Not to sound annoying but this is why I liked Selfish Kiss immediately, the hierarchy there makes sense and I really need to reread it from the start because I’ve forgotten most of what happened until where I read. Jeez. We should get that animated instead of just a regular s2

Honestly all the HK boys feel plain because the hobbies they have listed are not really hobbies or they are never shown to actually perform them. Ata’s hobby is “staying at home” pleaseeeeeeee

I think the saddest thing about KyouRyou is that ep10 has a scene where they’re all talking about Ryouma caring for Kyou his entire life, and Kyou is about to say something that seems important, but turns out he just stayed back in the conversation and they completely waste the chance to… I don’t know, say something really surprising, not ruin the tension like that. Earlier Kyou also finally revealed that the reason why he likes to sleep is because he likes to dream, but can’t remember what he dreamed about, though he feels as if it’s something important. This sounds like an interesting plot point, but it was only used to compare him to an old man, so again, we’re wasting all the good ideas here, dammit!

OMG YES I keep saying it, the falling out wasn’t Kyou’s fault and actually Ryouma and him tried to talk to Ata about it and didn’t stop being friendly to him while they were separated! But Atsushi did go behind Kinshiro’s back and then neither of them confronted the other about it (it might’ve been Atsushi’s fault but I think Kinshiro could’ve also said something), yet Kyoutarou had to apologize to Ata for not noticing his feelings or something? The feelings that he repressed and refused to talk about for years? Okay then, I don’t understand anything anymore, this is just using the KinAtsu drama again instead of writing something a bit different

OOF the ep2 joke hurt, I think they were trying to imitate how in ep8 En saved Atsushi and immediately yelled at him “You need to eat more! You’re too light!”, the difference is that En was posessed by a monster to be mean like that and Kyoutarou wasn’t. It would’ve been so different if Kyou had showed appreciation for Ryouma through words at least, like saying “I’m so calm because Ryou-chin has always been there for me” or just thanking him for everything, it’s that simple, but instead they make Kyou look selfish and careless for most of the anime until ep11 when he suddenly decides to care for Ata? What. What the hell

Every time I rewatch some episode of Boueibu HK I wonder again how the staff even planned this season. Like. Almost nothing meaningful happens with the characters

TLDR the characters with the most developement in HK are the monsters

Kyoutarou is there as a complete contrast to Yumoto while keeping the battle speeches so his characterization doesn't make much sense. Nanao is mere fujoshi bait. Taiju and Taishi have random bits of dialogue that hint at possible arcs for s2 but not enough to tell us what it really is. Maasa has an unfinished arc in his episode, where supposedly he's putting fatty butter in his cookies to make everyone else overweight because he resents Ichiro not defending him when they were little, but then his friends tell him it's fine and then he can move on??? This would work with Ichiro's theme of not wanting to be immature or dense anymore, except they only ever used this theme as a gag (misunderstanding the meaning of whatever the others have said) or to straight up humilliate him (ep4) and continue treating him like a stupid baby. At the end of the season Maasa and him have made peace somehow and that's it. Ata gets in my opinion the closest thing to a complete arc, even if it's just staring angrily at Kyoutarou for ten episodes, then explaining his problem while fighting him and finally getting his apology and reconcilliation. At least it's something. And poor Ryouma is just there to be the butt of a few jokes about how he lets Nanao and Kyoutarou use him, be in a couple of cute shippy scenes, and also for Ata to completely dismiss him from the flashbacks to the point where if they had first met in high school nothing would've changed.

