bonus adachi scene in the bd/dvd version of the golden anime

in the tv broadcast (and also the version from crunchyroll), it goes from yu looking at his window tv to the cake. on the bd/dvd version of ep 12, there's an added scene in-between where nanako gives yu the letter, adachi is in gay baby jail, and you hear him voicing the letter from rank 10 of his social link.

there's ~6mins overall of new stuff added to episode 12. ~30 sec is the adachi rank 10 part, ~2.5min is the ending that shows everyone + marie hanging out in inaba. idk what the other 3 minutes are lol.

edit: oh, wait, i found the other new scenes:

izanami explaining how she was split into two

namatame campaigning in inaba

yu walking around the central shopping district before going to junes

yu lamenting that marie isn't around anymore before they turn on the weather report

yosuke then explains that marie came back pretttttttty quickly and said something about being able to live as a human

rise complaining about marie and her stage name

Everyone's familiar (and sick) of the Buddy Daddies being compared to Spy x Family thing. But I was thinking and realized something funny--

In SxF Yor and Loid try hard to look happy & married for the facade and their fake family. In BD Kazuki and Rei never really try that ? they're already written to act and look like "an old married couple" (director's words)

And yet the side characters (like Anna, Shigeki, the moms) think (know) they're more than friends who have a daughter together.

I think that's also one of the reasons why I like Kurusu family dynamic more. Because it feels more real and is never an act and they never try to make their family seem "properly real" in the way the Forger's try to seem perfect. I mean at the start they're like "ok we gotta play pretend family!" but post ep 3 it was all natural lol

After Rei accepts himself as Miri's father and after their talk with Misaki, they're already committed to Miri, and I remember watching SXF and just thinking WHEN are things gonna move forward?? The slowburn is burning too slow I'M IMPATIENT when is loid gonna accept anya as his daughter--

Sure, Yor and Loid are strangers, compared to Kazuki and Rei who have lived together for 3+ years.. and share a bank account... But it feels like they're still stuck at that "strangers" bit for the whole first season. I'd call them acquaintances even lol. But I get it, SxF is slower and has more of a slowburn, VS Buddy Daddies that had 12 episodes + 4 cd dramas. But even then, BD was easier for me to get attached to. (But also. I'd absolutely KILL to have BD have 2+ seasons like uhhhh yes give me all the "unnecessary" fillers and random stuff, I want to see it all, anything, I'll take it. ANYTHING. PLEASEEEE)

Also I'd call SXF a pretty vanilla anime, it's meant for all ages, it has a lot of genres that appeal to a wide range of audience (like romance, comedy, action, fictional fantasy (mind reading, loid's costumes...)), it has a fun concept, nice characters... It doesn't have blood, death, the idea that the main characters could die, no lives are at stake, it doesn't have the same approach to childcaring like BD has (the whole daycare episode, oof), it doesn't have same sex parents.

Buddy Daddies Bluray Vol 2!

Im finally back home from Japan and can now share with you guys the Buddy Daddies bluray!

Quickly before I start:

If you’re outside of Japan and would like these, I have a post here detailing how to get them!

I bought this copy from Yobodashi, NOT animate, so unfortunately no bonus pic this time!

Let’s begin!

First, all the buddy daddies media currently available (not including the OP album cus that’s not BD branded)

The case! It went pink this time which, if we hadn’t seen “Daughter Daddies” I’d have found it somewhat weird. Idk if this is about to become a rainbow or what though. My guess would be vol 3 is blue.

Inside content! The red booklet features settings from the two episodes included (Vol 1 did this too) this vol however, also came with AAALLL the character designs - every character. Even the “mafia boss” as he’s titled from the first ep.

And finally the DVD case! The classic two page spread illustration for the back is adorable! I’m only sad that Rei was the one left out this time. Similar to vol 1 though, miri was the left out one there so my guess is kazuki will be vol 3.

Vol 3 design was already released actually so I’m fairly accurate!

