UM SO YEAH HI THIS WON’T BE CALM NOR COHERENT PROBABLY BUT i’m sitting here bawling my eyes out because we got an ending i’m personally incredibly satisfied with and here’s why

first of all i’m so glad to see sukuna still smiling and peacefully coming to terms with his own situation despite everything, it’s so comforting to see him leave wearing the same smirk he wore and we saw & loved from the very start. i’m so incredibly glad we got a final insight into his mind and how it indeed tracks back to yuuji’s words.

yuuji did manage to reach sukuna and make him reconsider everything for the very first time. and if the peaceful expression he’s wearing is anything to go by, i think yuuji knows it too in his heart, even if sukuna ultimately left. let’s not forget their souls having lived side by side means they are bonded for good; he would have preferred to succeed in saving sukuna now, but i feel like he knows he went peacefully at least. sukuna might have declined yuuji’s offer, but it wasn’t out of pride nor a rational decision but a rooted insecurity and him thinking it was too late for it in this life and wether it was a personal reflection or an altruistic decision it’s still so bittersweet. but! he did listen and internalized those words because if there’s a next time he’ll consider it: a different, gentler path.

and the way it closes, oh my god. yuuji looking down at his hand and then up, smiling, sukuna’s hiding spot opening and the sunlight filtering in. someone give me a thousand tissues and a bottle of something strong

sukuna, yuuji, i love you forever

Hiya, thanks so much for making I Want To Be An Anime Girl! I've been binge reading it tonight (sleep whomst? 😅) and had to pause after reading Ch271+272 to send this in, that scene really hit me hard. Kinda wild coincidence, I have a younger + older sister and used to get dressed up in pink and have long hair when I was little, used to play toys a lot with my big sister too.

I had a good long cry after reading that part, lots to unpack there. I'm slowly coming out to my family, my friends and lil sis are supportive thankfully and I'm hoping maybe big sis and eventually parents can be too 🤞 These sorts of stories give me hope, y'know?

I'm also finding it really interesting to think about the journey of someone coming out in their teen/school years like Cheryl, big respect to peeps who navigate that! For me transitioning mid to late 20s feels like a different experience in a few ways.

Anyways thanks again and wishing you the very best for your adventures from down under in Australia!✌️🏳️‍⚧️

I'd better get back to reading! 😊

Thank youu! I'm glad you like the comic! I'm glad your friends and lil sister are supportive! hopefully it goes well with the rest too! One of my goals with the comic was to show trans joy, and I hope that I've been successful in that regard! Thanks for sending me this msg! ^^

I have such emotions about jjk ch271 and gojo because on the one hand yeah. Yeah. It makes sense and ugh yes his legacy lives on through his students and uishrusjtjsjdj he WON he started this change he WON but also oh my fucking god him as an individual in the story deserved so much better like my pretty princess I wish I could give you a hug and tell you you deserve love too. I wish he had a happy life, not just a successful one

Silver Talks AniManga (29/09/24)

Man I wasn't even following JJK weekly for that long (a bit over a year) but it always feels weird when a long runner like this ends.. Next week the new anime season starts so that'll be fun at least

blue - finale/completed

Anime

Mayonaka Punch Ep12 (Finale)

That was a great show. I went in not expecting much but I shoulda trusted PA, they can cook. It was a bit over the place, but it's highs were really high and the lows were still better than the average episode for most shows so it balances out in the end. I really liked the twist in the finale, I thought it was weird that it started off so serious (including ep11) but the payoff was good. I figured out what was going on right before it was revealed but not fully. At the end the yuri didn't amount to anything but I figured that'd be the case, so I didn't have my hopes up or anything. The reason why Live is so into Masaki was cute too. TL;DR: Great show, fun cast with good voices too and a lot of fun and goofy episodes. Tho funnily enough my favourite episode was one of the more serious ones (ep 4 which I did talk about). But yeah, really fun slice of life show that did a good job with it's concept. Trust PA 👍

Oh also, it had my favourite op of the season (from stuff I watched), it's just really catchy and fun (samurai's is the runner up)

The Elusive Samurai Ep 12 (Finale)

Great adaptation for a great series, I wish all of them could get an anime this good. There were some weaker episodes but they were masked well enough and the use of CG was to be expected considering how many people are in some of these battles. The sakuga we got was great tho, with a shoutout to ep 9 where they really went off. All the little changes and additions they did for the anime were really good as well. Sadly there was no announcement or even tease for a S2 and the way the episode ended felt very final so I'm worried this is all we'll get, but hopefully I'm wrong. Regardless of all that, it was a great anime and well worth the watch even if you haven't read the manga (tho the manga gets much better after what was covered here)

