One Day You Wake Up And Realise How Happy Gojo Was In His Death And It Fucks With Your Head So Bad. He

light a candle for me when i die, won't you?

There is so much to break down here holy shit

First off, I like how Fukuzawa and Mori are the only one fully on different sides here, I think of all the generations of skk they are the ones who simply and truly hate eachother. Everything about them is antithetical, they represent the complete opposite values.

skk here is also interesting, look at chuuyas expression, he has his typical "I hate being here but i have no choice" look that he had as the king of sheep. And Dazai literally leaning over him is pretty spot on for how we see their partnership play out for most of their time in the mafia.

sskk being back to back here I think actually shows their trust in eachother now, Fyodor being a present threat and both of them wathcing eachothers back. There's also the fact that Atsushi is looking up while Akutagawa is looking straight ahead

ok watched all of elusive samurai season 1, general thoughts

cue my latin teacher saying "they all died, it was a very long time ago" about all the characters. i have no idea how the series ends but basing it on a real guy who did not succeed is very interesting. theres a time limit of 20 yrs before tokiyuki dies so i wonder if they're going to follow through with that

the cg horses and specifically the dog hunting scene are the bane of my life but everything else is so gorgeous. going insane from the animation, and the style changes are sooooooooo cool im in love. the peacock feather ?? divine bird ?? wing effects that are drawn around tokiyuki are so gorgeous. generally any sequence with him fighting is crazy to watch

interesting eye and god themes going on (buddha, yorishige's future visions, takauji's eye, those random flashes of insight that some characters get when they see through their opponent's attacks, edit: how could i forget the emperor's laser eyes)

also a meta commentary about stories???? it's very story within a story of them ... hmmm...

very absurd and sometimes dark, the gore and moments of terror are executed well again i would give my life for the animators who draw certain decapitation sequences in this anime

overall 7/10, some of the jokes and fanservice feel out of place and put me off from enjoying it more but everything else is woah

meanwhile

Yk, I’m kinda glad I don’t get snow where I live-

I’d definitely cry the moment it’d fall

happy holidays wasn’t this movie fucked up

Do you think tsukasa would have been self-destructive even if he had had a normal life? (without evil entities or supernatural sacrifices)

Probably not. Everything that is happening now is the result of Amane's efforts to save Tsukasa from the entity. If the entity doesn't exist, Amane would die from the disease (probably, considering that it's not the entity that's making him sick).

If he survived the disease, they would live peacefully, but I still believe that Tsukasa would feel rejected, because of Hanako's natural behavior, but Tsukasa would have no reason to leave.

He had gone to save Amane, but if Amane never got sick, then it would just be a matter of relationship.

We don't know if Tsukasa is really cruel at times because it's part of his nature or if it's because of the entity, so we'll have that doubt.

But if Amane died, I would have serious doubts about what Tsukasa would do… although I have a hunch.

once these two admit to their feelings, I'd like to think Moomintroll for a short while tries to "flirt" with Snufkin same way as he did with Snorkmaiden, acting all noble and gallant - but Snufkin hates it.

instead, Snufkin, to contrary belief, much prefer physical contact, he just sucks at initiating it. I might have heard once that the acts you do to/for your partner reflects what you prefer yourself - and I may be partial to stories where Snufkin touches Moomin's nose lovingly, so... boop 😏😏

I haven't been drawing in a while and I miss it... 🥺 I miss these two, somehow, though the brainrot is still real...

Scrawny little Snufkin 🌱🌼

Maybe I'll finish this animation, maybe I won't...

Vid is also up on yt
