LETS GO MIRAI NIKKI LIVEBLOG THIS TIME HOPEFULLY WITH SCREENSHOTS
(update: nope didnt work. guess i do have to save the pics separately and not just copy-paste them into an rtf o well)
last time on: is Gasai trying to kill them??? i have no idea last time she was onscreen they (she and Yukki) were drinking soda from the vending machine????
I LOVE AKISE AND HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS SO MUCH
like theres the normal guy freaking out and then theres this beautiful white haired disaster
meanwhile I think Yuno is??? roleplaying??? like she counts on him being non-responsive to play out her fantasy of being a caring housewife? anyway yeah she's done this offscreen huh. that was a jarring transition
AND SUDDENLY OPENING
its somehow SUDDEN every time and I admire that
man I love this opening so much and I cant take a single screenshot reflecting how awesome it is because the entire Thing is constant movement
so hey Akise whatcha thinking
man I love just the CONTRAST
Akise:
Other people:
what is it with me and characters who never show their emotions on their face or in their voice but act exclusively based on them??? like theres this very specific anime trope of a white haired character who is stoic as fuck but instead of making rational decisions motivated by human people logic they do 100% self-destructive things based on curiosity / love / sense of duty / whatever the fuck else and in the end they appear to be missing precisely one emotion and that's self-preservation
(yes self preservation is totally an emotion look it up)
Akise is that exact trope and I LOVE IT SO FUCKING MUCH
meanwhile, Yuno is having trouble feeding an unconscious prisoner... what an unexpected problem that could in no way be foreseen. let me guess: she's going to try to wake him up so he can swallow his damn katsudon
ah no instead Hinata intervenes. hon SHE BEAT HIM UP AND TIED HIM TO A CHAIR HOW MUCH DO YOU THINK SHE CARES IF HE WANTS KATSUDON. what made you think speaking up was a good idea here
theres a meme of 'ask someone whos not in the fandom to interpret whats going on in this picture' but you know i think random ppl would identify this situation 100% correctly +- who Hinata is to Yukki. this anime is a cultural icon
"Aren't you Yukiteru's girlfriend? Can't you tell?"
I love the moon logic this anime operates on, that people inside it are forced to work within. Hinata knows how to put it in the one and only way Yuno would be willing to engage with it, ha.
Aaaand looks like it's less roleplaying and more delusion. oh Yuno
ah she figures out how to make him open his mouth by pressing on his jaw
Yuno honey maybe the police wont come after HIM but after the shit you pulled it sure as fuck will come after YOU
then again according to Akise it was coming after you anyway I guess
I'm morbidly curious as to exactly how Yuno is going to organize Yukki peeing >_<
huh, a sock
aaaand Akise goes for the win! two skulls
alas I already know One Spoiler that they are her parents, and her actions Almost Kinda Make Sense in that dream logic way
so I think last time we saw the bodies they were mummies? but now that's definitely skeletons. huh
okay I'll be honest this is a reaction I did not predict
this anime keeps surprising me with happenings that make perfect sense in retrospect, I really respect that about it
OH IS THIS THE SCENE THAT SCREENSHOT SET WAS FROM
NO I THINK THAT WAS YUKKI ASKING HER
but Akise what the fuck are you counting on, that she'll come murder you in person??? I doubt all three of you could overpower her in Murder Mode tbh did you see her with an axe
oh right you didnt :>
OH HEY THAT'S CLEVER
I like how Yuno goes between 100% self-delusion about Yukki and painful 100% sane clarity about the horrible stuff
with the other option being relatively normal interactions with Yuuki, memory suppression about murders and cheerful willingness to kill anyone for Yukki
I think that second option really is better for her long-term )=
you two do you realize she hears you as well maybe shut up
okay no not really -I- know she's thinking because of the camera movement and stuff, -they- don't
aaand she laughs. i dont think anyone (other than Akise I guess) saw this coming
okay yeah looks like the gamble failed. the mind-preservation instinct of retreating into delusion overpowered the more mundane concerns
so that's totally ventilation up there huh. I'm not sure if the gas plan will work for her huh
so hum moment of truth WILL Akise send the email to the police or was that just a threat? (orrr the police might know already? he might have told That Nice Cop Guy about it)
awww Kousaka's dying message is kinda cute
kinda superfluous - the police already know who they're looking for - but nice
AHAHAHA
POST LIMIT
THAT'S KINDA HILARIOUS
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE ELSE JUST USED THE MEMO FUNCTION
ah no the rank increased fair enough
wait what?????
what the fuck @ Deus
ah okay to clarify: what the fuck @ 8th
well hey it worked out!
