Last week was utter hell, with a new class, a new schedule, and my sleep going out of whack. I'm still trying to readjust, and let me explain why I'm mentioning all of this. Almost nothing would have motivated me to get out of my zone and type this post except for Frieren. Frieren is one of my favorite manga series. If you've talked to me about anime/manga before, you would know this. So, ever since it was announced, it has been one of my most anticipated series. To add to that, Keiichirou Saitou was announced as the director. He's a great example of an upcoming new-gen director who has excelled in everything he's been a part of. From the beautiful and abstract EDs he created for The Executioner and Her Way of Life or Boogiepop, to the mesmerizing, dreamlike episodes he directed for Sonny Boy, and the expressive, now very popular Bocchi the Rock. He was a perfect choice as a director for a series like this, and let me tell you, he delivered fully.

Just from a quick glance, you can see how the show looks. Everything is eye-catching, making it almost hard to focus on one particular element because they all just look so good, and no, it's not just the chromatic aberration causing the lack of focus. The various departments responsible for compositing, the background, and the overall color design have done an outstanding job, creating a beautiful and cohesive piece of art. Seeing someone you might consider a less experienced director pulling off such a complete and harmonious experience is incredible. In terms of design, the whole show is aesthetically pleasing. It's not the experimental work you saw in Sonny Boy; it's going in a totally different direction, like a beautiful painting that should be framed on a wall.

It works very well when paired with, you know, how Frieren is as a story. The fantasy world they are in isn't an extremely unique one. You've seen it before; it's fairly typical in that sense. But that's not truly the point. The main focus is showing the day-to-day or year-to-year life of this immortal elf girl, Frieren, and how she views time, how she remembers her past. It's not an incredibly grand adventure, but with the small lens we have on these characters, it feels like a cherished moment, something that should be captured in a photo or painting. It's beautiful in a very simple way. It's not a series made for extremely large moments, I think Frieren has always been focused on a simpler view of life, much like a painting. The smaller details of such a straightforward approach are highlighted so well. The trees in the environment, the squirrels just moving around—there's so much life in each scene. It really all comes together for me like a piece of art.

The consistency lasts through all four episodes, and the staff distribution also seems fairly good, so I expect this to continue throughout the two cours. The pacing itself is perfect. I've really enjoyed how the story has been adapted to animation so far. I believe that nowadays, many anime series have fallen into the pitfalls of adapting things too quickly to capture the interest of newer viewers early on. However, the series composition for Frieren here is excellent.

This writeup might have been shorter than most people were expecting considering how amazing the anime adaptation is and how much I love the source material, but what can really be said about except just praising? I feel like even if you don't like the source material, the anime's execution is almost undeniably good. Additionally, as I said this past week has not been kind to me so my energy is a bit drained, at first I was planning to be more specific in my write up and make points more adhering to the specifics of each episode, but I didn't really have time for that. However, I will do my best to cover every Frieren episode weekly from now on. Make no mistake this is going to be my favorite series from this year.

Short Trailer

[siennaditbot]

Ok so I have reopened the anime feels I thought I had bottled away

No series specifically, just..

Voice actors.

I love voice actors so much.

I don't do it myself, though I do end up imitating characters kind of accidentally sometimes lol. The line just.. comes out?

Anyway, there are great English and Finnish speaking VAs of course (Stephen Merchant, Vic Micnogna, Jon-Jon Geitel, Petrus Kähkönen, Jari Salo to name a few)

But Japanese VAs aka seiyuus?

They hit so different.

Nobuhiko Okamoto's voice is literally perfect and so cool and his range is crazy. He goes from crazy mad characters like BNHA's Bakugo to super sweet and timid like Sengoku from Horimiya. (His confession scene literally destroyed me, DANG was he adorable. Started this whole mess too, btw.)

Jun Fukuyama causes me to swoon every time he opens his mouth, and I might have to watch Assassination Classroom just because these two are in it. This guy also has a crazy range, going from selfish and arrogant rich dudes to normal shy and soff guys <33 (Prince Raj from Akagami no Shirayukihime vs a fairly normal main character Takanashi in Working!!)

Ishikawa Kaito, the voice of my dear little blueberry man aka Kageyama from Haikyuu!!, I love him so much. He does the 'cool guy who is actually a dork' so well. Also the super epic Genos from One Punch Man. Gahh.

