I read many opinions about the panel so here's my take as well.
I was left with such good vibes honestly. Seeing them together and seeing their friendship being as wholesome as it was back then, really made me happy. Their dynamic is genuinely something that I needed this month and I think all my nerves and anxiety and 5.99$ were worth it even tho we didn't get a season 4 announcement.
I still haven't given up on a possible announcement, just like they haven't either. Like, I am looking forward to the future panels but not essentially because of an announcement but because their dynamic is chef's kiss.
I wish we got more hannigram crumbs and more on their relationship and I wish it was a longer discussion indeed. I could have listened to them for hours. Well, there are always gonna be some bad parts but it's important not to turn them into the main point. I was really excited about it and it met my expectations. And that says a lot since everyone here knows I was expecting s4.
It genuinely felt like catching up with some old friends and my conclusion is that I am very happy for them and I am very happy that we got to watch them being themselves and giving us a few insights. Mads saying that Hannibal was finally thinking about his future because of Will is really everything to me!!
Idk if this is a baby Akashi headcanon or imagine, but I just remembered that trend of parents taking pics of their kids before and after school to show how badly kids mess up their clothes/hair during the day. I thought it would be so funny if baby Akashi would go to school all dressed up looking preppy and neat, but then he comes back home and his parents (especially Masaomi) are horrified to see him walk through the door with his shirt half untucked, his shorts covered in dirt, his shoes the wrong way around, one of his socks missing, and his hair beyond saving. The chaos that would ensue afterward would be legendary.
So before I entered the hannibal Fandom I expected it to be a dark, depressed and fucked fandom, but NO. Yall are just autistic and obsessed with weird ass pics and bunch of memes (me too).
