i just finished watching nichijou for the first time and it was SO MUCH FUN!!! i laughed so hard at times and felt so happy at others. just such a feel good, funny anime. i loved watching the girls become friends and go through life in silly, unique ways. i highly recommend this show!
i would literally do anything to watch hxh for the first time again. i miss killua and gon so badly i rewatch scenes just to get the feeling back...hunter x hunter is such an amazing series and killugon have become favorites of mine for the long term. i hope we get to see them again soon <3
finished reading the second pentagram test arc. what a beautiful end to a fantastic arc. i loved getting to know more about richeh! at this point, each of the four girls all have made their personality and desires known which i love! they are all so different and offer something the others don’t have to the story. their differences combined make them stronger together.
we've seen how magic can cause suffering in this arc, but we also know how the young witches have the power to change it or at least make a slight difference. although euini isn't back to normal, there's hope that there is a way to save him. despite how awful magic can be, trusted adults like qifrey & olruggio give them the guidance & care to show the girls the right path.
such a beautiful arc full of character development & story progression, as well as amazing art. it's my favorite arc in wha so far!!
starting a new series that you’re looking forward to VS the comfort of revisiting your fav series is always something i have to battle with. there’s just too many things i want to watch and read…TOO MANY AMAZING SERIES THAT I ALREADY LOVE AND ONES I NEED TO DISCOVER!
just read chapter 40 of witch hat atelier and my initial reaction was, "what the hell just happened?" but after rereading it, i think i've come to better understand qifrey's motives.
before it happens, qifrey starts to talk about how happy he is teaching the girls magic. he's at peace in his atelier, living and taking care of the four girls alongside olruggio but he still hasn't let go of what happened in his youth. in fact, the peacefulness he feels every day has made his uneasiness worse. now it isn't only just him that could be hurt. it's his precious students and olruggio that he has to lose now. there's much more at stake than there was before.
so while he begins to confess the truth, he doesn't allow olruggio to keep his memories. qifrey's trauma still haunts him even at his happiest. for some people, they would leave the horrible things in the past to enjoy the good they have in the present. but for qifrey it's an impossible thing to do. it would be so much better to have at least ONE person to confide to and have support you, but qifrey doesn't allow it. it's completely irrational and bound to create problems in the future, but it shows how far qifrey is willing to go to achieve his goal. he CHOOSES to look for answers all on his own knowing the path will be difficult.
qifrey is someone the girls look up to; we see him as a cheerful guy who is someone we can count on. but this chapter showed us that he's still that child searching for answers. it doesn't matter how much time has passed or how much wiser or stronger he has become; he can never move on from his past until he stops the brimmed caps' plan.
i wish qifrey acted in some other way or allowed himself to lean on olruggio but it adds more to his character. he's complicated; he has his own agenda, yet his love for the people in his life is undeniable. he will stop at nothing to find answers but won't endanger his loved ones to get them. this chapter was so well done, and i'm excited to see where this takes the story!
for those of you sad that kageyama and hinata end up on different teams post time skip, i have some good news!!! the japanese national team, which they both end up on, doesn’t just compete at the olympics. the national team competes at an array of different championships, most notably the FIVB Volleyball Nations League, which is held every year. so whatever team they decide to go play for around the world, they still come back to play together every summer (and also some other times sprinkled throughout the year).
THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL 😭😭😭😭
*smoooooooooooch*
i love love so much!!!! i love shipping!!! i love characters finding their soulmates!!! i love when characters discover their feelings! it’s so beautiful to watch and read about! love is so special and valuable to us all!
