We were waiting for this moment and here we have it.
Yor didn't need to sing a lullaby to Loid but she was there doing it and just how that tender act was that made him remember his mother.

Seriously was so sweet.

Spy x Family 25: Less Spy, More Family
Wit and Cloverworks chose a bold episode to end on, but I think in doing so make for a very memorable stopping point at the end of the season. Slow and methodic, it's a look at family dynamics and the importance of understanding and love in their relationships. Even if Loid and Donovan are butting heads about how the world works, at heart it's their conversation about children that stands out from between the lines.
Before that though, some quick notes on the episode!
There was some stuff that was neither here nor there, like the funky reflection that doesn't really seem to know how reflections work.
Tumblr media
But there was also some really pretty blink-and-you'll-miss-it pieces, like Loid looking at Anya's backpack when he was in disguise.
Tumblr media
And lastly, this little bit from the episode. There's a decent amount of off-model work on Loid overall, but deviating from the anime design to match the manga was a really cool touch.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Anyways, moving on. Loid's whole conversation with Donovan being double speak was really well done. They sold the interaction impressively well between both fellow parents and powerful men. It's not anything visually impressive per se, but they get the emotion and sentiment across impressively well.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The amount of time we get in seeing Damian's point of view on the conversation also helps a great deal with its reception, which is a really great addition to the anime. It helps sell his relationship with his father, and bring perspective and value to the words that Loid is bringing forward.
Really, in the previous cour I wasn't entirely sold on the overly emotional tones that the anime brought to the manga's material so early on, but it's absolutely won me over in moments like this. It feels much more natural and casual as the soundtrack carries the majority of the emotion, and that they add more feel through new pieces with Damian and the like rather than trying to find spots in the original material to insert that value.
Tumblr media
So it might not be the ending to Season 1 that people were hoping for, but I think it's a damn good one personally. I was on the fence with some of the changes that Wit and Cloverworks made in the first cour, but this second half has knocked it out of the park. Incredible work that brings it even further than a one-to-one adaptation, and helps a great deal with the studio's combined vision for the anime. It really sells the nature of Spy x Family ridiculously well, and is more than a complement to the manga, it is an equal and peer.
Spy x Family isn't a "pick one or the other", it's a "experience it all/both". Each have their own charms and variances, and relegating yourself to only watching the anime or only reading the manga is an incredibly naïve choice. This pair of studios has worked magic with this first season this year, and I'm incredibly excited to see what they manage with the even crazier material for next season, and the original movie they'll be working on!

