Youkai Hunter - Yami no Kyakujin

Author(s): Morohoshi Daijirou (Story), Inoue Junya (Artist)

Genre: Horror, Seinen, Supernatural

Status: Completed (1 Volume) - No scanlations

Description:

Hieda-sensei is a professor of archeology, with a fervent belief in the existence and power of supernatural creatures such as gods and demons. Since he can't prove anything, his belief has earned him the mocking nickname Youkai Hunter from his colleagues. One day, two men from Ootori-chou come to visit him. They're planning to promote tourism by reviving their town's old, traditional Demon Festival, which was discontinued a century ago. They're basing the festival on Hieda's research, although they're changing a few details to make it flashier for modern sightseers. Although Hieda is troubled by the history of human death associated with the festival, he agrees to attend as an advisor. When the Demon Festival turns out to be much more historically accurate than anyone ever dreamed, it will take all of Hieda's knowledge and courage to help set things right! The 1974 classic Youkai Hunter is now updated with a new artist's fresh take on the story!

I saw some caps and wow, the updated art style is really great - it is the same mangaka of Btooom! (granted am not a fan of Btooom but I still like this mangaka's art style). If you’re into classic horror manga or folklore-based stories, this is one to keep an eye on.

Pop Team Epic Season 2 Cast

Since the season isn't done yet, I'll be updating this later. Look forward to that!

Note:

Cast will be listed as the following order: Popuko and Pipimi

I will italicize which ones out of the episode I prefer more. The purpose of this is for those who only want to watch one part (since A and B are the exact same except for the voices and ad-libs)

If both are italicized, that means I liked both enough to vouch for watching both

If neither are italicized, that means I haven’t watched the episode yet.

Reasoning and my favourite roles will be listed under the cut if I wish to do so.

Episode 1:

A) Aya Hirano and Minori Chihara

B) Kazuhiko Inoue and Ryo Horikawa

Episode 2

A) Romi Paku and Rie Kugimiya

B) Nobuyuki Hiyama and Toshiyuki Morikawa

Episode 3

A) Ikue Ootani and Inuko Inuyama

B) Junya Enoki and Yuuma Uchida



Comments:

Episode 1:

A) The amount of joy I had watching this episode was

Episode 1:

A) It was a joy watching this pairing. This pairing is particularly known for Haruhi Suzumiya. It felt like watching something straight out of the late 2000s or something. They played off each other so well. Their bit at the end was also really sweet.

B) It’s not that I didn’t enjoy this pairing, but I thought they could’ve been even crazier with it considering the nature of the show. I feel like they probably had more significant roles together in the same show, but the first thing that came to mind for me was Naruto since they played Kakashi and Itachi respectively.

Episode 2:

The writing in this episode had significantly choppier writing. By that, I mean it was far less consistent in terms of getting laughs. Some segments felt like a waste of time.

A) At first, I felt like the roles should’ve been reversed UNTIL I REALIZED IT FIT PERFECTLY. Romi Paku plays the short blond Edward Elric and Rie Kugimiya plays the taller and blue Alphonse Elric. I was a fool. Their segments were genuinely good.

B) They were also really good, but I don’t recall a famous show that I’ve watched with this pairing since it was probably before my time.

Episode 3:

I really like the obvious spoof to Dora the Explorer. It was funny. "Can you point out the filthy old geezer as we chop his [bleep] off?"

A) OH MY FRICKING GOODNESS, THEY GOT PIKACHU AND MEOWTH!!! Yeah, it was fun to watch. They played off each other well. I thought this was going to be an easy win for the other side, but it was pretty much even. The only thing that made part B better were the ad-libs.

B) They are a well-known pairing as of recent anime like Jujutsu Kaisen and Kono Oto Tomare, but I wasn't prepared for how many funny ad-libs they were going to make. I mean, the amount of dick and other dirty jokes were hilarious. When I said this one was gonna be good, I MEANT IT. 110%. This actually made me smile all of the way through even when it wasn’t supposed to be particularly funny. I know not all of their ad-libs made it in (according to them), but they let in SO MANY AD-LIBS. IT WAS AMAZING. That's the only reason why I bolded them.

