#an original toei animation.

[arytha]

well i guess i have a new anime to watch sometime ?

[xamaxenta]

OKAY HES SO CUTE PLEASE …

I still dont really like this colour scheme much but now that its in a different lighting it’s slightly better

[moongothic]

Look I love the OP anime, like it has Issues Galore and yet despite that it's an absolute treasure with so much artistic value and beauty to it, there's just as much good to the anime as there is bad and I unironically love it so, so very much

But it never fails to crack me up how much Toei just hated Crocodile's guts and went out of their way to disrespect the man at every turn during Impel Down/Marineford

Like look at this panel of Crocodile clashing against Mihawk to defend Luffy

The power, the sheer force of the impact, I can HEAR the way metal meets metal in this panel (and not because of the sound effect that's blocking half the bloody art). The way Crocodile jumps in out of nowhere to completely dominate the shot to everyone's (Luffy, Mihawk and us the readers) surprise and asserting his dominance, hiding Luffy from Mihawk's sight entirely and showing that he is force to be reckoned with. The movement in the art, the dynamic composition and posing, the dimension and depth, it's SUCH a good action panel, it's so fucking good

And the anime is just

Toei did my man so dirty

[shannonsketches]

TIL Toei invented Kale and Toriyama designed Caulifla and based on the changes in the manga I feel like the conversation was like:

Toei: We made a femme Broly for the show! I think we should do a new movie about him, too. He's very popular. Tori: Aw, neat! I always liked Broly's concept. Here's a girlfriend for her. Toei: Amazing. We will center their story around Goku and Cabbe. Tori: Horrible! We'll be changing that entirely for the manga. Toei: But..? Goku needs the challenge for his angelic state 'cause he'll die if- Tori: 'Cause he'll die?? Why do you guys keep insisting on Goku being such a dramatic hero? Y'know what, yeah, let's do a new movie for Broly. I want to change his story too. Toei: ?? Change his sto- Tori: Goku's got nothing to do with his backstory now. Goku doesn't win! Nobody wins! Everybody wins! Frieza gets his ass beat for an hour and Broly gets cute new friends who love him. Toei: But s- Tori: Go sit in the corner and think about your choices while I write this whole next movie about Piccolo and Pan. Toei: Piccolo and Pan?! Tori: Piccolo and Pan. And you know what else? Just to drive this point home? In this movie, Vegeta- Toei: ...You wouldn't. Tori: --Is finally going to beat Goku. Onscreen. In front of everybody. Toei: No. Tori: And I think women are going to be in charge of the next series. Toei: You monster. Tori: I'll see you in hell. Tori: And also in a few months when I finish this script about how cool Piccolo is. Tori: ...Fucking love Piccolo.

[dimdiamond]

I have mixed feelings for Toriyama but damn I find his attitude towards the fans fucking hilarious

Average DB fan: We want cool and powerful battles!

DB creator: I want cute and funny moments (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠)

Guys the Coin Tea OVA is real I swear it was on TV just the other night

[no1ryomafan]

This randomly only came to my mind from a brief conversation with a friend in dms but is there legit ANY mecha where it’s centered around supports? Yes I’m being serious here despite not being huge on sports in both regards of playing them and watching shows about them, but my brain was tickled by this idea. And yes I’m aware of Iron Leaguers existence before any asks-kinda hard not to when I have a handful of moots really into it-but I’m for once strictly talking about self piloted mecha. I need to know if there is something out there that exists where a giant robot fights another robot in a game of soccer only because that mental image is really funny to imagine.

▶️ GIRLS BAND CRY: PRIMO TRAILER PER L'ORIGINALE SERIE MUSCIALE TARGATA TOEI ANIMATION IN ARRIVO DAL 5 APRILE!

Lo so, la computer grafica rende sempre tutto un po' strano, ma l'espressività in questo caso non sembra affatto male.

Inoltre, ho fiducia nello staff che c'è dietro. Alla regia abbiamo Kazuo Sakai (Love Live! Sunshine!!, Mushi-Uta), la sceneggiatura è del buon Jukki Hanada (Love Live!, Sound Euphonium) e le musiche sono firmate Kenji Tamai (Samurai Flamenco, Sing "Yesterday" for Me) e Yusuke Tanaka.

Altra curiosità, il chara design è ad opera di Nari Teshima, che ha creato l'avatar per la VTuber Hoshimachi Suisei :3

Upcoming Magical Girl Projects

Magical girl fans are finally eating good after years of starvation. So good, in fact, that I decided to make a list of magical girl projects in development.

The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used to Be Archenemies - The most imminent of these projects, since it's premiering only in a few days. It's the story of the forbidden romance between the magical girl Byakuya Mimori and Mira, a high-ranking official of an army trying to take over the world.

