@dnangelic liked this post for a starter.

                     ‶  ... those wings are real, aren't they?  ″ wonderful. another thing he must keep an eye or for. while it doesn't show on his face, he immediately feels his stress levels rising. the immediate assumption is the presence of this person is due to haruhi; it's always haruhi. please... please don't tell him this boy has an interest in speaking with his brigade leader. ——— that'd be such an troublesome thing to deal with this evening. well, at least he can be thankful he was likely the first member of their little club to run into this particular phenomena.

[galaxofmuses]

Sonic expected to be back in Shibuya and drop by to say hi, but he actually stumbles into something else, something that is...familiar. With a furrowed brow to see...

badniks.

The hedgehog looks baffled that these robots should not appear in this world, unless a certain doctor decided to track him down through a warp ring. That one thought made him even more worried and now that his new friends are in danger.

With no time to waste, he starts to take one of them down, but it suddenly forms into.....monsters? demons? With a surprised gasp and absolutely baffled at the sight as he dodges their attacks and tries at attempt a kick.

....it did not affect any damage, just..barely.

"What? These guys are tougher then they look."

Looking up at the futuristic looking screens turned on into static and transfers into an unwelcoming sight.

"N-Nega?!"

The doctor who is seemingly looking at the mobian with a grin.

'Ah yes the blue pest is here out to ruin my plans of conquest, don't stand there! Get them!"

Sonic didn't really have a choice to run to the nearest exit and trying to find a place to hide. To his luck that he found a safe place and catches his breath.

Looking up to see well....a stranger? or maybe more?

"H-Hey, sorry to interrupt, but didn't know there's a masquerade going on?"

-

Meanwhile...outside of the Palace.

Eggman is already starting to make connections with the crowds of Shibuya and showing off his robot inventions, well the non lethal ones. To everyone's surprise that he picks up the language pretty well, heck he even has a robot translator to help him which draws the crowd even more. Wearing proper suit and explaining that these machines will change their lives forever. With no hedgehog to stop them, his plan is going perfectly in place. Eggman starts to think about a certain mobian.

'Wherever that hedgehog is, I should thank him for showing me this place. Once I take over this country.'

 Meeting Gonta’s prestigious human family AU (based on the TDP/DRS universe)

 I think that if Ouma were to meet Gonta’s human family they’d hate him since he’s so annoying lol. They’d especially not like him if he and Gonta were dating since, they likely expect Gonta to marry a girl so he can continue the family line. 

 But yeah, since Ouma’s so openly confrontational compared to Gonta, I wonder what his interactions with them would be like. And since they’re a rich prestigious family, you could imagine Ouma seeing himself as a thief stealing Gonta away from them.(since you know... phantom thieves are known for specifically stealing from rich estates)

 Which is especially fitting given that on TDP, Ouma basically tells Gonta that they aren’t meant to be with each other since he’s not a gentleman like Gonta is. So, he’d feel like the “bad boy” taking their innocent son away from them.

 Here’s the parts where Gonta references his human family for context. There’s also a part on Salmon Team where Gonta implies that his family likes to test him on his common sense a random times, which explains why he has a complex with feeling stupid. 

(Keep in mind that Gonta spoke normal Japanese in the original so, there’s no actual reason for his family to see him as stupid. He’s actually a little too smart given his circumstances. He does speak in third person but, in Japanese fiction that’s meant to make characters cute, not stupid. For example, Tenko and Angie also spoke in 3rd person in the jp ver)

Goro Akechi (Phantom Thief Ver.) - Persona 5 Nendoroid Figurine

[tyran-the-tyranical]

I love seeing people post abt what song gives off certain characters vibes, tbh this is a good one for Raphael;

Another one that’s also kinda a bop is ‘The Hell of It’ from phantom of the paradise, but it’s in a completely different way than ‘Trust me I’m a Thief is’ , it’s honestly if great if you kill Raphael and listen to it lol (Also just gonna plug it here but that movie is great too, it’s literally just Faust x Phantom of the Opera but as a comedy lol)

