#also the manga is better than the anime

[fannfish]

so im rereading the early shadows house chapters and

like the foreshadowing.

i didnt get it when i first read but it makes sense now, kate is trying to hide that they don't look like each other, while still being very upset about becoming a shadow

god i love this show... well manga you get it..

#foreshadowing #shadows house #shadows house spoilers #kate shadow #kate mirror #if you haven't you should read shadows house #also the manga is better than the anime #here that's my hot take #but its not very hot #so like lukewarm take #i dont even know

[yennao]

I was recently reminded of a manga I read when I was like 14. As I am now 22, I read it again. And y'all lemme tell you it still slaps. If y'all haven't read Gangsta., You absolutely should. (provided you are not too young, cuz oh boy is that shit rated M for a reason)

Edit, color:

#anime #gangsta. #Manga #tbh the manga hits way better than yhe anime #but it's still a fun watch #especially to hear Nicolas talk #nicolas brown #Nic Brown #gangsta #Yet another Triphy Hitman #i love him your honor #Also #deaf representation #!!! #we stan a deaf short king #trophy hitman #Maybe a little too literal this time #human rights? in this economy? no

Keep thinking about how time in Frieren is measured in years since Himmel's death. The fact that at this point in the anime, he's been dead far longer than Frieren travelled with him, and yet, that's still how she relates time to this world.

#I have some thoughts about flamme and himmel and the space they both occupy for frieren but as an anime-only I'm being cautious. #I do think the stuff with the 'ghost' though implies a lot. flamme had been dead for so long and yet she was who frieren saw the first time #it took frieren that long to get attached enough to make a connection strong enough to challenge the one she had with flamme. #but she still speaks of the quest time as being a 'mere' decade. I think both flamme and himmel understood her better than she did herself #anyway yeah for now I'm sticking with the anime. let's see how long I last before swapping to the manga. #frieren #oh also. using the time since his death is so neat from a meta perspective. bc we have these new humans + every time the years appear #you're reminded that they too are subject to the passage of time in a way that frieren isn't.

no you don't get it. i literally love stories where they dive into people's hearts/minds (literally or figuratively) sm it's my favourite type of storytelling.

#p5s #fairy ranmaru #shiguang daili ren #limbo the king #king in limbo #pet anime #pet manga #pet 2020 #dmmd #homunculus #homunculus manga #sankaku mado no sotogawa wa yoru #the night beyond the tricornered window #sarazanmai #id invaded #paprika 2006 #wonder egg priority #tedpost #it allows them to portray emotions in such visually interesting ways #and is a great way to make parallels between the person who's mind they're in and the main characters #these were all the ones i could think of rn but i bet theres more that i havent seen yet #also i only mentioned scramble here because i think it does this concept better than regular p5 lmao. #FEEL FREE TO SUGGEST ME MORE OF THESE #doesnt matter what medium or genre!! could be a book a movie idc i eat stuff like this upppp #EDIT; updates the post after reading ltk and checking if tricorner fit this desc #EDIT; added homunculus too because whilst technically he never actually enters anyones minds he does visualise them into the real world #so its the same end result of seeing a person's true thoughts and feelings. but a slightly different method to get there

[dejwrld]

unpopular opinion — but i think everybody should read the manga of their favorite anime at least once

#i know manga reading isn’t for everybody #but it’s nothing better than seeing the mangaka art style in the manga tbh #like i think reading the manga made me enjoy bleach even more tbh #just like with nana also! #reading the manga made me fall in love with the series #also tokyo ghoul too! #granted i don’t trash the anime adaption as much as other #the art in Tokyo ghoul manga is fucking phenomenal

Dungeon Meshi - My Thoughts (Ch1-10)

Each section gets written out as I am reading. Keep in mind that I have finished episodes 1-12 of Cooking in Dungeon and that I have read chapters 27-31 (excluding 28.5)

Chapter 1.

I assume we’ll get info in this later on but I wonder why the country was sealed away in the first place.

“I bestow my entire kingdom upon the one who defeats the magician." - The King (presumably) I know that the anime does get into this a bit more as we go on and that a new king (or queen ?) would be crowned eventually but I wonder why it is that the king (if he is who he says he is) wants to allow his kingdom to be given away. Curious.

Side note, but I adore Laios talking about the dungeon ecosystem and food chain. Would love to seen an in-depth trophic web with different ecosystems of the dungeon. You could also include the factors that aren’t natural to the ecosystem, so like,,, the various races that go into the dungeon and how they effect the environment around them with adventuring and other things. I wonder if there are any concept maps made already for this type of thing. We’re seeing a basic food chain but I want it in depth !!

