Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episodes 74-75 [Review]

The gang makes a little bit of progress on the Mitsuki front in this week's double-sized Boruto. Despite being able to subdue Boruto and Sarada, Team 10 ultimately decides to scrap their mission to bring them back to the Leaf, opting instead to accompany them on their quest. Soon after, the group reaches Ryuchi Cave, which initially appears to be a lavish palace. Although the Sage's retainers seem welcoming, it isn't long before they reveal their true intent: testing the gang's worthiness of seeing their master. Should the group fail in this task, they will be eaten. After passing several tests, Boruto is allowed to meet with the Sage. However, the old woman claims that all she's able to do is teach Sage Art to worthy students—not analyze the thoughts of snakes. Following some prodding, the Sage agrees to comply with Boruto's request if the group is able to defeat Garaga, a giant snake who resides in the cave's deepest regions, and bring her his Reverse Scale, as this will make him subservient. As the gang sets off to face their latest opponent, the Sage informs her servants that because the young shinobi are certain to die, she doesn't anticipate upholding her end of the bargain.

Though one episode leads right into the next, thematically, these episodes don't make sense as a single hour-long special. (Granted, this wasn't necessarily the reason they aired together.) While each one solidly stands on its own, 74 and 75 are difficult to judge as a single entity, given their tonal differences and settings. The former is a competently produced action episode, while the latter leans into light horror, surrealism, and folklore. Episode 74 feels like an organic next step for the story, whereas 75 appears to be the beginning of an arc-within-an-arc. (Which wouldn't be much of an issue if the audience weren't still in the dark about Mitsuki's fate.)

Teams 7 and 10 deciding to join forces and search for Mitsuki together is a fairly predictable story beat, but it's interesting that the one thing Shikadai in unable to predict—the presence of Mitsuki's snake—is what makes him realize that the village's narrative doesn't fit together. Orochimaru sending Suigetsu to distract Moegi is also an impressive bit of foresight, as the former villain smartly predicted that Ino-Shika-Cho would decide to assist Team 7 despite never actually meeting them. This may represent an evolution in Orochimaru's views on the value of friendship—or, as Suigetsu suggests, it could simply be a matter of parental concern. Either way, moves like this indicate that Naruto's one-time main villain is serious about turning over a new leaf.

Episode 75's creepy atmosphere and folklore homages are this action-free installment's best assets. Unfortunately, the whole “three trials” trope comes across as too simplistic, as do the nature of the challenges Boruto is forced to face. Regardless, the Sage's retainers are legitimately scary, and they help sell the idea that the gang is in actual peril—even though this may technically be one of their lowest-key challenges to date. Hopefully, the forthcoming fight with Garaga will entail Boruto discovering a direct clue as to Mitsuki's whereabouts, because if not, it will simply serve to pad this arc even further. Given this show's track record of mixed results, it's easy to see either scenario playing out.

Though Mitsuki drives the plot at every turn, he's being pushed even further into the background despite occupying such a central role. While entertaining in their own right, the episode-length skirmish with Team 10 and the challenges posed by the Sage and her servants feel like diversions, keeping both Boruto and the audience from learning more about his missing friend. Mitsuki suddenly vanishing may be what set this arc in motion, but his continued lack of presence is starting to feel like a ploy for time on the show's part.

داستان (منبع)

Xian: the state of immortality that all cultivators strive to achieve. However, there is a dark energy that lies underneath—the forbidden Mo Dao, or demonic path. Through an unfortunate series of tragedies, this is the path that cultivator Wei Wuxian experiments with during his teachings. His rise in power is accompanied by chaos and destruction, but his reign of terror comes to an abrupt end when the cultivation clans overpower him and he is killed by his closest ally.

Thirteen years later, Wei Wuxian is reincarnated in the body of a lunatic and reunited with Lan Wangji, a former classmate of his. This marks the beginning of a supernatural mystery that plagues the clans and threatens to disrupt their everyday life.

Mo Dao Zu Shi follows these two men on their mission to unravel the mysteries of the spiritual world. Fighting demons, ghosts, and even other cultivators, the two end up forming a bond that neither of them had ever expected.

** آهنگ شروع انیمه **

طوفانی از رفتن ها در گذشته

مغرورانه به فلک چشم میدوزم

با لطافت فلوت را وقارانه نوازش میکنم

در مقر ابر

در کنار لبخند امپراطور

حکم فرمایی بر سرزمینی زود گذر است

این بود رویای بیهودۀ یک روح تنها

هم به دنبال خرما هستم و هم خدا

جنجالی به راه می اندازم

تک و تنها در برابر همه قد علم می‌کنم

من هنوز

احساس وجودی ام را رها نکرده ام

زندگی ای همچون مرفهی بی درد

خیر و شر هر دو خیالی واهی اند

اما زخم‌هایی که روی قلبم نقش بسته اند محو نخواهند شد

در این زندگی

دنیایی عاری از هرگونه درد و رنجی رویایی بیش نیست

گرچه من از خواسته‌های دنیوی دوری می‌کنم

مسیرمان متفاوت است ولی دوستی مان همچنان پا برجاست

حتی با این جوانمردی

افسوس که همه چیز بی ارزش واقع شد

خیر و شر همچو سیاهی و سپیدی اند

اما مرز بین عشق و نفرت همچنان نامشخص است

آشناییمان همچو یک خواب است

** آهنگ پایانی انیمه **

بر روی کوهساران

از میان دریاها

زیر ماه

سرمایی از میان سنتورم می‌گذرد

همانطور که تفکراتم را برای نسیم بازگو می‌کنم

نوایش محو می‌شود

جرعه ای از لبخند امپراطور

برای خیالی از هم گسسته

گل‌ها شکوفه می‌دهند و پژمرده می‌شوند

برگ‌های خزان شده جمع می‌شوند

جمال و نجابتی است در ایستادگی

با قلبی ویران

در میان این آشفتگی برمیخیزم

شمشیرم همچو بادی سهمناک به پرواز در می‌آید

موسیقی پایان می‌یابد و جمعیت ناپدید می‌شوند

اما احساسات من پابرجایند

لحظات دم به دم می‌گذرند

شکوفه‌های بهاری باز می‌گردند

خرگوش‌ها به مقر ابر می‌پرند

سال‌ها می‌گذرند

کیست که هنوز این احساسات یک طرفه را به یاد داشته باشد؟

شب در دلش لطافتی دارد

بهارهای سرد موج میزنند

خاطراتش در اذهانم آشکار می‌شوند

نوایی میزنم

یک بار دگر

در خواب‌هایم می‌خندی

Black Clover - Episode 50 [Review]

Black Clover - Episode 50 [Review]

With the Vetto fight finally over, it's time for some relaxation. Of all the big battles we've faced so far in Black Clover, the sentimental falling action feels more earned here than usual, but that's almost entirely because the fight itself was so good, because otherwise there are some tough shortcomings. It's going for a very One Piece-y vibe where the heroes end the arc all beaten and battered, and the locals patch them up and thank them as they leave. It'd be much sweeter and more beautiful if the arc's narrative strengths had anything to do with the people living in the Underwater Temple, which they certainly did not. (Aside from maybe Kahono)

Right off the bat we discover that the old man had lied about possessing the magic stone because he wanted to initiate the battle royale. It turns out he didn't even know what the magic stone was to begin with and the only reason the Black Bulls were able to obtain it was because Asta's bird just found it laying around offscreen during the fight. The whole battle royale set-up is still so baffling to me. Now that the arc's over we can see the through-line in full and it's a cooky old man holding his grandchildren's dreams hostage for fun so the viewers at home can watch a dull tournament that gets interrupted immediately, and none of it mattered on any conceivable level.

Which brings us Kahono and Kiato, who have suffered the most in the fallout of the Vetto fight. Kahono's lost her vocal chords and Kiato lost his leg. Even though she's lost most of her voice, Kahono can still speak to Noelle telepathically and they share a nice moment together. Kahono's a good girl and you hope she can recover sooner than later, and her friendship with Noelle is a genuine and heartfelt beat that I wish could have been explored with more lucidity in the arc itself.

Also in need of some rest and relaxation is Asta, who's broken both of his arms and gets to spend the episode dual-weilding a pair of slings. It's a really funny visual, but more so I really appreciate the scene where he and Yami pay their respects to Vetto's corpse. Vetto was by far the show's most effective villain yet, and he isn't simply knocked-out or imprisoned. He's straight-up dead, and it's not without recognizing that there's some kind of injustice at the heart of the Clover Kingdom giving birth to villains like the Eye of the Midnight Sun. I thought the extraordinarily entertaining fight was enough to warrant a moment of silence, but the show offers Vetto sincere sympathy for the ambiguous despair he's been carrying throughout his life.

So that's a wrap on the Underwater Temple arc. It was like a delicious sandwich being held proudly together by two slices of stale, moldy bread. The Vetto fight alone is enough to call this the best arc of the series to date, and it's a good thing that it makes up about 80% of the arc because it exists in spite of some honestly garbage material. This is a conservatively animated conclusion that in equal parts cuts to the heart of its most important characters and suffers from the fundamentally weak storytelling that kickstarted the arc. I want to say I really enjoyed myself, and I did, but it still has some serious issues.

Free! -Dive to the Future- Episode 11 [Review]

There are shows that tell a story and shows that share a highlight reel, and right now, Free! Dive to the Future is the latter. Like flipping through an old school yearbook, this episode distills its story down to the casts' highest highs, lowest lows, partings and reunions. After a season in which everyone has been scattered around Japan and beyond, “Streamline of Unity!” united the full cast (or close to it) in Tokyo. With a lot of deep cuts for fans of the franchise, this episode was heavy on continuity. However, it was light on substance, reminding us that when push comes to shove, this is a story about relationships first and a swimming anime second.

After nearly three seasons, a movie, and several OVAs, Free! has a lot of material to rely on, and this episode took full advantage of that. Viewers might remember Rei and Asahi meeting for the first time in middle school, or they might not. Either way, there's a flashback just in case. Viewers might remember in season two when Momotaro saw Rin's chest muscles and thought they looked like cleavage. If they do, his sister Isuzu's comment to Gou about her brother's chest won't seem to be entirely out of left field. If viewers happened to watch Free! -Take Your Marks-, they'll recognize why the current Iwatobi members react to meeting Makoto and Haru the way they do—they remember them from the Arabian Nights-style recruitment video. The viewer certainly remembers Rei and Nagisa's three-year friendship, so that particular highlight reel is just nostalgia. In general, this is all capitalizing on the character and relationship development that Free! has been cultivating for years—precisely so it can make tiny nudges now for big viewer payoff. If you're a diehard fan, these moments are imbued with so much significance that it feels at least a little less low-effort.

