Enstars sure is an experience. Did I miss anything?

⚔️ ONE PIECE || Zoro smiling & being silly - Fishman Island Arc ⚔️

#roronoa zoro #zoro #one piece #one piece manga #one piece zoro #fishman island #i had this idea to go through post Time Skip arcs and make these compilations of Zoro actually still smiling and grinning #bc he still does that quite a lot. at least in fishman island still #when ppl say he doesnt smile anymore.. i wonder what manga they've read (tbh maybe the anime doesnt put that there as much? #ive watched only few fishman island eps so idk. but i know of at least one of these pics being turned from a smile to a frown so...) #obviously the shift of the themes overall is big. all the characters get more real and serious and its very different from pre timeskip arc #but he's still got his moments #anyway. its funny because he remains silly mostly beside luffy... you know. he missed him. he smiles a lot around him. #and maybe some ppl just overlook those scenes 🤔 #also some great and funny zosopp scenes #zolu #luzo #mine #gif:zoro smile #gif:op manga #usopp #sanji #nami #nico robin #straw hats crew #fishman island arc #long post #one piece ch 598 - 654

I see your Falin Dove imagery and I raise you Falin Pelican imagery.

For those unfamiliar, there's a myth about pelicans that they'll cut open their own chests to feed their babies blood in times of hardship.

I'm just sayin

#dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #its about how she's willing to sacrifice herself for others AND its about the assumptions others make without understanding her #theres also religious imagery. as a treat #im only watching the anime rn but Ive seen so many spoilers so I can say this with my chest #falin touden #falin dungeon meshi

small brain: the scene where jayce gets it on w mel and the scene where sky asks viktor out and he refuses are paralleled to show that jayce has decided to focus on politics (mel) and neglect his partnership with viktor, while viktor continues to focus on science and experimentation (as well as poiting out viktors growing isolation from those around him).

big brain: the scene where jayce gets it on w mel and the scene where sky asks viktor out and he refuses are paralleled to show that viktor is not interested in women and is gay. and in love with jayce.

#not a jayvik truther or a jayvik hater but a secret third thing (i think viktor absolutely was in love with jayce but it wasnt reciprocated) #jayce said ''youre like a brother to me viktor :)'' and it kickstarted viktors villain arc #arcane #jayvik #jayce talis #wait does viktor have a last name #i googled it and he doesnt seem to have one no. only topsiders get to have surnames and hes a zaunite so he doesnt!!!!!! #i love the details in this show!!! #ive been rewatching it+watching a lot of reactions and analysis on youtube and i cant stop noticing how scenes parallel each other #every scene is a fucking parallel to another one!!! every phrase!!!! im going insane!!! this show is so fucking good!!!!! #i forgot to tag viktor #viktor arcane #i phrased the post as a joke but i truly believe this is part of his character. like an important part that helps drive him over the edge #a bit #idk if its what all the writers and animators intended but its how i see it #im rlly fascinated w viktors character after finding out what hes like in the game im so excited to see what hes gonna be like in s2

I am going to again mention that Hikaru No Go cdrama adaptation Qi Hun is on youtube for free (iqiyi), really really good, and if you ever shipped the two rivals to partners then the cdrama decides well They Do Too and cranks it to Bad Buddy childhood rivals to desperately longing for each other to domestic and professional partners levels. (I'm not kidding, to spoil the ending out of context: they move in together with one bed, play partner go for future career, and end the show together happy). And yes, our ghost friend still absolutely decimated me emotionally. <3 ;-;

Anyway I just. While it's absolutely amazing as a show on simply the merit of quality, pacing, good storyline, solid story it's based on And solid adaptation that kept things true while putting it's own touches? It's also really really heartfelt if you like childhood enemies/friends to partners stories. And it feels as bl as Guardian or Word of Honor did, easily (so clearly shippers helped make the show lol).

Here's where to watch!

#rant #hikaru no go #qi hun #rec list #so i have 1 mild critique and that is that i heard the drama gives the women in the story #a bit less time/development than the anime/manga. i havent seen the anime so im not sure but im inclined to believe it #as i do think the older girl whos someones gf definitely feels her story gets less focus than some other characters #also theres a 5 episode period where the pace slows slightly #its still WAY faster paced than like 90% of cdramas sinve cdramas LOVE 5-15 episode #slow pacing lulls. whereas those 5 hikaru no go eps are STILL as fast as the fast paced Ultimate Note eps #its just comparatively. that is the small hikaru no go arc ive seen people complain lat #gged a bit. ans its the only time i took a break. #but i watched thus show in like 4 days lol. it was SO GOOD

[eosofspades]

actually shout out to the croods 1 for female character design im so serious. i can't speak on the sequel cause i haven't seen it but women with broad shoulders women with frizzy wild hair women with crooked teeth women covered in dirt women who can throw boulders and are loud and violence-prone and short-tempered. women who are feral and not in the quirky way but like actually allowed to be offputting. the scene where eep wolfs down a turkey leg bigger than her entire body in like 4 seconds was revolutionary to me idc

#hi im having animation opinions tonight. and im right. #like the only thing theyre missing is women with body hair but the men in this movie also dont have body hair so ??? #my little brother is obsessed with this movie its his favorite so ive seen it like a billion times and im just like. #realizing. how refreshing it all is. animation studios need to take notes bc this movie is literally so good w this #to say nothing of personality wrt women having vastly different personalities and agency and desires/motivations etc etc #also it has motifs!!!! whats not to love!!!!!!!! #anyway. watch the croods. its good 👍 #mine #rory rambles about movies #animation #the croods

Incase anyone wanted a complete newbies opinion on the one piece liveaction adaptation.

