Road to Berlin Episode 8 Highlights: Part 3, New Beginnings

Episode 8 was Minna’s best showing in Road to Berlin to date. Honestly, my Minna quota for the week had been met as much as possible, considering the episode was about Sanya and Eila to begin with.

But little did I know that episode 8 was only a prelude to things to come. When I started watching the preview for episode 9, I lost my mind.

By now, you hopefully know that I’m an avid Minna fangirl. I love her, I truly do, which is why it’s pained me to see her neglected for years. She had plenty to do in Season 1, but in Season 2, things took a turn for the worst. Minna was stuck behind her desk, so much so that Season 2′s fanservice episode lampshaded it directly.

In effect, Minna hasn’t had an episode revolving around her, as a person, since Season 1. I’m not saying she didn’t have stuff to do, but it mostly involved her worrying over Mio, and in recent times, giggling at Gertrud’s unintended antics. Anything about Minna that didn’t come back to her empathy for others has essentially been on hold since the end of Season 1.

But next week, that’s finally going to change!

Before I started watching the preview, I asked myself a question: What would I rather see? More character spotlight episodes, or the beginning of a month-long push to Berlin? In the end, I decided on the latter. Having Operation Southwind spread out over four episodes would serve to hammer home the scope and struggles of the mission.

But from what I can see, it seems that Road to Berlin intends on giving us a character spotlight episode coupled with the beginnings of a push. A highly ambitious endeavor to be sure. And to start with a Minna-centric episode, wow! I couldn’t have hoped for more!

Back when I made a post after the season’s halfway point, I questioned where a Minna-focused episode could even be taken. At the time, I entertained the thought of pairing her up with Lynne. Not only can Lynne use some more love, but supplemental material shows that Lynne has the makings of a commander. Both Minna and Gertrud feel Lynne could be one, a successor to Minna if you will, but she still has much to learn. An episode where Minna mentors Lynne could be amazing.

But that still doesn’t do much for Minna’s personal life. So what to do then? Road to Berlin has the answer, an answer I’ve written about myself but never dared to hope for:

Minna, thinking about her future! The future she wants, the future she can allow herself to dream about. It’s such a good route to take with her that I almost teared up right then and there. What could we be seeing next week, I wonder? Minna ruminating on past, present and future? Thinking about what she’d like to do, after the war’s over and Karlsland can be rebuilt? Perhaps we could even hope for another hauntingly beautiful song from her? I can only imagine!

On to the actual preview, though, because there’s plenty of material here. As you could see in the second screenshot, Minna’s explaining some sort of plan to other people. The start of Operation Southwind?

We see what appears to be a conversation between Minna and Gertrud. Perhaps they’re discussing their futures. Minna’s fond smile certainly seems to indicate something like that.

I assume Erica will also be present during this conversation, and maybe Ursula too. Still, part of me can’t help but wonder and dream its own, silly dreams. What if it is just the two of them? What if they‘re going to have a tender heart-to-heart? Could there even be a hug? 

(I know I know, Trude x Erica is all but canon since episode 6. It was so romantic that even I started referring to Erica as Gertrud’s wife. But part of me wants to hope for something. It doesn’t have to be overtly romantic; a simple touch or a fun shared moment will do. Something that further cements the strong friendship these two have.

Tl;dr: I want Minna x Trude hugs!)

Ahem! Anyway...

I was momentarily perplexed by this reused footage from episode 6. Yes, the sky is much different; the lighting is darker all around, and the sky is clouded instead of clear, but it’s undeniably the same shot. Road to Berlin has reused footage a couple of times, but I’ve always felt like it was within acceptable parameters, so it never bothered me much. This was really odd, though. I still wonder if this is actually some sort of dream sequence.

But it probably isn’t, because it led into this:

Holy crap. Holy crap! That’s not Minna’s Striker; it’s not even a reciprocating Striker. That’s a Jet Striker!

I’d expected the Jet to make a return in some form, but when Shirley and Gertrud’s episodes passed without any mention of it, I assumed we weren’t going to see one of these again. But lo and behold, we hear Ursula Hartmann’s voice in the preview, and Minna is the one wielding the awesome power of a Jet! What a subversion of my expectations!