Swimming is the reason the cast is once again united, but it's not the source of the action or the drama. Rei wins his race and Nagisa loses his, but it doesn't seem to have any point in the grand scheme of things. I have questions about how Rei can come in first in his race at the national tournament but still not advance, but I'm no high school swimming expert. We don't really find out about anybody placing nationally, and the plot indicates that it doesn't matter. What does matter? The power of friendship. See Rin and Haru hang out, minus the angst! See Rin and Sousuke hang out, also angst Free! Ditto for Nagisa and Ai, Nagisa and Rei, and so on. Forget about Albert, the other rival guy in the newspaper, and anything to do with Hiyori and all that drama. This was almost story-Free!, just a montage reel of beloved characters.

Overall, this reflects the same thing I've been saying all season. The cast is huge. There's tons of material to build on. Sometimes the series gets halfway cohesive by becoming more myopic, centering on just one swimmer and his relationships to other people in the cast. (We've seen this when both Makoto and Ikuya got episodes.) But most of the time, it's a potpourri of glimpses of your favorite swimming boys in seemingly random order. It's still cute and sometimes even heartwarming, but it's only because there's so much great stuff in the canon already that this show can afford to coast on.

Overlord III - Episode 11 [Review]

Overlord III - Episode 11 [Review]

It was pretty much a given that things were not going to go well for Prince Barbro at Carne Village, to the point that I didn't expect him to survive the scenario. (And really, would he be missed? Even his father, the king, seems to regard him more as a burden than a successor.) However, I doubt anyone who hasn't read ahead expected that he would be defeated in such a manner.

Him getting finished off by Lupisregina makes total sense, but things got to that point in an eye-popping manner. I liked the way things were handled up until the big reveal, with both sides making somewhat sensible decisions. The village having been saved from destruction by Ains assured their loyalty (he should probably care a bit more about the village as a whole, since it's the first population that he won over in this world without the use of force or bald-faced deception), but they also thought their strategy through, while on the Prince's side they were savvy enough to realize that some kind of deception might be going on when only five ogres showed and thus sent pursuers around to the back side. The problem was the Enri still had an ace up her sleeve, one much more potent than either she or Ains realized.

And man, what an ace! Instead of a small troop of goblins, this horn gets her a full elite goblin army that's plenty capable of taking on a 5,000-human army, all fully loyal to "General Enri." The seemingly-endless parade of all of the elite goblin units was a bit overdone, getting so ridiculous that it actually became amusing, but Ains' shocked reaction at seeing what all appeared was well worth it. The notion that one of his cast-off items had an incredibly potent hidden ability that only triggered under special circumstances (that he was unlikely to ever meet) is an interesting additional twist, though with only a couple of episodes left in the season and a major battle to be fought, I can't see that going anywhere. Still, the presence of the goblin army effectively makes Carne Village into a military new power and will inadvertently bolster Ains' position. I have to wonder at how the logistics for the army will be maintained, as this is a whole 'nother level of providing housing, food, etc. over the existing goblins, but I'm also guessing that's an issue that the series won't get to this season, either.

There were a couple of nice character moments too, especially Enri's embarrassment at being called Chief by all of the villagers and the first real romantic tension with Nphirea. The artistry, however, did not impress. While I've definitely seen worse in the past couple of years for CG, this definitely wasn't a high-end effort for massed troop movements. Ultimately it was only a minor distraction, and now we should all be set for the big battle against Re-Estize Kingdom.

One Piece - Episode 853 [Review]

So we've now established the three battlefronts facing our heroes: Luffy's fighting Katakuri in the mirror world to keep the mochi man from interfering with his crew, Sanji, Pudding, and Chiffon are on Cacao island, baking Big Mom's replacement wedding cake as fast as they can, and the remainder of the Straw Hats sailing the waters of Totto Land to avoid a starving Big Mom and her massive fleet. There are a few ways in which these individual scenes can still interact and influence each other, like Katakuri's flunkies having access to the Sunny through its unbroken mirrors, and the plan to take the cake itself to sea once it's ready.

So far we've gotten episodes that have covered Luffy and Sanji's subplots pretty thoroughly, and this week we're putting our focus back on the Sunny crew and their naval battle. Sadly, the recent surge of quality for the One Piece anime is starting to simmer, and it's falling back into its usual stiffness. It's an extra shame because the centerpiece of the episode is adapting one of my absolute favorite scenes in the arc. Big Mom uses her soul powers to possess the water itself and animate a giant tidal wave (complete with a big cartoon face in the middle that's equal parts dopey and menacing), and Jimbei takes the wheel to steer the ship towards the danger and narrowly surf through the "green room", the open space within a collapsing wave.

With Jimbei's formal recruitment into the Straw Hats imminent, the audience has been wondering what his official job on the crew was going to be. Jimbei as the helmsman has always been the most realistic guess, but it's always been speculation based purely on the fact that we briefly saw him steering a ship hundreds of episodes ago. This episode makes it crystal clear that's where he's heading, and it makes perfect sense. It's a great confirmation scene that requires Jimbei to pull of a massive feat of technical skill. If he screwed up, they all would have died, so it feels nice to know our fish uncle is so reliable.

Unfortunately, as much as I like this scene in essence, it's barely a step above the rest of this chore of an episode. It's extremely underwhelming in execution and you can tell the anime's going to hit a rough patch while we wait for the next big exciting turn to get the anime staff enthusiastic again. The scenes that cut back to Luffy and Sanji's parts are also at risk of getting tiresome already, since they're easy padding for the episode. It always sucks when the anime can take something good and ruin it by repeating it too many times—which is where Sanji and Pudding are for me at the moment.

This is a limp episode that covers some good material that serves as a benchmark for Jimbei's painfully endless journey to Straw Hat Land. It's also a really novel use of Big Mom's powers, with a giant tidal wave being a perfect beat to really hammer home how aggressive and inescapable the villains are, but the heightened drama just doesn't come through enough this week.

Gintama - Episode 364 [Review]

Even with the series' Big Bad purportedly vanquished several episodes ago, all is far from well in the Gintama-verse. With the Tendoshu rumored to be making a comeback and terrorist attacks occurring on planets with nationalized Altana, a brand new battle appears to be in store for our heroes. Although Gintoki is able to track down Takasugi (and inadvertently meet up with Matako and Takechi in the process), the two are soon set upon by a battalion of plain-clothes assassins who bear the mark of the Naraku. Through several ham-fisted attempts at teamwork, the duo is able to defeat the assassins before setting sail on a ship Takasugi prepared. As it turns out, the attackers were after Shoyo's heart, which Gintoki is currently in possession of.

Meanwhile, back in Edo, Sogo and “Kanna” continue to duke it out. During their skirmish, Sogo reveals that although the Shinsengumi are rumored to have disbanded, many of its former members are currently working in the shadows to eliminate threats to the country. He also claims that having Mutsu deliver Kanna was part of a larger plan to bring Gintoki, whose help is needed in combating a larger threat, out of hiding. When Sogo begins directing his attacks at Shinpachi, Kanna alters her age and size and reveals herself to be Kagura. Having somehow learned the technique used by the Yato elder from earlier in the season, Kagura opines that despite two years of searching, she hasn't found a way to awaken Sadaharu.

Three episodes into Silver Soul's third act, the action has already been turned up to eleven—even if the majority of it is humorous in nature. Gintoki and Takasugi's bickering and Gin's newly revealed (One Piece-esque) inability to swim set the stage for lots of humorous banter and creative fight sequences. It's always fun to see the perpetually stoic Takasugi brought down to Gintoki's level, and the duo's various methods of fending off their attackers while fighting one another make for some of this week's funniest gags. Matako and Takechi aren't given much to do this week, but now that they've confirmed their fearless leader's survival, they'll probably be able to rest a little easier. Their presence also facilitates what is arguably the best “Takechi impersonates Takasugi” gag the show has ever given us.

The revelation that Kanna is, in fact, Kagura isn't terribly surprising, but it probably wasn't meant to be. Although one of the main characters having a surprise daughter (after only two years) is an effective parody of other flash-forward epilogues, Kanna's presence stood to make Kagura redundant if the latter was indeed her mother. (Plus, Tamako already has the whole “miniaturized version of a regular character” schtick covered.) It's disappointing to learn that no progress has been made on the Sadaharu front, but the pup's eventual awakening will likely serve as an important plot point moving forward.

Each week, the proceedings feel less and less like an epilogue and more like an entirely new arc. If approached with this mindset, we may be looking at the beginning of one of Gintama's most promising storylines yet. In the past, the characters acknowledged that the show utilized a floating timeline, thus preventing the characters from aging, and taking the story into the future represents a bold move for any comedy. (The future presented in the second movie was a “bad end” scenario instead of the genuine article.) At present, there are too many plot threads and character arcs that need to be resolved before the series can reach a satisfactory conclusion. With the recent announcement that the parent manga failed to conclude as planned and will publish its real final chapters in Giga Jump, it's become clear that Gintama isn't going away any time soon.

خلاصه داستان (منبع)

In the year 1930, vampires have infiltrated Tokyo to feast upon its unsuspecting citizens. As the number of victims continues to rise, the city's authorities decide to hire the Jaegers—a strange, diverse group of individuals tasked by the V Shipping Company to hunt down vampires around the world. Carrying musical instrument cases to disguise their identity, the Jaegers battle the vampires with the same mercilessness demonstrated by their foes.

Yuliy, the Jaeger's most skilled warrior, is the sole survivor of a vampire raid on his home village. Using the strength granted by his werewolf blood, he works with his team to assist Tokyo's law enforcement with the city's vampire problem. Though under the pretense of helping the police, the Jaegers are actually fighting the vampires over the mystical Ark of Sirius. With its power to change the fate of the world, Yuliy and his friends must locate the artifact before the vampires can use it to achieve their destructive goals.

Steins;Gate 0 - Episode 21 [Review]

When I review a series, I try to avoid comparing the product at hand to whatever innumerable versions of it could have been, but I almost couldn't help myself with episode 21 of Steins;Gate 0. The plot primarily focuses on Okabe making a series of arduous time leaps to get back from 2036 to 2011, and though Maho's improvements to the Time Leap Machine allow for two-week leaps up to a point, eventually Okabe will have to revert back to the old two-day jumps. This means that it will take hundreds, if not thousands of leaps for Okabe to get where he needs to be, and all the while he has to deal with the physical pain of reawakening from his coma over and over, not to mention the work of re-explaining his situation. While Okabe has been in a dire cycle of time-leaps before, this kind of bleak, Sisyphean struggle feels like an honest attempt at engaging with Steins;Gate 0's untapped dramatic potential.

