F

FMA crossover,,,,,,

what

WHATTTTTT

FINE GRANBLUE I'LL COME BACK. WHAT THE FUCK??? WHAT THE FUCK.

Out of curiosity, what is it that's been turning you off Granblue exactly?

Or was it more a death by a thousand cuts situation?

it's really been a death by a thousand cuts mostly ahah.

I can't stand the usual hypersexualization they're going with for those past two years and i think i reached my limits. I get the feeling they're leaning more and more into fanservice (not just on the sexual sense, also just on the characterization front) and it gets on my nerves.

In general i also agree with Salt's own post about why he got tired with granblue as well, the new msq sits badly with me and the fact the new event picks up on that immediately gets on my nerves.

tbh this past year i've felt like i always had something to complain about when i was getting into an event and i'm tired of that, and it can't be enjoyable to have someone always bitch about stuff on the corner all the time.

and well, the fact my attention is shifted on something else completely doesn't help, i don't really want to pause what i'm doing for something that has been rather underwhelming to me

soyeah i think i can't be fair toward the game so i best not force it either yaknow?

Nobody does all the different flavors of yuri like Granblue

GENUINELYYY

do you want knightly yuri with a bit of yandere and past life's reincarnated soulmates, with pure, unlimited devotion to one another? (Vira/Katalina)

do you want school friends to "actually we realized we were fully comphet" to "you're my everything and i'll cheer for you through anything and challenge the narrative itself for you"? (Meg/Mari)

do you want a completely fucked up story of childhood friends to enemies to lovers and realizing they're in love with each others and sloppily making out with each other while still covered in each other's blood? (Cupitan/Tristette)

and that's for the undeniably canon ones (Vira has always been opened about her romantic feelings for Katalina and Katalina has been returning them in recent content and said she can't live without her, Meg and Mari constantly tell each other they love each other and are engaged, and Cupitan and Tris kissed sloppily after the most fucked up love declaration ever)

but even if we count only the "it's hinted very strongly but nothing was too explicit yet"

school friends became everything to each other? (Anne/Grea)

"I have never seen anything more beautiful in the skies than Europa" and "bringing Gabriel joy is the only thing that matters to me"? (Europa/Gabriel)

"I would like to spend my whole life with you, if you allow it" "of course i do" who also take care of three children together? (Societte/Yuel)

"If you are a monster then i'll become a monster too so i can always stay by your side and you'll never be alone" and "i don't care if i'm a monster to everyone's eyes but yours"? (Tweyen/Silva)

whatever the HELL is going on in that Enyo/Athena art?

and that's for what i can think of. We have so many more. But those stick out.

We're well fed.

"We all know about the patisserie collab where Belial gleefully participated into being the waiter boy, while poisoning some of the food."

Wait wait, that's news to me! Was there a translation of it somewhere? I just looked and found nothing... :((

oh this is where being a veteran Belial PR person comes to help me

I'm talking about this collab! it came with a CD drama

strangely i can't find any other mentions of that online or on my blog oops but i know it exists and i saw posts about it

that said one of the necklace comes with a description that pretty much supports it:

you'll notice also that said necklace is the same shape as the spoon from Belial's arc, that he's dipping into your coffee

I know there was a whole thing in the drama CD about it though but damn i really cant find it again

so well. now you know!

Listen

Lamorak is special

He's my special little whore

i read his wday lines, he's doing it on purpose. He expressingly says that he's trying to fluster you by feeding it to you. Danchou then says that Percival and Aglovale have done the same before and he's shocked because he's sure his brothers don't understand the meaning behind it and they don't even know it's supposed to make your heart flutter.

He's a whore. he's such a whore. I'm so mad at him who allowed him.

I think the question that interests most of the hivemind at this point is, does Junichi Suwabe voice anyone in HxH?

Junichi Suwabe does Not voice anyone in hxh, so i guess it means i can't convince Shades to watch it :/ shame. But watch as Siete will be in that event. I need someone to match Gon's freaks and Siete would be great for that. It'd force him to look into himself reaaaaally hard.

In term of cast crossing over:

-Megumi Han: Gon // Jeanne D'Arc -Mariya Ise: Killua // Shalem -Miyuki Sawashiro: Kurapika // Katalina -Keiji Fujiwara: Leorio // Eugen, before the seiyuu died at least :( -Daisuke Namikawa: That Clown // Sarunan

^ those will be the most likely characters to appear in the collab for hxh

other secondary characters who have gbf roles: -Mamoru Miyano: Chrollo // No One But It's Fucking Mamoru Miyano -Koki Uchiyama: Meruem // Skull -Romi Park: Pakunoda // Black Knight -Wataru Hatano: i don't even want to talk about it // Randall -Ryota Oosaka: Kanzai // Percival

and that's for the seiyuu i can recognize at a glance in the behind the voice actor page. so yay!
