GX Finalized!Subs Ep. 112: Platforming (WIP, but likely scrapping)

So, madman as I am, I was thinking I'd take a crack at trying to fix an error that happens during Manjoume's sky duel with Amon where, in the scene Manjoume uses Enchanted Fitting Room to Special-Summon the three Ojamas, the animators forgot to draw in the platform he's standing on and the ropes holding it up towards the heli above him. Of course, you'll also notice that Manjoume's legs/feet aren't fully drawn in, likely as a result of forgetting the platform that might've covered them.

I was going about this by first splicing in the platform and ropes from a similar shot a few minutes later, after Manjoume uses Ojama Delta Thunder to wipe Amon's field and the Ojamas drop back onto the field...

...and then redrawing the ropes and rope outlines as needed once I got everything into position (the ropes and all are still rough--didn't apply blurs or anything to blend yet), then duplicating and setting aside the full ropes so I could erase the parts of the ropes that Manjoume and Ojama Green/Fitting Room would be in front of. Eventually, I was going to try using Track Motion in AfterEffects to redo the slow zoom-out that happens here, mask out the platform and ropes, and work some editing magic to throw Ojama Green and his materializing card in front of the rope on the left, fading in the rest of it as Fitting Room fades out. And while I think I could kinda still make that work and make it relatively seamless, I'm not really getting Manjoume's legs right comparing between these two frames, and there isn't another shot in 111 or 112 with Manjoume in that position that works for reference, lol, so that'd be a bit jarring.

So, thinking I might just scrap this one to be on the safe side--unless a better Photoshopper might want to tackle his leggies there lol--and just highlight it. With that, I have a couple of small quality-of-watching fixes and translating the note Samejima leaves Chronos and Napoleon at the end to go, and then I'll start on the translated credits for 111 and 112 before getting into the episodes themselves.

Brothers anon and ah, its just me than. Links on tumblr break half the time for me sorry bout that!

1: Mostly how it looks in the actual episode but with some changes. Its gaint, even has multiple floors, most rooms have a glass dome roof with iron railings (3-4) lining the bottom of the glass. The hallway typically have windows leading up to the roof, but the roof and both floor are a mix of materials like iron, copper, wood, and even gold. The most complex room is the Council room, which has a a higher roof than the rest, with mostly wood railings that go all the way up and lead to a circle at the top. The Council is the group that leads Mizu, they have 1 leader of every Idol to represent the different opinions of the citizens, with 1 special member that doesnt belong to any Idol, and is instead used to represent the opinions of people who either haven't chosen a idol yet, got kicked out of a idol following, and just to give a unbiased opinion most of the time. They do make most decisions, mostly those relating to topics like construction, farming, money distribution, where people can live, etc. And they also mostly agree on most subjects and don't agure, but they do have massive disagreements on topics and problems like Representation in other Cities/Kingdoms, trading, visitors and immigrants, and sometimes supply missions. 

3: Situations like taking care of his siblings (I have decided Benjamin shall have siblings) and friends, and he was also put under extreme stress as a kid in school and family life, but unlike Ranbob, he managed to successfully communicate his struggle and find coping mechanisms. Also when he went off to live by himself for a bit, he was under sudden extreme situations where he had to make split second decision. So he just learned from everything thats happened to him over time. 

8: Levi exists purely to make Watson and others go insane. People claimed it was made up because they claimed most events as unrealistic (like Doomsday, Techno escaping a death trial, Pandoras Vault (they believed it impossible for something to be inescapable)). Plus the fact it seemed cruel such young people where faced with such trauma that no sane person would let it happen, and the fact most historical important items couldn't be found, people claiming that they where made up (also cause if the land was that exposed to such devastation, it would've collapsed on itself). No to both of those, by this point their to far away from Dream for him to have a direct meaningful affect on the group, and while the residents of Kelalen know it was Dreams sword, the group does not know. Nope! Mizu came about years after Kelalen was forgotten about and shamed. And Mizu was only made because of the growing number of believers in the SMP history was causing disruptions in both the political sense and educational sense, so it was made to separate the "outcasts". Though Mizu eventually grew as big as most cities, and greatly civilized and advanced, though they where still often "forgotten" about and basically seperate from the Kingdom that set them up and became their own place (though not officially). 

