The fact that this joke is from the very first episode (which aired in January 1997) is messing with me.

I like making art that tastes like coffee.

The sun is starting to set earlier and earlier, which means I get to see some beautiful views on my commute home ☀️

DO NOT LET SOCIAL MEDIA TURN YOU INTO AN AMERICAN

I want an anime re-do of the entire final arc not only for better animation quality reasons but also just because they didn't put this panel in

It's a fairly standard manga technique sure but the complete HALT in the scene's previous erratic momentum and noise is spectacular to me.

Bakura's intrusion and the battle with the six high priests going in all fucking directions, everyone's yelling, everything's moving, monsters and life forces are wrecking each other; the pages are busy, loud, chaotic, wide. You can then spot Atem walking in the midst of it, uncaring of the shouts, not even looking at the creatures, because he's been back in his actual body and in this world made out of his forgotten memories for less than an hour and he's just realized that that's his father's corpse being unceremoniously trampled on the ground (the first real memory of his family he been able to recall in thousands and thousands of years) and at the end of that path there's a single, decisive yet comparatively minuscule panel in the corner of the action, all white and empty except for a bubble of him stating simply "Move." (you don't even see him say it) and the immediate next page is That.

Abrupt silence.

A complete stop.

You can almost hear the shove with no explicitly written sound effects just from how quiet everything is.

It's a small gesture but in a series where aside from the starting volumes and some specific later occasions, most conflict has become something carried out by standing several meters across from each other and at most throwing illusionary beams at people, the return to a tangible physicality and personal humanity of it makes it stand out a lot. There will be time to summon the literal Gods later; right now you've disrespected my father, so get out of the fucking way. Let me carry him. Let me look at him.

wild how despite knowing they're at constant risk of arson attacks every ASoUE character lives in a traditional, large, detached structure composed mainly of flammable materials. I respect the commitment to aesthetic but could I suggest a brutalist concrete block or perhaps an igloo.
