i was so expecting for this to play out like the film ‘when evil lurks’… like once that old guy started talking crazy and opened up the gates, i’m like… “you’re done….you’re done” hfhfjfjkgm also the mangaka (and the whole team behind this) did such a great job. like, i might buy a copy of this if they have an official eng translation out.
also like everyone else has commented, the aliens motives for bioengineering humans (and our evolution) made sense. it was just too easy for it to all have been done out of a simple desire to co-habitate… or for it to have stemmed from altruism… also makes me wonder why everyone involved in up keeping the cradle never formed a coup d’ètat of their own? the director knew of the origins of the climate crisis (that is—that the alien were behind it) so it must’ve been common knowledge to others in power in his level… were the human livestock mills just a way for them to stick their heads in the sand—instead of coming up with a way to kill the aliens??? also also, what abt the climate crisis? how did they get the ships to stop cooking the sea up and shit like
girl dad kirino walking around like a soulless husks reminds me of the last scene in maurice where clive starts shutting all the windows, realizing he’ll die living a lie
it’s a period film (set around late 1800s thru early 1900s). maurice (the protagonist?) becomes involved with another man, clive, at college. maurice becomes engrossed with clive, but due to the trauma of the incarceration of a friend of theirs for sodomy, they never consummate anything. clive decides to get married, and tries to keep maurice around as a friend—“for old times sake”. maurice ruminates on their relationship during the film, tries to get conversion therapy, but is later seduced by maurice’s male servant, alec. it’s a great film, i thoroughly recommend
feeling like your youth is the only thing you have to offer sucks. sometimes i wonder what i’ll do once i start going thru twink death… i can imagine how fuji feels :p also fuji needed to seriously threaten to report him…. he goes for actual boys (12-15), and he’ll only continue to since nobody will make him stop
did casca cry at the hill of swords because she got to see griffith again or cuz she was confused at how she could sense this was her “child” but it visibly isn’t itself anymore? like confused as to why it’s assumed griffith’s form/somehow knows and is upset its been overwritten/stripped of personhood in a sense?
+ what was up with the dude that wished himself into an egg/behelit looking thing? how was griffith able to reincarnate inside him???? is it all just apart of griffith’s wish
