[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] Ceren is a bundle of a joy and a ray of light in the dark world of Fatamoru. I didn't expect this from my first impression, but she has genuine wisdom. The way she finds joy in the present moment, practices gratitude, & appreciates the beauty of living despite a hard life.

[Fatamoru SPOILERS] Jacopo has made me realize that I love male characters who are emotionally tortured/unstable, but beneath all of that lies a sensitive, caring soul. Turn it into commentary about the way boys are encouraged to cut off their feelings to become "men" and it's even better.

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] He has a heart! He cares! This is his real self. His true nature. I believe in his goodness. 🥹 I love you, my problematic fave.

Fatamoru: Requiem for Innocence. Jacopo is talking to Ceren. He tells her: "It's your life, and your body to take care of. It's no one's responsibility but your own."

Jacopo continues: "Do what you think is best for yourself, not what you think you should be doing for others."

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] AHHHHHHH, Requiem for Innocence is getting so good!!! I'm losing my mind. It's starting to make me feel how the original game made me feel. I love the psychological depth given to its characters. I love Morgana. I love these themes!! I love Fatamoru. 10/10 GOAT-tier story.

I've started watching Yuru Camp! 2 episodes in. Rin is very relatable to me. Her preference for solitude, to be immersed in nature by herself without having to be bothered by other people, is very similar to how I can be. She can be antisocial, but I get it.

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] Building on this, I think one of the beautiful things about watching Morgana insult Jacopo and generally be mean, is that it signifies she's losing some of the inhibition she feels that she *has* to be pure. In those moments, an "ordinary" Morgana starts to appear.

I can't stop thinking about this music. 😥 Why must happiness crumble? Why must we live in a world in which people suffer? In which tragedy occurs? Where cruel people inflict harm? Yet in that cruel world, things exist that remind you of goodness. Like the sound of a singing voice. Or the sky.

The Moon on a Rainy Night has yuri, a character with a disability, AND a focus on music. I should be ashamed of myself for having never read the manga (yet). It has all the ingredients to appeal to me.

Today is a great day to remind you that if you want to experience the magic of a true original in anime and get a taste of how Yuniko Ayana was already cutting loose earlier in her career, it's never the wrong time to check out Flip Flappers.

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] Halcyon days... This is such a beautiful scene. A precarious moment, made all the more tragic with the knowledge of what comes after. Requiem for Innocence is a very fitting title. 😥

Clouds are shown in the background as Jacopo lies on the grass, looking up and listening to Morgana sing. He narrates:

"Listening to her sing, I sprawled out on the grass.

The blue sky spread out above me as far as the eye could see, and as I gazed up into it, all my problems seemed to fade away.

That I lived in a dirty slum.

That the lord was digging his claws even deeper into the city.

That I was in the middle of a makeshift graveyard for those who had no one else.

It all just... disappeared.
I felt almost as though I had ascended to Heaven."

100

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] This made me laugh. 🤣 Never change Morgana.

Morgana talks to Jacopo in a graveyard. She says: "...For one, it's impossible for the dead to rest in "peace" with you around."

The graveyard scene in Fatamoru RFI has me convinced Morgana is a tsundere.

Not sure what I want to watch after Jaadugar... I'm thinking either Apothecary Diaries S2 (I still haven't watched it and now S3 has started 😭) Or Laid-Back Camp S1 (I like slice-of-life CGDCT iyashikei anime and I also love the outdoors... this seems to fit both perfectly)

After this last season of 2026 ends, I'll be hosting a best anime pout of the year tournament in the Laid-Back Camp discord server. The final roster is subject to change depending on how many good pouts we get in this last season, but here's the lineup so far. It's been a great year for POUTS.

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] I'm spamming Fatamoru posts. One more... All these references to smiling are heartbreaking. Especially thinking back to the final conversation between Morgana and Jacopo in the original game. 😭😭😭

A screenshot from Fatamoru: Requiem for Innocence. It shows the inside of the brothel. Morgana thinks to herself: "He could have let me go, but he didn't. He got angry, but he told me to stay. Put ointment on me. Smiled, even."

A screenshot of the graveyard. Jacopo thinks to himself: "Maybe she'll smile for once."

Jacopo continues thinking: "I'd like to see that. Someday."

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] RIP 🪦

A screenshot from Fatamoru: Requiem for Innocence. Jacopo complains that Morgana treats corpses better than she treats him. She replies: "You'd be correct. If you want me to be nice to you, go die."

[Fatamoru RFI SPOILERS] As someone with OCD and who struggles with intrusive thoughts, including sexual ones, this conversation feels a bit painful. I've been in therapy for this, and it's important to keep in mind that thoughts are just thoughts. Thoughts are not actions.

Screenshot from Fatamoru: Requiem for Innocence. Jacopo warns Morgana that men may assault her. The conversation continues:

Morgana: "...Appalling."
Jacopo: "Aren't they? Which is why you should be a little more careful."
Morgana: "You are an appalling man."
Jacopo: "Why am *I* appalling?!"
Morgana: "Because the thought crossed your mind."
