[windydrawallday]

Lil' quick thank you doodle to the people that keep supporting me here and especially for these two rascals 💚

Not gonna lie: half of the past month was rough with me and made me put on hold a lot of stuff planned since the past year... years, idk anymore orz

I know is temporal but still, feels like time is only going thinner every moment I look back at all I did. I'm glad I have a hope barrel deeper than the sea abyss but, you know?

Is hella nice to be reminded that what I do is cherished and enjoyed!

summer 2019 anime sum-up

lmao i realized i never did this and posted the fall season b4 this.... oops

kimetsu no yaiba: tbh started out kinda meh. and now it’s turned into one of the new big shounens. i was not expecting that. nearing the end got rly good and i was rly looking forward to more episodes! tanjiro gets cooler and cooler! animation is rly nice (thanks ufotable) and the way tanjiro’s water is animated. like. aesthetic asf. it’s so good. i love black-haired emo dude and zenitsu (my spirit animal) and ofc nezuko she is adorable im c r y. side note: the hashira? i think they’re called? some of the ugliest fkn characters i’ve seen in ages like flame boy? stone boy? i HATE them. and the gem dude too like man get a new tattoo artist on god.... he needs it.,,,,,,and inosuke is so pretty it’s unfair

dr stone: ok man dr stone rly went off. tbh. i’ve always been a whore for chemistry since reading the flavia de luce series (btw, i want more books of) and watching this just tickles my noodle brain in a good way... who needs prozac when i get a shitton of serotonin from watching senku dick around....  (btw what is going on with what’s his face and the girl. yuzuriha????? i can’t remember. i love senku don’t get me wrong but i need their perspective too... bc i hate lion dude... so much.... dick....) again i will repeat that i am a whore for chemistry so i get oFF on this. backgrounds are amazing/ animation so nice n clean (most o the time lmao). i thought i would hate the black n white haired trickster boi and ms yellow ponytail and suika but no! dr stone is such a good show that they are now great, loveable characters. also i am senku and chrome’s whore so jfc. man, i love the explanations of all the chemistry shabang, but some things i think would be better if explained! like senku doing physical labour at the beginning- ex. making all those pots and building that shit by hisself. i know he weak af. yes he smart but like. construction? difficult. pottery? even for me the artist . difficult. and that shed of his was filled to the brim. HOW. anyways, i love this so much i am crying constantly

just realized i didnt need to write about dr stone. oh well. 

danmachi 2: wtf yo. haruhime is so pretty but not a fan of her personality! bell still cute af and still don’t rly like aiz! animation good as always, and my god i shit myself whenever the argonaut theme starts up bc that is ? one of the best pieces of non-sawano hiroyuki pieces i’ve ever heard? addicted to it. and the opening! love the dynamics, the brief ‘rain’ scenes like when mikoto slashes the raindrops and just her motion basically? as an animator that is what i aspire to accomplish because i just love that. tiny little scene. 

arifureta: this would have been so much better had they dragged out mc’s op-ifying process! made him suffer more! i explained this briefly in my ‘first thoughts’ post for this season, but story-wise and pacing-wise his power-up could have been so much more deserved and gratifying. think shield hero- loser suffers, gets angry, slowly builds up power in an epic payoff! would have been so epic too. and also if they’d made his gained powers less.... crazy nerfed. again: HE SHOULD HAVE SUFFERED MORE AND THIS WOULD HAVE MADE A BETTER SHOW. harem thoughts: yue- meh. sucky char honestly. shea- my fav girl, she is a great character don’t judge- sexy and love her personality and love her character design and love how much fanservice she gets lol. panty flash ftw. dragon girl- discount darkness honestly , tho nice design. and mermaid girl- yuck, annoying,  DO NOT like the ‘papa’ trope! (ahem sao.) it’s gross. also just fuck mc’s classmates honestly- paladin dude sucks ass, healer girl OOF that last episode ruined her, samurai girl is ok i guess. hate ai-sensei too like shut UPP annoying ass HOEEEEE (postscript: opening=very epic too)

