Daisuke reacting to Tsubasa wearing the hair clips he brought her for Christmas... I think this with every Aozora Yell volume but the cuteness levels of those two are too high!

The Storm Dynasty-- a name associated with greatness and royalty. Descendants of Susanoo, one of the world's first Heroes, and his wife Amaya, the family has secured their place in the world of heroism as a pillar. Famous for their weather based Gifts, the dynasty is made up of five families: the Amarai, Yukimura, Yukigumo, Kumosuku, and Yokoshiro.

While they present an image of a solid, powerful family with a strong bond to the public, they are still a family; and every one has drama. Only, they're good at keeping their drama away from the cameras.

The elders from each family gathered around a long wooden table, seated next to a relative from their respective clan. Some talked to their relatives while others continued to get settled in. Everyone went silent once a man with dark blue hair stood up.

"Good afternoon, everyone. I've called this meeting today to discuss a few topics concerning our family," Hirosora said.

Hirosora, called Rainmaker back in his Hero days, was the former patriarch of the Amarai family. He's the eldest son of Blue Sky, whom he knew as his father Aozora Amarai.

"Of course. There's been many recent developments going on," Fuyuko, matriarch of the Yukimura family, replied.

Like many others in her family, Fuyuko used to be a heroine--Ice Angel was her name back then. "Go ahead, Hirosora."

Hirosora nodded. "Thank you. As many of you know, my daughter Oya is getting married next month. The ceremony will take place in our ancestral home and I'm sure many of you will be there," he began.

News of Hirosora's daughter Oya's engagement and upcoming wedding filled both him and his wife with joy. Both were excited to see her married and to eventually become grandparents.

"However, it is important that I tell you that I made a very controversial decision without consulting any of you."

"That's alright. I mean, we're all adults here," Raiha, patriarch of the Kumosuku, replied. "Lay it on us."

Hirosora went silent for a few minutes before clearing his throat. All eyes had fallen to him as they awaited his words. This is what he, and many, called "the calm before the storm".

And a big storm this would be.

"I have decided to release my brother Raiden from exile."

Suddenly, the room erupted into noise with many of his relatives yelling and scolding him for such a decision. Some even swore at him while others looked like they wanted to strangle him.

"SILENCE!" A voice ripped through the room, making all fall into quietness. Standing at Hirosora's side was his wife Uche. She was a relatively small woman with deep brown skin and black hair slicked back into a ponytail.

"My husband has made a fair assessment of his decision! Are you all so petty as to let something like this tear us apart before my daughter's wedding?" Uche reprimanded the others. "Madness! For shame!"

"You shut your mouth! You don't know what he did!" Fuyuko yelled, earning her a death glare from Uche. But that didn't deter her anger towards Hirosora, who simply stood there in silence.

"Have you lost your mind?!" She pointed an accusatory finger at him. "How could you let that...that beast back in our house?! Knowing what he tried to do?!"

As Uche piped up to respond, she was met with Hirosora's hand to her shoulder. He then met Fuyuko's furious gaze.

"I understand the concerns and anger many of you have with my decision-"

Raiha slammed his fists on the table as his hair turned dark and rumbled with thunder. "Concerns?! He tried to kill my father because he was being disqualified!"

"Silence!" Hirosora slammed his cane down on the ground. "I understand your feelings towards this, but rest assured my brother has changed for the better. I not only want to give him, but his family a chance to reenter our home and exist within our family."

As everyone readied to object again, the doors to the meeting hall slowly creaked open as slow footsteps walked through. In came an older, rugged man with a black eye patch obscuring one of his eyes. There was a large scar running down the side of his face where the missing eye would be. His skin was dark brown with a head full of silver hair.

The man was Raiden Amarai, Hirosora's younger brother.

While the other families looked at him with disgust and burning contempt, Hirosora and Uche greeted him with welcoming bows.

"Welcome home, brother." Hirosora smiled at him. "How was your trip? Not too bad, I hope."

Raiden gave his older brother a soft smile. "No, not at all. I much prefer to be giving my niece her congratulations, but beggars cannot be choosers."

He then turned his attention to the rest of his family-- more specifically Raiha. He could feel their hatred, their fury. These same people who witnessed him being sentenced to exile by their parents were now all at this table.

What a beautifully flat circle time was. It almost made him chuckle.