And finally, we received the title of episode 9 (and a fun Sanya-shaped detail in the background). It’s perfect, that’s all I can say.

I honestly have no idea where episode 9 is going to pick up. Maybe we’re seeing final preparations for Operation Southwind, and the aerial battle is simply a defensive one at Kiel. They certainly seem to be lacking in proper coffee, so maybe they’ve moved to Kiel temporarily.

We also heard Gertrud, Erica and Ursula’s voices during the voiceover, so they’ll likely feature with varying degrees of importance. Perhaps they’ll all chip in with reflections on a peaceful future.

But one thing’s for sure: Minna’s thoughts and feelings, her hopes and dreams, those are going to be the real heart of the episode. And I can’t wait!

Motherless Brooklyn di Edward Norton inaugura la Festa del cinema di Roma 2019

Alle ore 19.30, la Sala Sinopoli dell’Auditorium Parco della Musica ospiterà il film di apertura della quattordicesima edizione della Festa del cinema di Roma, Motherless Brooklyn – I segreti di una città di Edward Norton.

“Il cinema italiano ha avuto un impatto enorme sui miei gusti e le mie aspirazioni da cineasta – ha affermato il regista – e quindi aprire la Festa del Cinema di Roma con il mio film è la realizzazione di un desiderio. È davvero un grande onore e ne sono estremamente felice. E credo che, sebbene si tratti di un’epopea americana e di un noir ambientato a New York, il pubblico italiano sentirà immediatamente la risonanza dei temi nell’ambito del loro vissuto più recente”.

Il tre volte candidato all’Oscar Edward Norton (Birdman, American History X, Schegge di paura) ha diretto, scritto, prodotto e interpretato Motherless Brooklyn – I segreti di una città. Norton interpreta Lionel Essrog, un solitario detective privato affetto dalla sindrome di Tourette, che si avventura a risolvere l’omicidio del suo mentore ed unico amico, Frank Minna. Armato solo di pochi indizi e della sua mentalità ossessiva, Lionel svela lentamente dei segreti gelosamente custoditi che tengono in equilibrio il destino dell’intera New York. In un mistero che lo porta dai jazz club grondanti di gin di Harlem ai bassifondi di Brooklyn e, infine, ai salotti dorati dei potenti mediatori di New York, Lionel si scontra con i criminali, la corruzione e l’uomo più pericoloso della città per onorare il suo amico e salvare la donna che potrebbe essere la sua stessa salvezza. Sul red carpet del film, alle ore 19, ci saranno Edward Norton con Gugu Mbatha-Raw e Bobby Cannavale. Motherless Brooklyn – I segreti di una città sarà proiettato in replica alle ore 20 presso la Sala Petrassi e alle ore 21 presso la Frecciarossa Cinema Hall.

La quattordicesima edizione della Festa del Cinema di Roma che si terrà fino al 27 ottobre con la direzione artistica di Antonio Monda, prodotta dalla Fondazione Cinema per Roma, Presidente Laura Delli Colli, Direttore Generale Francesca Via. L’Auditorium Parco della Musica sarà il fulcro dell’evento, con le sue sale di proiezione e il red carpet. Come ogni anno, la Festa coinvolgerà numerosi altri luoghi della Capitale, dal centro alla periferia.

Motherless Brooklyn – I segreti di una città, il film

Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton) è un solitario detective privato afflitto dalla sindrome di Tourette, che si avventura a risolvere l’omicidio del suo mentore ed unico amico, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armato solo di pochi indizi e della sua mentalità ossessiva, Lionel svela lentamente dei segreti gelosamente custoditi che tengono in equilibrio il destino dell’intera New York. In un mistero che lo porta dai jazz club grondanti di gin di Harlem ai bassifondi di Brooklyn e, infine, ai salotti dorati dei potenti mediatori di New York, Lionel si scontra con i teppisti, la corruzione e l’uomo più pericoloso della città, per onorare il suo amico e salvare la donna che potrebbe essere la sua stessa salvezza.