I still quesiton a ventilation duct in a gassing room but hey I guess there was a lot of gas and Yuno didn't see a reason to conserve it
and Kousaka's question is of course why the fuck is Yuno in her underwear. I mean... fair enough, I'm kinda curious too
omfg
HELLO POLICE I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT A MURDER
oh right... bad joke
anyway I like how camera doesn't play along with Kousaka, while he's saying he's the ultimate weapon he's literally blocked by Yuno's head. we know who the main character is
oh hey Yukki is coming to his senses!
but can't talk huh
right I figured it'd be the soda
*whaps with newspaper* NO
NO BAD YUNO
STOP THAT
(she's drawn so prettily tho damn <3)
oh my sweet summer child you don't know the rules of this game AT ALL
hum and the girls can't escape the same way he did because they aren't tall enough
dude she's gone up against like five diary owners already and came up on top every time
you don't know who you're challenging
huh she actually agrees to play the game
wonder if that's genuine or if she has a plan
like, I can imagine she's just been pulled into the situation and the role of the big bad setting up traps enough to enjoy toying with people and not just getting her way
at the very least she hasn't axe-murdered him... or Hinata for that matter... yet
SERIOUSLY WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED
it definitely wasn't just one event tho. Yuno doesn't act like someone who used to be a normal healthy kid in a supportive environment until One Bad Thing Happened and took their entire world. No, Yuno is acting like someone who'd built up the dissociation/delusion defense mechanisms over a long, long time, like, say, a victim of abuse who finally snapped and then didnt find a way to snap back
I just wanna knooooow
OH MY GOD SHE SOUNDS LIKE SHE HAS A PLAN
IS IT NECROMANCY
IS SHE GONNA DRESS UP YUKKI AND HINATA AS HER PARENTS
WHAT THE FUCK
hum what did Yukki realize
that's not a key is it?
IT ACTUALLY WORKED I CAN'T BELIEVE
aaand
yeah
at least she didn't kill him... immediately
hum
Hinata and Yukki are both tied up so I'm not sure what they can do together behind Yuno's back but I know a foreshadowing shot when I see one
for all that this anime keeps genuinely surprising me with twists, it does take care to make the events easy to follow, and I like that
this is Quality Storytelling
yeah but it would have shown a Dead End, right??? or does it not work like that because it's like a 'secondary' diary, an offshoot of the 8th??? I wonder
AHAHHA sorry Yuno
you're used to being up against diary owners, but so is Yukki, and he's been growing more competent at this too
NICE
and she'd given him his own diary -> ???? brilliant decision
but seriously if Hinata did something to Yukki wouldn't that be predicted
orrr I guess Yukki's actions were actions of a diary owner so when he made a new decision based on his diary (again, brilliant decision) it changed he prediction
ooooohhh she kicked the key
that wasn't doing anything to Yukki in itself, it just enabled Yukki to act, which, again, the actions of a diary owner
three diary owners?????
please tell me that's Akise and Mao and oh right Kousaka was the third one
the math doesn't add up :x
I think the three diary owners would be able to find them bc of Kousaka's Diary and that's the 8th's plan
this must look so utterly surreal from the side
Yuno? You're not going to drug me and tie me up and try to kill my friends, are you?
This girl seriously needs to learn how normal relationships work and I Yearn to learn what the fuck fucked her up like that.
BAD MOVE YUNO
HE ALREADY TRIED THAT
THIS IS THE RESULT
congrats Yuno you Fucked That Up
sorry but... yeah. you deserve this
???? someone in the cast lives in an orphanage???
I'm calling Akise in that case
oh nm it's something else huh
ah that's what it was
oh Kousaka everything about you was a bad idea
...
...
what
it really, really fucking isn't
Yukki acted on information he had, and made the best decisions he had available. but he can't control other people's actions
...are these... the apprentice diary owners? how does the system work, anyway? how does the 8th send them after anyone? Kousaka has no clue...
uh was the dramatic slo mo effect in-universe too??? they were kind of racing on opposite lanes that couldn't have taken more than like. two seconds
see that's not wrong but. you really need to up your girlfriend game
dammit im just rooting for Yuno in all this. you go girl. you fight your inner demons and figure out a happy ending for yourself
damn that felt like a really long episode. probably because of the screenshots
here's a proposition of a new function for the tumblr staff: uploading .rtf files automatically, splitting into several posts if they are too big. thats the kind of convenience the social media is supposed to offer, right?
oh hey Murmur's diary! third installment of the You Saved Me series
beautiful
you naive fucking child
oh my god Murmur
MURMUR NO
so was this, like, a dream or something?
hum
interesting
