Blue Exorcist just finished its best season yet and I’m in tears!

From start to finish that arc was amazing!!!

Hoping for a season 6 soon!

On The Rise A&V @ontheriseav.bsky.social · Mar 24

At the end of the day Zenshu is a story about how the media we watch is reflection of ourselves and it was absolutely brilliant!

Thank you to the teams that worked on this!

I’m an episode behind because I’m watching on Netflix, but why didn’t y’all tell me the anime OUT DID THEMSELVES with this episode

One of the most important moments in Blue Box, setting up the future of this story, and they did not disappoint!

Honestly I think Honey Lemon Soda as whole has some pacing issues

But the creative direction of this entire episode was so damn good I don’t really care!

The best episode yet!

On The Rise A&V @ontheriseav.bsky.social · Mar 20

Was going to record this week and get a head start on the next video but I’m sick af 🙃 and feel like crap.

So I’ll be recording Monday (hopefully)

Maybe I’ll use this time to get write more scripts…

On The Rise A&V @ontheriseav.bsky.social · Mar 17

Madhouse does it again.

Orb has to be the most thought provoking anime in recent memory.

If a psychological ted talk was an anime then this would be it.

From start to finish this show was journey I won’t soon forget.

Might have to do a video🤔

On The Rise A&V @ontheriseav.bsky.social · Mar 17
