i think about the way they drew this scene in the anime sometimes
something about it is so visceral. the way they drew every hair out of place. only in death is she allowed to look imperfect
I'M COOOOOOOONSTANTLY THINKING ABOUT IT.... I said it during my ep 1 rewatch but I really am just so struck with the image of it every time. I have flat out never seen a drawn image that actually looks Like A Corpse with all the implied existential horror before. There's an almost uncanny sense of being unsure whether this is a Living Person or a Dead Object.
I just love her spooky dead eyes so much.................. something about the way the light bleeds in and highlights all her mussed up hair and eyelashes. Despite everything, she looks almost ethereal.
OnK episode 1 had some insanely good immediately iconic imagery but this frame is still the all timer, I think.
watching oshi no ko and the ending, mephisto, is by queen bee. the band’s lead singer avu-chan is of japanese and african-american descent, openly transgender, and HAS THE RANGE
