r/Animorphs

Read up till around book 20 as a kid, now doing a full readthrough and omg Cassie morphed a WHAT?!

This is the most shocked I've been thus far, yeah the Elfangor/Tobias thing was kind of a twist but can't say it was a huge surprise to me, it was the (il)logical conclusion to Elfangor encountering humans in the first place. Aldrea was the same, it was fairly predictable she would become a nothlit.

But this, this is so genius and so wild at the same time, Marco would have gone clinically insane if he was there when the plan was made (and Ax would have submitted a formal complaint)

At the end of 32: The Separation, where Nice Rachel and Mean Rachel simultaneously acquire and morph each other to turn back into Whole Rachel. My personal headcanon is struggling to resolve how this is not structurally close enough to be considered at least a deviation of the Frolis Maneuver, if not straight up quantum theory (the two bodies/personalities entering into a mutual superposition). Multiple DNA samples are collected and even though they are not different, they are fused together, producing a single entity or morph as a result.

ps: I'm aware it's just a narrative choice to tell the story but the parallels are there

pss fun fact: >!Rachel gets acquired 5 times! Once by Ax, once by Cassie and once by Elena, the blind girl from book 50. Rachel also acquires herself twice, beating Tobias' previously held record of acquiring himself ... well, once 🤣!<

After the Yeerks gain the morphing cube and all the humans become morph-capable, couldn't the humans just morph and escape? Am I missing something?

Hello!

I'll start by saying this is my first time ever reading the series, so please avoid spoilers for me! And apologies for my English, it's not my mother language.

I'm starting the book 34 and I'm just a few chapters in. It's from Cassie's POV and it starts with the free hork bajir asking for help. There's this guy, Am (or Arn, the pdf editions mess words a lot lol) that says his species was the one who created the hork bajir. Cassie makes a small summary of that, and so I caught it up quickly, but it sounds like something they're summarizing because it was mentioned before. Though I don't recall any of that?? Is it from a book like the megamorphs or something? I'm just reading the main series and had read somewhere that I wouldn't have trouble following the story if I left other series for later.

And they also mention Seerow's daughter. I remember who Seerow was, from the law Ax mentioned in his first POV book, but I am curious whether this is the first time they mention his daughter or not.

Compared to other books, this was too much info all of a sudden in such few pages that it took me a bit by surprise haha just wanted a little clarification regarding those points.

In October I’ll be traveling to Japan (doing the usual tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka route) for the first time in my life and I thought about asking if there’s anything I might look out for animorphs related stuff while traveling there. I don’t know: Japanese editions book (the Vietnamese ones would be so cool to have), some obscure vintage merch, basically anything that a animorphs fan here on this reddit might have already found while traveling there, and where to find it. Also Does anyone know any good toys or book store in tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka?

After all this time I finally finished the series. I read some as a kid, loved it, but never finished. And what kind of ending is that?????!!!! I am in a mental up roar.

I've been rewatching the TV series with my niece who has read the books but not seen the show.

Some things I've noticed that are just silly or plain dumb. I haven't got to the end yet so I will likely find more things to add.

In one episode Rachel is spotted as human using a computer by a Controller, who is watching security cameras. He only sees the back of her head.

He goes to find her in the room and shes morphed to Lion. That means, she morphed ON CAMERA.

The scene with Ax and Visser Three "fighting" has them basically arm wrestling. No tail blades used at all.

Controllers are pretty much identified by them scratching their ears.

They are always not in morph!!!!! I get it, the budget is pretty low but come on. Running around as human all the time??

Ax is captured by controllers to make a trap for the others. He is captured in like 2 seconds by a group of human controllers. No fighting or anything. He doesn't hear or see them creeping up on him.

A net falls from a tree and captures Jake, Marco, Rachel and Cassie. Could they not just... reach the end of net and escape??

The Ellimist allows Rachel to have a knife and she cuts a hole to get out.... basically at the edge of the net???

After all, it is Disney. I have a feeling the executives won’t be fans of a cliffhanger ending where one of the characters dies.
