Manga Check-in: D.Gray-Man vol. 16 ch. 157-160

Chapter 157 reread: I don't remember much details about what happened last, just that the Black Order was attacked and there was a lot of fighting and near deaths and also real ones.
Kanda and Allen are back at it with their bickering even while injured. X'D
Lavi: "Next thing I knew, they'd wagered their hair. Now it's turned into an all-out brawl."
Lmao at everyone's reactions to Lenalee's blood bracelets. At least she'll always have blood to spare because of her period.
Chapter 158: Some interesting perspective on the Noahs and their dynamics. Tyki has an older brother named Sheril (or Cheryl, or Cyril or...) who married a woman with fragile health in order to adopt Road.
Allen was 'the 14th, revealed to be the pianist'. Count doesn't know why he let him live that night.
I guess the Earl's looks have changed??
Chapter 159: wtf happened to Arystar??
Allen with long hair ahhh. Miranda should've braided it. And Kanda and Lavi got shrunk!!
They're leaving the castle HQ and building their next place? Was there no other castle to take over?
I almost passed out wheezing when Lenalee and Bookman got hit with the potion again and started meowing.
Chapter 160:
🤣❤️️
space saver
The Head Nurse is so scary normally they didn't even notice anything off until she bit Allen;;
Lmao at their reaction to Miranda biting Marie. Side-note, why did they have so much trouble drawing him in the anime? Ack.
I DIDN'T NOTICE THAT TIMCAMPI HAS TWINTAILS I CAN'T
I laughed so hard at the extra comic about Hoshino-sensei and her sister when they were little. 😆
June Movie PTW List
Jun. 11th, 2025 04:11 pmbluapapilioUsing my movies boardgame.
I completed all the movies in my last challenge and had a pretty good time! I rated Unwelcome the highest at 4/5 stars and The Worst Witch second highest at 3 1/2 stars.
Avatar: Fantasy (re-draw a prompt once)
Roll #1
A 9, prompt: non-US centric. Picked Phenomena, a 2023 Spanish film.
Roll #2
Another 9, prompt: LGBTQ+. I Saw the TV Glow.
Roll #3
A 10, prompt: longest titled. I think I did this last time but I shuffled and chose from the first page, which ended up being Professor Marston and the Wonder Women.
Roll #4&5
A 1, the luck ran out? Oh shit it really ran out, trap tile time... Okay a 2. 😭 Prompt: highest rated. So this is sorta cheating since I already watched like 80% or so of it but it's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Actually I might just rewatch from the beginning or skim.
Roll #6&7
A 10 and right back on the trap tile WTF, is this pick on me hour? A 9, prompt: came out within the last year. Fear Street: Prom Queen!
Roll #8
An 8, prompt: comedy element. Hmm I'll give 2011's Detention a go.
Roll #9
A 6 and the end. Reward is... My mood sucks this is too hard I'll just pick something under the adventure tag...and that's Jurassic World Rebirth.
Most looking forward to watching: Jurassic World Rebirth because dinosaurs.
Least looking forward to watching: Professor Marston and the Wonder Women because I don't know fully what to expect.

June TV Shown PTW
Jun. 5th, 2025 04:58 pmbluapapilioUsing my TV Show PTW boardgame.
Last time I completed 7/10 of the ones on my list. I was much more in a cartoon mood so when all that was left was not that I lost steam and ultimately made the choice to move on.
Avatar: Stranger Things (move two extra tiles one time, only works on trap tile if I roll even)
Roll #1
Ironic I got Stranger Things as my avatar when that's one of the shows I couldn't watch last time. 😅
I rolled and got an 8, but I see that's the PTW and I don't want that sooo using my skill already to make it 10. Prompt: mostly blue cover. I can't tell if the cover is blue or blueish green but whatever, Danny Phantom it is! I'll probably end up rewatching because I didn't mark in my trakt anything but episode 1...
Roll #2
A 9, prompt: weapon on the cover. Helluva Boss!!
Roll #3
FML a 2 and that's the PTW square again I knew this was going to happen I just knew it. Ended up going through my list and removing a few movies that should've been on my letterboxd and putting the sort setting on random. Generated a 21 and that's Invader Zim! I would've been about 13 when it came out, I wasn't watching much TV then as I got my first PC. I'm excited to see a piece of culture I missed out on!
Roll #4
A 1?? Whatever man... Prompt: fantasy creatures. Took me a minute but I picked out She-ra, It's been way too long since I watched it, by this point I generally know what happens.
Roll #5
A 2......prompt: favorite genre. Fantasy and I'm shoeing in Ninjago to make sure it gets in there.
Roll #6
An 8, prompt: weapon on the cover again. Miraculous Ladybug!
Roll #7
A 7 and the end. The reward could be either Cybersix or Dark... You know what, I need guaranteed happiness and that's Cybersix.
Where to watch:
Danny Phantom
Helluva Boss
Invader Zim
She-ra
Ninjago
Miraculous Ladybug
Cybersix

