my favourite trope will always be when someone believes they're hard to love because they have scars and are so human that it feels unreal and someone who loves them like it's breathing, natural, easily, devoted and just. it's lovely. they're just too consumed with love and don't want to stop being half of the other's soul.

Another amazing art from Banana Fish (supervising) anime director Ayumi Yamada (山田 歩)
She replied to a comment that, after this (meaning after dropping the hotdogs), Max gets really angry and goes shopping again (laughs). And also that he’ll probably get yelled at.
We can probably imagine who’ll yell at him😏

🎶I still remember the third of December, me in your sweater
You said it looked better on me than it did you
Only if you knew how much I liked you

“humans can be funny. they don’t understand death, but they instinctively fear it. there were so many times when i felt death would be better. dying would seem so sweet and tempting then.”

i will never forgive how the anime did my boy
I finally watched Banana Fish recently and drew this through my tears
"The title of the movie poses an interesting question that is asked time and again throughout: what does it mean to be human? When someone hears the word “monster,” they likely picture an otherworldly, grotesque creature that bears no resemblance to a human. In the beginning of the film, Minato asks his mother if a person would still be themselves if their brain was replaced with a pig’s brain. Saori begs the elementary school administration to respect her as a person as she confronts them about Mr. Hori. More than an attempt to get to the truth of the situation with Minato and Mr. Hori, Monster is a delicate exploration of humanity. It’s easy to call something or someone a monster, because that strips the soul out of the situation. It allows us to separate the darkness that people are capable of from humanity itself, but that’s not the truth. We all have the ability to be awful and good and cruel, but that doesn’t make us monsters, it makes us human." (x)
