#why is it so fuwa fuwa oh gosh

[iristial]

The movie trailer is out ahhhhh

First of all, everyone looks amazing - and I am totally going to make GIFs

Finally....*shakes fist* interaction that isn’t limited to our regular duos! Though the oyako shots 👌👌👌👌

I’m definitely curious as to how Jin went from suggesting lobotomy to helping Fuwa walk away from a battle(?), but I’ve also learned to appreciate what I get from this series, without thinking too much about the logistics

*carefully crops out Gai so that Horobi and Yua are the ones running down the road*

All these solo shots of Aruto - please tell me if he gets to be pals with everyone who isn’t Izu

In my heart, I’d still like a good old scene or two of the regular duos. Especially for Jin and Horobi....I get the feeling they’re going to get split up early in the movie, with Jin assisting Fuwa and Horobi with Gai and Yua

A metsuboujinrai group shot would be good too!

However, my big (rhetorical) question is why Yua and Fuwa are wearing ZAIASpecs, even though the creator was demoted to be the local repairman and both of them Do Not want to associate to him

Am I paying the price for having Jin as my favourite? Am I? First he gets killed on Christmas 2019, then he died in episode 43, and now he’s going to get crushed by a plane? *buries my face in my hands* I can’t take any more of this. No more deaths. What will Horobi think

The tattoos on the villains’ faces look a lot like the ones purchasers of GaiaMemories get in W

Yua on a motorcycle....enough said

It looks like Aruto refusing to let Izu 2.0 accompany him because the first Izu died + she’ll probably convince him otherwise...will the movie dive into the implications of making another Izu...

I’m up for the angst potential of it all, but I do hope Izu shedding a tear is the original Izu coming back (despite everyone in the cast saying she never will). Otherwise I’m going to keep poking at the fire until I finish my Izu 2.0 fic

Me, while writing an unpublished fic: It’s such a shame that Yua only wears that rebel outfit in the Reiwa movie. Why not make it part of the A.I.M.S. winter uniform The trailer: It’s not an exact copy, it’s pretty much what Fuwa was advertised to wear before we decided he should just wear suits. But she’s wearing long sleeves and - Me: OH MY GOSH

It’s such a small detail and yet I’m in love

Star Twinkle Precure Episode 48

The power of Imagination is really incredible.

First and foremost I wanna apologize for all the trash I dumped in the last episode BECAUSE THIS WAS AN AMAZING CLIMAX FOR THIS SEASON AND I LOVE EVERY SECOND OF IT.

Okay, I have a few small problems here and there, but there are so many more positive things to talk about that my problems become VERY small in comparison with all the good things this episode had.

This episode was an emotional bomb from beginning to end, even to me who isn't someone that cared a lot for most of the relationships established in this show, I was really touched by everything.

The first part of this episode felt very heavy and suffocating, Hikaru was doing those desperate faces when she saw Ophiucus survived and I was pretty much going through the same thing, I was legitimately frightened when the universe started to get swallowed by darkness, and Ophiucus imponent evil presence just helped in making that situation even more scary and dark. Ophiucus is one of the best final bosses in all of precure, hands down, look at the power this woman holds, just amazing. I also love that one of the points I didn't like in the last episode was touched in here which made me get a whole new admiration for what happened there. Because their feelings weren't united with Fuwa's, because they were hesitant at that moment, that the "ritual" failed and Ophiucus was able to come back and this is strong. If I could go back on time to last week I'd stop myself from having written those words about Hikaru's hesitance because that was obviously the right decision for Hikaru to make at that moment, and of course the show didn't let that just slip by, it had consequences so, that was perfect. Past Venus is a very dumb boy.

Following this high moment of despair, we have what was to me the best moment of this entire episode. In the middle of the darkness, Hikaru starts to shine like a lonely little star lost in the sky and she has an opportunity to let all her feelings get out, I kinda wish we had seen Hikaru trying to deal with all these emotions alone for a bit longer, I don't know maybe just one more minute of only Hikaru so that she could speak more and we could feel that sinking in even deeper, I'm sorry I like the angst in moments likes this.

Regardless of how much time we spent with Hikaru lost in the void, I really like how the episode made Lala and the girls find Hikaru and not it be the other way around because it kinda emulates what their presence changed in Hikaru's life. Hikaru has always been a lonely kid until Fuwa and the gang crashed into her life and she finally found friends and the joy of having human interactions that go beyond your family and, at least to my eyes, that was what they were trying to do here. Hikaru was alone and sad again, and then Lala came to her and said "we're here" and then in that place that was dark and empty we saw a light, we saw a place that was bright up and felt cozy, just like what their friendship did with Hikaru. It was absolutely gorgeous.

Of course, I couldn't mention this moment without highlighting one of the best moments of the season where the girls started singing the transformation song a capella. I watched this episode twice (one while it was airing, and one with subs) and in both times I had goosebumps during this part. I don't have the vocabulary to make justice to how beautiful and strong that was and all the emotions that it made me feel. This was the absolutely perfect moment to crown the first half of the episode.

