Kabru is a gossip girly and i love that for him

i love the dunmeshi anime bc it got me to finally read the manga and on the whole it’s so much fun, but i really dislike whenever an ep starts and im like “man i hope studio trigger deemed this scene important enough to give it to someone that makes things look visually interesting” i know that high budget/low budget styles aren’t uncommon but the gap feels huge in this show and switches in the middle of scenes sometimes…

esp when it comes to kabru who’s maybe gone “off model” once, just bc his first scenes are exposition heavy they don’t bother bringing him to life at all and just go “yeah this is boring. shot reverse shot for 5-10 minutes” even for ppl who dont outright notice the style changes it makes his scenes so much less dynamic, like the team has deemed him a filler character and idk. it feels like the job of an adaption to bring more to the table.

i accept it as a budget constraint and unequivocally prefer this over animator burnout but the inconsistency is more than i’ve ever seen in an anime and it’s so frustrating. sometimes i seriously feel like i’m watching one of those youtube videos that recreate a movie as a shot for shot anthology from different animators.

kabru thinks hes doing some hannigram shit to laios. he thinks he is grooming him to take dungeon lordship so he can dispose of him (if necessary) and like maybe 70% of his intent is to prevent another tragedy like the one that scarred him for life and the other 30% is a mix of 1) he is having fun and 2) he has cptsd and thinks his desire for a genuine mutual connection is weird and infeasible so people have to go in his little terrarium where he can know all about them and no one gets to know him and laios did not just get in the terrarium like he was supposed to and kabru needs him to get in the fucking terrarium

Labru, laios's hungry

I can’t remember who I saw make this post originally and I cannot find it for the life of me, but its so correct this is their vibe

I actually think switching the "what should I do" to "I wonder what will happen next" to cue in the Falin reveal was a good move from trigger, but I still hope we get to see his little mental image next episode

kabru is so cute in this

kabru really uses his “I’m a Bitch With Blue Eyes” power to full effect huh 😭

Kabru is tired of your s**t Laois

my three girlfriends

and yes, they smoke weed (+ solo)

not Kabru threatening to surgically slit that pretty elf‘s throat and pressing up behind him to flirt