They do have a friendship! Its not super close but their definitely friends. Ranbob is definitely a worrier, he heard that two of his friends almost died he immediately goes to them and fuses over them. And when their recovering he doesnt leave their side, infact Benjamin has to drag him away from the two just to get him to eat. And he refuses to sleep unless he's like directly on top of them. Yeah, Cletus challenges Grievous to a parkour challenge over a Delta Basalt, and he happily accepts. They end up giving everyone a heart attack after Cletus slips and almost falls onto a magma block. Jackie plays in soul sand and dumps a handful down Rans shirt, Watson teaches Charles and Isaac how to make gold from gold nuggets and more Piglin culture. When Cletus is cleared to be ok and Jackie stops getting soul sand in areas he didn't even know existed. They all sit in a circle and decide what they should try first, with Ran and Watson watching carefully and preventing them from drinking anything that they recognized as harmful. But other than that they just let the others do whatever. 

10: Because he couldn't use it, when Dream was a full human he used to be able to access his powers at his own will. But after his spirit got linked to his mask his power greatly reduced. To the point he relies on others for his powers, more specifically, he needs them to be exposed to him for a certain amount of time (like 2 weeks) until he can use their own essence/spirit to help his powers. When the group of people came after Ranbob left, they stayed for a long time, especially after they took the mask with them. Dream got the power back. Cause it is a "I worked to hard to give this up." Type situation. Ranbob was his first victim and the first person he had control over in decades, he considers Ranbob the puppet he was meant to have and refuses to let him go. Everyone is the nat to him, but specifically Ran. Cause Ran was the only person who survived the murders, so Dream sees him as a kill that was taken from him that he needs to fix. Everyone else to him is nothing more than an annoyance, and he's more than happy to use them as nothing more than a stepping stone to kill once he's done with them. 

13: Ran is stronger than everyone else, Jackie is faster than everyone else, and Watson is more acrobatic than everyone else. Sorry can you reword "Is Jackie considered stronger than them aside from shared tactics, or is it the other way around?"? I dont completely understand sorry. Kind of, I'll say. There can only be 3 ranking members, but it can also be 2 Corporals and 1 Sergeant. 

14: They where caught off guard, but also knew something must be going on due to the fishermen staying closer to Ranbob than normal. He never got too far, as he isnt very fast and Charles and both Isaac tend to be fast enough to get him. If the episode is really bad bringing him back can lead into physical fights but it rarely gets into that, as it seems like Ranbob really doesn't want to fight them most of the time, and holds himself back.

Well, I hope it’s working for you now, cause that sounds less than ideal, honestly.

1: Well, Mizu sounds gorgeous, quite frankly. As for the council having a member of no idol, what about that? People can get kicked out from an idol group? Why? Do some just never choose an idol? Also, how’s the housing situation there? Are there like, apartments on one of the floors, or something? Why does the council not really agree on outside affairs?

3: Not gonna lie, I’m rather curious. What kind of life did Benjamin lead to be under such heavy stress? Does he relate to Ranbob because of this? And what was he doing when he lived on his own to need to make fast-paced decisions? Also, siblings! What’re his siblings like?

8: He sounds like it.

And hm. There are several things I’ve taken from this. 

Do totems no longer exist, if they don’t believe Techno could have survived, or did that particular piece of the story just get left out over time?

Has Pandora’s vault fallen? And why would people find it unbelievable? If it’s the future, shouldn’t they have even more advanced technology than that? Or is it simply the lack of evidence that leads them to disagreeing about it’s existence? 

They don’t believe people would have been so cruel to the younger ones? Oof, um. Well, at least that says something about the future, I guess. 

Mizu sounds like it has an interesting history in it’s self. How do Ran and Ranbob feel about being in a world that basically shunned the people of what would eventually become their home? Do they ever have issues when people find out they originate from Mizu, or worship an idol? From how you put it, it seems like that wasn’t really looked upon well, since they shunted the people who did it to Mizu.

Friendships for the win! Maybe not close, but it sounds like an interesting dynamic. Charles honestly seems pretty mild, and as you said, shy, so putting him with Mr.Random And Chaotic certainly sounds like something. How did these two become friends?

