This is definitely my favourite scene in TRC anime ever!! Everything from the drawing, artstyle, voice, the animation, the music, etc. just so perfect and beautiful. The animation team and the director understand how this moment is peak and important to the story overall, they’ve tried their best.
My boy Tsu-kun was drawn so pretty here too my heart!! 😭💖
The soundtrack definitely the best thing in this scene too. I love how it builds up tension from the beginning, the haunting voice, and when Tsu woke up and the singers just went all out, the melody sounds like from this moment there will be tragedy. Yuki Kajiura is just so talented, not only the song fits so well with what’s happening, with the film’s atmosphere overall, but also perfectly with Tsu’s characterization and story: you can feel the sadness, tragedy, sacrifice, loneliness, elegant and most importantly his determination through the sing voices and melody.
i'd like to thank the haitani brothers for simultaneously giving us so much yet so little throughout this entire manga series. they truly were that iconic from start to finish
We could remove them from the story and pretty much nothing would change, they were just here to look pretty and get beat up so other character's could have their moments and we salute them for that.
Quincy? In MY dead people show? It's more likely than you think!
I was rewatching an episode of Six Feet Under, one of my top-fave shows in this world, and one of the characters said, "I talked to the Quincy down at the morgue" and I was like, wait.
tf is a Quincy
Courtesy of Google, I learned it was a pop culture reference to the medical examiner down at the morgue, after the 70s/80s show, Quincy, M.E.
Does everyone else just know about this show naturally? Why did no one tell me?? Era/vibe-wise this aligns with a lot of Kubo's reference points (also lol that the Japanese air title was Doctor Detective Quincy, amazing), and blah blah Isshin's proto-canon career as mortician, a profession that would closely with MEs even without the shinigami thing; I feel like Kubo was definitely aware.
But setting that aside, the idea that I'm most interested in came while I was thinking about the fact that the SFU the character who said the line would have grown up while Quincy, M.E. was airing, and that that leads into why M.E.->Quincy a reference he'd easily make. (Also he's a restorative artist for a funeral home, but--) He's a little older than Ichigo et al, but I feel like Isshin definitely watched this show. And I just feel like, in-universe, this show played like a Bond Movie Marathon in the Kurosaki house. Like, pump the bass on that Asahi TV rerun. (Also, Quincy M.E.'s assistant is Japanese Canadian!) Ryuuken did not of his own volition see this show, but of course was aware of it. I just love the idea that the creation of "Quincy" as a pop culture term, as a reference to the interstices of death/doctors--regardless of whether it originated with THE Quincy or if they were only weathering serendipities of television--was circulating in the world like that, stage whispering about the ongoing existence of Quincy.
Sal fisher, with yugi moto and phoenix wright next to him: wait so chifuyu stole ryusei's boyfriend?
Chifuyu, with fred jones, Lucifer, and drolta next to him: I don't know how many times I have to say this, they were not fucking together
Eren Yeager, coming out of a crowd with Stella, Jake long, and lady rainicorn: yea not only that but he was fucking him the entire time ryusei was talking about getting back together with him!
The forget you forget me not comic was great! If it’s not too much could you continue?
I'm--thank you for liking it, anon. The validation is really appreciated TT
Tbh, I actually don't understand Leo's character all that well? Surface level, I've got, but any sort of deeper personality that guy has is a mystery to me. Ig this is also kind of a cry for help? I'm happy to finish it if someone is willing to comb out the details with me.
Sorry, anon! I'm just a little nervous that I'll like. fundamentally misunderstand the character and look like a goddamn fool ^^'
