I think it was a bit of a missed opportunity not to have Matt Mercer voice Ambrosius, the spirit of creation. Loved Marrow and Winter in episode 12 - they're sassy. Penny's human now, but she's missing her boots and gloves. I expected Ironwood to go back to normal in episode 13 once his semblance was broken and he shouldn’t have been hyper-focused on his goal, but he’s still cuckoo for coco-puffs, blasting Jacques and trying to do the same to Winter. Vine was the next one to nope out of the plan, nearly getting killed for it as well. Harriet is dead set on killing Qrow and blowing up Mantle because “it’s what Clover would’ve done." If that’s true, then Clover was an even shittier person than I thought. Cinder apologizes to Neo and says Watts is getting what he deserves when he stays behind to sabotage comms and presumably kill more people. I don’t know, Cinder being nice just feels wrong. Next time, I guess we’ll see what happens when you fall off a platform and disintegrate. Really wish someone would’ve asked Ambrosius why they shouldn’t fall, because people did and are still going to. It was already enough of a problem landing in Vacuo and instantly hitting a sandstorm and attracting Grimm there, we didn’t need a bottomless pit too. We could’ve ended the volume with the Grimm showing up in Vacuo and having the showdown with Cinder there, and then started the next volume with Team SSSN and Team CFVY showing up to save the day and have part of the volume be about them (without repeating everything from the books, of course).
The Fruits Basket dub season 3 episode 1 dropped early, followed by a 10-minute Q&A with a few of the voice actors. Akito really went for it when she choke-slammed her mother, Ren. I didn't think they got that much air in the manga. I never thought about who might voice Akira (there will be another flashback with him, I'm sure), but it was Chad Cline, the original male voice of Akito. And Katelyn Barr (who voiced young Ritsu) voices Ren. Now that she’s had more lines, she doesn't sound as close to Akito’s voice as I’d first thought. Hanajima to the rescue - da da da da! Megumi has some good insights, even though he still feels the need to fake-perv on his sister's friends.
The DuckTales finale was kinda weird, but it made sense that they were building up to that. The end credits reminded me of the Kingdom Hearts end credits with all the characters doing things off to the side (in this case, free-falling from a plane). Speaking of Kingdom Hearts, that new version of the Final World cutscene from Melody of Memory. What purpose does this serve? I'm happy for them, of course, but they got them in the booth just for that? Well, they're all recording from home still, I'd imagine, but for one line each? They didn't even have to animate it because it was just static. Could they not see what was happening and that's why the debriefing became necessary? I would think the debriefing would have happened regardless. It's not like we see them waking her up. I also thought that Ven would've been normal, but it looks like he's been pure light all along. Can't wait to see how things wrap up next month, if they do at all in a satisfying way.
