There’s a lot of sadness in this showĦ:14 – Nice line. A lot of this show centers on how the world devalues the honest experiences of the young – Natasha’s backstory was heavy with this, and Kate brings it up all the timeĦ:31 – Jeez, look who’s acting all adult nowĦ:54 – Man, all the great details. Kate plays at being the tough criminal, Itsuka pays for the damn bananasĩ:34 – And again. Jeez, this scene is heartlessġ1:54 – Really? Doesn’t seem possible his story would end here, but…ġ1:57 – Trying so hard to keep it impersonalġ2:25 – Pretty great bit. Another piece of casual mockery, and “I’ve never been good at talking to a camera” is rich coming from the guy who’s trying to remove the personal element from all interactionsġ3:28 – The opposite of Kate. He says “you can do what you want,” but actually demands total loyalty, while Kate talks of conquering while granting her subjects any freedom they desireġ4:46 – Man, this show really understands the sentiments it’s playing off ofġ4:52 – And again, she’s the only one with a life to go back toġ5:08 – Hah, that guy was the leader of West Udogawa. And again, the importance of family meals.

Something that was great for a gag, but also struck at something more fundamental – that place clearly labeled itself a homeģ:26 – This show really values its family mealsĥ:11 – Again, few shows can pull off this very strange mood. The Chief episode was another great example of it – it’s a series of ridiculous events, but it somehow sells it.

Compare that to Zvezda HQ, which was full of personality and loudly declared “Zvezda” right on its front stoop.

Damn anime shooting itself in the footĢ:34 – A generic apartment block with bars on the windows and a “No Trespassing” sign” – what our heroes have been reduced to. This is probably a show I’d recommend to a whole bunch of people if not for that. It’s a damn shame about the sleazy outfits. The future she dreams into existence before her dissolves into dust as she passes Her confidence is her power and her curseĠ:35 – Man, this show just nails its tone. Kind of dreamy, kind of creepy, capturing the whimsy and also the strange menace of storybook fables. Let’s see where it goes next.Ġ:05 – Guess we’re starting in Neverland this weekĠ:11 – That’s pretty great. Her childish dream can only be dreamt by a child.

Better Zvezda by far.Īlright, that’s enough rambling. That’s interesting, but I honestly hope it’s not relevant – what would it say if the people this inhuman structure valued really were more valuable? Better to be valued by Kate, who sees purpose in everyone, than to be the favorite child of callous, unfeeling parents. In abandoning that, Renge may have made the first act of willful rebellion against the defamilyzing status quo – she’s not a misfit, she’s a beacon. White Light may have lost its purpose and surrendered itself to power for power’s own sake, but it still had a job for White Robin. Renge also believes he has value, and unlike Asuta, Renge actually deserted a family that truly valued her. That’s not the case anymore – he is a member of Zvezda through and through, reviled by the real world and given purpose only by the girl who believes he has value in spite of all evidence to the contrary. All of these characters have been thrown away, but up until last week, Asuta didn’t realize this – he thought he still had power, thought he held the trump card of still being valued.

But on the other, none of them really had a choice – as the Chief glibly stated, he’s only done what promised the greatest chance of survival. On the one hand, this was very generous of them, and demonstrated how much the members of this family care about each other. Kate’s dream has powered Zvezda’s belief so far, and last episode featured each member of the team in turn sacrificing themselves in service of that belief. The Neverland the main characters have inhabited is falling apart under the disapproving gaze of Asuta’s father, and pretty much everyone is fighting back in their own way. The last two weeks have done a tremendous amount of work in pulling this show’s threads together – family, identity, childhood, belief, it’s all lining up and it’s all working great.