Before we start, here is what I knew vaguely before going on, never having watched a single episode of the anime

. A pirate gets killed but challenges people to find his hidden treasure before he is killed

.there is fruit that gives magical powers, main character can stretch like mr fantastic and elastiagirl

.longgggg ass sorry with alot of rich world building

Now i Adore great world building so was always interested in watching the anime but...paying for cruncyroll premium and the sheer length of the show has kept me away. But with the word of mouth about this live action show being very positive I thought why not use this as a starting point. So without further ado here is what I thought.

It was wonderful, I was either smiling like an idiot or tearing up through all of it, I was hear for the worldbuilding and it gave me plenty in that regard but I wasn't realy expecting to fall for like...pretty much every single charater, the strawhats are all delightful and have such a amazing found family vibe and I am SO weak to that trope, koby and his marine subplot grew on me and so much good well choreographed action and some actual laugh outloud moments (buggy was a scene stealing highlight). Everyone said sanji's backstory was a tear jerker and that's 100% correct but nami's third act betrayal realy caught me of guard but love how it was handled. Luffy lives up to his shonen protagonist roots by just being an inspiring becon of positivity who I wish the absolute best for, the show would have fallen apart of we didn't care for luffy and luckly they nailed it. I would say zoro is my favourite of the crew though he had such a dry sarcastic sense of humor that i vibed with. The world was absolutely fascinating with how everything revolves around the sea, and the technology isn't advanced at all like they use snails as phones i loved that, it was so weird! And the way they used pratical effects when they could was great to see gave the world a real and lived in feel. and I realy get the sense there's so much magical stuff still to see! And the music!!! Omg the music! It added so much to so many great moments. Just have to hope netflix sticks with it but with their track record I'm.....not optimistic. But in summary what a charming start to an adventure!

I am curious am I the only person watching as a new fan? Is gate keeping generally a thing with this fandom?

#opla #one piece live action #one piece #im only a fairy infrequent anime watcher my faves ive seen being soul eater and mob pyscho #so here...take my rambling review of sorts from somone who has no idea idea what to expect going forward #new fan #im totally invested and hope there is more #i will probably only start reading the manga or watching the anime if they announce its cancled cos i kinda like not knowing what to exspec

[chuuyadelune]

now that i have recovered from the emotional shock of seeing *that* akutagawa scene from chapter 88 animated in HD 4K (i thought i’d have another week to emotionally prepare myself LMAO), i just wanna be a little bit of a nerd and say that i really liked the cinematography/composition this episode.

in particular, i really enjoyed the anime’s decision to draw visual parallels between this fight and previous fights (in particular, the fight against francis, which is important because it is the first time they worked together).

after all, this fight is the culmination of everything they’ve done together. from the combining of their abilities, coming to an understanding with each other, realising the potential of beast-beneath the moonlight-rashoumon… bringing back similar shots that were used in previous fights is SUPER effective at highlighting the parallels and how far they’ve come, in my humble opinion.

here are a few things i noticed:

- first of all, both of them activating their abilities one after another is an explicit nod to S2’s fight;

- the confrontation/conversation in the hallway from S2 (to an extent! they’re on the same sides, which caught my eye);

- akutagawa blowing up the engine room on the ship, and kyouka doing the same during the first fight between him and atsushi (S1);

- and a similar angle being used for black tiger claws / koukko zessou as a nod to the fight in the S3 finale.

the parallels — though maybe less explicit, *are* still there in the manga? like, the entire “structure” of the fight so to speak is very similar to the francis fight in S2 — akutagawa finding atsushi, taking place on a(n air)ship, breaking away from the fight to strategise before confronting the final boss (then, francis, and now, fukuchi) is undeniably a nod to that fight? i love that this is given its due in the anime as well.

another thing about the cinematography this episode i loved was them using the clock as being the indicator of fukuchi’s fuckass space-time sword doing its thing. that was a really nice touch, in my opinion; the cuts in between were jarring and disorienting and really helped put us into sskk’s shoes.

and as for the background design alongside the clock itself — there were a couple of things about them i enjoyed:

- the number of floors / levels of the ship in the back (5, as a nod to the five ways an angel decays, the DOA)

- the blue of the clock is meant to be reminiscent of fukuchi’s sword, i’d argue, with the way both of them pops out of the sunset/orangey-red lighting

- the clock’s design being super ornate and gold plated reminds me a *bit* of a tabernacle (where they keep unused eucharist in a church) — and thus brings up connotations of sacrifice. that white bridge-thing beneath the clock as well reminds me a lot of an altar, too (see the image above the last to see what exactly i’m referring to, because image limit)

okay, yeah, that one might be a bit of a stretch, sure. but its placement as being above them, combined with the two tables/boxes to the left and right of the ship’s bow (which looks very much like a cross, btw) gives it a distinctly religious, altar-kinda feel, i’d argue. and crosses have been used in S4 as symbolism as well!