Addidtionally, after reading Raphaels diary, him being the "the most careful of fishermen" think Kashmirs (Slight return Ver.) song called Miss You really hits. It's a bit off the walls in a general context of Raphael, BUT, in relation to his diaries, it goes so good, like the lyrics "Among the few indulgent sailors, I am the patient one" and "There's a shark deep down under, I try to call her name, But the dark waters between us, Makes me call in vain" Like obvs in his diaries Tav and co are referred to as 'fish' not sharks BUT YOU GET THE IDEA.

Another REALLY good song from the Guggenheim Grotto is ‘Wonderful Wizard’ very Gale coded and the line where he's like "Or a mother who'd give away her own" never stops reminding me of Elminster describing meeting Gale for the first time AHHHH, I’ve been wanting to make an animation for it but my computer is busted so rip, here it is tho:

Season 3 Ramble#6 - Just Jump In! ver.3

This month’s episode is about the jump magazine line published by Shueisha(spell). I've done this twice before, hence v.3 but this time I decided to focus on all their magazine lines except weekly shonen jump, which is their most well known line around the world.

In previous rambles I gave details about the jump magazine line, it's publishing company shueisha, their target demographics and so on, but this is v3 so what I'm gonna do is skip all that and welcome you to check out my just jump in v1 or 2 rambles if you haven't or watch the ultimate guide to every jump magazine by manga crash on YouTube. that's the video's literal title btw. big shouts out to crash for the amount of research he put into that video. lots of great information on the intent of different lines and he shines light lines that have run from anywhere between a day and a decade. great channel and twitter in general and blah blah,, yh,, check out all 3 or none at all it's up to you.

but in any case what we're doing here today. in the present. that's different from all of the above, is focusing on reading everything that's not weekly shonen jump, which as I said is their most popular and definitely most financially successful magazine.

and for what it’s worth, it's also one of, if not their most accessible outside Japan, especially if you only entertain certain quality standards, so that being said I didn't get in that many new reads in this month. literally just 5 so I'm not even gonna really do the format thing I usually do and just jump right in fr.

This month’s reads

#5 Shadow Lady (Masakazu Katsura, complete w 24 chapters, V Jump)

The premise here is that a young shy girl turns into a sultry phantom thief at night by putting on magic eye liner.

Picked this up because I really dig zetman and video girl which this guy also did. still wasn't really expecting anything too crazy, would’ve welcomed something crazy, but it wasn't. what it did have going for it was the art though, if you've read any of this guy's other manga you'd know his art is definitely a winner + it's got that old school kinda charm ++ it's one of his older works. that charm also comes out in character dynamics as her main love interest is ofc a police officer that wants to catch her but doesn't know her secret identity. steamy hijinks ensues and there's laughs and everything but it's number 5 on a list of 5 things, 25 chapters. short read. not so sweet but we move.

#4 The bones of an invisible person(Jun Ogino, complete w 22 chapters, Shonen Jump+)

The story here is about a young girl in an abusive household that gains the power of invisibility, how she uses her powers, and the fallout of that.

Pretty melancholy vibe throughout but the kind that's like trying to carry itself through the muck, though it is the muck itself,, I hope that lit up the circuits in your brain I intended,, but if not a manga comparison can be found in pretty much all the works of inio asano or more closely in shuzo oshimi’s manga like happiness or drifting net cafe. you could also make a non manga comparison with media like Melancholia or The Banshees of Inisherin, great films that highlight the less dramatic, more subtle swamps of mundanity and how they can be born from and in turn give birth to the more dramatic aspects of life, both positive and negative. it also eeriely reminded me of a one shot from hiroki Endo’s short story anthology collection but I'm rambling now and I know it …

in any case, melancholy is a vibe and it's always great to see a melancholy ruminating girl in my media. #diversitywin. also always neat to see the more unsavoury side of supernatural powers, and not in the “what if Superman was evil?” kinda way but in the more “these powers are kind of like a burden actually" kinda way… pretty solid art. not that many characters but they tended to carry some nicely smoldering warmth which was a great contrast to the overarching vibe.