So it's a shame that the story has to rush through it all in a single episode. Obviously, extending this particular vision of Okabe's repetitive and draining quest for more than just an episode or two wouldn't make for good TV; it would be as miserable to watch as it must have been for Okabe to experience. But with a few tweaks and some spiced-up drama to fill in the gaps between time-leaps, I could see this premise serving as a much more interesting and propulsive hook for Steins;Gate 0 than what we've gotten for the past twenty weeks, a version of the show that allows us more time to fully reckon with this ruined future while also giving our hero a more engaging narrative focus. I'm not arguing that all of Steins;Gate should have been about Okabe's right to salvage Operation Arclight, but consider how much time this show has frittered away on stuff like Daru's Date Night and the Kagari plot (which still has yet to go anywhere). If this storyline had been given even just a half-dozen more episodes to breathe and get creative with how it handled the usual Steins;Gate formula, the series as a whole would feel much more satisfying as a companion piece to the original series.

That isn't what we got though, so we'll just have to make do with an episode that does a decent job with the material it was given. The direction and writing is slightly improved in the episode's first two-thirds – the narrative stakes and Okabe's own anguished resolve feel earned, unlike last week's inert and manipulative outing. Future Daru and Future Maho still don't get much to do beyond offer exposition, and even a reunion with Faris and Rukako blows by with little fanfare.

Amadeus is treated a bit better, serving as Okabe's guide and anchor as he travels further and further back in time, but the attempts at wringing some pathos out of her relationship with Okabe don't work for me. The AI has more or less wasted her potential as a tragic echo of the real Makise Kurisu, and she hasn't been given nearly enough screen-time to work as a character in her own right. This late in the game, Amadeus mostly feels like an excuse for Asami Imai and Mamoru Miyano to keep performing with one another. The scene where Amadeus and the rest of the Future Gadget Lab work to fend off the Strafor Forces so Okabe can avoid being captured and killed is fine, I guess, but it doesn't provide the warm-fuzzy feelings of camaraderie and hopefulness that I think it's going for. It's just another dot for the plot to connect before sending Okabe back to where we last left him, bursting into the lab to warn Present Day Daru and Maho about the imminent attack coming from Leskinen and his goons.

What happens next does manage to deliver those warm-fuzzies, as Daru gives Okabe a compliant right-hook to the face, and Hououin Kyouma emerges from the crumpled heap on the floor. Yeah, the animation and cinematography of this long-awaited return was wonky, but I don't think that could ruin the scene for even jaded fans. Seeing Okabe cackle maniacally and don his signature lab coat once more was a treat, made all the funnier by Maho's bewildered reaction at all of this, because of course she'd be freaked out. The stoic super scientist she's been crushing on all series is now rambling like a bug-eyed madman.

Kyouma's return is appropriately punctuated by a lab-coat swoosh and a dramatic declaration of “El-Psy-Congroo”, and even the incredibly stupid Leskinen scene from a few weeks back gets a nice payoff when Hououin Kyouma manages to out mad-scientist the mad scientist, with a little help from a battle-clad Moeka, who has gone far too long with nothing useful to do. I'm not at all crazy about the ending though, which sees the time machine possibly getting blown up again. To pull out that cliffhanger now after spending weeks trying to come back from the last time Suzuha and Mayuri exploded just feels lazy and anticlimactic. Steins;Gate 0 may have managed to put together at least one more decent episode before the season wraps up for good, but that final shot is just another reminder that this show has been a bumpy ride indeed, and I don't expect that to change in the season's final weeks.

Free! -Dive to the Future- Episode 10 [Review]

By centering on just one character, this episode was the most successful of all Free! -Dive to the Future- so far. Whether you like Makoto or not (and if you like Free!, how could you not?), it's a relief to see the story this week from just one point-of-view. In “The Grab Start of Hope!” Makoto is our avatar and connection to the Free! universe, but he is not a passive one. As Makoto interacts with the people around him, he grows too. After weeks of whipping around from one character to the next every other minute, this steady focus on one person's story and development is a relief.

While the majority of the episode focuses on Makoto, it actually begins with Rin. Visual repetition makes the hand-off go smoothly. While Rin and Sousuke catch up and Rin asks an emotionally-charged question about Sousuke's surgery, a water droplet on a cafe glass is a stand-in for Rin's unseen tears. Almost directly after that, while Makoto and Nao discuss Haru's devastating (though informal) loss against the Swedish powerhouse Albert, a drop of pool water punctuates a heavy moment. It's the first of two effective instances of nonverbal storytelling. The second comes later, when Makoto lets a ladybug take flight off his fingertip, a gesture that only crystallizes for the viewer and Makoto all at once near the end of the episode. The ladybug represents the next generation of swimming talent right as Makoto realizes his purpose: to be the person to guide that talent into their future success.

Makoto and his extremely Dad chic outfit (complete with a purse) continue to be our window to the story throughout, offering a consistent thread to hold onto when the swollen cast of characters gets to be too much. He chats on the phone with Nagisa and Rei, and we learn that Shizuru calls Haru's coach “Grandpa?” (There's no way that guy is older than 45, and yet he somehow has a grandkid in high school. I get that the show is trying to connect its giant cast with lots of family ties, but that one is hard to swallow.) It's fun to see Rei crack a joke with his underclassmen—it's hard to imagine the uptight Rei from season one doing something like that, and it's another one of those moments that shows how everyone is growing up. Another moment comes when Haru takes Makoto's advice and ultimately does what his coach is telling him to do: work on polishing the basics of his technique. In the past, Haru might have gone all emo and inward for a few episodes before deciding to trust the people who care about him. Makoto understands Haru's mindset from a lifetime of friendship, but later he's able to tap into what his young protege Misaki is thinking too. This conclusion is particularly true to Makoto's nurturing character, while also showing his evolution into a more ambitious coach.

We have far more than twelve characters, but after this Makoto-centric episode, I think it might have been cool to focus each one on a different swimmer's perspective. A central focus did wonders for this episode, parting the confusion to add emotional heft while finally making me feel like I saw a character in this show grow as a person for once.

Black Clover - Episode 49 [Review]

Well, now.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a way this Vetto fight could have hit my buttons any harder. It looked like things were wrapping up last week, but it turns out that Vetto let himself get stabbed on purpose as a way to nab Asta's sword, and you know how much I love hearing "one more thing" in my shonen pulp. It turns out there's one more final stretch of the fight, and this week's episode is an immaculately animated climax.

The Black Bulls are at their limits, and Vetto only appears to be growing more and more violent, contorting himself in wild and unnatural ways. Vanessa's still moving Asta around with her thread, but the show is leaning much harder into the exhaustion that our heroes are feeling. Asta's such a doofus that it too easily feels contrived when the other characters pontificate about how inspiring he is, but everything clicks this time around. You've seen these circumstances before, but rarely with this much purity. The "demon" inside Asta's grimoire is summoned, and the show's first opening theme kicks in as an insert song to score the final blow. For a series that so often struggles to feel sincere, this is as good a celebration of the genre you could ask for. It's so close to being Asta's Super Saiyan moment.

And the tables don't turn just enough for the good guys to win, they go so far as to wreck Vetto beyond repair. Asta is "A demon who devours even despair," (I love reminders that Asta's powers are evil, but in a good way) and Yami finally makes his appearance at the end of the battle to one-shot what's left of Vetto. There's a frustrating convenience to when Yami can and can't participate in this arc, but the last scene is so good it's hard to argue. "Consider this my thanks for looking after my squad." What a one-liner.

This is an astonishing finale for the Vetto fight that leaves the audience in awe of what the heroes are capable of. Long, strenuous effort is rewarded with a glorious smackdown. As we're closing out, we get a brief glimpse of Vetto's childhood, his devotion to Licht, and his reason for hating humans. In line with Asta's demonic powers, it does force you to pause and wonder who the real underdogs are. The Black Bulls are scrappy, and that's what makes them pure of heart, but shift the perspective just a little and they become a band of monsters who will crush anything that gets in their way.

For how clunky this arc began, it's turned into something amazing. This is some stellar material. I don't know if the show will ever stop being a punching bag as a messy pantomime of the shonen formula—and it's still really messy—but when it hits, it hits hard. Black Clover pulled out all the stops this week.

Banana Fish - Episode 11 [Review]

If the last few episodes of Banana Fish were a bit much for you, episode 11 acts as a breather. Ash resettles with his gang in New York, he and Eiji get "comfy", and the focus shifts from plot developments to character revelations. Stuff still happens, but it's largely set-up for the next arc. After lots of action and tragedy the past few weeks, it's nice to relax for a bit and watch these boys comfort each other. And if you're along the ride because of the Ash/Eiji relationship—which I'm guessing is most of you—"The Beautiful and the Damned" is a real treat.

For all the seedy fascination its drug plot demands, this show keeps plugging along because of its characters. The heroes are so likable (even when they're doing awful things!), the villains despicable but (at least in Yut Lung's case) fun to watch, and the relationships between all of them so strong. Nowhere is this more obvious than its central pairing, which this episode seems set to explore. First, in a hilarious sequence at the beginning, we see the wildly different way that Ash treats Eiji from everyone else around him. Ash's gang is terrified of his temper, enough to refuse to wake him up from his two-hour nap on time. This surprises Eiji, who is used to the softer side of Ash. The gang members are likewise surprised when Eiji literally slaps Ash awake, and their boss reacts with little more than grumbling and this priceless face. Later, in a conversation between Ibe and Max, Max thinks it's curious that Ash and Eiji have gravitated toward each other when they seem so different. Ibe sees that Eiji has brought out the part of himself that's in Ash. Ash can only really act like a teenager when he's around Eiji.

Ash and Eiji also get some moments alone, where Ash allows himself to be vulnerable with him in a way that he can't with anyone else. He confesses a really silly childhood fear—pumpkins—which gets Eiji howling with laughter, given how incongruous this seems from Ash's hardened attitude toward everything else. It's yet another reminder that Ash is still a kid deep down, even if that only comes out around Eiji. Then there are some more physical moments between them that the show doesn't hesitate to hover over longingly. (For the record, this framing is straight out of the manga.) "Two bros chillin' in the hot tub five feet apart 'cause they're not gay" don't hold each other like this or fall asleep in each other's laps like this. Ash and Eiji may never explicitly state the nature of their feelings, but it's evident through their actions in a way that would never be in doubt if they were a man and a woman. Plus, there's the fact that Eiji gets more than a little excited at the thought of Ash dropping his pants.

