No direct confession but that “if you think I’d look good in one, why don’t we get a closer look” followed by Botan grabbing Hyoma hand was cute as hell. Wasn’t expecting her to be that bold. But with someone as dense as Hyoma she had to 😂

I need season 3 NOW. They ended this right as things really got going with the story. Hyoma new door pull power looked sick, being able to damage Tenjinku was impressive. When Kai and the others showed up as backup they quickly dipped lol. Didn’t want problems with the entire city. Even the umbrellas aren’t that strong.

Botan waiting by Hyoma side the whole time he was unconscious in hospital was so sweet. Their relationship has been the best part of this season. Taken massive strides forward together.

Holy shit Kushige talked! Really cool hearing his voice for the first time.

Seems like in addition to the Warazamawashi stuff, there’s also going to be drama between the 3 great houses in the future. The Yamichata couldn’t have been blind to what the bureau of traditional music were planning. If they are working with the umbrellas, what’s their endgame?

A lot of steps forward in this season. I think the story and character stuff was way better in this one. Action scenes and animation still meh, but I mean who cares when the story is this good. I think the pacing during the final fight was a little drawn out and I would’ve liked to have got thru a couple episodes faster, but overall I’m pleased with the end result here.

This was my favourite Monday seasonal and I’m going to miss it. Looking at the scoring for each episode it seems like I’m not alone in that department either so hopefully we get a renewal confirmation 🤞

Malevolent Spirits, nightmare

“Be careful, Botan-chan!”

She beams, scurrying towards the prep table. “I will.”

This is kind of fun! She’d never had a part-time job before. In high school, when her classmates hurried off after the last bell, leaving the cleaning to her, she’d felt… envious. Like she was missing out.

“I’ve got this.” Pushing back her sleeves, Botan leverages the pot of rice off the counter, but gravity takes hold and it is suddenly much heavier. With a crash that has every saenome in the cafeteria half out of their chairs, talismans at the ready, Botan grimaces,

“I didn’t have it…”

Nooo why do these episodes always end right as they get good?? Where to start, lot to talk about.

Kushige is back! I knew he wasn’t dead. A few episodes ago when one of the Tsukumogami ambushed the Bridal Trousseau on the freeway, someone said that Kushige was killed, but earlier on they’d said he was incapacitated. So good to see him back in the fight. Really turned the tide of battle when their anchor came back.

Don’t really feel bad for the bureau of traditional music at all. I still don’t understand why they betrayed Hyoma and everyone. Just seems like a dumb move to make. They lost their friend unnecessarily and now their lives. RIP bozos

The Hyoma fight was tough to watch, he was really getting his ass beat there for a while. Blinded by his anger and the umbrella’s provocations he just forgot his entire purpose of fighting. Which is understandable tbh, I think anyone would be blind with rage and confusion if their brother’s face was in front of them like that.

Haori calling Hyoma her son in law was a really nice moment. Gave him the strength he needed to start moving forward and fight for a new reason, to protect.

Hyoma finally has his own weapons and has fully transitioned from fighting for revenge to fighting to protect the girl he cares about. In true animanga fashion I expect a pretty big power increase next episode. Last one too, I hope we get another season.
