"What are you talking about?"
"Dragnipur needs to feed. Look around us, mortal. There are those who, at long last, fail in pulling this burden. They are carried to the wagon, then, and tossed onto it - you think this is preferable? Too weak to move, they are soon buried by those like them. Buried, trapped for eternity. And the more the wagon bears, the greater its weight - the more difficult the burden for those of us still able to heave on these chains. Do you understand? Dragnipur needs to feed. We require... fresh legs. Tell Rake - he must draw the sword. He must take souls. Powerful ones, preferably. And he must do so soon-"
"What will happen if the wagon stops, Draconus?"
The man who forged his own prison was silent for a long time. "Project your vision, mortal, onto our trail. See for yourself, what pursues us."

some study about how to DRAW dragnipur
I assume the armor on his back can provide a certain angle for him to grab the sword with right hand perhaps?

Finally in a more stable state of mind and starting Memories of Ice
Prologue notes and thoughts
Deadhouse Gates still, and probably forever will hold the crown for most amazing prologue, but this was an interesting start.
Those poor Jaghut babies.
Veryyyy interesting to learn how Tool became clanless! Also so glad we get to see K'rul
Mentions of the ice used by the Jaghuts in DG immediately made me think of the title Memories of Ice so I guessed we might see more of the Imass and Jaghut conflict and the real First Empire
The ash covered dome makes me think of something Kalam saw in the Imperial Warren in DG
Also I definitely think the third Elder god is Nightchill from GotM. She plays at being a mortal sorceress, is cursed to be torn apart by non-mortal or non-human hands and is told to find a loyal companion. Plus her predicting her death would come as the result of betrayal. All things that happened to Nightchill.
Initially I thought Kallor might be Hood. But checking the GotM Dramatis Personae, there's someone in Caladan Brood's host named Kallor but I never imagined that Kallor as human so idk
The bringing down of the god reminds me of Heboric forcing Fener onto the mortal plain in DG so I'm wondering if otataral was used in that ceremony and if that green jade is an otataral prototype or something
Also I think Draconus is talking about Dragnipur which is very interesting

ROUND 1 MATCH 6: Clare vs Anomander Rake
"The Fastest Sword Of All Claymores"... vs the hundreds-of-thousands-of-years-old wielder of a sword that devours souls!
Tumblr media
VS
Tumblr media
Summaries under the cut:
Clare is a super-strong and super-fast warrior with advanced combat training, known as a Claymore. Out of all the Claymores she is the only one to have chosen to become one. The Claymores spend their lives fighting man-eating monsters and are part-monster themselves. Her superstrength allows her to wield her heavy claymore sword single-handed.
Anomander Rake is the leader of the Tiste Andii, powerful unaging beings known as the Children of Darkness. Rake is 7ft tall and his black sword Dragnipur is 6ft long with a dragon's skull pommel. He is both a master swordsman and master of dark magic. He once visited the island of the Seguleh, warriors who view eye contact as a challenge to a duel (though he was unaware of this): he ended up fighting several duels with the various warriors who challenged him and accidentally rose to the rank of seventh greatest fighter in their society. The only reason he hasn't become a god is that he hates being worshipped and frequently has to discourage people from doing so. His sword emits chains made of smoke when unsheathed, and even when sheathed creates a sense of terror in those who look upon it; the souls of everyone killed by the sword are imprisoned inside it. Rake can also turn into a black dragon.

Is there any new stuff planned for the cowboy bebop series
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Original anime series director Shinichirō Watanabe is a consultant on the series, and original composer Yoko Kanno returns to score the live-action adaptation.Ĭowboy Bebop is executive produced by André Nemec, Jeff Pinkner, Josh Appelbaum and Scott Rosenberg of Midnight Radio, Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements of Tomorrow Studios, Makoto Asanuma, Shin Sasaki and Masayuki Ozaki of Sunrise Inc., Tim Coddington, Tetsu Fujimura, Michael Katleman, Matthew Weinberg, and Christopher Yost. Production on Cowboy Bebop wrapped in March. So far, we’ve seen Kendall (Jeremy Strong) and Logan (Brian Cox) take their side and pick their players. The highly-anticipated live action adaptation has experienced delays over the course of production due to Cho’s on-set injury, which put the show out for seven to nine months. We have a lot of stuff planned for it that I cant even talk about right now, but its the most excited Ive been by podcasting. We’re entering Week 6 of Succession, and the drama is still coming. It’s been confirmed that Netflix’s Cowboy Bebop Season 2 TV show is already in the works and the first season of the live-action Cowboy Bebop remake has not even finished filming. Cowboy Bebop also features Geoff Stults, Tamara Tunie, Mason Alexander Park, Rachel House, Ann Truong and Hoa Xuande. a stellar job bringing this Blu-ray set to North America, and while it is THE. Netflix’s images also reveal the Bebop in its mechanical glory, Ein the experiment-turned-pet Corgi and a key scene between Spike and nemesis Vicious, who will be played by Alex Hassell. : Cowboy Bebop - The Complete Series : David Lucas, Wendee Lee. The only member of the original Bebop gang missing from the series so far is hacker protégé Edward, a.k.a.