Frankly, this central relationship is most of what makes Banana Fish work. The conversations about rape and abuse are better than some others in its subgenre, but I can think of plenty of other anime that handle these elements leagues better. (Granted, most of these have come after Banana Fish, so I can see why it stood out in the 1980s.) The drug plot, violence, and gang elements feel kind of silly and juvenile when you stop to think about them for too long. ("MK Ultra but For Real" sounds like a plot from a creative writing high school class.) It's the character relationships that elevate this show beyond its genre trappings, and Ash and Eiji form the show's beating heart. Their bond transcends even their other friendships and familial-esque relationships in the series. Love and desire don't need kisses or sex scenes to communicate themselves. Ash and Eiji show their love in everything they do. It's obvious if you've watched much romance anime how much the language evokes imagery of devoted couples. Denying the romantic implications makes Banana Fish as a show less interesting to me, and it also makes many of their interactions nonsensical.

I want to come back to the way that Banana Fish discusses rape and abuse, especially in these private conversations about Ash's history and trauma. There have been times when the story's really stretched my suspension of disbelief, as in the revelation about his rapist baseball coach when he was a child. The kind of victim-blaming he receives from the small town really doesn't feel like a believable reaction to an 8-year-old boy being assaulted by an adult man. (When people do take the perpetrator's side in child rape cases, they tend to blame whatever adults they think are "coaching" the kids, not the kid himself.) His homophobic dad's advice to "just take it" feels even more unbelievable. Banana Fish makes a lot more sense when you see it through the lens of its adult female writer and audience, reflecting and processing their female experiences with sexual assault through a male character. This is yet another thing it has in common with other BL genre works and a lot of slash fanfiction in general. There's been much ink spilled about how BL is a way for women to process their feelings about men at a distance, usually in the context of romantic fantasies, but I wonder how much that can be said about women writing about sexual violence against men as well. It's something I've started thinking about over the last few weeks, but I definitely want to explore further in future reviews as I see how Banana Fish further handles this topic.

Regardless, we get to see Ash be vulnerable in Eiji's arms. This makes it all the weirder in the later part of the episode when he transforms back into his precocious, super-hacker, genius mob boss self. At least the spyware is one of the more believable technology updates. (Though it begs the question, if Ash has had spyware on Dino's computer this whole time, why wasn't he aware of some of the mob's other plans? People put everything on computers these days, after all.) The theme of the episode seems to be how Ash can show so many different faces to so many different people. With some, he's the criminal mastermind, steepling his hands Gendo Ikari-style as he walks them through his latest airtight scheme. With Eiji, he's a normal, sad, hurt teenage boy, who can joke and sob and confess silly childish fears like pumpkins. It's the many sides to Ash that make this story so fascinating, giving viewers the hope that he can find a more authentic self underneath all that trauma one day.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 73 [Review]

The mystery surrounding Mitsuki's disappearance grows even more complex as Boruto and Sarada seek answers from their teammate's elusive parent. Upon arriving at Orochimaru's research lab, Boruto is shocked to find two other Mitsuki clones in different stages of development. Despite being bothered by Orochimaru's seeming lack of concern over Mitsuki's disappearance, Boruto tasks him with running some tests on the messenger snake his wayward teammate left behind. When the tests fail to generate any helpful results, Orochimaru suggests having a figure known as the White Snake Sage extract and analyze the snake's thoughts. The next phase of their mission clear, Boruto and Sarada head to Ryuchi Cave (the Sage's home) but are quickly intercepted by Team Moegi, who are intent on bringing them back to the village.

With only minimal progress made on the story front, this week's episode is largely able to get by on its entertaining character interactions. For example, this is the first time Boruto and Orochimaru have met, and although their dynamic is about what you'd expect, it's fascinating nonetheless, with the brash youth having no patience for Orochimaru's enigmatic riddles and poetic turns of phrases. Even though Boruto doesn't appear to think much of Orochimaru, it's clear that his father's former nemesis sees a lot of promise in the lad and thinks he can help Mitsuki mature into a more rounded person. Since the gang is visiting Orochimaru's lab, it's kind of a shame to see Karin and Suigetsu relegated to brief cameos. Sure, Sarada's already met them, but it would've been fun to see them engage in some extended interactions with Boruto. Also a highlight this episode is Naruto's exchange with Konohamaru, which is surprisingly poignant, and it marks one of the few times a character from the previous generation has taken issue with Orochimaru's past misdeeds. While Naruto obviously had his reasons, Konohamaru's frustration at not being told that one of his pupils is the son of his grandfather's killer is palpable.

Boruto and Sarada's determination to bring Mitsuki back into the fold is somewhat reminiscent of Naruto and Sakura's attempts to bring Sasuke back to the Hidden Leaf. Like his old man, Boruto is willing to go up against his peers if it means locating his best friend. Orochimaru even states that Boruto is just like the Naruto of old. While it's highly likely that Boruto and Sarada will eventually convince Team Moegi to aid them in their quest, the prospect of a Team 7/Ino-Shika-Cho face-off is certainly exciting.

Although Boruto and Sarada only come a little closer to tracking down Mitsuki this week, they learn a great deal about their friend's pre-Hidden Leaf life. Despite criticizing Orochimaru's parenting skills, Boruto has a brief about-face when he discovers that he doesn't know nearly as much about his best friend as he likes to think. It's frustrating to see our heroes impeded by obstacle after obstacle—they now have to fight their own friends in order to continue on their journey—but this is hopefully in service of making the forthcoming payoffs feel even more rewarding.

Overlord III - Episode 11 [Review]

Last episode the Baharuth Empire made a pact with Nazarick to recognize it as a sovereign state. This episode that leads to using Nazarick's new claim on the territory near E-Rantel to conduct their annual invasion of the Re-Estize Kingdom, with some participation from Ains and (as we see at the end of the episode) his small army of Death Knights. While most of last episode was shown from the perspective of the Empire forces, this episode switches gears and instead looks at how Re-Estize is responding to this crisis. That makes for one of the slowest and mildest episodes of the season to date, with no action or flashy uses of power before Ains summons his army in the episode's final minute.

Granted, the series has repeatedly proven that it can handle this kind of pacing and is quite comfortable with it, and the episode certainly ends at a proper dramatic stopping point, with the Empire/Nazarick combined force mustered and ready for the assault. Also, revisiting some key players from the earlier Re-Estize arcs is also nice, as Gazef, Brain, and Climb all have prominent roles in this episode. Seeing Marquis Raeven once again show his acute acumen for navigating both political and military matters is also a treat, though the scene showing how doting he is on his previously-mentioned young son was overplayed. Seeing the strategy meeting for how the Re-Estize Kingom will respond to Nazarick's claims and provocation is also worthwhile and important, as it establishes that at least most of the leaders of the Kingdom aren't fools.

The one other potentially interesting plot thread to spin out of those scenes is Prince Barbro, the warrior-inclined first in line to the throne whom even the king seems to distrust as a successor, being sent on an information-gathering mission to Carne Village. He demonstrates on the way there that he has not the slightest notion about the depth of trouble that he could be getting into by doing so, and seeing how he reacts to what Carne Village has become has some possibilities. With how hotheaded he's been shown to be, I can't see that winding up in anything other than a bloodbath. I also can't see the situation with Gazef ending well. He clearly knows that if a fight can't be avoided then he's eventually going to have to face off against Ains, and he knows that's a fight he can't win. I do have to give credit to the one noble who recognized Gazef's uncertainty over the matter and suggested rating Ains' strength accordingly. Given that no one has seen the fullest extent of Ains' power, he probably underestimated. I do find it a bit curious that none of the adventurers are getting involved, however, as in RPGs major skirmishes are traditionally a great time to make money.

So yeah, a lot of nice little scenes, but the whole episode seemed lacking in oomph and energy. Thankfully all of the set-up and lead-in is done, so we should be seeing a potent push of action and big events over the next couple of episodes.

My Hero Academia - Episode 60 [Review]

At last, the Provisional License Exams come to an end, which means that our baby bird heroes can slowly begin to leave the nest. Those who passed the test may exercise the authority of a pro hero in emergency situations, meaning most of our main characters shouldn't have to worry about jumping through legal hoops like Midoriya and company did in the fallout of the Stain fight. I say "most of" our main cast because a few choice figures didn't make the cut. Todoroki and Inasa failed because of their fight, and Bakugo flunked because he's Bakugo. Basically, the kids who'd normally be a shoe-in on talent alone are finally facing a wall, and their inability to be team players is putting them behind the rest. These past couple of episodes have done a fantastic job making it crystal clear what these exams have really been about in regards to the big picture.

All Might's retirement has emboldened these transitional exposition episodes considerably. This is world-building in a much more literal sense, where the future is so uncertain that how the heroes and villains develop from here will shape society as we know it, and so each successive piece of information becomes pivotal. It turns out that weirdo girl Camie was actually Toga from the League of Villains in disguise (perhaps I should have seen this coming) and All Might has a frank conversation with an imprisoned All For One. They're two men operating on the extreme opposite ends of the hero-villain spectrum, both having to leave their ideals in the hands of successors. Even with All For One defeated and locked up, his actions with continue to eat away at All Might, who feels powerless and helpless in retirement. Though, All Might's declaration to not succumb to Shigaraki is still completely badass.

The final piece of this episode sets up a rematch between Midoriya and Bakugo, at the site of their last fight from season one. This episode plays into the attitude problems developed by the top students, and Bakugo contrasts nicely with Todoroki and Inasa, who were ultimately humbled by their failure. It's hard to imagine that Bakugo could ever demonstrate that humility, even if there's clearly a voice in the back of his head being drowned out by the profound insecurity. This is the kind of character work that I love; Bakugo isn't being as outwardly aggressive as you might expect. He's turned quiet as he shifts his anger back at Midoriya. It doesn't feel like a lack of self-control this time, but genuine malice.

Something that really sets My Hero Academia apart from a lot of battle shonen is that the protagonists' good qualities aren't just a means towards making them likeable for the audience. Their end-game is to be heroes and public servants, and so being a good person matters quite a bit. These recent episodes go a long way towards highlighting how few people are truly able to be the total package that All Might was. All Might was not only strong, but caring and free of ego. You get a sense that some of these kids can learn and grow, either by getting stronger or learning to care and empathize with others more, but Bakugo's strength is so much a product of his arrogance and personal identity. We've already ruled him out as a villain, but can he truly be at home with the heroes? The kid's got issues, and he's fascinating to watch.

MHA's post-arc transitions are getting better each time around. Good and evil are competing for the future of civilization, and both sides seem ready to collapse in on themselves at any moment. This episode is filled to the brim with material to get you thinking. In the end I really appreciate how these exam arcs serve as measuring sticks for our heroes' development, because it's becoming increasingly important that they're doing their best at all times. There's a sober realization after spending the early parts of the Provisional License Exams begging for it to get big and exciting instead of genial and by-the-numbers, and then for it to to finally do so and remind us that the exciting characters are Problems™ in this line of work. I'm really impressed.

