Jujutsu Kaisen s2 ep3

Overall I'm enjoying this because it's jjk but I have a few gripes ngl

Scroll away if you might be upset by a less than glowing review

I'm so sorry to these mappa employees and I completely understand why they went with the less detailed look but 😕 idk man

(I'm not bothered by the new style, I loved ep1 and enjoyed ep2 for the most part)

BUT

There's something missing in the weight and impact of the fight scenes. Kuroi and Geto's fight scenes in ep 2 didn't even make sense. Even the blood splatter looks a little lifeless.

There's a reason the more detailed, less "pretty" and a little rigid style worked for jjk. I understand that this season has better animation, background work and composition but there's something off in the feel of it

I also think they could have adapted and arranged this episode a little different from the manga. Like:

Reveal Geto and Gojo's thoughts on the merger and letting Riko go while they watch her at the aquarium

Give us a view of how Gojo sees sorcerers and humans and the CE they have or give off and then show us none coming from Toji to show us his invisiblity. Then have Gojo inner monologue about how that's impossible, but quickly move on to "if that's the case, it must be heavenly restriction allowing him superhuman abilities" or something

(jjk isn't really a hand holding show but some anime onlys haven't heard the term in 3 years, they might not know what he means)

Show Riko thinking about growing up with Kuroi while she's at the aquarium so we don't have 1 relatively silent montage followed by another

Show Geto looking at Kuroi holding back tears or having a trembling lip before she says she can't go any further

Show Gojo using his six eyes to figure out the inverted spear of heaven's ability then just have Toji say the name

Idk, I can't think of anything else rn but in all honesty, the impact of the fights not hitting quite as hard is the most worrying considering there's gonna be non stop action for more than half the season

I understand that with how much needs to be adapted, it wouldn't be practical to do what Sung Hoo Park did in extending and adding to the fights and I might be proven wrong when Gojo v Toji continues

(plus this can and might be addressed in a Blu-ray edition)

But I still think it's a shame that 3 out of the 4 fights so far haven't hit the way others in jjk have. Season 1, imo, put as much weight into even the smaller fights

Idk, maybe I'm just bugging. Don't kill me, I just needed to rant

(s2 still above and s1 still below)

Someone posted this on twitter and (again I don't dislike the s2 look BUT) I can't deny that there's something special about the aesthetic of s1. Like his eyes don't just have a glow filter look to them, they have the actual sky. I understand and respect that they probably don't have the time to animate that anymore but I'm allowed to say I prefer it

Idk s2 kinda looks like an AI art

Yomi Takanashi

Age: 13-15 in the anime and 18 or 19 on the blog depending on the verse.

Height: 5′5 in the series, 5′7 on the blog.

Sex: Homoromantic/ homosexual.

Handiness: Right.

Otherself: Dead Master.

Likes: Creating art, listening to music, colors, the book: The Tiny Bird and the Colors, Mato, and being liked by others.

Hates: Being forgotten, feeling replaced, being abused.

Personality: A bit shy, but Yomi tries to be nice to everyone.  She can also be clingy and is a little bit of a jealous type as well.

Random Fact: Her name reads Kotori Asobi “Playful Little Bird.” , but is pronounced Takanashi Yomi “No Hawks.” Mato calls Yomi her Playful Little Bird because of this.

Back Story: When Yomi was younger she lived in Kyoto with her family. She often would play with her cousin Yuki, and her childhood best friend Kagari. When her father found a better job in Tokyo, Yomi was forced to move. Her friend Kagari was heart-broken, and the  day she was moving was the day that changed her life.

As Yomi was in the car, Kagari chased after them, trying to catch up with them, running right out into traffic, causing an accident. Kagari had gotten severely injured and Yomi was to blame, it was all Yomi’s fault, at least that was the story Kagari would tell. After the accident, Kagari moved with Yomi, this way, she and Yomi could be together forever, Yomi could never leave her, ever again.

For years Yomi obeyed Kagari’s every whim. After all, she felt guilty, Kagari was hurt and it was her fault. She had to make it up to her, even if she got hurt in the end. 

And then  her first day of middle school happened, and she met Mato.  From the moment she met Kuroi, Yomi felt something special about her, or at least quirky. Soon, against Kagari’s wishes, the two became friends, Yomi even allowed Mato to come over. Kagari however, sabotaged things, and ran Mato off. Yomi was hers and hers alone.

After that Mato tried to hang out with Yomi again, inviting her to a festival. Kagari wouldn’t permit Yomi from going, forcing her to stay home, and only send three texts. Yomi felt guilty, she felt so guilty that she could cry. Feeling jealous, Kagari forced Yomi to strip, to which Yomi obeyed, and the blonde scratched a heart on Yomi’s chest with a needle.

