The new Thunderbolt Fantasy movie has just been released, which is supposed to be the bridge between the first and the upcoming second season. It's about how Screaming Phoenix Killer got screwed over by vaping keikakuman, and some parts of the original story retold from a rather specific and interesting point of view with some cool things sprinkled in. Also watch the original show if you haven't already, I find it easily Urobutcher's best.

Wait, Urobuchi wrote this? Does it have suffering?

Oh yeah, this is still on my backlog. Anons were raving about how good it was.

Gotta pick that up again. I've dropped it because,.
I really enjoyed the first few episodes and I can't wait to see it in higher quality.

It's Urobuchi and the setting is very wuxia-ish. Of course it does.

>Screaming Phoenix Killer's backstory was 10/10 though I expected the hook to be "create new name, 'Snow Crow' and then Gale steals it and frames Phoenix as a murderous madman again while taking all the good parts for himself.
>Shou is a fucking saint; therapist and coach of the year all years

It was really good. Also, there were some fantastic shots spersed throughout the movie.

Does anyone have the character poems or a compilation video of when they appear in the show? They were honestly what I thought were the best parts of each character, and it's hard to figure out who was the best character to begin with.

Finally got around to watching season 1 after seeing this thread. I'm sad that the edgeless blade was spoiled for me in a webm thread.
It was really, really good. I guess the only thing I didn't like was that Enigmatic Gale was a really frustrating character, doing everything flawless and according to keikaku and he's even blows Bones of Creation the fuck out in swordplay, but I can partially forgive it when Bones cucked Gale out of his goal.

It's the best thing he's ever written, there's some suffering but because this is a heroic tale of badass wuxia puppets he can't just revel in edginess and roll around in darkness like a pig in filth, and the story is much better for it.

I had the distinctive unfortunate privilige of watching this bullshit. I must say the hammy acting and poor doll animation make me want to fuck this thread with a tire iron. But at least it wasn't as bad as FLCL. The actual plot exist here and I give props for that. But my goodness the actors give less of a fuck about acting here then even in popteamepic, and those motherfuckers have no fucks to give. I like and simultaniusly being creeped out by the trapped in an iron cage scenes. What the hell? But at least the costumes are nice. overall 4/10

I think you just can't appreciate the epic saga of the stuff, the hero's journey, and focused on the wrong parts all over, of course, because you're a brainlet.

Yes, the puppeteers use their right hand to move the puppets, and so they have to use their left hands to move the puppets hands. It's easier if they mostly have to move the left hand, therefore all characters are left handed.

I finally finished the series and the movie. They were quite enjoyable. The action was amazing and I'm impressed how much live they gave those performances. However, I did expect the roles of those three mid-boss jobbers to be at least a little bigger.

I doubt this will happen but I wouldn't mind if it does. There's also one part that I'm still not certain, regarding the series: Did Xing Hai merge with the demon god or did she just leave once it was released?

I would think that the giant explosion would have killed her but I also don't doubt that she'll show up again in the second season. She does tell Bones that they'll meet again later.

A mini OVA would be nice too. It could have four episodes. Two in which he fucks over Impaler and Lament and the other two about him being a guard and government official to fuck somebody else over, as Bones mentioned.

I just realized that in episode 6 Screaming Phoenix Killer goads Juan into killing all the cannon fodder for the beach landing. When he does so, Impaler tells Screaming that he's good at handling youths and he should consider getting a student of his own. After watching the movie, what I realized is just how much of a fucking dick Impaler is for making that comment.

The only moment he ever expressed anything apart from amusement was when Mr Bones counter-trolled him by destroying The Sword.
Even when his old master got slain by Sha Wu Sheng he barely gave a fuck.
