#Shingo izumi (body)

[pieromachine]

watched KR OOO.

[drawn-and-talk-of-peace]

Ankh: You can't just possess people. It's wrong.

Goda: Isn't that Izumi Shingo's body you're possessing?

Ankh: You little shit——

[asknarashikari]

Ankh and Izumi interactions? Do you think Izumi would call Ankh otouto or aniki just to mess with him?

Honestly, I don’t think Shingo cares much for Ankh. Sure, Ankh possessing him did save his life but it was still done against his will, and I’m pretty certain Shingo was aware of what Ankh was doing in his body, and of what Ankh was thinking. And, well... Ankh wasn’t always benevolent.

I don’t think Ankh and Shingo would actively try to seek each other after the former gets resurrected. It’s just a bit too weird for everyone involved. They would maybe run into each other or maybe meet because of Hina, but they kinda just acknowledge each other then move along.

That said, Shingo would 100% mess with Ankh, including betting on his love life (he won the whole pot, btw).

Fuwa and Naki as roommates part two

Fuwa: It’s like having someone live with you 24/7 - literally. In your head. But you probably don’t get what I’m saying Shotarou, Philip, Shingo Izumi, Shinnosuke, Emu, Sento, Misora, the main three Zi-O boys: We kind of do

Fuwa comes back home to find a box filled of black overcoats with drooping hoodies. He goes into his internet history and finds Naki ordered them with his credit card. But what irritates him most? All of the jackets are identical, down to the stitch. “At least go for some variety,” he grumbles, pulling on a fur trimmed jacket that looks no different from the first two

Naki wants to understand more about the importance of dreams, so Fuwa lets them control his body for the day as long as you don’t do anything stupid. The next day, he finds out thanks to a viral video that he - Naki - had attended a concert, got lucky enough to be summoned on stage, and proceeded to woo everyone with their vocals. That’s how Fuwa gets a fan base who “really dig that alter ego image”

Every time Aruto makes a joke, Fuwa holds back his laughter. Naki mistakes this as some “biological illness”, and after some ‘research’ concludes they should help relieve Fuwa of the tension. Part A of the plan involves sweeping an entire medicine shelf into a shopping basket. Part B is doing something to Fuwa so he laughs aloud after Aruto breaks into pun and dance. Aruto’s overfilled with joy and Fuwa wants to die

“But you can’t die,” Naki says. “What about me?” “You can die too,” Fuwa snapped back and takes out his resignation letter. “Not literally though. I’ll kill you if you do.” “That’s logically impossible.” “I could say that when you change my vocal chords, but go figure.”

Okay underrated relationship from OOO - Ankh and Shingo, spoilers ofc.

Okay, so you know me, and you know how I’m joking that Kamen Riders OOO’s real title is Kamen Rider BOys plz talk tO eachOther. That’s still super true. Eiji didn’t trust Ankh till I think eps 47+, Ankh didn’t trust Eiji too. I mean they trusted eachother when it comes to fighting, not in general. 

Yes, I’ve allways thought this is nice lessons for kiddos. You don’t have to like someone to work with them, you don’t have to trust this person in general to trust they will do their job. Japan is all about cooperation so it’s good lesson. Yet. Boys plz, talk to eachother. 

Those two don’t know their motifs literally till the end. They had to finish all their businesses with eachother to notice they like eachother beyond that. That’s there is more between them than just “usefullness”

(oh mygod Ryon looks SO GOOD in this ep) 

The only person who trust Ankh, and I do belive trust him almost completly... is Izumi Shingo. Something that weren’t said propertly in the show. Shingo knows Ankh the best, knows his weeknesses, knows his moitfs. 

Shingo is with Ankh entire season and he said it himself, he remeber everything. This is still his body and even if he is not in Ankh’s mind and he don’t hear his thoughts, he still feels bodys reaction to those thoughts. Ankh is way too closed to rest of characters, but Shingo feels whenever Ankh smile. Stomach pains because of stress? Little buterflies or even a relief when he is holding his medals? Tears of frustration and anger? Long sleepless nights worring about future? All this emotions that Ankh allowed himself to show ONLY when no one was watching him? He wanted it or not (probably not) Shingo was with him entire time.

In this scene:

Writers did everything for Eiji not to hear it. That was important, couse Eiji is this kind of person who will get soft over Ankh in seconds, but he coudn’t yet couse Plot™ that makes Shingo the only person who heard that.

(that he use his body) I don’t think so. 

Shingo also aknowladge every times Ankh saved Hina, every time he covered her when monster attacked. That’s why Shingo was ready to save Ankh as fast as Eiji, even if he possesed him and used him for a year. That’s why Shingo is so dedicated to help him. Couse he like him the most. Couse he understand Ankh. That’s ironic, couse most of the time host hates his ‘parasite’ (did I just call Ankh parasite lol) in other stories. This is, I think, pretty regular trope for hosts, but Shingo’s relationship with Ankh is different. 

Look at Shingo here: 

Is he really affraid? or is he more like “are we really have to do it?” and “okay you won’t listen me, dont you?”. He knows how desperate Ankh is. He understand how much he is able to do to be complete and he understand this feeling. Ankh doesn’t have time to listen Shingo, he needs body and he needs it now. He don’t know Shingo that much and he don’t trust him, but Shingo do. He choked him, yes, that wasn’t.. really nice thing to do, but I think Ankh wanted to: 1) make Shingo obey faster, couse he didn’t belive Shingo would ever let him enter himself 2) convince everyone and himself, that he is still Greeed™, that he is still egoistic little sh*t (he is not) and he do not care about humans (he do) 

(they did they best to animate it, yet hahahah)

still Ankh let him say it. Couse they both know it: he is okay. 

