So Nico has a sex-change spell. That means… Miharu is best girl! That skit looked a lot like an average Love Live episode.

Akira is the cosplayer Gojo contacted because he wants to learn more about props

OC cosplays are possible? Does that mean I can live out my chuuni fantasies? ✨(☆▽☆)✨Small world. Akira apparently knows Marin. The tension is evident, yet the episode does not explain why. Maybe saving it for the next one… I feel it’s just something silly; Akira strikes me as an awkward chuuni in her younger days.
Suzuka’s a closet pervert lmao.
This week’s banner, Akira’s M E N A C I N G aura
just before she activates her Stand. There’s a lot of unsaid communication done here. Suzuka (and Miyako a few frames before) gazed at Akira, as if they’re egging her to join the Coffin group. Akira folded her arms like she wants nothing to do with them.To add more to the awkwardness while trying to fill the missing members, Gojo was aghast that Marin would invide Juju.

I love 90% of the ending but this seemingly intelligent being letting himself drain to nothing
Father may be intelligent but he’s not omniscient. Evil has a way of defeating itself.

It never occurred to Sauron that Frodo would destroy the Ring.

Nemu and Keigo-focused episode: Nemu wants to open up to Keigo, but she remembered what her mom taught her. She lost control of her floating magic. But on the other hand, Keigo, struggling with controlling the levitation ring Nico gave him, remembered his figure skating skills to finally utilize it and save Nemu.
Perhaps, that’s the moment Nemu fell in love with Keigo. Great episode.

- Comment on [News] Takopi's Original Sin becomes first anime to have each episode rated over 9 on IMDb 1 week ago:
My rating of Vivy is 9, and thought Takopi is much, much better overall. I may agree with you that in terms of twist endings, Vivy (and also 86) could be better. As to why? Perhaps it’s better explained there. Certainly, in terms of the plot twist, Death Note and Steins;Gate did it better than both of them.
As to why I would rate it a 10 (not just that, but the best anime, period), I took into account the totality of the work. Long story short, once all factors are considered, the conclusion is that Takopi’s just built better.
-
Format: It didn’t force itself to last a whole season. The staff deliberately chose to adapt a whole story in six episodes. Remember how we wish Death Note ended sooner?
-
Consistency in storytelling quality
-
Consistency in art style and quality. Even more impressive is the studio choosing to stick to 2D. Their 3DCG in Spice and Wolf (2024) is ass. They made the right decision to keep that to a minimum. I may be biased on hand-drawn animation styles since upon retrospect, I tend to rate those works highly (Frieren, Shinkai’s works, the WMT series, etc.).
-
Amazing episode direction, all of them
-
Amazing music direction. Very few times do discordant music (the mood of the scene does not match the music) work. They did it. Very well.
-
Comparing the manga and anime ratings, I don’t recall another animation that stayed faithful to the source material AND elevating the experience at the same time.
-
Takopi made me feel emotions that I’ll remember long after I watched it. Vivy didn’t evoke the same. Perhaps a lot of those who rated Takopi that highly thought likewise

Nemu and Keigo getting shy implies they like each other. Nico unintentionally friendzones herself by writing a letter of friendship with Morihito, but Nemu theorizes it could be broaken by eliciting a strong enough reaction from Morihito.
He doesn’t know better, but Nico’s smile that reminds him of their childhood selves is a neuron activation. Strong enough to break the curse, it looks like.

Writing-wise, Haikyuu is basically the volleyball version of
You’re not wrong. From my POV, the connection is made for a different reason. Pasting my recommendation reason in MAL:
spoiler
“Haikyu” is like a very detailed version of “Sound Euphonium” S3. There is an untold story of how the captain Sawamura Daichi helped develop a flightless Karasuno High School volleyball team to a national contender in his final year of high school. Sound Euphonium explores Kumiko’s entire school journey as a member of the concert band to her life as their captain. Or maybe, “Sound Euphonium” S3 is like a condensed version of the entirety of “Haikyu”, including the yet-unadapted parts. One can analogize Mayu with either Kageyama or Hinata, the genius newcomers who are the crucial pieces of a powerhouse team. Mayu’s story isn’t told much in Sound Euphonium, but Kageyama and Hinata’s is a central plot of Haikyu.

- Comment on What anime pleasantly surprised you the most? 2 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, I’m only at episode one of MDD, but it has the fingerprints of BTR all over its animation. You could tell the BTR team is working on it. Likewise, from what I see of The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, it builds upon the quality of Akebi.
It’s why I love Cloverworks so much as a studio.