The climax of the show came right after it in the best fighting scene of this season, and probably one of the best final fights we had in the entire history of this franchise. That fight was everything I could've asked for AND MORE. Up until tomorrow, I had no high opinions on the Twinkle Style, most of it because we only see it being used during the stock footage sequence for their finisher, but after seeing the girls fighting on it, GOSH HOW BEAUTIFUL THESE OUTFITS ARE! They are so big and sparkly! It's a real shame we didn't get to see it being used more often in this final arc, to hide such a gorgeous power-up behind a stock footage sequence is a crime.

I loved how dynamic this fight felt even though they were in space with no gravity acting on them, it was really something else. I know that for a yearly show they don't have the budget to spend in a lot of fights like this one, but I really wish we had seen more instances of the girls fighting on space, they were SO CREATIVE with it for this fight imagining all the fun fights we could've gotten made me sad a little 😅. Oh well, moving on. XD If I say that I really got that final speech they were giving while they were beating Ophiucus down I'd be lying, but it sounded cool so I don't really care that much. The moment where they called upon the souls? the imaginations? of everyone that was swallowed by the darkness was really good as well, though I wonder how a lot of those earthlings that didn't know about the precure existence were there landing their power too. But that's a minor thing, it doesn't take away from the moment a single bit, especially because Fuwa's spirit was there too to share her powers with the girls one last time so that was awesome, and very visually pleasing as well.

Now, one thing that I don't like is how Ophiucus was just able to walk away from that situation even though she basically destroyed the entire universe minutes before. Like, I'm okay with her still being alive, it wouldn't make sense for this team to destroy a life after everything we saw, but I think that for her to walk away with no punishment is kinda revolting. Maybe it's just me, I think it hits a bit to close to home seeing people in high positions doing horrible stuff and getting away with it, but I really didn't like that Ophiucus was able to hide on her own dark corner in the universe as she pleased.

But it's not like my discontent lasted long and left a bad impression on me, after all right after it we got another high point of the episode. I said last week I wouldn't like to see them bringing Fuwa back, but I really like how it happened here, they sacrificed their powers to be able to bring Fuwa back and even though Fuwa was revived she wasn't exactly the same, she had memories of the girls but she was still kinda clueless about everything and I think that was a good way to do this resurrection without nullifying the importance that Fuwa's sacrifice had.

But the thing I really liked was seeing their goodbye. I always wondered if they would go there and make Lala and Yuni go back to their planets after the final fight, I mean I was sure Yuni would go back after all that was the reason why she became a precure, but I wasn't sure about Lala and I'm glad they made Lala part her ways with the girls too. I know it's a sad moment and a lot of people didn't like that this happened, but I think it's important especially for Hikaru, I always wished that by the end Hikaru would be alone but not lonely anymore because she knows she has friends even if they're not together all the time and having the ending be like this may be a sign that this is a direction they'll take, at least for the first part of the epilogue episode next week. Also, it was a very beautiful moment, Yuni saying she would be okay because Eyewon would be there with her trying to find a way to revert the people of Rainbow Planet with her was very gay and absurdly cute, and seeing Lala lose her ability to speak Japanese as the power of the pendant faded was hard but it just made her goodbye with Hikaru even more touching because I could feel in my bones that she was trying her best to properly say "Hikaru, thank you". Y'all know I'm not the biggest fan of Hikaru and Lala together, but that moment was gold, I shed a tear there.

I'm kinda sad that wasn't the actual finale and we still have one more episode to go because this was the perfect ending we could've gotten and I'm afraid that what we get next week won't be as good and the final memory we'll have of Star Twinkle won't be this moment. HOWEVER, this series is written by the same guy that wrote Mahou Tsukai and we had a similar situation in that series and I really liked how they made the reunion happen there so we can get something just as cool and as emotional here so there's still hope.

I feel like this is all for now. What are your thoughts on this episode? Let me know in the comments. I'll see you all the next time. bye-bye~ o/

I was very happy and now I’m - oh gosh - terminated

Here’s words of praise below the cut

Before I dive into this - thank you??? For putting up with all the Jin/Yua I talk about on Twitter and on here and for being supportive overall?? Heaps of hearts to you <3 <3 <3

Since this is situated in canon I loved how Yua’s strong connection to Fuwa resonates here (I’m all for that) and Jin’s like “I want to have that friendship too” so he decides to protect her, wrap a blanket around her, even say I won’t hurt him anymore because it’d thwart his chance of being her friend -

This summarizes how Jin’s trying hard to be immune to friendship with humans when he’s just too soft-hearted for his own good. This is why Horobi does all the - villain stuff (he would totally try to get rid of Yua after she retrieves Naki from Fuwa at this point in the story)

Jin. walking Yua home. *volcano-of-feels-exploding.gif*

I say this with a lot of love when I say zarahjoyce you hit me right in the heart there how dare you

notes: for @iris-14cheonsa, who’s so happy today :D Also for @lucybeetle who gave me the perfect idea for ‘Wind’ just when I was stuck!

tagged yua x jin for those who want to have this tag blocked though it’s not really shippy, more like 2 characters interacting a bit more than canon.