“Okay, enough with your siblings bullshit, I need this body, go to sleep, bye, see Hina? He is fine.”

Except for Shingo no one trusted him here :/ they didn’t want to listen and make a plan. At first Ankh is almost like “okay, I’m back, let’s talk and.... oh shit, shit shit he is gonna kill me”

Anime 104

Hori-san to Miyamura-kun This is a four episode OVA from 2012, and I’ve watched these through the last five years or so. Needless to say I don’t remember much from each episode, but i really like the manga. I also wish this was an actual 12-24 episodes anime, not just an OVA, but hey, it’s still a little bit entertaining. The art style is also really cute.

Watched language: Japanese

Genre: Comedy, romance, school, shounen

Studio: Gonzo, Hoods Entertainment

Episodes: 4

[pluralmedia]

Pretty much every Rider in Kamen Rider Den-O and Revice through demonic possession. Kamen Rider W as well through temporary body sharing during transformation. Kamen Rider Vulcan from 01 through spoilers. A ton of other riders I am forgetting, probably, but if we listed every plural Kamen Rider we would be here all day.

I especially recommend Den-O, everything else is kinda... Not the greatest. To be fair the writers were never actually trying to represent anyone, but.

Thanks! After scanning tv tropes for signs, the following have been added to the list:

Kamen Rider Kabuto: Rena Mamiya/Uca Worm

Kamen Rider Den-O: Ryotaro Nogami, Yuto Sakurai, all Imagin and their hosts

Kamen Rider Wizard: All gates&phantoms

Kamen Rider Fourze: Yuki Jojima(maybe), Norio Eguchi

Kamen Rider OOO: Ankh/Shingo Izumi

Kamen Rider Double is a maybe as temporary fusion is something that we havent decided on adding to the list or not yet, so Shotaro&Philip are going there

Kamen Rider Revice: all kamen riders

Having a hard time confirming Kamen Rider Vulcan from Kamen rider Zero-One, so thats going in maybe for now

Kamen Rider Revice: Riku&Mamiya (maybe)

Kamen Rider Saber: all human-Mamono

Kamen Rider Build: Sento&Takumi, Bloodstalk, Misora&Vernage

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid: Emu Hojo

Kamen Rider Ghost: Takeru Tenkuji

Kamen Rider Drive: Kamen Rider Drive&Shift Cars&Krim Steinbelt

Feel free to tell us of any others that we missed. It doesnt need to be good rep, just characters who are more than one in a body for a more permanent length of time and arent *specifically* horror movie monsters.

[creator-chaos]

Ankh didn't know how long he sat in that alcove, tears flowing numbly, thoughts unraveling chaotically like tugging a loose thread. 

He's right here.

I was made with all his desires. 

You always were special, Ankh.

He wanted you more than anything. 

I thought I might be stronger than you.

I'll talk to you again soon.

I'm the best you're going to get.

Eiji would never say that to you.

It took a moment for Ankh to process that this last thought was not his own. 

Izumi Shingo. 

Ankh had been surprised there'd been no resistance when he'd possessed him, but had soon found that Shingo was weighed down by accumulated minor injuries and long-term exhaustion. It had been second nature for Ankh to accelerate this body's recovery–apparently, it had finally been enough.

Shingo would pick the worst time to regain awareness.

That's no way to talk about the man letting you borrow his body.

Not sure what else you'd expect from me, Ankh replied. You know what's going on?

The gist. And I know that… Just now, I saw… Shingo's thoughts became jumbled. Are you–I mean, I know you're not okay, after he… Look, don't think you have to face this alone, alright?

What?

We all want to get Eiji back. And we're all glad to see you again.

Why? Dying didn't magically make me a good person.

But it did make you realize that you are a person. And that you love him.

Ankh's tears had stopped, but now they climbed back into his throat. What would you know?

Shingo barked out a laugh in his head. You lived in my head for a year, I probably know you better than anyone. You weren't always careful about keeping your thoughts from me. After all, you barely acknowledged that I was my own person.

"Tch!" Ankh tried to convince himself that what he was feeling was frustration and not guilt before Shingo picked up on it.

But you didn't acknowledge yourself as a person either, Shingo continued gently, so I get it. Not that it was okay, but I've never been able to hate you for it. 

So what's your point? Ankh asked brusquely as he tried to hold himself together. 

You want Eiji back, Shingo replied simply. I want to help you. And I know I'm not the only one.

Uuuugh I got a fanfiction brainworm, maybe if I dump the scene here it will let me go

-------

"You miss him," Gouda murmured, placing Ankh's right hand over Eiji's heart, "but you don't need to." Ankh's hand twitched, fingers pressing into Eiji's chest. Gouda took Ankh's other hand and brought it to Eiji's cheek. "He's right here."

Eiji's heart beat beneath Ankh's fingertips; his stubble scratched against Ankh's palm. Ankh could see where the years had marked Eiji, carving fine lines around his eyes that hadn't been there ten years ago. But those warm brown eyes were exactly as Ankh remembered them, except now a stranger stared out of them at Ankh.

"Oh, Ankh, no," Gouda murmured, recognizing the tears welling in Ankh's eyes before he himself did. He nuzzled his face further into Ankh's palm, making soft shushing noises. "Don't cry, Ankh. You never cried."

