The Dangers in My Heart

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2023

The Dangers in My Heart (Season 1, 2023, Japan)

Director: Hiroaki Akagi

Writer: Jukki Hanada (based on the manga by Norio Sakurai)

Mini-review:

I didn't even know this anime existed until a few days ago, so imagine my surprise when I started watching and realized it might just be one of the best of the season. I'm sure some people will be put off by the initial premise, but luckily, the synopsis is nothing but a façade that's quickly deconstructed. Once that's done, we're left with one of the sweetest romcoms I've seen. It's also one of the awkwardest ones, and I mean that in the best of ways. The romance is a classic slowburn, and it's bolstered by some flawless character development. In fact, I was surprised by how good the overall writing is. The show just understands what being a teenager is like. For example, the comedy is built from the perfect mixture of awkwardness, silliness and horniness. I swear I heard some of the same jokes in my classroom when I was the same age as these characters. I imagine some people will dislike the level of horniness the humor reaches at some points, but I think it's incredibly realistic, so it didn't bother me at all. Anyway, I'm glad they already announced a second season, cause those final moments left me feeling all warm inside and I need more of these characters.

New Yuri Mystery Game from 'Flowers' Writer Releases in Japan this Month

El Dia announced a new Yuri mystery adventure visual novel Kanda Alice mo Suiri Suru which will be released for Nintendo Switch in late April. The game's scenario is written by Hatsumi Shimizu, who also wrote the Flowers series, The Curse of Kudan, and contributed to Yumeutsutsu Re:Master.

The game follows the title character Alice Kanda, who is anxious about entering her first year at Miyukinomori Girls' High School. To make matters worse, her best friend, Akira Hodaka, has to leave her spot on the archery club after being accused of wrecking the club's chances at a championship cup.

Together the girls seek out a rumored fortune-teller in the tea ceremony club at the back of the school grounds they heard about from one of their classmates. Upon arriving, the two meet an astoundingly beautiful and otherwordly woman with long black hair, Houju Sawaragi. She asks, "What can you not bear to have taken from you?"

This twilight encounter restarts a heart that had once come to a halt.

Kanda Alice mo Suiri Suru is described by the developer as a short adventure and will sell for 1,500 Yen ($14 US). It features artwork by Akinashi Yuu. The cast includes:

Kana Ichinose as Alice Kanda

Akari Kitou as Akira Hodaka

Yui Ishikawa as Sawaragi Houju

Akira Sekine as Kasuga Eri

Hiyori Kouno as Yurika Kino

Rika Abe as Aoi Miyahara

Honoka Inoue as Kanan Tsurumi

Yuuna Kamakura as Asuka Tsutsumori

There are currently no announced plans for an English adaptation of the visual novel.

[sinemoras09]

You seem to read alot of manga. Do you have any recommendations for the hiatus?

Sorry for not answering this question sooner anon! My inbox got kind of unwieldy and I’m only just now beginning to tackle it.

I have A TON of manga recs, but for the purposes of this ask I’m going to list a few lesser known titles - ones that don’t have an anime but are completed.

I Am A Hero (Complete)

The zombie apocalypse comes to Japan. Great on character interaction, the manga deals pretty realistically at how people would react during a zombie apocalpyse, and how the threat doesn’t necessarily come from zombies, but from other people. (Seinen, psychological, horror.)

Sekine-kun No Koi (Complete)

A lonely businessman finds love. Again, this is another very character-driven manga, which I love. The protagonist is achingly lonely and shy and the misunderstandings that drive a wedge between him and his love interest are done very realistically. There’s no rom-com shenanigans, only the slow progression of two people coming together. (Josei, drama, romance)

Oyasumi Punpun (Complete)

Domestic violence, murder, and suicide all play a role in Inio Asano’s masterpiece, which is ostensibly about a boy coming-of-age and the girl he loves, but is more about the fragile mental state of our protagonist as he grows into young adulthood. I marathoned the whole thing in one weekend and swore never to read it again, only to find myself returning to it because of how much it affected me. It’s disturbing but hopeful at the end, and it’s worth the read at least once. (Seinen, psychological)