Edward Norton ha diretto, scritto, prodotto e recitato in “Motherless Brooklyn – I Segreti di una città”. La trasposizione della storia sul grande schermo è iniziata nel 1999, quando Norton ha colto il potenziale cinematografico del romanzo di Jonathan Lethem Motherless Brooklyn e del suo indelebile personaggio centrale. Ma sin dall’inizio, Norton mirava a trasporre i personaggi contemporanei di Lethem in una trama ed un periodo diversi, ed a conferire un’atmosfera particolare al dramma, ambientandolo negli anni ’50 – un’epoca di grandi cambiamenti a New York. Recita nel film un cast stellare che comprende anche Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Bobby Cannavale, Cherry Jones, Michael Kenneth Williams, Leslie Mann, Ethan Suplee, Dallas Roberts, Josh Pais, Robert Ray Wisdom, Fisher Stevens, al fianco di Alec Baldwin e Willem Dafoe.

Heyyo minna! It’s Ryuji Tatsuya with yet another anime rant! So lately I have come across a few anime series where the characters’ faces seem to be awfully similar to that of other anime characters in the past. When I did my research about that, I realized that there are quite a few characters like that. That’s why today, I decided to make a list of some of the characters who were caught under my supervision. So without any further delay, let’s get right into it!

Tendou (Haikyuu) and Hisoka (Hunter x Hunter)

I remember my reaction when I was watching the third season of Haikyuu. The moment Tendou made his appearance in the series I remembered yelling “HOLY SHIT! IT’S HISOKA!!” in the middle of the episode (Even though I haven’t seen HXH, I was kinda familiar with the character Hisoka). Well, the odd stares I got from my family is a different story, but it turns out that I wasn’t really wrong and many other people also noticed and pointed that out.

Haru (My Little Monster) and Houtarou (Hyouka)

Ok I admit that this is a no brainer, because it’s almost everywhere on the internet; but still, I think these two characters literally are brothers separated at birth (Stolen Old meme lel). Even though their behaviours are COMPLETELY different from each other, I guess it isn’t considered cheating if I include them here, ne?

Manabe (Kotoura san) and Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya)

These characters are the reason I decided to write this post (Even though the idea of doing so was in my mind for more than a month now). No matter how you look at it, these two are literally a xerox of each other (Except the fact that Manabe has a childish af portrayal with low budget character sketch while Kyon had a kinda better and more serious portrayal) Also, nevermind the change in attitude of the two characters.

Izumi (Parasyte the maxim) and Yuri (Yuri on ice)

First things first, I have not watched Yuri on Ice yet and I certainly don’t think I will be watching it any time sooner (Calm down LGBT community), but thanks to the immense hype it got in 2016, there was no way that I would have missed the uncanny similarity between these two characters. In my opinion, I would say Izumi is like the older brother who is juuuuuuuuuuuuuuuust a little smarter than his little brother, Yuri. Still, I will have to agree that the cooler side of Yuri was way better than that of Izumi.

Yu (Charlotte) and Takumi (Battery)

I just finished watching Battery and that’s why the great similarity between these two facial characters is vivid clear on my mind. All the while I watched Battery, I was calling Takumi ‘The Yu Otosaka of a poor budget anime’; I still don’t think it was wrong of me to do so. The thing that kinda irritated was the fact that even though Yu had a great character development by the end of the series, Takumi was still the same old arrogant freak who knew nothing except being all high and mighty (At least try to be a little bit positive like Yu, ya faulty Xerox character!).

Mio (K-On!) and Tamako (Tamako Market)

Close your eyes and imagine Mio Akiyama. Now slowly imagine her in a little younger version, maybe like in middle school. Now give her a twin tail and little bit cheerful personality; TADA! You have created Tamako! To be honest, even though Tamako is 99% similar to Mio, in case of character sketch, she is still way too far to reach her class. ALL HAIL GODDESS MIO!!

