘obligatory’ swimsuit episode, since I get to revel right back by calling attention to it. So what better joy can there be here for me than Ouran actually having two swimsuit episodes, in a row, which line up directly with this week's review block? At last, the multi-episode synergy benefits the analysis of the reviewer! What's that, they're actually wildly different from each other in intent and tone? I'm ruined!
Seriously though, that just means there's plenty to ruminate on across both these episodes despite their superficially similar subject matter. Episode 7 sees the Host Club take a day off for themselves to relax at a cutting-edge resort waterpark, owned by Kyoya's family in one of several links these episodes do share. They go for the most obvious gag fuel first: the Hitachiin twins conspiring to try to get Haruhi into a feminine swimsuit, and Tamaki interfering as his own conflicted feelings on the matter manifest. Since their turn a couple episodes ago made clear the bros might have more serious romantic designs on Haruhi apart from their usual playful flirting, it seems Tamaki has adjusted to regarding them as an actual threat to his own intentions. Oddly, this makes him come across as more sincerely protective of Haruhi from their overt lascivious intent, though his newfound couching of such concerns in acting as her ‘Daddy’ is more than a little off-putting in its own way. It's still funny, because Mamoru Miyano doing anything this ridiculous is always funny and Tamaki continues to not be taken seriously at all. But it still does so in that mid-2000's shoujo way that makes me side-eye how far some of these jokes might go.
Tamaki's not the main event though, as this is ostensibly a focal episode for Honey and Mori, the two club members still pending any development at all. And this episode actually delivers on that need in pretty much the best ways I could have asked it to. Honey has been a complete enigma to me, as I question how much of his childlike persona is as much of a projection as the other boys' character types, obfuscated as it is by the vagueness of his actual age. But the same kinds of depths behind his presentation start coming to the surface here, indicating that he's well aware of his own cute kid nature and how to play it up, and showing that he's very capable of taking care of himself. Mori, for his part, gets some decent development vis-à-vis his loyalty to Honey and how the other characters explain it.
I'm honestly not 100% down with the supposed explanation that Mori is obligatorily deferential to Honey due to his family's past of servitude, but at least Haruhi seems to agree with me on that one. That makes it somewhat sweeter when he assists Haruhi out of what seems to be the same kind of generalized loyalty to his friends. So there's a lot of digging still to be done on Mori's character, but Honey's childlike earnestness still seems to come through in a real way. Despite some odder ins and outs detailing his and Mori's relationship, I dug his appreciable demeanor towards his much taller friend. Honey is a good example of why I've been hoping so hard that Ouran would add more nuance and layers to its characters, since that gives me more reasons to enjoy watching them. Plus there's a scene this episode where Honey single-handedly beats up a bunch of cops. So I might have a new favorite.
The implications of Ouran's relationship developments are decidedly messier to parse in the eighth episode, which takes a suggestion by Haruhi from that previous one and runs with it all the way to a real beach (also owned by Kyoya). This one also sees the club actually performing their hostly duties while lounging around in swimwear, and it's always a delight to be reminded of Haruhi's complete inability to turn her natural swag off. That does dovetail into the overarching conflict this episode, beginning with the boys trying to discover if the perpetually-unflappable Haruhi actually has anything that can distress her, and halfway through turns to... them scolding Haruhi for forgetting the inherent weaknesses she has as a female? Oy.
The one pass I can give Ouran on this plotline is I can't be certain the narrative itself is admonishing Haruhi or if it's just a way to put the guys' regressive views on display. We're still in the single-digit episodes after all, and this series has been nothing but clear about how glacially its character development is actually going to occur. Yet there's a thread of understanding their worries, regardless, in how the story is told, as Haruhi's badass moment of rushing in to save some Host Club guest girls from drunken molesters is kneecapped by her struggling against them and comments about her lack of musculature. A gag series like this, especially one that's already played plenty with the ideas of gender presentation, is kind of the last place I was expecting a cheap intonation of the supposed immutable differences between sexes. Half an hour ago I watched a three-foot-tall kid kick the crap out of a SWAT team, and here everyone's admonishing Haruhi because there's no way a girl could win a fight? I don't buy it.
