I am suing Naoki Urasawa for emotional damages

Just saw the new trolls movie and I LOVED IT. The music really made it for me but also the amount of Broppy content we got was fantastic. Not to mention Brozone and the sibling content? Incredible.

Anyway, here’s some Human AU sketches and a current WIP to solidify my new hyperfixation-

Okay i need some help finding a song.

Season 6 Chapter 6 of RvB, during the fight between Meta, Wash, Church and Caboose. I have been trying to find the song that was playing but i cant figure out for the life of me what it is!

If you know, please tell me. Its hurting my brain looking for it.

This is just so satisfying to watch Yep, same crazy Sakyo Hey babes Oh, the betting is so fun This is such a fun fight I love Elder Toguro's voice That was friendly fire I didn't expect His sword should be ORANGE Hit him harder OMG HIS HEAD IS TEENY TINY Noooo, they did it. They fucking did it. The fingers I actually kinda miss Kuwabara's white outfit now Yep, this looks familiar Blah blah blah, die faster Slowest suicide ever Yukina healing him is a nice touch. I like that. I completely forgot Hiei still had that blade I much preferred it when Sakyo got crushed by the building HINT HINT HIEI!!! oh for fuck's sake Yeah, I don't believe that bullshit for a minute Still love this scene though Are we bringing Genkai back or not? This theme slaps

At least we're set up for season 2.

Did I enjoy this? Very much. Does it have flaws? Certainly. Do I understand the choices they made? Mostly. Do I want more? GIVE NOW

zero and the (new) wonka movie

hi i just watched the wonka movie and here are my (rambling mildly unfiltered) thoughts—somehow spoiler free (feat. my seeing the boy and the heron yesterday too, ALSO spoiler free)

it is INCREDIBLE. arguably just as good as the barbie movie in my opinion but i dont have Much Of An Opinion so

it was funny, it was musical (THE MUSIC IS SO GOOD), it was serious, it was dramatic, it was a genuinely good prequel (imo) that left me sufficiently satisfied

like i watched the boy and the heron (with bee) yesterday and it was good (i mean its GHIBLI ofc it’s good) but it was Strange. Strange in a Good Way, it was a really good movie.

but boy and heron left me, while satisfied, simply in awe of just. the plot and the writing and the animation etc etc. wonka was delightful and whimsical, and i could grasp the emotion a lot more clearly than boy and heron.

NOW. THEYRE BOTH FANTASTIC MOVIES IN THEIR OWN RIGHTS. i just don’t grasp the abstract (like boy and heron) that well so i’m more there for just Enjoying The Process. wonka, ofc, had its trope moments (where boy and heron successfully did not imo), but always seemed to turn it at least 90 degrees, if not straight up upside down floating in the air (iykyk).

so, tl;dr: wonka was Absolutely Fantastic, and you should go watch it at least once to appreciate the story (and the music. OHHHH THE MUSIC. i’m gonna to listen to the soundtrack again excuse me)

GUYS IM SO SORRY FOR BEING INACTIVE I WENT TO THIS RLLY COOL PRIDE PARTY AND HAD A BLAST RAHHHH--

if the new Pinocchio movie makes me a guillermo del toro fanboy i am going to kill myself

yokai academy y is so stupid but I love it so mu

worried that thing you put in your art or writing or game or music is too self-indulgent, too self-referential, too niche for anyone but yourself? fear not! you can do whatever you want forever. and you should.

I’m not immune to slasher comedy coming of age musicals. Apparently

Finally!! let me share with you the Trigun playlist I made! It's called NoMan's Land and you can listen to it HERE It's an evergrowing playlist, hope you enjoy!

Okay but the weirdest thing about the whole "Brotherhood is better you should skip 03" discourse that's become commonplace now, it sort of forgets the world Brotherhood came out in and why you should watch the original Fullmetal Alchemist. When Brotherhood came out, the original Fullmetal Alchemist was one of the most beloved and most watched animes of all time. Brotherhood assumes you the audience have already seen it because of course you have, everyone has seen it, so it skips important information and speeds the story up because it doesn't want to bore you with things you already know. Have you ever wondered "hey why does the first episode of Brotherhood kind of suck, and why am I being introduced to like 50 new characters, and why are they acting like I know what the hell an alchemist is?" It's because Brotherhood thinks you've seen 03.

The first 7 or so episodes of Brotherhood constitute dozens of chapters in the manga, and the first 25 or so episodes of the original Fullmetal Alchemist. The Nina Tucker episode in Brotherhood, in FMA 03 takes up nearly three episodes. Yoki gets a backstory in 03 and it's genuinely one of the best episodes and taken directly from the manga and Brotherhood glosses over it because: duh, you've already seen it. And so if you skip the original you miss out on dozens of really great character building episodes like Ed and Al meeting Hughes for the first time and getting to spend a whole episode helping him free a train from terrorists, or Ed and Roy having a duel that expands on the relationship they have, or episodes where the brothers just help out random people in towns before the major story gets going.

The original also paces itself quite a bit better than Brotherhood and is more in line with the mangas storytelling. In the manga we don't find out about The Gate until nearly two dozen chapters in, and the same goes for the original anime. Like, that's a twist reveal in those stories, and it's weird that the most watched series is the one where they tell you all about The Gate in the first two episodes because they assume you've already seen the original show.

What's more, people don't know that Hiromu Arakawa helped write for the anime while she was still in the middle of writing the manga, and as a result was inspired to write scenes in Brotherhood that the anime did first. That scene of Edward getting impaled by a falling beam? Directly inspired by a similar scene in the original anime. There's a lot of little instances of that and they're great when you can recognize parallels and things in Brotherhood that are direct references to the original anime, but people don't notice any of that anymore. Because the original anime is just an automatic skip these days, and it's a bummer because people don't realize what a giant it was back before Brotherhood was released. They treat it as *bad,* not realizing it was one of the most beloved anime of its time and the problems people take issue with have a lot more to do with personal taste than any kind of actual flaw in the writing. Brotherhood was never meant to dethrone it, and the original anime was always supposed to be part of the viewing experience which is why those first few episodes of Brotherhood are so fast paced. So like, please stop telling people Fullmetal Alchemist 2003 is a skip, or it's bad, or you don't need it because Brotherhood is better. Regardless if you think Brotherhood is better or not, the original wrote Brotherhood's check. It was huge, it was beloved, and Brotherhood is *banking* on the knowledge you've seen all of it and loved it. And trust me when I say there is so much to love about the original series. It's still my favorite branch of the FMA franchise, and it's worth your time, I promise you.
