notes

a standard story arc, the story doesn't deliver any surprises. it does deliver an excellent heroine, baseball trivia, a magical hammer and one big titan.

the theme of "we are all stronger than we think we are" isn't meant to be discovered but rather seen and appreciated. i liked that.

i liked her bunny hat too.
