“Could you hold on a minute before you continue?”CONTENT WARNING: Spoilers for Clevatess Season 2 Episode 2, and content that may be triggering to some audiences. Unfortunately, I am not confident myself in how to label it, though I can confirm it does involve blood. If you don’t feel comfortable engaging with potentially triggering content, please don’t proceed with this writeup. I had delayed…

Okay, just to make it clear, in my previous post about this show, when I said “Asher”, I was referring to Jeffery, or as I shall refer to him in the remainder of my posts, Jeff, mainly because I was struggling to remember if we learned his name last episode at all, so I just went with whatever name I could see get used for him, and since I saw the last name first, that’s what I used. Just figured…

It’s hard to think of a good pre-writeup thing for this when I’m spending my time listening to the most recent opening theme of another show that I watch that releases on Saturdays. But hey, what can I say? I really love that show and the song, and that love’s fire. Anyway, time to actually start this. The episode starts with a recap of part of the first episode, detailing how the egg that…

“Could you hold on a minute before you continue?”CONTENT WARNING: Unmarked spoilers for the episode that I feel like would ruin the suspense of the episode if you read it before watching the episode. Keep reading with this in mind. And, here we are. The episode of this “which suspect is Cure Eclair?” arc that doesn’t really feel like it needs to exist because we already had Episode 14 prove that…

This is the first show that I’ve covered on this site where I actually get to cover a continuation to the story! Yay! And before people point it out, yes, I know this season is officially known as Clevatess II, but just to keep formatting consistent across my posts, as I suspect that I won’t be needing to use any custom name when the second season of another show that I’ve watched that has…

After an underwhelming announcement for something not anime related that I was following, I was hoping for something, anything, to make my Tuesday better. Remembering that Tuesdays are also the days that episodes of Victoria of Many Faces simulcast, and that the Tuesday I’m talking about was the debut of the series, I had the feeling that this was going to be the thing I was looking for. Proud…

If you’re someone who doesn’t follow my main socials of Tumblr and Bluesky, you may be wondering why I’m pairing these two episodes together. Considering that my previous Saturday involved me juggling three different simulcasts, two of which I did writeups for, I figured that the most justifiable thing for me to do without overworking myself was just delay my watching of Episode 1 by a week and…

Where do I even begin? There’s just so much in this episode that I could talk about, it’s kind of infuriating. After all, what if I pick the wrong thing and get all of you upset? Maybe I’ll just start with what will likely go well the best: the usual for the Cure Eclair arc. Cure Eclair Suspect That Gets Focus In This Episode: Kurea

This will mean that on the 4th of July, I'll watch Episode 1, pause to write that part of the writeup, then watch Episode 2 and write that part of the writeup, with it scheduled to go up at 5:30 PM on July 5th [PDT].This should be the only time I need to group simulcast writeups together.

If it weren’t for the fact that I already learned a specific piece of news prior to watching this episode (or that piece of news not being present in the Netflix broadcast of the episode, which thankfully that news was present), this post probably would’ve involved a lot of me whining. Think closer to my post about the final episode of Wash It All Away. First, let’s cover the episode…

“Could you hold on a minute before you continue?”SPOILER WARNING: It is impossible for me to reasonably talk about this episode without getting into spoiler territory, specifically regarding the resolution of the case. Please watch this episode before reading this writeup, unless you’re comfortable getting spoiled. Sorry for that, but I literally don’t think I can talk about a specific part…

Okay, before we begin, I do need to bring up a detail from the previous episode that I completely skipped over in my writeup for it. I’m sorry, but so much happened last episode that something was bound to slip through the cracks, though I’m surprised it was something as important as this. Eri knows that Ogami temporarily regained his adult form and is trying to figure out what happened. Again,…

Yeah, for all of the episodes in this Cure Eclair arc, unless Toei decides to break trend and give us the same episode preview as the Japanese socials get but with English subtitles, literally the only reason I’ll be able to know the names of the episodes is by how they’re subtitled on Crunchyroll when they come out unless Crunchyroll actually gets data in for the episode in on time so that I’m…

Another anime season, another Sara Talks Anime plans post. Just like with my Spring 2026 anime season post, I’ll won’t be getting into on/off site updates so that I don’t say I’ll do one thing and just not do it. I will, however, get into territory that’d be more of a ramble after listing what shows I’m watching. Additionally, the Summer 2026 anime season marks one year since I began doing full…

After this post goes live, I shouldn’t have to write Always a Catch! on my blog for quite a while. This is either a blessing or a curse, and I’ll let you decide which one it is once you’re done reading this post. Anyway, like I suspected, this episode had a focus on the aftermath of the ending of the previous episode for part of its runtime, with the rest of it being dedicated to the ball!…

“Could you hold on a minute before you continue?”CONTENT WARNING: This write up includes descriptions of attempted suicide. (One character gets in position to attempt to kill themself, but another character manages to stop them before they can follow through.)This is a friendly reminder that you are loved. Experimenting with how I do my content warning notices to have them take up less room and…
