The ninth doctor was so insane fr he was like I watched my planet get destroyed and I can't share this trauma with anyone. I will fix this by befriending a human girl and taking her to see her planet get destroyed. This is normal behaviour.

i'm only watching the anime for now but one of my favorite senshi moments is while the party and an orc toddler are watching the dough rise. The toddler reaches out, and senshi stops his hand. it's such a small, humanizing moment that makes it feel like a world full of people not just background characters and extras.
and the choice by the anime's artists to have him catch the baby's arm between two fingers, rather than his whole hand is such a small thing but it also shows just how gentle senshi is! just a little gentle "stop"
love it

"A story doesn't need a theme in order to be good" I'm only saying this once but a theme isn't some secret coded message an author weaves into a piece so that your English teacher can talk about Death or Family. A theme is a summary of an idea in the work. If the story is "Susan went grocery shopping and saw a weird bird" then it might have themes like 'birds don't belong in grocery stores' or 'nature is interesting and worth paying attention to' or 'small things can be worth hearing about.' Those could be the themes of the work. It doesn't matter if the author intended them or not, because reading is collaborative and the text gets its meaning from the reader (this is what "death of the author" means).
Every work has themes in it, and not just the ones your teachers made you read in high school. Stories that are bad or clearly not intended to have deep messages still have themes. It is inherent in being a story. All stories have themes, even if those themes are shallow, because stories are sentences connected together for the purpose of expressing ideas, and ideas are all that themes are.

the idea that, using CHRONOMANCY, arthur aguefort prerecorded a whole stadium full of illusory arthur agueforts with chest paint for the bad kids AND a congratulatory post-hoc message for being the first students to beat the last stand is so so deeply funny. bad kids break a record from the dawn of time and he’s not even going to put his vacation on hold to be around for it. world’s most principal of all time