"I see all our...family is here. What a very pleasant surprise." Raiden smiled at them. Even though it didn't change their expressions, it did make him smile a bit. "Hopefully you all be at the wedding, yes? I wouldn't want them to miss out on Oya becoming a bride because I'll be there."

"Of course we will." Raiha trembled with rage as he glared daggers as the newly returned Raiden. Thunder rumbled as his hair blackened with rage. His blood boiled and burned with how careless both Amarai brothers were being-- Raiden especially. It was like he wasn't even ashamed of what he'd done.

Raiden, on the other hand, could care less about Raiha's-- or anyone else's for that matters-- feelings about him. He was back for good and no amount of protesting and hate was going to make him leave again anytime soon.

As he looked over the room, he noticed a certain someone wasn't there.

"Where's the mad dog, Byakuya?" Raiden pulled out his phone to text his wife.

"Byakuya is-"

"RIGHT HERE, MOTHERFUCKER!" Byakuya Yukigumo, patriarch of the Yukigumo family, burst through the doors followed by his pleading wife Pauletta.

As he marched up to punch Raiden, Byakuya was held back by Hirosora and Pauletta. Raiden simply shook his head and dryly chuckled.

"YOU THINK YOU CAN COME BACK HERE UNSCATHED?!" Byakuya barked.

"If I remember correctly, it was you who started the fight when you punched me in my face." Raiden looked down at his phone. "But then again, your father needed his golden boy."

"DON'T YOU FUCKING TALK ABOUT MY FATHER!" Byakuya tried to break off to attack him, but Pauletta pulled him away to talk him down.

Raiden yawned and stood up. Whether it was the jetlag or Byakuya's aggressive energy that killed his previously joyful attitude.

"I'm so sorry, brother. This meeting is rather boring and I would hate to cause you anymore trouble. Please let Oya know that I'll be present at her wedding. I'm sure she'll be pleased to see her uncle again."

Hirosora simply nodded and dismissed his brother. Honestly, he would've left with him because he really didn't want to deal with the wrath of his family. And with Byakuya here, things were going to get worse.

"Are you coming?"

Hirosora turned to see Raiden peeking his head in the door. "What?"

"Come, brother. We both know you don't want to stay here and face their wrath. Besides, there's much we need to catch up on. You can even bring Uche." Raiden whispered.

Hirosora was suddenly transported back to their younger days; when he would be stuck watching his other siblings train with their father and Raiden wanted to be with his big brother. A nostalgic feeling Hirosora sometimes longed for ever since Raiden was exiled.

Taking Uche's hand, Hirosora slipped through the doors and followed his brother. "I must thank you later, brother. I think I would've snapped if I had to deal with them berating me for allowing you to come home."

"No need to, brother. They don't know what real loyalty is." Raiden smiled. He was surprisingly cheerful today. Maybe it was because he was finally home, maybe because it was the delirium. Either way, it felt good to be around people who actually appreciated him.

"Now, about my niece and her wedding."

Standby for Stranger In Paradise spam

So there's this post going around about how Hideaki Anno wanted to use an excerpt from Borodin's Polovtsian Dances as the OP for NGE. Of course, my first thought is "100% he wanted to use the Gliding Dance of the Maidens section, most famously as adapted by Forrest and Wright into the song Stranger In Paradise for the musical Kismet." (Although I guess the 3/4 General Dance section could also be appropriate? Based on some the clear classical music expys used for other science fiction anime from that time or older.) Anyways, I originally planned on reblogging that thread and posting an example video of Stranger In Paradise, but then it became too hard to pick just one. And besides, it's been too long since I did a spam. But I will say, it is kind of ironic that when Cruel Angel's Thesis was done for the OP, that Anno didn't use Stranger in Paradise for the ED instead. Like, amazingly there's not a Sinatra version, given that they did eventually go with Fly Me To the Moon, but just about every single other crooner covered it. For double the irony, in 2001 a mecha anime did end up using Gliding Dance of the Maidens as a major music motif: RahXephon! VgmDB also gives me several more credits, too, so this is a piece all over the otaku-sphere. Hell, half of the time it's even just acknowledged as its original classical music form (Aozora Yell, Nodame Cantabile, Hibike Euphonium, etc.). (Although, come on, Japan, use some of Borodin's other stuff, too! String Quartet No. 2 is also a fount of banger melodies!)