It doesn't help that the storyline causes dudes like Honey or the twins to start guilting Haruhi like callous jerks, or, in the case of Kyoya, swerve straight into Shoujo dangerous-bad-boy mode. His momentary assault of Haruhi is some serious whiplash in a show that previously never approached that level of seriousness. It does get walked back in a way that effectively reminds us of Haruhi's true strength in being able to genuinely read people, making clear to us anyway that her rushing in was not about ignoring the worries of the Host Club but instead a sign of her trust in them. And I can't argue with this series injecting more drama into characters when I've spent so much time asking for it; indeed, I'm more interested in what's actually making Kyoya tick than I ever have been. But it might have been too much too soon in an episode that was already pushing how it treated Haruhi.
What I can praise episode 8 on is its last-minute development of Tamaki, who not only owns up to being wrong about any gender limitations he accused Haruhi of, but acknowledges the singular life she's lived until now as the real explanation for her attitude and interactions with the group. It's an impressive moment of growth because we can see him starting to interface with Haruhi's philosophy of understanding people as individuals apart from any socially-constructed signifiers. If Ouran is going to attempt a serious romantic thread before its end, then Tamaki's always been the obvious choice for the endgame just going off all his promotional positioning. But this moment between him and Haruhi at the end of this episode was the first place I got the feeling such a thing might actually work. Far from hinting at the potential for character development, this gave me hope for how much the show could pull it off. Plus, it still showed off its comic chops at this early stage by undercutting things and making Tamaki look like a doofus. I could watch them dunk on that guy all day.
So we get an episode with Ouran's comedic ability still on fine display, which throws in some solid character work for the last two main boys that needed it. But then it attempts more nuanced analysis that may not be ready for prime-time at this moment. I can't fault the show for being ambitious, but it's frustrating when those ambitions lead it down a path that undercuts the strengths I so enjoyed about it until now. Trying to put its cast through an emotional wringer while still having silly snake jokes and crab puns perhaps shows a skewing of priorities so early in the series as we are.

Tower of God - Episode 12 [Review]
I didn't think the penultimate episode of Tower of God would have me clamoring for Crunchyroll to redesign their website but here we are. “Underwater Hunt (Part Two)” ought to have concluded on a shocking cliffhanger, but I knew ages in advance that Rachel was up to no good. Even if I hadn't read some of the original webtoon the show is based on, and even if I wasn't on social media, I would still see the comments under each Tower of God video wishing ill on Rachel in increasingly colorful language. Now that it turns out that all Rachel did to deserve this vitriol was one extremely-telegraphed yeet, I'm sitting here wondering, “Why does Crunchyroll even have a comments section?” People call them the “Netflix of Anime” but just imagine what kind of hellhole a Netflix comments section would be. YouTube has comments to be sure, but they're not a place I'd like to spend a lot of time. However, my dashed expectations at the end are only a small part of the experience this week, an action-packed episode that crams in everything and the kitchen sink.
While each episode of Tower of God has been nonstop, this one took it up a notch. Every character we've met so far (and a few that we haven't) played a role this week. This episode never lets up as it switches between multiple high-stakes situations, which themselves are cliffhangers from last week. Rak continues to torment Paracule with his gung-ho personality, making for an entertaining interlude between more serious beats. Khun manages to game the wildly complicated system by pitting the earthpigs against the barnacle goblins and their wetworms—proving that an exam with this many different aggressors has an obvious loophole. But when a family member of Khun's shows up, it's a realization that even our resident strategist can't account for all of the Tower's unexpected twists. In this fast-paced anime we're only getting a taste of this world's internal politics, but there are so many factions with differing motivations that even Hansung Yu and Lero-Ro can't agree on how to administer this exam.
One thing that Hansung Yu is weirdly cool with: Ren (aka the evil riceball) running amok in the testing site and putting out hits on various contestants. By controlling the eldritch abomination known as the Bull, he's decided to take out the “imposters” Anaak and Endorsi, ostensibly on the orders of King Jahad. He offers Endorsi the chance to redeem herself by killing Anaak, but in a surprisingly sweet about-face, Endorsi instead invites Anaak to have lunch with her when this is all over. It was just a few episodes ago that these two were fighting each other pointlessly—neither girl willing to put aside her pride to avoid serious injuries. The power of friendship doesn't magically defeat Ren, but a fellow princess does. Lady Yuri finally returns to the testing area twelve episodes after her first appearance and proceeds to absolutely wreck the dude. We don't know much about Lady Yuri aside from the fact that she seems to be invincible as well as not subject to the rules in the same way as everyone else—the perfect ally for our protagonist Irregular and his team of what are now traitors for assisting him.
