I'm sorry but I can't ignore how Ash didn't know if he was going to come back from the Arthur fight and the last thing he did was to put a little blanket over Eiji,,,

#it's a small detail to YOU it means everything to me #he wanted to give Eiji a little bit of comfort SOBS #imagine Ash putting on his jacket... taking one last look at Eiji... grabbing the closest fabric he can find..#and putting it on Eiji WAAAAAAAAAAA #banana fish #ash lynx #eiji okumura #banana fish spoilers #asheiji #aslan jade callenreese #ash x eiji #mimi posts #if u saw this yesterday no u didn't

thinking about how eiji's a pole vaulter and how ash talks about eiji "flying" and how eiji's associated with bird imagery and how eiji's free (unlike ash) and how eiji comes in on a plane and leaves on a plane and how ash cannot fly, ash cannot be free, how nyc is ash's prison, and how ash is the leopard who dies climbing the mountain, unable to live at such elevation, how he was trying to reach the sky and be free but was always stuck to the earth, how he chose to die instead of climbing back down, how he chose to die where he could see the sky and hope and freedom almost like a bird with eiji's letter right in front of him rather than letting everything go wrong and ruin it once again, how eiji's a failed pole vaulter anyway, how a bad fall ruined his career and grounded him (physically and emotionally), how it took flying to america and meeting ash and needing to save him and skip for him to try flying again, how he landed hard and harsh and still the thought of that escape compelled ash to protect eiji at all costs because if he could fly that means something to him, even if he doesn't think he can fly, how eiji is the manifestation of his hope and how when he breaks and asks eiji to stay with him a while he folds himself over his legs and weighs him down and traps him and grounds him, how ash fights like hell to keep eiji alive not because he thinks he can be like him (hopeful, flying, innocent), but because he makes him forget the gravity of his situation, and so he can see eiji fly again. how he wants to see him escape. how eiji is a bird and ash is a wildcat and how ash never once saw eiji as prey. how eiji never saw ash as a predator. how it is eiji's naivete that first endears ash to him, how it is his freedom and flight and removal from darkness and his ability to leave that darkness that really roots eiji in ash's blood as something essential to him keeping on living in this hell of nyc. how it is that distance from the violence and that hope for the future that ash chooses to surround himself in as he dies. how ash dies in a dream because he feels more than anything that he can't fly like eiji, that he can never leave. how his violence is a part of him and will be forever, how it weighs him down. how he wants to enjoy the view from the mountainside rather than looking up from the ground below. as if they can both fly. as if he is with him up there and not grounded. eye-to-eye with what he can't have, seeing eiji's homeland: the sky. how he dies trying to reach the top because he couldn't take retreating and trying again. how ash, tired and tired and tired and convinced it will go on forever if he crawls back down the mountain, chooses to close his life deluged in eiji, in eiji's insistence that they can fly together, in eiji's hope for him and for them, in eiji's beautiful dream. how ash dies without trying to realize that dream. how ash, in dying, destroys it.

#banana fish spoilers #I'M HAVING A FUCKING MOMENT #mutual reblogged exactly one (1) piece of ash fanart and sent me on A Multiple Hour Long Thing and now im rewatching it lol #yes i am only on episode 2 yes i am still going to write big long analysis posts ANYWAY #whatever hope this makes sense. anyway #banana fish #okumura eiji #ash lynx #asheiji #hhhhh i can't believe i've only watched this twice in like what 5.5 years?? sheesh #anywayyyyyyy i care about them a lot ok. god #and yes i DO kinda have beef with the decision to kill ash off at the end but it really does say so much About his character #that he chose to die in the way that he did even though he's been throwing his life away since episode 1 #dying in peace in comfort in solitude rather than in some chaotic battlefield.... ough...... in the peace eiji alone could give him.....#anywayss i relate to ash a little more than i should so. this one's for us cool guy bottoms up #edit i uh.... i forgot it was a leopard.... in the story..... but whatever it doesn't really affect the symbolic meaning it's just embarras #ing that i forgot >;/

You know when Yut-Lung says that “us Chinese are trained to be silent when moving” and Ash says “Shorter surely isn’t”? Yeah I decided that that’s just another of those small things Shorter does on purpose to make Ash feel more at ease. Idc what anyone says

#no one will change my mind #can you believe that my fav character of the show is there for just a tad more than one third of the only season we have?????#my man stole my heart and crushed it in just a bit more than three hours #banana fish #banana fish spoilers #??

"You're just mad your fave died."

Go watch Banana Fish.

Understand that I was the one who rec'd it to you, and that it's one of my favorite shows—not anime, shows—of all time.

Go understand that Banana Fish and Izzy Hands both had similar themes around the aftermath of abuse, and of flawed victims trying desperately to find their way to happiness.

Go understand that I was distraught at times (particularly during that mid-season scene), but I absolutely adore Banana Fish for framing every single thing about abuse with the care and attention it deserves.

Realize that this perspective on Banana Fish is quite literally incompatible with your delulu beliefs on my motivations.

Realize that sometimes, things you like are going to mess up, and learn how to sit with that discomfort, rather than lashing out at those hurt by yet another disappointment.

But firstly, go fuck yourself.

Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful this scene was.

Love it that in ep 7 Ash's plan was to literally play the bad guy and tell Eiji he's a bother so he would leave

But the second Eiji agreed with Ash about being a burden Ash immediately backtracked and went on a rant why Eiji is awesome instead

#and let's not forget Ash tried to get drunk right after this #DBSHSKAKSK #he really couldn't stand being mean to Eiji 😭😭😭😭#Ash trying to insult Eiji: he's stupid....-ly beautiful and smart and caring and-#banana fish #banana fish spoilers #ash lynx #eiji okumura #asheiji #aslan jade callenreese #ash x eiji #mimi posts

I'm glad to see other people agree with me on how unfair Ash Lynx fate was in Banana Fish because I will NEVER recover from that ending and I don't mean that in a good way to be honest.

#banana fish #banana fish spoilers #I like a good tragedy #But I don't like death for shock value and free cruelty #Genuinely appalled #If one character deserved to never have this ending it's Ash #Like #I love the show #I still do #And I def should read the Manga and its follow up #But the ending gutted me so badly it's genuinely hard for me to do so #Too bad #Because I genuinely think it's a great story besides that

I started watching Banana Fish and I just finished episode 18. The scene where Ash agrees to kill himself for Eiji, had me in tears. He was so quick to agree to it, like he didn’t even have to second guess ending his life for who he loves, even though he’s been trying to survive for so long. Imagine caring so much for someone you wouldn’t even think twice about losing your life for them, something so precious, all for another human being. Imagine someone being so important to you, you value them more than your life. I’m sorry but I’m shattered, that scene was devastating.

#banana fish spoilers #banana fish #im so late to watch this show lol #I hope they have a happy ending #di4ries774 #don’t spoil it for me #I don’t want this show to end
