"Get Away From Me."

"Get away from me."

Lunarre cackled hideously as he inspected the agitated seraph. Mikleo was not his main dish, no, not by a long shot. He was strong, however, and such a morsel could not be overlooked. Feeling his mouth water, Lunarre licked his lips.

“’fraid I can’t oblige,” he said, creeping closer. “As my old man always said: ‘a man’s gotta eat if he wants to live’.” 

“And I’ve gotta eat.”

for every “ღ” i get, i will mention someone’s muse i ship/would like to ship my muse with!

“A certain lady comes to mind…”

[[ I’ll be honest with you guys, after watching the anime my brain can’t stop shipping Alisha and Lunarre together. 

My belief is that - realistically - unless Lunarre doesn’t tone it down one hell of a lot and get purified it can only hope to be a one-sided affair on Lunarre’s part. A secret admirer who the anime tried to show as being slowly inspired by Alisha’s sheer dedication and determination and, of course, her purity. Lunarre’s not a fool, he knows deep down he’s fucked up and as cool as his powers are it hasn’t done a thing to fix the problems that had been gnawing at him before. Hell, it’s making them worse. But when he’s around the princess…

OK I’ll stop there before I go into essay mode XP Basically, I think Alisha would be the perfect role model and mentor to Lunarre. She could teach him/guide the way for him to be a better man and find peace with himself (as he did in Episode 22 of the anime. Why he didn’t immediately turn back into his human self is anyone’s guess…) which could very well lead to some romance blossoming between them… OK I PROMISE I’LL STOP NOW. ]]

The more I think about how few and far between Lunarre and general villain appearances were, the more I think the Zestiria game could have benefited enormously from a few extra cutscenes showing them, not just what the main cast saw or experienced. Behind the scenes stuff. The anime tried to do this at first at least (e.g: with Bartlow in S1) but then fell down the same path and by S2 seemed to forget the villains even existed. This especially hurt things plot and character wise because they clearly wanted Lunarre to get his redemption and Symonne to be sympathetic in a similar way. Problem is we never got to really know them at all or see how they got from point A to point B, so caring about them beyond their aesthetic designs and entertaining personalities (Lunarre) was very difficult if not impossible. Part of me wonders if this was at least partly due to straying from the game in that Lunarre held a vendetta towards Rose, and switching focus to Alisha but never caring about Lunarre's side of things - to the point where his presence became increasing nonsensical. It all seemed very rushed and stitched together. That's my take on things anyway.

What makes Sorey and Mikleo’s dumb ‘What did you say?’ to Lunarre’s very obvious stated desire to eat them (too) tolerable is Lunarre’s dub response:

“Did I stutter?”

God if they’d have put a ‘fucking’ in there it would have been awesome, but it’s perfect as it is I think XD

Long time.