Speaking of traitors… Rachel took all of Bam's puppy-dog loyalty and literally pushed it away. It turns out she could walk the whole time; she was just holding onto that ability to increase the element of surprise. I get that this is supposed to really make me hate Rachel, but it's been a long time coming—though I'm not sure if it's the fans' constant disparagement or her multiple-episode coldness toward Bam that has fed that suspicion more. From using a fake name to avoid Bam, to commenting that she found Bam weak and annoying even during the honeymoon phase of their relationship, to quietly acknowledging but not reciprocating Bam's constant words of praise and affection… well, the writing has been on the wall that She's Just Not That Into You, Bam. Compared to the cluster of betrayals that occurred in episode 9, this wasn't such a shock. But even if it wasn't a huge surprise, the show did a great job using its impactful closing music to give additional pathos to the moments following the push. Hopefully this will encourage Bam to finally move on and find his own reason to climb the Tower. But, looking at how much hatred webtoon readers have for Rachel, I'm going to say probably not.

Kakushigoto - Episode 12 [Review]
After weeks of teasing disaster and despair, Kakushigoto finally pulls back the veil on its frame story and delivers a definitive conclusion for its father-daughter saga about manga artistry and dick jokes. Unlike prior episodes, this one takes place entirely in the somber flash-forward starring 18-year-old Hime, and even though it's a slight departure from the story's expected format and tonal variance, it feels appropriate. Kakushigoto has already spent so much time hyping up the mystery of its titular character's fate that there's no way it would've been able to squeeze something satisfying into just a minutes-long epilogue. That doesn't stop the finale from feeling a little bit strange, but on the other hand, we can all be thankful that Kōji Kumeta resisted the temptation to knock over his meticulously-arranged chessboard of character drama for one last spectacular goof. Instead, Kakushi and Hime find closure and a (mostly) secret-free path forward for their family.
Kumeta actually seems kind of embarrassed about how long he ended up stringing the audience along, based on how quickly he reveals all the narrative cards he was hiding. Hime is indeed Kakushi's real daughter. Kakushi himself was actually the illegitimate child. That only mattered because kabuki actors and traditional artists don't get along, apparently. His half-sister sent Hime the house key. His wife was lost at sea, and he could never fully accept that. He gave up on manga because his fans found out and thought that was weird. He's also not dead right now; he's just in a coma. And that's more or less it. All of this comes to light in the first five or so exposition-saturated minutes—more perfunctory than satisfying. The saving grace is that all these answers are pretty mundane and set the stage for the eventual reunion between Hime and her dad. Last-minute twists for the sake of it are difficult to pull off (and to be fair, Kakushigoto does try to pull a pretty big one that we'll get to shortly), so the way these naturally fizzle into the denouement is probably the best course it could have taken.
One issue I do rankle with is the valuation of blood relations, which is broached briefly when Hime's cousin reassures her that Kakushi is her “real” dad, to her vocalized relief. As a staunch appreciator of found families—especially those in some of my favorite anime series—I can't help but critique this small but nonetheless misguided focus on the “legitimacy” of their bond. Kakushi would have still been Hime's dad even if he had found her in a stalk of bamboo. This whole show was about the two of them taking care of each other, working through their problems, and celebrating the triumphs whenever they could, because they love each other. They're family!
The last-minute amnesia twist is also so shamelessly cloying that Kumeta can't help but lampoon himself yet again through the mouthpiece of Tomaruin. If I'm being charitable, I can accept it as symbolic of Kakushi's deep-seated reluctance to see Hime grow up and consequently learn the truth about his former occupation and passion. In reality as in fiction, there's a temptation for fathers in particular to infantilize their daughters. Thus, the key to Kakushi breaking through his amnesia is his acceptance that raising Hime and seeing her grow up into her own person was well worth working through his own discomfort and insecurity. That's both sweet and perceptive, but it's still tacked onto a cheap and cliché dramatic shortcut appended to the final ten minutes of the show.
