Okay so I just finished watching Cottbus Kopflos and Vincent is officially an Office Princess. Rogov and Wiktor are fighting to get his attention. It's great.
Now, for the episode itself... (spoilers ahead)
Well... It was quite strange. The writing is a lot less smooth than the previous ones. The way Vincent and Alex interact during the entire episode, like they're not sure how to even talk to each other? Very strange, and there's a lack of natural banter (there's some good bits though). I get that they wanted to make it look like the situation is professionally weird for them, but they're professional, they're capable adults, and it also felt like they tried to "tone them down" a little bit.
When Vincent first met Adam, who was very reluctant, it was a lot more natural and flowing. Alex is a nice person, she's positive (for what we know at least), and Vincent is also an open character. I expected them to find more things in common than what this awkward duo gave us.
I should also be used to see a previous actors from the same show in a new role in German shows, but I have to say that seeing "Lydia" was weird. And at first I really thought it was her but no. It's an entirely different character. Strange choice considering Alex and Vincent have Adam in common.
This episode still gave us some really nice shots of Vincent. Also, the ring is still there, very much in view, and still not addressed. Even less backstory in this episode.
In the end, we got more character development with Rogov, Wiktor and Marian! We got to see, even briefly, how they work together, how they get along (kind of). It was great to see Rogov and Marian be less confrontational, and even nicer to see how Rogov and Wiktor act like when it comes to Vincent. Very cute. And yes, Vincent telling Rogov he misses him (as in here) was unexpected. And very cute. The trio back at the border station should be more present on screen next!

Do you:
1. Love and miss hunter x hunter
2. Love funny and insightful analysis about your favorite show hunter x hunter
3. Want to hear someone experience the show for the first time with very little exposure to shonen and hear them fall in love with it
4. Want to know about Demon World Theory
Then you should listen to Media Club Plus!
It is a media analysis podcast by cast members of Friends at the Table (tabletop actual play podcast (don’t worry if that means nothing to you) (for now)) who deep dive on the various themes of the show and its music and also discuss who is boyfriends
I’ve had a wonderful time following along with this show, especially as Jack, the aforementioned newbie, makes many accurate predictions about where the show will might go, but mostly in ways they would never have expected.
The first episode in their feed is the audio from when their friends made them analyze misleading screenshots from the show, with conclusions like “this gorilla playing dodgeball is a named character” (false) and “this businessman watching people play rock paper scissors is not a main character” (false, it’s our guy leorio).
The show updates biweekly on Tuesdays and they just started Greed Island! That means all of Yorknew city is out there for your listening ears, get the pod on their site or on any podcast app of your choice!!!

so im not sure if anyones interested, but, i went through quite a bunch of totk critiques by people who were also very disappointed with it and thought id share my favorite videos i found (granted, i only really wachted those that youtube recommened and its mostly .. white men... things like the orientalism problem are not mentioned at all for example, maybe ill update this post if i find any more diverse voices)
i dont agree with every single point and also dont know most of the channels (aside from the big zelda theory guys) so i judged solely by what they mentioned in those videos and the quality of it (like the audio .. bc i cant listen to bad audio)
in no particular order, also they talk about or use footage of the literal ending stuff so if you arent done with the game yet, better leave these for now
(the following one is a podcast thing by multiple zelda theory guys, there some stuff you can skip at the start thats just kidna random things, but the video is marked with chapters)
(theres some mention of some things not making sense, like the sonau only being two, and ithink thats kinda bc the english translation was weirdly vague about that, in the german version its much more directly said that they all died out and only rauru and mineru were left of them;
also mentions of how unfitting it is to call the enigma stones "secret"stones in english might come from a similar thing; in german they where called "Mysterienstein" which would be translated as mystic/mysterious/enigma- stone
just wanted to mention that since the vast majority are gonna play it in english only and the stuff online is also dominated by english)

just imagine charlie being the only other character in the hotel to understand Alastor's sayings and gripes about the modern world. She's even older than he is, those two could have so much to talk about. I'm still fairly young but I have plenty of gripes about the modern world, I just know those two old ladies could find something to share lol.
I adore Charlie and Alastor as characters, and I adore your art! All of your art is damn cute to me, it's great! I need more of charlie and alastor interacting and being silly in my life, romantic or platonic doesn't matter to me lmao.
You are just like me for real 😭 when the pilot came out I was so intrigued with Alastor and Charlie they immediately clicked for me and became my favourite pair of the show (tho now that the first season is out all of Alastor's other relationships stole my heart lmao but I still love them a lot) the "big bad villain who initially wanted to manipulate the sunshine character ends up accidently getting attached to them" trope is like one of my favourite tropes ever and they have the potential to become just that so I'm really invested in what their storyline will be I'M SO EXCITED
AND YEAH the fact that the hotel was already so has-been looking before Alastor showed up makes me think Charlie is similar to him, she's more up to date than him regarding new technologies ofc but I just know my girl loves vintage stuff ahah
(Also I want them to have a duo song in the next seasons SO BAD no offense to Heaven 2 Hell I love this song but I need something new it's been 4 years lol)
