My 10 favourite... beefcake animes!

Okay yes, I realise that this is a rather weird title. I had originally thought to call it something along the lines of my favourite martial arts or fighting animes, but because the animes don’t always fall into that category, I decided to call a spade, a spade (or a beefcake, a beefcake) and admit that, most times sometimes, I just enjoy animes with muscular guys in them. That’s not to forget the ladies though because some of these shows also feature some rather muscular ladies in the mix too. So there’s something for everyone!

So, in no particular order (because the genres are sometimes different so making comparisons wouldn’t be fair):

1. Street Fighter series.

Hardly a surprise considering that this is a series that has a legacy firmly placed in the gaming world. Although you don’t really need to know who’s who in order to watch these shows, it doesn’t hurt to know a little about the characters before you jump in - mainly because the creators assume that those who watch it are fans of the show. Expect a fair amount of fighting (the name gives that one away), lots of bromance (Ryu and Ken 4eva!) and the eternal fight of good vs. evil (which is usually the plot of every show/movie)! Even if you aren’t familiar with Ryu & co., the show won’t lead you astray so you can watch without worry. Oh and let me just say - Chun Li is ma gurl! If you want to see a woman that’s not only beautiful but can also kick your ass, then watch these shows - especially Street Fight II the movie! 

2. Hajime no Ippo.

One of my most favourite sports animes of all time which tells the tale of Makunouchi Ippo and his rise up the ranks of the boxing world. He starts off as a kid that just wants to get stronger so that he can fend off the bullies who harass him. Sick of his weak self (and after a couple of incidents here and there), Ippo joins a boxing gym, starting from scratch and going through basic training. His coach sees his potential and helps shape Ippo into a power boxer who fights head on and never backs down from the fight. Throughout the series, we get to know the other boxers in the gym as well as the competitors that they face, and we watch them battle it out in the ring. It’s a story with a great balance of sports, a sprinkling of slice of life (well, the life of a boxer) and comedy. And, of course, boxing boys come with boxing bodies... and I’m not complaining! And if you enjoy this and want more, try either “Ashita no Joe” (old school classic) or it’s more recent spin-off, “Megalo Box”. Oh and in terms of strong women - no one beats Ippo’s mom! She’s a powerhouse!

3. Baki the Grappler.

More of an MMA vibe with this one - it’s about a kid (he’s like 13 when we first meet him) who has been raised to be a fighter since he was born - his mother gets him the best trainers and equipment money can buy. He eventually feels like he’s outgrown the traditional training method and starts to find other ways to become a better fighter, which includes following his fathers footsteps - training the same way he did and with the people he did - and taking on some of the other fighters he meets along the way. After an altercation with his father (using that term rather lightly), Baki’s path eventually leads to the underground fight scene where challengers can test their strength and face off against each other in an anything-goes type of fight, using whatever techniques, power and skills they have at their disposal. And Baki’s ultimate goal? To defeat his father! It’s got some family drama as the foundation, but when it comes to beefcakes, there’s no shortage here - even if it is a 17-year old kid looking like a grown-ass man. Oh, best to be aware that (excluding the OVAs) there 3 seasons of Baki - the anime series from 2001 and the 2018 Netflix version which covers the "Most Evil Death Row Convicts" arc. 

4. Kengan Ashura.

When I first started watching this, the first thing I thought was - ahhh! this reminds me of Baki! And, indeed, there are quite a few elements that are similar. There isn’t any family drama here but there is an underground fight scene where anything goes in terms of fight style. However, the premise here is that the fighters don’t fight for themselves (well, not officially anyway) but that they fight for various companies who settle their business disputes via these types of organised “kengan” matches. It eventually reaches a situation where some of the other businessmen wish to get rid of the current Kengan chairman, and so this chairman organises a huge battle royale for any companies that wish to enter. The prize? The owner of the winning company gets to be the next chairman! This sets the stage for a number of one-on-one showdowns between the various fighter representatives. In terms of background stories, we have two main protagonists and their stories. The one is about a salaryman (turned “CEO”) and his life, as well his relationship with his son, and the other is about a fighter and the vendetta he holds against another fighter for a past incident. Personally, I love the way the fights are presented in this show - not only because of the eye-candy - but because it really does feel like you’re at a grand show! Oh, and unlike Baki, at least most of the fighers are adults.

