So certain people out there have called Deku getting 7 more powers a jump the shark moment for stupid reasons. It didn't come out of nowhere, was foreshadowed that One for All could do alot more than just enhance strength and speed and Midoriya's not getting to unlock them all at once. This...

The real big problem that Yashahime has is the thing that lots of people criticized Inuyasha back in the day for. The plot never seems to advance at all. Remember how the Inuyasha-Kagome-Kikyo love triangle never seemed to resolve or Naraku just wouldn't die? Yashahime has that problem in spades...

I’m not going to pretend I was a super hardcore fan of his work (I enjoyed it on a casual basis and played that PS2 Berserk game to see what happened after the 97 anime.) but the man was only 54 and influenced so much in terms of dark fantasy, the huge sword trope, etc. His influence was grand...

Also, here the music video of the opening that serves as an epilogue of sorts for the series and how Akane is adjusting to real life.

SSSS.GRIDMAN, a short summary:

And Eren is now the Mussolini/Hitler/Trump of Paradis Island. Oh Boy.

Can't you see the subtext that Akane is very much a massive insecure, possibly bullied teen who resents others for hurting her, but deep down longs to be popular and beloved in the "Real World" she originally came from? Gridman, you see has a major theme in common with both Evangelion and...

We are free of the Horror again.... FOR NOW.

So yeah, we are going into "In war, there are no good sides" territory. This approach can be done well but it is a very hard tightrope to walk across and not fall off of in bad taste and tone-deaf views. And Hajime Isayama... well... I'll get back to you where it goes at the end of the season.

Kirito: Eugio is the only person I'll ever love. Asuna: uuuuh Kirito: You knew what this was.

Here is a MV of the original Japanese opening song that should give you taste of what to expect here: And here is the opening of the American adaptation from the 90s... Tim Curry really would take a role in anything those days.

What have we leaned here? All the pretty animation, dynamic directing, good voice acting, "dramatic stakes" and "moving scenes" can't save anything if the writing of a series is just fundamentally terrible. And Sword Art Online every season proves itself to be a waste of talent on all fronts.

So yeah, the point of the flashback was to show that Bruno and the others fates were quite literally set in stone. There only choice in the matter was to make their inevitable deaths count for something in pursuit of a worthy cause. [FATE] in the JoJoverse is basically an absolute godlike force...

So yeah, JoJo Part 5 is ending on a flashback adventure. The fandom's reaction was and still is mixed to Araki's choice here.
