Watching Toilet-bound Hanako-kun episode 8, and we finally get Mitsuba's official introduction in the anime.
Mitsuba is a character that is very tragic. Bullied in elementary school for acting too girly and cocky much like we see him with Kou. Thus, he figured he would change his image in middle school, and he was very plain and proper. The sad reality is that this didn't improve things because no one reached out to him. Sure, he wasn't bullied, but he made no friends, and thus it isn't too surprising Kou didn't realize who Mitsuba was. After all the Mitsuba he sees is so much different from the one he knows.
To make matters worse in come Tsukasa. Where we learn he sort of similar to Amane in that he grants wishes, but he does so for supernaturals. Though the way Tsukasa grants wishes just feels cruel and there is something different compared to when Amane did so with Nene. You can even see that he was being extra careful with Nene. Where Tsukasa manipulated Mitsuba's wish of just wanting friends to want to be remembered in such a cruel way.
The real information drop is that we learn from Tsukasa is that the one Amane killed was Tsukasa. Though given they look alike, and the only difference is the patch being dark for Tsukasa compared to white for Amane. Hard to make too much out of it at this point.
The saddest part of the episode is what Hanako says to Kou. He couldn't fix Mitsuba like he did with Nene because Nene was still living. In life, you have the opportunity to accomplish your goals and dreams. Once someone dies, it is over. It sounds like it is very taboo to do what Tsukasa is doing. Though one key thing here is that along with the flashback of Mitsuba longing for a friend we get one with Amane in the flashback we saw before. It is safe to say that Amane has regrets and likely the things Tsuchigomori mentioned before.

From the author of Hibike and animated by Studio. Lots of similarities to Hibike though here it is with a Broadcasting club. Those that like SoL anime will prob like it.
A bit of a slow start to this, but overall a well executed episode. Hana is a very sweet girl, but very passive. It's by chance that Mizuki saw her and knew there was potential in Hana. I have to admit she was dedicated to recruiting Hana. Though the conversation Hana's mom had with Mizuki was very telling. Since she knows that her daughter is afraid of taking the next step. Mizuki being there who is pretty confident in her own.
I did not expect the performance from Hana toward the end. Minori Fujidera with a fantastic performance and animation really delivering to what Hana was saying. Mizuki knew she had to do anything that she could to recruit Hana now. You can truly tell everyone on the island adores Hana. Gives me a familiar feeling when watching Tonbo.
This really makes me wonder how creative this anime will be. It is not as visual beautiful as Hibike, but with the animation, I am curious what Studio Bind can do.

Having watched up to Episode 11 of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun.
As Nene meets Mitsuba for the first time, they are stuck being attacked by School Mystery #3. Though with Hanako unable to answer Nene's calls, instead we have Tsukasa answering Mitsuba's cry for help. Though what happens next is something most notable. Tsukasa one-shots School Mystery #3 even though his Yorishiro is still active. This really adds speculation in terms of who is Tsukasa because we know against Yako Hanako was struggling against her until her Yorishiro got removed.
It really speculates that Tsukasa is even more dangerous than we originally expected.
One big information tidbit learned from this episode is what are the uses of the boundaries for each of the school mysteries. As Tsuchigomori's boundary serves as school records as we saw during his arc. Yako's is space and that space can venture into other school boundaries. It is curious to learn more what are the uses of the others as the story progresses.
Hanako and Kou arrive quite late to the scene where they see Nene unconscious and Mitsuba looks different. This is because he basically ate the 3rd School Mystery and has taken over that role. Though there is a conflict between him and Hanako as Mitsuba wants to be human, which is his wish and regrets. Of course, we know that this Mitsuba is not the same one that Kou met a few episodes ago. As Tsukasa called it, it feels like an artificial ghost. The outside looks like Mitsuba and his personality remains intake. But memories and experiences are gone.
As we saw Tsukasa deal with #3 effortlessly, Hanako has his trouble against him. Which really raises the question of why is Tsukasa so strong? Though one really nice scene is Mitsuba saving Nene. In many ways, that showed the humanity of Mitsuba still lives inside as the time these two bonded borne fruit here. Though where Kou goes from here is interesting. Does he try to save his friend, or will he give up?
Also, what is Tsukasa's plan in general besides unleashing chaos. He has collected a school mystery on his side, but there is so much uncertainty between him, Sakura and their group.

Slowly turning into one of my favorites this season.
Tbh this was a weaker case then the previous. More so because Junko didn't decide to examine the video to see what that can do. We always joke about how people spend too much time on their phones. It kind of felt like Junko was lazy and ignorant. Granted, there are doctors who are like that, so I think that is more what this case was going for.
Though to learn she was Takao's former supervisor was interesting. Though to see them having an outing like that to have Takao banned seemed really extreme. Especially since Takao was right about that patient's symptoms. Having a talking to sounds like it would have been enough. Junko just comes across as a really shytty doctor. At least the answer was given to the twins. It is interesting how Manatsu wasn't affected by the video until her sister had the incident. Truly, the things stress can affect you can be scary.

So the idea of a fantasy series where the Mc discovers magic has me intrigued. Also, I wonder if we get more monologues from Marie going forward. Had its weird moments and character writing was off at times. Since for a 3-year-old, he felt more like an 8-year-old.
Though the incest undertones are apparent. It is like a give and take because the stuff of Marie wanting to be by Shion's side and protect him was cute. Though the things in the final scene felt a little too odd and slightly
. But the author prob excuses this because they are kids and kids don't know better.Overall decent first episode. Just hope the good stuff gets the bigger focus and the weird stuff doesn't overshadow it.
