I don't have much faith in Blizzard to stick around :/
Three weeks only.
Maybe I'll install the game again tonight
I've seen I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Kimisui (the short title, because it's so long lol) kind of feels like getting stabbed in the chest then it's over. Like what @[email protected] said, Look Back wasn't top tier emotional, at least in the same sense as Kimisui.
Kimisui / Look Back spoilers
Kimisui banks on the audience's anticipation on when Yamauchi dies because it's pre-established that she does die (movie opens with her funeral). The twist takes a different form. There's also the reveal of the main character's name. After Yamauchi dies and the MC goes through a cathartic moment, life goes on for him.
In Look Back, I kept thinking to myself "oh it's not over yet?" There are several moments after the "twist" when I thought the movie was going to end already but it kept going (for good reasons) so the emotion you feel is a bit different. Perhaps a bit dull. Maybe you can say Look Back doesn't have a "climax" in the same way Kimisui does.
Also, Kimisui is grounded completely on reality while Look Back has a segment where two timelines converge. So maybe the realism in Kimisui makes it more emotional.
My friend's been bugging me to read the manga years ago so now I can say that I "read" it. It was kind of depressing to watch though.
I'm guessing Fujino and Kyoumoto are two parts of the author (Fujimoto) and it's essentially his response to how a mangaka keeps on going. The manga was released during the Chainsawman hiatus and I'm guessing there are other references to his other past works.
Despite that, I'm still figuring out what Kyoumoto means to him. It's a silly thing to think about but assuming he's both Fujino and Kyoumoto, and he uses Fujino to represent the mangaka we know, then "who" is Kyoumoto?
Also this shot reminds me of Misato walking in the corridor:
And if anyone hasn't, definitely read Fujimoto's other one shot "Goodbye Eri".
A bit late but happy birthday /c/anime! Honestly, I owe @[email protected] a lot for revitilizing this community and for making it into what it is today. They've been our biggest financial contributor and have also made me aware of some significant issues with the instance in the past. Thank you for your hard work! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ
I never thought of Spirited Away that way but now that you mention it, it does resemble isekai.
Lame. :/ Guess I'm changing my review then.
Kill la Kill
Archon Quest Spoilers
Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.
His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.
I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.
I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.
Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.
The only screenshot I was able to take:
I made a comment in the gacha pull thread earlier this month with Tighnari. I was short around ~30 pulls for another 5-star guarantee. I spent the last few days playing through the rest of the Fontaine Archon Quest. With the extra primos and fates, I managed to get Furina today!
KQM also just posted their Furina guide so I guess I'll be spending the next few weeks building her.

I see. Yeah, it would be confusing for everyone who didn't see. Sorry.
