Really old redraw i finally got around to finishing. Really loved how done Ruri looked in the pic so I wanted to do it lol

[arbitrarygreay]

The 22/7 panel today was some GOOD CONTENT y'all. Having Sally there and a very informal but smart moderator made the panel way more insightful than you'd get anywhere else, for various unique reasons, and I don't just mean comedy content. Sally was very candid about the harsh realities of the industry. There was a good amount of serious talk about dealing with rude feedback both from industry people and randos online. Not to say that there wasn't also lots of great entertainment. For starters, the moderator did a great job using "what did you do in the area?" as ice breaker talk, because he had accompanied them on their tourist activities. So he could tell anecdotes that the girls wouldn't tell, and prod them for their specific reactions to specific events, rather than just "we went here and here" stuff. This is the sort of thing Kawakami did for Momoclo on Ustream, where he would provoke reactions beyond basic answers, so that not everything was at the mercy of if the girls remembered a certain story, or if they even could tell it well. Then we had a lot of aforementioned serious talk, and I think that because Sally and the moderator were talking so informaly but also so frankly, that pushed the other girls to also up their answer game, going beyond rote answers and going more in-depth in their details and feelings. But then, we had a "tell a secret about the other members corner," and boy, was it glorious. With other idols, this question still tends to produce "tee-hee, yada~" tame reactions that don't really go anywhere, unless you have a rare host really willing to dig in, overreact and make a mountain out of the secret molehill to provoke the idol. However, Sally actually provided some image-breaking teasing of her fellow member Ruri, and Ruri got really put out, and it was like Idol Maury, with 3rd attending member Kanae going all TiredBenAffleck.jpg while Sally and Ruri kept taking potshots at each other and slouched in their chairs lol. It was great. (Yo Sally, if you're reading this, you could always do janky French/Spanish for your self PR talent showcase next time!) It was definitely the kind of stuff that makes fans out of strangers.

If all the secrets were to disappear from the world, I think everyone would live in even more sadness. That’s why I can’t be honest with you.

[jewlwpet]

At the Crunchyroll Expo, Sally Amaki said that she views her character, Sakura, as her daughter, and the two other 22/7 members who were there, Ruri (Jun) and Kanae (Akane) said that they ALSO view the characters they voice as their daughters, and I think that’s beautiful.

oh no, star trek: the crystal generation and its not the same one the other minibangers were thinking of

moon kingdom never fell

somehow history manages to produce the 21st century of star trek anyway

there is time travel bc both have time travel

inners and outers and earth friends (naru, asanuma, umino, the x-files club friends, former villains, family members) start out the crew with usagi as the captain like in martian successor nadesico

they pick up chibiusa/ruri/wesley crusher in the future with the asteroid senshi and helios and the meanads/maenads and the amazon trio

they pick up the SMC shitennou via transporter beam and alternate history once they have chibiusa and setsuna and helios and saturn figuring out where to look, bc their ship's doctor (or science officer, mamoru and ami are hard to sort that way) is sad and misses his rock boys

turns out theres a fuckton of named crew on that little ship

My Review of 22/7

How did I get into this anime? Fuck it! I picked a random anime to watch for the winter line-up. Let’s hit it!

22/7 is an idol group for real in Japan with one hell of a fanbase. LET’S GIVE THEM THEIR OWN ANIME!

Okay!

So, eight total strangers are picked by random to become part of an idol group. That’s essentially it! Eight girls who don’t know each other are told to meet some gorilla producer at a zoo and told to drop everything in their lives to become idols. What the literal and actual fuck?!

First of all, the concept of having all of these young girls being eyed and taken to some underground penthouse has Jeffery Epstein AND R. Kelly vibes ALL OVER THIS MESS! Although, I will give this anime some credit that these girls are at least high school age or older (but not by much)!