Unsurprisingly, the tone of this episode is a lot more serious overall compared to its predecessors. However, buried just underneath the surface of the text is some of Kumeta's most quietly acerbic satire to be found in Kakushigoto, surfacing here as if he finally felt freed of the responsibility of sustaining cute father-daughter shenanigans. Most overt is the manner of Kakushi's accident, in which a man who tried to run away from the manga industry ends up hospitalized due to a pallet of manga falling on him. That's some tasty irony, but to take this one step further, the reason the pallet collapses is attributed to someone stealing a copy of Shonen Jump to leak to the internet. Many people (myself included) have at one point justified manga piracy to themselves, but here Kumeta doesn't mince any words about the harm it causes creators. While they might not be falling into conveniently tragic comas, there are plenty of other ways it hurts the people who, as Kakushigoto has frequently pointed out, don't have easy careers to begin with.
This finale in general doesn't paint a flattering portrait of the internet. A combination of tabloid journalism and vitriolic anonymous commenters dealt the final blow to Kakushi's ambitions of making people laugh. Granted, Kakushigoto doesn't (and couldn't) explore this facet with the intensity of something like Gatchaman Crowds, but it's not accidental that Kakushi's recovery—both from amnesia and from his manga block—stems from time spent together with people who care about him. Hime triggers his memories with a decidedly low-tech cardboard box full of musty manuscripts. It's a callback to the boxes her mother left for her, but it also shows the importance of the in-person interpersonal warmth Kakushi has been able to foster in spite of himself.
Ultimately, what works best in this finale is what has always worked best for Kakushigoto: the small and sincere moments shared between people who care about each other amidst their rampant wackiness. Whether it's Hime's classmates banding together for one last detective job, or Kakushi's former assistants dutifully drawing pages for a series that ended years ago, the bonds they've all forged transcend any attempt at secrecy. It adds up to a safe yet satisfying conclusion. Personally, in my heart of hearts, I'm always going to hold Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei as the paradigm of Kōji Kumeta manga and adaptations, but Kakushigoto was a nice change of pace and a relaxing companion for stressful times. I look forward to whatever Kumeta moves onto next with a mixture of anticipation and fear for the unmined depths of pun-making he can still unearth.

Listeners - Episode 12 [Review]
Here we have it, the big finale of Listeners, and like any sci-fi action series made after 2000, it's got to go out on a big emotional confrontation where the fate of the world hinges on magical robot powers that let enemies and allies alike understand eachother for the first time. At least this time the robot magic is also tied to music, which is actually a pretty good vehicle for facilitating empathy and one of the few times the show has managed to harmonize its musical aesthetic with its broader themes. Still, at this point it definitely feels like the story going through the motions of what's expected for it. There are still some buried gems in the dialogue – Roz gets probably the best line of the whole show when Denka starts to call Echo the second-coming of Jimi: “It's nothing so grand. All he did was express what was in his heart, and the world chose all by itself to be moved by it.” It's a perfect encapsulation about the act of making music, how it can be at once personal and powerfully external, and I came out of the climax really wishing those feelings had really been at the center of this story and conflict.
As is, Listeners' conclusion mostly serves as an object lesson in spoiled potential. There are multiple monologues and speeches during Mu and Echo's big confrontation that try to tie a bow on the questions of understanding, hope, and love that have been thrown around across the show's runtime, but through most of them I kept asking “wait, is that what you were trying to be about?” as the show seemed to self-assuredly wrap up on the sentiment of not labeling others and reaching out to learn who they really are. It's certainly not a bad moral to build your show around, but through the sprawling, cluttered stories Listeners has told that only ever felt like one of its many philosophical toys it would bring out when it wanted to add weight to its rock'n'roll robot dystopia.
And then there's Track 13, which makes up the back-half of this finale so we can double up on Beatles references, and tries to be a happy epilogue where Humans and Earless now live in harmony and everyone gets a new beginning, but also serves to throw in two very random twists that I cannot wrap my head around. The first is easily the dumbest, with the reveal that Lyde and Richie were alive the whole time and just off camera some where. It's a bizarre joke to end Nir's arc with, and pulls the rug out of what was one of the more emotionally effecting beats in the whole story. I get they didn't want to leave Nir alone and mourning when everyone else gets a happy ending, but there had to be a better way to go about it.
