Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works #011 – The Silly Faces of Taiga Fujimura

2 Comments

hisui_icon_4040 It was an inevitability. I have only recently become aware of it but someone finally made a “The Faces of Rin Tohsaka” Tumblr. She is just giving the audience far too much gold this season. This episode alone should keep the Rin fans busy until the next season comes along. And the next episode is an hour-long but since it will mostly be fighting they had to knock out as many silly Rin faces as they could.

I do have to wonder what sort of Tumblr would have formed around Sakura had Heaven’s Feel been made into a TV series as opposed to a movie. “The Infinite Sadness of Sakura” Tumblr? Maybe even something even worse considering the less than egalitarian feelings focused on her? Maybe it is for the best that Heaven’s Feel will only be theatrical.

Gundam Reconguista in G: We Are With Hell

3 Comments

hisui_icon_4040 Has anyone else noticed some extra in the subtext in the ending of Gundam Reconguista in G? They probably have but I have not seen a lot of discussion about it so I felt it was worth bringing it up. I was discussing the song with Carl Li from Ogiue Maniax and he mentioned that it was probably partially just written to have a song with the name of the show in the lyrics. He is almost certainly correct with that assessment. Tomino really does love to throw the name of the show into the opening and closing. But that is not all that is going on here.