kanata no astra: plot twist? check. trillion well-done plot twists? check. this was done very well. i am so happy. all those plot twists and turns would usually suck in any regular anime- but this was written with GODLIKE ability. thank you, lerche. legit, this was such an enjoyable ride, i eagerly awaited each new ep! typically i hate space-related stuff but like! survival stuff gets my goat.... like this was good- (tho maybe more technical-stuff in the survival theme would make it so cooler) what shocked me the most: (spoilers alert) didn’t end up hating quitterie or funi. (tho the puppet made me want to strangle smth) luca’s gender had rly confused me but i’d decided on him being a boy- so basically that reveal left me like WHOA. i died. did luca rly have to show emo boy their tity tho... kanata losing his arm gave me the yeeeks, charce being the traitor was made sO WELL into a surprise even tho i’d kinda already suspected him<- like that was just fucking amazing writing there. gj. and ares the princess! ok man! shocked! AND also the whole clone thing, just fucked me right up. up the ass. like there are probably more plot twist layers in this than a fkn ogre has.... anyway shrek aside, yun?’s character arc was very pleasing, i think that was done very well! and the ending made me UwU like BRO? goals tbh. yeah this is a hidden gem and is just so good, so well-written overall. 

cop craft: didn’t have high expectations. i am now,,, quite,,, shocked &,,, blown away. sweetheart this is a good fucking show. so why @ livechart.me DOES IT HAVE 7.40 STARS WHEN FKN ARIFURETA HAS 7.72. can someone explain this to me? i’m outraged. LIVID.  matoba and tilarna were amazing characters btw! loved their dynamic! briefly i thought it might get romantic! nope, it didn’t, so it’s all good. actions scenes were epic, tilarna’s design and outfits were so much nicer than i thought they’d be like. she is so cute. and the op- man, if that is not such a bopper vibe then idk what is. i could watch it forever. it deserves so much more than what it’s got rn.

naka no hito genome: (serious question: is this considered some sort of isekai?) genome gave me btooom vibes honestly but like- this is SO much better than btooom and most game/trap/ kinda shows. fkn BOP of an op, especially the sequence at the end with short clips of each character in action (nutt). paka-san was a good boy and he deserves irl merch. i fell in LOve with all the characters (bubble boy= hot, akatsuki= ok meh actually kinda boring, karin= hot and i want her to punch me, ruromori= beautiful 12/10 would let her stalk me, sleepy eyes boy= baby + dazai vibes and hot af, twin boy= also hot, onigasaki= hot and love him so much, and loli girl= her light grenades got annoying but nice char design) anyways yeah more of this would be epic. i wanna see sakura and her twin reunite, and how they get out basically! also animation quality was very good which is surprising considering it’s a silver link anime.

kono yo no hate de koi wo utau shoujo yu-no: i include the whole title bc this is a good anime. (also livechart.me why 7.27 stars i will fuck you up) only meh part of this is the return to earth from dela granto bc that was like a culture shock and honestly at that point i’d forgotten a lot about what had happened on earth and didn’t care as much. btw, f ayumi and f the other brown-haired oneesan. mio and kanna ftw. obvs i didn’t understand the sayless x takuya thing like dumbass horny teenager . why u gotta creampie the worst girl. u have mio. bruh. (tho mio x ‘oyabi!’ boy is a great ship) also, takuya’s mom? keiko-san? idk if you’ve noticed but that’s literally my name so yeah just glad to finally have some keiko representation. altogether goodass anime. the time travel/ rezero esque reset thing almost got me but this was done well. so no problems. both ops very good. first song was bae, second also bae (just realized it’s by konomi suzuki, one of my waifu idols, so yea nice) and ed2 also so pretty! also yu-no’s design was rly pretty, the outfit colours, and her pigtails rly suited her :)

granbelm: sorry this is the last one lol this was a long ass post! other than the fact i dont rly like mecha this was good.... action, CHARACTER designs aesthetic asf, honestly rly pretty ok. i liked the cast, very diverse and more depth than most shows of this ilk. op was nicely choreographed- especially the part where the girls’ faces are contorted by their gems, showing their magical girl side. nicely done. mangetsu didn’t end up being that bad a char, and honestly? suigetsu is best girl and deserved better. and the ending too- like, bro, that made me kinda sad. some off points: anna’s mom was a little unrealistic as a mom like woman- please learn to control your child, and, white-haired girl’s sister should have played a bigger part, based on how her parts in the opening were emphasized! (quick note- blue girl, love her, great bad guy, when she dumped anna made me so happy honestly, she is beautiful, and i couldn’t actually decide who i wanted to win between her and suigetsu....)

