by which i mean i don't doubt the entire story is gonna be 'nasu being nasu' but babylon is a concentrated shot of 'humanity fucking owns' punching you in the fucking orbital bone
I think like... Babylonia's biggest failing is that it really underutilized Ushi, Leo, and Benkei. Like if they were more consistent travel companions before Gorgon, or if, like, only one of them bit it at the Gorgon fight and the rest of them had to deal with it, it would've been a lot better I think?
yeah babylon is a stirring epic adventure story even in its darkest parts and is incredibly uplifting even when everything is terrible and everyone is dead and it's all about triumph
it's plotted so well while babylon meanders and babylon meandering is a good thing in its context but there's something inherently pleasing about how well put together the structure of camelot is
camelot's meandering was purposeful in a larger picture, like we were fucking around Accomplishing Shit while babylonia was meandering around doing small tasks for people
WE ARE NOT SOME BUTTERFLIES ON A BOARD!At the entrance of the desert, someone reminded me I was human.Me:
