Another thing that I can’t really get behind in season 3 (aside from the things I’ve already said I disagree with) is how the end rescue from Tantiss actually works out.
Hunter, Crosshair, and Wrecker end up causing more problems than anything else. Everyone else was on their way out when they had to go back to recuse those three and my major issue with this stems from a few things.
1) it made their role in the finale feel… kind of pointless. If they hadn’t gone back for them the stand off on the bridge wouldn’t have happened and Echo, the rest of the clones, and Omega would’ve gotten out without all the extra bloodshed. You could say that ‘Hemlock wouldn’t have died then’ but eh I’m still not really convinced about that. Tarkin still would’ve shown up and probably taken away the funding and imprisoned or killed Hemlock. So. Idk. I certainly wanted them all in the finale but these three didn’t really do much other than get themselves captured and have to have a stand off on a bridge. (Quick side note that the shot of Crosshair and Hunter on the bridge is one of my favorite shots in the entire show and while I wish Wrecker had a bigger role in the show overall and the finale I do love when him and Echo get to team up. Just putting that out there.)
2) Hunter, Wrecker, and Crosshair never actually complete the arc that they have to not only go back to Tantiss just for Omega but for all of the clones. Sure, Hunter mentions rescuing the clones once somewhere in the last few episodes but it never actually feels like a completed arc where the batch learns to stop separating themselves from the ‘regs’. Actually, the clones imprisoned and tortured and experimented on save the batch and many of them die in the process. This doesn’t actually feel satisfying to me. It makes ‘The Calvary Has Arrived’ fall a little flat. The clones, who we already know are loyal and brave and willing to fight for each other, do just that! They do one of the things I love them for and I think it’s always commendable when it happens. But. I really think the batch’s overall arc and growth would’ve hit more effectively if they’d actually went in to save the clones and succeeded in freeing them instead of essentially mentioning caring about the other clones once and then needing to be saved by them.
I think it still could’ve worked if Wrecker, Crosshair, and Hunter were captured and the rest of the group came to rescue them! But only after those three stuck it out and truly cared about rescuing the other clones. That would’ve hit so. Hard. The mutual aid and rescue of each other to solidify that they are now all part of the same team, same community, and repair what was broken through this action. Without the action coming from the three people who have never showed loyalty to other clones it just kind of feels…. Fine? I guess?
Echo still ends up being the one to truly care about the fate of the clones and the batch still ends up really only focusing on each other. There’s no growth in this area other than a single line and that’s just not really enough in my book.

I really really just want GO S3 to overlay Queen's "I Want To Break Free" song in a kickass montage of cut scenes back n' forth between Aziraphale f*ckin' up Heaven to try and get back to Crowley intermixed with Crowley sadly moping around Earth without his Angel until they're finally happily reunited by the end of the first episode.
I'm not asking for much.... D:
[Verse 1]
I want to break free
I want to break free
I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied, I don't need you
I've got to break free
God knows, God knows I want to break free
[Verse 2]
I've fallen in love
I've fallen in love for the first time
And this time I know it's for real
I've fallen in love, yeah
God knows, God knows I've fallen in love
[Bridge]
It's strange but it's true, yeah
I can't get over the way you love me like you do
But I have to be sure
When I walk out that door
Oh, how I want to be free, baby
Oh, how I want to be free
Oh, how I want to break free
[Verse 3]
But life still goes on
I can't get used to living without, living without
Living without you by my side
I don't want to live alone, hey
God knows, got to make it on my own
So baby, can't you see?
I've got to break free

VIZ Media just put a bunch of official, complete anime on YouTube for free
Exactly what it says on the tin. Here's the link to the official article from Viz. There are ads* ofc but to be able to watch these for free in HD is a pretty big deal.
Note that they are all Japanese dub, English sub.
(The subtitles are not YouTube captions but part of the video itself, for whomever it may concern)
Here's the current list w/ links to the official playlists:
Death Note (All 37 episodes)
Hunter x Hunter (Seasons 1-3, 148 episodes)
Inuyasha (COMPLETE SERIES W/ ALL THE MOVIES)
Mr. Osomatsu (Seasons 1 & 2, 50 episodes)
Naruto (Seasons 1-8, 220 episodes)
Sailor Moon (COMPLETE SERIES)
Handful of other movies, 4 of them are Inuyasha that's already been stated above but includes TIGER & BUNNY, K Missing Kings, Accel World, etc.
I hope this helps someone who's been wanting to watch one these shows! I know most people don't get news from Viz so I didn't want this to just go quietly under the radar because this is actually p nice to have in a world where you either have to pay for or pirate everything. I really hope they add more titles in the future!
*Also, they say ads but I use Firefox w/ uBlock and all the other anti-capitalist goodies and I've watched the first SM episode and gotten no ads so this may actually be an avoidable thing for a lot of us so like,,, go watch some free anime luv lmao
EDIT: I have been informed that this is not available in counties outside of America. Which isn't surprising but is disappointing. If someone w/ a VPN wants to let me know if they can work around this lmk and I'll update here.
EDIT 2: Quote from an Anon:
"Windscribe VPN on my phone worked for watching Viz media's anime uploads! I'm sure there's better and less limited free options but that's the one I found with a quick search to try it out. Haven't tried it on a laptop though so can't comment on it's viability there."
Tysm for letting me know Anon!!
EDIT 3: Via @eunbinppap
#one of protonvpn's free options is the us