The other twist comes in the form of that elf looking kid in the review image, who looks so much like a fusion of Echo and Mu I initially thought that what they were. But the final post-credits scene assures us that our protagonists are alive and distinct, going on yet another adventure together, and they certainly haven't aged enough to have a kid either. Going by a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit in the climax I've got to assume that's the new form of Listeners, now that Mu's own personality has split off entirely, and I guess they get to start a new life coexisting with humans just like the other Earless. If that is the case, that's a real baffling way to conclude an already underdeveloped storyline, and making the delivery so vague just leaves me scratching my head rather than soaking in the good vibes of your happy ending. In all, these final scenes are just a strange, discordant note to go out on for the series.
So that's where I stand on the finale, but what about Listeners as a whole? Well...ok. I have made my fair share of musical puns and metaphors throughout Listeners' run, and I'm proud of every last terrible one of them, but there's a particular comparison I've been trying to hold off on until the show could play out its tracklist. It's not a damning comparison, nor a particularly kind one altogether, but having finished the show I think it's entirely fitting. Plus the show starts with an Oasis reference and ends on TWO Beatles name drops, so really it's inviting this:
Listeners is the Be Here Now of anime.
If you've watched this show for this long I assume that comparison makes sense to you, but for those who only know Oasis from the Eden of the East OP, Be Here Now is the band's 3rd full-length album and widely considered the bomb that took them from the biggest name in rock music to a faded memory of the mid-90's. While on the whole it's not a terrible album, it's a work defined by pretentious of grandiosity being undercut by a vapid, vacuous lack of real sentiment; an LP that intends to be profound but in the end feels too soupy and disjointed to achieve it. It's also littered with an embarrassing amount of Beatles references that only serve to remind you of much better songs you could be listening to instead of “Magic Pie.” And I don't even like The Beatles that much.
In much the same way, Listeners feels like a show too smothered by its influences and inspirations to ever say anything of its own. For all that it's slathered in broad and deep cuts of rock history, it ends up feeling like a cover version of its obvious sci-fi anime forebears, and only rarely manages to pull something unique from its mix of mech and music. As much as seeing anime-tastic versions of iconic musicians tickled my brain, it also left me wanting in a big way when it came down to what the show wanted to say. What made so many of the musical acts that Listeners name-drops so memorable was that their art had a sharp, personal, often intentionally counterculture sentiment behind it, and that never really shows up here. In the end it's not a bad show – the stories are mostly entertaining, and if you get a kick out of rock history in-jokes there's plenty to be found to amuse you – but I left wanting something, anything more.

Wave, Listen to Me! - Episode 12 [Review]
So this is how Wave, Listen to Me! ends: Not with a bang…but a 6.8 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Hokkaido! Yes, dear viewers, the show opted to end the season in a surprisingly grand fashion, showcasing everyone on the MRS team at their best as they work together to use the power of radio to unite the island and bring some peace of mind in times that are both literally and metaphorically darker than anyone expected. This isn't about tragedy, or death, and it doesn't even feel like a cheap grab at the real world earthquake disaster that is still a fresh wound in the minds of the whole Japanese populace. It's just a simple story with stakes that are a little bit bigger than normal, and it's all about how radio is a tool that can be used for truly extraordinary purposes when the time calls for it.
So, with those lofty and emotional ambitions established, how on earth did “I Want to Convey It To You” end up as such a letdown of a finale for an otherwise stellar and refreshing series? I'd seen rumblings that the season was going for something of an anime original conclusion already, mind you, so I was prepared for Wave to maybe pass over a couple of plot threads on its way to putting a bow on what might be its only run of episodes. Don't get me wrong, either, as an individual morsel of calculated pathos, “I Want to Convey It to You” works well enough, and if this was the penultimate chapter of the season or something I'm sure it would go down nicely. As the show's final and theoretically most emphatic statement of purpose, though? This episode is weak sauce, man, there's no way around it, even if this isn't anime original material.
My misgivings are all tied up in the way the episode both seems determined to address all of the plot threads its laid out across the past eleven episodes, while simultaneously failing to do anything remotely interesting with any of them. Take Makie for example: At the beginning of the episode, we see that she has actually been using the alias “Joker Stonsky” to work as a contributor to a radio program at HCB, which I presume is a rival station to MRS, which is significant because…well, I'm not sure, to be honest. There are a lot of things to infer, naturally, mainly to do with the romantic rivalry she shares with Minare, and she outright says that she's doing the work as an act of rebellion via independence, something that is hers and hers alone. That's all well and good, but I'm flummoxed as to why the show would include a plot thread like this in such a half-assed manner, only to completely forget about it once the earthquake hits. After that, Makie and Nakahara's cute bonding gets routed into turning Voyager into a makeshift soup kitchen for locals. Again, it's fine, but it all feels decidedly random.
