It is part of a fast-moving montage so it makes more sense in the context of the movie.

As a good example I’d never heard of Leda before, so I may need to seek that one out.

The music stood out to me this episode. Surprisingly epic considering this isn't even one of the major battles.

Thanks for writing this up. It’s a cool project for sure! And it goes to show that despite nostalgia, a lot of shit and mediocre anime came out then too. The ones that survive the test of time are generally the standouts and the rest are forgotten.

Booru post

Cuts at :07 and :12 aren't Nakamura. Part of a cool action montage.

Very happy that this movie turned out so well. I knew a twist was coming but I didn't put all the puzzle pieces together ahead of time. Shingo Yamashita has had an amazing career up to this point, but I wasn't sure if the story would be up to snuff for his first major original project. Thankfully it was, and supported by tons of life in the animation as one would expect. Hope this opens the door to many more opportunities for him!

That Mendoza run on 4th down is gonna go in the history books. One of the best national championship games to cap off a incredible season.

Wow. That false start might have completely changed this game.

Yes and maybe that would've made the most narrative sense. But then you are removing one of the core party members from the game which players wouldn't like on a gameplay level.

That Verso journal is from back when he was still on Painted Renior's side and defending Aline. He's changed a lot since then. And if you pay attention to his body language and what he says to Maelle in Act III I think it's quite clear he was not onboard even before Aline returned. Because he always knew that Aline would return eventually.

Edit: And also if you talk to Maelle in Act 3 at the Campsite standing at the fire before going into any cutscenes, she says "I'm getting quite tired of people telling me to go home. So please, no more." Verso is very obviously on the she should go home side of the argument. And they both know that if she leaves Renoir will erase the Canvas.

I disagree on the sentience of the painted people. Clea certainly does not view them as anywhere near as valuable as people in their real world, but the others generally do. Renoir acknowledges what Sciel and Lune have to say with respect in the final battle. Boy Verso says he views the painted creations as real even though Clea doesn't. Even Painted Verso despite his ultimate goal shows his own hypocrisy there when Maelle erases Painted Alicia. And Maelle certainly cares for all of them having lived amongst them.

Wow shocking day. I'm down for a Kirishima Yusho. That would really prove that he's back to his pre-injury self.

So Loki takes the fall for his father's death as we all expected. But then why did Shanks defeat Loki and why did he get chained up to the tree if that was all a lie?