And honestly, it sounds like everyone had a lot of unique experiences in the Nether. It also sounds like Ran and Ranbob were probably an inch from a heart-attack the entire time, considering the shenanigans ongoing. It sounds kind of cute that Ranbob was only sleeping when he was close to them though, and it gives me the image of a giant fluffy cat, so win-win there.

10: Interesting. Was Ranbob not enough to fully return that power to him when the Fishermen first came and took him? Or did Dream just not think they’d get that far and not react in time, when he still had that power from his puppet?

And, uh, wow. Dream was certainly off his rocker before, but that’s definitely cemented now. Is anyone aware he thinks of Ranbob in such a way? Does Ranbob know? How are everyone’s feelings on that-besides y’know, ‘gonna murder Mr.Mask Man’. How does everyone feel about being considered as ‘nats’?

13: Huh. And yeah, I confused myself rereading that. Basically, is Jackie considered stronger than those two? You said they were mostly on par, because of the shared tactics, so when it comes to cutting those shared tactics out of the picture, does Jackie come out on top?

14: So the gang could tell? If I may ask, what were the tells that gave Ranbob away?

[olddeltaknightsau]

Numbers 1, 1.5, and 5 are no longer applicable to the current state of the AU. If they were, I'd be done with this story already.

A better way to describe this is that these installments in the story will be like movie scripts with extra flare.

There are scripted moments, mostly dialogue, but they're blended with legitimate writing and detail like your average fanfiction.

To give you an example, all "episodes"(I'm calling them that because I wanna make a cartoon but can't animate but I love writing) of the series with the exclusion of the prologue have been 6k words to 8k words.

Though, this isn't going to be a restriction anymore, seeing as how the most recent episode that has finished production is the remake of episode 2, (I remade episodes 1 and 2 because they sucked) because that ended up being 10 thousand words long.

The only exceptions to this rule have been the .5 episodes, which are additions to the story that are important for certain characters and certain moments in the story, but are separated from the regular episodes and instead put in-between them because they aren't home to any major story beats or advancements to the story. These last from 1k to 4k words.

So far I've accomplished 11 full episodes, as well as done episodes 8.5 and 10.5., and I'm on the track to doing Episode 12.

So when is this gonna release?

...A little bit after the pandemic's over.

You see, I'm not releasing these episodes yet because the majority of the story takes place during a large pandemic that is sweeping both the Light World and the Dark World, an infection that is the centerpiece of the plot for reasons that will become obvious once you read the story.

It would be offensive to release such a story in this time. (Like the well-written, albeit poorly-timed Metal Virus saga in the IDW Sonic The Hedgehog books)

Yes, vaccines are out in the U.S., but they're not released in the rest of the world, and the COVID-19 infection is still a rather large presence in the U.S. regardless, therefore the pandemic is not over yet.

Believe me, if I were to release them now, I would, but I don't feel right posting a story like this instead of posting a story that tackles the actual virus we're going through in an interesting, realistic, and inoffensive way, at a time where the pandemic is still a presence.

And look on the bright side, the more time I get to myself to work on this story and polish its claws, the more content you'll get on a consistent basis when it does come out.

That way, you get a better story, and you experience more of it on, say, a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly basis, depending on how much I have finished by the time the pandemic's said and done and we're over it. While that's happening, I'd be able to work on whatever I haven't finished, plus even more new stuff because I have plans for this series.

So I'd say this is kind of a good thing in the end.

I'd release this story at a time when a pandemic is far from the world's concerns, you get content at a consistent rate, and I get to work on more stuff while not having to worry about handing out content at a consistent rate.

So, all one of you, just be patient, the story will be here eventually.

If anything, I apologize for starting this blog way too soon.

I made promises, got at least a few people excited, and it's been more than a year, and I haven't lived up to any of those.

But that'll change.

I'll make sure of it.

