THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE YAAD???

*shakes the dust off this blog* heyyyy i'm not dead. happy 2023 to yall!! here's hoping i actually get this blog updated and post more art this year

hmm. going to change my post tag perhaps

NOT MARCILLE THINKING LAOIS WOULD BE A BISHIE TWINK BEFORE MEETING HIM 😭

man i'm barely halfway through episode 12 and i'm already sooooo annoyed because:

1) we get confirmation that namari's conversation with kiki and kaka is 100% cut out, with no intention of adding it in anywhere. hell even marcille's explanation of it feels a little rushed through

2a) other folks have pointed it out from the previews but marcille looks WAY more clean and stable resurrecting falin in the anime than in the manga. where is our unhinged haggard sorcerer moment???

2b) addendum to that point, i'm not a fan of how stylized the resurrection scene was drawn and how focused it was on the party's reactions. it felt too goofy and distracting. like this moment was THEE turning point for marcille's character in the story and they couldn't even give it the right gravitas

3) worse camera shots on the marcille and falin reunion/reaction compared to the manga. like man, you give us the baller through-the-skull view shot to end the last episode and then fumble on this???

with how great the dragon fight ended up being last ep, the dip in quality, care and the cuts chosen here feel like trigger's trying to rush through all of the "non-action" scenes to focus on their studio's comfort zone: flashy fight scenes. this is making me worry that trigger is just gonna completely prioritize fights at the expense of the story and characters. and if that is the case? i'm gonna be real fucking pissed

you know it's all over once your fumble starts trending on tumblr

heads up for anime-onlys, spoilers for episode 10 of dungeon meshi

they fucking cut out namari's entire talk with kaka and kiki??? removing the first time you ever actually hear someone talk at length about how dying and resurrection in the dungeon works in canon?? this is pissing me off ngl

like i was already mildly annoyed by all the tiny character interactions trigger's been cutting out (in this ep alone for example, chilchuck commenting on laois and marcille naming their weapons isn't included) but i held my tongue because it's an adaptation y'know? you can't copy and transfer every little thing 1:1, some things have to be lost due to the difference in medium or to maintain focus on the narrative. but this was a HUGE chunk of content cut out, and the little we did see already felt rushed, so i'm really irritated.

this doesn't bode well for the rest of the season. if they try cutting out even more scenes just to squeeze in as much "action" as possible i'm gonna be real fucking pissed

was rereading dungeon meshi for the nth time and i JUST realized. the story starts with falin being consumed by the dragon, and ends with falin consuming the dragon. eating AND being eaten. life and death. it all came full circle.

litmus test for how well a mother will understand their child: have them watch everything everywhere all at once and see how well they try to understand the movie

sooooo happy with the newest dunmeshi ep!! i still have my criticisms and nitpicks ofc (i wish they'd fully animated kabru's party getting attacked by the fishmen for example) but seeing the new opening, ending + shuro's party was such a mood boost!! cannae wait for the Big Confrontation

SENSHI PANTYSHOT LETS GOOOOOOOOO!!!!

did everyone on tumblr talking about house manage to spread it outside??? i just saw it on netflix

kicked outta the dnd call for saying i'd turn a hot tiefling npc's prostate into silly putty

just realized now that i set jinx as my profile pic on netflix ages ago (from one of their profile pic sets) purely bc i liked the art. now i've finally watched the show two years later. rlly shoulda watched arcane sooner lmao

chilchuck tearing up.... ouuuugh. that got me.

sooooooo tired and eepy and sore i just wanna sleep but i have so much to do. for christmas.