Gintama - Episode 363 [Review]

The time skip hijinks continue this week as more characters' increasingly bizarre fates are revealed. As Donald Zarump announces his plan to introduce a Japanese constitution (which he intends to serialize in Weekly Shonen Jump), Matsudaira and some former Shinsengumi officers orchestrate a failed assassination attempt on the newly-minted prime minister. Never one to give up, Matsudaira then strong-arms Shinpachi (who's still being followed by Tamako) into meeting some black market merchants at the docks and obtaining a special secret weapon he intends to use in his next assassination effort. Shinpachi is shocked to discover that these pirates are led by Mutsu, who reveals that Sakamoto lost all of the Kaientai's money after investing in cryptocurrency and is currently riddled with debt and entangled in a Kaiji-esque death game. Additionally, the weapon being delivered is a miniaturized version of Kagura, who claims to have been born when the real Kagura ate too many bananas and puked her up. Before Shinpachi has time to fully process this, the group is surrounded by a battalion of former Shinsengumi led by Sogo, who insists on testing the merchandise as he lunges for Mini-Kagura.

Meanwhile, in the countryside, Gintoki makes his way to the charred remains of what was once Shoka Sonjuku, where he finds Takasugi lighting incense at a grave he built for Oboro. Following a brief skirmish that ends in Takasugi revealing Utsuro-like healing powers, the men are surrounded by a group of police officers led by the recently demoted Hijikata. Shinsuke makes a hasty escape, but Gin is taken in for questioning. At the station, Hijikata reveals that the Tendoshu are rumored to have returned and are intent on reclaiming the Altana they lost. Even though they had become barely-functional meat puppets, they still possess Utsuro's immortal blood, and neither they nor Takasugi have been seen since the war ended. However, this revelation is quickly brushed aside when a Robocop-esque android officer (who goes by “Mobcop”) malfunctions and remembers that's he actually a robotized version of Yamazaki, whom Gin and Hijikata admit to having forgotten about in the war's aftermath. (Yamazaki's actual body is currently undergoing treatment.) Before departing the station, Gin asks Toshi how the Odd Jobs crew is doing, to which Toshi replies, “Go see for yourself.”

Two episodes in, and nearly every major character has made an appearance in Silver Soul's third act. Despite the abundance of featured players this week, the proceedings never feel overwhelming, and the jokes flow at an organic (albeit rapid-fire) pace. There's no shortage of laughs this week, and in true Gintama fashion, viewers are frequently left to wonder how far certain jokes will be taken. The birth of Kagura's “daughter,” Katsura's allusions to the 45th U.S. President, and the reveal of Mobcop's true identity are hilarious WTF moments that are both perplexingly bizarre and perfectly in tune with this show's outlandish humor. Sorachi has always enjoyed mining comedy from toying with audience expectations, and so far, this portion of Silver Soul has been an extended exercise in this. In light of how plot-focused Gintama has gotten as of late, it's easy to forget that at the end of the day, this is a show in which very little can truly be taken seriously.

Now that we've rejoined the majority of the principle cast, there's room for the story to continue moving forward, and at present, this feels more like the beginning of a new arc than the series' denouement. Although Gintoki and Mini-Kagura have shown up, we still have only a vague idea of what they've been up to during the time skip, but this is likely to change once the core group is back together. Terrorist attacks occurring on planets with nationalized Altana, Takasugi's new healing ability, and the potential return of the Tendoshu all sound like promising mysteries to build a new story on, so at present, this feels like anything but a wind-down.

While Gintama's unique brand of shock humor has always been outrageous, episode 363 has moments that border on full-on surrealism, making it clear that Sorachi intends to go out with a bang. As good as it feels to have madcap comedy return to the forefront, it'll be exciting to see all these outlandish elements gel into a cohesive story. Fortunately, this type of thing is Gintama's bread and butter.

Attack on Titan - Episode 45 [Review]

“All hail the Queen!” That's my main takeaway from “Outside the Walls of Orvud District”, which is largely a transitional episode, wrapping up the “Rescue Eren and Historia” plot while setting the stage for the upcoming battle against Rod Reiss, who Levi appropriately refers to as the “Big-Ass Titan”. I'm not using "transitional" as a pejorative here, to be clear; there's a lot going on this week, from Eren finally breaking out of his captive funk to Historia taking her first steps to possibly inheriting the throne. It's just that, given the ebb-and-flow style that Attack on Titan's story arcs tend to take, this kind of important table setting isn't as invigorating or impactful as the high watermark of action and drama we got from “Wish” last week.

The first half of the episode is what I would call the most traditionally “exciting”. With Kenny's forces in retreat and the Big-Ass Titan slowly tearing apart the crystal caverns beneath the chapel, Eren, Historia, and the rest of Levi Squad have nowhere else to go. Eren in particular is convinced things would still be better if Rod just ate him already and took back the power of the founding Titan, so it takes a touching tough-love speech from all of his friends to convince him that he isn't some lone tragic hero that needs to sacrifice his life; they're a team, and they'll live and die by one another's resolve.

For all of the show's perceived emphasis on spectacle and lore-heavy plotting, I really love how far this core cast has come as both a military unit and a surrogate family. With his friends by his side and his verve reinvigorated, Eren finally bucks up and swallows a vial of presumed Titan spinal-fluid goo labeled “Armor”, which gives him the very useful powerup of being able to generate the same crystalline material that forms the underground caves and the interior of the walls. So not only does the group escape with their lives, but they have also found a way to permanently patch up the hole in Wall Maria.

What follows is mostly an extended conversation between Levi Squad as they regroup and head to Orvud, which is where Erwin suspects the monstrous, worm-like Rod Reiss is headed. Eren briefly argues that he still might need to be eaten, if only to undo Rod's madness with the power of the Founding Titan, but Historia and Armin correctly advise against it. It's possible that the First King's will infects anyone given the power, and there's no proof that Eren sacrificing himself would even fix Rod up again in the first place. Historia, once again proving her newfound resolve and agency, declares herself more than willing to take down her father and forge a new path for the human race. She admits that she honestly considered killing Eren to please the elder Reiss back in the cave, but she also believes that Grisha Yaeger's attack on the Reiss clan was motivated by a desire to rescue mankind from its own ignorant captivity. I've been seen concerns from some manga readers that the build-up to Historia's climactic denouncement of the Reiss family line last week has been too heavily truncated compared to the source material, but as an anime-only viewer, I feel like her characterization has been handled excellently, especially given this season's breakneck pacing. She's quickly grown into a confident, complex, and dangerously capable young woman, and each passing week has me more convinced that she might be one of my new all-time favorite AoT characters.

I also love how quickly Historia has integrated herself into the rest of the squad, seeing as she was barely even a character until halfway through the second season of the series. Conny and Jean get an excellent little exchange where they try to stand up to Erwin's plan for Historia to assume the throne as the rightful Queen, arguing that it's literally been hours since she's broken free from the bondage of her bloodline, so to set her up as a new head of state would just be shackling her to another political agenda. Historia points out that she's technically the only one who can decide her plans for the future, but it's a great moment that shows how close these men and women have become since they graduated from training camp, which seems like it happened a million years ago (though I'm pretty sure in terms of the timeline it's only been like a few weeks).

So regardless of whether or not Historia decides to reign as humanity's new monarch, I'll still gladly proclaim her the Queen of Attack on Titan, at least until Sasha is finally revealed to be the true savior of the story, which I've been predicting for years now. Until then, I'll gladly watch this ragtag group of monsters, revolutionaries, and anarchic princesses do whatever they need to do in order to take down the Big-Ass Titan that is slowly slithering towards them.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 72 [Review]

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations - Episode 72 [Review]

A new mystery begins to unfold this week as Mitsuki vanishes and the Leaf goes on high alert. Following a nighttime attack on the gate guards by a trio of mysterious shinobi (one of whom looks very familiar), every Jonin in the village is called to the main palace and multiple missions are canceled. Upon examining the memories of one of the injured guards, Ino recognizes Mitsuki, who hasn't been seen since the night of the incident, at the scene of the attack. This prompts Naruto to reveal that Mitsuki is the son of Orochimaru, much to the surprise of Konohamaru, Tsunade, Koharu, and Homura. Refusing to believe Mitsuki is the culprit, Boruto heads outside the village walls in search of his friend and finds a talking snake who claims to be Mitsuki's will. After reporting this to Sarada, the remaining two-thirds of Team 7 set off for Orochimaru's research lab in search of answers, fully aware that leaving the village without permission will result in them being branded as criminals.

This week's installment is focused almost entirely on Mitsuki, even though he himself is barely present. It's a perfect way to frame a story about an enigmatic character, although the pacing is too relaxed, and certain parts of the episode feel padded. Still, no scene feels outright superfluous, and there's a steady amount of plot advancement in the second half. While the revelation about Mitsuki's parentage is more a shock to the characters than the viewers at this point, it's interesting to see the adults react to the news, with the room divided between giving him the benefit of the doubt and regarding him as an Orochimaru-level threat. It's easy to understand where Tsunade, Homura, and Koharu are coming from (even though the latter two have always been rather heartless), and in fairness, the evidence against Mitsuki seems pretty damning. For his part, Naruto is strangely quiet and abstains from speaking up in the boy's defense, perhaps second-guessing himself for putting his trust in someone as dangerous as Orochimaru. Boruto, of course, doesn't doubt his friend for a second, although Sarada takes a bit of convincing.

While the previous installment was essentially a prelude to the latest arc, episode 72 can best be described as an exercise in table-setting. Fortunately, the mystery it sets up seems intriguing, and if not for this show's inconsistent quality on the storytelling front, the show's forthcoming payoffs would almost be guaranteed to prove equally satisfying. The Leaf being on friendly terms with Orochimaru has always seemed like a rocky marriage of convenience, and the sheer weirdness of this arrangement finally being addressed paves the way for what could be a fascinating story. If history is any indication, both Mitsuki and his parent are likely to be vindicated when all is said and done, but hopefully the show will find an entertaining way to get us there.

This week's Boruto clears the deck for Team 7's latest adventure with a reasonably solid setup episode. Although Boruto and Sarada are now aware of Mitsuki's origins, their opinion of him largely remains unchanged. However, as more details about their teammate's mysterious past come to light, relationships may be put to the test in the coming weeks.