Yuki Kaji? Does super calm roles like Kenma from Haikyuu!! but amazing tsundere roles as well like Nishikata from Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san. Love his voice too.

Tetsuya Kakihara? Mamoru Miyano? Miyu Irino? Daisuke Ono? (Silver the Hedgehog's Japanese VA btw, so surreal, he's nothing like the English voice) Yuuichi Nakamura? Tatsuhisa Suzuki? Nobunaga Shimazaki? Saitou Souma? Uchiyama Kouki? Hiro Shimono?

I love the Japanese Sonic cast as well. Sonic, Shadow, Knuckles and Espio specifically, but everyone else is super good too.

I could list these dudes for ages but I gotta go to bed and my leg is falling asleep so I gotta move too so yeh (def not in the bathroom rn)

It has been revealed.

I am an anime nerd.

The weeb bottle has been opened.

We shall suffer together.

[yamitsukigame]

im struck w the urge to have the boys in my lap, how would they react?

Kosuke — Does not appreciate that. He sputters and struggles and tries to get out of your lap as fast as possible, but it's pretty obvious that he's just embarrassed. Enough pestering will get him to agree to stay there, but he's still red-faced and grumpy about it. Don't tease him too much; it's cuter when he finally starts to relax.

Sora — Despite wanting nothing more than to snuggle into you and stay safe and warm and held forever, he's too scared of being a nuisance to properly cling. You're so kind for holding him like this, is what Sora is thinking the whole time. Even though he's still tense and shaking and way too needy, you're letting him stay close to you.

Haruki — This is where he belongs. Hold him in your lap for as long as you want; he's loving every second of it. Of course, he's a little worried about being too heavy or not cute enough or anything else that could go wrong too, but the giddy pride over his current seat is easily winning out over any potential concerns he might have.

Ryuusei — The chances of him letting you get him on your lap, in the first place, are very, very slim. He's not the kind of person who should be... coddled like that, don't you know? If you actually get him there, though, you can almost see his brain short-circuiting. He's highly uncomfortable, but at the same time, shamefully content.

Shiki — This drama queen doesn't have the slightest problem with lounging in your lap, should you request that. He'll take any chance he gets to touch you, regardless of things like "dignity". Once you give him permission, expect him to be cuddled up to you both then and many times in the future, and later, without asking first.

Jun — He's painfully shy about it, but he really likes sitting with you like that. Even if he's awkwardly tall and unsure of how much he can touch you, it feels blissfully secure to be held in your lap, especially with your arms wrapped around his waist. If he can ever get over his nerves, it can eventually be a good way of calming him down.

BLCD Reviews: Lala no Kekkon 2

Title: Lala no Kekkon 2 (ララの結婚 2)

Author/Artist: Tamekou

Release Date: 2019/10/20

Cast: 

Eguchi Takuya x Saitou Souma

Fukuyama Jun

Nishiyama Koutarou

Synopsis: Sequel of the series of the same name.

Review Proper

The things I do for Saitou Souma. 

Anyway, I have read the parts of volume 2 which Tenshi no Akuma has worked on beforehand, so I had an idea of what was going to go down here. But even if I didn’t, it wouldn’t be hard to figure Tamekou out. And I vaguely quote OmNom’s and gwkimmy’s review on sensei’s Deichuu no Hasu: “Sensei be too shallow”.

Sensei tries so hard to create an elaborate psychological atmosphere...

just to have a wHoLeSomE and cUTe ending. It’s like Tamekou is literally allergic to consistency. Have y’all ever seen a good psychological series with wHoLeSomE and cUTe endings??? Let me tell you, love borne out of Stockholm Syndrome will never, ever be so innocent and pure. Fucking reminds me of the Nii-chan extra. 🤮🤮🤮 But yo, at least Harada characters have fucking self-awareness when it comes to rape and such. Does have Uruji have that??? FUCK NO. Sensei just gonna go ahead and make Uruji look cute and dashing so Lamudan falls in love with him and fights Uruji’s proposed second wife over him. Medetashi medetashi.

There’s literally a lot of less irritating ways to make Lamudan fall in love with Uruji (like fucking consent), but we gotta be on brand with the Harada bootleg shebang, right??? Also, speaking of consistency, I can’t with the dialogue having English loan words. What kind of imaginary 18th century Mongolia is this where the people use English loan words?! What is this? Sahara no Kurowashi??? At least Sahara no Kurowashi doesn’t pretend to be deep! 