We’ve got a shy, introvert named Miu. Then there’s the blonde, cutie from America, Sakura. Nicole, the only one with an interest of becoming an idol. Junko, the spunky girl with butt-loads of energy. The no-nonsense and let’s get down to business, Akane. Miyako, the girl with sisterly love. The practical one, Reika. And Ayaka...she’s also in the group! These eight girls make up the group, 22/7 (a group name to this day I’m not sure why it’s called that).

They are then told to obey a wall…

OH FOR FUCK’S SAKE! A wall? Seriously?! A God-damned wall?! These girls and the people promoting 22/7 are to obey plates that are shit out by a wall! I know idol animes are notorious for fucked up storylines, but…I can’t even here! Becoming idols because it’s been your life-long dream like in Idolm@ster, that is fine! Becoming idols in order to save your school from being shut down like in Love Live, that is fine! Becoming idols because an eccentric necromancer brings you back from the dead like in Zombieland Saga, fucking awesome! A wall that must be obeyed when giving decisions on an idol group…what the literal and actual fuck!

Here’s what most episodes are set up like.

1. The Wall gives out an order. 2. One of the girls doesn’t want to do *insert activity here*. 3. Flashbacks play off and on for girl of the day. 4. You must do what The Wall says. 5. I don’t want to. 6. BITCH, DON’T GO AGAINST THE WALL. THE WALL IS GOD!!! 7. Pout, contemplate, and more flashbacks play. 8. Fine, I’ll do it. 9. Play the ending theme!

BETWEEN THE SUB AND THE DUB: This anime is licensed by the good folks at Aniplex (and possibly FUNimation). Crunchyroll added this one month after the initial release. If you’re all wondering why that’s happening to a lot of Crunchyroll-picked animes, yeah keep wondering. Sony has control over Aniplex and FUNimation and as a result Crunchyroll has a delay on several animes (including this one). It’s an inconvenience and just raises the rates of people downloading the episodes illegally. Once again, thanks for nothing, Sony! Give Crunchyroll some credit as they do give people in other countries streaming benefits. FUNimation is primarily U.S.

With that rant off my chest, on with the cast! Now this might just be first episode jitters and all, but a lot of the voices here seemed very bland. And you know it’s gotta be that bad if even I am riffing on the voices…FROM JAPAN! Well, much like many other idol shows like Idolm@ster and Love Live, the voices for the girls are only going to be known for their Idol group work. With the exception of two girls, this is everyone’s first official anime role. Here’s everyone!

*Miu is played by Nagomi Saijou

*Sakura is played by Sally Amaki (known for Betsy on Kaguya-sama)

*Jun is played by Ruri Umino

*Reika is played by Chiharu Hokaze (known for Silvia on Fate/Grand Order)

*Akane is played by Kanae Shirosawa

*Ayaka is played by Reina Miyase

*Miyako is played by Mizuha Kuraoka

*Nicole is played by Mei Hanakawa

FAVORITE CHARACTER: Miu.

Prior to episode 11, it was more of a me connecting with this particular character due to having many introvert connections. But after Nicole’s flashback where Miu beats the crap out of a bully, Miu is best girl.

IDOL TROPES: So let’s see if 22/7 has the usual tropes normally seen in many other idol animes.

* A shy, introvert character (right from second one) * A bitch who thinks she knows all about the idol world (not as bad as Dia, but heavy on the bitch part, yes) * Shotty CGI for the dance scenes (right in the fucking opening) * Bikini episode (check) * One of the girls has a fuck-ton of siblings and is one of the most eccentric of the bunch (oh yeah) *A robotic character or IS A ROBOT (Akane is not a robot, but she’s monotone for like 96% of the series excluding flashbacks)

ENDING: It’s been close to one year since all eight of these girls were chosen for this “project” We’ve already seen back-stories/flashbacks of almost all of the girls (except for Nicole and Miu) and now 22/7 is about to prepare for their one year anniversary as a group. But then the wall gave out an order! And the plate simply read, “Disband”.

Could you be any more cliché?

Maybe it wasn’t obvious for you, but for me I knew that was coming. And no, this wasn’t a joke! There wasn’t smudge on the wall’s platelet. These girls are to disband, lie their way through a press conference explaining the disbandment, all the people a part of this experiment are out of a job, and the girls are to go back to their regular lives before any of this happened.