The two discs are for the episodes and the Drama CD…

I’m tempted to provide a transcript and translate it… HOWEVER I admit that I struggle with listening to Japanese a bit. I rely on Japanese subtitles often and… well… audios don’t have that. So if I did do it, it may have errors.

I’ll think more on it…

Until next time!

“That gloomy sea, and that Sinister lighthouse. Insidious mountains and looming cityscape. every inch of this place gets under my skin. Wait, that's it. This town is driving me insane, winding me up. It's making me spiral. Everywhere I look, spirals are taking over.” -          Shuichi Saito, Uzumaki (Ep. 01)

This Toonami Trending Rundown is for the month of September 2024. After first being announced in 2019, and going through four years of delays, this month that would culminate in the world premiere of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki.

For the night of September 7, #Toonami would trend in the U.S. alongside Demon Slayer. #Toonami would also trend on Tumblr alongside One Piece and My Hero Academia. On September 14, #Toonami trended in the United States and on Tumblr, with One Piece also trending on Tumblr. For the night of September 21, Toonami trended in the US on Twitter and on Tumblr, while Demon Slayer also trended in the USA. Finally, September 28th would see the premiere of Uzumaki, and as result of the buzz, both Uzumaki and Rick and Morty: The Anime would trend in the USA on Twitter, while Uzumaki also trended on Tumblr.

Meanwhile for Toonami Rewind, #ToonamiRewind would trend on both September 13 and 27. Sailor Moon would also trend on the 13th. Full trending statistics can be seen below.

The feature for September 14 was a new Toonami ID titled “Doppelganger.” You can check it out below.

On September 28, Toonami released a new Criminal Threats/Building You a Better Cartoon Show promo. You can check it out below.

The production for Uzumaki has not been easy and has since seen significant delays from its original release date since the show’s announcement at Crunchyroll Expo 2019. First from 2020, then to October 2022 thanks to the pandemic, until Toonami just stopped giving out an ETA release date altogether. During SDCC 2023, Toonami creator and Uzumaki producer Jason DeMarco noted that the reason for these delays, among other things, is “Because it turns out it’s very, very hard to replicate Junji Ito’s lines faithfully, but that hasn’t stopped us from continuing to work on it.” It wasn’t until 2024 that we finally got the news that the show was ready to go.

While Uzumaki’s first episode aired without a hitch, episodes 2, 3, and 4 on the other hand, saw some recognizable hitches in regards to the animation quality. According to show producer Jason DeMarco in a now deleted Bluesky post, he mentioned that they were “screwed over” during the show’s production, which ultimately played a major role in the show’s delays and animation quality dip. Unfortunately, the choices given to the Uzumaki production team in the end were to either cancel the production and call it a total loss (and presumably see the production written off in a similar fashion to Coyote vs Acme), only release Episode 1 and leave the series incomplete, or to release the series despite its flaws. The latter of the three was ultimately the decision chosen.

Jason couldn't point fingers to who was responsible for Uzumaki's production issues, though it surely wasn’t helped that this miniseries was produced during the ongoing upheaval with Warner Bros Discovery, with CEO David Zaslav infamously going on a cost cutting and tax write off spree to make up for WBD’s post-merger debts. And given that this series was announced at the now-defunct Crunchyroll Expo, its likely this series would have been available to stream on Crunchyroll as well, had Sony not burn bridges with WBD.

Oftentimes, if a show has such animation quality issues due to a rushed schedule, it tends to be smoothed out for the Blu-ray release and reruns. However, it is unknown if and when Production I.G and Cartoon Network plans on fixing these mistakes for a BD release, much less if we will have a Blu-ray release at all. Regardless of what happened and what happens going forward, Toonami, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, and Warner Bros Discovery as a whole will no doubt need to get their acts together on this front, especially if Lazarus, Rooster Fighter, and other future Toonami originals are to be the smash hits fans are hoping will be.

