Oh wow congratulations ;> Yeeey Ino/Augusta great team!!! I also pulled Augusta in her rerun now... Cool I got Aemath as well plus day ago my super sexy boio Luuk <33
What about Sigrika? Are you interested? You should also consider Galbrena or Luuk... They are pretty easy to use ;D
and damn Honkai?! The new general drained my jades ugh CRIESSSS
No worries, my life got chaotic too. I took a break for a few weeks because school got a bit busy. As for the comment, I deleted it and was planning to reply later, so it wouldn’t get lost. Yeah, imperfections definitely make hand-drawn art look better and stand out. By the way, the new set looks really good! I really like the colour palette you went for.
Understood! And yeah, take your time, that's totally understandable. I'll try and split these up into paragraphs as best I can but it's still going to be quite a mess I'm afraid.
Episode five just makes me happy, it feels a little jarring the sudden cut to episodes five and six feeling really episodic and some time having passed but I do enjoy them. I forgot to mention that I really like that the setting has its own story for the invention of the typewriter, you don't see that sort of thing too often.
I love the scene at the lake in episode eight, and then the ending of the episode with the blank title card is brutal. I think learning in episode eight that her penchant for writing reports comes from Gilbert wanting her to learn how to write got to me more than her finally finding out about his fate. Violet wanting to hold on to hope that he was alive as well, I feel like a lot of other characters in a similar position would have known deep down but Violet's so straightforward that I think she really did have no idea.
I love the violin (? maybe it's a cello?) music that plays when she's having a breakdown in her room in episode nine, and the end of the episode showing all the things she's done for people and how although the bad things she's done can't be erased neither can the good, and then the episode title being her name; that wasn't the first time I cried watching this but I haven't cried that much in a long time. That's a really, really good episode.
Seeing it coming doesn't make who the letters were for in episode ten hurt any less, and actually that makes me realise that as much as this keeps getting to me emotionally, it's never pure sadness, there's always some sweetness to it as well. I also like how as much as Violet has grown, she still has her quirks, she's not magically perfect or anything; I guess that goes back to what Hodgins said about neither the bad nor the good going away; she still has her rigidness from having been a solider but she also has all these feelings inside her now from what she's done after the war, and she can understand people and play with kids now even despite some awkwardness, and I don't think she could have done that at all before, and like it's okay that everything from before hasn't gone away. Oh I finally figured out the significance of her losing her arms in the war; she lost that which she needs most for what ends up being her job and yet she recovers from it, gets used to them, and with some adjustments and presumably maintenance she can keep going. I feel like there's something to how seeing her prosthetic arms shocks people as well. I think Aiden's last words were probably the same as what Gilbert said to her, so that can't have been easy for her. And wow this show really starts getting you emotional and then never stops after about episode seven or eight. It's interesting as well I feel that the series becomes closer to war as it goes on rather than the other way around as one might expect.
That's everything I had written down already, for some reason I never wrote down my thoughts on the rest but I should be able to remember them all.
What I said about the series getting closer to war, it's like she's started to heal and can now confront her past, and that leads into the what comes next quite nicely. The last couple episodes with her choosing to get involved in the fighting because it's what she wanted to do was, not quite nice per se, but her having something she wanted to do that much was nice to see, and Dietfried slowly coming to not hate her over it as he gets over his own issues with the death of his brother as well as realising that Violet has changed and really has a will of her own now. I really liked how she used her prosthetic arms to protect him as well, like that's only something she could do because of her past and even then it's not really shown to be something glamorous either, and yet it was something she was able to do. I forget when the scene with her and Dietfried on the boat was, if that was in the series or one of the other parts, but that was really nice throughout. Actually maybe I have forgotten a few things but I think that's most of it, it's a lovely ending to the series. I spent most of the last five episodes crying and was so emotionally compromised that it made me tear up a lot at the first couple of episodes of Frieren the day after.
As for the rest of it:
That extra episode I suppose I'd call it was a nice one. The Gaiden film was nice, like I don't have any issues with it, but I don't think it hits as hard as the rest of the series due to not really focusing on Violet. And then the main film; at first I thought he had amnesia and thought it was a bit cheap perhaps, but as it goes on and you start to understand his reasoning and everything, it all ends up making a lot of sense and I can understand where he was coming from, and I like how this time it's his turn to heal from his past, and whilst it didn't get to me as much as the series I do like it a lot and it's an ending they both deserved: getting to do what they really want to without feeling like they're not allowed to. Dietfriend talking to his brother and making sure that he read Violet's letter was a great scene. Oh and then that stamp, the stamp at the end; wow I nearly teared up just remembering that. And it's really nice using the family from episode ten to tie things together, and I guess show the impact she had and how the world's changed much like Violet did.
All in all it's a lovely series and I'm very glad to have gotten around to it. I don't have nearly as much to say about Frieren but either way I think I'll save my thoughts on that for now, that'll give me some time to write them all up nicely as well. Ah good, good to hear; I understand what you mean, happens to all of us from time to time.