Can they though?

These girls just spent a whole year being thrust into a position they never expected to be in and leaving their families and future plans behind. These girls are late-teens; they’re trying to prepare for work or college! A lot of them even had to work through a lot of baggage weighing them down (particularly Jun, Akane, and Reika)! Then all of a sudden, the wall shits out an order and says to disband. There was nothing wrong with the higher-ups or the group. Everyone was now enthusiastic about doing everything possible to make 22/7 a household name. But because a fucking wall gave the command to disband, everyone’s gotta drop their shit, lose their income (which some people like Reika, Ayaka, and Miyako could use), and just pull-out of already planned events.

THEN, you make the girls lie their way through a press conference by giving vague answers to the media about the disbandment! In my opinion, the girls could have lied and said there was fall-out at the top and it was out of their hands. I know the girls can’t simply say, “the magical wall told us to disband and we can’t go against the almighty wall”.

Well, we’re about two episodes away from the finale and it’s about time to see the backstories of Miu and Nicole. Believe it or not, these two have a history that goes back a ways (though it seems like Miu doesn’t remember Nicole). Would you believe that Nicole was once a shy introvert with a stuttering complex? Yeah, it’s true. The character who was seen as a bitch from episode one was once a shy, introvert.

It wasn’t until Nicole was pushed to do something against her will and a little help from Miu that she was able to come out of her shell. But enough of the flashback!

It’s now one month since the girls were told to disband. And for one reason or another, all eight of the girls made their way to the old production building. I guess they were all feeling nostalgic for the one year they spent as idols. They have a good cry. And all of a sudden…

The wall spoke?!

The wall pretty much said that this was merely an experiment and when the girls asked to reunite, the wall denied them. So then Miu goes savage on the wall…

Okay, Miu is best girl of this series!

The other girls follow suit and break the wall, making an opening.

Once inside, the girls stumbled upon something quite disturbing. These girls have been tracked, not only throughout their idol careers, but before then too! There were shots of the girls when they were children! What kind of freakshow, One Hour Photo, Truman Show, fucked up shit is this?! This is all sorts of WRONG! How is this fucker not in jail? WHO IS THIS FUCKER?! No, I will not be quiet about this! Everything about this is so fucka wrong I can’t even! Who follows little girls secretly for most of their lives taking pictures of them? Let’s think about that…

*Perverts *Fucking perverts *R. Kelly *Oingo Boingo levels of perversion *State of Florida levels of perversion *Jefferey Epstein

New theory that goes along with old theory! Jefferey Epstein was killed in prison when his neck was snapped because AG Bill Barr sat on it. And before the devil sentences him to a lifetime of misery and woe, he gives him one last chance to atone for his actions. Instead, he stalks little girls in Japan. HOLY SHIT, THIS IS STARTING TO MAKE SENSE!

Medea…the review?!

Oh right!

The girls leave the disturbing room (never to be seen or talked about again) and I guess we’re never gonna get a clue on the identity of our pervert that hides behind a wall. They walk away and end up on a stage. And in the audience, were all their loyal and devoted fans. You see, they happened to gather on what was supposed to be their one year anniversary and their fans held out hope that they would still perform on their anniversary like they promised before the disbandment notice hit.

They performed. I guess 22/7 is back together. I guess we can disobey the wall just this once.

The wall shits out a new platelet saying add 3 more members.

We end seeing those three new girls that we may or may not see again. It depends on whether 22/7 was good enough to warrant a season two.

If the Jeffery Epstein rants weren’t an indicator, I was not fond of this series. Maybe I was just turned off at the concept of eight total strangers being told all of a sudden they’re idols because a fucking wall commanded it. I’m pretty sure it’s because of the storyline involving a wall and having to obey it. The songs were just okay, whenever we got to hear them. Unlike a lot of other idol animes, we really didn’t see a lot of performances from 22/7 outside of the opening and ending themes.