A Girl on the Shore (Complete)

Also by Inio Asano, A Girl on the Shore tells the story of a girl and a boy and their friends-with-benefits situation, and all the emotional landmines that come with it. The manga really mines all the ways people can hurt each other with just a few choice words, and how careless actions can leave a strong impact. It also shows how two people can be physically intimate but emotionally walled off. (Seinen, drama)

My Lovely Ghost Kana (Complete)

One of my all-time favorites.A young man rents an apartment and finds it’s haunted by the ghost of a girl who committed suicide. He’s also in a bad way, but because of her company he feels less alone; they end up having sex, and slowly embark on a new relationship. Even though it is an ecchi manga, the way they depict sex is really tender and sweet. The characters genuinely love each other, and honestly it’s more slice of life with sex on the side. (Ecchi, seinen, romance)

Hope this helps, anon! :D

Kendi arkadaşıma bile (çarşaflı) Suriyelileri neden ülkemizde misafir etmemiz gerektiğini açıklamak zorunda kalıyorum.. Bunun üzerine Arap kökenli misin onları bu kadar savunuyorsun diye bir yanıt alıyorum. (Sadece ırkçı değilim) oysaki kendisi Libya doğumlu.. Suriyelilere yapılan bu ırkçı yaklaşımların Suriyeli olmalarıyla yakından uzaktan ilgisi yok. Irak'lı da olsa, Yemen'li de olsa, Filistin'de olsa bu insanlar aynı muameleyi göreceklerdi, çünkü tefrikaya düştük.. Bencilleştik, vicdanımızı ve merhametimizi yitirdik.. Suriyeli birisi bir suç işlese bütün bir halka mal ettik. Bir Türk aynı suçlu işlese sadece suçluya küfrettik.. Suçun; dili, dini, rengi olmadığı gibi, ülkesi de yoktur.. Birkaç kendini bilmezin yaptığı hatayı veya suçu bütün bir halkın suçuymuş gibi gösteremeyiz.. Yemen'de bir çocuk açlıktan ölüyorsa, Filistin'de, müslümanlar zulüm görüyorsa, Irak'da kadınlara tecavüz ediliyorsa, Mısır mahkemelerinde suçsuz Yusuf'lar öldürülüyorsa bunda hepimizin suçu var. Ve biz hala ülkemizde yaşam mücadelesi veren (inanlar kardeştir) kardeşlerimizin soluduğu havayı bile çok görüyoruz... Arap zenginleri için üretilen pırlanta kaplamalı otomobiller, Yemen'de açlıktan ölen bir çocuğun hakkını ödemeye yeter mi? Havaya kaldırılan kılıçların gölgesinde yapılan dansların hesabını Zülfikar sormaz mı? Aylan bebek, hakkın divanında intikamını almaz mı sanıyorsunuz.. Bunca ahın hesabı sorulmaz mı, Kana doyan toprakları ölümü sanıyorsunuz? Muhammed Musri ölmedi, Şehid edildi, Hamza gibi, Osman gibi, Ali, Hasan ve Hüseyn gibi... Ömer Halis gibi, Feti sekin, Eren bülbül, Yasin Börü gibi... Şehid edilenler ve onları Şehid edenler, dünden bugüne hiç değişmedi... Düşman düşmanlığını yapadursun, biz hala bizden olan Suriyeliler'le uğraşalım.. Buna bir de isim koyalım "Suriyeli Müslümanlar" ülkelerine geri dönsün..

Şuur ver Allahım.. Birlik ver..

Selam olsun, Muhammed 's.a.v' ümmetinin gariblerine.. Selam olsun, zulmü taşlayan aşıkların yüreklerine...

