Clevatess Season 2 Episode 7 – “The World We See, And the Hidden World”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE EPISODE. LIKE, I GENUINELY BELIEVE THAT I CAN'T MAKE THE POINTS THAT I WANT TO MAKE WITHOUT BRINGING UP THESE SPOILERS. This is the second time that I've had to include a major spoiler warning in a content warning this week. I'm not even going to do the joke I usually do when things occur twice here.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 7 – “I Made Great Memories”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS FOR THE SERIES THAT I CANNOT AVOID TALKING ABOUT IF I WANT THIS WRITEUP TO MAKE SENSE. You know that shit's getting serious if I have to include that in a post. Like, I genuinely believe that if I don't include these spoilers, this writeup literally would not make sense.

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 8 – “Life in the Castle Town | The Black Cat and the Adventurous Prince”

Screw Wordpress for going from the "you automatically get to see your text in its rem and can edit it to your liking" back to the "preset font size that you can toggle to be custom though you don't get to see the default value" thing it had before. I don't even know when they did the change due to just how infrequently I actually pay attention to that side of the screen, but I guess they saw the good praise I gave them back in July and were like "shoot, we've got to reverse that default back to what it was", or if I was misunderstanding something on my end, but just...augh!

Meitantei Precure Episode 29 – “The Duo’s Past”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: Spoilers (both for the episode and future episodes via discussion of visuals of the second ending theme--which premiered in this episode--and the preview for the next episode), Sara getting way too heated at decisions made in a show intended for children. (Okay, that last one isn't a serious content warning, just a heads up before you inevitably point that out.)

Clevatess Season 2 Episode 6 – “Whispering Voice”

Alrighty! It's Clevatess writeup time! This one is late, and for that, I apologize! Watching this episode literally slipped my mind on the literal day of the simulcast since there was already so much that I was trying to keep up with on that day, and by the time I did remember that I still needed to do this, I felt like it would be too late in the day for me to do the writeup to the quality I wanted it to be at.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 6 – “Think About This Child’s Happiness”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: SPOILERS, SPOILERS, SPOILERS! I'm sorry, it's literally going to be impossible for me to talk about this episode without talking about the ending of the episode more in depth than I usually do. That's literally where my brain has latched onto for this episode, and if I'm going to talk about this episode, I'm going to have to talk about the ending, but because the ending is technically spoilers...yeah, I think I'm fully justified with this warning.

Meitantei Precure Episode 28 – “The Mysterious Thief Decchi Agein”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: Spoilers that I don't feel comfortable talking about without this warning. Okay Nijee, move over, you've officially be dethroned as "my #1 Meitantei Precure hear-me-out", because Decchi Agein? Oh yeah, he is 100% taking that spot. His age hasn't been stated at the time of writing this post, but unless it turns out he's been a minor this entire time (which I doubt considering the disguise he used here), I'm gonna treat him like he's an adult.

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 7 – “The Return of the Mother Cat”

Kitties! :3 I'm sorry, I tried to think of a better way to lead into this post, but I literally can't think of anything that would really work to lead into this. Sorry. 😦 I'll have to do my best to give you guys the writeup that you deserve, considering that, despite the fact that the time this goes up likely won't reflect it at all, I have had…

Clevatess Season 2 Episode 5 – “Battle With Oneself”

I feel like this season keeps on getting better and better. Maybe it's just a case of "I've already watched a season of this show, so I already know exactly what to expect for this series", compared to the other shows that I'm regularly reviewing here, where I'm trying to get a grasp of the feel of the series as I'm watching it.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 5 – “Prepared to Pay for What I’ve Done”

This is the episode of all time. Good enough for me to take back part of what I said in my post about the previous episode of this series. Trust me, when you read this, you'll understand exactly why I'm saying that when you read further into the post. All I will say before I begin covering the episode proper is that a statement that I made in my post about the previous episode gets rendered to be…

Meitantei Precure Episode 27 – “I’m a Star Detective Now.”

...okay, I'm not even going to do the "Well, the subtitles/metadata title says (blank) but the Japanese text shows (blank)" thing for this post. Do you realize how many of these episodes I've had to be like "screw the subtitles/metadata, I'm going to stick closer to the Japanese text!" just because I want to be more accurate to the Japanese? Too many, man.

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 6 – “The Evening of Foxtails”

I know that for people who haven't been paying close attention to the blog, this post coming out now seems odd when these usually come out in the evening. However, due to plans that I have on the actual simulcast day for this show, which shares it with the simulcast day for the show whose post usually goes up at this time, due to it actually being a…

Clevatess Season 2 Episode 4 – “The Dark Tower”

Okay, wow. Sorry, trying to find more ways to express my bewilderment than just the same ways I have been doing. This was an episode. I know I straight up just locked in on my post about Episode 4 of Victoria of Many Faces, which even I can't tell you what about that episode in particular just made me strap myself down and write.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 4 – “Are You Going to Arrest Me?”

