[NEWS UPDATE] PolluSute: Live and Archive Streams of the Opening and Final Days of "Castor & Pollux" have been Announced

STORY DESCRIPTION

The year is 2045 AD. Humanity has been wiped out from the Earth due to repeated wars and environmental pollution. The people who have been left behind have made a life together in an underground shelter.

Leaning on each other, there are two brothers who live in a rundown apartment. Igarashi Souji (Fujiwara Itsuki), the older brother who is quick to get into fights but who cares for his friends, and Sho (Shinya Seiji), the kind and gentle younger sibling who writes about his life with his brother in his diary. Having been raised in the shelter since birth, they have never seen the starry night sky, and their dream is to see stars that are real.

Watching over the two brothers, the one who also taught Souji how to fight, is the junk seller Saginuma (Nakamura Seijiro). His buddies in a fight, Ichijo Kengo (Kitazono Ryo), Saruwatari Ryoto (Uekiya Satoshi) and Kijioka Kuon (Yamazaki Shogo) as well as Tsuda Yosuke (Tamura Shogo), who has a strong admiration for Souji, become the brothers' support.

Meanwhile, Shinonome Shuta (Ryu) and Rei Seiya (Sato Ryuji), members of the committee which protects the peace of the city, are marking the impoverished people who are a threat to the public order. Even amongst them, Souji, who has an overwhelming strength, catches Shuta's eye. Using despicable means, he drives the brothers into a corner...

STORY 時は20XX年。突如飛来したX星人は地球との友好を唱えたが、それは彼らの巧妙な罠であった。怪獣を世界各地の都市に放って攻撃を仕掛けるX星人に対抗するべく、地球防衛軍は南極に眠る最強の怪獣「ゴジラ」を目覚めさせようとした。その作戦名は「オペレーション・ファイナルウォーズ」! The year is 20XX. The mysterious Xiliens suddenly arrive on Earth, claiming to seek friendship. However, this turns out to be a cunning trap. The Xiliens unleash monsters across major cities worldwide, launching a devastating assault. To counter their attacks, the Earth Defense Force decides to awaken the most powerful monster, “Godzilla”, who lies dormant in Antarctica. This mission is named “Operation Final Wars”! ゴジラのファンだった北村監督は、昔のようにゴジラをダイナミックに動かし「ゴジラ対メカゴジラ」をはじめとする70年代のヒーロー・獣を大挙登場させた豪華な怪獣バトル映画になっている。「ゴジラ ファイナル ウォーズ(ゴジラ ファイナル ウォーズ)」は、日本でのゴジラ映画最新作である。「ファイナル」とタイトルにあるとおり、シリーズの総決算、最終作という触れ込みで製作が行われた。監督は『VERSUS』『あずみ』などで注目された若手の気鋭・北村龍平が抜擢され、怪獣を大挙登場させた豪華な怪獣バトル映画になっている。本作では驚異的な動きやすさを目指した新造形のゴジラ・スーツ���よって、究極のアクションを描き出している。浅田英一による特殊技術の撮演出は実にスムーズな怪獣アクションになっている。結果、特殊技術のたいと提案。このまでに激しいアクションのできるゴジラ、Director Ryuhei Kitamura, a long-time Godzilla fan, brings the iconic monster back to dynamic life.

"No Tengo Ganas de Bailar"

Pícara le dice a Júbilo que nunca la había visto tan hermosa. Júbilo le dice que hoy tiene una cita interesante, ¿no es así, Shogo, Fistaaaaaa responde Shogo emocionado. Aunque malhumorado dice que odia las fiestas, pero Júbilo le dice que lo ha visto enfiestado Rictor  responde: si es verdad, solo odio está la capitana británica responde vamos, siempre es buen momento para estar increíble delante de alguien a quien odias. 

Todos están disfrutando de la fiesta menos Rictor que malhumorado dice.Yo te recuerdo A (Apocalipsis) pero supongo que vosotros podéis disfrutar de los canapés refiriéndose a sus compañeros cuando de repente algo o agarra por atrás estirándole .

El que le había estirado había sido estrella cubierto de sangre. Rictor sorprendido y molesto, se va diciendo que está lleno de sangre que le había hecho pensar. ¿Qué era buena idea? La capitana británica hace que estrella se vaya diciéndole que se vaya con otra persona a hacer una copa.