5. Golden Kamuy.

Bring on the boys! Honestly one of the most entertaining shows I’ve watched in a while (and one where I demand that there be another season at least!) and also culturally/historically interesting too. It’s set around the time of the Russo-Japanese war and follows the story of Immortal Sugimoto - a soldier who left active service and finds out that there may be Ainu gold hidden somewhere in Hokkaido. The only problem is that the map has been tattooed in pieces, onto the torsos of various prisoners, most of whom have dispersed to different areas. Nevertheless, thus begins the hunt for the map! Along the way, Sugimoto meets various people along the way - making allies with some and enemies with others - all of whom are associated with each other in interconnecting ways. And all of whom are working toward one goal - get the gold! It’s a brilliant show that’s got some fighting, some mystery, some espionage vibes, some comedy (some of which is could be considered dark and/or weird) and some feels. It balances it all out and makes for an interesting and entertaining watch. Oh, and let’s not forget - a very enjoyable watch too! Mm mm mmm...

6. All Out!!

Another sport anime here, but this time it’s rugby! As someone from a country where rugby is a staple, national sport, this was totally up my ally! The premise is similar to most other school-based sports animes - a kid who’s self-conscious about his height joins the rugby team and learns to get along with the other boys as he trains and works together with them as part of the team. This is not only so that he can help the team improve, but to also prove his own worth. The team goes through training camps and they play against other schools, getting to know some of the opposing teams’ members and establishing some rivalries along the way. It’s pretty typical fare, but damn are these boys stacked! It’s pretty accurate though since rugby is a contact sport which requires some power (and apparently some short, tight shorts) to get the job done. It’s a light watch, but that eye candy is truly sweet!

7. Tiger Mask W.

From rugby to wrestling! This actually a continuation of sorts to the original Tiger Mask and Tiger Mask II series, building on the legacy and keeping related in the same sphere, but not directly incorporating the older characters. Unfortunately, the original series is hella hard to get hold of but even without it, you can watch Tiger Mask W without much of an issue. So the story is about a guy who had decided to join a wrestling gym and was pretty happy there until the gym was destroyed by another rival gym. Vowing to take that other gym down, he strikes out on his own and eventually joins one of the national wrestling associations, working in their match roster. But it’s all so that he can reach his goal of taking down that other gym by defeating the players supported by them. Enter into the ring various wrestling friends and both friendly and unfriendly rivals (including an old friend - bromance anyone?) and you get plenty of matches, plenty of muscles and some satisfying action! They also don’t forget the female wrestlers, which is a nice touch! Another one that’s light enough to enjoy at face value - much like how you’d enjoy real wrestling too.

8. Gifuu Doudou!! Kanetsugu to Keiji. 

A historical vibe with this one - it’s actually based on the spin-off of the original manga, “Keiji” which was created by Tetsuo Hara. And if that name doesn’t ring a bell, check number 10 on this list and you’ll know who I’m talking about - that’s right, it’s the guy who worked on Hokuto no Ken - and that should immediately give you an idea as to why this show is on the list. It’s a period piece about the friendship between Maeda Keiji and Naoe Kanetsugu - both of whom found their accomplishments on the battlefield. It’s told in hindsight, where they sit together, have a drink or three and reminisce about their younger days and what it took to get to where they are now. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but it was pretty entertaining - especially when you see just how clever these guys were when it came to political maneuvering as well as in a fight. Of course, they’re pretty high in the beefcake stakes so if you like your men manly, then you’ve come to the right era. 

9. Dragon Ball series.

I’m pretty sure that I don’t have to talk about this anime, but in the interest of completeness, let me give you the wiki breakdown about what this anime is about: “The series follows the adventures of the protagonist, Son Goku, from his childhood through adulthood as he trains in martial arts. He spents his life far from civilization, until he is found by Bloomer, a teen girl who encourages him to explore the world in search of the seven orbs known as the Dragon Balls, which summon a wish-granting dragon when gathered. Along his journey, Goku makes several friends and battles a wide variety of villains, many of whom also seek the Dragon Balls.” (source). Of course, this is continued throughout the various series that follow, where Goku has his own family etc. But when it comes to the muscle factor in this show, it’s got it where it counts - everywhere! It’s a classic for a reason so even if you aren’t into beefcake guys, you should still probably watch it if you haven’t already.

