In another chapter, it shows Ai doing the same head movements, a parallel. I guess the similarities aren’t going to get animated… huuuhuu </3

The only thing that is close to it is this part, but it’s just Kaiman holding his head and right after it gets cut to when Nikaido and Natsuki found him

Anyways here's a risukawa ms painting, best pair <33

I think this is one of my favorites oat! The small details like the crinkle of Sanko’s nose of the mask and the stippling shading… so amazing

>ᵥ_ᵥ<

I’m so surprised that they won!! I was really expecting Nikaido and Kaiman or Shin and Noi since they’re the most popular pairs of the series, but I am NOTT complaining one bit!!!

Such great news I could cryy uuuuuu _(:3 」∠)_

Even in some interviews w/ Q Hayashida she keeps a lot of answers vague, like when an interviewer questioned her if Haze and Haru had sex in that one suggestive scene of them sleeping naked together, and Q answered like "yeah it does look like they did it huh" and just left it at that. (I found the interview!! It’s in the Dorohedoro Bon special ^^)

Another example of something that is up to interpretation is the Blue Nights, I've seen a lot of people interpret it like a "marriage", and other's interpret it differently than that. But we won't really ever know what type of significance it is in their world since it's never completely explained. All we know is that it happens every 4 years and it binds a pair of sorcerers with a contract.

But it is really amazing how people fill in those missing/unexplained blanks with their own interpretations and such, from art, fics, posts, etc!! o(≧▽≦)o

S2 ended a month or so ago and they're barely beginning production for S3, unlike the other trailers and videos that Mappa has put out of their other series that have had more time for production (but also the favoritism is so obvious lol)

It's cool how we get to see the story boards though!! Reminds me of the teaser pic they put out back in 2025 for S2

And we get to see a glimpse of devil training Nikaido! She looks so gorgeous, the artist behind the storyboards must love her lots to make her so pretty <33

We also get a glimpse of the fight in Tamba's shop w/ Kai and his face getting partially cut in half by Kirion, I'm so excited to see it animated and drawn in detail

And Saji pie of course, made me giggle when I saw it, but it must be confusing as hell for anime only people I imagine

I'm so excited to see S3 and it's such a miracle that we're even getting it animated!! I wish we could've gotten more and that it would’ve been more of a teaser than a few storyboard panels, but I should be greatful that Mappa is even continuing the project </3

Now it's making me wonder where S3 will end, and if it will start with the tease of Aikawa's suicide like in the manga or not, especially since it’s unpredictable what scenes they keep or remove and since S2 had 11ep instead of the usual 12. Will the next season have more or less episodes? Where will it leave off at?? I wish I knew (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Especially the bathtub scene… so weirdly intimate and the first few panels can be taken out of context loll

But also, his model looks a lot more different that I though it would be, at least compared to manga Curse Σ(•’╻’• ۶)۶

In the manga it looked more so like he was enveloped in black smoke and flies/bugs, and we can see the whisps of smoke all around his body. The smoke is very fluid and wispy, and it doesn't have a set form or shape

In the anime though, it looks more like he’s wearing a literal black cloak with ripped/ragged ends, and the fumes of the smoke/flies seem to mostly come out of the top of his body like his arms and shoulders. Looks like he's wearing some sort of dress hehe, and it reminds me a lot of the types of cloaks that the DaiDark main 4 wear (besides Avakian)

I feel like his cloak/dress is especially evident here, showing his legs peeking out from under the skirt veil

Along with seeing him animated, we also get to see the differences from how he looked like in S1 vs S2!! Although we only get to see him for 2 frames in the first season lol

In S1 he looks more accurate to the guidebook Curse like most of the models in the anime, having sort of thicker thighs for some reason (not complaining hehe), but he also has what looks like maybe a second pair of arms? It interests me a lot as to what Mappa was aiming for, maybe they wanted to give Curse another set of arms just for show? Or maybe it's something else completely different? Hmm, not sure...

The difference of the close-ups of the eyes is really interesting too, like the clear difference of the shape of the mask and their eye shapes/color. So cool to see!! <33