"You're not him." Ankh tried to say it with conviction, but it caught in his throat and came out as more of a plea.

"Maybe not," Gouda finally admitted. "But I was made with all his desires, and now I have all his memories. His body." Gouda guided Ankh's hand across Eiji's cheek. "Ankh, I'm the best you're going to get. And I know you'll take whatever you can get. Us Greed have that in common."

"If you have his memories, you should remember that I was never very good at going along with the other Greed."

Gouda chuckled Eiji's chuckle. "That's true. You always were special, Ankh."

"Stop saying my name," Ankh hissed, finally summoning his signature venom. Gouda said his name like he was caressing a precious gem in his mouth, and Ankh had had enough. He forced a laugh, asking scathingly, "So what, you think you can just pick up where he left off? You going to save the world now? Become the first Greed hero?"

"Why not?" Gouda asked, smiling. "But oh, Ankh, do you really think that was his greatest desire? Why do you think he'd agree to Kougami making Core Medals from his desires?" He closed his eyes and nuzzled into Ankh's hand again, clenching Ankh's other hand closer to his chest.

Ankh froze. Gouda had hit on something that had been playing on his mind. Why would Eiji agree to that? Why would he ever risk creating something as dangerous as a Greed, when he knew the repercussions better than anyone?

Ankh snapped back to the present with the feeling of Eiji's lips on his palm. Gouda opened his eyes, meeting Ankh's as he broke the kiss. "Ankh. He wanted you more than anything."

Ankh felt like he was choking, like he was being suffocated by Eiji's absence, by the thought that Eiji wanted him more than the world. He shoved at Gouda, but Gouda twisted Ankh's wrists in his hands and pinned them on either side of Ankh's head.

"Mm," Gouda hummed gently. His eyes had never left Ankh's. "I thought I might be stronger than you."

They both heard the distant voices of Date and Gouto drift through the echoing building. Gouda slowly released Ankh's wrists, now pinning him in place with just his eyes and Eiji's soft, contented smile. "Think about it, Ankh. I'll talk to you again soon."

He stepped back and then disappeared around a corner. Ankh's legs gave up on supporting his weight, and he slid slowly down the concrete wall until he sat on the ground, arms draped uselessly over his knees. The words repeated on loop in Ankh's head. I was made with all his desires. I know you'll take whatever you can get.

Gouda was wrong. His gleeful playacting wasn't just subpar, it was positively repulsive. To think that Eiji had wanted Ankh–wanted him enough to risk the world–and some pathetic little upstart Greed who hadn't even been there at the start of it all was twisting that desire into this… Ankh would have rather woken to find Eiji already in the ground.

Except… Ankh grit his teeth, cursing his Greed nature for far from the first time. Except he wanted, and while Gouda was parading around in Eiji's body there was always the chance, wasn't there, that a spark would come through, a hitch in the charade that would show Eiji was still in there, that Ankh could still reach him, could wrap his talons around him and pull them back together again…

Ankh dropped his head in his hands. He hadn't realized his tears had finally fallen until he felt the hot wetness coating his cheeks. When would he ever learn to stop wanting what he couldn't have?

Top 24 Best Action Anime of All Time to Watch Right Now

Best Action Anime has always been a signature of anime genre from the very starting. Even if it's not ever the primary focus as it once was, in the 1970s and 1980s, most anime displayed scenes or set plays with intense fight scenes. And I would hope that the top action anime world never went too far away. Let's take a look at a couple of action romance anime that ranks the best of all time. Don't miss Thrillist's best action anime list. 'Top Action anime' is an audit quality, so We compiled 24 best action anime, and each anime series had a few notables. Every  anime encourages dramatic change or stands out due to a brilliant plot or character.  You asked for the best anime action of all times, and we brought a list of romance action anime.

The List of Best Action with Romance Anime

24- Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress

Directed By: Tetsurō Araki Release Date: April 8, 2016 Duration: 12 Episodes Rating: IMDb (7.3/10) The "Kabane" are horrible creatures like zombies that can only be killed by piercing their iron-protected hearts. After "Ikoma's" city overran, he boarded a fortified iron train alongside some new allies searching for a safer place. The Good action anime here is its key selling point, with the continuous panning of camera angles accentuating dynamic and rapid combat. There's a flashback: "Ikoma," a professional investor, had told "Mumei" that he would transform her back into a human. Do we feel some kind of romance action anime tension between the two? They're a fine pair of fights, for sure. In the present, Ikoma" is convening with human leaders to formulate a war plan, but humans don't trust him, possibly because of his "Kabane" blood. It doesn't work for him that he's not quite himself. He sweats like crazy, and he falls to his knees. During the Industrial Age, the action romance anime occurs as the virus infects humans and transforms them into "Kabane". 23- Black Lagoon

Directed By: Sunao Katabuchi Release Date: April 8, 2006 Duration: 24 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.3/10) The squad of the "Black Lagoon" is ragtag of mercenaries in the coin, but their relationships are tied together. When "Rokurou Okajima" (a non-assuming businessman) joins the gang and gives it the name "Rok," he turns away his life, as he flew into a world of crime, corruption, and greed. The Titan assault is terrible, but it's not exactly a horror action anime. You will discover an operation that is heavy on the scheme, creating a character and the environment, if you can stomach the gruesome, inner presence of the titans and the violent intent of how to devote their victims. Since there is possibly more action romance anime than almost any genre, Attack on Titan is indeed the best one since the virtual absence of plot shield means that no one is ever truly safe, and the consequences were genuine. Black Lagoon, the best action anime without our happy trigger Revy, who promises to push the series together, cannot be said about it. 22- Dorohedoro