It may be a kickass song, but you need a LOT of good songs to make it a good soundtrack).Dave Chappelle Met With Mixed Reactions From Students At Alma Mater On April 3, 1998, Cowboy Bebop premiered for the first time on Japanese TV and instantly changed the anime game forever. I dont like ecchi in general, not because I watch stuff with my brother haha.

All in the, sort of, bow related but some new gadgets he has in addition to the bow.' He went on to assure that Hawkeye is 'totally there' and 'a part of the world' That still doesnt tell us if hes actually going to appear in Infinity War or not. Were developing a lot of interesting stuff for him. My question is- could it be the best Soundtrack ever, beyond any game, movie, or special piece you've heard? And if not, what do you think is?(remember- one song can't make a good soundtrack. I can guarantee in the 2nd season of Soma, theres only one super mild 'ecchi' stuff in it since the judges of the competitions are now old men. 'Hawkeye is getting a lot of cool new stuff. Some of the greatest are the opening theme- "Tank!", the Final Theme, "See You Space Cowboy(a dramatic rendition of The Real Folk Blues, with different lyrics but same melody and feel), "Blue", the final episode's ending theme, and countless more songs I've enjoyed, from tons of different styles.Īnd now, as I rediscovered the soundtrack to the movie to Cowboy Bebop, I am once again reminded of the elegance, and power, by the song "Gotta Knock a Little Harder"(right through the door). LOL I feel like shit is about to go off the rails, but I’m enjoying the ride into the unknown. This series is, as the kids say, wildin’. Many of the songs from it are on my perma-playlist, and I have on tons of my CDs- and have only burned 2 that don't contain it. Episode 8’s got this show feeling like a straight comedy with the trio running over Jet’s plan. But, Bast holds power and cunning of unknown strength and ability. My favorite song holder place has long been held by "The Real Folk Blues", the standard ending theme to Cowboy Bebop. Wielding Dragnipur, the night-bladed sword, millenia of fighting experience, and the ability to turn into a dragon Anomander presents a daunting challange to Bast (cause he can turn into a freaking dragon).

Random Lore Fragment of the Day no. 17 (RLFOTD #17)
The Tiste Andii were a non-human Elder Race. They were the Children of Darkness. The first of Mother Dark's children, they were her dearest, the dwellers of the land before light. They were sometimes referred to as the Souls of Starless Night. The Tiste Andii were immortal, and their actions could be difficult for mortals to comprehend. The leader and Archmage of the Tiste Andii was Anomander Rake, who ruled by strength of personality.
Before the coming of light, the Tiste Andii lived alone in Kurald Galain. The city of Kharkanas was their first city. The Tiste Andii worshipped Mother Dark. After Mother Dark turned away, the Tiste Andii fell into turmoil, leaving Kharkanas and wandering from place to place, following Anomander Rake as their Lord.

One more.
And, yes, he knew who was now among them.
Should he laugh? Should he seek him out, mock him? Should he close hands about his throat so that they could lock one to the other until the descent of oblivion?
No, he would do none of this.
Who asks for my forgiveness?
Had he the strength, he would have cried out.
Anomander Rake, you need not ask. That begging, alas, must come from me.
This was Mother Dark I snared here. Your mother -
And so, what will you now do?
A heartbeat later, a faint gasp escaped Draconus, and he lifted his head, opened his eyes once more. ‘Rake?’ he whispered.
Draconus slowly rose. And turned. To face the wagon.
To witness.

Why the hell did Paran free these Hounds from Dragnipur? Like he mentioned himself, he literally could've saved anyone else, someone who deserved being freed. I mean, either he's crazy, or he secretly thinks House Shadow is cool (then he'd be crazy as well actually)

Ditch was dreaming, for dreaming was his last road to freedom.
He could stride, reaching out to the sides, reshaping everything. He could make the world as he wanted it, as it should be, a place of justice, a place where he could be a god and look upon humanity as it truly was: a mob of unruly, faintly ridiculous children. Watch them grasp things when they think no one's looking. Watch them break things, hurt things, steal. Listen to their expostulations of innocence, their breathless list of excuses, listen to how they repent and repent and repent and then go and do the same damned things all over again. Children.
