Who doesn't love an "involved nut"?!

Dorohedoro Anime Sequel Announces 2025 Premiere With New Teaser Visual - Anime Corner If this is true then it's been a long time coming!

Episode 13 A lovely way to end a lovely little gem of a show examining themes around redemption through the lense of SOL, and at times psychological horror. In the end, Reki's main test was to open her heart again to trust others enough to be able to ask for much needed help. Both Rakka and...

Aww thank you too! Nothing screams kurisamasu to me more than these two lovable idiots in this scene heh

A very belated happy birthday dude! Glad to hear you had a great day and here's to many more to come 🎉

Episode 12 Fireworks and reconciliation. Wasn't expecting a fireworks episode in this show but the tolling bells at the year's end celebration brought a very peaceful vibe to the town. The distribution of presents by the Haibane, in silence, to the humans that had nurtured them over the year...

Episodes 10 & 11 Watched 10 a few days back but kept forgetting to comment on it so decided to do together with 11 as I suspect I'll get bits of the next episode mixed in. I really enjoyed the first part of Reki's backstory and how she eventually bonded with Nemu. Haibane dude tells Reki...

Episode 9 Rakka's insight into her cocoon dream seems to be helping her overcome her guilt over her previous nihilistic emotions and actions (like you had surmised @D1tchd1gger ), as a result of which a supportive loved one suffered. Her admission of this got Haibane-communicator-dude very...

That's true and I felt that it was partially down to her trying to put on a brave face, but probably more related to a loss of affect and the blunting of emotions experienced in depression.

Episode 8 The tone of the show has markedly changed with the depictions of depression nearing Evangelion levels in their earnestness (the almost identical end credits scene was just the start of the similarities with Eva then). The honest portrayal makes it crystal clear how the joy seems to...

Bury St Edmunds DVD shop owner vows to be 'last man standing' Dude seems to be a legend. Wonder if he can source anime as well🤔

That's a very interesting thought on its own, but also in relation to if this is an afterlife or purgatory then whether how, and at what age they may have died would affect them becoming our being chosen to become Haibane. I agree and definitely read this as her guilt at taking Kuu's place in...

Episode 7 Poor Rakka is really struggling with Kuu's departure a month on. The rest seemingly adapt more effortlessly, presumably as they are well versed in, and accepting of the fact that their Haibane forms are transient. Even the cafe owner (who also mixed up Kuu's gender!) is aware of this...

That is hilarious! The best bit was how needing to do overtime is your own fault - boy, have I heard that BS thrown around over here as well, but we would go one step further by saying you can't actually do overtime due to the European working time directive - Brexit sure fixed that problem hah...

Episode 6 The biggest mystery for me has been answered - Kuu was a girl all along!! I had been so confused, assuming a female gender initially given her older contemporaries, but eventually settling incorrectly on her just being a boy. Well that clears up Old Home definitely not being co-ed...