Todos están celebrando por la victoria de la Patrulla-X diciendo en alto ¡Por la Patrulla-X!. Gambito dice que brindarán para su miembro favorita de la Patrulla-X ma femme. Picara agradece a todos diciendo que  no eligió formar parte de su club precisamente, pero que se lo ha pasado genial diciendo que jamás se esperaría acabando formar parte de excalibur la capitana británica dice que siempre serán bienvenidos en el faro y no espero que quieran quedarse Gambito dice que no se preocupe chère tiene planes y  Gambito también. 

Jubilo y Picara van a ver si Rictor está bien, pero está peor si ya quería reventar esta fiesta por una docena de veces. Ahora aparece su ex salido de una pelea de MMA. Mientras que de repente Piter Windson le dice a la capitana británica si le concede un baile. Peter Windson agarra del brazo a la capitán británica. La capitana británica dice tienes suerte de que puedo leerte la mente y saber que no está cómodo conmigo. Pete dice, no miras con suficiente atención, capitana británica, dice pete. Pete dice Me alegra tenerte de vuelta, pero tienes que saber qué pasó en tu ausencia.

La mentirijilla de pícara funcionó bastante bien para quitarte de encima a Aquelarre Akkaba. Se contentaron con hacerte quedar como una farsante que cogió el título y se jugó dejando al Reino Unido sin defensas.  Incluso se han asegurado de que todo el mundo sepa de qué no eres británica, sino Krakoniana. La capitana británica dice que es ridículo, estaba hecha pedazos con los trucos de nina. Peter hace callar a la capitana británica diciendo que se apegue a la charla mental diciendo: Están aquí han sido nombrados protectores del Reino.

Eres un cobarde, dice la capitana británica, te cortarías la mano para alejarte de mí del miedo que tienes de tener a una capitana británica mutante. Eres un monstruo,  Charles, no es cierto, Charles responde diciendo que no es tan grosero como para meterse para fisgonear. El embajador dice: "Usted nos abandonó"

Decidimos entrar a la gala para informarles sobre la disolución sobre la alianza de Reino Unido con Krakoa El embajador dice que los documentos serán enviados a usted de inmediato para poder aceptarlos. Bretaña  rechaza el trato con Krakoa Sus ciudadanos serán bienvenidos como extranjeros, pero sus portales no. Los brujos que incumplan las leyes en nuestra tierra enfrentarán nuestra propia justicia. De ser necesarios usaremos nuestra magia. ¿Qué magia?, dice la capitana británica, los mutantes defendieron abalon con sus vidas y la hemos amado como si fuera nuestra. La única entrada al otro mundo es mi y a través de mí, dice la capitana británica. Ya no es tu tierra, Arturo, es el auténtico Rey. 

El embajador dice que puede que sea un faro, pero sigue siendo tierra nuestra el embajador ve a Rictor y a Jubilo pensando que son espías y diciendo que no hay trato Rictor se piensa que se están burlando de él diciendo si sabe quién es el. El embajador dice si un druida falso Rictor be que lo estan subestimando y va arremeter contra el embajador pero Piter calma a Rictor diciendo que lo invitara a unos tragos Rictor se va hartándose de ese sitio

En la siguiente viñeta vemos como Lord y Lady bardock teniendo una conversación. Lady bardock le dice a lord bardock que tiene un poco de hambre yendo a buscar comida cuando de repente Lady lord siente un olor a cerillas. 

De repente aparece Kurt Asustando a Lady Bardock Kurt se disculpa diciendo que puede que parezca el horrible rondador nocturno, pero son viejos amigos  Lady Bardock contestando has aparecido tan súbdito Kurt se disculpa otra vez diciendo que la bebida se la ha subido a la cabeza no debería asustarla en el estado que debería felicitaré apareciendo Lord Bardock Diciendo que hablan Contestando lady bardock diciendo de nada y gracias por el queso 

En la siguiente viñeta vemos a Rachel con la capitana británica bailando, diciéndole si era la primera persona en la fiesta que le invitaba a bailar sin pedirle información. La capitana británica  Afirmando con si la pregunta  Rachel le dice sé que disculpa por como actuó cuando la malicia se apoderó de ella no fisgoneo en ella y le pido que los demás tampoco lo hicieran porque sabe lo mucho que odia que fisgonen la capitana británica agradeciendo y diciéndole que se pase por el faro que se la echa de menos