Laios is very cute, send tweet !

Chapter 2.

I do find it very sweet that Laios is asking Marcille if she wants anything specific to eat.

Laios is such a little weirdo. God, I love him. This was also the first occasion of me wanting to try one of the foods they made. The tart looks really good and I'm currently regretting reading this before dinner :|

Chapter 3.

I had it in my mind that chimeras were like a very specific animal combo, but hearing Laios calling the basilisk a chimera put that into perspective for me. Like,, yeah no that makes sense. Interesting.

Chapter 4.

Marcille and Falin on the front page :( Guys.

The episode for this was a rough watch for me because of how Marcille was getting treated tbh, and it's similar now while reading but I did feel more with the show. I get the concerns that the party has, because they need to hurry (mind you, Laios literally holds them up down the line with the painting stuff in the other level), but implying she is already being a bit of a burden by saying she'll be "more of a burden" if she collapses is,,,, not Chilchuck's best moment.

"Not being useful to anyone makes me feel so lonely..." - Marcille I liked her already leading up to this but this was one of this things that got me to latch onto her so quickly. I do appreciate that Chilchuck did initially go to apologize for having called her a burden, and that Laios pointed out that everyone was useful in the team but with different strengths. Them :(

Chapter 5.

Chilchuck fighting for his life and trying not to get his shit rocked by the traps going off is incredibly funny and I feel for him. My neurotic little guy,,, love him.

Laios wanting to take the bones home is incredibly endearing. Me too, buddy, me too.

Chapter 6.

Touden siblings flashback !! I care about them so much, you guys.

Laios looks so dejected about not being able to eat living armor,,, what a freak /pos. He isn't wrong though, if you can beat it you can probably also eat it.

Chapter 7.

MARCILLE WEARING THE ARMOR IN THE FRONT PAGE ??? Oh my god . Christ. Not even a warning ? God. Oh my god. I'm kicking my feet and giggling, y'all she is so,, . Christ.

Love that Laios got to discover something that likely no one else knew about just because he was soo hell-bent on eating different monsters.

Downside: I couldn't rock with the meal in this chapter. Too... mollusk-y. Mollusks freak me out.

Chapter 7.5.

Ohhh this is everything to me. Monster biology !! We get to learn more about how monsters are seen and spoken about in-universe. I adore this. I can't remember if the anime shows any of this section, but I think it's an incredibly fun part of the world-building. It makes it feel real.

Chapter 8.

This is incredibly nitpicky but it's a little annoying when people use "symbiotic relationship" to ONLY mean a beneficial relationship on both ends. Chilchuck asks if the vegetables act as parasites to the golems and Senshi says that it's the opposite and then proceeds to call it a symbiotic relationship because they help one another. He's not entirely wrong, but symbiotic relationships include parasitism ! Mutualism (the relationship between the golems and the vegetables), commensalism, parasitism, and competition are all symbiotic relationships. Again, incredibly nitpicky but this always bothers me.

"It's a crime to tamper with magical creatures without permission" - Marcille Girl,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, don't even talk about crimes rn when you know damn well what you're getting up to in your free time*

On another note, I love how we learn more about Senshi's motivations in staying down there and all he does to protect the ecosystem functions.

Chapter 9.

One of the first signs, to my knowledge, that the dungeon is acting strange. The red dragon itself (himself ? herself ? theirself ?) is acting a bit strangely ! We learn earlier on that red dragons aren't very mobile and the characters assume (hope, really) it would be resting after such activity, but here we learn that it's on the move and showing up closer to the orcs. The orcs have pretty much been here the longest and even they see that as odd. Makes you wonder.

The baby orc ! What a cutie. I love that the kid is the one to suggest they share the meal and that Marcille tries to smooth the situation over. I like how fuzzy the orcs are. It caught me off guard in the anime but the fur is a neat touch.

Laios not really considering the possibility of defeating the mad sorcerer and becoming king. Pretty boys are often allergic to thinking.

ALSO, Laios talking about Falin always gets to me :(

Chapter 10.

Is it even necessary to tell y'all that I immediately latched onto Kabru ? I'm transmasc, ofc I latched onto him. Same with the anime. It was funny to get invested in him only to see him and his party immediately getting their shit rocked.

We're being told again that the dungeon has been acting strangely, which is not new info to us but it does help to build a case for it. Kabru points out that he's been told about the dungeon layout changing day-by-day* and the monsters becoming more aggressive.

Ah. Marcille essentially flash-banging the group (and the bugs) is incredibly relatable. I can't do bugs. I cannot and I will not. I know the meal looks incredibly pretty, but I physically would not be able to consume it knowing that it's just,,, bugs. I don't even eat lobster and shrimp due to how bug-like they are. It's bugs !