22 chapters. short and neat. short and sweet. would recommend.

#3 Neko Majin (Akira Toriyama, complete w 8 chapters, Monthly Shonen Jump)

Firstly. we can never say thank you enough to Akira Toriyama. his parting was an inevitability of his life so we're glad we had him and I'm super thankful for all the work he did and all the love he so clearly did it with.

that being said. there's no real story here. sir Toriyama just drew a silly little dude. specifically a silly little cat. that's been trained by another silly little dude. who goes by the name of Goku, you may have heard of him. definitely a gag manga, no I didn't get any crazy life threatening laughs from it but there's something about Toriyama's art that draws a smile on your face. ..crazy to think his style will come to be called “old school” in a few but that too is life… rest in power Akira Toriyama sensei.

#2 Kono Oto Tomare(Amyuu Sakura, 114 chapters ongoing, Jump Square/SQ)

First off. very important note. for those who don't know, the koto is a traditional Japanese instrument and is actually their national instrument. Personally I knew neither of these things before reading this manga. While reading though I tried intentionally listening to some koto music and it was pretty rad, like aside from the manga I'd recommend checking out some koto music and just traditional Japanese music overall tbh. pretty rad.

In any case, this manga is about a highschool koto club on the brink of being disbanded for not having enough members and the cumulative effort of overcoming that, led by a delinquent freshman.

I've seen it mentioned by quite a few people, a good number of people whose taste's and their analysis even, I have a lot of respect for, but I still wasn't expecting much. now that I've read it and experienced the awesomeness I'm pretty sure a lot of that came from not knowing what a koto was and not really caring. I thought the manga trying to make me care about it would be an uphill battle but the way they paralleled the different club members' development as individual and collective human beings, with their ability to produce unique sounds through the koto, again, both individually and collectively, was pretty phenomenal.

the ultra creative illustrations in art focused manga is pretty much always a winner for me but yet I still somehow I feel like I keep getting sucker punched by it,, especially here with the koto like going into this I had almost zero reference for how they sounded but I don't know what to tell you man they drew the shit out of that sound. ftr the art is pretty great all round. It has a bit of a shoujo feel, even a pinch of BL if your mind wanders down those roads but even at the surface level, the dynamics are pretty well orchestrated with a generally natural feel in any case.

The pacing is great and it looks like it's coming up to its climax,,, or crescendo if you want to force the pun, great time to pick it up and I definitely highly recommend.

side note. if you're wondering what I mean by art focused manga then I'd recommend listening to my rambles all about art and all about art v2.

#1 Cyborg 009(Shoutarou Ishinomori, 114/206 chapters, monthly shonen jump)

From reading this and reading about it I came into the knowledge that the creator of cyborg 009 was actually an assistant on tetsuwan atom, better known as astro boy here in the West. I just wanna take a moment here and say that astro boy is cool and all but this is the real greatest robot on earth.

The setting is the latter half of the twentieth century and sadly war is still a thing and sadder still the entire world seems engaged in it. looking into the camera like I'm on the office ofc. This is all fueled by a terrorist organization known as black ghost, that mainly profits by creating and selling more and more advanced weapons. again. the camera. So the world is so full of war, so full there's almost no room for anymore,, which interferes with profits and we can't have that. not in the good ol free market. so black ghost comes up with the ingenious idea of expanding the frontiers of fighting by creating 9 highly advanced cyborgs who can take the fighting below and above earth, sea, sky and even space. and they would've gotten away with it too but the cyborgs along with a remorseful rogue black ghost scientist, have retained enough of their human hearts to fight against this evil.