En la casa de reunión del  Aquelare había acabado  Reuben (Embajador) pregunta a mariana si estaba preparada Reuben comienza a decir un discurso a los miembros del Aquelarre mientras que Wisdom va a buscar la salida, pero ven que no le dejan ir Reuben después acabar el discurso dirán que descaderaran a su reina víctima de intromisión de brujos romperemos las cadenas con magia y la traeremos a casa con sangre mutante

Todos los miembros del Aquelarre agarran a Winsdom para ofrecerle como un sacrificio. Windsom dice que por gente como vosotros se avergüenza de su país, Winsdom intenta pedir ayuda a la capitana británica, hasta que es apuñalado por Mariana con una daga.

En la siguiente viñeta se ve cómo a La reina hechicera de Avalon se le rompen las cadenas con las que estaba encadenada gracia al sacrificio y la sangre de mutante que derramó el akelarre para que sea liberada

Rictor está invocando a todos los druidas de esa tierra, mientras se ve cómo una luz verde sale desquebrajando el suelo  y Rictor diciendo que les pedirá el favor de que esta noche le quitaran a alguien una cosa que no merece. 

Del suelo sale un bastón que  lo agarra Rictor sorprendido de que hayan venido y dudando de que si podían hacerlo, tenía miedo de comenzar y después fracasar. Los druidas dicen que podrán hacer todo lo que él ordene. Rictor al escucharlo, levanta el bastón con todos los druidas y dice, A mí, mis druidas, mientras los druidas gritan, salve, se ve un rayo verde que parte el suelo. 

En la siguiente viñeta se ve a Morgan le Fay está estrangulando a unos guardias antes de pasar al portal creado a partir del sacrificio de  mutante. Mariana dice: Ahora abrimos la puerta al bañar su vida maldita con su propia sangre. Mientras se ve a la reina Cruzar el Portal. 

Una nueva costa se ha creado y salva a la nueva isla. La selkies la protegerán bien, dicen los druidas.Qué narices es eso?, dice Rictor. Se ve cómo una luz verde ilumina el faro y una voz conocida se oye por la espalda. ¿También es un mal momento ahora?

Era estrella, se disculpa por cómo se había comportado, debería haber preguntado si te apetecían unos tragos. Si ese hubiera haber sido un buen comienzo, dice Rictor ven que te enseñaré la isla que he creado. Estrella dice: ¿Dónde has estado? Rictor dice: Te diré dónde he estado y dónde estamos ahora.

What’s Happening With Marvel’s X-Men?

https://ift.tt/eA8V8J

This article contains spoilers for recent Marvel X-Men stories.

A long time ago, back at the beginning of the interminable, endless month of March that the pandemic has trapped us in, Marvel’s X-Men books were barrelling towards their first big post-Dawn of X crossover, X of Swords. And then the world stopped, and plans changed for the X-Men while everything was paused.

Now that we’re back, plans have changed, and books are coming fast and furious. So what’s going on with Marvel’s Merry Mutants? Which book did Storm get sick in? What book should you read for a good Laksa recipe? New Mutants, but we can answer all your other questions on what’s going on with the X-Men below. 

While we won’t rehash the entire thing, House of X/Powers of X reset the entire X-Men line. Mutants can’t die anymore (or rather, if they do, they’re resurrected from clone bodies and emergency backup minds by The Five and Professor X). The X-Men, and all mutants alive, are now living on Krakoa, a living, mutant island in the Pacific that, at some point in the distant past, broke in half, sending one part of it to a dangerous, monster-infested realm with Apocalypse’s first Horsemen standing guard making sure it didn’t return. 

Humans are back to hating and fearing mutants on a wide scale, but this time it’s mostly because the mutants are vehemently anti-capitalism, flooding markets with cheap, life-extending and health-improving drugs and vowing to take down the human world with economic weapons of their own making. This has the humans initiating some pretty intense Sentinel programs, particularly around the sun, where Nimrod – the adaptive Sentinel whose existence dooms mutantkind in one Powers of X future – was very nearly created. 