The relationships barely have developement either. Love had anime episodes and manga chapters dedicated to the different close friendships solving their conflicts and becoming closer. There were also many instances of seeing how close the Hakone brothers-defense club and Beppu brothers' relationships were, and even though they didn't have any conflict between themselves, they made them strong sides for the final fight. Yumoto didn't get a character arc but through the entire anime he was revealed to be strong, considerate, forgiving and mature, willing to kindly befriend the Beppu twins for his brother but not let them walk all over him; contrary to how he was presented in the first episodes, like a stereotypical magical girl protagonist. Anyway in HK there's no meaningful conflict between any of them besides Kyoutarou and Ata. Taishi and Ichiro argue constantly but don't show to genuinely like each other after all like IoRyuu or EnAtsu did. Ichiro and Maasa never make any progress to be together again, Maasa hints once at liking Taishi and nothing comes from it, and Nanao and Taiju have the most artificial friendship in the cast that I just do not understand. They just ran an ice cream shop once with again unexplained success and make sassy remarks at each other ever since. And I guess Karurusu and Furanui had a bit of developement thanks to Kyou and Ata in ep12. Idk about the aliens, this time it's like they didn't do it completely well but also not as bad as with the rest of the cast. Maybe bc they didn't appear as much as the humans in most of the episodes

I'm realizing now that a few of these complaints are related to Nanao acting weird

Idk where to put this but I'd like to point out Kinshiro's principles of halting the fight with the Battle Lovers as soon as he finds out that the s1 conflict was set up for a reality show and actively defending them from an attack because they're Binan students, despite still not having received his apology from Atsushi. Ata might've done the same if the HK finale's events had gone in the same order (travelling to Honyalaland to fight Wao, then Kyoutarou apologizing to Ata), but he doesn't feel as a character as deep as Kinshiro in that sense bc they didn't really show him to be in other ways.

Love feels more like an actual group of people while HK feels like they were filling in friendship group roles or something

#boueibu #marine talks #i had been planning to write a hk s2 in the future but after all this talking i just wanna rewrite the original story #ata was shown doing kendo and taiju was reading a book in the ending #maybe put that as their hobbies? at least maasa's does feature as his hobbie

top five episodes of anything of your choosing

LIME THIS IS SO HARD XD THANK U FOR THE ASK!!

So I'm not sure if this is "top five episodes of a media of your choosing" or "top five episodes of anything ever" SO IM DOING TWO also I like so many episodes so I'm just rolling with what comes to mind right now dfhvg

ALSO HEADS UP FOR POSSIBLE SPOILERS FROM: Star Trek The Original Series, Star Trek The Next Generation, Duck Tales [2017], Doctor Who [Tennant], Sherlock Holmes [Granada], Monk [season 1], Boueibu [Season 1+2]

SO FOR THE FIRST MEDIA. STAR TREK YAHOOOOOOOOOO this is unfortunately just The Original Series [TOS] and The Next Generation [TNG] because I still haven't had time for Voyager or Deep Space 9 yet orz

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

-Court Martial [TOS]: Gives us a look into how the Federation handles trials, and while I don't love some of the parts, the fact that Spock catches the computer tampering via chess match is so good.

-Eye of the Beholder [TNG]: Troi being an empath is the huge focus here, and the constant twists and turns really keep you guessing. And TROI AND WORF AUGH WHY DID THEY PAIR HER WITH RIKER IN THE END WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY

-Spock's Brain [TOS]: REALLY don't like the HEAVY sexism going on BUT it's really fun to have Spock be in peril and Kirk and Bones so desperate to save him uwu

-Tin Man [TNG]: The focus for this episode is Tam Elbrun, a Betazoid who is a gifted telepath even by their standards and an alien entity 'Tin Man'. Tam winds up catching 'Tin Man''s thoughts, and discovers that it calls itself Gomtuu, and that it is of an ancient species. He decides to join Gomtuu's journey to commit suicide in a star going supernova. Very bittersweet end for a character who didn't fit in, but he created a lasting impression.

In no particular order:

Trouble with Tribbles [TOS S2 Ep15 Dec 29th 1967]

Okay I mean this one is CLASSIC. This is THE Star Trek episode for so many people. You read that title and you are picturing Kirk buried in fluffballs, with new ones falling upon his head the entire time. I love the Tribbles, they are SO CUTE AND GOOD and give me SO MUCH SEROTONIN.

