- Spoiler:
-god, Hizuru is badass
-shadows can copy actions? What does that even mean?
-I liked the way when Hizuru's speaking about why she came back, they mostly just focus on Ryuunosuke listening.
-Telling the Shinpei-formed Haine to "step back," trying to break up the alliance between Haine and Shide.
-Ryuunosuke into Shide's dataless armour to rip it apart and he's got a shadow body now!
-Shadow Mio cutting human(ish) Karakiri's head right the fuck off and he's just like "see you in the next loop" holy shit
-why can't the clone hold memories?? Clearly there's a version of him that can, but what's the difference between this one and the version with memories? And did the other clone get the memories of this interaction that this clone should have gotten.
-Shinpei's starting to be able to see the future loops. This might end with him figuring out how to just see all the possible universes and make them exist.
-the casual "see you later," but his finger still hesitates on the trigger
-FUCK! Without the element of surprise, Hizuru got killed. And it probably happened too late to save with another loop.
-Bleeding from the Shadow eye. If he gets too upset, will he fling it out like Haine did?
-Don't do it, Shinpei, you can't afford to loop again now! Calm down and step back! Step the fuck back!
-telling him to free Haine
-Hizuru's hand letting Ryuunosuke go while he chases after her, this is so sad. And it took me by surprise how much so, we've had so many deaths I didn't realize this is the first real death scene (well, Ushio died too, but that feels less likely to be permanent)
-So Shinpei gets Ryuunosuke now too, he's amassing a decent amount of shadow.

- Spoiler:
-Shinpei getting confused b/c now he's got someone who's two seconds ahead in his brain.
-YES! I KNEW IT! Ushio's data preserved!!
-Sou finally gets the guts to confess to Mio again, but it's Shadow Mio
-No, she was just pretending to be the Shadow to get out of an awkward situation
-Shinpei, don't be such a jerk, "huh" is a shitty answer to someone telling you they love you! She should have gone for Sou after all, if you're gonna be like that!
-And then afterwards she's sobbing to Tokiko, while Tokiko's probably thinking now she has a chance with Mio. Actually, now that Shinpei's made his choice, there's enough Mios's to go around! Maybe we're gonna get a 2-Mio, 3-couple happy ending!
-Shadow Mio coldly wondering if reg Mio will get another chance with Shinpei after defeating Haine makes the new Ushio disappear. I really wish we could get a better sense of why Shadow Mio's so much more different from the original than Shadow Ushio.
-The mom down in the passages with a match and what looks like gas spills, not sure if she's acting for the good guys or not. Ushio purified her, right? So she should be. But it still seemed ominous; maybe for but not with?
-She somehow latched on to Shinpei both mind and body, so the Ushio from that loop is outside the loops now but the loops still bring back their own version of Ushio when it would have happened, that's not much of an explanation, but at least they're giving us something to show it's not just an ass-pull
-Shinpei covers his eye when talking as Ryuunosuke, glad they gave us a visual cue
-Touching conversation with Nezu, and he's just like "no point in saying that now"
-the whale figurehead on the little shrine
-LEAVE ALAN ALONE, SHIDE! He's barely on-screen as a character, but somehow the fact that he's pretty much the only person they haven't involved in the fight makes me feel protective of him.
-disturbing how well Haine can predict Shinpei now that she's copied him
-COME ON, GET HER!
-her first reaction to Guil isn't "holy fuck what is this thing," it's "a baby?" Weirdo.
-Ushio! <3

Since I'm getting pretty far ahead, I'll pause for a bit till you catch up, and I'm thinking it'd make sense to wait for you episode by episode after that since it's getting close to the end. So lemme know if you're doing a burst so I can start trying not to fall behind you.

- Spoiler:
- Welp, Haine's pointed out that he's back on the cliff's edge
- Spooky bullshit
- Haine ran from the seashell?
- AHHHH IT'S NOT SHINPEI SETTING UP THE GROUP MEET AT TIGER ISLAND
- His shadow from a pre-existing loop is being used in this one.
- Does that mean that Ushio's shadow can be rezzed from an older loop?
- Hmmm Hizuru suspects something's up because Tiger Island is a bit too dangerous of a meeting place
- Giving cop-kun a gun, that may end up being pivotal
- "Don't give me death flags, yo"
- Ah yes, the multiple Shide's
- The loops might be causing Haine to run out of time too
- D'awwww, he's so excited to be able to talk to her in real time again
- Full tilt time

- Spoiler:
My browser crashed as I was about to hit "send", most of my thoughts amounted to "I'm off BLAM goddamn" "He gave Shide the easy win by looping" and "AGHHHH SHE PASSED ON RYUUNOSUKE TO HIM ;_;"
- Spoiler:
Oh shit, I didn't even realize he was bleeding from his shadow eye which potentially boop out when he feels too guilty the same as what happened with Haine. Though perhaps that's the way to bring Ushio back?