And amidst all of that, Moira MacTaggert, the secret mutant mastermind with the power of Groundhog Lifeing (when she dies, her consciousness is immediately transported back to her prenatal self to be born again with all her old memories. She’s on life ten now, btw), is frantically trying to manipulate events so that mutants continue to exist in the long run as the next phase in human evolution, averting a future where man-machine hybrids (like Omega Sentinels and the Children of the Vault) develop while humans and mutants are busy fighting among themselves. She’s also not allowing Charles and Magneto to revive any mutants with precognitive powers, expecting them to see her plan and ruin Krakoan civilization.

X-Men

X-Men, by mastermind Jonathan Hickman with art mostly from Leinil Yu, is where big ideas are being seeded for later use.

This is where the story of Krakoa and its estranged, otherdimensional partner Arakko was further developed (following its introduction in Powers of X and setting up X of Swords, the first mutant crossover of the Dawn of X era). X-Men introduced Hordeculture (think the Golden Girls if they were also ecoterrorist botanists); reintroduced the Children of the Vault; showed how depowered mutants get in line to get their powers back; and saw Magneto and Apocalypse threaten humankind with the most terrible weapon of all: finance capitalism.

New Mutants

It also, just prior to the break, X-Men had a spiritual crossover with New Mutants, initially a split book by Hickman and Rod Reis on the space issues, and Ed Brisson, Flaviano, and Marco Failla on the Earth issues. Brisson, Flaviano and Failla’s story follows a group of Earthbound mutant kids (including Glob Herman and Boom Boom) as they track down stragglers to Krakoa, like Beak and Angel.

Hickman and Reis took the original New Mutants plus Chamber and Mondo into space to go pick up Cannonball (who was living on Chandi’lar with his wife, Smasher). On the way there, they stole a King Egg from the Starjammers and brought it back to Earth, where it turns out, we discover in X-Men, the King Egg is a bioweapon created by the Kree to control the Brood for an eventual war with the Shi’ar. Broo, the supersmart mutant Broodling from Wolverine and the X-Men, eats the egg and becomes the Brood King.

Excalibur

Excalibur is the shining star of the line so far. Tini Howard and Marcus To are growing the mythos of mutant magic with a very odd team that includes Betsy Braddock (now back in her original body and the new Captain Britain); Rogue and Gambit; Jubilee and her mysteriously dragonified son Shogo; new earth mage Rictor; and Apocalypse, who is clearly up to some stuff. Apocalypse picks a fight with Otherworld and places a newly resurrected but still batshit Jamie Braddock on the throne of the magical realm.

Excalibur was one of the first books to return from hiatus, and it came back with maybe the best single issue of the entire relaunch in issue #10. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Marauders

Marauders launched as the story about the Hellfire Trading Company, the corporate arm of Krakoa that distributes the miracle drugs around the world while also smuggling mutants in trouble home to Krakoa. But Gerry Duggan and Matteo Lolli’s book quickly turned into the mystery of Kitty Pryde – why she’s not able to use the Krakoan gates that allow instantaneous travel around the galaxy, and whether she can be resurrected by The Five. That story has just about come to a head, but it is worth noting that it still contains a great deal of Hellfire Trading Company intrigue between Emma Frost and Sebastian Shaw, and a lot of drunken pirate antics. The resurrected original Pyro does get a tattoo of the Marauders skull on his face at one point. It’s fun.

X-Force

X-Force, by Ben Percy and Joshua Cassara, immediately killed Professor X. He was resurrected, of course, but it served as both a notice that everyone is fair game, and alongside Marauders, keeps some slight mystery to character death alive post-The Five’s perpetual resurrection machine. It’s also the story of the Krakoan CIA, so it sets up the global threats facing the mutant nation, and then sends Wolverine to get cut in half fighting them. Also, Forge creates a bio-mech loader suit and smashes the two halves of Logan back together at one point. If that’s something you find yourself chuckling at, this book is going to exceed expectations.

Fallen Angels

Fallen Angels focused mostly on resetting the current Psylocke’s status quo. Kwannon was brought back to life and placed in her old body shortly before the reboot (very quickly: Spiral switched Psylocke and Kwannon’s bodies, then before they could be reverted, Kwannon got the Legacy Virus and died, then when Betsy used a villain’s powers to recreate her old body and reinhabit it, Kwannon…uh…got better…). Here, she teamed with X-23 and Cable, with ops backup from Mister Sinister, to track down Apoth, a technological being selling cybernetic drugs to humans.

