MOR p2 liveblog style thoughts
TDLR: Parts that were in the manga..... imo manga did it better. But new stuff & funeral omake manga and CRY short story adaption was niceeeeeeeeee
Nice random colorless king intro tho why the heck was slate kid there....
;-; homra alphaboys hanging out together was cute (awww *ruffles ericās hair*)
Anna was happy and cute too. though.... the full body shot was so.... dramatic looking... why...
Totsuka winked ;-; it was a bit weird but still aww ;-; wink
#theĀ āactually a prepared a huge cakeā wasnt dramatic enough /bricked
like consta said: THE COAT IS GETTING THE SCREENTIME IT DESERVES. But also wow ppl werenāt kidding about them dragging on the part where he leaves the bar. So. Many. Shots. So. Dramatic. So. Slow. *dramatically puts on arm in coat* *cuts to ppl* *dramatically fixes collar* *cuts to ppl* *turns around* *cuts to people*
DRAMATIC FULL BODY SHOT!!!!!!!
DRAMATICALLY TURNS AROUND
The nod was cute....................... *hides*
ONE LAST FULL BODY SHOT FOR DRAMATICNESS CAUSE WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
Which then cuts directly to Anime Season 1 video camera footage. I for one was esp disappointed here bc the few panels of totsuka being excited to see someone on the rooftop was cute and got ignored :( *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumbles mumbles*
The dramatic cut from video to actual BANG was A++++
nice to see a bit of what happened after the camera was cut
Next part, Pinkās (apparently deadpan) commentary was something along the lines of āAt this point in time, Totsuka was really planning to go back to where everyone was. But when he kept trying and failed, thatās when he realised ah, heās going to die.ā
Other commentary, the mountain road, thatās symbolically named the ~ road to heaven ~ and is also meant to parallel that time he crashed into mikoto on his bike
Also in the movie you can clearly tell the āno matter which i do, both will be troublesomeā part refers to Totsuka trying to decide whether to call King or Kusanagi-san.
LONG RINGING SOUNG WHEN THE AUDIENCE SITS ON THE EDGE OF THEIR SEATING SCREAMINGĀ āHURRY AND PICK UP THE PHONEEEEEEEā
>.> *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumbles mumbles* its like totsuka threw the phone away.jpgĀ
SIDE RED AMUSEMENT PARK PIC WAS SO CUTE OMG. I DIDNāT START TEARING UP THIS WHOLE MOVIE UNTIL I SAW TINY ANNA HOLDING ONTO YATA AND TOTSUKA ;-; ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Kajiās voice sayingĀ āI was happyā A+++++
Kusanagiās:Ā āYOU IDIOTā - again im disappointed it didnt cut to him like in the manga.... *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumbles mumbles* also whats with totsuka cough, that giant cough looked more comical than painful D:
Kajiās voice sayingĀ āKing... I wonder if heāll be angryā A++++++
Kusanagi:Ā āWait for bitā, Totsuka:Ā āYeah Iāll waitā *DRAMATICALLY REACHES OUT HAND INTO THE SKY. THE SKY IS BEAUTIFUL
I also appreciate the whole āThe butterfly symbolises totsukaās soul leaving himā thing .... BUT HEāS NOT DEAD YET!!!!!! OI!!!!!!!! SOULLL COME BACK!!!!!!
<PSA: THIS IS WHERE TOTSUKAāS SHORT STORY GOES>
Dream sequence with totsuka was.... kinda random......... *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumble mumble*
Anna crying was.............. overly dramatic and actually felt kinda fanservicey... did not appreciate that tbh.... *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumbles mumbles*
;-; Homura in the bar.... I like the way they did the Angry VS Crying thing. Especially that transition between Eric and Fujishima.
<PSA: THIS IS WHERE KAMAMOTOāS SHORT STORY GOES>
S4 scene.... honestly the objective message from Kusanagi to Seri was very D: *glances at kusanagi short story* *feels sad*
Itās nice to see Hisui and Iwa show up. They used the movie as a season 1 hook pretty well tbh. The whole beginning and end theme.
Also Neko..... and this time... ANOTHER KING SPEC OF LIGHT!!!!!! lol
WHY DID THEY COVER TOTSUKA WITH A CLOTH *mumbles mumbles the manga did it better mumbles mumbles*
<PSA: THIS IS WHERE ANNAāS SHORT STORY GOES-ISH MAYBE>
Wouldāve been cool if we had the wholeĀ ācircle of friends + embarassed totsuka and yataā flashback in the movie like the manga did... but i guess itād ruin the serious gloomy mood :ā)
Funeral scene yoooooooo. The beach was pretttttty. Open casket!!!! A proper casket!!!! (lbr, the manga one looked like a cardboard box :āD)
Friendly reminder that the rose that Anna gave to Totsuka is the same rose Totsuka gave to Mikoto to give to Anna.jpg :))) Also. Annaās face ;-;
THE BURNING SCENE + THE āKISSā SCENE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honestly they adapted theĀ āeverything quickly burnt into nothingā perfectly. Also have heard so much about theĀ ākissā scene from spoilers and it did not fail to deliver!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously the beach and sky is so pretty ;-;
<PSA: THIS IS WHERE KUSANAGIāS SHORT STORY GOES>
MikoIzu convo ;-; ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Also Iām having extra feels due to new years short story and the fact theyāre watching the (i assume) sunrise ;_________________;
RB flashback which Iām still mad about. *hisses*
āTotsuka lived as he liked with no regrets. Iām going to do that tooā :(
SEASON 1 ANIME HOOK!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously they led this movie into season 1 so well. Make sure all new K ppl watch the anime before CV.jpg