Kagari only got more possessive of Yomi. Mato was ruining everything for her. She had one more plot up her sleeve. She wheeled herself to the top of the staircase, and told Yomi she’d fall and it’d be her fault. Before Yomi could stop her, Kagari fell and was taken to the hospital.

At the hospital, Yomi stayed by her friend’s side, Kagari told Yomi that she belonged to her now, but of course, there was Mato on the otherside of the door. While Mato convinced Yomi to stop giving into Kagari every single time, her otherself, Black Rock Shooter had freed Dead Master, and killed Kagari’s otherself, Chariot, causing Kagari to lose consciousness with a smile.

After that, things seemed fine at first. It turned out that Kagari’s legs were never injured. She started walking again, and even started going to school. Kagari finally seemed happy. Yomi was too. She had Mato. Mato was so special and inspiring. Yomi in her art club at school, even started painting a picture of her.

There was only one problem. Mato was always hanging out with her own friend Yuu. Yomi felt jealous. How could she compete with Yuu? Yuu had been friends with Mato longer than she had. They did everything together. They even played in the same basketball team. Yomi started feeling jealous and left out. It only got worse when the school counselor had basically said that her life meant nothing, causing Dead Master to truly awaken, seal herself away, and go insane.

There was only one thing keeping her together. She still had Kagari, right?.. There’s the doorbell! Kagari!

It was raining. Kagari had come over to bring Yomi some sweets, but essentially had told Yomi that she forgot why they were even friends in the first place. Yomi finally broke.

It wasn’t much long after when Black Rock Shooter killed Dead Master. Afterwards, Yomi felt free..When Black Rock Shooter had killed her otherself, Yomi forgot about the thing that had caused her to feel negative emotions. She had forgotten about Mato completely. Something happened however, which caused her to break free from her temporary carefree state. The teacher had announced that Mato was missing. Yomi at first wasn’t sure what to think. Mato was just a student right? They never hung out or anything. The more she thought about it, her heart hurt, and she gave in to the pain, remembering everything. Remembering caused her otherself, Dead Master to wake back up, allowing the reaper to aid Mato in destroying Insane Black Rock Shooter. 

During the same day, when the sky was getting dark, Mato found Yomi. Yomi was so glad to see her again. Mato just embraced her friend tightly, crying, apologizing for not considering her feelings at first, to which Yomi had said it was okay. Now everything was  happy. Mato, Yomi, Kagari and Yuu, were all friends, they were all happy, and they had the crocheted friendship bracelets to prove it, provided by the artsy Yomi Takanashi of course!

Ganbare Goemon Production Material Museum Part 4: The Twinkling Travels, or The Reason I Became A Dancer.

The fourth entry in the Goemon Production Material Museum, which happens to cover the fourth Super Famicom game in the series, がんばれゴエモン きらきら道中〜僕がダンサーになった理由〜 /Ganbare Goemon: Kirakira Dōchū: Boku ga Dansā ni Natta Wake, which loosely translates to “Twinkling Travels or The Reason I Became A Dancer”. There’s also a bit of concept art for the second Goemon game released for the original PlayStation, がんばれゴエモン〜来るなら恋! 綾繁一家の黒い影〜 /Ganbare Goemon: Kurunara Koi! Ayashige Ikkai no Kuroi Kage.

Production Tidbits

Yamauchi: We were supposed to talk about Kirakira Dōchū, but instead we’re going to talk about Kurunara Koi! Ayashige Ikka no Kuroi Kage.

Ebisu: We’re not talking about Kirakira Dōchū? What is this Ayashige Ikka?

Yamauchi: Ayashige Ikka was a Goemon game [for the PlayStation] made by Konami’s Nagoya division at the same time Goemon’s Great Adventure was being developed for the Nintendo 64 at Osaka. I’ve uncovered concept art from that game while I was messing around with my desk. They must’ve given these to me when I went there once to oversee its development state.

Ebisu: Isn’t that the planning document? You really know how to take care of your things. So what kind of game Ayashige Ikka was.

Yamauchi: Well, it was... Oh, look! It’s not much, but I found some concept art  for Kirakira Dōchū after all.

Ebisu: Ah! That game brings so much good memories. I really wanted to make a board game at that time. Something for multiple players. Goemon games usually allowed up to two players, but I wanted more people to play. And since it was going to be the 4th Goemon game [on the Super Famicom], I thought it would be fitting to allow up to 4 players to go along with the theme of 4.

Yamauchi: That’s why the boss battles have support for up to four players simultaneously. But they’re all just button smashing events.

Ebisu: That’s because I like to smash buttons. Ultimately we decided that instead of making a pure board game, it would be a mix of a side-scrolling action and a party game. I was pretty satisfied with the results. Additionally I put in an absurd amount of Puzzle Dama events.