Directed By: Yuichiro Hayashi Release Date: 1999 Duration: 12 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.5/10) We find powerless people and strong magicians alike in the abandoned and unhospitable district of Hole. Kaiman is a tall, brooding figure with the head of a crocodile. But he wasn't born that way. And he's looking for the guy who took his body, his memories, and, ultimately, his identity. When this top action romance anime begins, "En", a leading mafia magician, hears a Lizardman murdering his people and sends out the indifferent Shin and his partner, the bubbly (and too muscular) Noi, into the Hole to take care of Caiman, triggering a messy conflict between the two worlds. Although the initial premise would otherwise suggest that the moral world of Dorohedoro is far from black and white, sorcerers' society appears to be one with its internal conflicts and oppressive machines. 21- Gintama

Directed By: Shinji Takamatsu Release Date: April 4, 2006 Duration: 367 Episodes Rating:  IMDb (8.6/10) Hundreds of "Gintama" episodes cover many genres. I loved it from the very beginning, but some suggest you must get to the first serious arc to appreciate the value of "Gintama's" setting and characters. "Gintoki" is a samurai who helps people with jobs here and there in Feudal Japan after an alien invasion. Comedy's an anime's hard nut to crack. The funniest series there relies on Japanese phrases that do not translate. "Gintama" is on the thin side, and witches might lose in Western audiences. The Comedy action romance anime is still legally funny, so the award of best comedy anime is taken. Part of this is from jokes that land amid the language barrier. 20- The Tower of God

Directed By: Takashi Sano Release Date: June 30, 2010 Duration: 13 Episodes Rating:  IMDb (7.9/10) The Tower of God recently completed is the first action romance anime webtoon! I'm pleased that I Choose a good one. The anime enhanced over the webtoon in every possible way, with the distinct and raw art style and an epic weight for every conflict. This electronic orchestral soundtrack. 25th Bam was a boy who knew only a dark cavern, a filthy cloth, and an inaccessible light all his life. Then the whole of his life changed when a young girl named Rachel came into him by morning. He learned from her some things about the outside world by being close friends with Rachel. Begins "Bam's" journey, a young boy who wasn't selected from the Tower but had his doors opened. They call its kind of "Irregulars" being that each time they put a foot in, it has shaken the very base of the Tower. 19- Akira

Directed By: Katsuhiro Otomo Release Date: July 16, 1988 Duration: 2h 6m Rating:  IMDb (8/10) Akira is a classic all-time Anime. Gang wars, psychokinetic conspiracies, and a government effort are situated around Neo-scenery, Tokyo's, which could ruin the city and kill most of the inhabitants. The tale is dense, so let us concentrate on the action. Akira is not just a action anime, and not just great animation, although both are great. It's a beautiful film; it stops absolutely. There is a lot of top action romance anime list, and every year more come out. Akira remains a high watermark. It is a great film, a cool story, and a beautiful, action-packed animation with tremendous attention to detail. 18- Parasyte

Directed By: Bong Joon-ho Release Date: May 30, 2019 Duration: 2h 12m Rating:  IMDb (8.5/10) But not his side, now hosting a personality. Oh, his eyes and the mouth. Okay, that's terrible, but you can still change. The horror of the body was never so freely directed into motion. This best action anime will concentrate on Izumi Shinichi, a 17-year-old who lives in Tokyo with his family. One night, an alien Parasyte that looks like a worm enters his body, burrowing on to his arm, which is named Migi. It leads to an unusual connection between the two. 17- Land of the Lustrous

Directed By: Takahiko Kyogoku Release Date: October 7, 2017 Duration: 12 Episodes Rating:  IMDb (8.4/10) It's beautiful to watch, featuring many pleasant and well-defined people who each need a demon in an eternal war with the Lunar people who are mobilizing their bodies to harvest their beauty. Some of the settings will leave your jaw between your knees, waiting for the next episode to be clicked. Crystalline creatures called Gems in the unknown future occupy a planet devastated by six meteors. Each Ornament is assigned a role to combat the Lunar people, a species that attacks them to break down their bases and utilize them as decorations. It's dynamic, brilliant and has some of the most pleasant films in best action romance anime TV history. 16- One Punch Man

Directed By: Shingo Natsume Release Date: December 4, 2015 Duration: 12 episodes and 5 special episodes Rating:  IMDb (8.8/10) The author of the original webcomics hit it with his first idea, uh, punched it out of the park. Get this all right? Just imagine a standard shounen or even super heroic comic.  Although the action anime genre is still spoofing, One Punch Man ventures in a different direction and asks the fundamental question: What if a superhero were so powerful that he could punch all of his enemies? The top action anime series begins with a regular guy called Saitama, who chooses a nonsensical training scheme to become a superhero. He overdoes it, becomes so dominant that his opponents are not in trouble, and as a result, he becomes bored (and bald). This, however, is a cool, funny and good action anime series of bonkers with lots of action - Saitama must take things seriously every once and for a while. 15- Sword of the Stranger