EDIT: Also I'm trying to stay as close to source material as possible when it comes to the original Undertale game and the first chapter of Deltarune. Because of circumstances and creative freedom, Delta Knights takes place in a universe where none of the inevitable follow-ups to Deltarune ever existed, with only the first chapter remaining canon, therefore sticking only to what we know for sure about The Dark World, its rules, and characters, while the rest of the gaps are filled in with original lore, characters, and original versions of characters. Which means yes, the original lore for Undertale will be involed, no, it won't connect directly to Deltarune...somewhat. So Frisk, Chara, and Papyrus, like the UT characters appearing in Deltarune, are NOT the same Frisk, Chara, and Papyrus from the original game, if that was ever a thought that went through anyone's minds because apparently some people think Deltarune is a sequel or prequel to Undertale.

Update.

Hey.

I'm sorry there hasn't been, uh...Any content here since I posted what's basically the, well, basics of this AU.

Stuff is coming, I assure you, but right now I'm being hit with some writer's block, so I can't exactly act on any of the ideas I have right now.

What I can tell you is what will be coming here in the future.

I will be showing the following things:

1. Basically a script/breakdown of the entire story so far, though you'll have to wait a while for that one. I'd love to do a completely written fanfiction of this, but judging by previous projects that have fell on their faces, I think it's best that isn't the direction I take for this AU. I've dabbled in fanfictions before, and I've never finished any of them because I keep viewing it all as work, yet I keep trying to force myself to work on it and that just makes me uninterested in progressing. You have no idea how badly I want this AU to be finished, so I'm gonna take breaks when I'm just not feeling it.

1.5. However, there might be completely written versions of some moments in the story.

2. Character Bios detailing the backstories, powers, skills, affiliations, and interests of the cast of this AU. There will be characters old and new introduced here.

3. There will be a complete logo made for this AU.

4. So, I can't make a soundtrack on my own. I'm just not one for making music, but what I can do is have OST names, along with what I imagine those songs sounding like. So...That'll happen at some point.

5. Gameplay descriptions. The Delta Knights AU, if it was a game, would be completely different from your expectations, so I think it's best I show off my ideas on what this game would be like if it, y'know, was a game.

Now, here's one more important thing to note before I end this post.

This is my story.

Not your headcanon.

I'm stating this because there will be a lot of decisions made in this story that don't align with what people usually percieve the characters as, nor will it align completely with Toby's official works, though that alone is obvious.

Like for example, Ralsei is Asriel in this AU.

Another example, The Dark World is real in this AU.

Yet another example, Kris, Frisk, and Chara are not siblings in this AU.

You see where I'm going with this?

If so, good. So please, when reading about the story and characters of this AU, the characters especially, please don't shove your headcanons down my throat. And don't shove the canon down my throat either, please.

Thank you for your time and patience, and I hope you enjoy what's to come in this AU.

(Also, we hit 10+ followers! Yeah it's not much, like, at all, but it proves that at least some people see potential in this AU. Thanks.)

Anime that my cousin has shown me that I'll also rec to you

I've realized that I've recently watched and completed a lot of anime that my cousin has shown me that I ended up liking a lot more than I thought I would, so I thought I'd recommend some to you guys.

Katanagatari, a 2010 anime from White Fox (who has also done The Devil is a Part Timer, Re:Zero, and Steins;Gate).

Katanagatari is about a young man named Shichika Yasuri who is a swordsman who fights without a sword. Shichika is sought out by Togame, a strategist who wants him to help her seek out the twelve Deviant blades (a set of twelve blades that were created by alchemy and magic by a reclusive swordsmith) as a gift to the shogunate. Shichika agrees and travels around Japan with Togame to challenge each of the wielders of the Deviant blades to obtain the blades.

This anime is so hard to recommend which is such a shame because it’s such a wonderful anime. The art style of Katanagatari is so wonderful to look at and very pleasing to the eye. All the characters are dynamic and easily identifiable from one another, and their designs are so distinct and colorful. The story telling is wonderful and has a nice balance to action, romance, comedy, and drama. Seeing the relationship between Shichika and Togame grow is so nice and their relationship is pretty cute, and it’s nice how they grow to care for each other. But what makes this anime so hard to recommend is that it’s only 12 episodes long with each episode being about 50 minutes long, but each episode is about 45 minutes of dialogue and about 5 minutes of action. It’s pretty boring to just sit down and watch it which is a shame because it’s such a fascinating anime to watch with an interesting story and wonderful characters of every kind.

