Winter 2021. Get your Winter 2021 review thread here. As usual, I hate rating things out of 10, so we're using this instead docs.google.com/document/d/1hsaEOm4qLu25Tikv-_7uZuoYgv0VKN-vp0mvxLaB3Xw/edit?usp=sharing

So this season of Re:Zero, back from coronacation, finishes the sanctuary arc, which thank God what a drag. It's no secret that I greatly dislike Re:Zero but the truth in in isolation this was probably one of the better parts of Re:Zero. I didn't hate... most of it
-
I was told Emilia gets an "arc", so I should hold off my criticisms of her character until this moment. Well, what Emilia gets here isn't really an arc in the way I would have wanted, but backstory. Actually season 2 as a whole is mostly backstory. Some of it was even cool
-
What I really wanted was Emilia to have access to the information necessary to have agency. I wanted her to make decisions. At the end she makes *a* decision to protect the villagers from the Great Rabbit, but she's still not fully aware of what people are doing around her
-
I can imagine a version of Re:Zero that uses the season finale to really make me believe Emilia has the leadership skills to be a political leader. And you know maybe that's what happens in the books. But from my POV it took 50 hours for female lead to do one (1) thing

Not a lot to say about Jujutsu Kaisen, other than that it's good. It's about a school for sorcerers in Japan who exorcise curses. We meet three students, Yuuji, Megumin, and Nobara, It looks amazing, the characters are strong. There's emotion. There's action. There's comedy
-
The fall half of this show stumbled a bit, especially around its female characters. But as soon as we get Nobara back in the winter half it takes off and doesn't stop.
-
Best part about Jujutsu Kaisen is that I think it really works as an introduction to anime, which is something I look out for too. JJK good. Watch

*sigh*

there's a couple of typos here, sorry. I'm in a hurry and hungry "beaming suicide thoughts into the mind of every 14yo girl in Japan" -> beaming suicidal thoughts into the minds of every 14yo girl in Japan "sometimes by thread of death" -> sometimes by threat of death