It’s mostly setup for Psylocke, X-23 (now Wolverine again, I think), and Sinister while adding another technological foe to the mix. It leads almost directly into Zeb Wells and Steven Segovia’s Hellions, a book about Sinister’s team of mutants who are all gleefully, unrepentantly screwed up and are currently on a mission cleaning up some old clones Sinister left lying around.

Cable, Wolverine, and More…

Cable, Wolverine and the Giant Size issues, are still mostly seeding future storylines. Cable, from Duggan and Phil Noto, has only had a couple of issues so far, but it’s brought the Galadorians (the Spaceknights minus ROM, who belongs to IDW now, I think) into mutant orbit and given Nathan a sword for the crossover.

Wolverine, by Percy, Adam Kubert and Victor Bogdanove, has Logan tracking down illicit Krakoan flower dealers, and also Omega Red works for Dracula now. And the Giant Size issues are mysteries piled on mysteries piled on incredible art. Hickman has scripted all three, and so far, Storm caught a technovirus from the Children of the Vault in the Jean Grey/Emma Frost issue (drawn by Russell Dauterman); we find out what’s up with Cypher’s techno-organic arm in the Nightcrawler issue (from Alan Davis); Magneto buys Emma an island from Namor with art from Ramon Perez; and we get actual backstory and incredible Rod Reis art in the Fantomex issue. 

Empyre

The recently wrapped Empyre: X-Men’s opening scene is simultaneously one of the most important to the metanarrative of mutant struggle that’s been developing since the Professor’s “No More” scene in House of X #4 AND the best setup/punchline in any Dawn of X comic. It also starts to deliver on some of the rumored-but-never-announced X-Men ideas that were floated early after the reboot – Angel and M are two of the leads, playing out a little of the boardroom drama we hoped for after an X-Corporation book was rumored.

X-Factor

X-Factor, from Leah Williams and David Baldeon, more or less just launched. It’s about the team investigating and verifying mutant deaths, to put those lives into the queue for resurrection. This feels like the book set up to deliver on the weirdest promises of the relaunch, and the creative team are inventive, fun storytellers, so keep an eye on this. Williams has a very sharp ear for patter and knows her characters well – while it’s not an X-book, Amazing Mary Jane is a stunning accomplishment of delightful character work. Early X-Factor is more of the same, with more mutant high concept.

And all this is leading to X of Swords, the new X-writers room’s attempt to outdo X-Cutioner’s Song: a 22-part Tini Howard-led crossover where everyone swordfights over half of Krakoa. And still dangling in the ether, unannounced but long discussed, are Vita Ayala and Bernard Chang’s Children of the Atom, following a group of mutant teenagers who idolize the X-Men, and a Moira X book that’s expected to fill in some of the gaps in Moira’s many, many timelines.

New Mutants #1 Review

*Spoilers!*

The issue starts with Brisson trying to make amends for last years Uncanny by bringing back Rahne.

Krakoa and Doug get their flirt on via Mondo (Krakoa is VERY concerned about Doug’s sleep… 😜).

We then cut to Dani and Roberto talking (and the PAINFUL dialogue of Dani saying Roberto is ‘All man’…). They stop by to see Illyana and Jono, whose found a mutant that has helped grow coffee on Krakoa and all decide to visit Sam who is currently living in the Shi'ar system by hitching a ride with Corsair.

On the Starjammer’s ship is a portal that doesn’t seem to be growing/doing well and affecting how the flowers communicate with each other. Ch'od mentions one of the plants dying and Doug has the idea to stick it in Mondo (this is the real reason people hate and ridicule you Doug….).

Later we see Magik sparring with Raza, as everyone takes bets. Magik wins.

Later we arrive at Benevolence, Corsair is planning to do Pirate stuff and goes over all the previous crimes committed by religious group currently in power, while asking them to stay on the ship (Not gonna lie- I kind of checked out at this point and started multi-tasking watching TV/work/reading this issue at this point...) . The New Mutants agree to stay onboard.

As soon as Roberto leaves to go get bourbon he won from the bet, Dani convinces Magik to teleport them to help free the prisoners from the religious cult (seriously Corsair, you didn’t see this coming?!).

