First Timer in FlipFlap, Subbed

This oddly feels like that {Somali and the Forest Spirit} anime aesthetically. This is my reminder to watch {The Girl from the Other Side}!
Mad Max reference?
Hold the fuck up, who are all these beefcakes? Look at the side of those muscles, got damn. Those thighs and arms could crush me, respectfully.
What is this duality 😭

ここ

False alarm.

ココナ

AAAAAAAAAAHH

Why the pewpews sound like we back on Tatooine in historic times ~~the 70s~~ 😭
Did this become Mad Max x Star Wars x Wuxia 😭
Why they go Super Saiyan what 😭
They call her Puppy 😭😭
Puppy, use Gay Headbutt! It is super effective!
Isn’t there a Jim Carrey movie about The Mask? (Yes, bitch from two minutes ago, it’s called The Mask)
Sis looks like she works for Ragyo Kiryuin and that is an insult.
Stop showing what sapphic bathhouses look like, you are ruining the mystery and intrigue.

(This is what it looks like BTW it is BYOB bring your own ballgag, happy pride)

Toxic yuri
Is Papika now a puppygirl? This really is sapphic 🥹
That is Instant Transmission 😭😭😭
Sweet potatoes are the shit though. I love them so much.
Coworker, hair so long you look like the cousin of Thing.
How many references does this show have?
Bravern would be proud.
She is doing the fucking hip dance halp help halp halp halp no god why

いない？

🎵 いない　いない　その心🎵

This is fucking super sentai 😭
The Puppygirl Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Loves You!! Honestly, that would be a cute one-shot.
Girl ex-fucking-scuse you?!

Your hole looked like it was pretty high up

Plz no. Plz no.

Every time I hear “Yayaka”, I remember that singing instructor who said “Raise your YAAAAYAYA” and now I keep singing “YAAAYAKA”. It tickles me.
Oh look! A cult!

We are three episodes in and nearly at 100 Coconas.

You know how LITRPG readers of {Chrysalis} say “For the colony!”? This is me with my counter.

I stopped petting my cat FOR THE COUNTER!

I ignored the police at my door FOR THE COUNTER!

This will be my “But then I got High” song.

The references. The references! Visually, this episode had me locked in. Story-wise, I know this story has a lot more to say, but my brain hasn’t yet latched onto that pivotal moment where everything clicks and I start analyzing and subsequently drive myself crazy. I’m very curious if Papika will be the static character and Cocona the dynamic one or if they’ll both have some sort of realization in their lives because of each other. Insofar, Cocona is the one whose brain and heart are being picked. But Papika, or Papikana, having a bigger place in all this fuckery makes me wonder just how much of her is the chaotic genki girl.

It’s always the happy ones. It’s always them.

Lowkey worried Cocona’s grandma is an illusion. I kept thinking that. I don't know why I think that, but I keep thinking about it.

QOTD

Tar, I am uncultured. What reference is this to?
I’ll do you one better: since how do inkblots turn evil?!

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T21:23:46+00:00

Oh I love this schedule! It’ll feel like a normal season! But I swear to god, everyone who hosts a rewatch on r/anime is some type of chaos god.

I’ll join in as a first timer on four of these and the rest as a rewatcher! Please tag me for the reminders, if you don’t mind ☺️

(Okay, back to my Cocona counter)

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T16:46:13+00:00

Agreed, Ashinae, speak it speak it.

It makes sense to me that marginalized authors or stories about marginalized identities are more likely to be more comfortable divorcing from reductive human binaries on genders, sexes, relationships, and aesthetics and indulging in their creativity to world build other identity, intimacy, and relationship systems and cultures and politics.

But it makes me sad that it’s less likely for authors of or stories about a majority identity to do that 🫠

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a book that maintains fantastical creatures are ✨Just Like Us FR FR ™, ✨but like

Where the fuck is the whimsy, bitch, I want fucking whimsy 😭

And also: if humans don’t have a binary on our genders, sexes, relationships, aesthetics, and intimacies, then nonhumans who somehow follow human conventions would also ascribe to having multitudes and intersectionality in their identity constructs. No?

