Coping with the end of Gotchard with some Houtaro/Rinne hcs

I love this show to bits and I love my children to pieces

Houtaro doesn't get the nerve to confess to Rinne until their graduation day and even then he could barely get the words out. In the end he ripped the second button on his blazer off and hoped to Fruit Jesus that she understood what it meant. Thankfully, she did- and she responded by backing Houtaro into the sakura tree he brought her to confess under and kissed the living daylights out of him. (Atropos had to egg her into doing it lol)

Kyoka and Minato had a bet going on on how long it would take for those two to get together. Minato lost badly

Their first date got crashed by quite a few spies... Sabimaru, Renge Ryo, Lachesis and a very reluctant Spanner at one table, Keiwa, Daiji, Rintaro and Isamu at another, and Ikki, Touma and Aruto at another (Ace was also spying via fox god powers). Needless to say, neither Houtaro nor Rinne were amused

When Houtaro first brought Rinne home as his girlfriend, Mama Ichinose hugged Rinne hard enough to bruise her ribs and Papa Ichinose teased Houtaro for somehow getting someone as smart and pretty as Rinne

Houtaro and Rinne move in together about a year or so into their relationship. By then both were devoted to their alchemy studies full time, with Houtaro aiming to become a teacher at the Academy and Rinne focusing more on the research side and working with her dad

Naturally, they got pitted against each other for their advancement exams. They promised each other they wouldn't hold back on the other so they went all out in their match (short of actually transforming and using the Chemmies which they were explicitly barred from doing). Minato eventually had to stop them because they were doing too much damage to the area

Their academy senpai threw them a party after their advancement was confirmed, and both had a bit too much to drink... Let's just say things got a bit heated that night

There were a few people who had... feelings over Houtaro and Rinne having an active sex life lol. Particularly the ones who don't get any action even though they're a world famous superstar (cough Ace cough)

Houtaro started thinking of proposing to Rinne when Spanner and Lachesis got married. He asked Spanner for advice and poor Spanner had to admit that he had been so nervous that he passed out and he ended up proposing while in the ER for a concussion (RIP Spanner's dignity, yes he deserves it)

Houtaro did ask Rinne's dad permission to marry his daughter, and Fuga's reaction was to laugh and say that he knew Houtaro would take care of Rinne the moment he saw Houtaro ready to take a fatal hit for Rinne (ep. 48)

Still, Houtaro had no idea how to actually propose though, and he turned down every idea suggested to him by other people (including his dad, Minato, Ryo, and fellow Riders)

In the end Houtaro just brought up the idea of getting married randomly over dinner, Rinne admitted she'd been thinking about it as well, and they agreed they should do it soon. They went out the next day and bought the rings and that was that.

The bachelor party was a disaster, par the course for gatherings with many Riders present. Too much alcohol was consumed, Emu cried over his a baby rider getting married, people got freaked out by Shouma's... organ, and Tsukasa went bonkers after one too many people teased him about being Kaguya's father. They are all glad that Kaguya and Aruto are rich enough to pay for damages

Some of the Chemmies were also at the bachelor party and Hopper-1 was disgusted at the lightweights who passed out after a few drinks... or one... and of course he had his favorite Kahlua milk

Also, some time during the bachelor party, Houtaro got kidnapped by Rinne's secondary rider senpai, and they gave him the third degree spiel about what they'd do if he dares to hurt Rinne. They did have the sense to bring him back though (Daiki wanted to leave Houtaro at the random forest they brought him to but Keiwa overruled him)

Sabimaru was the best man, Renge was maid of honor, Ryo was the officiant and Hopper-1 was the flower Chemmy (of course, it was the same yellow flowers from Rinne's story).

Houtaro cried the second he saw Rinne walking down the aisle to him on her father's arm. And he was so awestruck by her that he stammered through his vows even though he was reading them from a piece of paper ("Can you blame me? I'm marrying the prettiest woman on Earth!!")

Delusions VS. Ideals.

@66thpitstop​ Your responses to my post deserve to be a post on its own because damn you seem to be confusing delusions with ideals.

