This was fun I am enjoying this show

It's so soft

I love you so dearly. If this is where Horizons ended I'd be happy, because it was a really good one and offered everything I wanted to see. In particular remembering that Liko is the main character and capstoning her journey in a powerful yet earnestly sweet way. It was all worth it for this.

I'm being edged with the prospect of something happening in the present day. Surely there's only so many flashbacks you can show, like I really do get it at this point. Yeah they still do fun enough things I like seeing delinquent Sakura living it rough as she looks for Hinagiku but I don't like it as much as I'd like if the now were to be interesting, you know? I don't want to be completely plot brained and deny the merit of things just because they don't "advance the narrative" or whatever but how many episodes in a row is this of just "it was tough when Hinagiku and Sakura were apart but they're together now and love each other", I'm just getting bored of it. They put a lot of specific words to their relationship this episode, that was nice. They also set up where Hinagiku's feelings will progress and what could happen to Sakura to turn her straight again, that maybe a bit less so. It sucks that this has lost me as much as it did because the first episode really was incredible and was an easy anime of the season if not year frontunner but it's been completely mogged at this point by a number of other things. Shame, but it is what it is.

It took a while to settle but this is the wallpaper situation now with the dual monitor setup and I am very happy with it

I like that Todoroki is into making bowls and chopsticks now that's such a random piece of characterisation to develop for him in the very end while everyone else kinda has no new traits or interesting things really happening to them beyond just being older and more put together. Otherwise though this was like, fine. It's kinda weird that they take a second to acknowledge that the Hero ranking system has changed a lot and isn't "the be-all end-all it used to be" while also making sure you know exactly where everyone is ranked anyway. Oh well. They announced a new short about Eri to be animated as well so I still don't get to call Deku over yet because they HATE me and want to make infinite fucking Deku until the end of time.