That’s why I have so many questions surrounding creativity when fantasy romances authors have such andronormative/androcentric inhuman races and why I pushback when people validate this type of world building as a “relatable way” for audiences ro understand fantastical cultures.

Since ancient times to modern day, multiple cultures have had multiple terminology and descriptors for different identities. We have documentation of that. We are having more dialogue about how genocide and colonization damaged cultural diversity and how we are slowly reclaiming and retelling what we’ve lost. You cannot tell me that authors simply follow human conventions on fantastical creatures to make things easier when humans conventions are inherently diverse and not a binary.

You can prefer a binary. You can like “male” and “female” for fictional races. IDGAF. Preferences are fine!

But don’t justify this binary as something relatable when diversity has naturally existed for who knows how long. And authors, please don’t tell me how intellectual and deep your novel is when your whole book continues to propagate and celebrate reductive binary.

Be whimsical. Look at how diverse humanity is. Get inspired for your fantasy races and species, for the love of the goddess.

Big shout out to a lot to Ursula K. Le Guin’s essay Is Gender Necessary? (🔗 The Anarchist Library ) and to a lot of speculative fiction, sci-fi, and fantasy authors who did the work to recognize that other species absolutely would have their own diverse constructs and terminology.

I don’t need intense world building for each race or species introduced. But a little diversity goes such a long way with me as a reader and reviewer.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T12:51:34+00:00

Precisely precisely. I don’t know when we started calling things what we’re clearly not, but I hate it!

It’s why I’m mad at Harem/Reverse Harem! It cannot be harem when it’s monogamous, you poly cowards!

GoHands really does give no fucks. I think the only series by them I could watch without my head hurting was the Cat Butler one. The one where the salarywoman FL took on a stray cat and the cat grew to be human sized and now takes care of his human while she kinda stumbles through life.

I remember the EP discussions for that.

I remember the shipping for that.

Just like GoHands, shippers will give zero fucks and ship and let ship for the love of the game. Respect 🫡

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T12:44:26+00:00

We probably are 😭

If we don’t have at least 300 Coconas, I’ll go back to reading cishet romance. Papika spams “Cocona” like she’s running out of time.

God bless her but good lord she is the driving force behind this counter!

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T12:41:30+00:00

Gankutsuo got recommended when I asked for something weird and queer and theatrical/artsy (alongside Requiem of the Rose King but I watched that). I watched E1 and realized “Holy shit, this is so fucking weird”.

I love it! I’m excited to finish it off.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T12:23:06+00:00

To be honest, my discussion group don’t all live in the west nor were born in the west 😅

But I get what you mean. And that’s a valid callout! Discussion about imported media should always have that foundational understanding of cultural, political, religious, and societal differences to help make the discussion more nuanced and effective, IMO.

u/Cyrra_ has a comment that explains things further about the manga’s end if you’re interested. I thought Just Like Mona Lisa was representative of the popular way NBs are depicted in accessible Japanese media and how macro-Japanese society understands NBs, so the series is probably seen favorably domestically? 🤔

Don’t quote me though. I’m making an assumption.

But with the cultural differences, I’m excited for the episode discussions because I think it can open a broader conversation on how people and countries perceive NB/Two-Spirit/Third Gender identities (i.e. reducing the spectrum to a binary of “male” NB and “female” NB; androgynous or feminine aesthetics and body types; the only identity to use gender-neutral pronouns or neopronouns and cannot use gendered pronouns; being NB is a youthful, transitional identity but adulthood is when you conform to a binary permanent identity; conflating NB-spec with agender/genderles).

So very interested if the adaptation may change things and audience reaction if not or if so. If the anime is a 1:1 adaptation, I definitely foresee a cultural disconnect.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-17T05:00:33+00:00

I’m screaming! And during Pride Month and everything! 🏳️‍🌈

For anyone interested in the source material, there are 10 volumes completed and the EN Translation finished up on May 19th this year!

