it's that time of year

[daryun]

It has started!

I'll go a little bit slower, at least in the near future because my back has been bugging me. Like the first one, I won't start consistently fandom tagging it until it's recognizable! I'll just post an untagged update every Friday.

But here's the full image, just so people know what to look forward to~

[daryun]

This art is planned in two versions. This is one of them, a little later I will post the second one.

Arslan Senki Chapter 134 is now available to read on Mangasee123!

[daryun]

Got my hands on the German version of volume 19:

Arakawa's bonus sketches are

[daryun]

finally, in chapter 126+127 of the Heroic Legend of Arslan...

My favourite type of movie is “period piece romance but fantasy-horror hijinks happen and now everyone has to adapt to the new genre or die,” ala Curse of the Black Pearl, Anastasia, The Mummy (1999)

Chapter 96

she slayed so hard nobody has slorn like her since

[daryun]

Chapter 69

Everyone is wrong except me. And also my small council of beautiful and moderately-adjusted women. If we disagree on something then it's only because the topic is nuanced beyond your simplistic, profane understanding.

Nooo don't get executed ur so sexy

War of the Rohirrim summarised with manga caps from the Heroic Legend of Arslan Part 2/2

Part 1/2 here

Manga art by Hiromu Arakawa. I am putting this under a readmore, because these are genuine spoilers for the film.

And spoilers for Arslan Senki, too, I guess.

OK, part 2 was not as easy because it wasn't just certain scenes that mirrored each other perfectly.

I know it's not called Helm's Deep until the end of the film, but I forgot what it was called before

Thank you!

I tried to make Alfreed Hera as much as possible

Reader, I had to clamp my mouth shut in the cinema with my hands.

(I'm sorry Hilmes, you are better than Wulf...)

Also. Why the hell were they left unchaperoned? Excuse me??

~Years later~

I actually don't remember why she set Edoras on fire, sorry

Part 2/2

#I'm not even joking people I could tell you the plot of this film with Arslan Senki manga caps

Palpatine's voice: Do it!

Seriously, it could be fun!

Anon, I am going through the manga as we speak.

However, I will go to bed before embarking on this photo book project

I need to emphasise that this may genuinely spoil the first half of the film for you.

[daryun]

Why did no one tell me I am in War of the Rohirrim?

[daryun]

One of the bonus sketches from manga Vol. 21. Looks like there's another one too but I haven't managed to find a full image of it yet.

I really like this one, not only because I'm pleased to see Hilmes feature but because of the composition. The shadowy, mad-looking Gotarzes, whose mind was addled by the influence of sorcery. Osroes, whose eyes betray the inhuman decision he made about the child he raised as his son and pretended to love. Andragoras, with darkened eyes, looming over Hilmes in the foreground. Of them all, Hilmes is the only one whose eyes are clearly visible/drawn normally, and even then it feels symbolic that his right eye is partially obscured on his burned side.

The dark and bloody history of the Parsian royal family literally looming behind him, its mark left on his face. I hope he can break free of it.

[daryun]

It would be interesting to have a tournament with some of these.

Fictional men are something else☺️

[daryun]

Now is the perfect time to join in / catch up for some fun(?) fandom speculations before the end of the manga

I have no idea of what's going on the Arslan Senki manga, but now I'm definetely interested

Doesn't help that the last part I remember reading was what was oficially published on my country and that I bought (it was volume 12, I think?)
