What I find interesting about this episode is that when Yuki was talking to Akito in the bathroom and she asked him if Kyo hated Tohru; he looked left when he answered. Fun fact: that’s a common sign of a lie. Then he said “That can’t possibly be true.” Therefore, it could be reasonable to incline that the animators made him look left on purpose.

To be honest I couldn’t take it seriously at all of Hanazawa’s clothes...disappeared. I tried, and I got the point. But the entire time I just wanted to man to get some pants.

One of my take aways was this:

Mob: “Sorry about your clothes” *leaves to do squats*

I’m sure this is wildly agreed upon but wow, I feel so bad for Herb Kazazz. The entire scandal as to why he got fired it’s heart breaking. It’s over dramatized, sure, but part of its true. When people find out celebrities are queer sometimes they face unbearable hate for it. It’s just as the protest signs said, audiences feel it’s “inappropriate.”

Anyways, it breaks my heart. I think one of the main themes of Bojack Horseman is how terrible the media can be. Herbs story is one example of the blatant homophobia in media, thus contributing to that theme. Some themes may be over dramatic but the point is it happens. Even if you don’t want to admit it, it happens in media. All of it. Sexual abuse of minors, homophobia, faking illnesses (sad dog), chronic substance abuse, etc. It actually happens, which to me, is the saddest part. Herbs story shows the homophobia side of that story.

In the end, I don’t blame Herb for what he said to Bojack. It’s reasonable in my eyes. No one has to forgive anyone. That applies to media and real life. Herbs life was ruined and he stayed positive for so many years and was still there for the Horsin’ around cast. He cared for everyone, but no one cared for him. He has the right to be bitter.

*spoilers obviously*

Me, in tears: is it a cat?

The cat: Meow!

I was just in sobs the whole time.

I’m so proud of all of them. Especially Tanaka.

So the whole episode revolves around people Bojack lost through out the show in form of a dream. Every moment was in fact, in Bojacks mind. It was his death dream, if you will.

Within this is the infamous and beautiful poem conducted by Secritariat. Which revolves around suicide but above all, regret.

Secritariat expresses his regret for jumping and how he whishes for safety. But as we know, this is all within Bojacks mind.

We know Secritariat was a huge inspiration and idol for Bojack as a child and even into his adulthood. Eventually lost to suicide, this ‘death dream’ may be showing what Bojack hopes Secretariat felt.

It’s clear Bojack wants to take his life. However, maybe, this fantasy he had created where his idol regretted his own suicide very well might have been motivation for him to keep living, even if he didn’t want to. Because if his idol regretted it, he would too, right?

I started watching Mp100 and the “explosion” progress thing freaked me out because I thought mob would fucking die when it happened.

Literally in like episode two it happened then he was back to regular old Mob next episode
