Don't get me started. After watching a really good episode or turn my head away form the screen I feel this sudden snap back in reality. It takes me a good couple of seconds to remember what I was doing, where I am at and if their is anything else I need to do during the day. I even had times where my phone was ringing and I was completely zoned into the anime. After, ill self reflect and ask my self how good the anime is so far. I swear some anime are just so damn good, you wish you lived in that realm. I do agree! When watching A really good anime or reading A good novel and A character dies that you really like, it's extremely difficult to recover from. Same goes when a phenomenal anime series comes to an end. Even after a few days or months, sometimes years, you will still think back upon it.

So glad to know I'm not the only who's overly invested in anime....feeling that way is a kinda of a bliss and curse...it's a feeling of sadness that you get addicted to.. *Cries thinking about Oregairu and your lie in april*...

Personally I find that watching anime is a way in which I can deal with normal life. Sometimes being able to just sink yourself into a series is the only way to cope. I also find this with light novels as well. However, if I find a really solid series and it ends... I just cant bring myself to start something else almost as if my brain has to deal with the loss of characters in my life. In some respects I think people mourn the loss of well written characters regardless of medium

This most recent ep was one of the series’ best as we’re finally getting some insight into Joker who has been one of the most enigmatic characters since way back in episode 2 of the first season. I actually went back & rewatched episodes 2 & 3 (S1) and then the 2 most recent episodes trying to put the pieces together. While he has used the enemy-of-my-enemy tact in his attempts to recruit Shinra & Beni, I honestly don’t think he cares if his “allies” find the answers they’re looking for or even survive as long as they’re useful to him. Beni is really suspicious of his attempts to recruit him at first, but then Joker blows a cloud of smoke his direction & he becomes more open to it, causing Joker to smirk. Didn’t think much of it the first time through, but after learning his cigarette smoke can mess with people’s minds, can’t help but see it as something more. While it was suggested that Beni was immune, it seems more like he can use his powers to burn toxins from his system since he did succumb to the priest’s poison at first. And after purging it he started getting more suspicious of Joker again. Benimaru has his reasons for wanting to topple the current establishment, but by his own admission ultimately just wants the people he cares about to be safe & happy. But again Joker doesn’t really seem to care if his actions result in a better world, he primarily wants to expose & destroy the corrupt establishment & become powerful enough that no one will ever be able to hurt & abuse him again. Considering the way he’s been treated, he honestly had no choice but to adopt his lonewolf philosophy, but I’m still hesitant to apply the anti-hero label to him just yet. And it seems like a confrontation between him & Beni and/or vs Shinra round 2 seems inevitable. And then there’s this connection between him & Burns that will apparently be addressed next. The two of them can sense each other’s presence when they use their powers (Joker in the flashback from when he left The Shadows & Burns during the rookie competition back in episode 3). My theory is their missing eyes are a result of a fight between the two of them in the past. Looking forward to seeing how it affects my current perspective on the two.