First let us define both words. 

Delusion -  a false belief or judgment about external reality, held despite incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, occurring especially in mental conditions. (source: Oxford Dictionary)

Ideals -  a standard of perfection; a principle to be aimed at.  (source: Oxford Dictionary)

Now, let’s place all your responses into this post.

When people proclaim about themselves, something that they are not, then they are no different than those delusional & egotistical villains. Both Daiji & Keiwa hate reality, because it affects their egos. They're no different than the likes of Kusaka, Mitsuzane & Kaito, in that regards, even if they claim the opposite.

When I'm seeing both Daiji & Keiwa claiming that they are saving people, when the situation proves them otherwise, then yes. They're delusional. When Keiwa claims that he will revive everyone who died in the DGP, while blaming Ace's mother at the same time, what does he have? Delusions. When Daiji says that joining Giff is the only way to go, when it was already proved that humanity can fight back against him (Ultimate Revice), then he is just as delusional.

Not only that, but let me remind you a quote from Takatora to Mitsuzane : "While the others faced their futures and moved on, you clinged at where you thought you found safety, and stayed there". The same goes for both Daiji & Keiwa. They didn't want to face their futures, straightforward, but instead, they got stuck to their own made-up world, built inside their heads.

and then my response to you for your first response. which got me your responses two and three:

Where did you even get them being delusional from their characters? In fact where did you get a lot of your claims in canon? Did either Keiwa or Daiji proclaim that they will be heroes to save everyone, they just declared that they're going to save people. By your logic, Emu is a villain, Sento is a villain, heck freaking Eiji Hino and Gentaro Kisaragi are villains. "hate reality because it affects their egos?' seriously where is this coming from?

Le’ts get to your responses now.

Keiwa’s ideal was for there to be no sacrifices for happiness, and naturally he wants for those sacrifices to be brought back, so his wish becomes reviving the DGP casualties. How is that a delusion?

So when someone fails to achieve their goals for one reason or another they’re delusional now? How is that a delusion, they simply failed at what they set out to do. In militaristic terms they failed the objective.

Academically speaking they got an F, it’s like you’re saying students who did not pass are delusional people and are villains.

Or are you talking about blaming Ace’s mother?  Let’s dissect that bit, shall we? I don’t have the time or energy to make an elaborate essay on dissecting that argument so here are the bullet points.

Keiwa learns how the wish system supposedly works from two shady sources: Daichi and Kekera.

Ace learns how the wish system actually works from confirming it himself, by which Keiwa is dead at this point.

Ace shares what he learned to Michinaga.

Ace does not share what he learned to Keiwa.

Keiwa is operating on the information he got from both Kekera and Daichi.

That information being the goddess uses the lives of the casualties, as fuel to rewrite the world. (the punkjack special debunks this, and Tsumuri confirms it in 39)

How is Keiwa to know that Mitsume is not to be blamed before the events of 39? The plot doesn’t even let Keiwa process what he learned from Win about how Mitsume probably isn’t at fault.

Keiwa is half right that Mitsume is not blameless in the whole wishing system but he’s wrong to put all the blame on her.

That is not delusional, that’s just called operating blind.

Now we go to 39, the post you replied was about Keiwa’s hesitation, how exactly does his hesitation paint him as a villain, the fact that he thinks there’s no point in joining the game when the goddess cannot atone for her sins?  How does that paint him as a villain exactly? How is that delusional of him.

If Keiwa was delusional, he’d have grabbed Ace’s collars and forced him to atone for his mother’s sins, but he doesn’t because he’s not delusional, as you claim him to be.

Let’s go over Daiji quickly, I did mention that Daiji was manipulated in the post that you replied to, its curious that you left that part out, when that was the whole point of him joining Akaishi’s side. He was manipulated because his factchecker, Kagerou, is absent from his life.

In short you’re confusing the word “ideals’ with “delusions”. Keiwa is an idealistic person, not a delusional person.

Seeing people calling Daiji and Keiwa villains.

As if they aren't just two people who had their entire world view rocked and broken to the point they were barely left with anything, so they tried to cling on to what they knew in desperation and fear of losing everything.