Unfortunately, Uzumaki’s case is not unique in the anime world. From Attack on Titan, to Dragon Ball Super, to One Punch Man, to Zom 100, to anything made by Studio MAPPA, no small amount of anime titles in the modern era have seen frequent delays and are occasionally rushed out the door with animation flaws. A big reason for that is a shortage in manpower. From the high demand for anime productions from domestic and international licensors alike, to the low pay and grueling work conditions of its animators, production cast and crews, and manga artists (not to mention Japan’s declining birth and immigration rates), the anime industry has backed themselves into a corner with less and less people being able to get into the industry as a viable career path. It’s a big reason many anime series don’t go beyond 12-14 episodes a season nowadays. And it certainly played a role in the Great Anime Crash of 2008 and is playing a role in the current anime dark age we’re seeing today.  For more on that, check out my Op-Ed “The 2020’s Anime and Streaming Service Bubble Burst.”

As previously mentioned, due to personal reasons, I’m unfortunately running a bit late on posting Trending Rundowns, so expect the editions for the rest of 2024 to be posted in the coming weeks. Apologies for the inconvenience. Until next time, stay gold as always.

Legend: The shows listed are ordered based on their appearance on the schedule. Show trends are listed in bold. The number next to the listed trend represents the highest it trended on the list (not counting the promoted trend), judging only by the images placed in the rundown. For the Twitter tweet counts, the listed number of tweets are also sorely based on the highest number shown based on the images on the rundown.

Stories about Frederick's outfits in CPC

Frederick, the youngest Plaid Prince with the green color motif. The one that had outfits mostly in green color as well, with the exception is his academy era where he wear blue uniform with white tie. This post gonna entertwined some CPC story points regarding Frederick's outfits. For the starter of the everything, let's talk about his trademark Green Plaid Jacket (I have a theory about how the color of his jacket becomes murkier the more he knows about the engagement)

First we have standard male undergament outfit in the CPC universe, a pair of grey trousers and a pair of black boots in monochromatic style. His color is green, and motif of Plaid as part of Plaid Kingdom. His jacket like his brothers as have a pair of golden shoulder pads and a golden trim going down the collarbone part, with a three straps of golden cover with huge black buttons. The inner white shirts of the Plaid Princes modeled to each ones' character (Lance's carefree, Blaine's fancy)- which for Frederick he buttons up to his neck, making him distinct from his brothers, who leave their collars open. There's only some occasions where his collar opened, and all of those events is related to Gwendolyn in someway (discussed in later part of this post). The inner white shirt of him is a simple one with 3 white buttons, that the top is open

^ Second, we'll go from this comment from the webtoon - exactly from episode 146 when talking about how Frederick and Whitney now are like blank canvas and not related to their respected kingdoms. Here the most interesting part imho but also the longest, I do rereading and - voila?

I do rereading and realizes that all of intimate moments of gwenderick had him not wearing Plaid jacket 'properly'.. The comment from Sage person is very pretty close, most are having his jacket displace in some way - some where he opening it like to taking out his lucky charm the newt eyeball - while some didn't have him to wearing the trademark plaid jacket at all like wearing Jamie's change outfit, gala outfit etc

Here the list of episodes where Frederick not really looking like a Plaid Prince, or wondering if Plaid way truly for him!

2nd middle part and the center of the post

after math of amusement park (wears Jamie outfit) ep29

ep33-34 not only time when Fred realizes how kind Gwen is BUT also his beliefs like "innocence, kindness won't matter in this world-cuz I bullied due that". Where Frederick backstory been told, and @alexandersimpleton mentioned before that's interesting for little Frederick wears pastel

balcony serenade (ripping his own sleeve to treats Gwen) ep39

wear green suit that not Plaid at Lance's BD party -ep49

Although just in dream, bonus short ep 4 & (s3) short 4 + his pajama although in plaid motif but open around heart