I do also enjoy the overall premise though; a planet being fought over by the Federation and the Klingons, and the victor will be who can make it agriculturally viable. Fun twists and turns, and the Tribbles wind up VERY IMPORTANT bcus they don't like Klingons and. Not ever Klingon looks like a Klingon. c:

2. Immunity Syndrome [TOS S2 Ep18 Jan 19th 1968]

THIS ONE HITS SO HARD. It starts with a Federation ship entirely populated with Vulcans dying and Spock getting SLAMMED with that, and all he says about the Vulcans is that all they could feel was shock. And then we find it. A giant, all-consuming single celled organism, like a giant amoeba. But as it eats more and more, the time for it to split is coming which would doom Everything.

NOW DURING THAT someone has to go to that thing and science at it, and both Spock and Bones step up to the plate; Spock is chosen for his Vulcan biology, and he does later rub it in that Bones probably wouldn't have survived it. But It's SO AWFUL for Kirk who is choosing basically WHO WILL HAVE TO DIE of his two friends. They do haul Spock out of there but,,,yeah.

3. Genesis [TNG S7 Ep19 Mar 21st 1994]

SO THIS ONE IS FUN BECAUSE EVERYONE STARTS DE-EVOLVING. The local hypochondriac is in the medbay again and he gets a booster. And THAT is where everything goes wrong. People start displaying older, more primal behaviors, crew members begin to devolve, and by the time Picard and Data, who had left the ship, return, everything is SO SCREWED.

The cure is found by Data's cat, Spot; she has been turned into an iguana, but her babies are still kittens. Something something amniotic fluid. AND WHILE THEY'RE DOING THIS. Worf is a fucking BEAST now and he almost gets Picard!! :D

4. The Devil in the Dark [TOS S1 Ep26 Mar 8th 1967]

So first of all this episode is THE start of Bones going "I'm a doctor, not an [x]" so jot that down. BUT ANYWAY mining planet, tons of rare minerals, but the crew are being killed one by one by a mysterious monster. Eventually it gets at the generator which means EVERYONE CAN DIE if they don't fix it.

Now, during the mining they kept finding silicone nodules. Except they're eggs. The miners have been accidentally destroying thousands and thousands of eggs of the creature that is the last of its kind alive, which they discover is called a Horta after Spock mind melds with it. This one just hits hard and fast AND it ends relatively happily; the miners reach a truce with the Horta, and she hatches the eggs of her species and they tunnel up all kinds of minerals. And the miners are like symbiotic parasites <3

5. Masks [TNG S7 Ep17 Feb 21st 1994]

The Enterprise finds an alien archive that was frozen within a comet; but the moment they begin to burn through the comet, the Enterprise begins to Change. Most of all, Data does. He winds up essentially downloading the personality and soooorta 'spirit' of every single person in that alien race- including its deities, not all of which are kind.

It's Datacentric AND a really cool concept; I really enjoy the thought of a species locking its collective consciousness into a library as a last ditch effort of preservation. Hits different.

OKAY AND NOW THE OTHER I PROMISE I'LL TALK LESS in no particular order

HONORABLE MENTIONS:

-All of the opera Looney Tunes, Rhapsody in Rivets, Feed the Kitty, One Froggy Evening, and so many others: THEY'RE GOOD VIBES BRONT

-Most episodes of the Pink Panther cartoon: GOOD MUSIC FUNNY HAHA

-All of the original Pokemon series: look Ash annoyed me at times but the sheer VIBES of this series,,,,never matched again, not for me at least.

-Doctor Who, Classic Who: Dragonfire serial: My fave companion Ace is introduced and one of my fave Doctors [Seven].

DuckTales [2017]: The Duck Knight Returns [S2 Ep16] AND Let's Get Dangerous Parts 1&2 [S3 Ep12-13].

So these are the two HEAVILY Darkwing Duck focused episodes of the show. Now I didn't grow up with DW, idk if it just wasn't playing or if we didn't have the channel, but even I can feel the pure nostalgia in this episode. I love that it looks at the grimdark remakes of superheroes who have always been goofy or at least Hopeful and the way it works it into the story, PLUS the jealousy of an old actor vs the new actor stepping into the role. My ONLY complaint with this one is that it PERFECTLY sets up Darkwing's nemesis Negaduck to show up, literally the older actor is in the sewers and the dye leaks out of his costume showing it to be Negaduck colors AND IT'S PERFECT HE EVEN SAYS HE'S HAPPY TO PLAY THE PART and then they DON'T EVER ADDRESS IT.

