This week in anime
1. The final episode of Ao no Exorcist was unsurprisingly underwhelming.
2. The first episode of Kimi to Boku was just as boring as the first chapter of the manga. But I got Manga!Boy x Pretty!Boy vibes from the manga, I'll probably pick it back up if that ever goes anywhere. Otherwise there's really no way I'm gonna spend time watching more of ( Read more... )

Not understanding people is one thing, but I'm getting pretty tired of the "I can't tell them about the book of friends" and "I can't tell my family that I can see yokai." Again, it's all probably viewer refresher, but from my end, it sounds like he's trying to convince himself even though the right answer is clearly otherwise. Since he bangs around the idea that he can't tell the Fujiwaras about his abilities, I'm still holding out hope that the ultimate moment in this show is him actually TELLING them. SO many of his companions have told him that they can't "Be a real family" until he is open with them (wow, does this ever sound like Kare Kano, or what?) and that's why episode 16 was so beautiful to me, because Natori lays it all out for him very bluntly. "You are deceiving them."
I did pick up the Mushishi manga a while back (because it was at my library, woot!) but I couldn't make it through the first volume. Then again, I wouldn't have been able to make it through the first chapter of ( ... )

Also I am far too tired to actually write anything coherent right now, but my favorite season so far was season 2. And my favorite part of season 3 was getting to actually see what Natsume looks like flailing around and talking at youkai when other people can't see what he's reacting to. We'd heard about it in other seasons, but this season we got to see his two school friends watch him dive off a bridge for no apparent reason and we also got to see Tanuma and Takii see Natsume wander around with INTENSE PURPOSE after something they couldn't see or hear. I liked seeing him through their eyes. It made his weirdness more real and I could understand more why others might be afraid of him. And I looooved that all his friends love him anyway, even though he does do weird things sometimes. :) Love love love.
That's all the coherence I can muster tonight. ♥

That episode when he falls in the water is sooooo excellent. He really does look like a total freak. And his friends not only jump in to rescue his ass, but then they just roll with it: Natsume just does weird shit, now let's go dry off. And then they go to Natsume's house and they totally barge in. because they know what it means to be a family, even if Natsume doesn't quite get it yet. Poor guy.
I love it. XD Hope you got some sleep!