Hapuriainen's animation, comics & games (and other) of 2023
Got the wrap up almost sort of out on time this year!
Anime: Frieren (cour 1), Re:Zero (season 1) Futari wa Precure Splash Star, Yes! Precure 5, Yes! Precure 5 GoGo, Smile Precure!, Mahou Tsukai Precure!, Hirogaru Sky! Precure, Otona Precure, Zettai Bouei Leviathan, Petite Princess Yucie, Tokyo Mew Mew New s2, Magical Destroyers
Did I legit not watch any other non-magical girl anime than Frieren and Re:Zero? I'll have to try harder this year. Overall 2023 was a very Precure year and I'm done with almost all of the seasons, only 3 left. But Frieren has been amazing, it looks so beautiful (and is certainly an improvement from the manga on this front), the music is great and of course I already liked the story. Re:Zero was compelling enough that I might watch the second season even if the isekai aspect really isn't for me. Emilia best girl.
As for Precure, usually I manage to watch one backlog season in addition to the airing one, but this time I surprised myself and did five. Which may not have been smart since it was kind of a chore at some points, but I wanted to prepare for the Otona sequel (which turned out to be a disappointment). The 2023 season Hirogaru was one of the better ones thanks to the excellent heroine.
Manga: Are You Alice, Saint Tail, Stellar Witch LIPS, Zelda manga (Oracle of Ages/Seasons, Ocarina of Time, Four Swords)
On the manga front there wasn't much of note, the ongoing series from previous years (OP, MHA, Undead Unluck, Spy x Family, Frieren, Witch Hat Atelier…) continue and I don't have a lot to say about them, except that my interest in One Piece is still very low even if we finally got out of Wano.
I did manage to finish Are You Alice after it being on hold for years, so that's something at least. It has absolutely lovely art and I like the concept, but it did get kind of complicated at times. And I wish we had seen more Alices.
Movies: Super Mario movie, Puss in Boots 2, The Bad Guys, Strange World, the Boy and the Heron, Barbie, various Precure movies
Barbie enters the scene as one of the few live action anything and it was great. The message didn't really speak to me personally but it has an amazing aesthetic, fun story and something to say. And like everyone else has already said, I agree that Puss in Boots 2 was great on all fronts and The Bad Guys was a lot of fun too.
Comics & novels: W.i.t.c.h. reboot, Null Magical Girl, Smile Precure! novel, Magia Record scene 0
The W.i.t.c.h. reboot came out of nowhere and landed with a thud, I was willing to give it a chance but the story just wasn't that interesting. Not sure how I would rate it if it didn't have the comparison against a childhood favourite.
Games: Zelda 1, Zelda Oracle of Ages & Seasons, Ocarina of Time, Tears of the Kingdom, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond, Pokemon Arceus (or half of it), Usagi Shima
From the anime side 2023 was a very Precure year, but on the game side it was an extremely Zelda year. Or it started as a Pokemon year with Brilliant Diamond, which was not enjoyable, and continued with Arceus, which has been the best Pokemon game I've played. Haven't cleared it yet though since I got this sudden need to play Zelda, and I didn't want to rush it. But I'm looking forward to finishing it.
On the Zelda front Tears of the Kingdom was just as great as I hoped, and it effectively monopolised my summer. But as much as I like botw Link, I'm ready for a new Hyrule. As for the older loz games, the OG game was too retro for me, but I really liked Oracle of Ages. Seasons had fun gameplay but the story was very nothing.
Then there was Usagi Shima which was cute for about 2 weeks but once I completed the bun book there wasn't really anything left to do. But it was fun for what it is.
Best work: Tears of the Kingdom
Best music: Frieren (A Powerful Mage)
Best visuals: Barbie looked amazing, especially for a live-action movie. Frieren on the anime side. As for manga, Are You Alice
Best character design: Cure Sky
Best OP: Hirogaru Sky Precure for the song, Frieren for visuals
Best ED: Frieren also
Biggest WTF: the sequel to a goddamn Shrek spin-off being so much better than it had any business being. Also the entirety of Null Magical Girl.
Best Girl: Frieren
Best Boy: Botw Link again I guess, I spend a lot of time thinking about him
Best Side Girl: I dunno, Ha-chan (Mahou Tsukai Precure)? She is just so cute.
Best Side Boy: Rauru (the goat one not the owl guy), he got a compelling story that lets us see him displaying many different emotions and he has such a pleasant voice. I'm not a furry but…
Worst Girl: Nozomi (Yes! Precure 5 & GoGo, she was ok in Otona though)
Worst Boy: I don't think there's enough works with a notable male main character this year and I don't remember hating any of them. I guess I didn't particularly like Subaru (re:Zero) but he wasn't like, the worst.
Worst Side Girl: Ellee-chan (Hirogaru Sky! Precure), baby characters just really don't work for me
Worst Side Boy: I don't really like the friendly rivals in Pokemon, so Barry.
Best romance: I continue to ship Link and Zelda (botw/totk)
Best non-romantic relationship: The fact that botw Link isn't alone any more and has friends who are happy to see him and fight with him
Worst romance: Main girl x main guy from Stellar Witch Lips, they barely had any scenes together
Worst non-romantic relationship: the group dynamics in the W.i.t.c.h. reboot didn't work nearly as well as in the original.
Plans for 2024:
Tiger & Bunny and Spy x Family part 2
Wonderful Precure!
Starting three backlog Precure I haven't seen yet with Heartcatch
Maybe it'll be Evangelion's year this time?
Ghost Trick is currently downloading on my Switch since it was on sale
More Zelda in general
Case Study of Vanitas started getting published here so I'll probably catch up on that