I'll watch the next two tonight, possibly
- Spoiler:
- He cuts off the doctor's sentence because he has a 2 second delay now
- Ushio stored her memories in something only Ushio can read.
- "She's coming back"
- Awwww shiet, the original her that's underwater will still show up
- Ha, Mio tried to pretend to be her shadow to get out of awkwardness but Sou flipped the script on her
- D'awww she said it
- I dunno man, everyone finding out that no one loves anybody else might make shit a little weird when they're fighting for their lives tomorrow
- Spooky, Shadow Mom is about set everything on fire
- Shinpei covers his eye so Ryuunosuke can give his thanks to Nezu
- Spooky shadow fish looking for Ushio
- Ganbatte, Guil!
- Ushio's tears that he came back
- Awwww Guil
I'll watch the next two tonight, possibly

- Spoiler:
- Ushio hacked away parts of Shide's armour
- Mio with the "time out"
- OH FUCK, HE'S GONNA KILL HIMSELF AGAIN AND TAKE USHIO WITH HIM TO ESCAPE
- RIP Sou
- Wait are they already hanging out Hiruko Cave expecting to rez there with Ushio?
- Ohooo, and by making themselves targets, they also stretch out the time they have before the bad ending starts
- Fireworks!
- Just shoot Shide in the face
- Shide doesn't want to hear Nezu's screams because they go way back
- Shadows can just erase their sensations, might explain why Shadow Mio is so different
- It's slightly confusing trying to keep up with Shinpei/Ryuunosuke and Shinpei/Haine during all this action
- Haine's face exploding into nailhole blood
- NO SENSEI
- YOUR WORDS OF SAGE KINDNESS ARE GOING TO DESTROY US ALL
- SHADOW MIO HOLY FUCK
- "Bye bye Shin-chan" ;_;
- Shide somehow keeps living

- Spoiler:
- Wuh oh, no intro sequence, we fucked
- Haine's reverted to a baby form without eyes
- This is some freaky-ass Berserk bullshit here, Shide just cut open a monster baby to enter a dimension inside the walls
- A cliff where the flow of time stops
- Arguing out formality
- Ryuu struggling to drop his accent
- Haine's home is an empty village where time doesn't move, which is probably why she wanted to take everyone with her
- UH OH, Ryuunosuke is gonna try to kill Ushio now because Haine's emerging out of her
- Aghhhh, Haine sad and guilty that she killed everyone
- Oops, Shide lured them into the afterlife because it would nullify Ryuunosuke's time delay and Shimpei's looping
- So Shide wants to ascend to an even higher plane of existence to he can burn the manga
- Shide's a Final Fantasy boss, nice
- OH SHIT WORLD WAR II IS HERE
- Ushio is fucking running up time-frozen bombs
- Speaking of Final Fantasy 7, this is very Sephiroth end-boss music here
- The fragment of Ushio's hair that Mio kept
- AGH USHIO IS UNCONSCIOUS
Nice, I remember cliffhangers