Mermaid Magic - In a new western magical girl show from the same studio as Winx Club, Princess Merlinda, with her friends Sasha and Nerissa in tow, ventures to the human world in order to find a way to save her homeland of Mertropia from the ghost pirate Barbarossa and his monster horde. Dropping on Netflix next month.

Acro Trip - One of several new magical girl series coming out in the Fall 2024 anime season, Acro Trip follows Chizuko Date as her efforts to increase appreciation for her idol, local magical girl Berry Blossom, takes her down a "dark path filled with strange folks."

Magilumiere Magical Girls Inc. - Kana Sakuragi is having a hard time finding work, botching over 15 different job interviews. However, her luck changes when a series of events lands her a job at the magical girl company Magilumiere.

The Story of the Girl Who Couldn't Become a Wizard - The third of the magical girl anime coming out in October, MahoNare for short tells the story of Kurumi Mirai as she tries to become a wizard anyways after failing to get into her school's magic division.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie - Walpurgisnacht Rising - The fourth PMMM movie, which will pick up where Rebellion's massive cliffhanger left off. It's currently set to come out sometime later this year.

Cute High Earth Defense Club Eternal Love! - The magical boy series is getting a new movie in winter 2025 as part of the celebrations for its 10th anniversary. While the movie will "consist entirely of new scenes that will be newly drawn," exact plot details are unknown. (Added August 7, 2024)

Mahou Tsukai Precure: Mirai Days - A new installment in the Precure franchise, Mirai Days will serve as a sequel to Mahou Tsukai, the thirteenth season. Even though it's premiering early next year, specific plot details are currently unknown.

Princess Session Orchestra - A TV original coming next year, Princess Session Orchestra is based on a concept by Akifumi Kaneko, one of Symphogear's co-creators. The land of Alicepia's peace is destroyed when monsters called Jammerwocks attack, prompting a trio of young girls to step up the plate to protect the realm.

Winx Club - The western magical girl classic is getting a CGI reboot. While comments by Iginio Straffi imply that certain characters who were introduced later in the original series (such as Roxy and Nabu) will appear earlier, no specific plot details have been revealed so far. The series is coming to Netflix late next year.

New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt - Panty & Stocking is getting a second season after over a decade that's coming out sometime next year with no specific plot details revealed yet. (Added August 7, 2024)

Project Symphogear Next - A new Symphogear movie was announced late last year. However, no further details have been revealed.

Hua Xianzi: Zhi Mofa Xiang Dui Lun - A co-production between Tencent Video and Toei Animation's Shanghai branch, this anime is being billed as a "remake" of Lunlun the Flower Fairy. That being said, promises of "a fresh story and characters" make it sound more like a reboot.

Studio Pierrot's new anime - Studio Pierrot, which has made a variety of magical girl anime from Creamy Mami to Tokyo Mew Mew, has announced that they're creating a new TV original magical girl anime. No specific details have been disclosed, but the caption for the teaser image ("I want you to sing once more...") implies that it'll be a magical idol anime.

Lolirock season three - After Lolirock's second season ended with a cliffhanger all the way back in 2017, it seemed like the story would never get a proper conclusion. However, the series's creator and director, Jean-Louis Vandestoc, announced on his Instagram in 2023 that creative meetings for a third season have begun.

Magic Knight Rayearth revival - TMS Entertainment is making a new Magic Knight Rayearth anime in honor of the franchise's 30th anniversary. Unfortunately, it's currently unknown what the format will be.

Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card season two - The sequel to the magical girl classic is getting a second season that will adapt the rest of the manga.

Magical Girl holoWitches - A multimedia project starring six VTubers as fictionalized versions of themselves who work as both streamers and magical girls who save people when they get trapped in the magical Holocas World. There was a four minute extended trailer in May, but the anime's proper premiere date is unknown.

Ojamajo Doremi 16-20's - An adaptation of Ojamajo Doremi's light novel sequel series, which follows the girls as they grow from being in their mid-teens to early 20s. Interestingly, the format for the adaptation (TV show, movie, or streaming series) will be based on the reception of a music video featuring the girls as adults.

@taikouvember!

Prompt: Love Commentary: This A.U. became a thing sometime around 2019+onwards in Koushiro fanbase partially due to a series of active discussions between Koushiro fans in the tags and elsewhere (including Me!), most of us who were perturbed that people making Miraculous Ladybug AUs for the fandom didn't immediately place Koushiro as Ladybug despite the fact that Tentomon, whose name literally comes from Tento{u}mushi / 天道虫 {Ladybug} and is akin in looks to one, should make that kind of placement pretty automatic.