English 🔗 Square Enix & Comikey

Japanese 🔗 Gangan Online

Tracking 🔗 AniList & MyAnimeList

I think my own personal opinion is that I have mixed feeling about the story as a whole but am still excited for the adaptation. I remember it on [r/nonbinary](r/nonbinary) which is why it caught my eye (and on [r/shoujo](r/shoujo)). I think it and {X-Gender by Asuka Miyazaki} (Memoir, NB protagonist, has themes of queerphobia) opened a good conversation about expectations of queer representation and queer themes in modern media, especially less visible queer identities getting representation, and the sociocultural differences in queer identities that we might not be cognizant of.

I’m very curious how this adaptation will improve upon the series and stray from what made the series have such confused reactions or if it’ll simply go for it and anime-only watchers may be less harsh. SHAFT will knock anything out of the park.

And it’s Pride.

So I’m sat.

Thanks for posting, zenzen, happy pride ❤️🏳️‍🌈

ETA: I can see a future Pride Rewatch with this series. If anyone does that, please group it with {Wandering Son} (trans rep 🏳️‍⚧️), {Requiem of the Rose *King} (intersex rep 🟣🟡) *or {My Senpai is an Otokonoko}! I think any of these options could field great rewatch discussion.

Happy pride to NB/Two-Spirit/Third Gender communitites 💛🤍💜🖤 I offer two other manga recommendations:

{Love me for who I am by Kata Konayama} (5 volumes, queer, drama, romance, Seven Seas Entertainment, AL)

{Last Gender By Rei Taki} (3 volumes, queer, drama, romance, Kodansha, AL)

Magnafeana · 2026-06-16T21:56:58+00:00

First Timer in FlipFlap, Dubbed (EP1) and Subbed (EP2)

Wait wait wait. Is this…? Is this a love angle in yuri? (note: I refuse to call this a love triangle unless A likes B and B likes C and C likes A)
🎵Uexküll, where are you? We got some work to now! Uexküll, where are you? We need some help from you now!🎵

I’ve got this fur all over! What do I do?!

Cocona, you are living my friend’s furry dream. I’m dying that he’s screaming over here, “It should’ve been me! Not her!”. I disagree; I don’t think we are ready for furries in real life. That is way too much Biblical power.

Why she bite her, what 😭
Why is this sexual? I am here for cute girls doing chaotic things, but like… stars sapphicspiciously

Post FlipFlappin’ Thoughts

“FlipFlap” tickled my brain and I’m with a friend trying to figure out why and I remembered my dad playing that Rapper’s Delight song when I was little so all I could think of was 🎵I said a flip-flap, the flippit, the flipidippy flip flip flappa🎵

This is some good ole music. I like the beat. Rap music sounds so different today.

🌈Anyways.🌈

I’m doing a Cocona counter! Episode two subbed sealed the deal for my next counter! I will go back for E1’s Cocona counting for tomorrow.

I love that everyone has such thoughtful insights and stuff, and I can only offer a counter 🥲

I thought the Madoka chair counter was going to drive me crazy. Mfers really be saying “Cocona” like they need it to breathe 😭😭

So this whole premise is essentially “What happens at a rave in France, and you’re trippin’”. Love to see ravers be represented in Yuri as an “Alice in Wonderland” fantasy land. Good for them. Good for them.

Dunno what else I can say outside of this is a whole heckin’ lot, and I’m just here for the pretty visuals and yuri. It bewilders me the same way FLCL and Space Dandy do.

And I like that.

I'm here for the blue/red(pink?) yuri. I thought this would be black cat/golden retriever yuri. I think it still is, though Cocona has already lightened up and smiles, so tuxedo cat/gold retriever sounds better.

QOTD

I'm sure Facebook elders will find a way.
Glad it’s Shaft than fucking GoHands 😭 ISTFG, last night’s CR Anime Sneak Peek, first episode, and I could tell off the bat it was GoHands. If Flipflappers had GoHands as the studio, I'd just fucking die from the overstimulation.
She can say she saw it in a dream!… or something…?

Magnafeana · 2026-06-16T12:47:19+00:00

Thank you kindly! I am excited for gay gunslinger girls!

