I just think her design looks so good like this!!! I can't put my finger on why, it just fits so well and looks amazing! I love her changing the colors up and stuff, but this one's my favorite. 🖤

I can't stress enough how much I love this show. I've seen it at least twice now, and decided to compile a personal guide of my own. This was mostly to help me navigate through it on rewatches, but figured I'd also share it with everyone else. Each column is its own season, starting from the first 4 in the top half, and the last 3 are the bottom half.

Some could argue whether some arcs are needed or not, but some of these that I labeled as essential were purely because I thought the episodes were way too good to just skip over (like the Deserter episode, for example). Essential is a mix of "main story" episodes, and a handful of episodes I just can't ever see myself skipping (because they're just that good).

I didn't care much for the Beast and Ziro arcs, so there's not much of that here (same with filler arcs like droid and politics arcs).

The Supporting Jedi Episodes I highlighted have to do with Jedi whom we see fall in Order 66 that got some character development. Watching those makes the inevitable purge all the more heart-wrenching, hence why I added them (they're also quite good episodes on their own).

The Boba Fett arc I wouldn't call "main story" material, but not only are the episodes themselves great, they also directly tie into one of my favorite episodes in the show "Assassin," which means it's mandatory viewing for me.

I personally really liked the political episodes with Padmé and Satine, hence why I included them, but they can be skipped as they're not "main story" episodes.

The Anakin episodes I highlighted are some of the best in the show and reveal his path to the dark side in a new light. I wouldn't call them "main story episodes" though.

The Anakin x Padmé episodes are there because I'm a romantic and I just couldn't help myself.

Ahsoka episodes are there because she's my favorite Star Wars character. 🧡

I'd only watch the Bad Batch episodes if you care to watch the Bad Batch show afterwards, as it's a prologue to it. They're great episodes on they're own, they just don't have to do with the main story of Clone Wars.

Anyway, what do you guys think? What are some of your favorites? (:

So yesterday, May 11th 2026, I decided to go to Boston, MA to watch my favorite music star, Miku. This review will detail everything leading up to the event, and the event itself (I'll keep the setlist spoiler free, of course!)

I'm from Orlando, but I've traveled plenty of times before, so this wasn't anything too new for me. My sister and I are huge Miku and Vocaloid fans, and we've been wanting to go to one of these for a while. Lo and behold, this venue had two seats smackdab in the middle of Row A, which was only like, 5 rows from the very front!! I looked at her and said, "Those seats were meant for us!!" So we decided to get them and go for it, because why not!?

Traveling through Boston was an absolute nightmare, but the moment we entered the venue, literally none of that mattered. Once the show started, we could hear the enormous cheer of the hundreds of fans behind us, eagerly waiting to see our precious girl!! Once she showed up, we all lost it!!

To say that the opening performance was electric is the understatement of the century. We were so close to the front to where the bass was vibrating our chest and was deafening our ear drums!! I felt like I was being taken on an intense amusement park ride, and I was SO HERE FOR IT!! I'm a huge roller coaster junkie, so adrenaline like this just exceeded all expectations!!

Seeing Miku herself was so emotional for me. I grew up with Miku around middle school when one of my oldest friends had introduced me to her music. There was something about her voice that brought a joy to my heart that I just couldn't explain. It brought a feeling of "I'm home, and we're going to be okay." That exact feeling I felt once again here. That feeling of overwhelming nostalgic joy that can't be put into words. Hearing Miku's voice at a CONCERT felt like I was in a dream. By the time we got back to the hotel, that's exactly what I told my sister. "I feel like we just came out of a dream, and I'm still trying to remember everything that happened." Throughout the whole concert, I was just in the moment. I didn't try to pay attention to the smaller details or overanalyze anything (which is typically what I do when it comes to entertainment media and the like). As a result, the main thing I remembered from that whole event wasn't the music, or who I saw, or what I saw. Only that I wish it hadn't ended so soon, and that I didn't want to leave.

Many people online have been back and forth about the use of "TV screens" for displaying Miku and friends, rather than the traditional "hologram" of her Japan concerts. Let me be the first to tell you that I didn't give a rats butt about any of that, and it didn't ruin my experience in the slightest. When the first song started, I wasn't thinking about the fact that she was on a screen. I was thinking about the fact that I was hearing and seeing our precious girl Miku on stage for the first time in our lives, and that I couldn't be happier. The screen didn't lessen my enjoyment of getting to see her in the absolute slightest, and I'd be more than happy to go and see her 300x over in this way.

Every single one of the main Vocaloid cast got their time to shine, and my sister and I loved getting to see them. I'm a huge Luka fan, so seeing her had me screaming. My sister's favorite is Rin (and Len of course), and it made her super happy to see them perform too. Out of the many songs they sang, I only knew two of them (which were among my favorites ever), while my sister knew three. If there was ANYTHING about the event that we would've changed, it would've been to hear more songs that we recognized. My sister and I are from the older "golden" age of Miku, with things like "World is Mine," and "Melt," and "Cendrillon" and stuff like that. The more recent stuff we're unfamiliar with as a result. But even STILL, that didn't matter to us at all!! Every single song chosen was electrifying, concert fun, and we wouldn't have changed a thing about it. Some songs I even loved so much to where I added them to my Miku playlists!!

The image attached to this post was my favorite of the ones I took. Seeing her in that dress melted my heart in a way I can't explain. "That's our precious angel," I would think to myself. Miku's lyrics in her songs that I enjoy most have often spoken directly to things that I would deal with in my life. As a result, she was a means through which I could better reflect on my life, and what things I could do better. That it didn't matter what awful things came my way, I would continue to go through life with joy, and that I wouldn't give up. She was a huge part of my childhood, and it's now been brought back to light.

I cannot WAIT for Miku Expo 2028. I'll be there right in the front, same as before. Here's hoping she comes to Florida, next time! 😭
