la squadra: okay but we weren't being paid minimum wage

FLOO!! have you seen the most recent JJK episode? that shit was beautiful. I don't want to gush in your inbox but Hironori Tanaka (director, storyboarder and key-animator) really proved that he's a master of his craft. Just the sheer violence... he always makes it feel so visceral and raw with the fluid movement and detailed artwork. The domain expansion (and Mahito in general) was just terrifying. And those are just the technical aspects, don't even get me started on the storytelling.

omg I'm sorry for the super belated reply. ep13, right? YES it was breathtaking! I love love the surrealist imagery of Mahito's domain. The sequence in question is out of this world (I just had to look up the scene to stare at it some more). I wasn't expecting a hand motif for Mahito but it fits. Nanami being in the palm of his hands (figuratively and literally!) like a Ken doll (bcuz this is child's play for Mahito). In the first few seconds, two hands silently reach out in a tender embrace—almost sweet—suddenly twist into something sinister. Reminds me of Junpei "reaching out" to Mahito for guidance, and we all know how that ended. ;_;

never ask an older sibling for help when you get stuck in a video game because what they'll do is advise you to use a wingull in the electric type gym

The Call-Leader, Elwood, Indiana, May 21, 1915

imagine having this on your bedroom shelf and trying to explain to the girl you brought home that it's in fact not a naked man but anime merchandise of the supernatural manifestation of an ability to chase someone down at 60km an hour and absorb their nutrients like a leech (and is a homage to the band deep purple). not a naked man.

I really don't know what I was expecting from JJK other than typical battle shounen stuff but it was NOT a surprisingly earnest take on the age-old question "What would you do if you can't save everyone?"

other observations of things I liked right off the bat: extroverted protagonist (with a hearty blend of nerd and jock qualities), strong-willed girls, no love interest?, responsible adults, body sharing with a self-serving antagonistic being (who is predictably my favorite character), Togashi-esque inspired power system, and an appropriate balance between light humor and dark themes.

I feel like a kid with a shiny new toy

You made that post about Ogata and Mogami and I just realised that there's a "projects onto kids" character in JJK. He's also murderous! But sadly he won't be showing up this season. Funnily enough his character design also low-key looks like Mogami's. I have a feeling you would like him. Also glad you seem to be enjoying the anime, MAPPA has been doing such a great job.

OH?? A BAD GUY (presumably?) WITH PROJECTING BEHAVIOR? TWINNING WITH MOGAMI? it's cute you knew this would please me tremendously (it does) I look forward to meeting whoever this evildoer is

And agreed, MAPPA is killing it! JJK Friday is currently helping me get through the long weeks. Thankfully it's 2 cour. I'm happy to hear manga readers such as yourself are enjoying the adaptation, too, and are welcoming of new fans. <3

I don’t know what’s happening to me…

Listen, them becoming infected instead of already being alien from the start is waaaaaay creepier and cooler I think

battery power at 3% let's see if I can listen to Giorgio by Moroder in full before this thing shuts off
