edit: if they're ever going to continue the storyline after Rebellion, I'm not going to bother watching it if it means undoing the already perfect world that Homura has created

They're already working on another, though how that one turns out has yet to be seen. I can't even speculate because I haven't bothered watching the trailer or preview or whatever that was people were talking about awhile back. I plan on watching it at least once just to see how things turn out. Pretty much agree with you on everything else though. You managed to pretty concisely say something that far too often takes me many paragraphs to say, lol.

Edit:

edit2: I actually prefered the english dub of Rebellion to the original, I found that the overal execution of the final act of the film was delivered better in the dub.

Unlike most people I prefer dubs in general (though I really didn't mind the subbed version of Rebellion) but the dub of Rebellion was fantastic. The out of reality scene near the end where Homura's talking to Kyuubey is exceptional compared to the subbed version and comes off as legitimately creepy in my opinion. And I'm not someone who's at all easy to creep out.

This might be of relevant interest to you, it's the 1st take cut of the final act. I find that the dub version was more in vein with this version than the final film version.

Reading all of your post, It makes me really want to write a lot, but everything I'd want to write is already on the best review on this film I've read. It really is a shame that it's not in english. It highlights how deep, philosphical, psychological, beautiful, well-written and complex the show and the movie are. I'm linking it again in the case some of you would be (really) interested.

All hail PMMM !

Yuki Kajiura really is a goddess tho'

@Utopia

I finished Fate/Zero.
First eps were cool, then the ep with Rin being brave (~10) which I really liked, and then a lot of dialogue, and then EVERYTHING WENT DOWNHILL. Suffering, contempt and despair. Tragic af.
And then my friend proposed to watch some Nozaki-kun to lift the mood, after all those feels

Well if Irisviel wasn't crazy about Kiritsugu, I'd have shipped them too lmao. (Sadly, the only gay pairing that could happen in F/0 is waver x iskandaar ^.^')

I still ship them. Their interactions (Waver and Rider's too) are like, the happiest moments/most solid master/servant relationships of the entire thing.

Also, lmao, when Lancelot mentioned what happened with Guineviere, Arthur's wife, (I've read a book on the knights of the round table in elementary school, from what I remember, he had an affair with Arthur's wife), I paused, looked at my friend and was like "wait, Saber had a wife?" and he was like lol i guess?

• the culprit is obvious once you watched the second ep. But it is still an enjoyable show with a good animation, and that's not too long !

My first reaction to seeing him was the killer was wearing a suit, he's wearing a suit, I bet he's the killer. lmao

Omfg I have a big problem! I think I'm actually really into cross dressers O///A///O, I went to a cross dressing cafe in Japan yesterday and one of the...eh...maids would come up to me me and hold my hand and my heart was going doki doki so much >///-///< I think they really like foreigners cos they don't get s chance to see them that often but just.....I'm in love I think XD @//A//@

@ ChocolateCakeLover

Don't do that to me!
Your cute little remarks always made me laugh! ^^

My what? D:

@ChocolateCakeLover How many screens did you sacrifice to EU4 gods already?

As many as the comets in the sky, appearing the month after my natural scientist died.

ok, CCL is back, Galich is talking philosophy, Anon is being romantic - the cafe is back to normal! yeey xD

Not back, lurking ;_;

@Blackkitty Yup, seems like another day at the cafe to me >.>

Stained my new white shirt with chocolate today, I blame CCL.

What gave me away? D:

@Anon Do not hesitate! :P It's fine, I like people parodying me, I do that very often.

I'll let you win this time and not do a counter attack, since the last time I've tried to do something like this to a super positive person it ended... poorly.

I don't really agree on the fact that it's "just a phase" tho. - looking at most of my family, I can safely say that I'm the most positive there is. That sounds really depressing, but trust me, it's not.

Also, it's not nihilism v: I'll keep repeating existentialism, it's srs bsns.

