Normally I avoid recap episodes like the plague. This is usually because whatever show it is was something that aired a long time ago and I'm binge watching the entire thing. Nothing is more frustrating than spending an extra 22 minutes watching a recap to something you just watched. But this time I'm actually watching Honzuki no Gekokujou as it's airing and boy oh boy do you feel those months in between seasons. Coming back to a show with this intricate of a narrative I was tempted to go rewatch the entire first two seasons. Thankfully I didn't have to when I saw there werethese nice short recap episodes. Perspective is an amazing thing, huh.

These do a great job summarizing the key points of the narrative and helping you remember all the characters. I grew a new appreciation for these kinds of recaps and how it can quickly help you get back into a show that hasn't aired in a while. Still never gonna watch a recap for a 12 episode show that aired in between episodes 9 and 10. That's cancer.