buncha words bout some spring animes #5
Now that I'm a Serious and Employed Person I appreciate series like Skip and Loafer or SpyFam even more. There's nothing better than coming back home and relaxing with some cute and funny anime. It may well be that if I rewatched some older series which I'd dropped or skipped altogether because they seemed boring, I would actually like them much more now. Well, for now let's stick to spring shows. Enjoy!
The Witch from Mercury (season 2, ep. 1-3) - one more week and I'll finally catch up to GWitch. These first three episodes were a real rollercoaster - we started with a pretty chill one, just reestablishing the characters and plot for the second cour. AND THEN! Episode two was wild. I gotta say, what's really amazing about the writing in this series is how it keeps introducing asshole characters, only to make you feel sorry for them after just a couple of episodes. And it actually works, I really care about these guys. I want to believe they're going to be alright... I don't know how dark Gundam endings usually are, but I get a feeling it's better to expect the worst and get a nice surprise, instead of the other way around.
Oshi no Ko (ep. 6) - yeah, yeah, I've watched another one. I planned to give it one last chance before dropping it but then Oshi no Ko had the gall to drop the best episode since the prologue. I still have some issues with it but I think it did a great job characterising Akane (and Yuki, too), making her relatable and sympathetic. What helped a lot was that Aqua was barely present in this one. You know what guys, I don't think I like Aqua very much. Which is a shame, because acting and film stuff in this series interests me more than idol stuff. Methinks I should look for some anime/manga about acting.
Skip and Loafer (ep. 7) - The highlight of this episode was seeing the drama club pres guy actually doing something decent for a change. And of course we have a brand new character introduced in the last minutes of the episode. I guess she's either Shima's family or one of the people he met when he was an actor. I wonder how will this plot develop and how will this person be neutralised by Mitsumi. Or hey, maybe she won't be! There are some people with whom you just don't get along, and I don't see that a lot in anime, I don't think.
Heavenly Delusion (ep. 6-7) - We got less school and more Maru and Kiruko's adventures, I'm definitely fine with that. Episode 6 had some great jokes, faces and cuts of animation, and episode 7 on the other hand got really disturbing towards the end. I like how this series treats the characters' sexuality (so far) - I mean, they're kids, they're figuring things out, and it's presented with honesty you don't often see. These episodes were also a bit thinner on plot elements and mysteries, but I liked that. I guess it could be a breather before what comes next.
Hell's Paradise (ep. 7) - Last week I speculated, that something major was going to happen this episode. That... turned out to be wrong, more or less. We now know a little bit more about the island and the elixir of life, but the majority of the episode was devoted to lighter character moments. So now I don't even know what I should expect next week. To be honest Jigokuraku is also close to falling off my watchlist but I'll give it one more chance.
Insomniacs after school (ep. 4-6) - Aaaand I caught up to Insomniacs. I think it's growing on me - the side characters were nicely fleshed out in the recent episodes and the relationship between the two leads is cute (not my top ship of the season, but they're nice kids!). Am I really going to watch another romance series this season? I almost never watch them!
I skipped Yamada-kun this week, but I'm definitely coming back to it next time. And finally:
Spy x Family (ep. 10-12) - Ok, two things: 1) Bill Watkins (6) was even better than whatever I was picturing before watching the episode and the whole game of dodgeball was a riot. 2) And then episode 11 had some brilliant Anya Starlight Anya moments. I can't wait to see the pupper. Thankfully I don't have to wait three months, I can jump right in the second cour. Episode 12 was kind of a weak follow-up to the two preceding episodes and a weird finale to the whole season, but the penguins were cute. So really, it's impossible to say if it was good or bad.
And that's it from me! Thanks so much for reading, have a great week and see you next Saturday!