Directed By: Masahiro Andô Release Date: September 29, 2007 Duration: 1h 43m Rating: IMDb (7.8/10) As part of their unprecedented ability and straightforward aim, Sword of the Stranger may very well be the most thoroughly performed entry in the best action anime of all time genre. Young orphan Kotaro and his heroic dog Tobimaru encounter an unnamed swordsman whose adventures need little clarification. It seems to Sword of the Stranger, a great option to start this rundown, precisely because it is the high-octane action with some good action anime choreographed parts that keep you attached to your seat during the film. She would not mislead her narrative characters, incredible sequences of action, stunning art styles, and only the fraternal love between two main characters has a progressing past. If you love the setting of history, that's another justification to give the Stranger's Sword a chance.. 14- Hellsing Ultimate

Directed By: Geneon Release Date: February 10, 2006 Duration: 10 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.6/10) Hellsing Ultimate incorporates anything from the Hellsing original and lifts it to the extreme. A little less than an hour, ten episodes tell you a macabre and witty tale of vampirism and survival. Very legendary, fabulous, unique, and one of the most sensitive artworks. A lot of vampire amines will occur. The varied best action anime output was understandable, as it had been subject to various animation studios. The animations from Gory were adequate to make you feel disgusted and distressed. The source was faithful, but the production of timing and plot was too quick and choppy for non-manga readers, making plot twists and character development trivial and impressionable. 13- Evangelion

Directed By: Geneon Release Date: November 17, 2012 Duration: 26 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.6/10) Gurren Lagann brings things in a genre known for excess to another stage with a good action anime breeze, a node, and a screamed alarm. A mecha with sunglasses could turn off visitors who aren't in the giant robot-anime genre. However, what seems to be an embarrassing mess works much better than it does. Crochet, line, plunger, the high-energy opening sequence, and the first episode lead you through some well-designed scenes that are strange but brilliant and amusing best action romance anime for the same time. When each character is introduced, we learn more about the brain, nerve, and soul organizations and why they have been developed. 12- Katanagatari

Directed By: Hideo Katsumata with Others. Release Date: January 25, 2010 Duration: 12 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.4/10) In his quest for 12 special blades, Katanagatari is the story of strategist and Martial Artist Shichika. It is also the tale of shifting times when the swords' age was forced to end with the rash of firearms in Japan's Edo-era.  The core partnership is just as intense as the realization of its key subjects, which ensures that the bread and butter of this series will keep you in some way amused as you chatter interminably. This isn't to say that this top action romance anime are not entertaining. Still, it is more aimed at fans who might be considering pivoting towards more dialog-heavy anime and, at the same time, retaining a substantial side dish of action. 11- Kill la Kill

Directed By: Hiroyuki Imaishi Release Date: October 3, 2013 Duration: 27 Episodes Rating: IMDb (7.9/10) Revenge is the game story in "Kill la Kill," starting from a basic plot but becoming more complicated and more in-depth, rather than just an anime full of best action anime and beautiful combat scenes than appears in each chapter. Ryuuko Matoi roamed the country in search of his killer after the assassination of her dad. At the renowned Honnouji Academy, she is at high school, unlike any other, with just her lead-the absent half of his innovation, Scissor Blade. The Academy, along with its influential subsidiary elite four, is ruled by the formidable and cold-hearted student council chairman Satsuki Kiryuin. Satsuki offers those in the highest unique clothing called "Goku's Uniforms," which offer the wearer extraordinary superhuman powers in the school's brutally competitive hierarchy. The hits are still entertaining with their characters and the storyline. This is a roller coaster; you will understand when you watch this anime. 10- Devilman: Crybaby

Directed By: Masaaki Yuasa Release Date: January 5, 2018 Duration: 10 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.1/10) This is numbered as the top 10 action anime of the year, and it sounds incredible to modernize a classic anime, and it demonstrates that it can be significant. The 1972 and 1987 originals are little-known but decent classics. I recommend that you watch the sub or read the manga. Although it's all packed, blood, blah blah blah drugs, it's also emotionally full. It's about who the real demons are with a deep and dark psychological subject. Monsters killing people or people killing people. The fight between Fudo and these malformations is incredible. Although it's full of feelings, tears in your eyes sometimes don't like Naruto, One Piece, and Koe no katachi. 9- JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

Directed By: Naokatsu Tsuda Yasuhiro Kimura Release Date: January 1, 1987 Duration: 42 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.7/10) The events of the Joestars, which now take several decades, families, and even timelines, can practically not be summed up. This romance action anime has already seen several bizarre adventures from slaying vampires to defend a small town – and a lot to come! The charming old-school beginning; the following with maybe the most charismatic protagonist; a curious tour with an even better-known Villain, and even a small one clashes with the most inspired path to date. Every season has its attractions. But as the environments, skills, and tones change, two aspects remain the same the unforgettable positions of Hirohiko Araki and the fact that JoJo's battles quickly turn out to be a strategic game. 8- Mob Psycho 100

Directed By: Yuzuru Tachikawa Release Date: July 12, 2016 Duration: 25 Episodes Rating: IMDb (8.5/10) Read the full article

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: I thoroughly enjoyed this! I had a lot of fun watching the baseball matches and my favourite part was definitely during the Training Camp! I really, really enjoyed Ino's character and I was getting such romance vibes from him that now, I'd quite like to see him do some sort of romance movie or role soon! I love how huggy he was with everyone ^_^ Also, it was great seeing Nishime get center stage; I haven't seen him act since last year's Satomi Hakkenden (review here). Naya was DEFINITELY the MVP of this entire stage! He was so entertaining and such much fun! I absolutely loved seeing him do such a comedic role ♡ I definitely weeped at this one towards the end because I got so attached to all the characters and I really do hope we see a continuation of this in the near future (within the next year or so please!). This was fun, some drama, some emotional parts, the games were done in an interesting way, the character development and relationships were great! The opening and closing dance was great too! If you’re a baseball, sports-anime, stage fan then I think you’re going to enjoy this quite a bit. OH and I forgot to mention the best part; their crotches and butts are tightly shown in those baseball pants o_O So enjoy xD  Rating: 8/10 << I think this would've gotten a higher rating if SOMEONE hadn't been snoring for at least half of the play and it super distracted me and took me out of the stage and story for a good 20 or so minutes.