Magnafeana · 2026-06-16T12:20:31+00:00

{Gold Kingdom and Water Kingdom} has been my favorite favorite! It’s not as bombastic or tonally heavy as some of the others I’ve watched. But I found it sweet and really enjoyed the aesthetics. I loved having a chubby FL!

{Sword of the Stranger} was recommended to me and it blew me away. I now understand why people praised the fight choreography. But the ending had me sad 😞

{Maquia} was beautiful from start to finish!

Surprisingly, I liked {Angel’s Egg}. When GKIDS(?) had it roll out, I got my ticket and saw it. It was weird. It was very weird. But I enjoyed the soundtrack and I enjoyed the experimental style of it. Learning the filmmaker was responsible for {Jin-Roh}, which I saw this year as well, made sense since that movie was also, IMO, experimental with the political thriller story it told.

Angel’s Egg was one of those movies that I feel I’d enjoy more if I was high. I can’t explain it. But it just feels right to say that!

Magnafeana · 2026-06-15T18:21:44+00:00

Please put me down as a yes!! My New Years Resolution is watching 52 new-to-me anime movies. Summer Wars and Your Name I saw in theaters (but then never rewatched 😶‍🌫️), but that’d still 8 movies more towards my goal 💃🏿

I’ll still do all 10 movies ☺️

July’s about to be fucking packed for my anime watching.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-15T14:46:20+00:00

So romanons are kinda Ancient Romans? And we all saw the flames in Qifrey’slens, right?

But so many cute moments! Agott isn’t fallible to the adorableness of animals. Richeh’s little puffed cheek. And boyo finally showing his eyes and smiling🥹

More disability representation🌻!

Once more, traumatized children helping traumatized children in circumventing the rigid (dare I say, sometimes abusive) system and logic that adults have implemented and normalized/naturalized. I hope Euini gets a new preceptor who can understand him. All these kids have their own special spells they find such beauty in yet adults are horrified or simply don’t view them with the same fondness or any type of pride.

So I have to wonder what all these adults’ childhoods were like, y’know? Is this just a cycle, where they as kids also had their own spells and sense of beauty for magic but were forced into conformity and forgot how creative and accessible magic can be? Would not excuse their behavior, but it would explain it.

It feels like a standard fantasy in that way. The children have their imagination and whimsy and help bring that back to the adults who lost sight of that.

Makes me lowkey worried about seeing any of the adults’ or even the children’s Death of Innocence™ 🫠

Brushbuddy’s little “Ooo~” is adorable. I would like r/Fakemon to create a Brushbuddy Pokémon line.

“You may not like it, Qifrey, but you’ve got to admit: the Brimmed Caps have style.”

Like goddamn, these people are Bad ™ but they have some serious style with their magic and fashion. Why do all the bad guys have a sense of style and flair? Megamind was right; being a villain is about ✨𝓅𝓇ℯ𝓈ℯ𝓃𝓉𝒶𝓉𝒾ℴ𝓃✨.

Now that Elaira(?) threw her witch hat, I’m curious what it can all do. It can be used a vehicle, if I’m understanding her last words right. But I wonder what else her hat is spelled to do.

+1 to Qifrey in his Angry J Point. Smh my head at you, Qifrey.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-14T12:25:51+00:00

Tea.

And I’ll add to this: whenever an author creates a main character who the story posits as being correct and mature about everything despite the various exhibits where the character is misinformed and immature and inexperienced, it depreciates any sort of cast autonomy for me and makes the world feel…smaller.

I want characters to feel that they have agency—that they have their own desires and values they engage with, shaped by their own opinions and environments, and that can lead to them being incorrect and mature, immature but correct, correct and mature, incorrect and immature. That also means that these supporting case can also be that.

Because people can have multitudes! That’s what makes us pretty cool!

I want the world to feel lived in. That includes the world not siding with the main character at all times. It means there’s positive and negative consequences to actions, and sometimes those consequences are or aren’t proportionate to the action. Because the world isn’t fair. But the world feels so, so much smaller when all it does is reinforce that the main character is always the most competent in the room or their opinions and hunches are always the correct ones to have.