Let's Get Dangerous focuses in on Saint Canard and Gosalyn [and her missing, presumed dead grandfather]. I saw this one after I started watching DW, and honestly it's a really great interpretation of her story. The science and danger are really high up there and I enjoy it, and it's the last really good taste we get of the DW trio because they are never gonna make a DW Duck remake OTL

2. Doctor Who [New Who]: The Impossible Planet and the Satan Pit [Series 2 Ep 8-9]

Look any Doctor Who is gonna be hard bcus Donna is prob my favorite new who companion and Tennant is my favorite of the modern Doctors, but something about this episode just really HITS for me. I love getting to this dying planet in the orbit of a black hole and you think alright well that's the problem BUT NO ACTUALLY IT'S THE FUCKIN UHHHHH DEVIL. OKAY. THANKS.

There's possession and there's ancient evils being awoken, there's a high stakes escape from the planet and Rose gets to be a BADASS and also she gets to talk about the important of UNIONIZING. I can't explain well why I really enjoy this one, I think it just. Scratches an itch.

3. Sherlock Holmes [1984 Granada Series]: The Blue Carbuncle

I LOVE JUST ABOUT EVERY SINGLE EPISODE OF THIS SERIES BUT,,,but,,,the vibes on this one are just it, okay? It's a Christmas episode sure but it's the 1800s and it's not super slammed in your face, but also just. It's warm. A husband on the outs with his wife loses his hat and goose but they're returned by Holmes, and he is down on his luck and oh he makes me so sad...the really heart-wrenching plot with the man framed for the theft whose wife wants to believe him but is terrified AND THEIR KIDS,,,

AND AT THE END Sherlock wants to sit down for their meal but Watson just Can't, not while an innocent man is in jail, and he and Sherlock go and free him and his wife and kids hug tackle him aaaaa,,,

4. Monk: Mr. Monk and the Red-Headed Stranger [S1 Ep12]

Look I'll be real this one is mostly on here because I love Willie Nelson and he's in it I can't okay??? But I just really love who Monk is and how he is, and he gets the chance to play with Willie on the radio BUT SOMEONE ELSE RUINS IT,,,,BUT THEN THEY PLAY TRUDY'S FAVORITE SONG AT HER GRAVE AT THE END AAAAAAAAAAAAAA and also a very sympathetic murderer always throws a wrench in things.

5. Binan Kōkō Chikyū Bōei-bu LOVE!: Ep8: Love Wanders AND Binan Kōkō Chikyū Bōei-bu LOVE! LOVE!: Ep12: Love Will Save The Earth!

I COULDN'T FINISH THIS LIST WITHOUT ONE ANIME OR BOUEIBU BEING ON THIS LIST.

Love Wanders I love so much because friends having a fight...FRIENDS HAVING A FIGHT....and Atsushi's past friendship with Kinshiro that broke apart [at the time] in a similar way, a sudden distance that he doesn't know how to cope with. This time it's a monster, not curry, and EN. SWOOPING IN TO SAVE ATSUSHI FROM THE BLAST EVEN THOUGH HE'S STILL ANGRY. They're married your honor they did the love attack together they cut the wedding cake they are MARRIED

And for LOVE! LOVE!, I love many episodes but Love Will Save The Earth! Really hits different. YUMOTO really hits different in it. A ton of people can do a way better job of explaining it than I can but the Beppus obsession with Goura and Yumoto's love for his big brother [also Goura for non boueibuers] slam into each other head on here and Yumoto ALMOST GOES BERSERKER MODE!!!

