Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

the best op/Ed combo in anime history is the first season of yu yu hakusho and there’s no close second

It's Irresponsible Captain Tylor, and the fact that you picked Yu Yu Hakusho indicates to me that if you watched Tylor you would agree.

the English version upping the tempo into a house beat was a bold choice that paid off, but I like the Japanese disco-y version a lot too

What's cool is IIRC the YYH dub was something like the second or third big project for Funimation and they just knocked it out of the park with a dub that in some ways is superior to the sub imo, coming off the weird rear end stuff in DBZ I don't think even 14 year old Soup saw that coming lol

If you've seen everything up to where the FINAL SEASON PART 2 leaves off then you should get it by now. Is it the mechanics of it you're having problems with?

The Founding Titan's power can only be used by someone with royal blood, which Zeke has, so as long as Zeke is touching Eren's head then Eren can manipulate the Founding power which he inherited. Zeke spends so much time in the paths learning to navigate inherited memories, without realizing that he's not the one in command of the founder's power. The royal blood is his only leverage over Ymir, which turns out to be a misconception. The choices were always Ymir's to make, and she accepts Eren's reasoning. Because Eren was able to manipulate his father's memories through the Paths, the same way King Fritz manipulated the memories of everyone on Paradis, it creates a circular loop where his plan was always going to come to fruition. Eren lives with the curse of this foreknowledge from the moment he kisses Historia's hand and accesses all of his father's memories - which include the parts where his future self manipulates his dad into killing the Reiss family. He's not just time-cucking his dad, he time-cucked himself.

It's supposed that the real unique power of the Attack Titan is that it inherits memories from the future, but I suppose what's really happening is Eren's use of the Founder's power to manipulate the memories of past Attack Titans by showing them visions of the future the same way he did to his dad and, apparently, Eren Kruger. Once he can manipulate past memories through the Paths then he's retroactively manipulated history to reach his desired destination. He's history's victim and architect, and he lacks the vision to do something greater with this power because he's a juvenile fascist.

Yuri, but barely, and with caveats

Kei is an incredible character and this show's best bits derive from her being a habitual line-stepper and escalating the situation, but she's also frightening and Yuri seems nice and stable and is capable of doing my family's taxes or whatever

My wife only saw 2 episodes and says that "the red-haired one is incredible" and said that Yuri was generic. A house divided!

i thought that he knows that she loves him, he just thinks that it's because she's an Ackerman. although i guess part of the message of the final twists is that love may not be sacred, but it is real, even when it has the worst possible cause

When Mikasa says she thinks of Eren as family, she actually means it. Even if there is something romantic there, it could never be sexual because she has grown up with Eren since childhood. She owes her life to him more than anybody else, and that's what's really driving her devotion. It's not even certain if Eren has genuine romantic feelings for Mikasa so much as he wants what's best for her and the rest of his friends - which is his one truly consistent motivation. The relationship he has with Mikasa, however it could be, would be way more complicated than whatever he's comfortable with. Eren is a simplistic thinker who wants to keep things simple, and christmas boots has the right of it that he'd rather do what he thinks he has to do than deal with the emotional anguish of pursuing a relationship. He has a simplistic idea of freedom, which is being free of restraint, and a simple solution for it, which is to kill or destroy anything that gets in the way of self-actualization. It's easier to be a fascist than to deal with the world as it is.

I could go further but it would involve manga spoilers. Eren's a selfish little punk, and a coward.