10. Hokuto no Ken.

It just wouldn’t feel right if I had to leave this off the list because when someone says “manly anime”, I’m betting that 99.9% of the time most people think about Hokuto no Ken / Fist of the North Star. It’s the post-apocalyptic era and times are tough, with everyone fighting to survive with what little there is on the planet. Some guys want to be rulers, some guys want to be thugs, but one guy just wants to find his fiancee and do what he can to right the wrongs of the world and make a difference to the people he meets. That one man is, of course, Kenshiro. It’s full-tilt action, usually incorporating martial arts through the various fighting styles of the characters - whether it’s Hokuto Shinken, Nanto Seiken or sometimes just brute force and good old hand-to-hand combat. There’s a few female characters here and there who also kick ass so it isn’t completely one-sided, but they usually end up getting saved by the dudes so take that with a pinch of salt. Post-apocalyptic world or not, these guys sure can maintain their physiques. And when it comes time for a fight, you best believe they pull no punches! If you like pure fighting animes where you get to see people explode each episode, followed by the most epic line ever said in anime, then this is the one! 

Honourable mentions.

...because, can we really do without more muscular men and women in our lives?

1. Terra Formars - if you’re looking specifically for that muscular vibe, then try season 1. While I enjoyed both, season 1 had better animation (for me) and they all looked badass when defeating those nasty roaches - both the men and the ladies! 2. Hinomaru Sumo - a sports anime that revolves around a newly formed high school sumo club and the career path of the main protagonist. Informative if you don’t know much about sumo and, as expected, loads of meaty guys aiming for victory and aiming for the position of yokozuna. 3. Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - another show that hardly requires an introduction and would probably take way too long to explain considering how many Jojo’s there are, but rest assured, the guys are packed, stacked and ready to attack! 4. One Punch Man - if only because there a few characters who fit the beefcake category perfectly, e.g. Suiryu (hello there!), Garou and Tanktop Master to name a few. An anime that’s some parts serious, some part hilarious but always flipping shounen tropes on its head. 5. Sengoku Basara - also, not completely beefed out, but there are a few characters who would make the grade, e.g. Maeda Keiji (dejavu from number 8?) and Oda Nobunaga. Another period anime, based on a Capcom game, that uses a lot of poetic licence to make it an exciting watch with very memorable characters. 6. Free! - “Make us free na Splash! Kasaneta... 👏 👏 !” Swimmers bodies - that is all. If you’ve ever seen a swimmer’s bodies in real life, you’ll know what I mean ‘cos they have muscles in all the right places. A slice-of-life sports anime that revolves around high school boys (who eventually become college boys) who engage in competitive swimming. 7. Air Master - The ladies take over in this one, which is a show that revolves around street fighting and the goal of those various street fighters and martial artists to become number 1 on the Fukamichi Rankings. It’s more of that underground fight scene vibe but the main protagonist is a gymnast-turned-street fighter who takes on anyone who’ll challenge her (man or woman) and usually kick their ass. It’s got a quirky/weird sense of humour to it, but that’s part of why I liked it.

Well, I’m pretty sure that there are other shows that I’ve missed, and mountains of characters who have that A-grade beef, but I tried to choose shows that specifically have that muscular aesthetic as a default setting in the show. Hopefully I hit the mark here, sharing my faves with you, but if there’s some show or character that I absolutely must see, feel free to let me know! Because just like Tanigaki’s shirt, I’m always open to suggestions.

SONG: Samurai Rock ~ Gifuu Doudou!! ver. [OST ver.]

ARTIST: Koji Kikkawa

It’s very rare when something like this happens. Some will recall when I shared the original version of “Samurai Rock”, the very first song I ever shared on Samurai Music Mondays. Usually, an anime’s theme song is made in time with the show itself. Here, the song was made first, and then an animation studio later asked if they could use it for their anime. And Koji being Koji decided he would recording a unique version just for the anime.

It’s hard to make out, kind of a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it sort of thing. However, this version does have some slightly distorted audio, as well a new harmonizing backtrack. This all might be the influence of KAZSIN, the composer of the OST. The differences are little; it’s virtually unchanged from the original version, but the differences are still there. This is the version you get on the OST. However, there is a Single version that I may share later.

As for the anime itself, there’s not a lot to say. “Gifuu Doudou!! Kanetsugu & Kenji” looks like someone took the character designs from “Fist of the North Star” and “Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure” and used them to recant some popular samurai folktales with a little bit of fantasy and fun. The action isn’t as great, the anime itself is subpar, but it’s still very handsome to look at. The episodes are available on Crunchyroll!

Castsize: A Stroll Through Asakusa-bashi with Ino Hiroki.

This time, we walked around Asakusa Bridge, also known as the wholesale district, with Ino Hiroki. However, with Akibahara just around the corner, as our journey steadily went on, shops with the lingering fragrances of the Showa era and new shops where youngsters gather came together in harmony,  creating a fascinating street.

