So Ok.I Have Followed This List But Actually I Never Wver Have Done This.

So ok….I have followed this list but actually I never wver have done this.

So here are my first list and maybe in some years I can recreated it.

5 favorite characters:

So mmmh ok this pretty hard to choose……but I need to decide so I take Shapur, Isfan, Arslan, Kubard and Gieve

Or Jaswant? Or Daryun? Help 😂

3 OTPs: yeah pretty difficult aswell but my favorite OTP is Kubard and Shapur. The second is definitely Isfan and Gieve and the third…….yeah maybe Jimsa and Zaravant? The two are so funny together and the dynamic between them….I don’t know I like the two of them. Don’t judge me xD

Funniest characters: Yeah definitely Kubard but Narsus is short behind him. (Glorious painter of Pars *cough* *cough*)

Prettiest character: Irina definitely

Most Badass Character: Same as @tired-reader-writer Kubard and Daryun. Never change a winning team and don’t mess with this two.

Character I’d like as my BFF: Kubard and Daryun. Because Kubard would totally be up for shenanigans and Daryun is the typ of friend who knows that we would be up to no good and would cover for us.

Only when we would steal Narsus art from the walls. Daryun would be the first to grab a picture and running for his dear life.

Character that’s runied my life:

???? Really????? I mean…..guys come on isn’t that totally oblivious? I mean come on…..

Of course it is Shapur…..and no more comment to this one here. 😶

I definitely thinks that the list is to short because I have so many characters in this manga that I really like. But yeah…maybe when we had more points on that list this would never end.

So I came across a post from my previous (now deactivated) blog and I wanted to redo the thing again on this account. I think quite a lot of my answers have changed (why'd I list Gieve among my faves? I don't remember him being a fave before)

5 favourite characters: it's hard picking only five but after much consideration... I have chosen Arslan, Shapur, Isfan, Jaswant, Merlaine (honorable mention goes to Saam, Farangis, and Lushan)

3 OTPs: Hilmes/Zandeh, Zandeh/Gurgin (thanks @innerchorus) and... Merlaine/Arslan. I am the only one on this wooden plank floating aimlessly in a shoreless sea but I refuse to give this up.

Funniest character: Kubard.

Prettiest character: it's either Narsus or Jaswant (such pretty eyes!)

Most badass character: either Daryun or Kubard, looks like my answer is still the same

Character I’d like as my BFF: man this is hard to choose. But I think I'll choose Arslan again just as I have the previous round.

Character that’s ruined my life: SHAPUR. HE'S RUINED MY LIFE BEYOND REPAIR.

@marchdancer have you done this list?

Thank you for sharing this……

But……..guys this can’t be the end? Are they serious? This is a big big big big cliffhanger. I mean come on…..reading this feels like that there is more. This can’t be the end….or is it the end? Feels like something is missing in the story.

Psycho-Pass Providence Review (with major spoilers!!! Don’t read if you don’t want spoilers!!)

As promised, I went to see Psycho-Pass Providence at Nijo Toho Cinemas in Kyoto. They had a little merch at the theater. They also gave everyone a booklet with artwork that I’ll include at the end of this review. If you want to wait until you can see the movie, please stop reading now because I will be basically telling everything that happened, good and bad. I was glad to see more people coming to watch the movie because when I bought the tickets most seats were available! We are a small fandom, but we are loyal! Now, please understand I don’t know any Japanese, so a lot of the information here is things that happened, but I can’t tell you much about the dialogue. I’m dying for someone to translate it once the movie becomes available everywhere.

Spoilers below:

The movie starts in a ship off the coast of Kanagawa, Japan, that is being attacked by the infamous peace breakers led by Akira Ignatov, Kei’s strange brother. The men in the ship are SAD agents that are getting murdered left and right. What do the peacebreakers want? Get something from a woman named Stronoyka who is currently traveling in the ship. From the synopsis we know this woman holds a dossier that details how to destroy Sibyl (or something of the sort, can’t quite remember). Kogami is the first on the scene in a suit reminiscent of a flying squirrel, but unfortunately, he’s too late. He looks hot as hell though when he jumps in the water.

The intro with a song by Ling Tosite Sigure had me excited to be watching a Psycho-Pass movie in a movie theater and surrounded by Japanese fans of the movie. It was sweet!

To skip ahead, SAD and the MWPSB have to work together. Akane, Kogami, Ginoza, Sugo, Saiga and Frederica travel to Dejima to investigate, I think. Let’s get to the meat of what the fandom wants to know.

Kogami and Ginoza Reunited

Akane is talking to Frederica and as they’re walking towards Division 1 office, they find Ginoza grabbing Kogami by the collar and yelling at him while Sugo is trying to separate them. What was Ginoza saying? No idea, but he was probably getting back at Kogami for leaving or coming back, etc.

At some point, however, Kogami and Ginoza fight together against their enemies. There seems to be some will for reconciliation.

