I haven't been able to let go of Reina Ueda's performances as Reze and Gigi even though it's almost been a year and half a year respectively. They're such intense characters.
But please, just let them be happy and enjoy their life. Have a shopping date!
Thank you Ling (https://x.com/ChaaaaanHikari) for this wonderful commission combining The Witch From Mercury and the Revue Starlight movie.
There's something about the way Nana pushes away Junna in the Revue of Hunting and Miorine pushes away Suletta in episode 17 that made me want to see this crossover come to life.
In both situations, there is one person (Nana and Miorine) trying to protect the other person (Junna and Suletta) through dubious means. On the Revue Starlight side, Nana sees Junna as someone no longer dazzling and tries to make Junna quit the stage. For the Witch From Mercury, Miorine is tries to rescue Suletta from Prospera's grasp by stripping Suletta of her duel and Holder status.
It is painful to see Junna and Suletta in these moments. But it is with these trials that they grow and learn how to move forward.
One of the criticisms Nana throws at Junna is "All you do is parrot borrowed lines". And that's kind of valid. Throughout the series and even the movie, Junna relies of quotes from others to guide her journey. During this very revue, she quotes Goethe, Nietzsche, and Hesse to start. However, it's not only Junna that this applies to. From episode 1, Suletta follows her mother Prospera's mantra "If you move forward, you gain two", and it gives Suletta the strength to move forward. That is, until the end of episode 17.
But, dearest, Nana, by the time you stay this line, it's already the last third of the revue. The Junna you knew is not the Junna standing against you now. Her pen is stronger than your sword, and she is only just starting to write her next stage. Her roar says everything. "Student Council President of the 99th Class, Hoshimi Junna. Try and kill me, Daiba Nana!"
For Suletta, she helps in the aftermath of the school attack in episode 21 and also learns that Ericht was the reason why she has been able to pilot Ariel without pain. With this knowledge and determination behind her, she rewrites her motto into "Even if I don' gain anything, I have to do what I can."
By shedding those words and finding their own, they find the determination to move forward and make their own decisions. They are beautiful. They are dazzling. They are the lead stars.
But this is not yet that moment. No, this scene is the fall that shows them at their lowest, the moment where if they give up their dreams, it would be understandable. Why? Because I'm a sucker for the painful moments.
I guess what I'm trying to say is I love theses two anime a normal amount. Thank you again to Ling for bringing this to life.
okay, everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, everyone who presses the blue button dies if the blue button count is below 50%, and everyone survives if the majority press the blue button
A third button has been added. everyone who presses the red button survives regardless, but if a majority press the red button, everyone else dies. If a majority of people press the blue button, everyone survives—except for anyone who presses the green button. Everyone who presses the green button gets a crisp 1 dollar bill
I don't want people who voted green to die, but I had to choose blue again, since we're not told what happens if majority votes green. The first one said that everyone survives if the majority votes blue, but the second poll doesn't say the same thing about green. I'm forced to assume that this question is being asked by a evil trickster deity that is maliciously hiding the information of what happens if the majority votes green.
