I HATE THE ENIGMATIC GALE I HATE THE ENIGMATIC GALE I HATE THE ENIGMATIC GALE I HATE THE ENIGMATIC GALE

So what's next for Butcher?

Q: Urobuchi-san, you not only wrote the screenplay but also wrote the original concept and had a position to oversee the whole work as the executive supervisor. It really was a lot of work, wasn’t it?

Urobuchi: I probably won’t ever be involved in something to this extent ever again. At the beginning of this project, I wanted to change the whole business by creating a new market for glove puppetry. In a way, I had the ambition to exceed the role of a creator [of art or literature]. I managed to do that through this series, so I have a feeling of accomplishment as well. With the end of this series, I feel that I’m released from that thought.

with Urobuchi-san saying, “It would be a shame if the cooperation between Japanese and Taiwanese creators that was born through TBF ended here, so I am thinking about various plans for the future.”

OH FUCK

previous thread

Butch Gen being the patriarch for modern puppetry fits him way better than being a heartwarming writer.

Man I can’t believe it’s been a decade already.
Feels like yesterday I started watching s1 for for the hell of it and got blown away in the first 5 minute.

Same, I was also blown away from the start Just like TanHi's brother

We're so cloaked.

truth be told i wont even bother watching it after having followed tbf for 5 years. the last season clearly had no plan or direction and even when funding was good it progressively lost scope and vision, and we didnt get subs for 4 months. it will be more of the same non-sequitor character deaths and loose ends

No need to worry, everyone saw the Enigmatic Gale die to the Demon King. We are free to commit acts of villainy once again.

I thought it was odd he could do that but then it makes sense when it's revealed the sneaky bugger stole the Night of Mourning from Shou at some point after S2.

That manju was probably tasty...maybe Locust can go on to become a successful manju salesman!

The Demon King was a true hero in the end, saving humanity from the Enigmatic Gale...

Modern puppetry outside of Taiwan at least.

I love TBF, it's a great story and relatively accessible introduction to the medium, unlike trying to get into mainline Pili which has 40 years worth of plotlines and dozens of characters, it's even more difficult than trying to jump into One Piece in media res.

Thank you Urobochi sensei!
Thank you Baili binghong!

So it turns out that all three main characters are related to demons. Are pure humans just jobbers?

Locust and Lotus are the peak of mundane humanity.

loved this part

it will be more of the same non-sequitor character deaths and loose ends

if only you knew how wrong you are

Trust no one, not even yourself

Shou saying he didn't have time for this right into the chorus was the best fanservice in the series

spoiler

what an entrance

The budget dying was so obivious fuck
also whoever is in charge of pili's twitter since I know you look at these threads, a certain post a month on twitter and a half ago was a bad spoiler

was it?
they had a major battle sequence with lots of people on screen at once that must have taken a lot of work and money

Denka needed a poem
that's my only real complaint

I got emotional at the end credits roll with all the characters showing up once again. I love every single one of them.

Damn, my friend wants to wait an entire week before watching. I'm getting blueballed here.

S4 BD doko

I guess the real Thunderbolt Fantasy was all the friends we made along the way

Really?

It was even hammier when Shou said "Wow, the land really is cloaked in the deepest blue, and I see the shadows of eagles across the moon"
What were they thinking??

Shou didn't bang his mommy just because he needs to fuck duck

To be fair, Duck utterly deserves correction while Shou's mommy has been consistently correct.

Madoka movie.

I forgot these guy were announced. I'm concerned about Azi's eye whites not being black
