OK BUT HEAR ME OUT. What if it was something IK did while in Nightbringer but IK left before she could finish recording the rest of the series so the only voice lines they have of her are a ton of one-off lines and the entirety of episode one. They knew she would be popular but they just didn't have enough voice clips of her to work so they killed her off very early and for the rest of the anime she is brought up again and again in memories or sort of "what would IK do in this situation" and a voice clip would play and Levi would get a heart attack for that scene and just. Trope of "the character who dies but never truly died because no one forgets her"

OH THAT'S SO CLEVER!! thought: the director probably knew in advance that ik would be leaving before she could voice everything, so they brought her in for one last recording session so that they'd at least be able to wrap things up, and the voice director asks her to just give them the most heart-wrenching and/or blood-curdling scream possible

ik thinks for a moment and then goes "alright bet", unaware of the lasting psychological effects this will have on levi (and later mammon and satan, who end up watching the anime out of curiosity) in the future

if this takes place in the grace period between the exchange year ending and nb starting, ik must be so confused. like, that's her?? and that's her voice?? but she has never heard of this show in her life???? it's so bewildering that she forgets to be kind of creeped out by it

then she ends up in the past and gets approached for the voice-acting job and is like "oh so that's what that was about.."

Lucio wouldn't do dirty like this

Shao wouldn't do dirty like this

Lucifer wouldn't do dirty like this

Lucilius... okay he might

But none of the others would!!

(This reminds me why I'm generally a fan of characters, not actors themselves.)

Lucilius double timing Belial and Beelzebub while his one true love is Lucifer: yeah hell yeah i might.

but yeah DKFJDLFMK generally it's better to just separate the characters from the actors playing them, especially in case like this where the characters are still, mostly, the work of the writers. You could mute their lines and the story itself would still be very strong.

It's deeply frustrating because Sakurai himself had a lot of really good work (he really played a lot of my fav chara, not just in gbf, so that's upsetting), but it's time like that you gotta just remember that while VA do a huge work, they're not the only thing that makes a character and you can't tie a chara to their VA that hard.

it's still quite hard to swallow but we gotta.

But yeah. man. Gotta remember what charas we love a lot in those trying time.

Are you secretly lunarcry? I was scrolling through gbf tag and there was someone watching the a3 anime and mentioning that they have to read the gbf event going on, and I thought "Oh hello Icha" but then I scrolled up and got whiplash, username was lunarcry

HELPPP??????? THIS IS SO FUNNY HELP

I am not lunarcry, sorry to disappoint, my tumblr/twitter presence is only under my nickname icha, i don't have a secret tumblr

(that said that's also something someone with a secret tumblr they want to keep secret would say)

No, the actual logic, is, gbf 🤝 a3, good visual novel centric mobage focusing a lot on character development and also sharing half of their VAs with one another. Also Lyria 🤝 Sakuya, angel kids you will want to adopt, face of the game, who are ways too similar in many ways.

No but legit when the English server of a3 was still live there was a survey of what other games we were playing at the same time and GBF was one of the first choice. I remember going omg then.

i do think some of the target audience can overlap but, that's probably because I know i'm the target audience of both game so for me it's OBVIOUS both are compelling to the same people. of course.

But it is funny, considering. I mean. Gbf is having a new event, meanwhile for a3 well, there's still new events on the JPN server and everything but there's a rerun event currently, latest event ended recently so, no reason to suddenly care about a3.

Except the fact, of course, that a3 RULES and the moment you get emotionally involved if you are reminded of it in one way or another you can get to sob curled on the floor and suffer and remember you're here forever!

I've checked the blog in question and it's someone who's feeling emotional about Sakuya so, like, mood, a3 fandom share one braincell and it's just the same thing which is:

YOU WILL CARE HIM.

but yeah no, even despite the exact same comment of "i didn't catch up with the main story since a3en closed because i'm too sad" (me too buddy) we're not the same person.

Somehow, just, wild a3 braincell moment connection i'm wheezeling

Forgive me but I immediately thought of how the comic could work with GBF and...

Danchou and (idk) Reader-kun/RK (Also sorry if I see it on your blog I immediately wonder about GBF)

"In order to date me, you have to defeat my primal exes."

"You mean crazy exes?"

"... primal... exes..."

First boss is Azazel (or Fediel, the shadow looks similar)

Second boss is Colossus

Third boss is Tiamat (or Sandalphon since he seems popular and is kinda bird-like)

Also Danchou is totally Ren with the age thing

9th boss is Yurius, purely because "Oh he looks normal- oh shit" the tentacles come out.

Just a funny AU, the exes aren't jealous just protective of their captain friend

(about this post)

oh my GOD this is GENIUS thank you for sharing

my primal exes this is so much. All of them fits so much (my bet on Sandalphon on the third boss).

Danchou def has been 15 for ten years so yeah it works

and for Yurius this is genius, since on top of that it's like the "normal looking one" is an extension of the tentacles monsters, it fits so perfectly.

And yeah, not jealous, just protective and trying to make sure the new guy is worth it. Like "if you can't defeat us how can you expect to defeat whatever bullshit life is going to throw at our precious Danchou next".

This fits so much please helppp

thank you for sharing <33

Reading your tags on the mephisto differences is fun because it's like your pointing at a picture of someone else's car son and comparing your cat son to him. Every compliment you give to your cat son you hold him up and wiggle him. Every difference between them you dramatically point to the picture of that other cat son.

this is exactly the way i see it and you are absolutely correct. a more cinematic interpretation, though: i'm standing on a soapbox holding mephisto high in the air and shouting about how much funnier than mephistopheles he is— no, scratch that, the soapbox IS mephistopheles. i'm using mephistopheles as a stool as i lift mephisto and yell to WORLD about how superior he is and shakin him about like a little maraca

Jack and Adam sound adorable. Two little scamps on their merry way. Beel is always a darling and I'm glad IK and Satan had a talk-to-talk. A chapter worth the wait.

jack and adam are my dumb sunshine boys and i'm glad you appreciate them too!!