It makes them very frustrating people cause they are supposed to be, they are characters whose ideals the show actively shatters but they aren't villains.

Their reasonings and steps don't make sense, because they aren't supposed to. They are just supposed to be characters who lived their life believing in one thing, being proud of that one thing and then being told that one thing was wrong all along and their ideals are wrong and messed up.

Which ended up messing them up.

Does this mean they are good? At their heart and base of their character? Yes. They just want to help even if that help comes in a fucked up way because just like the crumbling ideals, they have lost their way.

Here's what I think is Keiwa's mentality in the show.

From the start we know Keiwa has big ideals, but he doesn't have a path to attain those.

He wishes for world peace, even in his job interview and the way he does, seems like a kids wish. There is hope in it and even faith but the reality is missing. The reality of a proper path towards that ideal/desire.

Then DGP comes into the picture and Keiwa finally has a path.

Even then he hesitates, questions the path repeatedly and every time Ace is there, supportive and understanding even respectful. You need to work hard for your ideal/desire.

Then comes the time when he finally comes to trust the DGP in a way, he is determined to walk the path and now the world is screaming that it is a wrong path, but Keiwa has been walking this path and it seems like the surest and best way to his ideal/desire.

But then the path is full of blood and what can he do now?

The right answer would have been to accept that the path was wrong and back out and leave, but then what about the others who are already lost to the path? Is there a way to bring them back???

The only answer to that would be to reach the end of the path. But how to walk down that path when you know it's wrong and bad?

You blame the creator of the path and continue to walk with the will for your own desire.

Is it still the wrong path? Yes.

But is there any other path? No.

And the only way to escape the guilt of having participated in this, for having made the choice to ever become a part of it, you cling to the same thing. Because there's still a tiny little ray of hope that makes you believe that things can be better, that they can still be saved.

The creator still seems ugly to you, they are wrong people but you are consuming it with the right intentions so you can't be wrong. (Or that's what you tell yourself so you don't come to hate yourself.)

Just because the artist is bad, doesn't mean the art is as well. Which is what I think Keiwa believes.

Art is what you interpret it to be.

At least that is how I think Keiwa is justifying his own actions or losing himself to those thoughts.

We know he has a big guilty conscience.

Only getting Tanuki Soba because he doesn't want his sister to pay a hefty sum on him, she's already taken so much care of him. He can't even get a job.

Then, is fighting the only option? That man wanted to save his son, he deserved to win too.

Have the jyamato been real people all this time and have I been killing/hurting actual people.

He's the type to let guilt control him. And then you put in the fact that he participated in something that was fucking everyone over?

That amount of guilt would drive most people crazy and it did, his ideals were shattered right before he died when he saw someone he saved, be the reason of someone else's death and then he comes back and sees his sister stuck in the same cruel games and knows it would break her like it did you him.

The one person that Keiwa wanted to protect is in the worst possible situation because of him!

The game needs to pay. The DGP needs to pay but not before he saves the people that were lost along the way, because it's the only thing he can think of to alleviate his own guilt.

Is that self serving? Yes absolutely

But your ideal world is always worth fighting for right?

This is by no means a justification for his actions. But also we can't call him a villain because as frustrating as it is, it is not villainous. He's not going out of his way to hurt people or kill people, he wants the bad guys to pay for their sins and save the other people who were lost.

Anyway what Keiwa needs is therapy to deal with the guilt, maybe even the survivor complex.

As for daiji well... That would be a separate post altogether.

Revice 49:

Why the hell are there so many George/Hiromi moments this ep?!

Ikki still remembers George, Hiromi, Tamaki, and Buu-san.

Ikki can't stay around the family anymore, due to not remembering them.

It's honestly weird how much the preview for this episode framed scenes between Ikki and Vice as Romantic.

Vice... willing to go out with Ikki hating him...

But they totally wasted Suited Ikki!

In the OP he seems evil.

They could've made Ikki the final boss.

Instead he keeps his personality.

Which is good too.

