#Liveblog END

[completeoveranalysis]

... SO IS THE REAL SAKURA JUST DEAD?

LIKE IS THAT REALLY IT?

SURELY NOT... RIGHT?

I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS IS WHERE THE CHAPTER ENDS.

CLIFFHANGER: OFFICIALLY WORSE THAN LAST TIME, AND THIS TIME ISN'T EVEN A CLIFF HANGER

I can't believe I just have to live in confusion like this. I'm writing Clamp a letter of complaint as we speak.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, thank you for suffering alongside me and/or watching me suffer and clapping your hands with glee. Both are appropriate and appreciated!

EXTRA huge thank you to everyone who supports me on Patreon. I have had a. Stressful. Few months. And the support given to me over there has been a LIFELINE in certain scenarios, so I will never be able to say exactly how much that has meant. <3

And the Higher Tier of Patrons:

Thank you all greatly!

Now I think I've officially decided that even if Evil Wolverine thinks Sakura is dead I'm just going to headcanon that Yukito teleported her out just in the bick of time!

There are no flaws in that headcanon! Don't even worry about it!

Until next time, please know how much I will be suffering! :D

Erika, having rolled a 21 in Acrobatics : Oh, I just, dodge them, like, huh.

Aabria, with a cunt only matched by the gods : Oh, you didn't beat me.

I'm so confused. Did they die? It doesn't really seem like they did. Is it a euphemism for something? I feel like I'm missing something

But that is the end of it. I suppose I will choose to believe that they just ran off somewhere and are fine, that seems like a plausible way to interpret that

So, overall thoughts

It was great! The art was wonderful, the story was interesting, and I do so love Asano and Hijirihara

This is less about the manga itself and more about the list I'm using but I don't really see why it was split up instead of just putting the whole thing after the anime

Next up is a bit unclear, aside from some shorts that seem like they're mainly just for jokes the only Danganronpa thing left is v3 for which my plan is to livestream it since I don't feel like this format would be particularly good or feasible for it.

The plan for livestreaming is to work my way through school mode and island mode in the first 2 games in order to get used to speaking, doing commentary, and using the program. During the stream I did yesterday I switched to school mode about halfway through

Other than that, I've been thinking a bit about what to liveblog after Danganronpa and I was thinking maybe Yugioh? I have read the manga but I know that the anime literally has entire additional arcs stuffed into weird places on top of other changes so it might still be worth doing. I am open to other suggestions though

i fucking love how watching xfiles in order gives you such insane emotional whiplash

like for example, s1 you have ice, this amazing "the thing"-esque thriller, immediately followed by space, which is probably top ten least memorable episodes in the world. beyond the sea has so many emotional beats and insane levels of acting skill, immediately followed by fucking gender bender lmfao. the absolute mindfuck of having the duane barry/ascension/one breath trio interrupted by the 14 year old emo kid's vampiric wet dream that is 3??? unparalleled levels of unhinged decision making in that production room

anyway, i just watched colony/end game, and it ends with that poignant scene between mulder and scully in the hospital, after she put on such a demonstration of loyalty and love by ignoring his wishes and going after him and saving his life, and mulder finishes the scene by talking about how he has renewed faith in his search for truth despite his heartbreak, and it's beautiful bc in the end, isn't loyalty, love, and faith what this show is all about? -cue credits-

then "watch next episode" pops up and

it is the one with the invisible gorilla

this shit sure does keep you on your toes, huh?

This might sound really odd but meeting Roger Clark has weirdly helped with the underlying grief you have for Arthur and his story like naw Arthur's not dead I met him the other day he's fine dw

very small detail in mystery spot… but the very first tuesday sam goes to brush his teeth and there’s toothpaste like all over the tube and it’s mostly empty. and he looks at dean like “seriously?” and dean shrugs. then after dean dies, during the montage of sam living alone on his revenge mission, there’s a shot of him brushing his teeth and the toothpaste tube is clean. the trunk is organized, the photos on the wall are lined up, the guns are spotless, the bed is made. the toothpaste tube is clean. dean was always the one who made the motel room a home, made it messy, made it lived in. there’s no mess. there’s no dean. sam doesn’t know how to do that. he’s never needed to. maybe never even noticed that’s what dean was doing; he was too busy complaining about his dirty clothes being everywhere.

it is so extremely codependent how sam’s ocd behaviours spike when dean is gone. like dean is his emotional support animal. “we keep each other human” in a very non-supernatural way. sam can only function on a normal level if he knows dean is ok. no one and nothing can drag sam out of that spiral other than dean, because there’s no reason to get out of the spiral if dean isn’t there. sam calls dean selfish for making the deal not because sam wouldn’t do the same thing, but because the prospect of living without dean is hell to him.

WELL

We’re right back in the deep end of crippling emotions BUT WE’RE BACK HERE ALL THE SAME. We’re nearing the end of Nihon (I assume) and it is genuinely impossible to guess what could possibly come after this? 

BUT STILL. HERE WE ARE. 

Thank you endlessly to everyone reading this, everyone leaving comments to make (or ruin) my day, and an extra thank you to all the patrons who have supported me through this last month. It has been. Stressful. But now it looks like we’re swinging back towards being a bit more normal!

I started watching Ted Lasso. Hated the first episode because of second-hand embarrassment, and then loved the second episode. Is this show just one guy winning over the hearts of grouchy British soccer team by being friendly and thoughtful?? Ted is so nice it actually hurts me

[placeholderliveblogging]

Did the entire rest of the city and landscape get completely flattened? Where are they

Kyoko!! I'm so glad she's alright. Second point: Why is Makoto the principal? I'm beginning to think maybe the message I had gotten, which was that the idea of inherently talented people and Hope's Peak itself was bad for people's mental health, was not the intended takeaway

But that is the end of the episode and the end of the series, not counting the special which will most likely be it's own plot since I don't really see where it would fit into this one

So, overall thoughts:

It was very good! The visuals were lovely, the story was interesting, and the voice acting was wonderful though the differences took a bit of getting used to for some characters

I'm not sure about them restarting Hope's Peak, I'm still pretty set on that being a bad thing to have honestly

The opening and ending themes were very good and I will certainly be adding them to my music playlist soon

Before, when I'd been looking through tumblr searches prior to realizing how many spoilers still existed, I saw a number of people saying they didn't actually like this anime for some reason? Having now seen it I have no idea what they could have possibly been complaining about?

Overall this has been a great time. Next up is Super Danganronpa 2.5: Nagito Komaeda and the World Vanquisher. Hopefully I will be able to get back to it a bit quicker this time

this woman tugging the children out of the way/putting herself in front of them as the klingons walk past.. they're just going somewhere do u think they're gonna attack your kids unprovoked? it's such an interesting detail establishing how klingons are perceived by federation civilians but also worf's served on this ship almost a whole season do you shield your kids from him too? did you used to?