Frederick realizes what he wants (he likes Gwen) , put his jacket like a robe or as the outer (ep70) - double as him meets his inner child. Another example of him opened up. Frederick's inner child outfits also coincidetally not him as a Plaid prince but with the uniform (the start of his innocence tainted) and little prince (which he thinks the most fits to him, his gala outfit that becomes blatant foreshadowing) - and I somehow have a feeling, that we're see Frederick's inner child again somehow it's happening

ep74 the portrait duel, his upper top not properly put as the usual - he duels with Leopold that showing his conviction

ep82 very important ep as we had monologue that Frederick realizes Plaid way isn't fits to him - he still wearing his Plaid jacket compltely but had flashbacks where he shown to not wear properly, or in the real time having the jacket in messy state + funny pose lol

ep89 he offers his waterproof jacket to Gwen, makes him with white shirt - also hints of his self-sacrifice tedency "I'll go instead"

slightly opened up when he had talk with Syrah (ep90)

ep92 the confession Downpour (part 2), Frederick opening up his jacket to takes out the gala ticket for Gwendolyn

ep100 Frederick opening up his upper jacket to take out the newt eyeball that becomes his lucky charm

ep106 Frederick confessing to Gwendolyn that he thinks she's beautiful with the upper part of his jacket opened

Frederick might not know but Gwen imagines herself with him without his trademark plaid jacket like this; ep112

the gala arc since ep 120 with him as the tiniest prince, and with that along with his brothers - become foreshadowing

since season 4 part 2, we have Fred without his jacket completely which symbolizes him as the 'blank canvas'

The last part, gonna be entertwined with another theory 0.0

Frederick = the tiniest prince = little prince

Let's see that webtoon comment image back, one conclusion that I find very interesting that will related to Little Prince :

"In order to create closer and healhtly relationship with Princess Gwendolyn - Frederick needs to distance himself to being a Plaid Prince, and as long as he still keep the idealism (along with toxicities) of the Plaid kingdom he can't reaches Gwen. Gwen needs to see for who he actually is, and Frederick should become who he actually is - the true him"

This, goes hard with the epilogue part of the Little Prince.. Because the story ends with Little Prince looks like he's dying as he get bitten by the snake (and in the CPC, this refers to the Giant Serpent - that keep recurring in Frederick's dreams) so he could returns to his home where his lover the rose there

this means, in order for Frederick could 'return to his lover' = 'reaches Gwen' - he needs to be bitten by the Giant Serpent

The bite (be it literal or metaphorical), will make the little prince looks like he is dying - with several interpretations of little prince even thinks that scene as the prince attempting suicide. The CPC never show explicit suicide attempts BUT implicit scenes happened, with the recent example from Frederick himself that dares 'hissing' Blaine to kill him (ep158). I feel the incoming foreshadowings of some ugly dark scenes in the future that will happen, as Frederick doing something similar to what he dares to Blaine but now to the real Giant Serpent - but it seems won't ends well.

[ Here my further analysis about TGS, which likely Leland ]

So.. Frederick will and need to 'die' like the little prince then?

Me and @meritre24601 hoping for different take as seen the death not be literally as passed on from the real world but metaphorically. That's already happened canonically during the CPC intruder arc as the one that die isn't Renée but the bad parts of the CPC - with Nell's explanation...

This mean the metaphorically death. Frederick as the Plaid Prince is the one that die as bitten by TGS - but right after that he rebirth as simply "Frederick". Rebirth and transformation are good symbolism of snake/serpent that @saemi-the-dreamer wrote. As he indeed 'die' but got rebirth for new transformation of his life, where he's showing the true him that shown cleverly by LambCat in throughout series from his outfit, he could finally reaches Gwen - the happy ending of their reunion that we are hopes ;-;

Hey! I hope your week is going great :)

Like everyone else, i wanted to send you a heartfelt thank you for your immense efforts and time that you take out of your day to translate and type set these interviews and videos.