"This is my first time coming to Asakusa. I've been to the next station, Akibahara, to buy electronics and also to the practice venues there but the aura here is completely different."

The first store we visited was a general store that sold christmas decorations and such. While we looked at the displays, I asked about his christmas memories.

"Christmas decorations were always put up when I was a kid. The most memorable present I got was a hamster. I kept saying I wanted to get a pet, but because I lived in an apartment building, I couldn't keep a cat or a dog. However, a hamster was fine. I named it Muu-chan and cared for it a lot."

As he talked about this, he took a stocking and put his foot in, and took pictures happily with the cameraman.

"This is a date, isn't it?"

"Ah, can I try putting this on?"

He looked like he had a lot of fun as he gave suggestions for various poses. By the way, Ino's spirit of service was really enthusiastic. Even the staff with Ino at the photoshoot always had a smile on their face.

We left the shop and continued walking through the street at Asakusa Bridge, relaxed. And then, we saw a cat! When we asked him if he is usually liked by cats and animals, he replied, "I like animals, but they don't like me at all. I'm the type of person who gets barked at by dogs (laughs). Today is a miracle!" He touched the tail of the cat that came up to his side, reluctant to leave as we had to go on with our walk.

"On my regular day offs, I go on walks a lot. I've been busy recently so I haven't been able to do it, but I like going to Yoyogi Park. If I'm feeling good, I'll get a drink or some food and have a stroll in Yoyogi Park. On a clear day like today, I would grab my camera and run out of the house."

Up till the day before the day of this interview, there had been an unseasonal typhoon, but when the morning came, the typhoon had gone, and there wasn't a single cloud in the clear blue sky. With the comfortable sunlight and pleasant temperature, it was a perfect day for a walk.

"Also, on my day offs, I go shopping too. I like clothes, so I'd go to Harajuku to look at clothes, and then maybe go to Yoyogi Park. I've only been able to buy one winter clothing so after the stage, Gifuu Doudou!!, is over, I plan to go shopping for winter clothes as a reward for myself."

Ino plays the main character, Naoe Kanetsugu, in the stage play Gifuu Doudou!!. It's a  manly story written by the manga writer, Hara Tetsuo, of history and generals. How did Ino plan to play this part?

"I've read the original manga before, and Naoe Kanetsugu has a good personality, doesn't he? (stuff about Gifuu Doudou!! and Naoe that I can't understand)

When we started talking about stage plays, his footsteps got lighter and his smile was as brilliant as a child's. Especially when he said "Because I have a lot of senpai~", his footsteps got a little faster, and conveyed how fun it is getting to work with his senpai. In other words, when he acts with male actors he doesn't feel out of place with them.

"Gifuu Doudou!! is about people with intense pressure, and since it's a story from the warring states period, once there is an opening, you're bound to lose. However, for example when he makes eye contact with his opponent and they look away, Naoe Kanetsugu's intensity can be shown. That sort of urgency and tension is essential, as through the brawl, can the masculinity be portrayed."

As we talked, we arrived at Ginnanokayahata Shrine. He spent a quite a long time praying, but after he said that he wished for peace and tranquility for his family. Also, at the shrine, there was another cat, but this one wouldn't let him touch it... a pity.

Starting in February 2018, Ino would be in the stage play Ookiku Furikabutte, as Abe Takaya. I then asked him about this. It is a production about high school baseball, and he would play as the catcher.

"A catcher's form for catching is difficult. During the photoshoot for the visuals, I put on the protective gear for catchers and it was heavier than I expected. I then thought that being a catcher was rough. Putting on and taking off a catcher's mask is also unexpectedly difficult. I have to get used to being able to put it on myself for the actual stage, so I definitely have to practice that."

I asked him what kind of sports he did when he was in high school.

"In middle school, I played handball, and in high school, I played field hockey. That's why I like being active. With the cast members of Engeki Haikyuu, we played futsal, table tennis, and often went to play with everyone. When going to hang out with just boys, getting competitive is fun."

He does many physically active stage plays, and is active in his private life as well. It seems like he did many physically active stage plays in 2017. We asked him what kind of year 2017 has been up till this point, and what kind of year he wants 2018 to be.

"This year, there were many long-run stages, so actually I was not involved in many productions. But I had a lot of time to think carefully about a single thing. In 2016, I was able to do many things, and in 2017 I was able to strengthen the things I learnt. This year I turned 25, and once again I had to become more of a grown up and take that step up. In 2018, I'm hoping I am able to push my limits."

As I listened to him talk about this, we reached our final destination - a cafe to eat hotcakes.