Ugh. My blood pressure rose typing this all out. Time to move onto the voice work.

Wow. Sis Eguchi really ain’t playing! And what did I say in the last BLCD again???

“It’s like each time I say that this performance of so-and-so is the best of them I’ve heard yet, their next performance automatically turns out to be better!” 

This is by far, again, the BEST I’ve heard of Egu. I don’t understand why he was nominated for his Koi wo suru Tsumori Nakatta performance when his Uruji was the goddamn g (I mean, despite his character being a goddamn insult). It was so smooth and so natural even though his Uruji was a tad different from his natural voice! What’s more is that, I just came from listening Fujitsu and he does not sound like his Sena AT ALL! Granted, Egu still sounds a little like Makonyan and even Hino Satoshi here, but I can now say that his role belongs to him and him alone. Also, if he just used his Uruji tone for his Akihiko, it would have been hundred times better. Today I learned that Egu can sound like Hino Satoshi when he’s not trying to. 😂 Are you taking down notes, Blue Lynx?

As for Saitou Souma, I’m proud to say that I didn’t hear his Aoi in his Lamudan at all. Y’all might be tired of me always praising SS, but he deserves it. I know he’s winning 2021. 😂 Side note: my whole family’s actually a fan of Saitou Souma (even my mom because she watches Haikyuu and likes Yamaguchi).

Main VAs aside, another reason why I forced myself to read volume 2 was because I liked Badom. Like, I really liked Badom and I ship him with Lamudan. I’m disappointed that Badom didn’t legit make off with him. 🙄 Anyway, I didn’t look at the complete cast list, so I didn’t know who was going to voice him. I remember thinking of throwing hands if it’s going to be Ono Yuuki again, but then—

ANOTHER GEN 1???!!! HAD I KNOWN I WOULD’VE LISTENED TO THIS BEFORE MDZS!!! Oh bless FukuJun’s heart for coming back twice in 2020. 😩 So when is Daisaku making his big comeback? Man, idk about you guys, but like Shimono Hiro, FukuJun’s great as a top even though he has exclusively been a bottom throughout his career in the BL industry. I’m just so sad that he doesn’t have any R18 otome CDs because if he had at least one, then we’d be able to gauge just how good at topping he really is. I might have already mentioned this in Rakka Ryuusui no Hoshi, but I really love FukuJun and he’s one of my favorite VAs of all time. Speaking of Rakka, Lala 2 is almost the same as that because we also have Saitou Souma here, but not as FukuJun’s uncle, but his brother-in-law instead! THIS JUST MAKES ME SHIP THEM MORE!!! HAHAHAHA WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE A FUKUJUN X SAITOU SOUMA BLCD???!!! MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE!!!

Why is it that when Saitou Souma and FukuJun meet in a BLCD, the plot is almost always underdeveloped? 😂 Anyway, Lala 2 did have spectacular voice work despite the plot because everyone from the main VAs to the minor ones delivered. Nishiyama Koutarou’s character didn’t have a lot of dialogue here, so it’s a bit sad since it’s also been a while since I’ve heard him in a BLCD. I hope to hear him in one again soon.

In conclusion, we had great voice work and chemistry that’s even better than the first volume. I didn’t read the raws (do I look like I’d spend a cent on Tamekou???), so I can’t vouch for the chapters TnA haven’t released, but I can guarantee you that this would be a little difficult to follow if you’re going to lean on their scans. Since this is a sequel, they had to explain the past events first. They’ve also rearranged some of the events, too. If you’re planning to do a read-along, I’d suggest getting your hands on the tank if you can because TnA’s scans does have a considerable amount of inaccuracies in the translations. It’s a pretty good adaptation overall, so if you’re a fan of the VAs and can stomach the plot or if you’re a fan of the plot itself, then break a leg. I’m not really sure if there are other Mongolian/Eurasian themed BL out there, so I can’t recommend anything else. 🙇

I re-listen ososan podcast where Hatabou's VA said "I wish I can like this matsu but till now I can't" and it turns out the character she mentioned was Choromatsu which Ichimatsu's VA falls down his chair from laughing out loud