We knew that the likely ""reasoning"" is that Koushiro is often considered "unpopular"/""boring"" to other fans, thus resulting in Koushiro's frequent dismissal from not only inclusion in fanfiction, support for Koushiro's wider canon post-02 within meta, and commentaries as a whole but also within many A.U.s (often being regulated to a ""pair the spares"" role in shipping and then immediately ignored by people outside Koushiro-focused fandom); the other reasoning being the fact the girls are just immediately picked for the role a bit more (when not considered with thoughtfulness from their actual fans) due to gender stereotyping regardless of Koushiro's partner literally being close to a ladybug - and that same gendered stereotyping likely also affecting Koushiro never being chosen for such A.U. roles by the wider fandom, without Koushiro fans ourselves bringing the points (and hypocrisy) up.

The rest of us (including many of us in KouTai{/shiro} fandom) were basically saying "fuck that!!" and thus this A.U. was born! Not long after, Kizuna previews; were dropping by 2020, so within my AMVs, I was only just getting to include Kizuna footages by the time, and mainly only stuck to footage from the previews for this A.U.

For my specific A.U., I use "MIRACULOUS? Koushiro" for the title; indicating the "Miraculous" title as a QUESTION; (as if it's something Koushiro's own self is Also Questioning, {but also it's a Koushiro vs Society's Perceptions of Koushiro dynamic; as Koushiro is canonically an ADOPTEE from a Non-normative family} while other Koushiro fans who contribute to it may at times use varying titles or A.U. concepts! However, my "in the rain" AMV was also one of the earliest contributions, as I originally finished that one sometime around September 2019, and actively talked about it with other Koushiro fans around at time.

If you love both Koushiro, and Miraculous Ladybug; (even if you don't ship KouTai{/shiro} as romantic); Please feel free to contribute to this A.U. at any time!! (It is also fine to portray the rest of the Chosen and/or M.L's wider cast within the A.U/A.U. roles, though this specific parody isn't meant as a 1:1 version!) The rest of Koushiro fans who are also M.L. fans would love to see your contributions as well!! {Just please remember; Yes, it was inclusive KouTai{/shiro} fandom who also had an active hand in creating this A.U. for Koushiro so please respect that fact!!}

Digimon Adventure/02/Tri/Kizuna AMV [PREVIEW] ~ A.M.V. featuring pairing: Koushiro(u) Izumi x Taichi Yagami ~ “ ‘Ladybug’ ” {Un-official Title} Music from the M.L. P.V. {the Anime-style trailer by Toei Animation that the M.L. series originated from}

{Feel free to compare the two to ‘See What I Did There TM’!} (Note: Select “H.D.” setting on A.M.V. for better quality!) (Click the gear icon on the video, ‘Quality’ menu, and ‘1080p’!) A.U. A.M.V Spin-off of my KouTai/Taishiro(u) fic-verse “REPEAT?_” - but this AMV can be viewed as a standalone too ! (For most past A.M.V.s in the series + Notes, check here!) [For my later M.L. A.U. A.M.V. “In the rain”, view it here!] * Please read ALL notes (authors’ notes at the beginning + ends of each chapter) before/if you read the fic! (The fic deals with some heavy subject matters which are all included in the notes!)**

Every time I talk to a DB fan who doesn't know or doesn't agree that the whole franchise is an adventure comedy first and an action series second I feel insane but then I find an old Toriyama interview,

You made some comedic scenes where you have minor villains Pilaf & co. appear; how did you come up with a balance between laughs and fierce battles? Do you pay attention to the difference between comedy and battle in making a work “entertaining”?

I believe that, when you combine comedy and serious battles, both of them might come alive even more. As for me personally, though, I much prefer drawing dumb jokes to battle scenes.

as a bonus, every time I'm like 'idk I didn't really like most of the DBZ movies prior to Yo Son Goku and Friends Return and BotG,' and get the 'whAAaaT they're so gOOD' (from my brother, tbh askdjs) but they all seemed really Action-Drama and About the Fight Scenes and I'm like 'meh kinda boring tbh' I get to gaze upon,

In the latest movie, Toriyama-san, you participated in the production from the scriptwriting stage for the first time. What is the reason for that? Was there anything you noticed in coming face-to-face with the work after so long?

I was told about a project for Dragon Ball in its first animated film in a long while, and I read the story outline; while the beings “Beerus, God of Destruction” and “Super Saiyan God” (which goes above Super Saiyan) were interesting, the themes were heavy, and I felt that the world was a bit different from Dragon Ball. Rather than telling them about this or that problematic spot, I thought it would be faster if I just wrote it out concretely, and while I had intended just to give them a model―”for example”―my hand wouldn’t stop, and ultimately, I ended up writing almost everything, including the dialogue. I am reflecting on the fact that I did something terribly rude to the scriptwriter.