Then there's Mizuho, whose angst over Kureko's imminent departure has been a stopping point across the last few episodes. Here, we get a bit more texture when we learn that a lecture of Kureko's is what got Mizuho interested in being a station assistant director to begin with, and then there's lots of her fretting over whether to pursue her “dream” of working with Kureko on her own show. After weeks of kind-of building this character arc up, the climax that Wave gives us is…Mizuho working up the nerve to just ask Kureko to work with her, which he says he will in his own curmudgeonly way. So, yeah, an incredibly minor crisis was capped off with an incredibly minor resolution.
”Okay,” I can hear you all saying, “Sure, but Wave was never the best at juggling a bunch of plot threads at once, especially in its back half. Surely, though, Minare and Kanetsugu get a worthy send off?” That, my poor hypothetical reader, is where I will have to disappoint you the most, because they really don't. Now, there is good stuff here, once the cool and collected Kanetsugu has to walk the panicky Minare through the routine emergency broadcast procedures. I liked the way Minare has to balance her anxious word vomit with her responsibilities as someone with broadcasting capability in an earthquake/blackout emergency. I liked how Minare didn't suddenly fall into her destiny as The Ultimate Local Hokkaidan Entertainment Personality when the chips were down; Chishiro had to step in to provide the measure of genuine authority that Minare doesn't quite project yet. I even kind of liked Kanetsugu turning on his Hardass Mode to keep Minare functional when things got crazy, (though someone maybe ought to let him know that it's 2020, man, and Minare doesn't need to have “balls” to be capable).
As a one-and-done after-school special sort of affair, this stuff works. It just makes for a lame finale to a whole season's worth of stories and development. We don't get any of the program's wacky visualization, we don't get to hear Minare interacting with her audience in a more personalized and non-earthquake-focused manner, and hell, the scene doesn't even work terribly well as a signifier that Minare has taken her first big step into a weird new career, even if it just the first of many. The best the show can do is have Mianre reflect on how amazing and powerful radio is at, like, bringing people together, man, and that she's more determined than ever to make her mark. We get not one, but two different treacly pop-song montages over scenes of the Hokkaidans making it through the night, and of Minare committing herself to radio once and for all.
I don't know how else to say this: It's corny as hell. Wave, Listen to Me! has been a lot of things over its twelve-episode run. It's been brash, bizarre, inventive, oddly touching, and frequently hilarious, sure, but more than anything, it's been honest. No matter how wacky or warped Minare's worldview painted things, this show, to me, has been about empathizing with Minare, and enjoying the ups-and-downs that come from starting a new and unpredictable chapter in one's life (oh, and bear fights! Wave has been about bear fights, too). The point is, for all of the things this finale did well, it's the first time I felt I could see all of the turning cogs and dancing strings holding the story together. It felt manipulative, albeit in a somewhat muted sense, and dishonest. Does that negate all of the wonderful things the series did in its best moments? Hardly. It's just a bummer of a note to go out on.

Ouran High School Host Club - Episodes 7-8 [Review]
I like when shows like Ouran High School Host Club, which revel in playing with their stock genre setups, arrive at the ‘obligatory’ swimsuit episode, since I get to revel right back by calling attention to it. So what better joy can there be here for me than Ouran actually having two swimsuit episodes, in a row, which line up directly with this week's review block? At last, the multi-episode synergy benefits the analysis of the reviewer! What's that, they're actually wildly different from each other in intent and tone? I'm ruined!
Seriously though, that just means there's plenty to ruminate on across both these episodes despite their superficially similar subject matter. Episode 7 sees the Host Club take a day off for themselves to relax at a cutting-edge resort waterpark, owned by Kyoya's family in one of several links these episodes do share. They go for the most obvious gag fuel first: the Hitachiin twins conspiring to try to get Haruhi into a feminine swimsuit, and Tamaki interfering as his own conflicted feelings on the matter manifest. Since their turn a couple episodes ago made clear the bros might have more serious romantic designs on Haruhi apart from their usual playful flirting, it seems Tamaki has adjusted to regarding them as an actual threat to his own intentions. Oddly, this makes him come across as more sincerely protective of Haruhi from their overt lascivious intent, though his newfound couching of such concerns in acting as her ‘Daddy’ is more than a little off-putting in its own way. It's still funny, because Mamoru Miyano doing anything this ridiculous is always funny and Tamaki continues to not be taken seriously at all. But it still does so in that mid-2000's shoujo way that makes me side-eye how far some of these jokes might go.
