[This discussion is only up to season 3. I haven't read the manga after that point so please don't spoil it or talk about it]

Idk if this is talked about that much but On one of my re-watchs i noticed a theme of "Found Family" In the anime. As we all know, March is like Fushi's mother, Gugu is like his brother, Pioran and the booze man are his adoptive parents. Fushi also is like a parental figure to Ekko, just like March was to him. All of these people have no blood relationship with each other but they love each other. In season 2, Bon and Iris adopt Chabo who is not related to them.

Even in season 3, you could say Fushi and the others are adopted by Yuki's grandfather but that might be a stretch. We know that Sumika (Satoru's older sister-like girl) had a sister called Michi who died when she was born so Nono took her place as a nokker. This subplot was kinda rushed but Sumika still accepts her even though technically it's not her real sister. Ōima also shows Hirotoshi and Mimori's relationship and how much he grows to love Mimori as a brother although they're not related by blood. As much as how messy his character is, he cares for her more than her mother. Talking about her mother, I wanna bring a similar thing here.

Yoshitoki Ōima has also shown a contrast here between real family and found family. Starting off with March's parents this might be a stretch on the theme but i would say they're not really that good parents because they let their daughter be sacrificed for the sake of a ritual. They were powerless and didn't oppose it. This happens sometimes when parents prioritise their religion or tradition than their chilren. We can also agree that Hayase is a bad parent because she cursed her descendants with wanting to mate with Fushi. I doubt she even loved any of her kids and moving forward her bloodline, that love for the family decreased.

Mizuha's mother is the only one who cared about her and wanted to be against the purpose of the bloodline but she wasn't a perfect mother either, wanting Mizuha to be perfect. She's the only parent so far who actually improved. Gugu's biological brother, Shin betrayed him but came back to redeem himself aswell. Tonari's father kill his wife which affected Tonari a lot and Mimori's mother is heartless and doesn't care about her.

There isn't a direct contrast so it's not like all blood related family members are bad, Bon is a good example of having a loving family, so is Yuki who is loved by his family.

I feel this all is intentional and not just a coincidence but this is just my interpretation of the show. Y'all can let me know what y'all think and if there's any flaws. I don't know what happens after season 3 so i have no idea if this theme continues forwards. If you have completed the ending and if I'm correct you don't need to tell me or even if I'm wrong cuz I don't want to get spoiled. This is just a surface level observation that I've done so somethings might look like a stretch.

So all in all, the message I think Ōima is giving us is that you don't need to be related by blood to consider each other a family. Family bonding is independent of blood relation which I have noticed to be shown in all 3 seasons

You know, the immature and young protagonist with supernatural powers. The one who was born for the purpose of maintaining balance and stopping evil forces. They both are orphans and learn from the people around them, influencing their journey. They have lived through different eras of time also. Both of them also know how to manipulate fire btw. The only difference is that Fushi chose violence and Aang tried to avoid it as much as he could

I know their story is pretty similar to a lot of fantasy stories but it's a decent comparison I'd say. Just for fun

It's my second favourite anime poster behind the To Your Eternity s1 poster. It's up there with the EoE poster, Kizumonogatari poster and whatever other anime poster anybody wants to bring up.

It's not really that deep but I love the overall composition of this poster. It's beautiful and thought provoking. I feel inspired by it, it's really well made

It's called To Your Eternity and it's basically the journey of this ball

Daytona is a classic and LGSEO is most likely gonna become a classic in a few years. But which one do y'all think is better?

I personally think Daytona is consistent although both are 10/10 in their own right. Daytona is short and it's a fun listen when you're going places. LGSEO probably has better production imo

If we're talking about features then it's pretty unfair but LGSEO would take the cake here.

Over all I'd put Daytona higher because it has had time to resonate with us longer. It's more consistent and repayable.

Obviously you can do the same for LGSEO but something like So Be It is so different from ebitda and Inglorious bastards. As for the best verse, it's hard to tell but I might have to give that to LGSEO because of Malice and Kendrick

Fushi's version of the we outta tires meme

I hope this doesn't get taken in the wrong way

The alcohol really got him

"I slept with Fushi that one night" must've been a very common tale in the family for Hisame's daughter to immediately understand why Fushi was concerned. She's probably under 18 at this point and her whole purpose is to breed

Also it just means Hisame's daughter doesn't know how babies are made yet

Season 2 episode 3 btw

OP's writing style was very original imo and his opinion is simply just very creative and agreeable

I love these two a lot. Such a good duo.

I'm just learning to draw recently and there's many mistakes but I'm overall proud of what I've drawn tbh.

There's a ton of improvements to be done

Second place goes to Mizuha. Third and fourth place goes to her father but technically it was their Nokker who enabled it