Grand Blue Dreaming - Episode 8 [Review]

https://cdn.animenewsnetwork.com/thumbnails/fit400x1000/cms/episode-review.2/136213/gbd-8.png.jpg

Grand Blue Dreaming - Episode 8 [Review]

The first of this week's two segments is yet another one of those sketches that seems content to land mostly within the “pleasantly watchable” range of the comedy spectrum, spending the majority of its ten minutes with the Peek-A-Boo gang just hanging out at the bar where Kotobuki works in his free time. There are a couple of chuckle-worthy jokes that involve Iori and Kohei getting raunchy ideas about the kind of part-time gig Kotobuki must have, but not much else is laugh-out-loud funny. The guys need to earn some cash for their upcoming trip to Okinawa, so the friendly bar owner lets them hang out and even practice their own bartending skills, while the girls get to be amused at how bad Iori and Kohei are at mixing drinks that consist of more than just vodka and whiskey.

It's mostly just nice hangout time with the crew, though it does consist of one exceptionally funny joke. Iori and Kohei have no idea what to make of even the most common cocktails, so when they see Azusa order a simple gin lime, they assume that all recipes can be sorted out based on their names. This of course leads to shenanigans when Aina orders a Screwdriver and instead of receiving vodka and orange juice, she gets a glass filled with vodka and a literal screwdriver. The real clincher comes when the boys recognize their mistake and fix it by replacing the Philips-Head screwdriver with a flat-bladed one, once again proving that repetition combined with proper comedic timing can make for a great one-two joke combo. The same can't be said for the way the sketch ends, with the bar owner mistaking Iori for gay and immediately assuming he's some kind of predator, just another of the dozens of crappy gay panic bits that Grand Blue Dreaming falls back on when it runs out of ideas.

The second story of the week is another one of those dreaded stories that involve Iori and Kohei's college buddies getting all weird about their inability to get laid, so you can imagine how surprised I was to find this week's variation on the premise to actually be funny. The show has always leaned into the boys' pathetic natures with these segments, but until now it never quite went far enough to justify the ugliness of the joke. The stories were too basic and familiar to successfully sell their crassness as funny.

But this week, things finally cross over into being so silly and stupid that the crudeness at last comes full circle back around to being amusing. We've seen how irrationally violent Shinichiro and crew get at the thought of Iori even cohabitating with an attractive woman, but things get really weird when they all discover that one of their comrades in perpetual virginity, Yu, has stopped hanging out with them because he's been having Actual Real Sex With a Human Woman™. Naturally, their first instinct is to interrupt the couple mid-coitus with a bunch of manipulative pranks.

I won't lie, I was just impressed to watch an anime where two adults were depicted having a regular sex life, and I'm willing to admit I found it pretty funny to see that healthy pairing utterly destroyed in mere minutes. It's one thing to shove Shinchiro's hundreds of porn DVDs through Yu's mail slot, or for Iori to send fake messages to his phone that almost get Yu completely choked out by his bedroom buddy, Rie. But the best bit of the whole vignette was how quickly Kohei's disinterest in the pranks turned into soul-consuming rage when he discovers that Rie is a childhood friend who just so happens to affectionately refer to Yu as her “onii-chan" in bed. This causes Kohei to bust out his secret talent, which is an uncanny ability to replicate the voices of the anime girls he obsesses over, which finally pushes Rie to her breaking point.

One of the reasons this sequence worked for me where similar ones from before failed is the gang's stone-faced commitment to completely ruining what seemed to be a perfectly good relationship. The episode's final moments see the men weepy and cheering when Yu gets kicked to the curb by his understandably furious ex-girlfriend, since it only takes him about fifteen seconds of being single to ask after Rie's friends. Iori and the others embrace Yu as a true blue loser just like them, and I'm much more willing to embrace more terrible members of Grand Blue Dreaming's cast when the joke is entirely on the absurd and sad antics these dummies get up to, and not so much on the poor souls who have to suffer on the receiving end of their nonsense.

My Hero Academia - Episode 59 [Review]

When last we saw our youngling heroes, they were faced with a manufactured crisis situation meant to be the final test in their Provisional License Exams. The kids had enough of a challenge dealing with injured citizens, but at the last second we met Gang Orca, a pro-hero who looks enough like a villain to play the part in this simulation.

Even though this exam is designed to test the kids' heroism and teamwork, it quickly turns into a petty competition. You'd expect Bakugo to be the troublemaker here, but surprisingly it's Todoroki and Inasa from Shiketsu going at it instead, maliciously getting in each other's way during the showdown with Gang Orca. It turns out Inasa has beef with the Todoroki family, starting with Endeavor coldly rejecting an autograph when he was a child, and his icy-hot son demonstrated a similar brash attitude during the U.A. entrance exam (which Inasa passed and then rejected). It pisses Todoroki off to hear himself being compared to his dad, and I like how the real "fight" of this episode is Todoroki dealing with the fact that he hasn't grown past the issues that he thought he had.

This being the finale of the arc means that it's also the best-looking episode in weeks. We get those beautiful bold outlines, and I love the added visual effect of Todoroki's heat rising too. It communicates the anger that's building inside of him, while he and Inasa have to reconcile with the fact that their grudge match risks hurting those around them. I found myself pumping my fist when Midoriya emerged to save Shindo from their crossfire, shouting at them in genuine anger. It's a battle of hot tempers vs. sober logic. They both know they're mucking up, but they just can't help it.

The episode ends just before we see the results of the exam, which we know are tallied by number of mistakes more than anything. It's hard to imagine Todoroki and Inasa aren't about to face some real consequences for their sudden scuffle. The show had been hinting at something being up with Inasa, but seeing the truth derail the exams so much was a pleasant surprise. I'm eager to see where else the story wants take the unpleasant father/son similarities.

With the earlier episodes of this arc taking their time to flesh the exams out, I have a growing appreciation for episodes like this that just snap to the most important stuff. There's a rawness to how this show lets your expectations wander and then BAM, it's the climax already. It took me a few arcs to get the hang of it, but I feel like that's this series' hidden strength. This is a really great episode, offering plenty of action but more importantly offering some intriguing questions about where these kids are heading in their path to heroism. The hot-blooded wunderkinds tend to be my favorites, the kind of people most likely to botch their own potential.

One Piece - Episode 852 [Review]

One thing I wish we'd gotten more detail on last week was the elaboration on Pudding's relationship with her older sister Lola. See, a lot of Big Mom's children are put in charge of the smaller islands within Totto Land and serve as "ministers": Katakuri is the Minister of Flour, Perospero is the Minister of Candy, and so on. We learned last week that Pudding is the favorite candidate to take over as the Minister of Chocolate, but she's been turning the role down over the years, hoping to keep it vacant in case Lola—the only surviving runaway of the family and the original Minister of Chocolate—ever returns. This is one subplot of many that goes tragically unaddressed by the end of the arc, but there's so much to unpack nonetheless. Ideally, we'd hope that Pudding could get out of this family, as opposed to asking for Lola to come back.

It's funny that the title and preview for this episode exclusively focus on the continued Luffy vs. Katakuri fight, which makes up such a small percentage of an episode that clearly belongs to Sanji and Pudding's side of the battle. The baking trio has arrived at Cacao Island, but Sanji has to be snuck into the Sweets Factory unseen and Chiffon has to be let in with handcuffs since she currently has criminal status. (They just blame her actions on her husband.) Pudding then has to wipe the memories of all the chefs they'll be working with, so they just think they're helping Sanji and Pudding bake their first cake as newlyweds, and they have no idea about the Big Mom vs. Straw Hats chaos going on outside.

This is where the general flow of the protagonists vs. antagonists story gets really goofy and mechanically complicated, since both sides want this cake baked, but for slightly different reasons. The bad guys want to help Big Mom and Katakuri crush the Straw Hats, but they don't want Big Mom to keep rampaging and killing everyone else afterwards. They're counting on Pudding to have this cake ready, but they don't realize she's playing double agent for the Straw Hats and that Sanji is helping her ensure it's the most delicious cake Big Mom has ever eaten. Mom doesn't appear to be especially nice to any of her children, but how much they're still playing for her team seems to vary from person to person.

For what's mostly a breather from the action, this episode is jam-packed with content. Sanji gets to strut his stuff as a cartoonishly talented cook, drawing up a recipe and blueprints for the new cake perfectly from the mere scent of the original. This is also the turning point where the gamble on Pudding's characterization starts to pay off. Her silly reactions no longer feel like a gaudy burden on the story, and now she's just a landslide of charisma. You really understand why she's so popular with the locals of Totto Land, and her pairing with Sanji turns them into a supportive and mutually attracted couple who make ridiculous goo-goo eyes at each other while working together on this project.

What really makes me feel good about where the anime is at right now is just how good it looks, even when there's little movement. This has been five episodes in a row where, at a bare minimum, the art has been wonderfully detailed and polished with the intent of breathing as much life into Eiichiro Oda's art style as possible. This continues to be true in the Luffy vs. Katakuri fight in particular, which is still bringing the goods. Katakuri has upgraded from imitating Luffy's gatling attacks to imitating his Third Gear attacks, only much stronger. By the end of this episode, Katakuri's siblings have found another mirror in the mirror world that connects to the Thousand Sunny, and now Luffy has to worry about shattering it to make double sure his friends are safe.

Somehow events feel like they're just flying by. This is a very plot-heavy episode as the cake-baking has to lay a lot of groundwork for the remainder of this climax. The actual baking is going to take several hours, and in that time Sanji has to trust his crew to survive while also strategizing about how they're going to get this giant cake to Big Mom in the first place. It's been a long time since I've found myself this eager to tune in to the One Piece anime every week, and we still have some of my favorite material in this arc ahead of us.

Feels good, man. Feels good.

Attack on Titan - Episode 44 [Review]

I'm going to begin this review by talking about the episode's second half, since that's where the meat of the story lands this week, as Reiss offers his daughter Historia a terrible choice while Eren emits muted screams from his perch in the crystal cavern.

The main question at hand for the past few episodes is whether or not Historia would be willing to go along with her father's plan to be transformed into a Titan so that she can eat Eren and reclaim the Power of the Titans for the Reiss bloodline. Even given how much screen time she and Ymir got last season, we've still learned very little about her personal beliefs and how much she might value the bonds she's forged with her fellow soldiers when the chips are down. Seeing how traumatized Historia has been by her fractured upbringing, would she choose her paternal family over her brothers and sisters in arms?

After Rod explains to Historia that only a true Reiss can unlock the full Power of the Titans, including the memories of what human civilization was like prior to the erection of the Walls, Kenny arrives to throw a fit about his crushed ambitions. He tries to turn Historia against her father, but she won't have any of that. Historia holds the syringe of Titan fluid to her wrist and threatens to take charge of her destiny and consume Eren, though she balks when Kenny removes Eren's gag and sees that Eren still refuses to fight against her. Bloodied and weeping, Eren demands that Historia go through with the plan and relieve him of his life and his titanic burden with it.