Aoi Yuuki, Asami Shimoda, Marina Inoue, Megumi Han and Yukari Tamura are the only women I’ve found so far that play both male and female characters. 2. Listen to the differences between Taishi Murata’s characters. His range never ceases to amaze... the only English voice actors with similar ranges (that I know of) are Ben Diskin and Sean Chiplock. 3. On the female side, Umeka Shouji has a surprisingly large range. I’ve mostly heard her play deeper-voiced roles, and then Corona shows up... 4. I love Hiro Shimono’s evil laugh. He doesn’t go all out with Loki, but he sounds like an insane seagull when he does. 5. As a mythology fangirl, I’m a little annoyed by all the changes. Frey, Mani and Vali are supposed to be male; Skuld is supposed to be a Norn (with Verdandi and Urd); Hel, Fenrir and Jormungand are supposed to be Loki and Angrboda’s kids; Idun is supposed to be Bragi’s wife; Thrud is supposed to be Thor’s daughter and Magni and Modi his sons. I’ll update this “lore correction” once I find more characters.

The Dangers in My Heart (Season 2)

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

The Dangers in My Heart (Season 2, 2024, Japan)

Director: Hiroaki Akagi

Writer: Jukki Hanada (based on the manga by Norio Sakurai)

Mini-review:

Now this is how you make a second season: it takes everything that made the first one so charming and then elevates it to the next level. Few shows capture the awkwardness and cringiness of being 13/14 like The Dangers in My Heart. The humor and the character writing are just so realistic, even if it gets a bit over-the-top at times (and that's part of its charm too!). This season also ramps up the angstiness, especially during the last few episodes, and it all leads up to a gorgeous finale. I know the manga is still ongoing, but if the anime ends here, at least it went out in style and cemented itself as one of the best anime romcoms of all time. Still, I really do hope we get more seasons.

angela pondrá el tema musical de la película titulado “Calling you”.

La película contará con una “totalmente nueva historia”: En un futuro lejano de tecnológica, la civilización ha alcanzado su forma definitiva basada en la red. Una "infección" en el pasado hizo que los sistemas automatizados queden fuera de servicio, lo que resultó en una ciudad con una estructura de múltiples niveles que se replica a sí misma hasta el infinito en todas las direcciones. Ahora la humanidad ha perdido el acceso a los controles de la ciudad, y es perseguida y purgada por el sistema de defensa conocido como Safeguard. En un pequeño rincón de la ciudad, un pequeño terreno conocido como Electro-Fishers se enfrenta a una eventual extinción, atrapado entre la amenaza de Safeguard y la disminución de los suministros de alimentos. Una chica llamada Zuru va en un viaje en busca de alimento para su pueblo, sólo para causar inadvertidamente fatalidad cuando una torre de observación la detecta y convoca un equipo de Safeguard para eliminar la amenaza. Con sus compañeros muertos y todas las rutas de escape bloqueadas, lo único que puede salvarla ahora es la llegada repentina de Killy el vagabundo, en su búsqueda de los "Genes" con conexión a la red, la clave para restaurar el orden en el mundo.

La historia original gira entorno a Killy, un aventurero y su búsqueda a través de La Ciudad para encontrar "Genes" con conexión a la red. La Ciudad, que es el lugar donde transcurre toda la historia, es una construcción que envuelve la Tierra formando una esfera de dimensiones desconocidas, formada por gigantescos sectores o plantas una sobre la otra. Estos grandes sectores, formados a su vez por miles de niveles, cavernas y estructuras, están separados entre sí por barreras infranqueables conocidas como megaestructuras, totalmente inmunes a armas convencionales e imposibles de taladrar o atravesar de modo alguno. Si Killy va a encontrar el tesoro que busca, va a necesitar más ayuda y la información que los habitantes de las regiones en las que explora puedan ofrecer. Él tiene que encontrar un grupo más grande de civilización, pero va a tener que sobrevivir a su viaje para llegar allí, primero...

Nihei publicó el Manga original en la revista Monthly Afternoon en 1997, y lo finalizó en 2003. El Manga ya ha inspirado una serie de ONAs en 2003, y los estudios Micott y Basara (Appleseed) anunciaron en 2007 que la obra tenia una película en gráficos por computadora (CG) en proceso. Sin embargo, el proyecto no se pudo realizar ya que Micott y Basara se declararán en quiebra en 2011.