The group finds no prisoners but does find an egg and tries to steal it…only to be caught by the Starjammers. Apparently the cult was just a story to get the New Mutants to stay on the ship…

The Shi'ar find them and as they are escaping, Magik gets shot and the Starjammers (who are kind of pissed about their ship guests) decide to leave them there (not cool, Scott’s dad!).

Roberto back on the ship finds out and gets his a** abandoned as well when he asks the Starjammers to go back. The book ends with Roberto sorta breaking the fourth wall and going after his friends and they all surrender.

Opinions:

Honestly… I may be kind of biased towards Brisson after last year, but…this issue just kind of dragged…

At times it felt more fan-fiction-y than an actual New Mutants comic…

Some of the dialogue felt… weird or forced for certain characters and many character quirks were erased.

I just felt pretty bored and (similarly to how I felt reading NextGen…) kind of checked out for a lot of the book….

That being said; it is somewhat of an improvement over Rosenberg..kind of…

The art in this book is spectacular! Rod Reis kills it!

What’s the point of even having Rahne in a book if you’re not going to do a horrible imitation of a Scottish accent? (to be fair-I also thought this with DeFilippis and Weir….). I feel like Brisson half assed the accents with all the characters (seriously, Jono isn’t Jono if he isn’t morbidly depressed and sounding like Neil Gaiman on a three day coffee bender at some hole in the wall cafe, and wearing a scarf that looks like hacked up yarn a cat or Shogo ate…).

Required Glob cameo fulfilled…

NXM Hellion’s cameo in their old outfits talking to a previously dead Hellion (Man…Emma probably cried three days straight after all of her dead students returns….).

Overall so far I feel like X-Men has still been the best book, with Marauders close behind and Excalibur and New Mutants just being really rough.

I’ve kind of yet to be really impressed by any of these books though and feel like HOX/POX was the stronger part of this new status quo.

Much like Excalibur- I don’t see myself continuing this after issue #2. It’s sad, because I LOVE New Mutants…but this didn’t blow me away.

Theories:

Obviously space lawyer will be appearing... (Can you imagine how great it would be if this was leading to a cameo of Gosamyr or Impossible Man!...but I kind of doubt Brisson will go back that far...)

Really want this next issue to just be Lila Cheney (AKA Marvel’s version of Joan Jett to Dazzler’s Cherie Currie!) teleporting in and saving their a****...but I doubt we are so lucky...

Mondo now has a connection to the Starjammers ship and Corsair will absolutely have a change in heart…Or was planning this ALL ALONG and wanted them to get caught. (Unless Corsair has taken ‘event stupid pills’ and honestly thought they would stay on the ship...which...knowing previous Marvel comic events...could be a possibility...)

So, to commemorate Takahiro Sakurai’s 45th birthday and that FF7 remake is actually happening, I’m going to do another Top 5 Favorite Roles. Here’s my Top 5 Favorite Takahiro Sakurai Roles (and for once, I’m on time yaaayy!!) :

#1: Cloud Strife - Final Fantasy VII

Yes, I’m sorry, I’m an FF trash and I love Cloud. FF7 was the first FF I played, though not the first FF I finished, but still, to this day, it is among my top favorites, and Cloud is still one of my favorite characters and, if I’m being honest here, also one of my first fictional crushes. So when I saw Advent Children back in 2005 or so with Cloud in fully-rendered CG and voiced, I fell in love with him even more. He was the the first Sakurai role I heard and maybe I was biased then but I started following his work after that. And yeah, he may not be a top favorite (since I practically hear him everywhere so he’s not all that unique anymore), but Takahiro Sakurai as Cloud is still one of my favorite performances. Hearing him as Cloud in the new Remake trailer was just awesome! *eargasm* (I’m still squealing every time Cloud speaks. Pls let there be dual audio ><)

#2: Suzaku Kururugi - Code Geass

Can’t talk about this guy without mentioning Suzaku. As I have probably mentioned countless times, Code Geass is a favorite series, and Lelouch is among my top favorite characters. Suzaku comes really close. I love him, despite the flaws he definitely has. Suzaku x Euphy is one of my favorite tragic couples. Code Geass can’t exist without him. Quite a tragic character with a lot of emotional baggage. Sure I cried when he stabbed Lelouch, but it was Suzaku crying and his strained voice when he murmured Lelouch’s name for the last time that did me.

