Tales of Symphonia: The Animation (2007) Sylvarant Arc Episode 4

Even if there were a way to extend our time together, it would only make parting that much more painful. I knew that. But you know what? I don't regret any of it.

sleepy anon speaking, yup I made it! And first of all THANK YOU?? I was literally joking about you writing something, and then you just did it?? It was absolutely perfect, the cuteness made me go all mushy and oohhh and I still can't get over it you wonderful brilliant person. What a nice and lovely thing to do, that and the clip made my night

(2) and I thought Oh wow I guess I HAVE to watch it, subtitles are probably taking a bit. And then the website crashed and I was like are you KIDDING me rn (just like old times I'm tellin ya, completely forgot the sheer agony that comes with watching sth you really care about live). After an eternity (like one and a half minutes) passed, it finally loaded and the first shock was the 16 FUCKING MINUTES. I was like whoaaa okay buckle u p it's gonna be a ride. And it absolutely was!

(3) The Opening was so iconique with the colors omg! My Italian is sadly quite shitty and I got a lot of things wrong, I thought the voice messages at the beginning were from Martino's family and that Italian Eskild (I LOVE HIM) told Ele that a certain Niccolò would occupy her room while she's in England (I deadass died here, I was hyperventilating so hard until the subs came through and I was like...oh.) And I thought the boys really wanted to go to Argentina haha that got me a bit confused :D

(4, last one I'm so sorry for spamming your inbox) All in all, it was a solid clip. I'm also not happy about the Mahdi thing but at least Elia wasn't as homophobic in s1 than the other elias-characters. And ngl, I still don't know about Edoardo, he's not THAT bad I guess but Imo he could still be a bit nicer. But Idk he also gets the benefit of doubt for now. Things I also loved about the clip were Martino answering the fucking phone and saying I don't live here and the Gio-hug in the end! 

YAAAY you made it!!! im glad it was still something you liked even though i didnt deliver on the juicy end of it

i dont mind at all!! rant away 

1. yeah it wasn’t geoblocked for me either which was kinda surprising but who knows maybe its an EU thing .. or where are you from? 2. god yeah! when it was finally up it didnt load for me and skdjskdjsd i remember that vividly from skam s4 and it sucked both times! RIGHT?! 16 minutes was so long i looove it i hope they continue to make these clips looong af 3. i dont understand a word italian (thats a lie i know pronot ciao alora and dificile ... im basically fluent) so i thought it was martinos family too and when i saw what it really was oh man ... its crushing and heartbreaking and so horrible and just reminded me just HOW important this season and its message will be I LOOOOVE italian eskild!! i love how we all instantly knew when he appeared who hes was gonna be he has the energy (also that hair works on him for some reason, as does the shirt! ... was his name filippo or did i dream that?) 

hahaha i thought the girl (it-emma) was names argentina so you know ... were great at this hahah 

4. TRu! to be fair elia made a comment but nothing that other characters in og didnt do too so he wasnt as bad as elias (god remember when we shamed s1 elias of og skam in all the fics? Good Times) and yeah agreed about the casting choices - i do very much see the negative points as i said before and its nothing to neglect but im excited for the next decisions theyre gonna make and hope its gonna go uphill from here heh 

i dont know about eduardo either i mean ... haaah im decidedly NO FAN of dickhelm (im sorry if that offends anyone but i wrote first william and then willhelm and thats just not his name for me anymore) but i do agree that the remake versions of him seem nicer or more human ... idk eduardo feels like he COULD become nicer but i want a better redeeming arch than just one nice comment to vilde which arguably had an ultirior motive .. so i remain testy but hopeful ig? 

martino crossfadingly answering the phone was so great hahah 

the huuug uhghnnnn i hurt from that hug! i loved it but it hurt! bc it felt like martino just fellt a lot of !!! .... and idk maybe not bc hes still in love with gio or attracted to him or whatever but just bc he feels so raw and on the spot and aaargh i hurt 

anyway! thank you for your recap of it and i hope to see you again with further thoughts my sleepy friend (im gonna stick to that tag if youre ok with it!)