Next time, Super Hero Time! Revice Finale, DonBrothers..... Finale?! Nah, just a midseason recap.

George does not deserve parfait dates with Hiromi... why couldn't it be Daiji (or me) instead :(((

Yeah the Ikki/Vice domestic scenes were... framed strangely in the previews. It's almost like the beginning of a sitcom in the actual show lmao

Can I just say though... the fight with Vice and Papa-san... with Papa-san being eaten by rubber duckie Vice... I just wonder who thought of doing that. Papa-san? Vice? Buu-san? Go? Hiromi? George? Lovekov? The world will never know...

TWEWY 12

Grande Finale already!

I felt the same nervousness and excitement I felt when I watched the first episode while watching the last one. I’m excited, half knowing what I’d see but not knowing what else to expect.

Can’t believe we finally got to this point. I took so many screenshots... I had to limit myself cause they’re not all gonna fit in one tumblr post.

Also I don’t have to give a spoiler warning anymore. Length warning though cause this is super long!(longer than the usual posts I made for this series at least).

Kitaniji transforms into a three-headed monster and unlike in the game, he doesn’t capture any of Neku’s partners nor use Josh’s power to do so. I’m not sure what explanation there is as to how he got more than one noise form but I guess he’s the Conductor so maybe it’s part of his powers here.

Shiki and Beat awaken in the middle of Neku’s fight and help out. The trio then forms some kind of three-way pact (four if Rhyme actually counted although now completely sure?) and continue battling Kitaniji. The fight scene was pretty cool especially Beat’s attack with the chains. It just sucks the fight ended too fast. I guess all of TWEWY anime’s boss fights end kinda fast even though they’re uh, boss fights.

Final attack beam like in the game! It was too fast and I couldn’t get a good shot of the white version this transforms into (which looks like the one in the game). They have an explanation later as to why it looks different at first but they’ll talk about it later.

It’s sad Joshua isn’t part of this. This is supposed to be the four-way fusion attack. (;-;)

They defeat Kitaniji who disappears, sad that he was unable to protect Shibuya. Joshua never showed up in this boss battle so Kitaniji never got to talk to Joshua for the last time. In the game he at least dies happy in a way - he lost but he gave it his all and his Composer praised his efforts. He was also able to tell Neku that the rest is up to him now. Here in the anime, he just... he lost and felt bad. I wish they had Josh show up here but they had other ideas.

A new door opens and Neku braced himself as he knows the fight isn’t over cause there’s still one last guy on top.

They find themselves in this room/hallway (is this supposed to be the Trail of the Judged?) filled with CAT murals. This somewhat confirms the “CAT = Composer” theory and Neku has now accepted it, calling out Mr. Hanekoma to show himself.

And yeah, the last episode’s title is the show’s title as well “It’s a Wonderful World”.

Someone else showed up instead. Joshua finally makes his reappearance!

Boy, have I been waiting for you! I wish you were with them in the final battle earlier so you guys could be a team (and you could be one of Neku’s partners) one last time.

Neku is surprised but happy to see Joshua again. He thanks Joshua for saving him before and is glad that he’s okay.

In the game, this never happened cause Josh appears in the middle of a fight. Things were too hectic and when the battle with Kitaniji finally ended, he and Josh talked about their own game and so after Kitaniji disappears, what’s left is questioning what was happening. Since Josh didn’t show up earlier, they were able to reunite in a more peaceful way and Neku had no suspicion until Joshua himself brought it up.

And I guess that’s why I was so nervous when I watched this. It’s a bit too peaceful. I know what’s gonna happen next but not exactly how they’d adapt it.

Joshua finally explains the truth to Neku and his friends.

This felt more... awful to watch. Like we had both Joshua and Kitaniji giving bits and pieces of the truth in the game via their conversation so there’s two people to focus on. Here it’s just Joshua. But in a way, I guess this works cause there’s no one else there to soften the blow and Joshua could make the revelation hurt more if he wishes so. It also kinda feels worse cause you see Neku happy to see Joshua earlier before the reveal happens. Kinda heartbreaking.

“I’m the Composer of Shibuya.”