"This is delicious! This hotcake is delicious."

Seeing him eat full of joy made us happy too. And actually, when he was looking at the menu, he kept looking over and asking "What should I get?"

"Is it alright if I get not just the hotcakes, but a cake too?"

Sure, sure, go ahead (laughs).

"I usually like sweet things, so wherever I go, I have to eat dessert."

We were given the chance to have a glimpse of the many sides of ino: the Ino who has a big smile on his face, the Ino that talks about stage plays, and also Ino who stands gallantly on stage. With these many sides of Ino, we were able to understand the charm of Ino Hiroki. We're even more excited to see what Ino Hiroki would do in 2018.

Anime I’ve Watched

Okay, here’s this massive post!

My roomie/best friend, Amanda, has gotten me into watching new anime as it comes out every season. We’ve been doing this since college, either 8 or 9 years ago, and it’s accumulated in a crapton of shows that we’ve watched. Obviously I’ve liked some more than others, and I can’t remember every single show I’ve watched, and with so many to list, it’s hard to think of shows I’ve seen when people ask me.

So I’m going to use this as a way to track all the shows I’ve watched!

I’m going to list shows that I’ve seen more than just a few episodes of. There are a ton of shows I’ve started watching, but then quit. Those aren’t going to count here.

Also, I’m going to use the titles I’m used to, so there will likely be a lot of Japanese titles of shows that I’ve noticed are more popular with the English title. I honestly don’t know the English title of some of them. XD;; It’s just how I’ve watched them. I will add akas where there is more than one version of the title.

I’ve watched all of these in Japanese, unless I specify that I watched it in English. The first few shows I watched in my life were in English, and so I tend to only watch those in English even now, but now I’m a Japanese snob and refuse to watch dubs. XD

Los Manga ‘Gurren Lagann Kessen! Otoko-gumi Hen’ y ‘Tenimuho’ se acercan a su fin

El Manga de Gurren Lagann es la tercera adaptación de su serie de drama CD  

La edición de junio de la revista Monthly Hero's de Shogakukan ha revelado el que los Manga de Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Kessen! Otoko-gumi Hen de Kazuki Nakashima y Saki Nonoyama, y Tenimuho -Mushibo Benkei de Gibon y Yuuji Takemura alcanzarán su conclusión en la siguiente edición de la revista, a la venta el primero de junio. 

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann Kessen! Otoko-gumi Hen es el tercero y final trabajo en serie spinoff de drama CDs de Otoko de la franquicia Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. En el Manga y el drama CD, los corazones de Kamina y Simon se alejan entre si debido al misterio que rodea al pan yakisoba completamente vendido en la tienda de la Academia Dai-Gurren. Un pequeño desgarro en sus vínculos hará estallar un gran problema en poco tiempo.  

Nonoyama lanzó el Manga en la revista Monthly Hero en junio del 2015. Shogakukan puso a la venta el tercer tomo recopilatorio de la serie el pasado 3 de febrero.

Nonoyama ya ha adaptado en Manga otras dos historias de drama CD Otoko. Nonoyama lanzó el Manga de un tomo de Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Otoko Ippiki-hen en la revista Monthly Hero's en agosto del 2013. La historia toma al reparto del Anime de robots de Gainax y lo pone en el Japón moderno. La serie sigue las aventuras de Kamina y otros personajes que asisten a la Academia Dai-Gurren.

Nonoyama después lanzó el Manga de tres tomos de Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: Otoko Doahou!-hen en diciembre del 2013 y lo finalizó en abril del 2015. El Manga re-imagina a los personajes del Anime como jugadores de béisbol en la Academia Dai-Gurren, y ellos conocen a un misterioso hombre viejo sobre un tazón de ramen con carne de cerdo asado.

La historia del Manga de Tenimuho -Musashibo Benkei se centra en la figura histórica Japonesa de Musashibou Benkei. Se ubica durante la era Heian, Benkei es un monje guerrero viviendo con una secta budista dirigida por Honen of Mount Hiei. En algún punto, él se inquieta por el gran poder que permanece dentro suyo sin ser usado. Un día, Honen lleva a Benkei y la los monjes con él a descender la montaña, y Benkei encuentra su razón para vivir.

Gibon y Takemura lanzaron el Manga en la revista Monthly Hero's en 2013, y Shogakukan puso a la venta el octavo tomo de la serie el pasado 3 de febrero. 

El Manga Gifuu Doudou!! Naoe Kanetsugu -Maeda Keiji Tsuki-gatari de Takemura inspiró un Anime para televisión en 2013.
