The Nerd Off: (Protected Content)
Greetings Rod, Karen and fellow Black Nerd Guests,
I hope all is well today! I wanted to share the experience that I had with the Attack on Titan: Beyond the Walls concert that I went to in Charlotte. The anime will always be amazing to me, however, the music is it’s own experience as well. The music pairings that were done along with scenes from the anime were breathtaking. I was moved to tears a few times with the choice of music and the vocals, as the vocalists were 10/10 stars. If they do this tour again, I will be there ready with my ticket. Alos, because of the Oscar slight, I decided to get another movie for the re-release of Demon Slayer. I still cannot believe how this was overlooked at the Oscars. Again, Sinners better be winning on Oscar night.
Anyhoo, I will pose to the panel the question that the concession sister at the Attack on Titan concert posed to me. I love a good merch station and as I got my stuffs, sis asked me the following question: Was Eren justified with the Rumbling? I immediately said, with the state of the world today, Eren wasn’t wrong, some folks would need a foot to ass, So, I will ask the same question to you, was Eren justified or did he overdo it? Anyhoo, thank you for always letting me indulge my love for AoT in my favorite Nerd Space.
Love, Mizzbarnes