SPOILER REVIEW

I don't know how many of you are interested in the story but I'll give the BASIC STORY:

Mihashi has recently moved/started at Nishiura high school. Even though he refuses to play due to past trauma and experiences at his previous school, he still gets roped into joining the baseball club because he is somewhat of a well known name. So we follow Mihashi get over his trauma and learning to trust his new friends as well as face his fears and get back into baseball.

That really is the bare basic plot of this stage. To be honest, I just want to flail over so many parts of this play so lets get to that okay? OKAY!

I have so many feels about Ookiku!! I enjoyed this stage so much! I cried! I laughed! It was so good!! 

First things first, the opening and end dances were so good! I thoroughly enjoyed them. But unfortuntately for Ino, he was stood right next to Naya! xD Ino looked like such a bad dancer being stood next to Naya who's dancing was and is just amazing. 

One scene that really stood out to me what the Training Camp scene. I really, really enjoyed this scene so much and was a lot of fun!

There were a lot of cute moments of Naya and Ino Hugging; Ino and JP hugging; and Naya and JP hugging. I just ate it all up. I loved seeing these little moments that weren't exactly the center of the scene or the story but they were there and they were a lot of fun to witness and see! ^_^

Now for some character/actor break downs:

I have to mention Nishime first because he's the lead actor. I feel like Nishime’s character in this was similar to his character in Ghost or at least reminded me of that character. I think Nishime did such a good job and I really want to see him get more work! I’ve enjoyed both of the stage plays I’ve seen him in (the other was Satomi Hakkenden: review here), and I want to see him continue stage acting and see his progress and see him getting better!  

Next we have Ino! I loved angry Ino in this and I could definitely see the similarities between this character and Imaizumi (who he'll start playing in the next Yowamushi Pedal stage). His character in this is part fun, part angry but he's a whole lot of 'caring for his friends'. But also, for some reason throughout this stage I got major feelings of just wanting to see Ino do a romantic role I think he’d be the cutest! 

Even though he’s clearly a little shit! Which leads me to my next point about him! Ino is a little shit when people say their lines wrong xD There was a scene where the teacher kept messing up all his lines and Ino just stood up (it was in the middle of a meeting and the students were all sat down) and was really calling and drawing attention to it like 'what? What was that? WHAT DID YOU SAY? Just say that again' xD it was so funny that the audience were too busy laughing and clapping to Ino's reactions and reponses while the poor actor tried to continue the scene. It was hilarious! 

Now moving onto some others, but very quickly in comparison to the four guys I focused on (JP, Naya, Nishime, Ino):

I was surprised to see that Masshu played on the other schools' teams. In fact, all of the non-Nishiura actors essentially played as all the other schools! So it was interesting seeing Masshu play different characters with slightly different personalities. But he also had his main moment as Nishime's ex-team mate and trying to fix the problem between Nishime and Hatake.

Another shocker and surprising thing was how quickly I ended up really liking Junta! Pretty much straight after his school starts against Nishiura I started liking him and he end up being a baseball pitcher. I can't explain why I liked him so much but I just did.

An even small quick note is that Bishin's body is tiny!! Seriously, so tiny!

There was one character in Nishiura who was always nervous and didn't have much confidence and he tended to hug Ino a lot which was really cute. I think it was Sakaeguchi.

Oooohhh! Going back to Nishime and Ino for a moment! There was a really cute scene during their first match where Nishime gets scared and hides away just before matches starts because it's been so long since he's been a pitcher. Ino finds him and sits down next to him and tells him that everything is going to be okay and stuff, and all of a sudden there is this 'daisuke / I like you moment' and they hug and it becomes really bromance and -- I SHIP IT! It was a really good moment.

OOOHH Which leads me to an even juicer scene! Between Junta and Ino! Because they are opposing teams, they obviously have some rivalry going on, and Junta and Ino get WAY too close, and because of the helmet on Ino's head and with Ino facing away from the audience, it totally looked like they were kissing! I am not joking you but at this time, most of the audience SQUEALED at that one tiny part because of how MAJORLY it looked like they were kissing. Hey again... I SHIP IT! I hope this scene makes it onto the dvd -- I heard from a friend who also watched it that they didn't do that during the performance she saw! WAAAH?! Good thinking Ino << I bet it was him.

Also, SO MUCH Ino crotch in this! He’s a pitcher so obviously his has to have his legs wide apart so balance and catching the ball etc. and he faces the audience the entire time so yes.... WIDE CROTCH VIEWS ALL ROUND!

Just in general those Baseball pants are NICE around all their legs, butts and...other things xD

Now lets rave about the MVP who is oh-so-clearly: NAYA TAKERU! NAYA-CHAN! PATCH-KUN! TAKE-CHAN! 