Akame (Akame ga Kill) and Shino (Seitokai Yakuindomo)

While Akame spilled blood by killing every enemy of the Night Raid, Shino, on the other hand, spread laughs by cracking outright sexual jokes every minute. I haven’t completed Akame ga kill (Because f**k bad endings, f**k action and f**k my life), I don’t think I would love her as much as I love Shino (For being a perverted comedian myself, I admire you a lot!). It’s just as the old saying goes, “Spread laughter, not hatred” (Now don’t ask me who said that………. Or if that is even a real thing).

Elze (Issekai wa smartphone no tomo ni) and Kyou (Clannad)

While the former series is just a big compilation of almost all the fantasy and magical anime clichés possible, Elze and her younger sister (Forgot her name XD) are maybe a rip off of the Clannad sisters. Elze and Kyou’s personality, affection towards their sister as well as the hairband’s position are really really similar to each other. I’m calling first dibs on Elze being a failed copy of Kyou.

Haruhara (FLCL) and Yano (Kimi ni Todoke)

In one of the videos of The Anime Man, I came across this character called Haruhara. While I have no idea how her personality might be like, I remember thinking to myself that maybe he did some kind of mistake, as instead of Haruhara, the name should be Yano (Later I found out that it wasn’t my mistake at all). If you guys know about this character then be sure to tell me about her, but for now, I guess I’ll be calling her Yano-chan v2.

And with that, this list comes to an end. Have you came across any of these characters? Did you also find them similar? Are there any more characters that cross your mind? Be sure to tell me in the comments below. Thanks for reading!

Some Anime Characters with Similar Faces Heyyo minna! It’s Ryuji Tatsuya with yet another anime rant! So lately I have come across a few anime series where the characters’ faces seem to be awfully similar to that of other anime characters in the past.

Got the cards organized.

For X-Wing Miniatures: Rebel and Resistance pilot cards are in the Naoe, Waltrud, and Nikka box.

Imperial and First Order pilot cards are in the Edytha and Gundual box.

Scum and Villainy pilot cards are in the Nikka and Aleksandra box.

Astromech, crew, Salvaged Astromech, and Elite Talent upgrade cards are in the Shimohara and Georgette box.

Huge ship upgrades (Hardpoint, team, and cargo), Advanced Technology, Systems, Modifications, and Title upgrade cards are in the Karibuchi sisters box.

Secondary weapons upgrade cards (bombs, cannons, missiles, torpedoes, and turrets) are in the Perrine, Mio, and Minna box.

Finally for Armada cards, I put squadron cards in the 502nd squadron box (may put objective cards for the game in their as well), and the upgrade cards for that game with the Lucchini and Shirley box. I couldn’t fit the ship cards from Armada because they’re tarot card size, but I still have a good place to store them.

spasepeepole026: Happy birthday, Perrine! ...

She grew on my a lot for sure. I like her a lot more than Mio too; Mio is too reckless, and can set a poor example for those she leads.

Funny how Mio is so reckless, since she apparently prides herself on having never lost a wingman... For all the calm she exudes, she’s awfully keen to whet her blade. I’d guess that’s the inner conflict of calm leader and ferocious warrior at work there. I’d like her more if she learned from her mistakes, but she doesn’t really, so... NEXT!

I think it’s especially nice to see Perrine’s growth throughout the franchise. She starts out with her jealousy overinflated, then at the end of season 1 she starts growing fond of Yoshika. In season 2 she is genuinely conflicted about the ways she can--and has--helped rebuild Gallia. 

The movie and the OVA just show her as a balanced person after all that. Someone who’s at peace, who can look at the past and learn from it to benefit the present and the future, but still has those sharp personality traits that distinctly make her Perrine. She’s also far better at showing her caring side to people. 

(Bonus schadenfreude: I feel like she and Minna are less overtly affectionate towards Mio after season 2, as if they’re getting over her in a sense. Of course, the OVA then introduces Heidemarie who, although I like her a lot, is yet another Squadron Leader in the way of Minna x Trude... Oh well.)

I think late-in-her-career Perrine would be an excellent role model for a lot of Witches. And so the cycle continues!