To start, because of how old it is, coming out in 1964, I thought I wouldn't be too into the action and have to really dig into the themes and so but it was pretty solid, usually effectively conveying their grand dramaticism if not always so smooth in choreography. great variety, which I really appreciated,. a lot of media say they have these fighters that can go at it anywhere and do anything but for some reason they usually end up just punching it out in some business district or something, but here? these guys were fighting anyone, anywhere, fr… for a cause..

cool dialogue and dynamics. fights trying to end fighting tend to generate that.. it’s always cool to see beacons of humanity shining through a mechanical lens, lots to say and unpack, but one thing I will definitively speak on to say I liked was the inner turmoil of the fighting. again, a lot of media just have folks punching out, granted they do tend to be for some higher purpose like saving the world or a loved one but fighting is still difficult more often times than not. yes physically so but mentally and emotionally, yes someone needs to fight but why does it have to be me, why do I have to fight this way and what does one become through fighting, win or lose? great stuff, especially as I said through that mechanical lens.

Old ass art but it's got charm, sadly the messages are still very potent to this day, really wish it were a case of looking back like man humanity was so foolish then huh?? but in any case really really great read, had always dug the aesthetic from the glimpses of one of the anime adaptations I saw every now and then as a kid, really really glad the actual content matched and even exceed that. highly recommend but grain of salt due to translation hell.

Ok. Round 2 of announcements, after the gallery opened. Let's see what WonHobby Gallery 2023 Spring has got.

I dont know what Blue Archive is, but the character design of the faces is really cute.

Oh wow. Old Yugioh Nendoroids.

Bridget Nendoroid prototype is so cute!

Auggh! Wow the unpainted prototype of Nendoroid Kasumi Yoshizawa: Phantom Thief Ver., made her masked face seem really off-putting for a second. Like a creepy bird face. Let's hope it doesn't look so uncanny and creepy after it's painted.

Omg! Nendoroid Leon S. Kennedy!!! Look at him!

Itty bitty Nendoroid Master Chief.

POP UP PARADE Red Pyramid Thing. Ooh, creepy. Very pale this time.

They've got a lot of guts, still making Overwatch Nendoroids. Especially of OW2.

Is her hair holding up that flag?... Wow! Racing Miku has a cute little bird friend now!

There's the Hestia Pop Up Parade. I think i was confused when a different character got her prototype revealed first.

Finally looking at the opened gallery. For some reason, its search bar was already filled with "Fire Emblem". Mocking me. Showing me immediately that there are still no FE3H Nendoroids. 💢💢💢💢💢😭😭😭😭😭😭

Well, Hellsing Alucard Nendo got painted.

There's Myne.

OH MY FREAKING GOBS! ANYA GOT AN EXTRA SEPARATE SET OF 8 FACEPLATES. I think i have to get this Nendoroid faceplate set.

Oh no. I just realized, the new winter coat Anya Nendoroid, i was going to skip, has the nice gentle smile that i wished her original Nendoroid had. Did they give her original Nendoroid that weird face on purpose, so we'd have to get her 2nd Nendoroid?!? Well, her first Nendoroid did have that exuberant open mouth smile, so maybe i can still skip her winter coat version and save money.

Well, this should make the Magus Bride fans excited. Elias and Chise look like they're getting PopUpParades in addition to their Nendoroids.

Is that a freaking Soul Eater POP UP PARADE in 2023???????????

These Idolish7 character designs, man... Making me think a character is a cinnamon roll puppy without even knowing the character.

Oh. There's Nendoroid Hetalia Austria.

Snoopy?!???????

Nendoroid Doll tropical swimwear? Cute. Ready for the Barbie movie. That redraw mugshot meme put that movie on the brain.

I wanted Nendoroid More re solid T shirts for regular Nendoroids, not Nendoroid Doll solid tees. They were close. But the Nendoroid Doll collectors should like customizing these.

Nendoroid More baby bodies are cute.

Kitsune faceplate cases are nice.
