Extremely funny to me that a spy and an assassin who married each other for self-preservation reasons and constantly lie about themselves have one of the healthiest and openly communicative relationships I’ve seen in manga

Of the four models, this sword-wielding dandy has incorporated the most European elements into their wardrobe. Their black shirt features a wide crossover collar band reminiscent of an áo giao lĩnh, while the sheer bishop sleeves are gathered into scalloped cuffs finished with olive binding. Over this is buttoned a double-breasted waistcoat with a shawl collar that has been melded with a vân kiên or “cloud shoulder.” These pieces are paired with mannish black cycling breeches. Their boots feature green toe-caps and lacing panels that echo the shape of the waistcoat collar. They sit off-center, framed by pale tendrils of vapor enclosing a golden sun against a blue sky, elbow jutting out. Their other arm is outstretched, hand resting lightly on the pommel of a sword similar to a traditional European longsword, but with stylized bronze crossguard and pommel resembling the fittings of a kiếm. The hilt is lacquered black and inlaid with mother of pearl lozenges.

Howl’s Moving Castle is an absolute VIBE of a book. The main plot is this girl gets turned into an old woman and proceeds to move into a wizard’s house without asking permission first and torment everyone there by cleaning it up and being nosy and rude. The old woman part just makes her even more confident cause the wizard only “eats the heart” of young girls, so she just makes his life miserable with zero remorse and the wizard has no choice but to fall in love with her

I don't like the pre-fall relationship, nor that they're both big-names in their respective...organizations (?) now. I loved them because they're kind of like loser nobody working-class entities for rival companies, and the juxtaposition that these companies are Heaven and Hell is just so funny. In a sense, I just don't see my relatable employee character suddenly taking a COO position of the company he hated and ranted about for 6000 years to his friend from the rival company.
Hard same. Crowley and Aziraphale are cold war field agents, ignored because they're not doing anything important - earth is where the last battle will be won and a place to secure souls, but it's not actually interesting to either side. And neither is anyone important in the book - the angel stuck on gate duty and a demon who "isn't even a local councillor" and that's what's made them interesting to me.
They are no ones, doing their best and making no damn difference to the end result - but the important thing is that they try. They didn't need to hold Adam's hand, no one needed to do a dramatic sky wave, they just needed to show up, panic ineffectually, and:
"You don't think we should actually try and stop Him?"
"What have you got to lose?"
I guess I was more dissapointed with the first series for not bothering to do the identical celestial/infernal beings, only different if you look at the colour of their flames - and the loss of "Why are we talking about good and evil? They're just names for sides. We know that." than the character changes they made. I get why they made them simpler characters, made them less interesting and morally grey like the earth they love. But the first series had a plot and this second series - which I enjoyed but haven't loved - is all character based and, well. The shortfall's a bit obvious.Yeah, you’re right. The show almost feel like it reversed everything the book built – for the drama and Hollywood-ness of it all – so angels and demons are once again different, and enemies, and our main characters have to be powerful, important people. And I get why people are into the show, but that’s not something that I’m into.