Yamauchi: These boss battles ultimately had a somewhat mixed reception though. Personally I liked them. The Planet Catch event that served as the final boss battle is my favorite, since I was the one who came up with the specifications for that.

Ebisu: The Bungee Sword Grasp and the Planet Catch were also pretty good for the feeling of tension they create. Speaking of which, Harakiri Seppukumaru, the name of the antagonist, was a name given at the last moment, so he was given a line cut at the abdomen.

Yamauchi: It was a bit too late to change it...

Ebisu: It was a tough job, but ultimately I had fun.

Yamauchi: We did too much as we please, since the game was suddenly set in the alien world of Planet Impact. We’ll leave you with these nostalgic concept art.

Ebisu: So what were you going to say about that Ayashige Ikkai game?

Concept Art Gallery

Opening Sequence Line Art - Shown during a conversation scene where they talk with Goemon Impact. The four heroes are all in place.

Sportsmanship - Many stages are held here such as the Bungee Sword Grasp and the Sky Drop. It is filled with sports equipment arranged by Seppukumaru himself.

Harakiri Seppukumaru - Is an explanation necessary? The creators all laughed at his last line (nandato!).

Kabaddi Player - A mech that guards Castle Kubarsar. It begins an endless pursuit when it finds an intruder.

Ayashige concept art #1 - Story progression chart for the PlayStation Ayashige Ikka. It seems Omicchan gets kidnapped and later Ebisumaru, Sasuke and Yae are also captured.

Ayashige concept art #2 - The four Impact machines and their combined form, as they appeared in Ayashige Ikka. I felt sorry after seeing this and decided to make an Impact version of Omicchan for the N64 game.

Ayashige concept art #3 -The enemy faction of the game. The titular Ayashige clan (consisting of son Pon in the middle, the Mother on the left and the Father on the right) had a very different image. The “evil underlings” shown below were all rejected from the game.

Lair Review: GhostBreath

@wxnderingstxrs-fr

Kuroi Okay, so first off I am personally horrid at putting together outfits that aren’t a set. But this is just about the best I’ve seen. He is stunning visually. The colours all work really well with the blue as the accent, and even the familiar matches well. 

Looks spooky up front; I can’t decide what vibe he’s giving me personality wise. Elegant, probably moves with grace and seemingly effortless movements. He’s the first in the lair as a whole, so I imagine He’s important! I’d love to know more!

Runic Traditionally not a huge fan of coatl, nor of that accent because it covers the wings so entirely and just looks too busy with most apparel. But she is dressed to the nines, if simplistically. Gold and red have always and will always go together, and always make me think of royalty. My bet is that this dragon not only looks amazing, but is likely very intelligent and well-read.

Azariel Because I’m in love with all things plague and all things dark crimson. This boy looks like a carnage incarnate. I bet after he is done with his food, his familiar crawls through the bones for scraps! (Or whatever is left...) I really dig the way the scales on him look, whether from the accent or just his coloration as a spiral. The runes make me think he is actually some kind of necromancer. I’m super curious about him, and I want to know more! 

Rhan Heck. I am just in awe of her. I’m a total sucker for the female skydancers, but she in particular is just gorgeous. The purple I would argue is the secondary colour here, with the blue being primary. She looks like the night sky with an aurora running through it, or right before the sky goes entirely dark at night. That being said, I also don’t see her as one to stand by during conflict. She is a queen in her own right, but despite her beauty I could totally see her in the thick of it. Whether in conversation holding her ground, unswaying in her demands; or on the battlefield. I bet there wouldn’t be a drop of blood on her either, her fighting would be like a dance.

Kracht Was gonna try and find a different breed, but tbh you just have impeccable taste in PCs. Despite being a triple, the apparel you’ve given him allows his colours to not look like ‘too much’. The red eyes, and on the sword and candles give him a deadly look, not to mention spooky. Which suits him great as a spirit! I like his lore a lot! Too many times I’ve seen ghost stories about angsty ghosts. This guy just wants to help out, and I appreciate that in rl and especially in characters. Would love to read a short story about him helping out a dragon in distress. I’d be curious to see what his daily life is about.

Ireen

I typically don’t use the banners on my own dragons, but in this case, I’m a huge fan. Smoke is not a gene I see a lot of anymore, and originally I wasn’t a fan of it either. Here is it reminiscent of ink or watercolours. The perfect way to make her look like painted art. And then the big apparel pieces are there, and they cover most of her. Makes anything left showing look like an accent, like marble trim if there ever was such a thing. Bottom line for her, she could kick ass and look good doing it. She isn’t overdressed, which I appreciate. The gold looks really good on her too, and even though the colour in her ear is so subtle, it really makes the gold accents on the banner and shoulder pop. (Along with that necklace!) She would look super rad with gold claws. (Neeri is also phenomenal. I’m not going to count this as a review of him but ugh. The pair is just too good. At first I thought they were a couple and I was gonna ask for a baby, but they’re siblings! Honestly just makes them that much cooler.) Shout Outs: Ai - Personally not one for pinks but damn if she doesn’t look like a love potion and affect me like one too Jemmal - Because violet and gold Heerser - Uuuuuuhm I’m all about the earth tones but he somehow looks like he came from the earth and ascended into the heavens Andeddo - The tarnish opal really looks good. I dig. Sunspill - HECK. Looks like a desert traveller. Possibly some kind of merchant? Zaa - would fit in with my clan PERFECTLY. Wendigo - his story reminds me of the book ‘A Promise is a Promise’ */I am forcibly removed from your lair/*