Actually, I've screwed up royally here. Your attitude towards life fits much better to existentialism. Guess it's two sides of the same coin?

@CCL It's an omen.

Also, the fact that I refused to get myself a chocolate cake yesterday.

Inspired by Arumba's campaign, decided to play Tunis. And I swear to god, I'm never gonna play this game every again which means I'll play it in less than a day.

@Anon99 With my writing it would have as much of a happy ending as School Days. But hey, cynical would become a thing, which is more than okay in my book.

I dunno about the meds, they make me sleep for 6 hours a day twice in a row, and then I sleep for 10 hours for the next 2 days.. I mean, it evens up to 8 hours a day, right?

Kind of got addicted to energy drinks for breakfast since I cannot do early coffee, after that it's just coffee, coffee, coffee.

Also, the weather here is finally bad. I actually like it when it's raining a bit, significantly enough so you feel it but not as much as to come back home completly wet.

Also, when you read my deeper posts, make sure to read them with a Slavic accent like I have :P

Really, I tried thinking of something to say here, but I'm just so behind that I don't even anymore...

Just shoot with a new topic :) that's what I do when I stop following this thread for more than 10 minutes.

Don't worry, we're all confused here. The point is, everyone's having fun.

@ EkichoSHIFT

And still you managed to do just that: You said something ;)

Welcome to the club of sleepless and motivation-lacking peeps ^^

It's soo unfair... my troubles with sleep consist of waking up very early which results in not being able to stay very late at night... when all the fun conversations seem to take place... so unfair...

welcome EkichoSHFT :)

yeey, top of the page... *treats everyone with a sleep disorder a delicious cup of coffee^^

@Blackkitty cheers! tosses chocolate cake

Well, for me it's mostly going to sleep to late, mixing meds and stress. Well, I am fine today as I've slept for 10 hours.
How are ya doing today?

@Galich Cheers!^^ * leaving the chocolate cake to fall on the ground xD

how are you today? :)

wow, 10 hours... I wish I could sleep that much... these days I don't have enough of sleep which means regular headaches xD

*gives you hug - best remedy against stress!

@Blackkitty Thanks for the hug!

Doing pretty well today. It's raining all day, I'm stuck outside doing administrative matters, had to go under a tree to write this post. It's still fun, I like going out to people, even if it's strictly business.

Darn, just noticed that this tree is slowly surrendering to the rain...

@Anon
well.. to be honest - yes, I like it... though it took me some ridiculous amount of time to realize that/admit it to myself.."

hah, I'm never in a hurry, I have all the time of a lifetime xD

yes, you are also a queer one, indisputably^^

yeey, I'm lucky then! cleaning is so relaxing, I don't mind if it has no end.. though I like bit of a mess^^

I would love to help you^^ if it's within my abilities :)

your tastes.. are unique! xD

it goes to my watchlist, I guess

so.. I will be playing the florist in out little cafe impromptu xD

What is it that we're doing exactly? Doesn't matter, it's got to have cynical .

@Galich... I've been dreaming about rain lately... it's just some clouds in the sky, but no rain!!!...
well, you are a serious businessman then^^

good luck with your administrative stuff to do, and don't forget to enjoy a little dance under the rain^^ you are a lucky one!

@Galich so it would be a cynical porn with floral elements and an old school music background? xD I don't know either... have to ask the master mind... Onee-sama, where are you? xD

@Blackkitty thanks! looks like administration gods are with me together, so I'm almost done in this department.

I'll be sure to! Well, too bad I don't have an umbrella >.>

@Blackkitty yet again well, isn't porn supposed to be cynical by definition?

@Galich soo, you are unbelivably lucky! It would be far more difficult to dance holding an umbrella!

@Galich I don't know.. I've never been into porn to begin with.

@Blackkitty well, aren't I lucky today^^

Looks like we'll have to ask someone else then shouts asking that question loudly

Well, managed to get away to my mother's office, good ol' coffee maker is still here alive and kicking.
