i often try to ignore very hard on what happens to her in other cygames media

Thinking about how special the connection between Jeanne and Michael in Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis actually was.

Angels in Genesis don't care for humans for the most part but Michael does and wants to cooperate with them.

He tells fellow angels that he tasked some valiant humans with finding the plot key of Genesis.

But the reaction he gets is "hmph, so your beloved maiden then?"

Which is such a small line that could be misstranslated for all i know, and yet its so full of meaning. Its his beloved maiden, his champion he keeps an eye on and whom he is proud of. So proud of this one single person and their connection some angels might even slightly mock it(?) (At least Raphael)

[ID: screenshot from Shingeki no Bahamut Genesis, second or third episode, depicting Raphael telling Michael "Hmph. So it was your beloved maiden, then?"]

That connection they had in the anime was not only Important to Jeanne who gained power and acknowledgment of the faith she devoted herself to but also to Michael. And its so meaningful and aaaa— i don't know what else to say

ISN'T THAT ALL FROM SHINGEKI NO BAHAMUT

Cygames has a lot of games (including snb and gbf or even umamusume) and they cross over a lot, sharing a lot of characters even though the lore may change

Lucifer, Azazel, Albert, Yurius, Vania, Jeanne d'Arc, and Grimnir for example come from SNB to start with, but have been in almost every Cygames titles since (including stuff like Dragelia Lost)

Most of the time, the characters are fully reinterpreted with a new lore to go with the story of the game, other time when it's actual cross over event the character from the game itself cross over (pretty sure Percival is gbf!Percival crossing over for instance)

AT LEAST I THINK YOU SENT SNB STUFF?

tho the first picture look from the anime

where did you even get all of this :sob:

and no worries about the shook, it's so usual for me i forgot it might be weird to people omg

i like the idea of amira & jeanne being sisters

Shingeki no Bahamut: GENESIS is about a cool ginger afro bounty hunter who, due contract, is forced to show a demon girl her way home. Except actually he got no clue where it is bc he lied to her.

The story includes: High Fantasy, great designs, demons and angels in makeup, artstyle including colored lips for everyone, a huge dragon, my fave depiction of anime Jeanne d'Arc ever, former best friend chasing the bountyhunter to kill him which could be summed with lot of screaming the Mc's name FAVAROOOOOOO. Anime is bit goofily written but overall got serious tone + bits of comedy. And it treats the characters with overall respect. ALSO THE OPENING SLAYS

I RECOMMEND

Coming back here only to say this OP is still such a banger. SOB

[hiddencarpet]

(my main blog is still shadowbanned but i have some Thoughts.tm and i really want to share them with the world, so i'm sending them here. ok? This rant is going to be spoiler Free)

It's sad how Virgin Soul anime ruined any possibility of future Shingeki no Bahamut anime with the usage of the former anime Genesis cast.

Genesis had it's premise, sometimes bit goofy, sometimes serious. Original anime story with High Fantasy fun. And overall it shown respect to the characters. Azazel was a pretty scary villain, Cerberus came to have a little fun. Lucifer was there for a second but looked stunning while doing so. Genesis Mcs were cool, they were bit goofy sometimes but the story treated them with love and i loved them in turn aswell. Jeanne d'Arc was also my most fave Jeanne d'Arc anime portrayal ever. Other villains and background characters? Everyone is my big fave.

However the spin-off series Virgin Soul? Ridiculed literally everyone who ever shown up before. Left almost no stones unturned

Azazel? He's a pure punching bag now.

Cerberus? Is a brothel sex worker now for some reason!?

Lucifer? While in Genesis they shown him as cautious but reluctant to act (probably bc animating him would cost way too much Lol), now he's showing up more but he simply lazes around reading books when His People are in Need. With the most horrendous example showing in this gif:

Which i could comment a lot on, but i'm just going to say: Original Lucifer would Never. Original ShinBaha Lucifer would literally drop anything to help his people fight, even though he's tired and wants only to rest now. And as i'm reading his whole story in the game Right Now it just, Breaks me.

Jeanne d'Arc? I-i don't want to talk about it right now.😶

Some of beloved characters from the former show were also pointlessly killed off without reason in Virgin Soul and there is nothing giving them back.

But that's mostly former villain/background characters.

In Genesis The Main character is a ginger afro guy, Favaro Leone. Something so rare yet so beautiful when it comes to MCs, and the show treated him with respect. Literally one of the greatest characters for me. The show in the first episode made a point that women find him handsome (Which is very important for my further rant). He was my Puss in Boots cool guy. (i love Puss in Boots ok)

So what happened in Virgin Soul? He's a supporting role, but Now whoever wrote the new show mocked him for his looks a lot. First the show made his afro less curly which felt weird, but that's not it yet.

They had a girl in the show whose whole thing was finding men attractive, and she only found him attractive once his hair was all damp and straightened with water. 🙃

Guess what they also did to him, guess what.

They shaved him on multiple occassions as a joke. Joke on his hairstyle. Cause you know, he has afro.🙃🙃🙃

And it's been years but i'm still so mad, and my pain only grows as i'm reading Lucifer's event stories from the original game. What in the world.

Anyways this is my rant: My fave characters in the world will likely never show up again in any anime continuation because of how Virgin Soul ruined them, their arcs, their personalities and everything else. (i'm not mentioning the fact that the game is finished and there likely won't be anything anymore anyways, but if not for Virgin Soul and it's writers i'm sure there could've been something more, or at least we'd have a less dead fandom now (for many reasons. the show had Problems and fandom was at war))