Naya is the MVP of this damn stage! He was so freaking funny in this and caused the most of the audience to focus on and be laughing at him rather than paying attention to what's happening in the scene. He also broke the fourth wall quite a few times during his stupid and silly moments. <<- in fact JP did this too when Naya and he were pretending to play catch with an invisible ball and he pretended it fell of stage and into the audience so he asked a girl in the first row to through it back up to him. In fact, speaking of JP let me quickly mention him some more; unfortunately because of how far back I was and because of damn Naya stealing my attention completely from the very first second, it took me ages to find where JP was! But I did think in the very first few minutes 'oooh that guy in the background is really handsome and has really nice hair -- turns out THAT was JP! No wonder the guy caught my attention >.< it's just meant to be haha ANYWAY BACK TO NAYA!

So many things about Naya's character in this I loved! He was hilarious, he was the center of (what I assumed were) higawaris/daily changes, his dancing was amazing (as expected because he's done hiphop and martial arts all his life), his was just a brilliant character and had so much presence on stage -- but I've always felt this way about Naya I think. AND Naya’s back flip was so cool!!! For some reason, TouStage has yet to incorporate Naya's skills fully (same with Shiina) but one day I hope they do. Also Naya's character spends so much time doing doggy poses that shows he cute little butt off perfectly, so of course I enjoyed that! And also I was impressed he could do those poses! I don't think I'm flexible enough anymore to do them =[ Naya is also what made the Training Camp scene so great! There's a moment where he has to count the numbers up on a board but, because he's a badass, he does two boards at once and it was pretty funny. 

AND, I don't know if it was just me but I really felt like the coach, Maria, and Naya’s character, Tajma, were dating. There were just a lot of little things where I could really see chemistry between them - even though it appears like his character is supposed to be trying to get the new coach trainee's, Chiyo, attention - I seriously felt like maybe Tajima and Maria were secretly dating. I can't explain it but their chemistry was just great in my opinion.

I will definitely be getting Naya’s bromides from this stage if they ever make their way to AGS (Animate: AkibaGirls Station) in the future.

Now onto the finale part of the stage which was the match against Tosei. The very final game scene had me so very nervous! I honestly couldn't tell which route they were going to take and I was legit nervous about the game’s result! I cried at the end too! From the moment I started freaking that they weren't going to win, right up to the final score and celebration, I was crying. In fact, it seemed like quite a lot of people were crying during these moments too!

And, if you don't trust my opinion on this stage for some crazy reason, there were 3 huge rounds of applause during the curtain call!! So, clearly it was great! AND IT WAS!

*

I only have TWO NEGATIVES.

For this stage, they didn't use mics, which doesn't bother me. But, in comparison to how well the male actors voices' traveled, and if someone with lesser hearing ability than me was at the show, the girls were a tad difficult to hear at times. I could hear them all pretty well 99.99% of the time but now and again I did think 'oh if my Japanese wasn't as good as it is' or 'if I was right at the back' or 'if my hearing started to go' I would've had a lot of trouble hearing and understanding them I think.

And the second negative has already been mentioned in the Non-Spoiler section; this ONE MOTHERFUCKER who had the audacity to come to a stage and SLEEP through it. And not only just sleeping, SNORING SO LOUDLY for at least 40% of the play, and a lot of this play has NO background music so the actors could hear it(!), I was legit getting so PISSED OFF and ANGRY at the person. DON'T FUCKING TURN UP IF YOU'RE TIRED! If you DO fall asleep, but you know you're a snorer, for the sake and respect for the fucking actors, please FUCK OFF. I was so surprised no staff came in to ask and escort the person out. If I had been on an AISLE seat, I definitely would've gone out to the staff and asked them to remove the IDIOT! Thanks to them, between the Nishiura vs Mihoshi match and the Training Camp and then the middle of the final game Nishiura vs Tosei, I got really taken out of the story and it took me ages to get back into it again, so this motherfucker really affected my enjoyment of this stage to an extent.

FINAL COMMENT:

I seriously need a continuation of this! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!

I apologise for how often I mixed/swapped the actor and the character names; I do this all the time and I'm sorry (not sorry but) I hope it's never too confusing to understand.

And we got another one done! I am slowly getting through them! I hope I can get all my backlog reviews done before the craziness that is Dance with Devils and Patarillo performances xD

//cracks knuckles// okay so

greeed cannot see color in the way that normal humans perceive color, their vision is distorted and grainy at best. ankh knows very little about the human race to begin with, and he thinks nothing of the moment when he possesses shingo izumi’s body for the first time and the world is finally in vivid color for him. the thing is, it wasn’t in color for eiji hino until the day he meets ankh.

a soulmate au where meeting your soulmate allows you to see in color vision. eiji hino has been all over the world and has never met the person destined to be his forever. he thinks nothing of it, as the ptsd from being a hostage and watching his friend die is a far more worrying aspect of his life to handle right now. he never would have asked for color vision to begin with, as a part of him that he doesn’t want to admit exists constantly thinks that maybe he just doesn’t deserve someone to love him forever anyway.

cue ankh. the bird greeed is the strangest being that eiji has ever met in his life, and when they touch skin to skin for the first time, eiji can see in color. he’s dazzled by this revelation. but, of course, he is also confused. just because ankh can see color vision doesn’t mean that he’s the one for eiji. he’s just using shingo’s body after all, so it’s very possible that ankh is seeing through shingo’s color vision instead, that eiji’s soulmate might very well be the detective who interviewed him.