Great Guitarists 100 - The Strokes, The Libertines, Slipknot, Omar Rodríguez-López, Nick Zinner, Franz Ferdinand, Sergio Pizzorno, and Arctic Monkeys [CROSSBEAT (November 2009)]

The Strokes It goes without saying that The Strokes defined the sound of indie rock in the 00s. The same goes for the guitar sound. When they first emerged, the scene was dominated by big rap metal and rambling ballad bands. Albert Hammond Jr. and Nick Valensi's guitars, with their solid, raw, direct-amped tone and concise, no-nonsense riffs, served as a clear counterpoint to the times and reminded people of the excitement of primitive rock 'n' roll. The highlight of the debut album, which set the era in motion, was the flowing rhythm guitars that created a rapid, forward groove. After that, however, they pursued a completely different sound, determined not to repeat the same thing. The third album, which makes full use of strange synth-imitating guitar sounds and metal-style single-note playing, is a unique and distinctive work. -Yoshiharu Kobayashi

Best-known albums "Is This It" (2001, photo) The Strokes "First Impressions of Earth" (2006)

The Libertines The Libertines were undoubtedly the ignition point for the guitar band boom in the UK in the 00s. Of course, Pete Doherty and Carl Barât were not good guitarists, nor did they create any innovative techniques. But the raw, crude guitar sound of their debut was Britain's first response to the worldwide rock 'n' roll revival. In fact, the variety of guitar phrases, which were at once madly romantic and evocative of the rich history of British music, gave the band a unique character that could stand up to rivals from around the world. On the second album, the performances deteriorated fiercely, but the rawness of the music was much improved. The guitar sound, which seemed to document the band in the state of being wounded to the bone at the time, had a more true beauty to it. -Yoshiharu Kobayashi

Representative albums "Up The Bracket" (2002, photo) The Libertines "The Libertines" (2004)

Slipknot Slipknot now boasts worldwide popularity. The guitarists responsible for their unique and deep heavy rock are James Root (#4) and Mick Thomson (#7). Both are intimidatingly big men and extremely technical players. The band's playing, basically in heavy tuning with all strings down one and a half notes and the sixth string down another, is varied, with aggressive and rhythmic riffs, tricky fast playing and the fluid lead parts that have become more prominent since the third album. The extremely precise picking is also worth noting. Mick has a background as a guitar teacher, and James is also active in Stone Sour with Corey Taylor (vocals). The guitar playing of these two, backed up by their high skills, is sublimated into an original sound. -Koichi Inoue

Representative albums "Iowa" (2001, photo) Slipknot "Stone Sour" (2002) Stone Sour

Omar Rodríguez-López Omar Rodríguez's psychedelic playing takes the listener into another dimension. He is now recognised as one of the guitar heroes. Surprisingly, however, Omar himself declares that he does not consider himself a guitarist. Rather, the guitar is his enemy. His ally is his more than 500 effects pedals, including delays and fuzz. Omar attacks the guitar with his numerous pedals. The guitar sounds are distorted, twisted and manipulated to the point that they no longer retain their original form, and they sound far outside the bounds of existing guitar playing and beyond even the player's intentions. When it matches Omar's imagination, he has triumphed with the guitar. In terms of the guitar's possibilities, no other player has continued to push them as far as Omar has. -Junya Shimofusa

Nick Zinner The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are noted for Karen O's freaky presence, but in terms of sound, this guy is definitely more bombastic. In a band without a bassist, Nick uses two amplifiers to increase the sound pressure. He moves freely back and forth from spacey to straight-ahead rock, such as the contrast between the stillness and movement of "Maps" and the solid riffs of "Date with the Night". His excellent sense of balance, honed as a bridge between drummer Brian Chase, who has a background in free jazz, and Karen, an uninhibited performer, has resulted in a style in which, despite being a guitarist, he has a bird's eye view of the whole sound. In the new album "It's Blitz!" he surprised everyone with its extensive use of synths, but it was also a testament to his talent that his guitar playing seemed to have increased in power from time to time. He is one of the leading avant-garde artistic guitarists of his generation. -Hitoshi Sugiyama