Keep reading

can you please draw a picture of Kotoko calling Jatarou into have a tea party and Nagisa and Daimon wanting to see what they are doing and finding them playing dress up! thank you !!!

IT… unintentionally became fuwa fuwa…

kimetsu no yaiba ep.26 (final)

I haven’t done these in a million years but for the sake of the finale (and gosh, this was a good anime...)

Also here’s a reminder that the character I stan the most is, generally speaking, an idiot of the highest order with a side of roast pork

The entire Lower Moon meeting was a bona fide ensemble of “scary as inferno”

I’m guessing the sliding door and staircase setting is done in CGI, but either way that is one impressive infrastructure

Why does Muzan’s female form...have to match things I like in a female character’s design...the wavy loose strands...the bun...curse you...I hate this...

When blood baths are to the point of hearing the blood drip like water overflowing in a basin...

“You keep running away from Hashiras” + “I would put down my life for you” - gets killed “I just need more of your blood” + “you were trying to tell me what to do” - gets killed “Tries to run away because they’re scared” gets killed I get that the entire point of this is to be a foil to the Hashira meeting where they had the nicest person to ever exist with a short life span standing as their leader, but Muzan...this guy is the worst employer ever

That Lower Demon Who Survived Muzan’s Purge is even creepier animated

The blush on his face...at seeing the other Lower Demon Moons get murdered...rejoicing at the thought of dying at Muzan’s hand...and Muzan’s impressed with this (well, no surprise because he’s a monster in soul but yikes)...I think there’s a word for this kind of...perverted lust for blood...

Oh wait, it’s reminding me of something from an ecchi anime...okay, that explains a lot

I don’t even want to take a screenshot of this dude O_O

I actually got goosebumps three times in a row. Thanks for that...

GENYA - G E N Y A - YOU’RE HERE - HERE - I’VE SEEN YOU IN THE OP 25 TIMES BUT YOU’RE HERE NOW

Whoa, he is huge

With the colouring and all, he really does look like the kind of guy you’d catch feasting on demons (...even though this makes sense in context, it sounds really weird)

Kanao...when she spoke...my heart...my heart - AGH

She could perfectly defend herself and others with her mad skills in fighting but I would protect her

I can’t believe Kanao is a year older than Tanjiro...is every case of Tanjiro making friends with his peers a case of “he acts like the epitome of a great older brother but everyone is older than him”. I know a year isn’t much but man, I thought she was like 13~14...

I kind of want to know what would’ve happened if the scenario went like this:

Tanjiro: Heads for deciding whether or not you get to decide for yourself, Kanao! *the coin lands* Tanjiro: Okay, now let’s see - *it’s tails* Tanjiro: :D....

Tanjiro: If it landed on tails, then I would’ve flipped it over and over until I got heads Me: Oh wait, he answered my own question

Okay, I ship Tanjiro/Kanao now *slams my 500 cm by 500 cm seal of approval* I will sink with you

UNMASKED INOSUKEEEEEEEE

AND HIM GOING FUWA FUWA

I appreciate this dose of Giyuu and Tanjiro friendship, thank you *bows down to the dirty floor*

When Giyuu talked about Tanjiro killing demons as a form of gratitude “because they’re demon slayers”, this conversation took place in my mind

Giyuu: It’s our duty to kill demons as demon slayers Shinobu: No *bleep*, Sherlock Giyuu: :|

Three reactions to what a train is

The Belly of the Iron Beast

Might as well be another coffee stain

Ah, yes, the reasonable one speaks - why, Tanjiro. I get that you lived on a mountain for all your life, and so did Inosuke, but why. Why. Why is there a huge gap between you two. Maybe it’s the caretakers

And for the record I spluttered, it’s been a while since I read this chapter

I feel like the small tibit that the Demon Slayers aren’t recognized by the government is a way of saying that demons and swords and Muzan’s situation are now fairytales and the world continues moving forward. As good as it is to have the danger of a fantasy world out of the picture + modernization brings better opportunities in aspects of life, it’s also sad to think about for some reason...like the world is losing its magical qualities and making way for whatever it is we live in now

Actually, would the modernization of Japan count towards an extinction of demons...I know that Muzan is the source of human turned demons, but are there any pure demons out there...kind of like how Inuyasha had demons practically non-existent by the modern era...

THE DEVELOPMENT - it’s expected of Tanjiro to help Zenitsu climb aboard the train, but it’s another to see Inosuke being the first to grab his comrade...they’ve come a long way from beating each other until blood poured out *wipes a tear* my boys...

Did they really have to play the opening song as soon as Tanjiro said “me and Nezuko will never be apart again” - the guitar - the piano - that made me more emotional than usual! And I’m always emotional! WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT SEEM AS THOUGH KNY WON’T GET A SECOND SEASON

Now I understand why no OP was done - because they included the full version and amplified the feels

Already knew about the upcoming movie thanks to someone here but IT’S GOING TO BE A MOVIE

I’d prefer an adaption that’s done as part of a new season (like I did with Akatsuki no Yona and its three OVAs), but a movie is an opportunity for even higher quality animation and I WILL DEFINITELY WATCH IT