if anything, it just fuels eiji’s desire to protect shingo’s body even more.

ankh fails to understand the gravity of the situation. if greeed are just objects, then they have no souls to speak of and therefore cannot possibly have soulmates out somewhere in the wide world waiting for them. he accepts eiji’s explanation that this is clearly attached to shingo, that when ankh releases his hold on shingo’s body, shingo will be the one who can still see.

it’s part of the reason eiji and hina get so close to one another, another layer of protectiveness on hina’s part. eiji is a genuinely good and sweet person and she would protect her brother from anything and everything if she could, and she doesn’t want to see either of them get their hearts broken because of something like the greeed and the end of the world. besides, the longer she knows eiji, the more she comes around on how nice it would be to have two older brothers instead of just the one.

when ankh lost absorbs ankh into his body, eiji assumes shingo will awaken with color vision and confirm finally that ankh was never the one that eiji was meant to be with after all. but shingo can’t see in color anymore. he could when he was piggybacking during ankh’s control of his body, but now everything is back to shades of gray for him. eiji is stunned at this revelation as this means that ankh was always meant to be his soulmate after all. he’s even more stunned when ankh turns on him and joins maki, to have been rejected by the person who was supposed to be there for him always.

absorbing the purple medals distorts his vision, but it’s nothing like the greeed experience because the colors are still there. muted and softening by the day it seems, but still there. eiji clings to the hope he can retain his humanity while wondering if the purple medals devouring him and turning him into a greeed will result in him effectively dying, becoming a monster, and rendering both him and ankh with shades of gray for the rest of their natural lives.

nothing is more vivid to him than ankh’s last taka medal resting in his hand. tajador has never burned more brightly or more beautifully. it’s as he’s falling back to earth, watching the color of the sky, the color of ankh’s arm, fading into gray that he knows it’s too late to save his partner. when he lands in the arms of the people who have supported him all this way, everything is back to the way it has always been for him. ankh really is gone.

he tells himself the cracked taka medal in his pocket will still burn that bright and beautiful red even if he can’t see it anymore.

Even though Ankh is gone and he has his body to himself again, Shingo finds it remembers things from that semi-lost year.

Another dream!♥ It’s right after Ankh return to other Greeeds. My headcanon about Shingo. I like writing  about other’s dreams don’t I ;’’D

*** He opened eyes and tensed at an instant. That was Cous Coussier. He shouldn't be here. Eiji could get him any time. As he was ready to run through the window, he looked at the bed where Eiji should eventually sleep. But the man sitting there was definitely not him. Izumi Shingo, looked at Bird Greeed and smiled. - Good evening, Ankh. Greeed was trying to understand the situation. What.. why was he there? Was this kind of trick to catch him? No... he sensed that he WAS in Shingo's body.. yet that was Shingo as well. - Oi, What is this?! - Ah... I think... I think it's maybe my dream.. but again, I shouldn't be aware of dreaming and... didn't have a proper one since... you know. You possesed me first time... I'm only guessing this is mine.. our head. Kind of? Okay, so this was a dream. Cous Coussier wasn't real, he probably was sleeping somewhere at Maki's place. He was save from Eiji. - So you are awake? Conscious? - Yes, I'm more myself now. I think I didn't shut down like the first time. Maybe it's because you let me use it for more than a day... who knows? Ankh clicked his tongue, he didn't like it. There was no time for fighting over the body with the detective. - Oi, be good and sleep a little longer. I still need it. - I know, Ankh. I can feel how desperate you are. "Desperate", this sounded like Shingo was pitting for him. He got angry. - What do you mean? - Through the body. It reacts to your emotions.. and since it’s my body I can feel it. I'm more... Hm... should I put it that way? More experienced when it comes to feelings than you, Ankh. I can tell when you are angry, stressed or tired. Greeed didn't know what to say. First of all he didn't want to anyone knows about his weaknesses, second of all he was embarrassed by it. Shingo only smiled. - So? What are we gonna do? - 'We'? There is no 'we', detective. - Oh.. I'm afraid there is. I'm lending you this body, it's still mine. Even if I don't really mind and you can have it as long as you need. - You do? - Yes, yes of course, you saved me, you are not hurting me... And I'm worrying about you... - Quit it - Ankh hissed - What do you know? I'm gonna be complete, there is nothing to worry about! - I know. I know Ankh, you are not aware of that, but I know. Just like you discovered the pleasure of eating, hearing things, I learned what it feels to have cores inside you. How much relief it is to get more. How strong you are feeling now with 6 cores and how it's not enough. It's just like I've told you. My physical body reacts to your thoughts. I could feel when you've got afraid of Eiji... - Shut up! - Ankh, unsheathed like never before didn't know how to behave. Shingo smiled again - I will be complete and... won't need your stupid body! - So what are you going to do? - You've heard Maki, we are gonna to make vessel out of me. Since this stupid man broke three of my medals I need a substitute. - He did it so he could save you. - Yea, and was trying to kill me seconds later... - Because he went out of control. - Because he was trying to protect your body. He said so himself, he will find a way to separate me from you. You are human so obviously he cares about you more. I'm nothing but a pile of medals, remember? Shingo got sorry over Ankh, and Greeed takes advantage of it to suppress detective back to corner of the mind. He wasn't sure if the other man got so strong or it was his fault that he came out, but he didn't have time for chit chats.
