maybe the reason why i love tbhk so much isn't bc of the potential for theory discussion, the horror themes, the doomed lovers, the doomed by the narrative character, the queercoding of mitsukou, metaphor of cannibalism as love, identity issues (mitsuba), the yokai/spirits stories and their contrast with humans, the mystery, the romance, the art or any of the other things i like...
the reason i just became obsessed with this series is all of the above, yes. but more importantly is the siblings going through the horrors™ (and i think that's the reason why fmab is still my favourite animanga of all time. for me there is nothing more angsty than siblings)
the shoushimin s2 opening is so good, so sooooo good. i'm so exited for this season and urino isn't as annoying as in the novels when we isn't the narrator (≧▽≦)
watching the new episode i can't help but wonder how hanako felt when, trying to act closer to what nene would like, she is just missing the real him
Sawako and Kazehaya are finally dating, but it isn't as easy and simple as expected. Meanwhile Chizu and Ayane navigate their own feelings about love.
I actually liked a lot this season, i'm not a big fan of romance and when the couples start dating i usually get bored, but it didn't happened to me this time.
About SawaKaze's relationship i enjoyed the conflict that builded up and the resolution, having them go "meeting parents" to awkwardness wasn't something i was expecting, but it made sense. Kazehaya worrying so much about doing the right thing, but losing the bigger picture while Sawako was overthinking things so much but still trying is something I love of her personality.
Then Kazehaya closing himself instead of actually talking his mind and hurting her accidentally wasn't as frustrating as i thought it would be. As I said before it made sense and I actually like a lot their talk in christmas and how it's made a parallel with the one of the past year to make the "break" of the conflict.
I really love their relationship how they grew through this season.
Chizu and Ryu were cute, one was waiting for this and it was incredible pleasing to see. Chizu's doubts and trying to navigate her feelings about Ryu before and after the confession was great especially how serious she is about it, so it didn't feel forced. A really wholesome childhood friends to lovers story.
And this season I fell in love with Ayane, don't get me wrong i already liked her, but developing her character and the arc it gave her was so good and relatable, is not the kind of character you always find (even if she is not the only one) so it felt refreshing and it was a good contrast with sawako.
Maybe, I wold have appreciated more of Miura tho, still i liked how things worked out between him and ayane. I'm not fond of all friends in a group ending up dating each other (it's boring), but i think this time it works, it felt real and how the bonds formed was natural.
To add i always adore seeing the friendship of the girls and how they accompany and support each other 🤧🤧
Now about Netflix's work, as an anime only fan i found it good paced and it was beautiful, but i didn't like how netflix uploaded it. The format of hour long episodes means people have to make themselves time to not cut it and that is annoying (at least for me), with all of them being up the same day... I really hate that.
I think there is a charm with building up the tension in weekly releases, especially with sawakaze bc it would represent more the six (6!!!!) months that pass, and that makes the payoff more satisfying (but maybe is just me).
The extra "6th episode" of summary was not the best choice in my opinion, it would have been better to be realeased before the season, it being after the s3 end it just feels weird.
So, this 3rd season was amazing, how the characters developed and the resolutions to their arcs were good. It definitely is a series that deserves it's popularity and i would recommend it to someone looking for a beautiful romance.

something about how the night changes or something
Dazai, do you know about Pétrus? That night you left the organization, I opened an '89 bottle of it to celebrate. That's how fed up with you I was.
I've been thinking about this scene, and about how Chuuya in Storm Bringer seemed to consider himself beyond saving while simultaneously yearning for someone to do save him, and about his eventual resolve and commitment to the Port Mafia, and about how his fate ultimately opposes Dazai's.
i bring today the theory that the clock-keepers cat isn't a yugi twin, but actually the yugi mom
the twins have HER eyes!!!
so does the cat!!
"but it has hanako/tsukasa's personality" well, kids do have their parents personality!
and it's nowhere said that the cat is male, so it can be female!!
"it's a male suit" wrong, it's just the clock-keeper aesthetic!!
The last panel doesn’t really work. It was hilarious in my head.
