Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War S2E4: "Ai Hayasaka Wants Him to Fall for Her" (Uncle Sam Wants You to Fall for Ai Hayasaka)
...is this a dream sequence?This is feeling a lot like a dream sequence.
Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War S2E4: "Ai Hayasaka Wants Him to Fall for Her"
Less than two minutes into this episode, and I'm already terrified.
Kaguya-Sama: Love Is War S2E2: "People Want to Do Things"
It's too bad there are still two seasons left to go; if not for that, I'd think "Kaguya dates Miyuki's sister" would be a clever subversive ending to the story, assuming that Miyuki gets a satisfying ending of his own to complement it.
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War S2E1: "Holy Fuck You Thought the Last Episode Title Was Long Just Get A Load of This Absolute Leviathan of Text"
I get that the episodes are named after the manga chapters that they're adapting, but once you're mashing four or five of them together without any truncation I think you might need an intervention. Seriously, how are people even supposed to refer to these episodes?
Fate/Zero S2E12: "Fate/Zero" (continued even more)
So, that's that. Fate/Zero is not good. It looks better than it is if you squint from a certain angle, but even that falls apart once you hit the finale.
Fate/Zero S2E12: "Fate/Zero" (continued)
I mean, is anyone surprised at this point? Anyone at all? Even a little?
Fate/Zero S2E12: "Fate/Zero"
I see the words "Fate/Zero," and I have an immediate, positive emotional response because of how long I spent mostly liking it. It only takes a second for my mind to catch up to where I am right now, and I just feel this crushing dissonance that almost makes my head spin. I've seen other shows whose quality fluctuated massively from season to season, but in this case the story was adapted (very closely) from a single book by a single author.
Fate/Zero S2E11: "The Last Command Seal" (continued)
So, I guess Iri really did just get killed off with zero fanfare a couple episodes ago, then? That was the most dismissive treatment of almost any named character in this entire series.
Fate/Zero S2E11: "The Last Command Seal"
This demon is a goddamned joke. No fucking wonder it still hasn't gotten free after all these Grail Wars.
Fate/Zero S2E10: “the Sea at the End of the World”
Well gee Arturia, I don't know. How COULD he have become Berserker? You don't think that maybe somebody summoned him into that role, do you?
Kaguya-Sama S1E10: "Kaguya Won't Forgive"
...you know, if I didn't know that there were multiple seasons of this show, I'd be pretty sure we were about to hit the finale. With the tension escalated by the previous episode, this scene really feels like it's going to end with them rolling around the floor covered in frosting and strawberry jelly.
Kaguya-Sama: Love is War S1E9: “Long Title/Seriously Long-Ass Title/Holy Fuck Why Is This Episode Title So Long?”
Chika is either holding onto this way passed the appropriate age, or she's doing a bit. Granted, that question applies to almost everything that Chika says and does, so.
Fate/Zero S2E9: "All the Evil In the World"
...maybe I should just treat Kirei's motivations the same way I'll be treating the Grail rules. Just make like the TNG showrunners and leave "(insert technobabble here)" on the scripts for other people to fill in.
Fate/Zero S1E8: "Knight on Two Wheels" (continued)
My preemptive apologies to anyone who was planning to commission more of the Fate S/N animes. Thanks to Zero, this is what Gilgamesh and Kirei will always be to me now.
Fate/Zero S2E8: "Knight on Two Wheels"
Almost three thousand words already, and the second half of this episode is going to make me say...well...words. Plural. Very plural words.
Fate/Zero S2E7: "Return of the Assassin"
Fate/Zero didn't start out as shit, but it sure became it by the final quarter.