---- *Asterisks-marked comments are marked because they are points I know that become relevant down the line because I've either seen it already or read about it already. I will wait to get there in the chronology to speak more on it, but this is my way to point out some foreshadowing that I am aware of.

#this probending oikawa au is looking like it would make a better fic than a comic #me @ myself: you have no time to write a long ass fic thats not even a comic for a character outside your primary fandom! you have so many #other projects! #also me....but...what if i did.... #ghajksks #something something pro bending where the events of haikyuu happened in a junior league so that i can follow canon but give oikawa a chance #to win #and he's going to have to face the fact that he's always holding himself back and saying he can't do something instead of taking a risk #which mirrors the fact that he's unable to risk his friendship with iwaizumi to tell him how he feels #i was an anime only watcher of haikyuu but now im trying to get some of the aoba josai #manga matches for my textual evidence... #comics would take too long to donthis idea fully...but drawing...and writing oikawa might be hard...but also...full length fics...

^anime Mello's #slay moments.

#Death Note #Mello #Mihael Keehl #they were few and far between but they were there. <- THEY DID HIM SO FUCKING DIRTYYYYYY IN THE ANIMEEEEEE LIKE HE LOOKS LIKE TRASHHH. #anyway. top left is literally the most cunty he's ever looked. middle left I actually like better than the manga. #i also like wammy mello a bit better in the anime than the manga. he looks less like the berries and cream guy. #middle right is my favorite mello moment and also better than the manga i think. #bottom right his eyes look so kawaii. like why are they so shiny. anyway my wife argued w me that mello's hair was orange for YEARS. #because of THAT FUCKING SCREENCAP. so it makes it on here but barely because it gave her so much ammunition against me.

[tentenismybitch]

just watched the neji chronicles filler ep for the 1st time and there's so much to it

like okay i know fillers aren't canon or whatever but:

hiashi apologizing to neji 🥹

TENTEN'S CASUAL OUTFIT 😍

tenten going to check on him! neji talking about hyuuga clan shit in a way that clearly implies she already knew about it!! besties!!!

this takes place immediately after his fight with naruto. like after publicly outing the clan's tea and his resentment, he comes across a clan elder who demands that he go save hinata at the expense of his own life. this is actually so fucked up

kiba expressing resentment towards neji & saying neji probably won't try that hard to save hinata and tenten immediately yelling at him!!

tenten being like "I AM COMING WITH YOU! YOU WILL NOT DO THIS ALONE" supportive queen

TENTEN'S DRAGON BOMB JUTSU? THAT'S NOT EVEN A FUCKEN NINJA TOOL, SHE STRAIGHT UP HAD A FIRE DRAGON SEALED IN HER SCROLL ???

neji bragging about tenten when the kids express surprise that she stays behind to ward off the mud dogs alone 🥹

hiashi saving neji. hiashi going out of his way to save neji. like, again, i know fillers aren't canon but hiashi's characterization in the show is insane?? like he disowned and bullied hinata for being weak, straight up saying he wouldn't care if she died. but then he apologizes to neji after his match with naruto and in every appearance after seems like a caring father who is actually concerned for the well-being of his children, including neji??? like seriously what is UP with him

neji saying he was narrow-minded and selfish for hating hinata was some straight up BS. yes, sure, it's not hinata's fault the the clan is the way it is but i think neji being resentful that he is the strongest genin of his generation and a literal prodigy within the clan, but still his life purpose is to protect this girl who is not as skilled as him just because his dad was born a few seconds later than her dad, is totally justified and not at all selfish. i know this is a shounen and this episode isn't canon and it isn't meant to be realistic but neji going from "i am a caged bird with no freedom who has this curse mark placed on me so i am at the whims of the main house" to "i was so selfish for hating you i am sorry" in the course of, like, 2 hours is SO ridiculous

anyway this ep has been great fodder for my "naruto but if team gai were the protagonists" au fic that i'm writing 10 years too late

#neji #tenten #neji chronicles #lore #first of all. SP being nejiten warriors itkr #but also #hiashi's fanon portrayal is really interesting because by and large (at least in nejiten fics) #he is portrayed as an abusive oppressive asshole. #but (in the anime at least) ... he seems to treat neji better than he even treats hinata lmao #like for the angst it makes sense lol but i feel like #& i know ppl say that SP are hinata stans so maybe thats why they make hiashi seem nicer? #sorry i havent read the manga 😔 as a tenten stan the anime is the only place i can get CRUMBS

i find it so funny that people are unironically mad that yukino got star dress like is that really the biggest problem you have with 100yq
