Very normal thing to say about your rival unprompted.

Wrapped Tight Together

Pre-Izumi/Keiko/Saori, 700+ words

“What are you doing here?”

“Sleepover. Duh.”

Saori’s face is bright and peppy as always, and so is Keiko’s slightly more wicked grin (but only visibly, the both of them are full of wiles as they are full of care, and they may drive her insane one day, but she may end up letting them), so Izumi concludes that she is very much in danger.

“That you planned last minute,” Izumi says, still in disbelief. She checks her clock. “At 10 in the evening. On a Tuesday.”

“Oh, you’re no fun,” Keiko says. She holds up a bag. “We brought food and everything.”

“Well, if you brought food,” Izumi jokes, but the others are already sitting down and setting up. She sighs. “Then sure. Why not.”

only just now finding out that geo9875 (the subber of Sukeban Deka III, Magical Chinese Girl Paipai and an insane amount of 80s Sukeban shows) a few months ago did a new encoding of Shoujo Commando Izumi; basically just putting Big Nova's subs onto the higher quality DVDs. I didn't expect we'd be getting any Shoujo Commando Izumi news this year but here we are, the show now looks even better to watch!!

hello! apologies if I've already left you an ask, sometimes that happens due to my memory issues... but I just wanted to let you know that I got caught up in looking into the sukeban movement, which led me to the tag on tumblr, which, in turn, led me to your posts about shoujo commando izumi... I have since found the show on internet archive and watched the first episode... I'm obsessed already oh em gee... I can already tell this show is gonna be fire and I haven't even got to the gay parts yet. so I wanted to say thank you for being the reason I found this show, as I'm sure to enjoy the rest of it very much! also, if you need anyone to talk to about it, know that I'd be very down to do so o7 no pressure though, of course!

I'm so happy that someone is going to watch Shoujo Commando Izumi because of my posts! It's so fun!

The person who uploaded the series onto internet archive, although they weren't the ones who subbed that particular show, they are a fansubber and they have subbed some other sukeban live action. Though, not everything they've fansubbed is on their livejournal (where I've gotten the archive links to everything I've watched from them), just the most recent stuff. I want to watch some of the other stuff they've subbed, especially S1 of live-action Sukeban Deka, but I haven't really figured out where to get it yet. I may have to make an account on drama-otaku or something.

And yeah, you can DM me to talk about Shoujo Commando Izumi any time!!

Survive

Izumi character study, 600+ words

Her dreams are full of bombs she can run from.

Gunshots and explosions and running and—

Gojo Izumi is alone and she has been for a long time. By the time she arrived here fighting was already akin to photosynthesis - easy and natural and needed to survive, to be able to eat and breathe and feel, but not close to the things a teenage girl should need. A girl is a bud, but she is not a plant, and Izumi has been stepped on so many times that bud may very well be dead before it blossoms.

Even if she escapes, she cannot go back. A reminder over and over floods through on the speakers.

Early on, she screamed and cried and banged on her own door, but it never went anywhere.

Early on, she tried to talk to the boy next door, but the both of them were beat for it.

Early on, she…

no fucking way

this post is sukeban erasure

Hana no Asuka Gumi (above)

"The story centers around the 14-year old sukeban, the titular Asuka Kuraku, and her various misadventures dealing with rival gangs and rowdy enemies. Armed with her trusty gold coin and chain, she uses her raw strength and quick wits to survive the streets and protect her loved ones."

sukeban deka (above)

"A 16-year-old sukeban named Saki Asamiya is offered by the police to become an undercover detective to escape prison. She initially refuses, so the police blackmail her by offering to pardon her mother, who is on death row for killing her husband, eventually forcing her to accept."

Some IRL women driven action

"A wandering tough biker girl aids a female delinquent gang in their battles against an all-male Seiyu group over a fixed boxing match."

Hana no asuka Gumi TV Series

The extremely popular tv adaption of manga above

Shojo/shoujo commando Izumi

"A high school girl, Izumi Gojo, who has been found guilty of murder, falls into the sea and disappears when running away from the police. However, a mysterious group rescues her and had her undertake training to transform her into an assassin. Years later, Izumi seeks to escape the group."

also like i'm not a big fan of people saying "just go read shoujo" in response to anime fans complaining about misogyny in anime, because like don't get me wrong shoujo is great, i've had a good time with it, but i'm not sure if the hyper-feminine girl genre that focuses on romance should be like the only anime female anime fans are expected to watch. that and it low key feels like it's reinventing the pink aisle.