hope u enjoyed this bad review. pls share ur opinions w/ me on some of of these more controversial shows. thank.

I had a very odd dream! I was playing a lets play of ff7 but the game was very different.

I remember there was something about having builder units on the world map like it was an RTS or something? And there were multiple continents but all the story events could happen on any of them. It was like FFTA where you choose where to place important locations, so nibelheim could be near the start or end of the game and would have all the levels of all the plot stuff adjusted to fit.

I remember i was placing some sort of skull-shapes mountain area that was supposed to be an endgame bonus dungeon but i unlocked it early and was gonna try and cheat thru it with lower levels. Apparantly i ran a speedrun channel in the dreamverse?

Now yknow how ff7 save points are those rotating sparkly question marks? Here there was a new type of those that was shaped like a translucent glowing sword. And apparantly they were super rare and had a random chance of spawning every time u went to a dungeon? They let you add a fourth party member from a list of every monster you'd fought so far. And apparantly raised your "bravery stat" but the dream didnt really explain that.

So my dream speedrun strategy involved entering the first battle in the cave, defeating one enemy (a centipede that rolled up into a hula hoop for some reason) and then running from that battle. Cos the first battle in the cave had a story event associated with it, it would have the characters sayin somethin like "wow these monsters are extra strong!" "Yeah watch out this is the legendary dungeon" or something. So players knew it was meant to be postgame content and to quit if theyre underlevelled. But if you ran away without completing the fight then the event wasnt marked as completed and itd continue to repeat itself in the next fight, which was VITALLY IMPORTANT. So part 1 of the speedrun was resetting until you got the luck of your first fight being multiple enemies so you could defeat one centipede but still run away. Now you had to reset until you got the lucky save point that let you equip that centipede as a party member! And then in your next battle (which would play the same event), youd hope the uncontrollable AI for the enemy party member used a certain attack on the first turn. A move that would usually be kind of a bad thing- "full hp restore to both enemies and allies". But a quirk of the programming meant that if enemy hp was reset to its starting value AND you had that event in the same battle, itd think "oh its the start of the battle time to play that event" and also "no i cant do that ive already done it once ERROR DOES NOT COMPUTE!" So somehow the clash of game logic would result in the battle automatically ending and dumping you back out on the map screen, albiet with no exp earned. But now you have an instant win button for every fight so why would you need exp! A button that only works in this particular dungeon and requires a shitload of resetting to pull off in the fastest way, but still good!

And apparantly the previous speedrun record was someone who exploited this bug by resetting until an enemy centipedr used the move in the first battle, and then reset until every following battle also contained a centepede who also used the move on the first turn. Apparantly it was a marathon stream where they stayed up for 48 hours, like only a speedrun on the game click but waaaaay longer IRL! But the problem with this is that you didnt have a centepede in the final boss battle so you'd always have to fight that legitimately and itd be super challenging while underlevelled. So there were people who thought my speedrun was better cos the party member centepede had easier chances to do the move and it took less IRL time, plus you could skip the final boss just as easily as any other. But other people who'd watched the marathon stream thought i was a loser in comparison cos i wasnt doing it the hard way that required si much skill and dedication. And ive kinda gotta agree that dream-me seemed like a jerk, just goibg for the "ha ha im better"! If it was really me i'd start the whole thing by giving a shoutout to the original speedrunner who originally discovered the glitch, and be like "please watch their stream if you wanna see a more climactic and awesome battle that impresses me every time! This version is shorter only because it skips a lot of the challenge."

Anyway the hula hoop centipede was cute.
