First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 9
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 9 twice. So, this episode reminded me of the episode when Nanahoshi became hysterical when her summoning magic failed at once. In this episode, because she thought she was going to die, she got hysterical again. It was because she really missed her original world and wanted to do what she wanted to do. She also didn't like that world because she hadn't aged at all. This was something other series don't care about, but in reality, this should be a problem. A person can easily die in an unfamiliar place from an unfamiliar virus or whatever, and that cannot be healed by magic. That's actually a pretty good detail in the story. It also rings true that empty words mean nothing to a person who is desperate. By the way, Nanahoshi's drawings are more realistic, like her mouth or fingers, maybe to show she has a medical issue?

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 16
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 16 twice. So, this episode was pretty simple. Subaru saw his past memories from when he came to Lugunica onward, and then met himself in the Corridor of Memories. Because he had already died 15 times in the tower, it made sense that he thought the original Subaru had something special that other isekai protagonists would have in their isekai world. But he was disappointed that the original Subaru didn't. And he watched those dozens of return-by-death memories one after another, and it hit him hard. Of course, it would drive anyone insane if you could feel the pain and watch the memories.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 8
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 8 twice. Alright. Finally the story started changing a little. It's a little interesting that demons aren't allowed in the flying fortress because Perugius doesn't like them. Because of that, Roxy wasn't allowed in. I guess she headed back by road on her own afterward because nobody was with her, and she knew it could take days. The reason why Rudy took time to be teleported was... Man God? Or the capacity of the magic? The teleport magic's animation reminded me of the background when Rudy met Man God.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 7
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 7 twice. This episode was the one about the natural progression of academy life, which was graduation. The main focus of the graduation was Linia and Pursena. In order to decide who would lead their tribes, they fought. Rudy was just excited and enjoyed watching the fight, though he didn't expect them to go their separate ways afterward. The fight took a long time, but the animation wasn't good. They mostly animated only a few specific characters, or shot the fight from a long distance. Maybe the production saved effort in this episode because it wasn't an important fight. Anyhow, they were worried about going their separate ways, but it seemed like they met immediately after they departed the city, so they were still really like glue.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 15
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 15 twice. I didn't see this coming. What was impressive was that Subaru counted his deaths and kept retrying like 15 times. And there were so many attempts he made, but almost everything was aimed at killing him. And he ended up unable to move his legs out of fear, because after so many attempts, he knew he would die whichever route he tried next.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 14
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 14 twice. I didn't expect that ending. So, in this episode, I was able to understand a lot of things. First of all, if Subaru, Ram, and Beatrice rushed to Emilia's place, Shaula turned into a scorpion. Why did that happen to her? It was probably a spell her master cast on her in the past, one that would turn her into a mabeast if she went outside of the tower, in order to stop her from abandoning the tower. So I bet while she was protecting the tower on the balcony, something pushed her and she became the mabeast.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 13
This note includes a spoiler, and not only about this episode. I watched Re:Zero season 4 episode 13 twice. "That is that, this is this." I think it made sense how other people like Julius felt toward Subaru. Subaru spoke like he knew Julius pretty well, even though Subaru had said he lost his memory the day before. It sounded like a lie, but he was on his fifth life because of the return by death, and he saw how Julius confronted Reid by himself in a desperate situation. Honestly, if I were Julius, I would think he was lying for some reason, or just a creepy person. But Julius trusted him and believed his words, and also he had his pride as a knight. So he looked like he was convinced by what Subaru said.

First thoughts after watching Re:Zero Season 4 Episode 12
This note includes a spoiler. I watched the Re:Zero season 4 episode 12 twice. So, Re:Zero season 4 was one of the most anticipated seasons I'd waited for. It started after Subaru returned by death 4 times in a short period of time in the tower of... What? Saint? And in the previous loop, he distrusted everyone because he was killed 3 times, but then he noticed everyone was really worried about him and he also was saved by Emilia from disappearing. So, it was pretty natural that he broke down in tears when he came back and saw Beatrice was alive. I forgot how she died in the previous loop, though. I remembered Meili, Foxidna, Julius, and Emilia.

First thoughts after watching Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 Episode 6
This note includes a spoiler. I watched Jobless Reincarnation season 3 episode 6 twice. This episode was mostly between Rudy and Sara. Sara, and how he parted ways with her, was one issue Rudy hadn't solved until this episode. So the main focus in this episode was to solve it, and it started with Sylphie's kid and Rudy. Honestly, I didn't recognize Suzanne at first, but once I did, it made sense that she had quit being an adventurer and gotten married. And she even got a job as a nanny at Rudy's house. Then, obviously, Rudy met Sara on the next job, but he avoided her, or ran away from her. I was a little pissed off. Why would he do that? But then he talked with her about the past and what happened, and showed how mature he had become. In terms of Sara, she felt a little sad after talking to Rudy, and I thought she had regrets. She might have, but after talking to Rudy she understood why it couldn't have worked, and she moved on. And then she and Rudy really became good friends. I liked her.

Random thoughts after rewatching The Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Episode 9
This note includes a spoiler. I rewatched The Apothecary Diaries season 1 episode 9 twice. In this episode, the poison was alcohol and salt, and sweetness was involved too. Gaoshun was like a father to Jinshi. He also said he had known Jinshi since he was a kid, and he was surprised by Jinshi's childish behavior toward Maomao. He didn't seem to welcome it because Jinshi should behave like a higher-up, so he is a strict and disciplined person.
