merry christmas, oogami.
i love the scene of adonis noticing that rei was depressed post-crossroads and all the discussions of adonis being particularly clever / observant throughout the story... it really hammers home the adonis and rei parallels. both emotionally intelligent people who feel othered and who are driven by their love for humans and desire to help even strangers to the point of self sacrifice. the major differences between them are caused by adonis' crippling self esteem (which is something he's slowly but surely learning to improve) and rei being treated like a god (something that's also changing as rei allows himself to be fallible)
wait are eichi and rei together now? does this mean kaoru is the only single guy in undead? kaoru get your act together you have so many "complex relationship" arrows
Kaoru: ...
(adonis event story spoilers under cut)
so you’re telling me urania was a child, shouldering burdens no child should ever have to shoulder, when adonis comforted her with his song? a simple comforting gesture that meant nothing to him and everything to her? a gesture he forgot almost immediately, but that she carried with her for years to come? that she brought all the way with her to japan?
wow! that story doesn’t sound familiar at all to another experience in adonis’ life. anyway, im going to go listen to the fully voiced Reincarnation: Chapter 8 from the !-era story Resurrection Sunday for no reason in particular.

for most characters, their character color is the same as their hair color. for some characters, such as hajime and niki, it is their eye color. there are only five exceptions to this rule — yuuta and hinata, whose colors reference the colors they've chosen to differentiate themselves; midori and chiaki, whose colors reference their roles as ryuusei green and red; and rei, for no obvious reason. why purple? if anything, wouldn't it make more sense for his color to be black or dark red? on the surface, rei appears to have no connection to the color dark purple. however, looking deeper, the answer becomes obvious. otogari adonis—

YEAH!!! like rei keeps saying throughout the story that no matter what he does, he knows people (undead) will still love him (iirc once near the beginning as a half-joke and once near the end, on stage -- these two instances parallel each other, which makes me think that it's a sentiment that should have been explored more). i think that would have been fantastic to explore through AI, especially since rei might have assumed that koga of all people would love AI rei more than the real deal.
Read the first half of UNDEAD climax translated and the second half with livetweets. Highkey wish UNDEAD confronted their AI countperarts more tbh. Especially given how the AI’s personalities seem to mostly come from UNDEAD’s past selves
I want to see them reflect on that but also I am a sucker for when different versions of a character co-exist. I want Rei AI to break down in our Rei’s arms tbh bc he has the pain that Ore Rei had. I just want the angst. A very self-indulgent angst moment here
AI defenders will make it seem as if art is this gatekept pastime that only the most elite can partake in and they’re making it possible for the “normies” to create meanwhile one of the most memorable pieces of recent art I’ve ever seen is “My son’s drawing of safe”
