Girls when they rewatch Soukyuu no Fafner for the 48th time and they still notice new things

#the goddamn coffee scene in ep2 #the way kazuki Meaningfully stares at soushi #the way fumuhiko looks at kazuki at thinks ‘welp I fucked up i raised my son too well now he’s too kind and he wants to save everyone’#the fafner rewatch #(more like re re re re re rewatch)

what she says: I hate Fafner

what she means: it’s driving me insane that I can STILL notice new things about this anime no matter how many times I watch it. Soushi dropped his cup of coffee in ep2: did he do that because he was frustrated or because he was still feeling Kazuki’s pain of losing his (Fafner) arm? Speaking of Kazuki, when I noticed how his lack of self-worth permeates almost all his interactions with the other characters, I could not stop fixating on it. When Soushi asks him “How do you feel after riding a Fafner?” and Kazuki answers “Nothing much”(even though footages of him screaming in agony play in the background), it’s so fucking telling. Even in Kazuki’s conversation with Fumihiko (which is funny), he still puts his dad’s needs over his own safety (”There”s no way I wouldn’t come back! I mean, you can’t even cook without me”). It would be easy for new watchers to interpret this as “arrogance”, but then you reach ep15 and you’re confronted with the reality that, yes, this guy’s mental health is in shambles. Also I still have no idea what the fuck Kenji and Kazuki’s deal is in ep1, and the only explanation that makes sense is “oooh the Rituals are intricate....I know they are....”

#or maybe kenji just asked kazuki to make a man out of him and kazuki (known nihilist) said 'ok'#the fafner rewatch #technically its the re-re-re-re-rewatch but whatever

Don’t mind me, just rewatching the best Fafner episode from the best Fafner season:
