"A basic enemy encountered throughout Yharnam and the surrounding areas. Huntsmen patrolling the streets of Central Yharnam will travel set routes which you can use to either avoid or ambush them; they also sometimes guard fixed positions. These foes are weak on their own, but almost never appear alone — the greatest danger they present is their ability to swarm you in large numbers if you're not careful. Their close-range torch attacks are especially deadly, because they leave almost no time to react and can hit you several times in a row; on the other hand, their weapon attacks have longer reach, but are much slower and more predictable" - Bloodborne Collector's Edition Guide
Princess Mononoke’s mother wolf Moro and Howl’s Moving Castle’s Witch of the Waste are both voiced by a famous singer and drag queen Akihiro Miwa.
Akihiro Miwa (born in 1935) is one of the most prominent queer icon in Japanese history, who survived the atomic bombing of Nagasaki (his hometown) during WW2.

Here’s a video clip of the finishes scene in the movie between Moro and Ashitaka.
"These brutes hit hard and move surprisingly quickly for such large opponents. The brick-carrying Minion is the more common of the two types that you'll encounter and you'll need to pay attention to spot the rare statue type as you approach them, so that you can adjust your tactics accordingly. Both types will walk up to you slowly when they spot you, and once they're a few meters away they'll tend to close the remaining distance with their Shoulder Charge. This attack can be difficult to avoid, because of their size and the range they use it from, so when you see them drop their shoulder and start the attack, it's often better to go for an interrupt rather than evade. At close range, the Brick Minion will often perform a furious Brick Combo attack consisting of multiple swift blows with the bricks they carry. While this attack can provide another interrupt opportunity, it's safer to quickstep behind them - but remember to keep moving around them because they will turn slightly after each hit of the combo." - Bloodborne Collector's Edition Guide
I think we all know I am a huge fan of Miyazaki/ Studio Ghibli films. So when I heard the trailer for The Boy and the Heron released I was pretty excited. I know absolutely nothing about this film other than it’s a very loose adaptation of a novel, which I’ll have to look more into. That being the said the visuals in the trailer look amazing.
I was inspired by a piece of concept art that has been circulating and wanted to do a quick paint up of my version in anticipation. Again no clue who this critter is but the design is right up my alley. Are any of you looking forward to seeing The Boy and the Heron?