SORRY THIS GOT SO LONG DSFXHGVG THANK U FOR THE ASK!!

tagged by @phoenixfangs yayyaa get ready for paragraph assault. it's vacation so I'm watching lots of shit.

reading: oof. lots and lots of things. plenty of ongoing mangas (i mostly follow by the volume) most notably I'm almost done w Homunculus (2 vol left) and King in Limbo's last omnibus is dropping on tuesday (i preordered it) so im excited for that! ig I'm also playing through slow damage rn, which is mostly a visual novel, but it has more gameplay than the usual nc visnov. its a mystery, which im always a fan of.

currently watching: 4 things w my brother; -boku no hero season 7. yes, season 7. yes, I still like this series, in fact I think it's really good and it's kinda funny to me how there's so many joke posts going around (made by people who havent even seen it) about it being shit. it airs on saturdays but we usually watch it on sundays (because that was more convenient last season and it sorta stuck) -isekai suicide squad. its entertaining/interesting enough and has some good animation sometimes. it airs on thursdays so we literally just watched the newest one. i like clayface n deadshot in this one. -blue lock. i went to the Nagi movie w another friend and then managed to convince Finn to watch the show with me. he's not a sports anime guy (this is his first) so we'll see how it goes, lmao. we're trying to watch s1 before s2 drops in october, but we're keeping it a weekly thing, watching it alongside new releases. -jojo part 3 ova. we watch this one sporadically since the episodes are longer than the standard nowadays, so he's not always in the mood. the music in this one was made by one guy with his midi soundboard, but I love the vibe of the whole thing, very different from david prod p3. I'm also watching 4 things myself; -Cowboy Bebop. constantly in awe of how good it looks. the fine details on the ships and weapons... augh. its making me want to check out more 90s animes. i'm also a big fan of how it does its storytelling, its got good visual language and utilises "show dont tell" well. i exclusively watch this one on the tv instead of my laptop, its too good for the laptop. -Shuumatsu Train. one that i didnt finish last season that i decided to pick back up, since its strange and interesting enough that it seems like a waste to leave unfinished. -Boueibu s1. im rewatching s1 so that i can immediately watch s2 afterwards (havent seen it yet) -Tasogare Outfocus. what can i say. i always watch anything gay that comes out (not that i always finish them...) i do also like movies and moviemaking so the backdrop interests me as well.

currently craving: im actually like. full af i just had icecream for desert plus an iced coffee afterwards. ig im craving brushing my teeth.

coffee or tea: see thats the thing. cant choose. im choosing both. i like to have both coffee and tea at night, coffee as a nice after dinner treat (mostly iced coffee, if it's hot i usually drink it in the afternoon) and tea late at night when I'm chilling. might make some tea after i stop being so full. also zach i might just have to take you to court over the sweet tea thing. better find a good lawyer.

tagginggg @kuwupikaa @sunflowermews @isleofair @drakefisher @xrd n anyone who feels compelled to do thisss

#tagged #tag game #tedpost #tedtalks #i couldve gone more in depth w the reading thing but watching is already so long. so im not gonna make it any longer lmao

On the Umatani Wiki, there are now pages for:

All episodes of Boueibu LOVE (excluding the OVA, waiting for the poll to finish before I name it) and Happy Kiss.

Category pages for said episodes (but I have to go back and fix Happy Kiss's).

Pages for staff members listed on the official Boueibu site in each episode's page for LOVE season one and two.

Category pages for Staff, LOVE! Staff, and LOVE! S1 and 2 staff. (Have to update the pages for S1 staff who also worked on S2.)

Keep in mind all of these pages are really bare bones, I'm just getting the formatting/category trees set up. Like the staff pages just have their names.

If you want to step in and contribute anything, like for the character or episode pages, please do so!

The Wiki was marked inactive cause I took a break from it and no one else touched it. No longer marked that, but if it's inactive for too long it will get deleted!

#boueibu #boueibu love #boueibu happy kiss #umatani wiki #robihachi #fairy ranmaru #(including those two cause it's the umatani wiki)

Boueibu and Sailor Moon?

Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! is obscure apparently, but this wonderful Magical Boy show has a handful of Sailor Moon refs.

While making the show, each boy was dubbed "Lack-Luster Sailor" and apparently had a Tuxedo Mask type character who was later scrapped. But if you watch the entire LOVE! Series, you will see some refs to Sailor Moon (and other magical girl shows).