Watch and Rewatch List
Tagged by @mygeekcorner 😘
Taking my time to get to all these tag games because I was waiting to be on my laptop instead of answering on mobile :p
The last quarter of 2022 was quite rough on me and to wade through tough times it’s always comfortable to rewatch stuff instead of watching new ones, but this is good enough, I think. At least I’m making progress on my to-watch lists.
Watching (airing) 
Spy x Family second cour (can you tell, I’m obsessed with Anya? She’s my gremlin child <3)  
Bungo Stray Dogs season 4 (only one episode and I’m already in love with this season because I can see Odasaku again and young Fukuzawa. Also we waited four years for this!!!!!!) 
Blockbusters Netflix (started watching it because of Melissa Fumero but it got boring after a few episodes so I’m watching it slowly)
Watching (complete)
Bleach Thousand Year Blood War (loved the new animation, it was so gorgeous but they could have done better with the OSTs. the first 50 episodes of the original Bleach is still unmatched)
Knives Out: Glass Onion (my blog is slowly morphing into Benoit Blanc stan account)
Wednesday Netflix (I’m so happy they’re getting a second season <3)
Enola Holmes 2 (a bit draggy in the middle but it was alright.)
Rewatching
Community (specifically season 1-4. This is where the show reaches its unhinged peak and idk their messed up found family is everything to me <3)
Stranger Things (hehe you know why)
The Good Place (saw a gifset of Ted Danson having existential crisis and felt like rewatching it)
Upcoming shows/Shows I plan to watch
My Hero Academia (stopped somewhere in the middle of season 4 or 5 I can’t remember, and now the villain arc is almost complete I guess I should catch up)
The Way of Househusband anime on Netflix (the new season just dropped!! I actually don’t like the animation but I have a thing for the VA so I’m sucking it up lol plus it’s funny af)
Alice in Borderland (my friend sent me a screenshot of a shirtless Yamapi. I’m sold.)
Russian Doll season 2 (Natasha Lyonne my love I’m so sorry I haven’t gotten around this yet. I’ve been busy teehee)
Tagging @harrringtons @terraether @punkharringtxn @tinxies @olyollyoxenfree @kaileycheyenne779 @nelotegreitic @imadetheline no pressure <3

Sorry about the delay... 😅 I was having some phone troubles, but it's fixed now! 😄 Let's us finally talk about episode 12 of Spy X Family (the last episode of Cour 1)...! 😁
It was an ABSOLUTE DELIGHT!!! 😍😍😍
Tumblr media
Episode 12 covers the first Extra Mission and Short Mission 1, and I thought it was a great way to end the first half of the season!! 😄 I mean...
Tumblr media
It's one of my favorite chapters of the manga simply because the whole Forger family gets to work together in a way...! 😊 And I just LOVE this scene so much!! 💗:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even though what happened in episode 11 probably should've been the last episode of this Cour, I'm perfectly fine with this being the last episode until October...! 😊
Anyway, let's talk about some changes in this episode!! 😄 First off, in the anime, it's starts with Twilight getting his next mission from that old woman at the train station (which the anime made me care actually about her as a character...) But in the manga, the Extra Mission started out like this:
Tumblr media
I'm not sure why they took this scene out and changed it to what the anime did, but I really don't mind the change at all!! 😁
Besides that change and addition in the beginning, the only other changes that I remember noticing were these two dialog changes:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I can't remember exactly what was said in the anime, but I do know that what was said in both of these scenes were different...! 😅
And that's pretty much all I remembered being different in the anime... So, yeah...! 😄
Since this is the last episode of this half of the season, I'm little sad that we have wait until October to see next set of episodes...
Tumblr media
But I'm also very excited for the second Cour of episodes!! 😊
Tumblr media
Anime only Spy X Family fans, I'll see y'all in the fall...!! 😁 As those who read the manga, I'll be seeing you soon!! 😊 Take care everyone and I'll leave you all with a picture of Anya's smile...!! 💗💗💗 Peace!! ✌😊

There's also some information on the airing of Cour 1 and 2 that *may* give an idea of when Season two may start, that I found while looking to see where my DVD of Season 1 part 1 of Spy X Family came from.
Spy X Family's official website, Spy-family.net, has everything, including information about the gifts that are included in the Limited edition DVDs to the Airing Schedules for Spy X Family in the whole of Japan.
Though it's in Japanese, if you have a webpage translator on your browser, it translates really well.
It details that the 'second cool broadcast of Spy X Family will start on Saturday, October 1st, at 10pm unless you are watching on TV Shizuoka, or the others listed after that, when it airs on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday respectively.
I'm not sure if it's a mistranslation and means when the show first started airing, though, because it also says Cour 1 and 2 aired on TV Tokyo for the new year from the 1st-3rd of January, then adds dates for various Japanese channels from July 4th to October 29th for Cour 1 in 2023.
Crunchyroll first started airing Spy X Family as a Premium tier locked Anime on April 9th, 2022, although it doesn't mention Crunchyroll as one of the streaming services on the official website, it says that the series will start airing from October 1st, though it says that is subject to change.
This would fit with most anime Schedules, as Most Anime starts again in May-June, then has a mid-season break and returns in October.

