tender is the flesh that gnaws at the surface; bruised and aching at
the faintest touch; woven with little vessels which rupture and tear,
as blood pools in layers of cushion – how nauseatingly alive it feels.

Glad to hear you enjoyed your Sonny Boy rewatch. Madoka rewatch or a first time watch? I wonder what you'd think of it, since your favourites don't exactly scream, "Magical Girl fan" to me. 17-26 is cool but it's hard for me to get invested into the shorts given they don't run for very long. Their visuals aren't too bad, one of the episodes felt very much like a Monogatari which was a surprise.
I completely agree with you, but looking back at them is the killer for me. I like writing though, they're typically just kept private. I should get around to writing more, given you've inspired me to a little more than I was prior. Formalities or not, if my point is made, that's my biggest worry; I'm not sure how others would feel about that statement.
I gave Sunny a 6 :). I think about the cast pretty often and how the narrative portrayed said cast. Matsumoto Taiyou is a really great at writing subtle characters who interact with the world and each other so fluidly. Great read, and that ending pieced everything together for me. I should reread Gogo monster.
Thanks for letting me know! The first two movies are mostly the same as the TV series, but they look absolutely gorgeous with some scenes slightly changed (partly to look even more stunning). The third movie is... Very surreal, about as much as Paprika. But it's worth watching
Oh, well, there's a YouTube comment that explains the problem.
Different people like different things about Madoka. But I personally like the tough decisions the characters make and the rough consequences of their actions.
For example, if you want to save as many people as possible, you can kill witches before they eat any person. But this means you won't get a grief seed that could keep you alive. And worse, if you keep doing this, then you take other magical girls at risk, taking their prey too. So maybe it's better to let them kill people so you can live and continue to fight again them. And that would be spoiler but dying as a magical girl also has much worse consequences to the world.
Overall, it's only 12 episodes (not counting Rebellion and the upcoming movie), so I think it's worth a try.
Sonny Boy is a good watch, can't really go wrong with either choice. I'm inclined to watch more, mostly for Pino's antics.
Weird, I guess it's less bait-y. I do remember finding the tone of said bl was really interesting, I should get around to finishing it off, besides, it has been on my mind lately.
Thank you, I appreciate that a lot. I'm sure it might have been obvious some of what I had written was a bit dated and very stream of consciousness. Glad you didn't mind them. I've been deleting a few notes, most of which serve no purpose or I find cringe lmao.
I can't lie, I've been watching that Pino gif over and over again more so than I have writing a reply, forgive me.
Hey! Truthfully, I'm mostly just into DSBM - for An Autumn for Crippled Children, Photophobia and Lunar Aurora - but they're all more ambient than anything. Dragged Into Sunlight or Reptile Womb if you'd prefer something heavier.
If you have a favourite song or band, I'd be happy to listen, hahah.
been a while. just wanna say hope you're doing well and it's nice to see the falin pfp :) read dunmeshi recently, and it became one of my favorite manga
I more or less expect some kind of pretentiousness, and depending on how it's approached, I rarely mind it. I got through one episode today, and I'm planning to knuckle down and watch a few more, so as to not let it be another show I have left pending. Those two seem neat together, and I'm warming up to Pino's antics.
You really got through it, glad to hear you liked it. From what I did watch, the direction and effects weren't bad at all, and it adds a lot to the tone of the show. BL rarely worries me, as long as it isn't seen as exploitative or purely for erotic sentiment, like far too many manhwa.
Feel free to read whatever, just bare in mind they might be written atrociously. I can't lie, I found out pretty recently how to open up the notes on my list, since I just nabbed the preset mal style lmao. I feel the same way, even if it's a short comment that's enough, though I'm usually content with scores, just because I don't expect people to write too much. I'm excited to see your lists once you're finished with them.
right? na self conscious din ako nung napag usapan natin lmao, it's such a geeky reference too.
what's part 5 all about? if experience has taught me anything, it's not always as bad as you think it is. though, i understand the anxiety pero it sounds like you did well naman base sa mga kwento mo.