Glacier Drake

“Feather Dragon” © deviantArt user Kuroi-Kisin. Accessed here

[Not 100% satisfied with the art, but that’s what happens when you homebrew. One of the major inspirations for these guys were the weirdo pterosaurs and fuzzy gliding dinosaurs from Dougal Dixon’s The New Dinosaurs]

Drake, Glacier CR 5 LE Dragon Swooping down from the sky is a dragon-like creature covered in a thick coat of white fur with bone-white scales peering through. A long tongue laps eagerly within its toothed beak. Its long tail is tipped in a cluster of smooth spines, from which drip a bluish fluid.

Vampires of the frozen north, glacier drakes descend upon lone travelers and remote villages alike to slake their thirst for blood. They tend to feed on megafauna, but will incorporate humanoids and giants into their diet as well. It is rumored that glacier drakes prefer the blood of children, but this is unconfirmed���it would make sense, however, for the canny predators to focus on weaker targets. Being top predators, glacier drakes are in competition with other carnivores of the icy climes they prefer, such as winter wolves and yetis. The rivalry between yeti and glacier drakes exceeds that of simple competition, however; for reasons unknown both species will go out of their way to kill the others’ young, disrupt their ambushes, and raid each others’ treasures.

The most social of the drakes, glacier drakes live in large groups, with several families living in association. Despite their cruelty to other creatures, glacier drakes are excellent parents and care for wounded or sick individuals, regurgitating blood for members of the family too weak to hunt. The caves and crevasses where glacier drakes live are perilous places; they are chosen for inaccessibility, and many are laden with pits and other crude traps. They also reek of ammonia—glacier drakes urinate constantly due to their need to stay light and their all-liquid diet. Glacier drakes love treasure, especially red gems, and take what they can carry into their caves.

Glacier Drake     CR 5 XP 1,600 LE Medium dragon (cold) Init +4; Senses darkvision 60ft, low-light vision, Perception +10 Defense AC 18, touch 14, flat-footed 14 (+4 Dex, +4 natural) hp 57 (6d12+18) Fort +8, Ref +9, Will +6 Immune cold, paralysis, sleep; Vulnerability fire Offense Speed 20 ft., fly 60 ft. (average) Melee bite +8 (1d6+2 plus 1d6 cold and attach) and talons +8 (2d4+2) Ranged 3 ice shards +10 (1d4+2 plus fatigue) Special Attacks attach, blood drain Statistics Str 14, Dex 18, Con 16, Int 9, Wis 13, Cha 11 Base Atk +6; CMB +8; CMD 22 Feats Hover, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot Skills Climb +11, Fly +13, Intimidate +9, Perception +10, Stealth +13 (+17 in ice or snow); Racial Modifiers +4 Stealth made in ice or snow Languages Draconic, Giant Ecology Environment cold mountains and hills Organization solitary, pair, flight (3-6) or brood (6-36) Treasure standard Special Abilities Attach (Ex) A glacier drake that hits an opponent with its bite attack latches on with its powerful jaws. An attached glacier drake loses its Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, but is effectively treated as grappling its victim. It can be struck with weapons, or grappled itself—if its prey manages to win a grapple check or Escape Artist check against it, the glacier drake is removed. Blood Drain (Ex) A glacier drake deals 1d4 points of Constitution damage every round it remains attached. A glacier drake will drink 8 points of Constitution before willingly detaching to digest it. If a glacier drake consumes more than 8 points of Constitution from a foe, it grows sluggish from the large meal and is treated as fatigued until it rests for eight hours. Ice Shards (Ex) A glacier drake can fire three ice shards from its tail as a standard action (each shard requires a separate attack roll). This attack has a range of 100 feet with no range increment. A creature struck by an ice shard must succeed a DC 16 Fortitude save or be fatigued for one hour. If a creature fails another save against the ice shards during this duration, it is instead exhausted for one hour. Additional failed saves reset the duration, but do not instill further penalties. Creatures that are immune to cold are immune to this fatigue. The save DC is Constitution based. A glacier drake can fire only eighteen ice shards in a 24 hour period.