#3: Reigen Arataka - Mob Psycho 100

I have only just started the series this winter season and I have to say that I LOVE REIGEN SO MUCH!!! And Sakurai’s performance makes it all the more worth it! He’s just so cool! He’s awesome! He’s great! He’s flashy yet earnest and he’s a dork who comes up with things on the fly and people actually believe him like...what? xD He’s the perfect mentor Mob could ever ask for! Sure he has some shady sides, but he’s a good guy in his heart and I love him. And Reigen becomes alive with Sakurai voicing him! Aaahhhh XD

#4: Shogo Makishima - Psycho Pass

Yes, I will say that Shogo Makishima is one of the best anime villains ever! What makes Psycho Pass great is this amazing guy. A perfect philosophical man that you can’t help but agree to some of the points he make. And his ending was just perfect! Everything about him is perfect! Psycho Pass wouldn’t have succeeded without him.

#5: Yuuhei Azuma - Cross Game

And I just have to add Cross Game here because he is a favorite character and I just love Sakurai as Azuma. That cool, genius character that becomes endearing as the series goes on. 

Now for some honorable mentions:

HM1: Meme Oshino - Monogatari Series

I’m just sad that he only appears a lot in Bakemonogatari and only mostly got mentions in its sequels. I just like the guy so much and I actually like how he left at the end of Bake, but I’m still wishing he’ll appear again (haven’t finished the series). He was just so cool!

HM2: Takashi Hayashida - Sangatsu no Lion

I almost forgot about him! I loved him! Sangatsu no Lion was just filled with all these heart-warming characters to the brim and I love it so much! (where is season 3??? ><) and that also counts Hayashida-sensei. I often see him as a sort of guardian toward Rei. He clearly loves the kid so much that he even spends his lunch time with him. He has some dorky sides that makes him very lovable. 

HM3: Yuta Sakurai - Net-juu no Susume

Just going to add him here because Net-juu no Susume was a cute series and Yuta Sakurai was a cute character. Listening to Sakurai voicing this character always put a smile on my face because he’s just too cute and my heart can’t take it!!! AAAHHHHH

[VIDEO] PolluSute: "Castor & Pollux" dated April 02, 2023

PERSONAL HIGHLIGHT

Everything. 

From the story with its strong emotional core, funny moments and many surprises to the dynamic and loveable characters and the incredibly gorgeous set design and production, "Castor & Pollux" is an amazing stage play in its own right.

But, for fans who like Ryuji and have followed his career, it is a love letter. 

For fans who like Ryuji and like the worldview he brings to his acting and his lyrics, this is a really comprehensive look into the world he wants to show his fans. 

It’s a play filled with Ryujiisms, references to his past works, songs from ZIPANG OPERA and Ryuji’s own usual attention to detail (hint: contact lens), resonating with his message that he wants to tell his fans. 

"No matter how bad life gets, look up, and wish upon the stars. 

Keep your dreams alive. Keep your hopes alive.

Live.

And, you will find happiness."

P/S: Ryuji’s performance as Seiya is also, just, GUH. 

STORY DESCRIPTION

The year is 2045 AD. Humanity has been wiped out from the Earth due to repeated wars and environmental pollution. The people who have been left behind have made a life together in an underground shelter.

Leaning on each other, there are two brothers who live in a rundown apartment. Igarashi Souji (Fujiwara Itsuki), the older brother who is quick to get into fights but who cares for his friends, and Sho (Shinya Seiji), the kind and gentle younger sibling who writes about his life with his brother in his diary. Having been raised in the shelter since birth, they have never seen the starry night sky, and their dream is to see stars that are real.

Watching over the two brothers, the one who also taught Souji how to fight, is the junk seller Saginuma (Nakamura Seijiro). His buddies in a fight, Ichijo Kengo (Kitazono Ryo), Saruwatari Ryoto (Uekiya Satoshi) and Kijioka Kuon (Yamazaki Shogo) as well as Tsuda Yosuke (Tamura Shogo), who has a strong admiration for Souji, become the brothers' support.

Meanwhile, Shinonome Shuta (Ryu) and Rei Seiya (Sato Ryuji), members of the committee which protects the peace of the city, are marking the impoverished people who are a threat to the public order. Even amongst them, Souji, who has an overwhelming strength, catches Shuta's eye. Using despicable means, he drives the brothers into a corner...