New ‘Spy x Family’ Season 2 Trailer
Tumblr media
Spy x Family took the anime scene by storm when it made its debut, but it had a lot of ground to cover in its first season. Apart from the world-building and contextual cues, there were also the character backgrounds of Loid, Yor, and Anya Forger to surface.  Now that the core cast, setting, and central conflicts are established, it seems things will be picking up steam when the series returns on 1 October. A new trailer for its second cour begins on a tense note, with the arrival of a terrorist bomber threatening to disrupt world peace. As usual, Loid has to put a stop to his plans, but the serious narration and increased action mean there’ll be higher stakes at play. The second cour of Spy x Family is due to arrive on 1 October. The first part premiered on 9 April and came with the following synopsis: “Master spy Twilight is the best at what he does when it comes to going undercover on dangerous missions in the name of a better world. But when he receives the ultimate impossible assignment—get married and have a kid—he may finally be in over his head! Not one to depend on others, Twilight has his work cut out for him procuring both a wife and a child for his mission to infiltrate an elite private school. What he doesn’t know is that the wife he’s chosen is an assassin and the child he’s adopted is a telepath!“   Read the full article

December 2022
Tumblr media
(Series: Aohal Devil | Artist: YUFOU)
No. of Reviews: 4
Fall anime season has ended and I have a lot of catching up to do. There were plenty of shows that aired this season that I was interested in but didn’t watch because I thought I’d be better off watching them when they were done. I think I‘ll start with Bocchi the Rock.
Digimon Ghost Game: Sadly, I ended up putting Ghost Game on hold after episode 52. When I started to watch this show weekly, I decided that I would put it on hold if I ever found myself dreading watching it which happened on the morning that episode 53 came out. I’d been starting to get bored with the shows formula for a while and was frustrated with the shows insistence on adhereing to it despite hinting at cool things. Episode 52 was the one that broke the camel’s back. It’s not like it was a particularly bad episode on it’s own but I was so annoyed that the show had been hinting at a new development and that new development was... warp evolutions from rookie to ultimate with no new animations, as well as a new field for them to battle in. That would be annoying on it’s own but it then decided to spend 3 episodes on showing off the boring transformation sequences and new settings and it was too much for me. I probably won’t be picking it up again until it finishes and I hope I will be able to enjoy it again after a break but it makes me sad that it got to this point.
Delicious Party Precure: I’ve been looking forward to watching this one since the start of the year but I held off because I worried that watching it weekly would lead to me getting bored with the formula quicker and I wanted to watch other Precure series this year and I knew that I wouldn’t be able to do that if I was already watching this one weekly. This month, I finally got around to watching it and it was definitely worth the wait. I love the focus on food and enjoying it. I remember one of the things that I hated about Kirakira was how it solely focused on sweets and I like that Delicious Party has a variety of foods that it focuses on. I love the characters and how a lot of the episodes aren’t just filler and also serve to develop those characters or the plot. I also appreciate that while there is some romance, it doesn’t take over the plot and doesn’t become a source of drama. And, of course, the voice actors are all doing an amazing job. I really like this series and I’m excited to see how it ends.
Gundam Witch from Mercury: I don’t have much to say about this one. I’m still really enjoying each episode, and as long as neither of the leads get killed off in the final episode of the first cour, I will be excitedly awaiting the second cour. I won’t be able to fully give an opinion on this show until it’s complete but I am really enjoying it so far.
Spy x Family Part II: I found this part weaker than part 1 and I’m not entirely sure why. I suspect it’s because a lot of the episodes adapted multiple chapters of the manga and these chapters often did not mix well together and made the episodes feel more like a straightforward adaptation rather than something that stands on it’s own as an anime, which isn’t an issue that I had with the first part. That being said, the anime really stuck the landing with a fantastic final two episodes: one that was adorable with two parts that easily melded together and one that ramped up the tension, gave some development for Damien, and set up good hype for season 2.
HiDive is really looking tempting lately, especially with the upcoming Tsundere Villainess Lieselotte anime, but Crunchyroll has just the edge to keep me subscribed with the Precure and Digimon series. Next season, I’ll be watching Bofuri 2, Danmachi 4 part 2 and The Misfit of Demon King Academy 2. Hope to also be watching Magical Revolution but it’s gonna depend on my schedule. I did watch the first season of In/Spectre but I probably won’t be watching the second weekly as I didn’t care for it that much.
List of Reviews:
Astrea Record 1
Aohal Devil 1
Broken
Bokutachi, Watashitachi wa, ‘Honki no Benkyou’ ga Shitai
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I’m currently 25% through the second volume of Astrea Record so that I can start next year on a high note so that’ll be the first review that I do next year.