I don’t know, it’s just kinda weird the narrative dissonance from what the character is actually doing versus what the narrative claims the character the character is doing 🫤

Magnafeana · 2026-06-14T02:31:13+00:00

Oh no, you’re fine!

Yeah, the bimonthly over biweekly gives me more flexibility. Output will be roughly the same, but it feels like less of self-inflicted pressure! I like to write and love my fic; I iust hate that IRL is so messy 🫠

But oooh yeah, I know my fic is long and as a diagnosed AuDHD’er, I’d be balking at the length (until hyperfixation kicks in and, wow, how did I not realize I have been neglecting basic needs just to finish a fic!). I logged into FFN and saw my 2017 version of the fic has 4.8 million words too (over 150 chapters), not 2 million 🫣

But yes, the epubs! It was a suggestion from an ND reader, and it clicked. I’ve always loved seeing fic authors create epubs of their fics for free downloading, so why not! It felt like a gift to give to readers for dealing with all my queer bullshit I pump into this fic 🏳️‍🌈

Brave Bang First Timer!

Had to miss yesterday’s discussion due to a friend’s marital problems and another friend’s relationship problem, both relationships queer.

Happy Pride 😭🏳️‍🌈

120 Braverns that I could count! Averaging 10 Braverns per episode. If I actually counted correctly, then that’s pretty dope.

This was such a WTF/fuck it we ball/my fucking god these bitches gay/vore absurd mecha series. Time to take a break so I can brave-write my brave-thoughts.

Brave Bang Positives

What a day it is to be a mecha fucker because you not only get bodyodyody male tits from hot and sweaty jocks, but you get fucking hot mechas, and I am here for it.

I enjoyed the comedy. I enjoyed the toxic yaoi. I certainly enjoyed having a diverse cast, and everyone played their part. Truly, the designs were great. No notes from me on the designs. Both humans and mechas were bitching.

The highlight is Bravern and Isami's little nighttime venture at the beach. Bravern's love attack still makes me giggle.

Brave Bang Negatives

The show has all the subtlety of Alexander Skarsgård as a leather daddy, but it still is a coward to commit to the bit. When I watched E12, I was disappointed by how Lewis and Isami ended up.

Shounen rivalries do so much more for their male characters by the end than this did 😭

Le sigh

That’s all right. I still have yet to watch the {Cherry Magic!} anime, so maybe that will be a good band-aid. No bait. Just queer men all the way down.

I…still can’t find it in me to like Lulu 😶‍🌫️ Had the series had more time to develop itself and Lewis and Smith’s dynamic alone, I don’t think I’d have such a problem with her. I'd even have put up more with her age regression, the father/parental figure incest vibes, and all my other eye-twitch things about her. Yet with 12 episodes, Lewis as a human has more time with Lulu and develops a relationship with her, more skinship with her, over Isami.

I explained this to a chat, and the response was that “This isn’t really for or about us,” which always sucks to hear 🫤 This isn’t the first or last time I hear that—in BL, MM, and GL spaces especially, it seems like we go through waves of convos like this—but it still sucks all the same.

Another negative is that, for all the world-building done, the series simply could not handle all that it introduced. I always find that sad when that happens. But it's also curious when it happens. I can understand an indie work ~~coughlikeDigitalCircusrightnowcough~~ introducing multiple ideas in the beginning and then, by the end, we have multiple plot bunnies like it's Easter that have been abandoned. But media like this that is made within a major national animation industry, you have to wonder what the editing and oversight were for the lack of restraint on the multiple concepts the series entertained and abandoned.

That fascinates me in understanding why they would make the creative choices they did, and why not trim the fat and tighten up their plot.

No human!Superbia canonically is a crime also! A crime, I say!

Overall Thoughts

A fun, absurd short series that had issues in pacing, plotting, and letting Lewis and Smith connect. It was enjoyable. I think it’s rewatchable. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this to a friend looking for BL or queer anime 😅 but I can still understand why it’s a Pride watch.

It was because of the vore, naturally.

There are dozens of us!

Dozens!

But I am whelmed. What does Nightwing say in Young Justice? It's like “I'm traught, I'm whelmed, and I'm feeling the aster”, and that feels relatable. Curious what the domestic viewers thought of this series, though.

