so I just watched the Mirai Nikki Redial OVA

given the knowledge that this is how the manga ended (more or less), I, uh, I really don't get why people think it had a bad ending?

like, honestly, both Yuki and Yuno are just incredibly loving broken people. they're not monsters. more than anything, by the end, I just wanted there to be some loving way, I didn't even care how, that they'd come out of it together and happy and alive. so the entire ending of the series, not knowing about Redial, was basically one gigantic punch in the dick to me as a result of this. however, Redial gives me literally loving exactly what I wanted. is the method a bit rear end-pull-ish? yeah, sure. do I give a gently caress? no. Yuki and Yuno finally got their loving HAPPY END and it was the most adorable god drat thing ever and I am so happy that the series doesn't go out on Yuki pining for Yuno in a featureless void, staring at the diary entry of her dying for 10,000 years.
iunno how you think yuno and yuki are adorable and happy, but im glad you enjoyed the show

I'd rather trying a bit too hard then mistranslations, typos, and outright gently caress-ups like 90% of crunchy translations. Not surprising when they get paid like 80 dollars an episode tho.

Or something. Don't doubt science.
why would a cosplayer be wearing that if the entire point of a cosplay is to imitate the original outfit

also why would a cosplayer go 'ah, this guy with a camera is getting me to bend over and is trying to stick the camera up my skirt, i wonder what his endgame here is'

i thought spiritus nox was gonna protest the happy ending of gx but actually he was cool with it, so now i have a lot of random symph thoughts but can't make a giant quote for it. So here's just my favorite bikki quote

quote:

I'm not the only one fighting. I thought I could use the Symphogear to be a savior, but that's conceited. Saving someone doesn't mean just putting my best effort forward. The person I save is also fighting, right? To really save someone is impossible to do all on your own. That's why Kanade told me not to give up on living. Not that she would protect me. But that she could help me save myself.

oh also i tl'd the little blurb in the symph axz trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRYvAHsrpLQ

quote:

The menace lurking in the shadows bears its fangs at the world.
A string of violent attacks, orchestrated by one group - the Bavarian Hope Society (Illuminati)
Once more, let's answer the question:
Is there a song in your heart?

the illuminati were mentioned briefly in G, when Maria talked about the US hiding the reality of the moon attacks. Since they're in some sort of jungle or congo-esque environment in the trailer, and the illuminati would naturally control world affairs, maybe it's globehopping symphogear. who knows!

I don't know what The Point Of The Show As Interpreted By Nox is, but I thought Homuras actions were entirely in character in the third movie instalment of Horuma loves Madoka.

Endorph
Jul 22, 2009

rebellion is about how sacrificing yourself for the sake of others is all well and good but that it still hurts the people around you. homura isn't rejecting what madoka's sacrifice stood for, she's rejecting that madoka should have ever had to sacrifice herself in the first place. madoka was a wholly blameless person who had to destroy her entire existence so that other people could live, and at the end of the day the world she got from it was hollow and empty, at least for Homura. Homura would rather a flawed world with Madoka in it than a 'perfect' world without Madoka in it. It's not about 'lol love and peace is bad!,' it's about how all-consuming Homura's love is, how an ending that might be good for one person is bad for another. This is the conflict between Sayaka and Homura.

I find it compelling because I am a human being and have been selfish in my life, and Homura's actions aren't completely black or white. They're born out of love and a desire for Madoka to be happy, even if she's also tied her own self-worth into Madoka's happiness.

also I forgot what nagisa's wish was lol
Wish: Unconfirmed. Puella Magi Production Note suggests it was for "one single cheesecake".
I think some manga or something says that her mom was sick and she wished to have cheesecake with her one last time, since it was both her and her mom's favorite food, but then she realized she could have wished to cure her mom's illness and got owned

*extremely woke but only half-ironic voice* homura's actions are framed as a bad thing because she isn't letting her homosexual love for madoka end in tragedy like so many other stories of the type, and is in fact actively tearing down the previous ending so that her love can be expressed fully. sayaka, as the most heterosexual member of the cast, is framed in stark opposition to this, but in the ending this is shown to be her own self-defense mechanism against her own homosexual urges, expressed by kyouko becoming a full member of the group instead of an odd hanger-on.