Tamaki's not the main event though, as this is ostensibly a focal episode for Honey and Mori, the two club members still pending any development at all. And this episode actually delivers on that need in pretty much the best ways I could have asked it to. Honey has been a complete enigma to me, as I question how much of his childlike persona is as much of a projection as the other boys' character types, obfuscated as it is by the vagueness of his actual age. But the same kinds of depths behind his presentation start coming to the surface here, indicating that he's well aware of his own cute kid nature and how to play it up, and showing that he's very capable of taking care of himself. Mori, for his part, gets some decent development vis-à-vis his loyalty to Honey and how the other characters explain it.
I'm honestly not 100% down with the supposed explanation that Mori is obligatorily deferential to Honey due to his family's past of servitude, but at least Haruhi seems to agree with me on that one. That makes it somewhat sweeter when he assists Haruhi out of what seems to be the same kind of generalized loyalty to his friends. So there's a lot of digging still to be done on Mori's character, but Honey's childlike earnestness still seems to come through in a real way. Despite some odder ins and outs detailing his and Mori's relationship, I dug his appreciable demeanor towards his much taller friend. Honey is a good example of why I've been hoping so hard that Ouran would add more nuance and layers to its characters, since that gives me more reasons to enjoy watching them. Plus there's a scene this episode where Honey single-handedly beats up a bunch of cops. So I might have a new favorite.
The implications of Ouran's relationship developments are decidedly messier to parse in the eighth episode, which takes a suggestion by Haruhi from that previous one and runs with it all the way to a real beach (also owned by Kyoya). This one also sees the club actually performing their hostly duties while lounging around in swimwear, and it's always a delight to be reminded of Haruhi's complete inability to turn her natural swag off. That does dovetail into the overarching conflict this episode, beginning with the boys trying to discover if the perpetually-unflappable Haruhi actually has anything that can distress her, and halfway through turns to... them scolding Haruhi for forgetting the inherent weaknesses she has as a female? Oy.
The one pass I can give Ouran on this plotline is I can't be certain the narrative itself is admonishing Haruhi or if it's just a way to put the guys' regressive views on display. We're still in the single-digit episodes after all, and this series has been nothing but clear about how glacially its character development is actually going to occur. Yet there's a thread of understanding their worries, regardless, in how the story is told, as Haruhi's badass moment of rushing in to save some Host Club guest girls from drunken molesters is kneecapped by her struggling against them and comments about her lack of musculature. A gag series like this, especially one that's already played plenty with the ideas of gender presentation, is kind of the last place I was expecting a cheap intonation of the supposed immutable differences between sexes. Half an hour ago I watched a three-foot-tall kid kick the crap out of a SWAT team, and here everyone's admonishing Haruhi because there's no way a girl could win a fight? I don't buy it.
It doesn't help that the storyline causes dudes like Honey or the twins to start guilting Haruhi like callous jerks, or, in the case of Kyoya, swerve straight into Shoujo dangerous-bad-boy mode. His momentary assault of Haruhi is some serious whiplash in a show that previously never approached that level of seriousness. It does get walked back in a way that effectively reminds us of Haruhi's true strength in being able to genuinely read people, making clear to us anyway that her rushing in was not about ignoring the worries of the Host Club but instead a sign of her trust in them. And I can't argue with this series injecting more drama into characters when I've spent so much time asking for it; indeed, I'm more interested in what's actually making Kyoya tick than I ever have been. But it might have been too much too soon in an episode that was already pushing how it treated Haruhi.
What I can praise episode 8 on is its last-minute development of Tamaki, who not only owns up to being wrong about any gender limitations he accused Haruhi of, but acknowledges the singular life she's lived until now as the real explanation for her attitude and interactions with the group. It's an impressive moment of growth because we can see him starting to interface with Haruhi's philosophy of understanding people as individuals apart from any socially-constructed signifiers. If Ouran is going to attempt a serious romantic thread before its end, then Tamaki's always been the obvious choice for the endgame just going off all his promotional positioning. But this moment between him and Haruhi at the end of this episode was the first place I got the feeling such a thing might actually work. Far from hinting at the potential for character development, this gave me hope for how much the show could pull it off. Plus, it still showed off its comic chops at this early stage by undercutting things and making Tamaki look like a doofus. I could watch them dunk on that guy all day.
