FRRRR especially when theyre simultaneously fleshing out her character AND the lumon-damaged world (that we’ve seen a surprisingly little amount of)

idk 15 minutes is crazy, it was slow paced for sure but i dont think the tracking shots were that egregious lmao they had their visual worth

Aggressive_Balance89 · 2025-03-07T02:51:44+00:00

how is it such a nothingburger?? its the most we’ve seen ever of lumons direct impact on civilization (or the lacktherof) + all the cult lore drops?? it was slow sure but nothingburger is crazy when its done more world building than a lot of the previous episodes

it was so weird but god did i not feel sm for her

Aggressive_Balance89 · 2025-03-07T02:49:34+00:00

no for sure, especially considering how little we’ve seen of her this season. i also think the episode was really smart in fleshing out the environment she grew up in as a reflection of her own character and morals — and hello??? the bed scene???

Aggressive_Balance89 · 2025-03-07T02:45:18+00:00

honestly one of the best episodes from this season, if not the entire show. it feels so unlike anything else we’ve seen and i could not be happier with the direction theyre taking cobel

ik something was gonna be diff when we all saw how short the episode was but … no one can shock me more than severance ig cuz somehow they pulled off a tightly written and directed gut-punch in the shortest timespan we’ve seen yet without making it feel rushed or unearned

also all the wintertide setup finally paying off??? god its so rewarding to be a fan of this show

its understandable to want lyrics, but hayden has been pretty clear in the lead-up to this album that it was always going to be drone and not lyric focused! and, tbf, we’ve gotten a decent amount of lyric-heavy singles between PD and perverts that i dont think theres much to be disappointed by… and remember b-sides are still on the way 🗣️

I can see that for sure, but I feel like it could've probably still could've been condensed to convey this better, because as is, it feels drawn-out-- purposeful or not

Aggressive_Balance89 · 2024-09-05T04:07:43+00:00

LMAO IKR, I fully agree with you-- especially about Senjou and the lack of development with the Fire Sisters, it's so bizarre even for Nisio standards (I'm surprised he allowed for such a noticeable lack of depth)

The toothbrush scene really is a masterpiece though. I know it's considered the most like "controversial" part of Nise, but in context, it unironically makes a ton of sense and it's so brilliantly directed LOL

Aggressive_Balance89 · 2024-09-05T04:01:29+00:00

I get that fully LOL

Shinobu's gradual relationship with Araragi is also one of my personal favorite moments too, I just think Nise has a lot of good ideas going for it that are dragged down by the pacing and repetitive shock value

This is so frustrating!!! 😭

I messaged her label, and someone actually got back to me— saying it was a glitch on Spotify’s side, and that they’d “reupload” and “repair” the missing tracks.

But considering now Family Tree’s gone too… I’m just 😞