Tiger & Bunny, a 2011 anime from Sunrise (who you may also know from Gundam anime and the Love Live series). 

I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of people have already watched this anime given how wonderful it is, it’s almost a crime that I’ve only just recently watched it. For those who haven’t watched it, Tiger & Bunny is set in a world where some people have special powers called “NEXT” and are heroes. In this world, acts of heroism are displayed on televisions around the city in some sort of reality competition where heroes compete for the most points for doing acts of heroism to be ranked the best hero of the season. The main characters are Kotetsu T. Kaburagi, an old fashioned hero who has been losing popularity, and Barnaby Brooks Jr., a new young up and coming hero. Both heroes have the exact same power and have been forced to team up in which Kotetsu is to act as the sidekick to Barnaby’s main hero though the two don’t get along well due to their conflicting opinions.

I went into the anime for the main boys Kotetsu (a clumsy dad) and Barnaby (a serious but handsome young man) but stayed for the plot and the characters. The cast of other heroes is so wonderful. There will definitely be characters that you don’t like as much as others, but there aren’t really heroes that you’ll dislike either (at least for me). The growth between Kotetsu and Barnaby is really nice too, pretty organic in my opinion. It’s so rewarding seeing them grow together and their genuine care for one another. The anime only has one season (which is such a shame, I would love a second season) and two movies - the first movie being a recap of the anime series and the second movie being a sort of continuation, if I remember correctly. The anime is a full season long with 25 episodes for those who wanted to know. My little paragraphs don’t really do the characters or the shows justice but I recommend giving it a shot if you haven’t watched it, especially if you’re a fan of superhero type shows.

Working!! series, otherwise known as Wagnaria!!, it’s a 2010 anime series from A-1 Pictures (who you may also know from Sword Art Online, Magi, Black Butler, etc. they've done so much anime oh my god.)

I haven’t heard a lot about Working!! or even seen a lot from the series either. I know there’s been a lot of parodies done of the OPs and EDs because they’re really humorous and the songs are cute, but that’s about it. It’s a comedy anime with some romance in it. It features a high school student, Takanashi Souta, who begins working at a family restaurant chain with a cast of colorful employees who are noticeably weird to the otherwise rather normal Takanashi, though admittedly all the characters are weird. The anime is pretty light hearted and really only focuses on Takanashi and the antics that go on in the restaurant. Though a rather comedic series, the characters grow rather well over the span of the three seasons it has and it’s pretty refreshing seeing how they all change and interact with each other over the course of the series. The romances are pretty rewarding to see at the end of the series given how much you ended up rooting for them during the three seasons (and i’ve reblogged a bunch of scenes from the anime because I love it that much). Working!! has a total of three seasons (Working!!, Working’!!, and then Working!!!) with all three seasons having a total episode count of 40 episodes and one hour long special to close off the series. If you’re looking for something fun and light hearted, I recommend Working!!.

There is also WWW.Working!! which is set in a different branch of the restaurant from the first series and features a different cast of characters. WWW.Working!! features high school student, Higashida Daisuke, who begins begrudgingly working at the family restaurant when his father’s business goes bankrupt. The cast is just as wacky yet memorable as the ones from the first  series, though they suffer from not having nearly as much character development as the cast from the original Working!! due to only having a half season (13 episodes), though the characters are just as funny and the relationships are pretty satisfying to watch unfold. Between the original and WWW.Working, I prefer the original but WWW.Working is still pretty good for anyone who wants something fun and comedic to watch.

Yuki Yuna wa Yusha de Aru, a 2014 anime from Studio Gokumi (who has also recently done Tsurezure Children).

I don’t actually know if Yuki Yuna is well known or not since I don’t actively look up magical girl anime, which is what Yuki Yuna is. But it’s similar to Puella Magi Madoka Magica in that it’s a darker take on the magical girl genre. The story is about Yuki Yuna, the titular protagonist, who is a part of the Hero Club at her school which dedicates itself to helping people who request aid. Yuna and her friends eventually gain the ability to transform into magical girls with special powers and they dedicate themselves to protecting the world from doom.