Pokemon Horizons Ep67

That was a pretty good end to this arc. The outcome of the battle was as expected but at least it was somewhat close. It was nice to see the evolution tho, we already knew it'd evolve cause of the promo material for the next arc so it kinda makes sense it'd be in this climax. Wish the explorers had done more since they infiltrated the school and all but they don't do enough in general, outside of plot eps, so we're used to it I guess. With the next arc focusing more on story stuff with them pursuing rayquaza again, and the other missing mons, I hope they show up some more but I doubt it. We'll also get the dlc charas so that'll be fun at least

Manga

Jujutsu Kaisen Ch271 (Finale)

Man where do I even start. I didn't accompany the series for that long, I caught up on chap 238 which was a bit over a year ago but it feels much longer than that. It was a great series from start to finish. It may not seemed like I liked it that much since I gave it a 7 but it would've been an 8 if the story wasn't so convoluted and hard to follow. It's also one of the rare cases where I'll say the anime is actually better than the manga. But regardless of any of that it's still a perfect example of what a WSJ series should be to me.

Gege's art was good and he always did a great job of making readable fight scenes that flowed well from panel to panel and that were really creative. The power system ended up as one of my favourites. The cursed techniques were already cool and creative but the introduction of all the domain expansions and the various binding vows people could place on themselves to change how they worked were super cool. A lot of my OC's powers and abilities are modeled after this because I liked it THAT much. My favourites in the end were what I expected early on, Maki and Gojo. Maki obviously, cause if you know me you know that I love the "guy with no powers that's just strong enough to go toe to toe with others" trope. And Gojo cause, to be honest, he's just so damn cool. Like at first, and from what I knew before reading, I was like "Oh he's just some overpowered pretty boy that all the fangirls love" but he turned out to actually be great. I know he got used a lot as a deus ex machina and Gege even had to seal him away or he wouldn't have been able to do the Culling Game Arc but that doesn't make me like him any less. Still miffed about what happened to win and it getting turned into a meme, cause he was RIGHT, he would've won against sukuna for sure, the reason he lost was because Sukuna had Mahoraga and the other summons since he was in Fushiguro's body but oh well, he still put up and incredible fight and gave us one of the coolest fights in the series

Anyway, I'm rambling now so I'll stop. I loved the series, I know I didn't talk about it much and there's others I like more but it was still a really fun ride from start to finish. It's entertainment and it did it's job for it's whole run, what else can you ask for? I'll certainly be looking forward to Gege's next series whenever he decides to come back. Just like the memes say: "Stand proud. You can cook."

Hakutaku Ch2

I didn't expect to talk about this one so soon but this chap was way better than the first one and did a way better job at selling the series. They shoulda cut some of the stuff in ch1 so it could've ended in the pic below but oh well. At least I'm not as down on it as I was last week so that's good at least

Undead Unluck Ch224

Let's goooooo this is exactly what I wanted After the last chap, where they skipped the 1v1 fights against the master rules and went straight into ragnarok me, and everyone reading, were worried that the series was rushing to a premature end. It's been doing pretty bad in ratings for a while but we figured it's because the magazine is gonna let it run it's course so it's placement doesn't matter anymore. But after seeing it skip straight to the last boss like this had us questioning it. However, I did point out last week that god had those numbered balls floating around him that weren't there before and that they prob were the master rules and that everyone was gonna go inside and beat them to weaken god, and I was absolutely correct 😎 Now I just hope that everyone at least gets 2 or 3 chaps for their fight and none of them happens off screen

Glad it didn't get a rushed ending, keep cooking Tozuka 🙏

[gojooooo]

this might be one of my all time favorite moments of them and sukuna isn’t even in it. the way yuuji jokes about it with others to derail the conversation and minimize both the usual Big Bad Scary Sukuna he’s been trying to rewrite & how much it actually meant to him to choose a final spot for kuna and then silently takes a moment to remember sukuna (can you believe this shit) i’m. 💔

[opbackgrounds]

Remember, Zoro, Luffy, and Sanji were all eaten by a giant turtle in the pre-Jaya chapters, so he’s speaking from experience...

...Which makes me now realize that Luffy has a bad habit of not noticing when he gets eaten by giant animals

i didnt jack off or anything that was just like. a really sweet payoff to all the drama that lead up to it 🛌

Part of me wants to freak out but the dumb gay in me is like oooh pretty boi

[fictionkinfessions]

Me when ch271: I LEAVE SHIN ALONE FOR *FIVE MINUTES**

I cannot believe him. He kills the… first? Time leaper. It does nothing and then he goes and commits suicide because he can’t believe he didnt timeleap.

I know he loved Manjiro. He was Shins younger brother and you know what? I did too. He was such an excitable kid. But… I legitimately thought Shin was getting better. Recovering with me and Baji and Haruchiyo by his side. I guess I was blind. Blinded by love or something… I didn’t see that coming.

I didn’t even know he died until Haru tracked me down three days later. what a shitty time of my life back then.

Shin. If you’re out there: I love you. Always have. But I just wish… you could’ve stayed in the “original” timeline with me.