He finally says it clearly to a confused and surprised Neku.

We get a flashback of Joshua and Kitaniji talking about Shibuya’s impending destruction, why it must happen, and Kitaniji making a deal to try and save it. He has a month to change things for the better and if it works out, he wins. If not, Joshua continues the destruction plan.

Joshua’s Composer form is more vague here. It’s human shaped but you don’t see his face and the outline glows like this so you don’t properly see the shape. I think this is better cause there’s no way you can tell who the Composer is like this and he looks less human.

Beat gets angry at the revelation and tries to attack Joshua which he couldn’t do because of Joshua’s powers. I wasn’t able to get a screenshot of this but Josh is twirling his hair after this while Beat struggles to try and punch him. He’s cute and I know this is kind of inappropriate to say in this situation given he legitimately made someone mad and he deserves that punch to his pretty face.

Joshua uses his powers to freeze the others (and later renders them unconscious to keep them quiet). Neku is worried about his friends and is mad.

Joshua tells him he won’t hurt Neku’s friends. He then explains about how he found his proxy. Which is Neku much to his horror at what this meant.

I just had to get this with the subtitles on. I replayed the scene several times to hear if there was no error. Joshua says “Daiji na Neku-kun no tomodachi...” and I google translated it. It says “daiji” means “important”. So yeah, he definitely called Neku “important” to him. It’s surprising although this wouldn’t be out of place in the original game since they had more moments to just talk on there.

Yeah, I know I focused on this a little but I’m a nekujosh/joshneku shipper so forgive me for latching onto this.

Neku slowly sees the bigger picture as Joshua continues to explain himself. As a reward for getting this far, Joshua returns Neku’s memories.

He really had to get that close while saying Neku’s name, didn’t he?

Neku’s death flashback. The scene plays almost similar to the game right down to the censored guns (is this a creative decision to make it faithful to the game or are they really just not allowed to draw actual guns?). I was gonna make a joke about how Joshua stopped Minamimoto’s bullets using an AT field but the shot was different and the bullets just looked like they froze midair and not stopped by some kinda force field like in the game.

Neku ends up getting shot by Joshua complete with bleeding unlike in the game. I just have to wonder if I was the one who got it wrong cause in the game, Joshua looks like he’s aiming for Neku’s head and here, Neku gets shot on the chest. Did they change it cause a headshot would be too much or has it always been a shot to the chest?

Neku angrily walks over to Josh and grabs him by the collar. Joshua stops Neku with his powers as he continues to explain about what happened regarding the death scene and Minamimoto. Joshua then materializes two guns out of thin air and places one on Neku’s hand as he tells him the rules of their final duel: just shoot and if Neku wins, he could save his friends and he becomes Composer and do what he wants. What stood out with how he said it is that he didn’t exactly go “If you don’t beat me, Shibuya is destroyed.” and instead went “If you win, these are what you get to be Composer and whatever else you’d like! Sounds good, right?”. As if saying killing him has a lot of perks.

It feels weird seeing Josh physically placing the gun on Neku’s hand cause in the game, the gun was by Neku’s feet and Neku had to pick it up on his own accord. Anyways, I like the effect they used to materialize the gun cause it’s the same effect for the names of the routes when they show them on screen. Like graffiti or something.

At this point Neku’s crying. The shot didn’t feel as dramatic as in the game in my personal opinion. Neku is tearing up here but he looks tired and was about to sob in the game. Joshua meanwhile, counts down from ten.

Before Joshua’s count hits three, Neku hears a somewhat distorted voice (which we know is just Mr. H) saying “Trust your Partner”. This reminded Neku how he got to where he is: by trusting his partners. (I have something to say about this later)

In a very shocking turn of events, instead of just lowering the gun and letting himself be shot like in the game, Neku drops his gun and with a hand outstretched tells Joshua “I’ll trust you”. Oh my god... they really did it. I love this change not gonna lie. I think they might have added this cause they didn’t adapt Neku’s ending monologue where he does say he trusts Joshua. It’s less dramatic than the game though since Neku doesn’t say anything while Joshua is counting down. In the game, he was crying and saying how he thought Joshua was his friend and how all of this really hurt him. Guess we take what we can get and they gave us this.