Akane and Kogami Reunited

Akane walks in the room with Frederica when Gino is yelling at Kogami. Ko says “Kanishkan” at some point, so I think he’s addressing Akane, but her reaction is…should I say, enigmatic? Indifferent? Maybe she’s controlling herself?

SAD and the aforementioned team travel together to Dejima, and Akane and Kogami barely talk on the way. Once there, Saiga and Kogami talk and at some point they mention Akane. Later Akane calls Kogami while he’s in his room. They both sound like they disagree about something or like something is awkward between them and Akane hangs up on him, surprising him.

The thing about this movie is that they gave Akane the cutest outfits. Especially one in a very crucial moment. I’m so glad they made her look so cute and beautiful in the movie.

At some point the infamous peacebreakers begin their attack, and in the famous explosion scene, Frederica, Saiga, Kogami and Akane are walking down a hallway when an explosion goes off. Kogami doesn’t even think once about protecting Saiga or Frederica, he straight up runs to Akane and they fall to the ground. There are some lines of dialogue here while he’s laying on top of her. This is the part when Akane gets her bruised cheek.

In another scene, after Akira basically gives himself up, Kogami is interrogating him and then another guy shows up and shoots at them. Kogami gets shot and he ends up in the hospital. Akane visits him and when he makes to start smoking, she takes the cigarette off his mouth. There’s a moment here where it seems like he’s teasing her, because he sits up on his bed and kinda leans towards her. Very cute moment between them.

Saiga

Saiga and Kogami have a long talk about many things (I assume, remember, I don’t know any Japanese) but at some point they mention Akane.

A very sad, traumatic moment for Akane. They get attacked by a specially unkillable peacebreaker and Saiga ends up being held hostage by the guy. In the last moment, what we feared happens. Saiga’s last words are for Akane. Our poor girl suffers a lot and Kogami is there to console her and help her push through. They look so good together!

Akira, Kei, Maiko, Arata and Arata’s Dad

Honestly, most of the plot escapes me. Akira at some point even fights himself. He seems to be controlled by an old man who appears to be creating his own version of Sibyl. Akane is actually invited to Kei and Maiko’s wedding and on the same night Arata’s dad, with whom she seemed to have a very good relationship (there’s a lot of dialogue between Arata’s dad and Akane), killls himself while holding a photo of his family.

Craziness Ensues

Akane agrees to meet the mastermind behind all these terror attacks while a tactical team formed by Frederica, Gino, Kogami and Sugo fighting lasers from the air attack the headquarters of the peacebreakers. Here we see for the first time the two old dudes that become obsessed with Kogami in Season 3.

While everyone is fighting and there are explosions and shooting everywhere, Akane has a dialogue with the mastermind. At some point she draws her dominator but his crime coefficient is around 40. The whole place begins to collapse and by then, the mastermind has shot Akane on the leg and has her cuffed. They discuss and debate when he shoots her again (that asshole!). By the time Kogami shows up to rescue her, the other man is pointing his gut right at Akane’s forehead while they debate. At some point Akane says something that irks the guy and he pistol whips her a little bit. Kogami shoots him and gets her out of there.

The craziest plot twist

They show Akane dressed in a ceremonial uniform (and she looks so beautiful!) while Kogami is confined to an isolation facility. He begins reading a letter she wrote to him. They show her at a ceremony where it seems she will be recognized for her achievements. It is here when Akane shoots Chief Kasei in front of everyone.

They show Mika running to arrest Akane for her crime and she yells at Akane with frustration for what she did. Akane offers no resistance. As Kogami is reading the letter he looks angry, frustrated and sad for what Akane did. Why did she do it? We will have to wait until someone translates the movie.

Akane’s face is plastered all over the news as the inspector who went crazy and killed her boss. They show a parallel of Kogami walking out of the isolation facility while Akane is walking in. They don’t cross paths, but once Akane is alone she completely breaks down sobbing uncontrollably. It was so sad to see her suffer like that! Then they show Kogami walking free on the street and he says something and then the movie ends. Did Akane go to jail because of Kogami?

I’ll write more thoughts tomorrow! Overall it was well made. Lots of CGI and explosions almost made me think at times that I was watching a Transformers movie.

This means trouble and make it double 😂

They dynamic between the Gieve and Farangis is really the best

Gieve’s been waiting for this.

Ok this could be possible canon

I can imagen this scenario perfectly and Gieve would totally do it. 😂

what if arslan senki is just gieve telling the story of arslan's ascention at the coronation after party, except as night goes on he gets drunker and drunker and the story gets weirder and weirder (the flying monkeys made everyone look at each other like wtf???), and every time someone tries to stop him from drinking, he kills them in-story? even arslan after he tried to, very nicely, take his lute out of his hands xD

LOL that would have been amazing (AND a much better ending than the original :’) ) I approve of this. XD

Y'all ever wonder what Hilmes would look like with his hair down (aka not slicked back)?

Because I sure as hell do and am wondering right now.

I’m scared