The one thing I was really invested in were surprisingly the flashbacks from all of the girls. A lot of these stories do lay on the drama really thick. But you really wish that everything’s gonna work out in the end. Like you really wish Miyako could see her biological father again or want a happy ending for Akane and her family. But then you get a back-story like Jun’s. Oof, that one was a gut-punch! I’m no fan of this show, but episode 7 is the go-to episode.

Now, I’ll watch 22/7 if it gets a season two. I try not to give up on an anime, no matter how much it annoys me. I like to see things through to the bitter end. But as for recommendations, there are far better idol shows to choose from.

Yes, I see that it’s a stretch to say there are GOOD idol shows. I know the stigma and hate that they get. But I am not one of those people. I thought Idolm@ster was okay. I liked Love Live just fine. UtaPri amuses me (and yes I count it as an idol show). Zombieland Saga, fuck yeah! This, not so much!

But if you want to watch, FUNimation has all 12 episodes available for streaming. And Crunchyroll has…a few as of this date and time. Again I point out that Crunchyroll couldn’t even get streaming rights to this until a full month after it began airing. Thanks again, Sony!

La segunda ola del Corona virus llegó al anime.

El primero fue Mushoku Tensei, sin embargo en los últimos días, otras producciones más han anunciado retrasos en sus estrenos como :

Shin no Nakama ja Nai to Yuusha no Party wo Oidasareta node, Henkyou de Slow Life suru Koto ni Shimashita.

La historia de Red, un aventurero que forma parte del grupo que estaba peleando en contra del rey demonio pero que no pudo equipararse al poder de sus compañeros, y al final, un compañero hechicero señaló, “tú no eres un verdadero miembro del equipo”, tras lo cual fue hechado del grupo.

Con su corazón completamente roto, Red se distanció de la batalla contra el ejército del Rey Demonio, a pesar de saber que el destino del mundo dependía de ello, y ahora se disponía a vivir una vida tranquila en la frontera, y ganar dinero abriendo una tienda de herbolaria utilizando el conocimiento adquirido durante sus viajes. Fecha original de transmisión: Julio, atrasado para Octubre.

https://youtu.be/DU-SIjqfENM

Sekai Saiko no Ansatsusha, Isekai Kizoku ni Tensei Suru.

La historia de un anciano que había vivido su vida como el mayor asesino del mundo y que muere cuando el el avión en el que viajaba fue saboteado. Sin embargo se sorprende al despertado por una diosa que quería reencarnarlo en un mundo de espadas y magia porque necesita su conjunto de habilidades para evitar la destrucción de ese mundo a manos del Héroe. Aceptando esta petición, el protagonista despierta como Lugh Tuatha Dé y jura finalmente vivir su vida al máximo como ser humano y no como una herramienta. Fecha original de transmisión: Julio, atrasado para Octubre.

https://youtu.be/4ftVLBguuYc

Sloow Loop

La historia cuenta la vida de Hiyori, una chica que disfruta de la pesca, una actividad que le transmitió su difunto padre. En un día típico en la playa, se encuentra con Koharu, quien resulta ser su nueva hermanastra del nuevo matrimonio de su madre.

Fecha original de transmisión: aunque no tenía fecha se rumoraba que por la temática se estrenaría en julio, pero hace unas horas fue anunciado que se estrenaría en Enero del próximo año.

https://twitter.com/slowloop_tv/status/1395665670549872641?s=21

Otro detalle es que se rumora que algunos actores de doblaje han contraído la enfermedad, cosa que no ha sido confirmada, y solo han sido confirmados los casos de Ruri Umino y Moe Suzuhana, integrantes del grupo 22/7, las cuales habían estado activas promocionando la segunda temporada del anime “22/7 Second Season”.

https://twitter.com/227_staff/status/1395333682286645248?s=21

Así que viendo los acontecimientos recientes se espera que hallan más anuncios de retrasos en los próximos días, tal como sucedió hace casi un año cuando comenzó la pandemia por Corona virus.