Joshua smiles as he shoots but as Neku falls, the smile on Joshua’s face disappears.

Mr. H didn’t show up at the end here either so Neku didn’t get to see him.

Neku wakes up in the middle of Scramble Crossing like usual but he bumps into people and so he realizes that he’s alive now. He doesn’t scream after the very stressful crap he went to like in the game. Might not be entirely the same but Joshua still left him lying down in the middle of the street. Nice.

We then see a short timelapse from above Shibuya which is probably supposed to show a week has passed. Neku’s monologue wasn’t added in and no ending music as well. I’m disappointed “A Lullaby for You” wasn’t used. Here I was hoping for a miracle.

By the way, Shooter, Yammer, and I think Makoto all passed him by the scramble. They really didn’t get much screentime but at least they made cameos.

Neku finally meets up with the Bito siblings like at the game’s epilogue! The shot they did was almost the same as with the game, too. They have dialogue here instead of just stills with Neku showing how happy he was to see his friends alive again, too. I’m happy the anime version showed him smiling more at the end cause he needed that after everything. It’s nice to see him smile.

RG! Shiki is here! With the same shot as in the game! They really aren’t gonna show us her face, huh? Also, all of the shots with Shiki on them has her back towards us. Like there are scenes where Neku and the rest are looking forward and she’s in front of them with her back turned on us. Why? They could’ve used the lighting on her glasses to obscure her eyes, too. So her bangs are a secret as well then?

They show Eri later, too enjoying a concert, by the way. I was hoping to see a reunion between her and Shiki as well and them finally talking after the stuff from before. Oh well.

Neku takes off his headphones and he and Shiki do a proper introduction with each other with Shiki being herself this time. (Is Shiki the same height as Neku? It looks like that from this angle.)

Anyways, this was a nice way to adapt Neku taking off his headphones since they can’t do it like in the game.

They adapted the secret ending but expanded it to add stuff from the secret reports to explain other lore stuff which would’ve been missed by the anime-only watchers since those are part of bonus game contents. Mr. Hanekoma and Joshua talk about the events of the long game and Joshua says he knew it was Mr. H whose responsible for Minamimoto.

They also talk about the Red Skull Pins and how Mr. H made it for Kitaniji. Mr. H says the pins imprints Kitaniji’s will on people and that he himself (Mr. H) doesn’t need that cause he could do so with all the graffiti he left all over town.

Which brings me to earlier in the duel: Neku hears a voice, clearly (to us) is Mr. Hanekoma’s and it’s in a place filled to the brim with CAT graffiti. Did he imprint the words “Trust your partner” to Neku?

Meanwhile, Beat wonders how they were able to pull off the final attack. Neku says it was probably the pin Hanekoma gave them (the keypin looking thing). I guess they needed an explanation for the last attack but they didn’t have the fusion pin so they used this keypin instead. It’s why the attack looked different in the beginning when the attack was powering up.

There’s apparently a new CAT graffiti at Udagawa and of course, CAT-fanboy Neku has to see it. On the way, they meet Sota and Nao who are now alive! I’m so happy!! Joshua brought them back, too! I always felt bad about what happened to them in the game. I’m glad they got a happy ending in the anime.

Def March, 777′s band, are back as well and look... they got their winged mic back! It makes me wonder if they found it later on or if Joshua gave that to them back the same time when he brought them back lol. I’m just really happy for all of them.

Joshua’s wings!! This is, unfortunately, the best shot I could get since they never really zoom in on this. In the game he is in his Composer form in the secret ending and turns into a ball of light when he leaves. Here, we see his wings. It’s smaller than the one he has in KH:DDD. At least we canonically see it here.

I can now use the term “Joshua Maji Tenshi” and be accurate!

Mr. H points out that Joshua looks lonely and is in denial and Josh just leaves. Mr. H also shows his wings and leaves afterwards, too. I didn’t take a pic of it since we see it in the game’s secret ending anyways. His wings also seem smaller than in the game.