This interaction between Eren and Historia is one of the most heartfelt and tragic moments of the series so far, because for Eren the real pain of the truth he's learned lies not in his father's betrayal, but in the many friends who died trying to protect him, despite his power being stolen through the murder of Historia's family. It's too much for Eren Yeager to bear, and in this moment he's weaker than we've ever seen him; the ferocity and vengeful drive that has defined Eren for all of AoT's run has been replaced with truly haunted remorse. Yuuki Kaji's performance as Eren has always been good, but I don't think he's ever been more effective than in this scene – the stifled rage and sorrow he communicates ranks among the best vocal performances that Attack on Titan has ever delivered.

Still, even better is what Historia does next. I've always liked her character as Ymir's cute girlfriend with a moving past, but she rocketed close to the top of the show's best character ranking when she slapped the syringe out of her father's hand before flipping him over her shoulders and defiantly striding up the chamber's steps to free Eren. She even smacks our protagonist around a little to get him out of his self-loathing funk, declaring her ethos as the heir to the kingdom's throne:

“Exterminate the Titans?! Who the hell wants to do that bullshit?! I'm starting to hate humanity! Let 'em get wiped out by Titans! I'm humanity's biggest enemy! Got it?! I'm the worst girl who ever lived!”

Even when you consider that Historia may or may not be declaring war on the entire human race, this is one of the most stone-cold badass moments to come out of this entire show, so much so that it overshadows the entire first half of the episode, which consists of a white-knuckle showdown between Levi Squad and Kenny's droogs. This whole sequence is pretty brilliant, and it highlights what I love so much about the new human-on-human battles of this third season. More than ever before, Levi, Hange, and the others have to figure out creative strategies to beat their opponents, leveraging the tactical differences between their swords and their opponents' guns in their favor while also taking advantage of the strangeness of the environment. Sasha uses her skills as an archer to explode some barrels of oil and take out a few of Kenny's fighters, while Levi and Mikasa take the lead in absolutely brutalizing their foes. The action here is exceptionally well-animated, and the choreography tends to be clean and coherent; there were a few beats where the direction failed to capture the intended speed and weight of the maneuvering fighters, but for the most part this stood out as one of the best action scenes of this third season.

Now for anyone who's impatiently waiting for more Human vs. Titan action, things look to be gearing up in that direction, since the episode ends with Rod deciding to slurp up some of his Titan juice, which immediately begins the process of generating a giant serpentine spine with a Titan's head attached to it. Given how much this season has reveled in opportunities to defy expectations, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a little while longer before we see another classic bout between humans and Titans. If the storytelling and acting continues to be this good, I won't be complaining about whatever the show decides to do next.

Gintama - Episode 362 [Review]

After eight straight episodes of wearing its serious face, Gintama lightens the mood as it returns to its comedic and devastatingly sarcastic roots. With Utsuro vanquished and the Altana Liberation Army dissolved, episode 362 gives viewers a glance at the war's immediate aftermath and reveals what's become of some our favorite Kabuki District residents two years in the future. Although the Heavenly Bird was stopped from leveling Edo thanks to a last-minute save by Takasugi, the Kabuki District is largely in ruins, and Odd Jobs Gin-chan/Snack Otose is no exception. It's also revealed that Sadaharu made it out alive, but with every ounce of his Zen energy depleted, he's shrunk to a portable size and fallen into a deep sleep inside of a protective sphere of Altana. Since Ane and Mone have no idea when he'll awaken, Kagura decides to look for answers on other planets. Similarly, Gintoki informs the kids that he's “found something he needs to do” and leaves Shinpachi in charge of carrying on the Odd Jobs mantle.

Flash forward two years. Despite Shinpachi's misleadingly grim narration at the end of the previous episode, the people of Edo have become much stronger in the years following the war. (Even the ornery café manager takes a stand against the Chatorian ambassadors he once kowtowed to.) Gin and Kagura are still on their respective quests, and Shinpachi continues to run Odd Jobs Gin-chan by himself. Hasegawa has taken the lion's share of the credit for saving the planet and cashes in on his newfound fame at every available opportunity. Otae, having quit the hostess life, has gained weight and now commands a Ginyu Force-esque battalion of alien cabaret girls. Kondo has quit the Shinsengumi and become a dutiful househusband to Princess Bubbles, the third generation queen of Planet Gorilla and a literal gorilla. Gengai is still unable to repair Tama, but in her absence, he's activated Tamako, the Fuyu Number Zero's “mini version.” While Tama remains in sleep mode, everything Tamako experiences will become part of her memories. Princess Soyo has named Nobume Edo's first Commissioner-General of police, a position for which she's uniquely qualified. With the Meiji period dawning, Japan has moved to a parliamentary system of government, and the country's first prime minister has demoted and punished the core members of the Shinsengumi in various ways. This mysterious figure, who appeared on the political scene without warning and seized power in the blink of an eye, is revealed to be Katsura, who's taken on the name Donald Zuramp. Shinpachi ends the episode by musing that the country is doomed.

Gintama has always been a series that specialized in subverting expectations, and the latest installment is essentially an episode-length exercise in this. Within its first minute, the episode shifts from a thoughtful homage to Gintoki and Shinpachi's first meeting to an off-the-wall parody of that iconic scene. Expectations are turned on their head even more when it's revealed that the various indicators of Kondo and Otae being happily married are red herrings. (Kudos to Sorachi for not rewarding Kondo for his years of stalking.) Although these subversions sometimes seem excessively harsh on certain characters (particularly Shinpachi and Kondo), they're perfectly in line with the show's humor, which has always had a pretty brutal mean streak. In essence, this episode takes every natural narrative development and does a complete 180.

Episode 362 also functions as a pitch-perfect parody of shonen manga epilogues. Kondo's marriage to Princess Bubbles is a hilarious send-up of the random pairings that have been known to occur after time-skips, and Otose and Catherine's fear of being paired up with “randos” helps drive this joke home. Tamako claiming that Shinpachi is her father is another not-so-subtle dig at important developments that are glossed over in flash-forwards. However, despite all the laughs, the episode manages to work in a few emotional moments. The Odd Jobs trio going their separate ways immediately after defeating Utsuro is particularly hard to watch, especially after all the sacrifices they made to protect their home and stay together. It's probably safe to assume that the gang will be reunited by the end, but the dissolution of Odd Jobs Gin-chan truly marks the end of an era—for both the characters and viewers.

Following its longest foray into seriousness, it's great to see Gintama back in comedic form, and there's no better character to be at the center of all the insanity than Shinpachi. Though the characters make quips about the series coming to an end, it seems like Gintama has a fair amount of gas left in its tank before curtain call. In many respects, episode 362 feels more like the beginning of a brand new story than an endcap.

Attack on Titan - Episode 43 [Review]

There were a lot of big twists and revelations this week, but we obviously have to get the big one out of the way first: Little Historia got the name of her alter-ego, Christa, from a children's book that her older half-sister Frieda used to teach her to read. Isn't that just the most precious thing to come out of Attack on Titan in maybe ever?

Oh, and the reason Historia forgot about her sister was because of the memory-altering Power of the Titans, a supernatural gift inherited by all members of the royal family, which they have been using to pacify and dominate the human race for an untold number of years. That's pretty important too, I guess.

In all seriousness, “Sin” was a very important episode of AoT, one that unearthed a number of new secrets and clarified old theories, expanding the scope of this new arc's conflict and setting the stage for the strange battles to come for Eren and the rest of our heroes. It's also kind of a mess, structurally speaking. It begins with Rod and Historia unlocking an incredibly juicy flashback that brings Grisha Jaeger's role in the story roaring back into the light, then slows down severely for the more personal memories that Historia and her sister shared, before switching gears altogether for a frankly bizarre check-in with Erwin and Pyxis' revolution, all while managing to sprinkle in even more revelations about the true history that binds Levi, Kenny, and Mikasa to the Ackermann name.

It's a Whole Lotta Story, and that's really saying something given Attack on Titan's already high standards of narrative escalation. Ultimately, “Sin” ends up feeling more liminal than expected from an episode that's ostensibly designed to thoroughly shake up its characters' place in the plot, although Eren's flashback gets across the most emotional impact. Ever since Ymir's story revealed the mysterious syringes that transformed her people into Titans, it was pretty clear that Eren's father was the one who instigated his son's monstrous transformation way back in episode 2 of the show's first season, though actually seeing poor little Eren suffer his first shift into Titan form was still an effective and powerful moment.

At the same time, the events before and after Eren's abduction were the most narratively interesting. Rod Reiss tells his daughter that the reason the rest of her family died is because Grisha Jaeger used his own Titan shifting powers to ambush the family and kill them all. His goal was to consume Frieda, since according to Rod she had the most powerful Titan abilities, including the Scream that could control other Titans. When you factor in Eren's abilities and the fact that he was able to recover his human form, there seems to be no other explanation but that Eren ate his own father. That's heavy stuff, and I'm very interested to see how this affects both Eren and Historia going forward.

Then comes the visit to Zachary's Fun With Science Corner, which is certainly something, I'll say that much. While Erwin and Pyxis have begun picking up the pieces of the last regime, Zachary's been living his best life and making his long-time dreams of cruel and mechanically creative revenge a reality. Specifically, he's strapped Aurille the nobleman upside-down to a chair, with a funnel shoved right into his rectum, so the whole kingdom can watch him be force-fed through his ass while a tube runs into his mouth and forces him to swallow some manner of his own bodily secretions – The exact nature of the machine is somewhat unclear, but you can be damn sure it's really gross. At the very least, it's gotten the former upper-crust shaken up enough to spill the Reiss family's secrets, especially since some of them still believe that they'll just be able to wipe humanity's collective memory and take over once the dust settles.

It's an "interesting" scene, and I'm definitely curious about where the revolution is headed in the coming episodes, but there isn't anything revealed in this C-plot that we don't already learn from Rod Reiss in the first half of the episode – it mostly just exists to establish that other characters are catching on to what Eren and the audience have learned, and that kind of checklist-based storytelling is a downside of having so many moving pieces running through this story at once.

The same narrative wobbliness can be felt in the other major story beat of the episode, where Levi confronts Mikasa about her relationship to Kenny. Mikasa reveals that the only thing she knows about her family name is that they lived in exile before they were murdered because of prejudice against their family name, as well as his father having married an “Oriental” woman. I'm still not entirely sure how ethnic histories and racial politics work in AoT's world, so putting aside how all of this may or may not connect to the ethnic prejudices of our real-world civilizations, introducing racial divides into Attack on Titan's narrative is still a big deal as its own sort of reveal, and it isn't even the main point of the scene.