Alya's new haircut is cute.
Marinette continuing to put Adrien on a pedestal. She was so busy paying attention to the happy couple behind her that she slapped Adrien and stuck her fingers up his nose when he tried to kiss her, good lord.
Why did Alya/Nino run off to detransform when they transformed in front of everyone already?
Sometimes I feel like the new style is lovely and other times it just looks plain weird. The old style wasn't perfect either though.
I know this is being done on purpose to later show growth but it's so annoying. I'm too old to watch teens fumble around for too long at a time. 😅
Alya's voice seems more mature too, I like it.
"I don't know how to act like a loving couple" girl you grew up with one, your parents. She could've gone to them for help.
Marinette's lucky Lila didn't follow her when she went to transform;;
Camp Cretaceous 5x02
First I rewatched 5x01 where Kenji is reunited with his dad, everyone is worried he's evil, he convinces them he's not aaand at the end he blackmails Mae with the kids into helping him and Cash with his new plan.
I love how sweet Sammy and Yaz are with Kenji and helping him get ready. :') So hard watching his insecurity towards his dad knowing his dad is evil. 😓
Who are the people Darius' brother is getting help from??
I want to watch more now but I have other things to watch ahhh.
Ninjago 5x02
First rewatched episode 1. I was able to watch it on tubi here! Wu is opening a tea shop, the ninjas are still doing odd jobs, Lloyd misses his father. He's grown so much! Buut then he's possessed by Wu's former student Morro and the guys can't use their powers. Kai doesn't want to leave Lloyd but has no choice. They're all upset about having to fight and then leave their friend. I enjoyed the bits of humor and friendship/family in this episode, can't believe it took me this long to watch this show again.
Okay on to two, the fallout...
Wu gave up the scroll after copying its contents to save them all, the ninja go after Ronin who stole something Morro needs, and Wu+Misako reveal to Nya that she and Kai's mother was the water ninja and she needs to train in water to defeat Morro. They ultimately need to find Wu's father's burial place.
Cybersix E01
I was not expecting to be hit with such a lovely opening song! And the ending too. That was quite enjoyable. :D I watched it here on YouTube btw. I look forward to watching more!

Animation Check-in: The Owl House
Jun. 5th, 2025 02:08 pmbluapapilioThe Owl House 2x15-21
Pretty sure I forgot to mark some episodes watched on trakt but rewatching is fun!
2x15: The young Eda/Raine episode. I love their instant connection, and Raine came just in time because Eda's sister got so wrapped up in studying she grew apart from Eda.
2x16: The one where Luz and Hunter end up in Belos' mindscape, Luz finds out Belos=Phillip and Hunter finds out the truth about himself right before getting sucked into a hole. Hunter is so frickin' tragic.
2x17: Wow how far behind is my trakt?? I definitely remember at least a few episodes ahead of these events. It's the one where King gets the letter from 'his warrior family' and he and Luz go investigate. Eda crying over Luz and King being in danger. :'<
2x18: Badass Augustus episode. He saved the students from getting permanent sigils. Amity realizes Willow has changed. They did a very Sailor Moon like pose!
Aww they're so sweet. 😭❤️️
2x19: Poor King, from one disappointment to the next. Omg who draw those wanted posters, I love them.
Tubedemon!!
The bike guy Steve bawling at the two little old ladies in love. 😭
Oh, so Steve is Matt's brother.
2x20: Awwww the kiss episode. <3
2x21:
babiesss 😭
Aw Hunter blushed when Willow caught him. 😊
I definitely had not seen this episode. 😭😭😭
I'm sad there's only three episodes left since the show got cut off, but they're longer so that's something. I think I will stop here for now...as much as I hate to at that cliffhanger. x_x

Game Check-in: 🚇Honkai Star Rail
Jun. 5th, 2025 01:57 pmbluapapilio
Okay I started the quest where the group talks about the next location, then the POV switches to...Sunday!! I guess Jade let him go?? "Go now. You are free - O chosen one, who dared to exceed his bounds. Sever your wings, descend to the mortal realm, and walk their lands. See what this world is truly like."
So he's just been wandering around Penacony with this Wonweek and using Harmony so no one recognizes him.
Sunday's wings and hair are so fluffy I want to touch...
Wonweek, Workday...
Six year old Sunday tried to fly with his ear feathers. :')
I just realized he's not wearing his halo. *blink*
Was no one told that Jade freed Sunday?? Maybe it's purely about the fact that he came back to Penacony.
Why is no one concerned that Phantylia may have done something to Tingyun besides taking her place?? And Wonweek's reaction shouldn't have been dismissed, nor Tingyun's appearance change. I love her new look though, she's a really lovely character looks-wise.
So through a lot of work, Ruan Mei brought Tingyun back by giving her the choice to live even though she'll have Phantylia's scars on/in her forever. Wonweek probably saw the Destruction/Phantylia's mark when he tuned her. Ruan Mei is both terrifying and inspirational...
Who was the traveling merchant who saved Tingyun by bringing her to Ruan Mei and what did they give her in return??
What exactly happened to Tingyun's tail? I never expected to get this whole storyline for Tingyun. Apparently she was switched with Phantalyia a lot earlier than March thought. She does seem a lot different than the Tingyun we met, but then again this Tingyun's been through so much. I'm feeling quite affectionate towards her right now. :')
Why is so much left out of the translation? For every three sentences spoken there's one small line of text sometimes...
Tingyun and Yukong. 😭
I'm surprised the Harmony worked against Robin.
So Sunday severed his halo. 😭 At least he didn't cut off his wings. *shudder* I understand his reasoning for doing it though.
Sunday doesn't like frivolous people...I guess he wouldn't get along well one on one with March or even Caelus/Stelle depending on how you play them;;
The Harmonious Choir fight was too hard, I had to lower the difficulty (really grateful we can do that). Sunday got his halo back! And he joined the Astral Express! I thought I saw something about that in fandom but thought maybe it was a fanon thing or a spoiler so I avoided looking too close. Good to know it's true!
Looks like something is going on with Herta, wonder if we need to go to the Space Station before Amorpheus.