S1's OP includes a ref to the old senshi poses we saw EVERYWHERE back in the early 2000s

The s1 manga includes a page (Thanks to my friends in the fandom from a few years ago for translating it) that parodies s1ep1 of Sailor Moon. (Dare I say it, the Student Council are the Outer Senshi of this anime but apparently they were based more off the four Shitennou)

Atsushi's original end pose was Jupiter's as well in the production notes

They transform using bracelets, much like the senshi do in Live Action Sailor Moon/PGSM (Except they can't remove them)

s2 has even MORE refs to Sailor Moon, especially Yumoto's transformation and his attacks (as he is this show's Sailor Moon). He even parodies Spiral Heart Moon Attack! in his final attack

Yumoto also mimics the Moon Healing Escalation attack as well

Then in the s2 finale, we see Ryuu do the classic In the Name of the Moon pose

The OVA has the pose from Usagi's Disguise Pen transformation with Yumoto as well.

So, what I'm saying is (LOL) please watch Boueibu XD It may help fill your Sailor Moon Cosmos need.

okay BYE

*not all refs are here, these are off the top of my head

About episode 12 season 2 of Boueibu...

Okay, so we already know that the Student Council “does not sing” (yeah, right...). But what were they doing and thinking while watching the Defense Club singing for the whole galaxy?

Arima:

Probably watching the show just mildly interested. When the song starts being more catchy, he lets out one of his usual exclamations of polite surprise (”Ah ~”). Internally wonders whether the Defense Club used to rehearse that musical number at school, since they were quite good for an improvised show. Still, they would be able to hear them from the Student Council room, wouldn’t they?

As the “Like!” icons spread all over the stage, he just nods his agreement and thinks to himself that it would be nice if the show was broadcast in Earth as well. He also tries to figure out which kind of tea would better go with an idols battle like that.

Speaking of tea, he notices a slight increase in temperature along with... steam? Must be just an impression... anyway, he gives a side look to the other two.

“Ah ~”

Well, he is not that surprised.

Akoya:

He curls a lock of his hair imagining himself in the spotlight singing so much better than those guys that the whole galaxy would love him and make him their idol instead.

Sometimes he catch himself looking to Io and admiring his elegance even in a situation like that. Okay, maybe his spotlight fantasy could be a duet instead of a solo...

Then his eyes insist in focusing Ryuu once in a while. He wants to convince himself that Zaou’s incompetence would spoil Io’s perfect performance, but the truth is that light definitely favors Ryuu’s sparkly eyes and bright, confident smile, and his voice is not that bad either.

His musical fantasy becomes a rivalry fantasy in which they duel for the chance of being Io’s partner until their fans all over the galaxy start begging them to get together, and then the duet becomes a trio and...

Is it getting hotter in here? That might be out of my anger, for sure...

He tries to get back to the first idea; daydreaming about Io is okay, but with Ryuu Zaou is definitely too much!

Kinshirou:

He is kind of skeptic in the beginning because, seriously, would anyone imagine that lazy Yufuin singing? He will probably snore into the microphone! And why is he always that close to Atchan? Kinshirou is really tempted to get on the stage and take Atsushi away from all that mummery.

From the very moment Atsushi’s lips part to sing the first line, Kinshirou starts blushing. He tries to hold himself and keep a rigid posture and a blasé expression, but Atchan singing and smiling is just too much to handle. He covertly takes a few photos with his phone -- all of them are kind of blurry and shaky, but they would do. He burns out of jealousy and envy of all those alien creatures who are able to enjoy the show and vote for Atchan. His thumb starts itching.

He silently reaches to Wombat and casually asks him how to purchase posters and other stuff from outer space -- just out of curiosity, not that we would ever display any interest in covering his room with posters and action figures of Battle Lover Epinard fighting, singing, dancing or just existing.

He gets back to his place just in time to see Atsushi smiling brightly to them while singing. He starts fantasizing Atchan performing that lovely way just for him and tries his best to keep his poker face. Then he notices Arima discretly looking at him and all the steam coming out of his own heated face.