Final shot of the new CAT graffiti. I was so close to crying the entire ending and this nearly tipped me over but it didn’t. If “A Lullaby for You” was playing, I’d have probably bawled my eyes out. This graffiti is beautiful. I want a sticker of it.

Also, I just noticed but CAT’s old graffiti at Udagawa had mostly darker colors. This new one is brighter and is more colorful.

--

First of all, I wanted to thank tumblr for not giving me an error for posting more than 15 images like I usually did. I was bracing myself for the error pop up and was gonna make a part 2 instead but there was some kind of miracle and I got more than 20 pictures on here.

I have a lot of melodramatic things to say about the anime but I’ll save it all for later. For now, I’ll say something else. I’m sad they didn’t adapt Neku’s monologue. Those words from Neku still hits me in the feels to this day. Him saying that the entire ordeal really affected him in more ways than one and it wasn’t all good even though he’s happy about changing and what he learned from the experience. His line about how he can’t forgive Joshua but trusts him was cut along with it and it would’ve been nice to have to know what he thought of Joshua.

The thing I missed the most was the “I have friends now. We’re meeting each other for the first time in a week. See you there?” lines. It shows how happy Neku is that he now has people to call his friends which is super heartwarming and the line implies that he counts Joshua as one of those friends, too (which is properly confirmed in KH: DDD which I’d probably make a post about later if I get the motivation to do so). That would’ve also made the last scene with Josh hit harder. In the game, knowing Josh wanted to be with them and is sad he couldn’t already makes me sad but also knowing Neku is waiting for him makes it much worse (and I still feel pain thinking about it even after all these years).

Maybe we’d see them get reunited in NTWEWY. Hopefully. I really do hope so.

The anime isn’t perfect but it did what it could with the limited amount of time it had. The show would’ve been better if they had more episodes but we don’t know why it ended up with just 12 so we can’t really say anything else. They did it and it wasn’t as bad as I was fearing in a way. Would I recommend it? I’d probably rec the game first, to be honest. I was only okay with watching cause I have played the game and could fill in the missing stuff but the anime-only fans couldn’t and the thought that they won’t be able to fully appreciate the entire story of twewy is kinda sad. It was a nice watch though and I’d miss waiting for it every week.

I wonder if they’d make “A New Day” OVA since the anime is supposed to help the ones who haven’t/couldn’t play the first game but would go play NTWEWY and that scenario has story stuff that’s connected to the sequel.

Anyways, thanks for reading this far if you did! I’ll be watching gameplays of NTWEWY when it comes out in full (since I don’t have the money nor the console for it).

Revice cast react to Daiji reconnecting with Hiromi after regaining his memories. Aaanndd to someone ruining the moment.

The two slowly walk together along the beach and talk about the time they were together. With the gang not from behind.

Lovekov: Rabu rabu rabu. (*insert fangirling here* This is so cute.)

Hiromi: Daiji... Thank you for completing my memories. Daiji: No need to thank me. It was rather all of us and George finally apologizing. 😊😁 Hiromi: *Smiles endearingly* Daiji... Will you go on a date with me again. Daiji: *Turns to him* Hiromi... 😳😳

Hiromichi turns to him as they stare deeply into each other as slowly lean in and turn their heads for a deep heartwarming kiss.

Out of nowhere.

Tsukasa: This is the best live action BL ever though some cliché like the amnesiac lover seems boring. *Eats popcorns* Continue on with the kissing scene the though. Onodera: *smh* Why am I recording this to the fans? Tsukasa: Because... Money and fanservice. This stuff kind of sells.

"ONORE, DICKEIDO!!!" shouted Lovekov, as she chases Tsukasa for ruining her OTP's moment

Everyone's happy that Lovekov is supportive of HiroDaiji, but at the same time... are kinda worried that she'll actually murder the Magenta Pink Menace. Tsukasa may deserve it but Lovekov doesn't deserve to have the blood on her cute little hands. So they do it for her instead XD

HiroDaiji are lost in their little world being lovey-dovey and engaged and shit.