So we get an episode with Ouran's comedic ability still on fine display, which throws in some solid character work for the last two main boys that needed it. But then it attempts more nuanced analysis that may not be ready for prime-time at this moment. I can't fault the show for being ambitious, but it's frustrating when those ambitions lead it down a path that undercuts the strengths I so enjoyed about it until now. Trying to put its cast through an emotional wringer while still having silly snake jokes and crab puns perhaps shows a skewing of priorities so early in the series as we are.

Tower of God - Episode 12 [Review]
I didn't think the penultimate episode of Tower of God would have me clamoring for Crunchyroll to redesign their website but here we are. “Underwater Hunt (Part Two)” ought to have concluded on a shocking cliffhanger, but I knew ages in advance that Rachel was up to no good. Even if I hadn't read some of the original webtoon the show is based on, and even if I wasn't on social media, I would still see the comments under each Tower of God video wishing ill on Rachel in increasingly colorful language. Now that it turns out that all Rachel did to deserve this vitriol was one extremely-telegraphed yeet, I'm sitting here wondering, “Why does Crunchyroll even have a comments section?” People call them the “Netflix of Anime” but just imagine what kind of hellhole a Netflix comments section would be. YouTube has comments to be sure, but they're not a place I'd like to spend a lot of time. However, my dashed expectations at the end are only a small part of the experience this week, an action-packed episode that crams in everything and the kitchen sink.
While each episode of Tower of God has been nonstop, this one took it up a notch. Every character we've met so far (and a few that we haven't) played a role this week. This episode never lets up as it switches between multiple high-stakes situations, which themselves are cliffhangers from last week. Rak continues to torment Paracule with his gung-ho personality, making for an entertaining interlude between more serious beats. Khun manages to game the wildly complicated system by pitting the earthpigs against the barnacle goblins and their wetworms—proving that an exam with this many different aggressors has an obvious loophole. But when a family member of Khun's shows up, it's a realization that even our resident strategist can't account for all of the Tower's unexpected twists. In this fast-paced anime we're only getting a taste of this world's internal politics, but there are so many factions with differing motivations that even Hansung Yu and Lero-Ro can't agree on how to administer this exam.
One thing that Hansung Yu is weirdly cool with: Ren (aka the evil riceball) running amok in the testing site and putting out hits on various contestants. By controlling the eldritch abomination known as the Bull, he's decided to take out the “imposters” Anaak and Endorsi, ostensibly on the orders of King Jahad. He offers Endorsi the chance to redeem herself by killing Anaak, but in a surprisingly sweet about-face, Endorsi instead invites Anaak to have lunch with her when this is all over. It was just a few episodes ago that these two were fighting each other pointlessly—neither girl willing to put aside her pride to avoid serious injuries. The power of friendship doesn't magically defeat Ren, but a fellow princess does. Lady Yuri finally returns to the testing area twelve episodes after her first appearance and proceeds to absolutely wreck the dude. We don't know much about Lady Yuri aside from the fact that she seems to be invincible as well as not subject to the rules in the same way as everyone else—the perfect ally for our protagonist Irregular and his team of what are now traitors for assisting him.
Speaking of traitors… Rachel took all of Bam's puppy-dog loyalty and literally pushed it away. It turns out she could walk the whole time; she was just holding onto that ability to increase the element of surprise. I get that this is supposed to really make me hate Rachel, but it's been a long time coming—though I'm not sure if it's the fans' constant disparagement or her multiple-episode coldness toward Bam that has fed that suspicion more. From using a fake name to avoid Bam, to commenting that she found Bam weak and annoying even during the honeymoon phase of their relationship, to quietly acknowledging but not reciprocating Bam's constant words of praise and affection… well, the writing has been on the wall that She's Just Not That Into You, Bam. Compared to the cluster of betrayals that occurred in episode 9, this wasn't such a shock. But even if it wasn't a huge surprise, the show did a great job using its impactful closing music to give additional pathos to the moments following the push. Hopefully this will encourage Bam to finally move on and find his own reason to climb the Tower. But, looking at how much hatred webtoon readers have for Rachel, I'm going to say probably not.
