I like how the subtitle for Zoro is 'King' and Sanji is 'Queen'. Very fitting.

OOOHHH LOOK AT MY FAV DUOOOO

[sswirlicuee]

I love that Zoro checks out Sanji whenever he can

I mean, if I was in Zoro’s shoes, there would be no way I could not resist smacking that ass.

Quick thoughts on AoT The Last Attack

Spoilers if you haven't read the manga...

So, in simple worlds, this movie basically gets a Code Geass ending with a bonus reel from FMA The Conqueror of Shamballa...

For some background: I was really hooked on the first and second season of AoT back in my college days, around 2014-15. It was all a rage. Though ever since, I hadn't really been following AoT anime. I read enough of the manga to have an idea of how it ended... although the plot really escapes me (who Eldians are, who is fighting who and why etc.) This film just hit the cinemas where I currently live (France), so I guess I'll just write a quick review here.

I'll have to say, the execution for this movie was of great quality. Really minimal use of 3D renditions and only where truly necessary. ...That said, this doesn't mean I condone MAPPA's exploitation or the animation industry's tendency to overwork animators, though... The music was great. The voice acting was also great, as expected. Was really happy that both Kisho and Shimono characters remained until the last chapter. (I was contemplating whether Suzuken could have been in AoT. But after some serious thoughts, I came to a conclusion that there was just no Suzuken roles in AoT. Simple as that.) Was a bit conflicted with Inoue Marina in the Armin role though... She really delivered, don't get me wrong. The wailing and brawling she did at the end were really on point. But they could have cast a male seiyuu for grown-up Armin, maybe? I wonder who would have gotten the role. If Shimono's not already voicing Conny, I'd say Shimono, hands down.

As for the story, I can only say that this movie followed the manga pretty closely, right up until the end, before they added a bit of continuation of their own. Ok fine, Eren's headed for a Lelouch ending with his penchant for martyrdom and God complex and all (minus all the sass and dramas that came with the latter. Lelouch's my #1 dramatic baby. I adore him.) But I couldn't really say if Eren's choice was justified or not, since I didn't really follow the story very closely.

The bonus reels though. I truly enjoyed the comical effects it created, especially the bit with Levi cleaning the glass panels in the cinema hall. But, as opposed to FMA the Conquerer of Shamballa, this one felt a bit off, I guess. FMA CoS was a 2-hour ride of AU timeline courtesy of the animation company, and not at all the manga canon. AoT the Last Attack, on the other hand, followed the manga pretty closely up until the end, as far as I know. The last bit where the AoT world slowly transforms into a pseudo-modern world recognizable as our own felt truly like a filler. The modern reincarnation of the main trio getting out of the cinema after watching this exact film felt like a copy-and-paste from FMA CoS bonus reel, to be honest. It was enjoyable, alright. But was it original? Hardly.

Thus ends my quick review. I think if you're an AoT fan, you'll love this film. If you're not, it's still a nice film to watch (but you'll need some background knowledge, of course). I had expected it to be sadder though, but I guess tearjerker was not the genre they were aiming for.

Burning question from someone who doesn't play GBF: is he wearing heels or not in his new Orison outfit? Can someone take a closer look at his game sprite and tell me?

Also, why do they have to hide it on purpose?

[sswirlicuee]

No one: "Please sit in a chair properly."

Meanwhile, Suzuken characters:

And these are all official merch photos. Why do they all have to have a foot or both feet up on the seat? The last two were giving off so much chaotic energy too.

Bonus: Masato, the gentleman. Because he is Suzuken's most divergent casting.

Grilled is 8,000 words into the last chapter of Missing You. This thing is turning out to be a monster to write. I'm going through a rough phase, but am trying my best!!

Looking a bit noodle-y there, Sanji. What's wrong, too much dope?

I love the fact that no matter what, Steven Stone is always portrayed as being constantly surrounded by his favourite first stage Pokémon. Truly a character trait that stands out.

Another Christmas passed by without Grilled finishing her fic... But there was some progress!

Quiz of the day: what is this poster advertising for?

Sanji & Zoro "Bragmen" 🤔

(Answer under cut)

It's a fitness gym in Japan. They are celebrating their 2nd anniversary with special Sanji and Zoro programmes...

Hey there, wanted to reach out (this is Wolflyn from AO3) to say thank you. You recently stopped by and left kudos on pretty much my whole fic catalog and I wanted to say thank you for that. I've been really struggling as of late, and didn't know a better way to contact you to share my appreciation. So thank you, kind stranger.

Omg, thank you for taking the trouble to track me down and reach out. I'm so honored. Yes, I've been through all of your Steven centric fics and they were honestly top notch. Such serious writings. Thank YOU for bringing them about. The world is all the better for it 🙇‍♂️.

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through rough waters. I hope this period passes and resolves itself in due time, and everything regains meanings in perspective. *hugs*