Yuki Yuna is such a fascinating anime to me because it’s the kind of anime that has you pay attention to the smallest details in order to help you understand what is happening to the girls as the series progresses. It’s very fascinating watching every thing unravel and occur as the episodes go on and when you’re able to piece things together for yourself at the end of the series, it’s incredibly satisfying for the viewer. As mentioned before, Yuki Yuna is similar to Madoka Magica in that they’re both darker takes on the magical girl genre of anime so fans of Madoka Magica may also enjoy Yuki Yuna. But between the two shows, I prefer Yuki Yuna. In my opinion, Yuki Yuna does a good job of making me sympathize for the characters in a way that I didn’t really experience with the Madoka Magica cast. It’s an emotional journey for the characters and the ending is incredibly satisfying.

Macross Delta, a 2016 anime from Studio Nue and Satelight.

Macross Delta is the fourth TV series in the Macross series. It’s a sci-fi anime that features transforming mechas, space, romance, and music. As a person who isn’t really into mecha anime (except for Gurren Lagann), I thought I wasn’t really going to like the anime, but I actually ended up really liking it! Macross Delta takes place in a part of space that is plagued by a disease known as Var Syndrome, which turns people berserk but has no known cause. The series follows Hayate Immelman, a young man who dreams of flying and is recruited into the Delta Flight squad in order to protect the people he cares about, and Freyja Wion, a Windermerean girl who ran away from home with dreams of joining the idol group Walküre, who use their power of song to calm those affected with Var Syndrome. Walküre performs alongside Delta Flight squad in battle in order to neutralize the effects of Var Syndrome, even when the Delta Flight squad is forced to fight on the front lines of an upcoming war.

Macross Delta is such a weird combination of anime genres that you wouldn’t think they’d work but they do. The combat scenes in the anime are complimented really well with the songs from Walküre. The songs are all really catchy and really good quality, and I haven’t been able to stop listening to them. The Macross series is pretty infamous for love triangles and Macross Delta is no exception. While love triangles typically aren’t my thing, I think they handled it decently and it was rewarding to see who ends up together at the end of the series. Macross Delta is such an odd combination of genres, but I recommend it for those who like music and mechas. The series is one season long (26 episodes).

Macross Frontier, a 2008 anime from Studio Nue and Satelight.

Macross Frontier is the third TV series in the Macross series. Same as Macross Delta, it’s a sci-fi anime with transforming mechas, space, romance, and music, but with a style of music that was more prominent during the time it came out. I actually watched Macross Delta before I watched Macross Frontier and Delta is actually set some time after the events of Frontier, but I enjoyed Frontier just a bit more. Macross Frontier is set on a heavily populated interstellar ship that has it’s course set for the center of the universe and along the way the ship is attacked by a race of insect-like aliens known as Vajra, which brings the humans into a war with them. Frontier follows three protagonists: Saotome Alto who is a canonically pretty young man and a high school student at an academy for training pilots and dreams of flying in a real sky rather than the simulated one aboard the space ship, Sheryl Nome who is a self assured and proud popular pop idol known as the Galactic Fairy, and Ranka Lee who is a cheery girl who dreams of being a pop idol like Sheryl Nome.

Frontier is similar to Macross Delta in that there is plenty of space fights in transforming mechas alongside pop music. The romance triangle is just as prominent but I think the end ship is also satisfying because of how the relationships between the characters develop. Frontier deals with a lot of anime tropes that were prominent during the time (you’ll know them when you see them), but I think it’s worth it to watch past them for the season finale which has been one of my favorite finales for a show in a long time. The characters are good and likable and some of them even experience romances of their own and it’s interesting to see where they’ll end up at the end of the series. The show is a full season with 25 episodes and two movies: Macross Frontier: The False Songstress and Macross Frontier: The Wings of Goodbye. The False Songstress is an alternate telling of Frontier while The Wings of Goodbye acts as a sequel to the first movie and includes new songs.It’s fascinating seeing the characters grow during the show and the show has an incredible cast of voice actors too (if you’re particular about the seiyuus in the show) and a few of my favorites are there like Nakamura Yuuichi, Hiroshi Kamiya, Tomokazu Sugita, and Nakajima Megumi (the voice of Gumi from Vocaloid).