Franz Ferdinand Franz Ferdinand turned the seeds of indie guitar rock sown in the early 00s into a commercial success. Their greatest weapon is probably their sharp-edged guitar riffs with a strong post-punk influence, as in "Take Me Out". Alex Kapranos and Nick McCarthy, like The Libertines, are not technical guitarists. However, their sharp riffs complement each other like a puzzle, creating a vivid contrast and a strong groove. The way in which they create impact through their odd combinations is very 00s, and has had a significant impact on the following generation. In fact, after Franz's breakthrough, the differentiation between lead and rhythm guitar became less significant. The golden rule of pop music is that "no matter where you cut it, it's always complete", and they applied this to guitars, opening the door to the 'era of rock and roll dancing'. -Hitoshi Sugiyama

Representative albums "Franz Ferdinand" (2004, photo) Franz Ferdinand "You Could Have It So Much Better" (2005)

Sergio Pizzorno The main guitar is an original specification with a unit built into a Rickenbacker bass body. The same old 'no more than others' attitude is clearly evident in the way he handles the guitar on his studio albums. The difference between him and the older generation, who would just record one smooth shot and be done with it, is evident in his thorough editing mania. Phrases taken into the sampler are chopped into pieces and function as the building blocks of a song. He will even chop a recorded band sound to shreds in order to get the groove he is after. On the other hand, he is also a keen student of 60s psychedelic and krautrock. He has a vivid method of blending the rawness of vintage effects pedals and the metallic resonance of single-coil pickups with the beat of the beat. At recent shows, for some reason, he tends to leave the lead to the support guitarist. I wish he would step forward and play more aggressively. -Masatoshi Arano

Representative albums "Kasabian" (2004, photo) Kasabian "West Ryder Pauper Lunatic Asylum" (2009)

Arctic Monkeys Like Lily Allen, the Arctic Monkeys built up a solid fan base via MySpace in the early days of their career, and their biggest appeal was that they were, after all, "rock icons chosen by listeners", but of course there was more. From their debut, their guitars reflect a wealth of musical knowledge, including covers of 60s soul, while at the same time carrying the romanticism of a pimple-faced young man, and they are the pioneers of the current scene, absorbing hip-hop, dance music, classic rock and many other cultures through their skin. On their latest album, both Alex Turner and Jamie Cook are more musically adventurous than most, with heavy, psychedelic guitar riffs. The intro to "A Saturday Romance", which is always played at the end of the show, is one of the best scenes to come out of the late 00s. -Hitoshi Sugiyama

Representative albums "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" (2006, photo) Arctic Monkeys "Humbug" (2009)

Translator's Note: Yeah, by this point, I think either the editors got lazy by shoving the whole band into the catergory or there weren't that many individual guitarists in the 00s era that were regarded to be worthy of taking the title of being a great guitarist. But, given that this article was from 2009, maybe stuff had changed by then to relook and reassess on any great guitarists that emerged in the 2010s.

And that's it for this series, I'll be moving onto the next ones that I've already scanned into my computer.

[bwaylover1993]

I’ve been debating on doing this, but I thought “you know what? I’m gonna do it!”

I did a similar project for Ikeda Junya, so I thought I would do it for Masahiro Inoue-san!

Huge note: if anyone is going to Power Morphicon this year, and they have a ticket to meet Inoue-san, I want you to give this gift to him. So DM me your mailing address so that I can mail the final project to you.

Comment on this post, or on my recent post on Instagram (bwaylaura), or on my Twitter (HobbitLaura) what you love about Inoue-san. Once I put it in the book, I’ll credit you with your social media.

Also note, everything will be translated, so I apologize if it’s not entirely accurate.

I promise to have this finished before August (when Power Morphicon arrives)

Thanks y’all!

[asknarashikari]

this is kinda funny

He's basically asking why was there a lot of response to the Shinobi Spin off (Tycoon meets Shinobi i think) and not him being appointed as KR Ambassador lol

I could think of at least four people who would be a better fit for that job than Sou XD

1 - Hiroshi Fujioka. DUH. He may be getting on in the years but he's always up to the task, so we may as well have the OG repping the Riders, no?

2 - Masahiro Inoue. He's fucking Decade. 'Nuff said.

3- Shun Nishime. Probably the guy who's reprised his role the most often since his own show barring the aforementioned Pinky.

4 - Junya Komatsu. The actual, official ambassador of the Ishinomori Manga Museum who hails from the same hometown as the creator of Kamen Rider and became a Kamen Rider himself.

(You can tell who I am biased for lol)