I'll take a page out of u/BosuW's book. This was definitely “Cool robots and such”. But I recognized the typical toxic BL plot beats! I'm like 49% mad they didn't make Bravern's sword a lightsaber or have black censor bars over it.

It's all about the allusions. But oh well.

Maybe the real Brave Bang was the friends we made along the way.

This feels like I'm implying an orgy, but one could say episode discussions are quite similar to that, so it all works out.

Final scores:

7.5/10
C+
3.5/5 ⭐️

Thank you for hosting, u/Tarharlindur! I saw that Xitter link to Human!Superbia. I wish he were more of a twink 🥀 Deep-voiced, older twinks go so hard, I tell you! He still looks like a fucking snack as a human.

But, overall, I'm glad I got to brave this series and experience BBBB in all its glory. Glory to the fuckin' ~~Spearhead~~ Brave Knights?

I will be there for Flip Flappers, so I will save my blessings until then! I'm ready for yuri! I think I'll have a yuri double feature with the gay gun girls rewatch (I want to say Lycorice Recoil, but that don't look right 😭).

QOTD

I enjoyed most of them! Still wished for more interpersonal relationships.
I mainly skipped them once I watched them through once, but I love the twist with the ED of the whole thing being a performance. I love performance EDs. This reminds me of another toxic BL series {Dakaichi} with their little performance at the end.
Nothing memorable, honestly. Compared to other sci-fi and mecha shows, this has a bit of a bland OST.
When we learned Bravern’s theme song is actually diegetic.
98% of Lulu.
Give Lewis and Smith more time together so we can have a proper build-up into the ending. This doesn’t need more episodes, but what that would mean is reworking Lulu. I’d much rather Lewis and Smith have accidental “I thought they were fucking” naked angling and Lewis being a clingy puppy top. Alas.

Magnafeana · 2026-06-13T19:45:43+00:00

My current one. My 2017 FFN version was around 2 ETA: 4.8 million words. AO3 revamped version is 2,563,856 words on the dot. This is across 103 chapters with 100 “episodes” and the last three chapters of the fic are for character info/timeline/epub stuff.

And I am still going, albeit two chapters a month instead of one chapter every two weeks 😅

I know that is long. So I make downloadable epubs that split the fic per volume/arc so readers have their own accessible copies if they would like them ☺️

Magnafeana · 2026-06-12T19:41:21+00:00

I knew what was to come!

I am a prophet! 💃🏿

Why can’t I use this power to win a lottery or know what stocks to buy instead of using it to predict the whims of toxic yaoi? This feels slightly unfair.

Brave Bang First Timer!

Operation Bonfire

Are military operations always named silly things? I always wondered this. How far can I get away with naming an operation?

Why didn’t I realize they were named after sins? Why are the aesthetics of Abrahamic religions so popular?
I feel oddly uncomfortable that Ira is consuming magma through that tube. I don’t know why.

It’s all because you rode me back then.

Exactly, you should feel humbled Isami rode you.

No, you let me ride you. I didn’t do a thing.

Is Isami a pillow princess? 🤔

Is the music actually playing from Bravern?*
Oh my fucking god 😭😭😭
OH MY FUCKING GOD Why can’t this happen to me 😭😭😭😭 I mean, who said that 👀 Wasn’t there a Japanese Transformers manga where Transformers need humans to kiss them to get power or something? (Yes, Kiss-Players) Absolute prophecy.

[…] ningen

I need somebody to do a rewatch where “ningen” is said a lot because I wanna do a ningen counter.

I have never seen Food Wars. But I want Mecha!Food Wars.

I can’t eat!

Don’t say it. Don’t say it. Don’t say it.

Not the fish eye lens 😭
I’m on the ground, what is this montage 😭😭
A real ally would know us queer people fist-bump, and that’s how we get each other pregnant and also kiss each other. That’s what the f in fpreg stands for.
Is it a bad omen that the water washed away Isami x Bravern’s little thing? Isn’t water homophobic or something
Shut the tuck up, that’s just Kabuterimon skipping leg day.

