Episode 24 of Season Two is a fucking masterpiece

Building up to episode 24 I was expecting something written with the purpose of being angsty, like a real tear jerker you know?

But what we got, oh god what we’ve received, it’s so much better than that

This episode was so much more sincere than I expected it to be- it wasn’t written to be sad: It was written to continue the the two season long arc of Osomatsu’s character development, it was written with purpose and love

And you can feel it, you can feel the love the staff put into this episode

First off, the animation is FUCKING GORGOUS in this episode

Like, this whole season has been a huge improvement when it comes to the overall quality of the art, lighting, and the overall smoothness and effort put into the animations

But this episode takes the cake

Everything is so beautiful to look at- watching them even do simple everyday tasks was euphoric

god

fuck

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON HOW BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN THIS EPISODE WAS HOLY SHIT

There’s just so much continuity, subtlety, attention to detail whan it comes to parrells between shots in this and other episodes

When Oso’s walking around aimlessly without his brothers, he passes by several different locations throughout town- these places are the exact same places he saw his brothers in episode two of season one

And in the sky, in the season one episode twenty four, they’re all conected by the same moon

But in this episode, there’s no moon at all, Oso is completely severred

GOD THIS EPISODE IS SO FUCKING DELICIOUS FINALL SOME GOOD FUCKING FOOD

and finally

the most important thing of all

WE FINALLY GOT A COMPLETELY OSO CENTRIC EPISODE

FUCK ME

His development from season one is absolutely some of the most amazing character growth I’ve seen in a long time

In Season One epsiode twenty four Osomatsu is:

- violent and irrational

- closed off emotionally

- ageinst the idea of getting jobs

- doesn’t take care of himself

- most likely (because of his low self awareness) he doesn’t really understand what it is he’s feeling

- let’s decisions of others affect his life

BUT NOW, ONE SEASON LATER, OSOMATSU IS:

- Coping with stress in a healthy manner

- Openly expressing

- The first to suggest getting a job to support their father

- Is bathing, eating, and even doing chores

- Has reflected upon his feelings

- Gaining enough confidence in himself to want to make decisions seperate from the group

And even though he’s still afraid of change, still suffering from his identity complex and from dissociation, evn though he’s lonely; he’s still able to handel the failing health of his father, isolation from his brothers, and a minimum wage job

Hes the best boy in the whole world

amen