(tbh, there could even be a bit more imagery i’m missing, because — the angels of the DOA refers specifically to the buddhist conception of an angel. i’m not too familiar with buddhist imagery, but i thought that this was worth pointing out regardless!)

the last thing i want to say is that the red and blue symbolism went CRAZY this episode. i don’t have much else to say because it was super obvious — they even reused the same “black tiger claws” shot from S3, after all — but i do wanna point out that the symbolism even went into the carpets. the fucking carpets.

like, the shift: it’s red when akutagawa’s leading the conversation but changes to blue after atsushi’s suggesting of the submersible as a strategy? i mean, i don’t know if this (or anything i’ve said, to be fair) was intentional or not, but it’s a cool detail anyway!

personally, i enjoyed this episode, the action was great, and all of this too was a really neat addition as well! and now… uh. we wait for the chaos to get worse i suppose !? (laughs nervously)

#while i haven’t been enjoying S5 as much as i did S4 i think they still did pretty good w this episode #there was a lot i really enjoyed about this episode!! #studio bones will always deliver on the action. we can count on that bit at least LMAO #next week though…. it’s shin soukokover #bsd #jem rambles #bsd s5 #bungo stray dogs #bsd spoilers #atsushi #akutagawa #shin soukoku #bsd atsushi #bsd akutagawa #bsd sskk #sskk #i do mourn the loss of some of the nuance of their characters but. they did say at the panel the anime focuses more on action sooo 🥴 #you win some you lose some i guess #only reason i was able to make this post btw is because ive watched bsd so many times to the point shit’s literally engraved into my brain #it’s bad for me NDLDGAJ #bsd analysis #bsd anime analysis #bungo stray dogs season 5 #bsd season 5

it's strange to see people share deleted scenes of re-animator because my first viewing of the movie was a youtube video with EVERYTHING in it. "here's the clip of dan giving herbert his t shot that was sadly removed from the final cut" sir i saw it happen right before my eyes what are you TALKING ABOUT

#sadly the video got deleted from youtube but i have it downloaded and saved in my drive #its title was just Re-Animator 1985 so i couldnt tell #its hilarious watching people smuggling unseen footage knowing full well ive seen it all #oh but the only deleted scene i never got to watch was dan's dream #that one had me on a chokehold #obituaries #reanimator #danbert #herbert west #dan cain

i hate everyone in the world for making me think that im gonna be an old hag by the age of 30 bc im turning 25 this yr only 5 yrs away and i look exactly the same as i did when i was 16 and im still into cringe anime and fandom chicanery etc like basically nothing changed so why does everyone act like you gotta get a walking cane and invest all ur time into knitting the moment you hit the big 30

#the only thing bad ab getting older is my bones hurt thats so real about ageing #but everything else is not #idk why ppl act like your hobbies are gonna wildly and suddenly change by 30 #like ive watched anime and interacted w fandom since i was 9 yrs old… i am 24 and still engage w it to this day #do u know what i mean like why would that suddenly change in the nezxt 5 yrs idk 😭 #every time i see a tiktok teen complain ab cringe millenials and zoomers i want to shake them by their shoulders and tell them #time will not spare them either and one day they too will be old and outdated #and that is ok. we stay silly 🧘

[baby5fanclub]

so how come i always liked acesan even after i realized they barely interacted when i read the manga, and now i’m watching alabasta and ace is just?? there???

honestly obsessed with the ace filler + simple ace presence and if he’s gonna have a yaoi moment with sanji in the process you know what so be it.

#my posts #acesan #one piece #lookingback af 90% of the acesan art i like it makses a lot more sense to me why theyre alabasta fitted up #also did not know ace actually lit his cigarette like #i thought all of you shared a gay mass delusion im sorry for doubting you #also i guess im just insane because ive literally reblogged that awful 4kids dub video of the acesan kitchen scene #but i think i thought they made some standalone episode with that or smth. ididnt realize at the time how some anime only stuff is woven #within the arcs right #anyway i have no one to talk to about this so im posting now #it is just… #so funny #especislly when i imagine how it mightve been if i watched the anime first and then saw everything #missing in the manga lol #its definitely been an interesting experience reading the manga and immediately starting the anime after #especially with odd censorship (like zeffs #leg) and moments like these