My Personal Top Ten Anime of 2022
Between the new adaptations, sequels, movies, and original properties, there have been plenty of good shows that I feel anyone can dig into. To keep from taking up dashboard space, I’ll provide the list below with a break that will contain my thoughts on each title. This is also not ordered from best to worst, rather from what I would unabashedly say is great to it is good but may have some caveats to keep in mind.
Also, I tried my best to not to be repetitive, but it was difficult given how many shows on this list were mostly comedies to a degree.
(Top Ten of 2021)
Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
Lycoris Recoil
Bocchi the Rock!
My Dress-Up Darling
Spy x Family
Princess Connect! RE: Dive S2
Love After World Domination
Skeleton Knight in Another World
Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
Chainsaw Man
1. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury
While the first cour has not finished, I feel confident in saying this is my #1 favorite anime of the fall season. I honestly could not have expected this installment in the Gundam franchise to surprise me as much as it has. Starting off strong with the opening prologue and never losing its momentum while shifting gears to a high school setting that is mired with corporate politics and intrigue, and the occasional giant robot fight; the Witch from Mercury comes off as a worthy successor to the franchise.
2. Lycoris Recoil
Looking back on everything to have come out this year, Lycoris Recoil remained my favorite show of 2022. Between a memorable and likable cast and the excellent action set pieces, this original series stands out in my mind as being among the best in the subgenre of buddy cop stories, let alone the second best anime of the year.
3. Bocchi the Rock!
For being an adaptation of a four-panel manga, CloverWorks came out swinging in how they combined the main character’s neuroses with the kind creative imagination that can only be expressed through animation, as well as other mediums, to great comedic effect. Hitori Gotoh’s journey toward breaking out of her anxiety shell is as relatable as it is entertaining. Plus, the music is great, too.
4. My Dress-Up Darling
The second CloverWorks adaptation to make this list is one which caught me by surprise in how much I got out of it. Putting aside the romantic comedy aspect–which is among the better ones I have seen–what resonated with me the most is how it presents both primary characters as human beings who fall into archetypes.
5. Spy x Family
Last but not least of the CloverWorks adaptations is one of the most entertaining comedy/action/thriller anime to come out this year. And I feel it’s the most well-rounded in regards to balancing such a mixture of genres.
6. Princess Connect! RE: Dive S2
Of the sequel series I have watched this year, the show that’s meant to promote a game finishes off its story and ties up its threads, giving finality to its cast. It’s funny, heartwarming and heartbreaking, and features some of the best animation and music that should not be overlooked.
7. Love After World Domination
While My Dress-Up Darling strikes a good balance between the romance and the comedy, Love After World Domination leans more toward the latter in its spoof on the tokusatsu genre to great effect with its simple premise.
8. Skeleton Knight in Another World
The one isekai to make my list gives off similar vibes to other satirical stories from the subgenre, and I had so much fun with it. One’s mileage may vary with shows like this, so I will not say too much more about it.
9. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
With no requirement needed to have played Cyberpunk 2077, Studio Trigger does well with the setting and tells a good story that can be viewed as a stark contrast to everything else I have watched this year. It is grim, it is unrelenting; it’s melancholy at its finest. There are no heroes in Night City. Only survivors.
10. Chainsaw Man
This may appear to be sacrilege to some, but I have a reason why I placed this adaptation of Chainsaw Man last. I can say that I did like the series on the whole and how it was presented. The director’s cinematic eye for storytelling is fine, even if the pacing is methodical and decompressed at times. Which I can understand as being a turn-off for some folks and any die-hard fans of the manga. I do look forward to a second season, whenever that will be.

Impossible not to wince at the possible devastation that Yor and Anya could feel losing Loid in such tragic circumstances.

THIS SCENE COMES FROM LOID POV TOO
(and if someone said something different I won't listen)

After people said that this scene of Yor comes from Loid POV,I don't want to think in any different way.
How Yor turned in seconds,maybe thinking it was another person looking at her but in the moment she realized it was Loid that tiny spark in her eyes and that smile who her scarf hides is so heartwarming to me.