- Spoiler:
-Shide's arm is bare! Way to go, Ushio!
-Mio dragging her back out of nowhere while she's kicking like a kid I guess the bracelet that was glitching must have been Mio.
-resetting, holy shit that's bold!
-interesting that a wild shadow's body matters to its ability, that it needs eyes to see. That makes it seem like they inherently have some kind of physical reality to them.
-Resetting right to Hiruko's cave to take her out is incredibly bold, too
-what the fuck kind of shadow is THAT?? Those floating teeth!
-Tokiko thanking Shinpei for giving her a second chance, she's gonna die And this is so soon after their reset point, too, she might not be saveable next time.
-the shadow thinking 'help,' and those weird red boils on its tongue, it's like it's not supposed to be like this, or maybe not supposed to be properly alive and separate from Haine? THe wild shadows she was using earlier had gotten weirder-looking than they used to be, maybe she's overextending her ability to create them or something?
-wonder where real Mio is
-Fireworking the wall
-No one in 300 years has been able to break through the barrier. Who else has tried?? I wouldn't think he'd be worried about just regular people to begin with, so... another shadow? Have there been other ones like Ushio??
-Damn, they've figured out Shinpei has Ryuunosuke
-Sou faking Haine out with a copied nailgun and then pinning her with the real one! YESS!
-Ushio punching Shide in his stupid smug face before he can finish talking!
-Enter Shide 2
-Haine screaming, and Ushio remembering that teacher telling her her hands aren't for hurting
-I like the way the memory has her say to use them for stroking others' heads, like Hizuru stroked Haine's head back then
-DId she kill her??!?
-YES! MIO GOT SHIDE IN THE HEAD WITH THE BUTCHER KNIFE! Feels extra-satisfying because that threat of her butcher knife was such a force of anticipation right from the start
-Bye-bye, Shin-chan
-Ushio's got Haine's eye. But Shinpei still has it too? What's the difference between the red and the blue, they both seem to be the same eye?
-Haine's in both of them and now Shide's somehow the big bad even without Karakiri inside him?? Is he just some kind of malevolent nothingness now?? What the fuck!

- Spoiler:
-creepy little Haine baby?
-oh boy, here comes that egg thing they mentioned way back
-This timeline's Ushio hasn't reappeared and given Shinpei the eye but Shinpei has the eye already, but if Shide stops her from giving it he won't have it even though he already does? this timeloop stuff is so mind-bending
-the way Shide treats baby Haine
-slicing her the fuck up to open a door in reality
-trying to get Ryuunosuke to stop Shinpei from going in, but he won't, because his sister would beat him up in the afterlife
-Haine's world where time doesn't move and the cliff is literal
-fuck, no looping here
-using Ryuunosuke all-out is destroying his body too
-now Shinpei's his own stepped-back self
-Ryuunosuke is adorable
-following Haine's ball through the silent streets with the oppressively still, strange sky overhead, it's so atmospheric and eerie
-all the people-like Shadows gathering around Ushio
-her shadow going all scary, Haine-style
-ohhhh fuck, if she gets too taken over Ryuunosuke's gonna kill her
-she's got good Haine, not semi-evil Hiruko (evil's maybe not the right word, seems more like just a creature doing what it's meant to do to survive, with no malice)
-no looping and no two seconds ahead, this is going to be rough
-Shide wants to get to the higher level to pull the plug on all worlds
-using an entire WWII air raid to attack them from Hiruko's traumatic memory
-bombs as stepping stones
-the hair Mio gave her!
-Ryuunosuke's the first to say he'll trust Haine, in spite of everything
-he's just empty now
-THE EYE!
-She got it! But she's not looking good...

Aagh, second-last episode!
E24
E24
- Spoiler:
-shrinking down to a kid because she's running out of data
-oh thank god, Haine was an adult when she and Karakiri got together, I'd been uncomfortably wondering about that at the back of my mind for ages. I guess she's only a child because she doesn't have enough data, same as Ushio?
-Shide having to re-form himself because it's hard to use weapons with two right arms
-oh god, his hand after punching Shide
-oh god his ARM!!
-the image of Ryuu desperately hugging onto a blob with eyes while telling it he hates it hit me with a feeling, not sure what exactly, but a feeling
-Shide's face has all the little shadow-arms on it, they're so small that they seem almost pitiful
-Disintegrating from the handprint first
-it's a conclusion Ushio will win because the eye is his and she's going to give it to him, which she hasn't done yet
- Shide wanted to see the world/humanity's end but since Haine can't keep up replicating him he has to destroy it himself to live to see it, that's.... weirdly practical. But kinda works.
-Ushio willing the gun into his hand, but it's Haine that made it move
-"not a single unimportant moment"
-that Shide death scene, damn
-Ushio being so gentle with the freaky Hiruko baby
-erasing the whale before any of this happened
-Haine and Ryuu holding hands, planning to be friends when she's reborn, awww. But not sure how that'd work with the 300-year time difference.
-oh no, Ushio
-wanting to disappear with her because he'll just die when he goes back to his broken body. But shouldn't he be reborn in 300 years too? And her?
-this slow disappearing into the light as they say goodbye is killing me
-she's gonna redraw that whole summer and fix things? Yes!! You can do it, Ushio! Go!
-grabbing him from behind and hugging him just as the light overwhelms everything
-back to the beginning
I-is it really fixed? Are we just going to have an entire episode that's just a happy ending? Or an almost-happy but then really sad one if it turns out Ushio is erased from the timeline altogether. That doesn't seem like it'd be a whole episode, and if it is the happy one, is almost too generous to give us that much (but I'll take it!). But adding in one more quick go-round with Shide somehow or any other excuse for a big-but-fast battle like that that doesn't seem reasonable, so what else are they going to do? And why are Shinpei and Hizuru both coming back to the island if Ushio didn't die and there's no shadows? Everything could be different.