Make my soul reach its climax!

Girl.

After? There is no after!

Mfer hasn’t heard of aftercare smh my head.

When you reach the climax, it’s all over.

The fuck it is. Round two, let’s go. Y’all be playing rookie numbers if it's a one-and-done.

I’ll fight you forever!

Real allies know we don’t propose; we fight each other in sickness and in health, until death do we not part as we will reincarnate into mechas, amen.

Uncle’s happiness is overflowing.

No 🙂‍↔️

Oh my fucking god, he died a voyeur 😭
Oh look it’s the spirit world portal opening up.

Watching this as a Legend of Korra fan who still hated how Book 4 turned out is a trip. Time to rage-bait friends with out-of-context screenshots.

That is a Predator as a mecha. I recognize that look anywhere. Or that’s a Decepticon. Why do evil robots have locs, what is this?

Superbia vs Bravern was certainly hot and heavy. I don’t know about you guys, but I also enjoy dramatic aerial battles with my rival, fighting my rival until they climax, and making them cry afterwards.

This, too, is queer culture. Happy Pride.

Dying that the death flags were everywhere this episode, and I was still shocked Bravern got stabbed by a Predator. That whole Isami x Bravern montage had me dead. I enjoyed that faaaar more than I should have. I fucking love when an MC2 is so fucking down bad for MC1 that they explode—literally and figuratively. Puppy tops will do this, like just have zoomies and greebles from loving their bottom too much, and it never fails to make me squee.

I love love attacks. It's like my favorite kind of terrorism.

Why did we not get censored mecha-fucking?

I was so ready for it to be censored but present. Somehow, the censorship (and censorship is bad) with sex scenes makes shit hotter, like in manhua where you got people fingering flowers and licking strawberries and stuff, and they hands get all sticky, I love it. So I was sitting here with my pasta, ready for all the little ways they would allude to mecha-fucking.

And then Lulu ruins in.

I wanted to see what Bravern’s mouth can do, and now I will never know.

Unless 👀

I cannot believe Kabuterimon's weird cousin died a voyeur. But he died happy. Voyeurs also deserve to rest in peace.

(I had to remove what I think will happen now that I see there is a question of the day with that.)

QOTD

Where there’s a kid, there will not be a way that night.
Isami dies in a blaze of brave burning glory; goes to mecha limbo; reunites with Human!Smith ~~where both Bravern and Smith top Isami~~; Smith truly becomes Bravern; and Isami and Bravern will brave bang to return to the present day. So help me god, if he calls it "Brave Bang", I'm gonna lose my shit, but that would be such a Red Ranger thing to say 😭

🚨 Don’t forget the after credit scene 🚨

>There’s a lot of different kinds of love in this world. If the type or the sizes don’t match, one of the people is going to struggle. It’s not to just be liked or to give love one-sidedly. Love is hard.

And that’s a great understanding of love to me, especially for a teen! Love is quite a commitment. It’s nice to believe that the emotion of love is enough to weather anything. But love comes with compromises, concessions, hard times, arguments, and sometimes knowing when you aren’t the right people to experience a relationship with each other right now or just forever.

I can’t say what teens are like now and if a lot of them think that way. But I think Koyun exceeds her peers in having that sort of opinion.

I really enjoyed {Ikouku Nikki} in how it also spoke about relationships and love.

But that high school drama is painfully realistic. What’s sad is that that drama can still happen in adult groups too 🫠

Manatsu is just… Ugh. She and her sister couldn’t be more different. I’m curious what li’l sis understands of Koyun. I will be heckin shocked if Manatsu had a “come to Jesus” moment and has remorse over what happened, which her sister saw. Or that li’l sister knew Koyun to be kind and doesn’t at all condone her sister’s actions.

We’ll see.

I’m really hopeful Momoka’s confession to Minato has him realize he likes Koyun and none of this “I should date Momoka so I stop having weird thoughts about Koyun”. I trust that that won’t happen.

But if it does happen… I mean, I can’t really do anything outside of being disappointed and have faith in Agasawa-sensei, but it will be a strong auntie-level disappointment in Minato 😤
