What are we watching: Land of the Lustrous
What’s it about: In the mysterious future, crystalline organisms called Gems inhabit a world that has been destroyed by six meteors. Each Gem is assigned a role in order to fight against the Lunarians, a species who attacks them in order to shatter their bodies and use them as decorations.
Phosphophyllite, also known as Phos, is a young and fragile Gem who dreams of helping their friends in the war effort. Instead, they are told to compile an encyclopedia because of their delicate condition. After begrudgingly embarking on this task, Phos meets Cinnabar, an intelligent gem who has been relegated to patrolling the isolated island at night because of the corrosive poison their body creates. After seeing how unhappy Cinnabar is, Phos decides to find a role that both of the rejected Gems can enjoy. Houseki no Kuni follows Phos’ efforts to be useful and protect their fellow Gems.

You know more than me then! I'm anime-only. I'll move onto the source materials when it's clear we won't get more anime but we know for a fact that more of this is coming so I've held off.
Hopefully, HOPEFULLY , 2022 will bring a S2. in the meantime strap yourself in,
spoiler
it gets heavy
Ohhh I know. I've seen it a dozen times, I don't think you can get to article-length levels of comments like the one above without a good couple of rewatches.
I am filled with the overwhelming desire to share more. I honestly really am fighting.
<3 thank you for not doing so!