The real focus of Mikasa and Levi's conversation comes when Levi asks Mikasa if she ever found herself awaken to a new kind of power within her, which she confirms happened the first time she killed after meeting Eren. Levi then reveals that he and Kenny had similar experiences, and that the trio's prowess in battle can be traced back to the Ackermann lineage, as they once served as the King's most loyal protectors. Given how stylized AoT's action has always been, it's tough to tell just how much disbelief we're supposed to be suspending when our heroes are careening through the air and slicing up Titans, but apparently Levi, Kenny, and Mikasa might actually have some kind of superhuman abilities, further complicating an already convoluted web of Titan powers, mysterious serums, and stolen magic.

The show gets so lost in this side-story that Levi Squad's arrival at the broken church that supposedly stands above the crystal caverns feels almost anti-climactic. Even though the very last scene tries to build the hype back up by showing Kenny's goons lying in wait for Levi's squad, I can't help but feel like this episode tried to cram too much into a single half-hour. The material itself was good, but it probably could have been presented more cleanly. Still, I can't wait to see what goes down next week, though I can only hope that Zachary and his Machine sit episode 44 out. And maybe for the rest of the show too.

One Piece - Episode 851 [Review]

In many ways, Charlotte Katakuri is the perfect opponent for Luffy. He's the embodiment of the "everything you can do I can do better" mantra. His mochi powers give him the same malleability as Luffy's rubber, but even more troublesome is his extremely adept Color of Observation that allows him see further into the future than your average Haki user. No matter how hard Luffy tries, Katakuri can dodge his every attack.

Visually, the show is still going strong. It definitely feels like the anime staff wanted to make sure to do the arc's big title fight justice, although Luffy vs. Katakuri will eventually go on for so long that I'm certain we'll see several peaks and valleys in the production values. Spiritually, this fight evokes Luffy vs. Rob Lucci, the only other big villain fight in the series to offer this much blunt physicality. It's just two dudes putting their dukes up and punching each other. (Or at least it will be as soon as it stops being so one-sided.) I was worried a few months back about how the anime might handle the comical size difference between the two fighters, but so far so good. They're currently zipping around like DBZ characters and making good use of the mirror world's three-dimensional space.

Elsewhere, the Sunny crew has gotten some distance between themselves and Big Mom, as they lick their wounds in response to Pedro's sacrifice. This is clearly where the episode is trying to buy time, getting saccharine with repeated footage of Pedro's role in the arc, but it's a good chance to see how the different Straw Hats deal with grief. Brook collapses and blames himself for being too weak, while Jimbei has to play Mr. Pragmatic and remind the others that they can't let their feelings slow them down, because they've still got a long fight ahead of them. And boy, do they! Coming up on their rear is none other than Big Mom herself, now walking on water with the aid of Perospero's candy powers. Even the ocean can't get in Big Mom's way.

We also continue to follow Sanji, Pudding, and Chiffon flying their way to Cacao Island on Pudding's magic carpet, Rabian. Pudding remains conflicted about Sanji, so she's choosing to hide in the carpet's roll, lest the two of them be seen still dressed as a bride and groom. She could fall if she's not careful, but she's willing to risk it. We also briefly see Pound (Lola and Chiffon's dad) for the first time in ages, though he's in a dinky rowboat heading in the opposite direction.

This episode is asking the audience to take a deep breath and pace themselves. It's extremely indulgent on the story's end to constantly be introducing new problems and obstacles, each one practically announcing itself as the real beginning of Whole Cake Island's climax. I really enjoyed this week's episode, since I think it succeeds in priming the viewers for a lot of classic shonen brawling, and the animation looks great in the final stretch, but as usual there's the caveat that this show is asking a lot of its audience. We're over 60 episodes into this arc and only just now beginning a Goku vs. Frieza-length fight. At the very least, this kind of episode makes me excited to see how a "One Piece Kai" might look.

My Hero Academia - Episode 58 [Review]

So I wasn't aware that My Hero Academia was going be participating in a 24-hour Japanese charity program this week and would be detouring from the main story as a result. I suppose the alternative would be for the show to just take a week off entirely, but instead we're getting a bonus filler episode where the students of 1-A are tasked to solve a jewelry heist murder mystery orchestrated by their teachers.

This is not a bad episode by any means, but it's a little frustrating to take a break from a low-key exam arc about role-playing heroism for an even more low-key filler episode about role-playing heroism. Arbitrarily, the teachers pick out six students to participate in a special class, and the six kids just so happen to be the most popular and recognizable characters from 1-A. The most delightful spin on this scenario is that All Might is actually playing the the villain, going so far as to dress the part and look unrecognizable. (But really, who could mistake those boulder cutters he calls shoulders?) As the scenario goes on, the villain is struck by a knife, and the kids must determine who the murderer was among the hostages.

Somehow Midoriya is able to make the leap to deduce that the hostage played by Midnight was actually in love with the villain, and not wanting to let his misdeeds stain her reputation, the villain stabbed himself and committed suicide. The joke is that it's all make-believe, but the teachers have to play along like it's completely legit. Bakugo seems to be the only one uninterested in humoring any of this. The final punchline turns out to be that the villain wasn't actually dead, something the kids would have been able to determine if they didn't just assume All Might was breaking character when Tsuyu tickled him with her hair. So All Might was pretending to be a villain who was pretending to be dead.

Even for a visually conservative episode, this is still nice to look at. MHA has yet to make any kind of outright bad filler, but I still think I'd recommend your average viewer skip this. It suffers mostly for being redundant to the arc that it's interrupting while also being an advertisement for the upcoming movie, with a few brief snippets outlining All Might's relationships with the movie-original characters. The episode ends with what I presume is the moment before Two Heroes's opening. This episode is enjoyable enough for filler, but it's nothing special.

Gintama - Episode 361 [Review]

Silver Soul's latest chapter wraps up the battle against Utsuro and sets the story on an unexpected new trajectory. Despite being weakened by the crystallite shards in his bloodstream, Utsuro continues to be the gang's most formidable opponent ever. As Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura fight on, Sadaharu rapidly expends his Zen power in an effort to bring the ley lines under control. While recalling fond memories he shared with his owners, the loyal pooch uses his last ounce of strength and fades away into the Altana ether. However, with Ane and Mone acting as mediums, the denizens of the Kabuki District are able to convert their life forces to Zen energy, which Komako uses to calm the ley lines. Soon after, the Odd Jobs crew is joined on the battlefield by Nobume, Kyubei, the core members of the Shinsengumi, Sa-chan, Zenzo, Umibozu, and Kamui. As Utsuro is gradually worn down, he's forced to acknowledge that he fears Gintoki, the person who caused him to give birth to a separate personality that loved humans. As the group goes in for the kill, Utsuro is embraced by the spirit of Shoyo, prompting him to realize that he had been a fragment in Shoyo's life, not vice versa. However, before he can be finished off, the Heavenly Bird appears directly above Edo. Moments before the massive ship makes contact with the city, Utsuro throws himself into the exposed Gate as he opines that there's no one left who can save Shoyo.

Following a fade-to-white and an extended end credits sequence, the story resumes two years in the future. Edo, which is once again overrun with Amanto, is being rebuilt, and it's revealed that Japan depleted its resources in the war against the Altana Liberation Army and Utsuro. In a sequence that mirrors Gintoki and Shinpachi's first meeting, a young part-timer at the restaurant Shinpachi once worked at is mocked and demeaned by the same short-fused manager and Chatoran ambassadors who once harassed the show's most prolific tsukkomi. In much the same fashion as his mentor, an older Shinpachi comes to the boy's rescue as he rattles off Gin's iconic line: “Are you in heat or something?”

While this cour's relentless breakneck pacing worked well for the previous installment, it's something of a hindrance this time around, since this episode has so much going on (both literally and thematically) and contains a multitude of important moments that aren't given sufficient time to set in. Sadaharu recalling all the times he's welcomed the gang home is downright heartbreaking, but once he's gone, the audience has mere microseconds to mourn him before the next phase of the battle begins. (To a point, this also rings true for Bansai and Nobunobu's deaths.) This is hopefully a sign that he somehow survived his ordeal, because it's hard to picture Gintama glossing over the death of such an important character. Similarly, Otae, Otose, and countless other Kabuki District residents loaning their life energy to the cause is a great way to include the non-samurai characters in the final battle, but the sequence isn't given enough time to have the intended emotional impact. Since Utsuro's life energy comes directly from Earth's Altana, the question of whether he's truly been vanquished is still up in the air, and the Heavenly Bird appears to have leveled Edo, so the culmination of the gang's collective effort doesn't feel as satisfying as it ought to have—although this may have been the point.

Of course, episode 361 still manages to do a lot of things right. The action choreography is as on-point as ever, and only the most hardhearted of viewers wouldn't become emotional during the Sadaharu and Shoyo flashbacks. Fully aware of what's at stake, Gintoki no longer expresses any hesitation when it comes to killing Utsuro, and the Shoyo persona ultimately leading to his downfall is yet another interesting full-circle move. (It also raises the question of whether the goal of Shoyo's training had been to prepare Gintoki to face Utsuro.) Interspersing the first act with flashbacks of Sadaharu interacting with his owners one-on-one effectively illustrates the anti-mascot's personal motivations for sacrificing himself. (It even paved the way for the return of the monja joke.) Ever the loyal pet, Sadaharu aimed to create a comfortable home for the Odd Jobs trio, and even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice, he remains steadfastly committed to that goal.

Although the climactic final battle is at an end, the story is far from over and will now continue two years in the future. Shinpachi's narration and the parallels to his first encounter with Gintoki help give the show a sense of coming full circle, but at present, there are too many unanswered questions for Gintama to bow out just yet. Where the story will go from here is anyone's guess, but given its track record, it's a safe bet that Gintama will manage to stick the landing.

خلاصه داستان (منبع)

After her crushing defeat of 21-0 at the National Junior Badminton Tournament, Nagisa Aragaki's love for her sport begins to distort. Unable to deal with the shame of loss, she starts to terrorize the members of her high school badminton club. Her grueling drills bring some to the verge of tears while others quit the club outright. With the team losing members and new prospects being too terrified to join, the future of the badminton club looks exceptionally grim.

That is, until Kentarou Tachibana joins as the new head coach. Not only is he an Olympic-level player, but he also comes bearing a secret weapon: Ayano Hanesaki, the girl who defeated Nagisa six months ago. However, Ayano is not the rival Nagisa remembers, but a girl with conflicted feelings wanting to distance herself from badminton. With her future in sports now on the line, Nagisa must find a way to face her fears of inadequacy, heal her rival's troubled heart, and bring victory to Kitakomachi High School's badminton club.

Based on the manga series written by Kosuke Hamada, published by Kodansha since 2013.
