The detail? We got to watch the party skin and butcher a dragon piece of piece, walking us through its digestive cycle and how it breathes fire. ![]() It took everything I love about the show, the detailed world building and ecology, the animation and expressiveness of the characters, even the uncommon bouts of serious drama, and dialed them up to 11. ![]() If you’ve seen the episode then it should come as no surprise that Dungeon Meshi is #1 this week. And the best part of it all? The rest of the episode(s) live up to what this opening promised.Ĭontinue reading “Black Lagoon – 21/22 – Throwback Thursday” → Tagged anime, Black Lagoon, Throwback Thursday 2 Comments Winter 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 10 Even the episode title, “Two Father’s Little Soldier Girls”, is beautiful in context. Burying her second in command then taking up the mantle once more, giving her men purpose where they had none, diving face first into this life for the sake of another. Disgraced as the home they fought for falls apart, soldiers without a country, abandoned and forgotten. The flashback to her childhood, dreaming of becoming an Olympian to restore her families honor in the eyes of the Soviet Union? Winding up shipped off to war, scarred, watching her men die and killing others in return. I’ve long said Balalaika is my favorite Black Lagoon character, and this bookend parallel with Yukio only cemented that. Starting off, what a way to bookend a pair of episodes. So strap in, cause we have a lot to talk about this week! And remember, if you have a suggestion for our next season of Throwback Thursday, post it below! I’ll add it to the ballot after next weeks post. I love so much about these episodes, and they are so intertwined with each other that I’m going to forgo the usual format and tackle them together, as a single unit, because that’s what I think they are. Welcome all, to what may be the best pair of Black Lagoon episodes… Ever, really. Just give me more Farcille and I’ll be happy, seriously.Ĭontinue reading “Winter 2024 What-I’m-Watching Summary – Week 11” → 5 Comments Black Lagoon – 21/22 – Throwback Thursday Don’t know where those will go, but Dungeon Meshi has earned my trust by this point, I’m excited and looking forward to it. As for what’s next? Well we’ve gotten some setup for Falin being empowered because she was resurrected using dragon flesh, as well as the crazy dark skinned elf from the paintings apparently following, and finally finding, them. The bath stuff could have been a bit much, but Dungeon Meshi didn’t go overboard or do anything to fetishize it, they took a bath together nothing more, so I think it worked. We got to see once again how protective Laios is of her, how similar the two are in their adventurous spirit and test for food and, most important, the one true OTP of Dungeon Meshi: Farcille! Their scenes were really cute, especially them cuddling in the bed and just talking. It spent a lot of time on their reunion and individual relationships with Falin. Dungeon Meshi was even considerate enough to use the second half too cool us down. It was all really good, a nice and satisfying way to wrap up the arc. The early tension around resurrecting Falin and Marcille’s “dark” magic, all the preparation putting together bones to make a skeleton, and then the climax of the ritual itself. While not as bombastic and action packed as last week, this was still a very emotional and well paced episode. First up this week is, once again, Dungeon Meshi.