Holy fuck
- Spoiler:
- Hacking shells
- The freaky umbilical cord that's attached to Hiruko and Shide's armour
- Shide makes me think of a Tyrant or the Nemesis from Resident Evil with the way he moves around
- The eyeball flying out of Shide's face with the sledgehammer
- Shide pulling in his extra arm so he can replace his missing arm
- Fucking gross, Shimpei's shattered hand after Ryuunosuke was forced to punch Shide
- The shadow baby hands reaching up to Shide's face out of his armour too
- Spat out and shot up blob-Ryuunosuke
- Oh right, Hizuru tried to do the same thing
- Shide is such a fucking Final Fantasy villain
- Haine ;_;
- The way Shide's fucking dissolving at every plane of existence
- Freaky baby monster acquired
- Time traveled to the day of the whale
- WHOA Shimpei hacked time for a second
- So this timeline was ultimately Hiruko "trying again" and since that failed, Hiruko just wants to end it and make sure it doesn't happen again?
- "If I'm reborn, can we become friends again" ;_;
- Shimpei's eyes are normal
- AGH SHADOW USHIO IS GOING TO DISSOLVE FOREVER TOO
- Oh right, Shimpei's gonna be going too
- Back at the start of it all
Holy fuck

- Spoiler:
-Remembers Hizuru's identity, and is crying his head off at seeing her alive, but everything's deja vu rather than fully remembering
-Automatically gets ready to save Mio on the bike but the brakes work properly, everything's going right.
-oh thank fuck, Ushio still exists!!
-Ushio being totally ridiculous
-Aw, and Nezu's there picking up trash. And is that his wife???
-omg, his parents, I didn't even think about the fact that they'd be alive, this is going above and beyond on happy endings!
-Feels a little sad greeting Alan, though, that he's not family in this timeline.
-oh, hey, Ushio's name means tide
-Shiori and the kids who fought the Shadow teacher echoing some of what they'd said in the other timelines
-HAINE's birthday???
-agh, I'm tense going up to the shrinev even though they're not presenting it threateningly
-an old Karikiri, and a son who looks different from him, everything really does seem to be okay
-she dream-remembered too
-agh, playfully pinning his shadow, this is so perfectly happy
-the way she drops her head for him to put the shell necklace on her
-and their shadows are together!
-Hizuru's book is different! And she seems different, too, gentler, dreamier, but still very much her self.
-Haine's Shiori's sister now?
-RYUUNOSUKE! And he's all grown up!!
-Wait, Ryuunosuke married Hizuru's friend, and they named their other kid Haine? So the same Shiori was born to a different father than in the old timeline?? What happened to that guy, I wonder. Also, wonder if this Haine is a descendant of the original.
-the photo made me almost tear up, somehow fixing the happiness in a moment like that feels meaningful
-Sou trying again with Mio, he's gonna keep doing this every year for the rest of their lives, isn't he
-Ushio and Shinpei both remembering in a burst of fireworks
-seeing July 25th flash across the screen relieved a tension that none of the rest of it managed to dispel
We got our happy ending!!!
Really a first-rate show, solid characters, pulled off some pretty ambitious plot stuff and kept the tension and the emotion strong the whole way through, plus that sense of place added something extra, and they gave us an entire episode of happy ending! Glad you made me watch this one instead of being a coward!

I'm also majorly happy that the show had promise and actually followed through on so much of it instead of losing steam partway through like a lot of them do

Yeah, I was worried when I saw it was 25 episodes, because it felt like it might be able to wrap up in half that, and keeping going would probably either involve dragging it out or getting too far away from the premise, but then it just upped its game instead.
