Episode feelings live here.
You know when an episode ends and you are absolutely not ready to move on because somebody lied, somebody cried, somebody unlocked a new power, and the preview just had the audacity to make everything look worse? Hi. This is where I go.
A reaction tells you what happened, but I am not here to inventory every footstep and call it analysis. I want the character turn, the visual choice, the theme hiding underneath the fight scene, the joke that actually landed, the thing I loved, the thing I wanted to throw at the wall, and whatever suspicious little detail just got loaded into next week.
And because these are written while I am still watching, future RaeRae is occasionally going to discover that present RaeRae was confidently, spectacularly wrong. That is part of the fun.

A Reaction Roadmap
Every episode gets to be its own weird little creature, so this is not a rigid worksheet. But these are the four places my brain usually goes once the credits start rolling and I am sitting there wondering whether I should be responsible and go to bed. Spoiler: usually no.
Find a Reaction
Search by series, episode, character, arc, theme, or whatever piece of chaos sent you here. You can also use the alphabet if you remember the title but absolutely nothing else because you have been watching too many shows at once.
The Reaction Shelf
This is where all the episode-by-episode chaos actually lives. The shelf will get much larger as I work through more series, because apparently watching anime and writing paragraphs about every episode is not the most efficient hobby I could have chosen.
Series name, episode, title, date, and a clear path back to the series hub. Nobody should need detective skills just to figure out what they clicked.
