I do not think Gunsmith Cats is as good as Dirty Pair, so this seems a disservice on my part.
honestly, my only complaint about the show so far is how little time they spent on the finals round. they spent a lot of time building up those opponent golfers and then... aoi and eve just stomped all over them. I get the show is eager to get on to other things, but, eh.
anyways, just waiting for the golf mafia to show up again over here
I just want to say that I fucking called it.
Gunsmith Cats was definitely the first anime where I went "This probably shouldn't be allowed."
Spoiled for You Know The Drill.
Yeah.
Never been to a move theater that served caramel popcorn before. Maybe it's for the best, it must do a number on your blood sugar.
This arc is pretty meh in the scheme of things, though there are still a few cool moments.
I imagine ufotable will continue to elevate the source material.
Huh yeah never got to this part
Christ, I forgot about that particular tidbit.
I envy you.
Drawing manga is really how he expresses and comes to grip with his emotions. It's really fascinating.
Based on the structure of the episode, I think there will a plotline for each world running in tandem. They will probably each have lessons that teaches the protagonist to grow in the opposite world.
Tanjiro sure has that god-tier healing factor, not even a scratch in his neck or a mark on his fingers that got snapped.
Also, show some backbone, man, ask that Hashira when the last time he slew an Upper Rank was.
the story of him getting pushed off his bike and bullied by another girl in college, which caused him great happiness, is 100% real though
Was great but then this
Made me lol fr
Think I'm just getting old
Vague spoilers for Honkai
Funniest low-speed car crash I've ever seen in a movie.
it was alright
short but alright
New season sub ep14 spoilers as they relate on rewatch
The twitter thread that collected all of the “hints” is mostly things that are obvious on rewatch but I still never noticed that the operating system is Eri’s name before.
The dub only has up to ep 11 so far and that episode ends with her telling Ariel that she’d “never leave you behind, darling” when the attack happens.
I forget what the dev lady’s name is, bunella? It’s also super clear that her suspicions are specific and not just the generic “find out more” directive that she got from the old ladies.
Squire was good. I think after spending 80 years or whatever being the paragon of wasting their life doing everything for everyone, just fucking around in a second life is 100% reasonable.
I also found out Daily Life of the Immortal King has a third season and boy that show it still wildly better than any other CN offering and also just an amazing show. Ended up rewatching the first two seasons and Froggy 2 gets treated dirty so many times. Poor demon king frog dog bro.
While there are some definite motifs of abandoned areas, recurring natural disasters, and the beauty of Japan's diverse locales, the movie doesn't seem to have anything to say about those images other than the first two are sad and the last one is nice. The comet and ensuing disaster from Your Name directly spoke to the trauma of the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in a way that felt cathartic: we experience the violence and devastation and then recover from it. While that earthquake and ensuing tsunami are directly mentioned in this movie, it's only experienced via young Suzume's feelings of loss. Whenever there's an earthquake warning, we get a mix of bystander reactions that range from highly anxious to unperturbed which is realistic but doesn't provide a strong narrative theme to follow. We can anchor our reaction with Suzume, but she's too busy averting the next impending disasters to give us any sense of how to feel about it. There were some other weird things too like the sort of suggestion that Suzume was bringing business with her wherever she went. I'll have to see if there's more to these themes when I watch it again.
The one area where this film excelled was with the ending scene. Confronting the childhood trauma with the assurance that "this too shall pass" was great, and this was where the gf lost it. This movie was absolutely tailored to destroy her as she recently lost her mother-figure who was also a nurse, whom she had a complicated relationship with, etc. etc. She found a lot of herself in Suzume, and so I recognize that this movie hits everyone differently. But for me, I was a bit disappointed.
