Jellyfish finished! Last episode here was like, decent. We got our moment of Kano nearly bombing again only to be brought back to confidence by the fans and also Mahiru, like sure that was good. Performance was solid but fuckin entirely full disclosure Girls Band Cry episode 11's performance rocked my world so much that this felt wayyyyy weaker just by virtue of having watched that just a couple days beforehand, so I didn't feel very impressed at all lol. Kano and Mahiru make up, it's quite a nice scene, ideally they would've then made out but I suppose that kiss from however long ago just happened for the hell of it. Couple loose ends wrap up, our characters are certainly in a better position, things are neat. The best scene of the episode and one of the strongest in the show comes in a mostly vertical video phone recording of the gang painting over the main Jellyfish mural that started the entire show, a very clear rebirth for the lot of them. I liked this bit a lot, like a lot a lot. Fresh start, the characters are all close enough friends to just vibe, per Mahiru's narration it's not even so much about the numbers anymore it's just they enjoy spending time together and want to keep doing so which is really nice, shit's just good.
As for Jellyfish as a whole, I mean like, I think you can probably make out the progression of my opinion just through all my posts so far. It's definitely good, like I clearly had enough fun to where my score here is positive. But for how much I was anticipating it and how special the first episode felt, over the course of its runtime I think it started losing me on a lot of things. There are lots of random side-tangents that don't amount to anything, conflicts that feel both rushed and not sufficiently resolved at the same time, I don't want to see the entire discussion of the show turn into "muh duh yuri bait" or whatever bullshit but also that kiss that never meaningfully amounting to anything further was odd, and just in general the show could've went further in a lot of ways, really. I was never really impressed past the first episode and a couple straggler scenes later on, instead it was just going through the motions. I could probably even make some drawn-out metaphor about the show itself drifting aimlessly like a jellyfish in the sea, like woah ain't that ironic, but yeah nah I hope I've communicated my feelings well enough. That can be all I think, end post.

Imagining Shigaraki’s ghost trying to teach Deku how to be more assertive.
Bakugo, lightly ragging on Deku.
Shigaraki: “Call him a cuck.”
Deku: “No. 😃”
—
Someone cuts Deku in line.
Shigaraki: “You’re just going to let them do that?”
Deku: “Yeah, it’s not a big deal.”
Shigaraki: “Okay… are you sure you were born quirkless? Because I think your original quirk was ‘doormat’ since YOU LET EVERYONE WALK ALL OVER YOU—“
Deku: “I’M SORRY???”
—
Deku, playing a PvP game with shitty team mates.
Shigaraki: “ARE THEY PLAYING THE GAME BLINDFOLDED?!?!? TELL THEM TO WALK INTO TRAFFIC!!!”
Deku: “We’ll do better next time!”
Shigaraki, screaming.

couldn't get it past your lips, could you? (aka the moment in the scene I knew pok was lying)
[ID: First image: a black and white digital drawing of pok gukgak sitting tied to a chair and bleeding from several wounds. we see him from the back. in front of him are two goblinoid but large demons saying, is there nothing you miss? do you regret dying? do you regret not seeing the life of your son? Second image: a sepia picture of a tiny riz sitting on pok's lap as seen from pok's perspective. pok is gently caressing riz's soft cheek with the back of his index finger. with his other hand, this one with a wedding ring on it, he's holding a big picture book that depicts a dog sherlock holmes. riz is grinning and excitedly pointing at the drawing with one hand while his other holds his dad's wrist to get his attention. outside the memory, pok is saying, i don't- i don't miss- and the words cut off. Third image: the drawing is again black and white. pok is back in the reality of being tied to a chair. he's staring forward with a blank expression, face battered, and saying, i don't know what to tell you. there are tears in the corners of his eyes. End ID]
