Thank you, Ave Mujica, for filling my Thursday each week with a mind-breaking psychological trauma for the past 3 months. I have never experienced the same excitement and on edge each week the same way Ave Mujica has given me. I also love reading the community reaction. Watching the community breaking down was part of the experience of Ave Mujica. Fans who come after will miss half of the fun. Thank you for closing it with an amazing performance-heavy episode. MyGO with their poem in the interim and Ave Mujica with their stage play. What a way to end the series. (Umiri still brings her trustworthiness to the stage 😭) Nevermind, they announced a sequel for AveMyGO!!!! Trauma is back on the menu! @[email protected] [image: bd0e2cc0-48f0-4b2b-a558-74d641cacdf6.webp]

That looks very wholesome. Can't wait

My reaction to the episode has mellowed a bit after watching others' reactions and re-watching it several times. My only gripe for the episode was how last week's emotional build-up was thrown away in the first 5 minutes. I was expecting a more climactic reunion, where everyone throws their problem at each other. Sakiko's moving on from Mutsumi's desire also felt a little too quick, though probably after Mutsumi's break down last week, her resolves had faltered. On top of that, Nyamu also demanded Sakiko to take responsibility for asking to give their remaining life. Sakiko finally gave up and decided to revive Ave Mujica for the girls' sake. This episode is a kind of juxtaposition from MyGO ep. 10. In MyGO's reunion, every member was dragged one by one after each live performance, building up to an emotional climatic live performance where everyone looked at each other and cried. In Ave Mujica's, on the other hand, Sakiko was the only member who needed to be dragged by everyone until she finally gave in. We got an unsatisfying reunion, where they were only there for their selfish ideal. Noone was looking at each other. We got two banger songs out of it though, Uika's twisted love song to Sakiko and the revival of Ave Mujica @[email protected] [image: 1907f722-eeb8-429e-b35a-f212ba25a72f.webp]

I don't know what to say I lied There's a lot to unpack in this episode. There's one singular theme, though: everyone is on the verge of breaking down because of their exes. Starting with Uika, who has been on the back burner for the last couple of episodes. Thanks to Soyo posting on CRYCHIC's account, Uika pried into CRYCHIC through Anon. She didn't seem too happy learning that CRYCHIC is going back together. On top of that, she learnt Ave Mujica was formed as a rebound from CRYCHIC. Her fantasy of being together with Sakiko had now been shattered. She'd do anything to form Ave Mujica back together. She even thought of throwing Mutsumi in anger. [image: 8e06bf33-fccc-4d83-bd80-008442e6a4a7.webp] Sakiko is still filled with guilt of breaking Mutsumi after forming Ave Mujica. She was determined to fulfill her wish to bring back CRYCHIC together, even after having her resolve in episode 7. She wasn't really keen on getting back together either, but her guilt is what fueled her to grant Mutsumi's wish of getting CRYCHIC. [image: 2c5a87a1-8418-45b7-90b5-d1b54f37db27.webp] CRYCHIC being back together meant death for Mortis. Kinda ironic that her character role was one who not fear death, and she was determined to bring Ave Mujica back to prevent her from dying. Because Ave Mujica was disbanded because of her inability to play a guitar, she had been honing her guitar skills, thanks to Umiri. While Mutsumi is still unhealthily attached to CRYCHIC, because the Mutsumi-chan we knew only exists for the sake of CRYCHIC. In the end, Mortis accidentally "killed" Mutsumi and now pretending to be Mutsumi in order to bring Ave Mujica back. [image: 5ca6907a-333b-4284-9458-e50cb8f99cfc.webp] Umiri's case was a little unique, she shouldn't have that much attachment with Ave Mujica. When Ave Mujica disbanded, she was shown to be unaffected. Her resolve was only started after watching CRYCHIC performing together. Either because of jealousy since she couldn't connect with her other band unlike them or Taki's comment or it was her impulsive behavior that we explore last episode (her buying beauty product and her only drinking protein shakes as sustenance). She is seen as someone untrustworthy by Taki and Nyamu. To gain back that trust, she even had to quit her 50 other bands. Funny that Umiri only started acting up after Taki commented on her both being emotionally distant from Ave Mujica and untrustworthy (I'm definitely not biased with my UmiTaki goggles). [image: fe82687f-b60b-41b3-a3d8-b9de995cc02f.webp] Umiri also parallels Soyo from last season. Both are bass player trying to bring back their former band member after listening to Haruhikage on episode 7. Nyamu, on the other hand, didn't crash that badly. She was still haunted by Mutsumi's acting and had a hard time auditioning. Umiri also kept bothering her to join Ave Mujica despite her having no interest. Same with Umiri, she didn't have much attachment to Ave Mujica, so she has no reason to join back. Thanks to that, she is the only sane person to stop Ave Mujica and criticize how stupid they looked. [image: 9b47f7ad-1a64-45eb-975a-a1bac98cc0c1.webp] Gotta give it to the OST in this episode. They enhance an already stressful scene with an anxiety-inducing OST like a ticking time bomb. This was the most intense episode of Ave Mujica yet, and we will probably see the climax next episode! (same with It's MyGO!!!!!) Yes, Raana, they are a bunch of interesting girls.

I keep expecting the bad guys to do something to obstruct their work but nothing happened.

As somebody who doesn't like spiders i was dreading this episode 😅

Despite some troubles Kenichi seems to be settling into his new home, but slow life still evades him. Primula refused a marriage to a noble family to chase after Kenichi. She got what she wanted and Kenichi accepted her into the family. Whose idea is it to practice fireball inside a wooden house?!

I need some LN junk. Give me these licenses...

Anama read Kenichi correctly. He uprooted himself from the town without telling anyone. While perfectly reasonable (he wanted to avoid being traced by nobles), it was quite a cold thing to do.

Give us back the OP of the first season!

Binging season 3 at the moment and loving every second of it. Damn, I really do love this show.

The article isn't even that bad. It has a short synopsis and how the recommended anime fits as an AoT suggestion. There are worse listicles for sure.

Timely article for those of us in the US. I have been working on taxes this week and it is always a super pain. They really need to bring Takkun back, he looks super adorable.

why didn’t Natsuko draw Mighty Greatsword Luke to begin with? Natsuko drew the Luke she's drawn all her life. In the dark she comes to accept that drawing that Luke isn't enough. In the end, with the help of QJ, she realizes that she should draw her own Luke, the one she's come to know and fall in love with. It's her coming to terms with her feelings towards Luke, which is emphasized by what she says after she draws him. Or so I say. A line from Natsuko about what sparked the change would've been better than listening to QJ moan. Really anything probably would've been better than listening to QJ moan. "I know, I should've drawn him shirtless!", whatever, anything else, please. I was hoping that Natsuko would take more agency over a new ending for Tale Of Perishing after this point. I was definitely hoping to see Natsuko draw an entire new in-canon ending for Horobiku Monogatari. Do a complete revision! That's literally the title of the show!

The a manga I'm reading seems to have seems to have started using AI for some illustrations... They used it in the latest chapter for a crowd here and it looked awful. While it was probably touched up, making me second guess, the shading and style was so typically AI-gen on top of the perspective and relative sizing being way off. It's way different from the mangaka's style and how crowds looked before. Hopefully this is just a one off thing... The manga is The Executed Sage Who Was Reincarnated As A Lich Started An All-Out War.