Wordpress did another change regarding how it editor looks but...I don't completely hate it, if I'm being honest. Yes, there's still something about it that I dislike, being that the header from the other pages for my behind the scenes stuff is now being dragged to the editor when I had already gotten used to it not being there, but the rest of it I feel is actually pretty good.

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 5 – “The White Cat and the Girl”

Another episode of the kitty show! And yes, it's technically the kitty and dragon show due to the fact that there's also a dragon that's a main character, but since 3 out of the 5 episodes so far had a cat take more of the spotlight than the dragon, that just makes it the kitty show by default. Anyway, it's episode time!

Meitantei Precure Episode 26 – “Cure Eclair Returns!”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: Spoilers because I AM NOT NORMAL ABOUT THE ENDING OF THIS EPISODE. I've probably done this bit enough times, but I am being 100% serious when I say the following: please pardon my swearing, but what the fuck. /pos I know I can say that quite often about the episodes of shows that I watch, but I think it's genuinely needed here this time.

Clevatess Season 2 Episode 3 – “The Hero Legend and the Village of Origin”

First of all, before I even start this post properly, I want to give a bit of a "screw you" to the person who wrote the metadata for this episode's title. Village of Origin makes a lot more sense for the episode title than "Town of Beginnings". I'm pulling what I did with my Kaya-chan Isn't Scary writeups and trusting the subtitlers over the metadata, as the subtitlers usually feel like they have the more accurate title.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 3 – “I Couldn’t Become Someone to Be Depended Upon”

Mom (you know who you are), if you're reading this post before watching the episode yourself since we didn't watch the episode together, stop. Watch the episode. Even make sure your writeup for it is fully finished before reading my post. I want you to have fully processed everything about this episode before engaging with my post. This feels like the time I told my mom last season not to read my post about the at-the-time latest…

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 4 – “The Black Cat and the Prince”

I'm really loving how so far this series has been managing to keep this "The and the " naming structure that this series uses for its episodes. It pairs nicely with the episode title, as we've already gotten that title structure established. It'll be interesting to see if they continue with this name structure the entire way through, or if there are some episodes where they have to stray from this structure.

Meitantei Precure Episode 25 – “Cure Eclair’s Identity”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: This post WILL spoil who Cure Eclair is without hiding it behind a details box. If you have yet to see Episode 25 and you're actively following the series, make sure to watch it first. Yeah guys, I don't want to have to tiptoe around Cure Eclair's identity in my writeup about the episode that is…

Unfortunately, I am not confident myself in how to label it, though I can confirm it does involve blood.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 2 – “No One Should Feel Sorry for Me”

Okay, just to make it clear, in my previous post about this show, when I said "Asher", I was referring to Jeffery, or as I shall refer to him in the remainder of my posts, Jeff, mainly because I was struggling to remember if we learned his name last episode at all, so I just went with whatever name I could see get used for him, and since I saw the last name first, that's what I used.

The Cat and the Dragon Episode 3 – “The Kittens and the Winged Uncle”

It's hard to think of a good pre-writeup thing for this when I'm spending my time listening to the most recent opening theme of another show that I watch that releases on Saturdays. But hey, what can I say? I really love that show and the song, and that love's fire. Anyway, time to actually start this. The episode starts with a recap of part of the first episode, detailing how the egg that became the Cat Dragon was laid, the egg hatching when the momma cat is raising her kits, and even the detail of the momma cat being summoned away, also noting down that the Cat Dragon chooses to stay at the cave to help protect the cats.

Meitantei Precure Episode 24 – “Case Closed with Rei!”

"Could you hold on a minute before you continue?"CONTENT WARNING: Unmarked spoilers for the episode that I feel like would ruin the suspense of the episode if you read it before watching the episode. Keep reading with this in mind. And, here we are. The episode of this "which suspect is Cure Eclair?" arc that doesn't really feel like it needs to exist because we already had Episode 14 prove that Rei can't see into the whole place where the Cures fight (and, uh, spoiler, but…

Clevatess Season 2 Episode 1 – “Solsein, the Divine Academy”

This is the first show that I've covered on this site where I actually get to cover a continuation to the story! Yay! And before people point it out, yes, I know this season is officially known as Clevatess II, but just to keep formatting consistent across my posts, as I suspect that I won't be needing to use any custom name when the second season of another show that I've watched that has announced a second season comes out.

Victoria of Many Faces Episode 1 – “Free, Unbound by Anyone”

After an underwhelming announcement for something not anime related that I was following, I was hoping for something, anything, to make my Tuesday better. Remembering that Tuesdays are also the days that episodes of Victoria of Many Faces simulcast, and that the Tuesday I'm talking about was the debut of the series, I had the feeling that this was going to be the thing I was looking for.