It always brightens my day when i get a notification from you and i know I’m in for a treat so it’s really truly appreciated from our end 🙏🏼

I was also wondering that when the asticassia school assembly BD comes out, if you could consider uploading it somewhere so that people who can’t purchase it would be able to watch it as well? I was really looking forward to seeing the VAs performance on stage and also some of the comedic moments like Suletta rapping but unfortunately, money is a bit tight for me right now. 😞

If you could consider it that would be awesome but if you rather not do jt, that’s totally fine as well :)

I also wanted to ask for your advice regarding learning japanese. I took some classes in college but haven’t kept up with it. Do you know any resources that you felt were really helpful to you when you were learning the language? I really want to dedicate myself to it this time! I’d really appreciate any tips, thank you! :)

Hey hey~ I actually got some fantastic news at work, so my week's off to a great start. :3

And you're very welcome! Thank you for enjoying and supporting my TLs.

I pre-ordered the School Assembly BD and am planning to subtitle it in parts, similarly to how I'm doing the Ep 24 Character Commentary… but for an upload of the full thing, I have to be more circumspect: I'll post when the rip is available and give contact info so interested folks can reach out directly. Just trying to avoid getting Eye of Sauron'd by Bandai-Namco, lol.

Regarding Japanese study: we're in similar boats! I also took classes in college and got back into serious self-study after not practicing for a while.

Here are some self-study resources I find useful:

For daily Japanese practice…

Renshuu for vocabulary and grammar. WaniKani for learning kanji. Ringotan for kana and kanji writing practice.

Renshuu is a site (also available in convenient app form) for building up vocabulary and grammar with quizzes, games, and community activities. It's by-and-large free - premium provides some enhancements (like more listening/pitch tools), but isn't necessary for most of the content. WaniKani is a fantastic resource for learning kanji. They use some truly memorable mnemonics to teach radicals/vocabulary and schedule lessons/reviews in a way that promotes real retention. Give Levels 1-3 a try since they're free, and if you like the teaching method, a lifetime premium sub is reasonably affordable when it goes on sale (like on Black Friday). I use Ringotan, a free phone app, to supplement WaniKani (which is focused on reading/recognition) with writing practice.

Other resources/tools...

Install Yomitan, an in-line dictionary extension, on your browser.

Dokusho Bookclub is a site for finding reading materials targeting specific JLPT levels.

Out of the many resources available on YouTube, I want to highlight Kaname Naito's channel - he teaches in depth vocabulary and grammar used in actual conversational Japanese.

I have a routine of always doing my "dailies" and just try to read/watch/play as much Japanese media as possible... Thankfully there's so much good stuff available online nowadays. :>

Hope you find something useful for you in this list. Good luck with your studies!

Random thoughts about how BD and KO's dynamic could've played out if budget cuts didn't send the big guy to the grave, and he became an autobot, be like: I imagine this happening in ep "Plus one"

KO: Alright, how long have you two been dating, because you argue like an old married couple

BD: (honking after him) Knock Out!

KO: Ugh, and speaking of bitter exes.

BD: Pull over KO, this is going to far

KO: Ha! Make me you slow brute (accelerates)

BD: Low blow (uses the terrain as a ramp) good thing I know how to take the high road! (KO, has to break in order to not get squash by BD)

KO: Hey! WATCH IT! Don't think you can get away with ruining my finish now that you're an autobot.

BD: End of the line Knock Out, hand over the humans and forget about the fossil

KO: Breakdown, don't tell me you now have a soft spot for them too. I'll make you a deal, big guy (transforms and holds the humans tight, turning his other sand into a saw) fetch me the fossil and I let the humans walk.

BD: ... Why you doing this KO?

Knock Out: Because, this is what WE decepticons do, now, play nice or else-

BD: Don't give me that scrap! You don't believe in the decepticon cause, you never did! So why do you keep playing lapdog

KO: How DARE you!

BD: Answer me, Knock Out!

KO: I did it for you! I left Velocitron for you! I joined the Deceptions for you! YOU were my cause! And yet you left us! Left me! For a bunch of fleshies and their leader.

BD: ... Knock...

KO: Tell me Breakdown, when did I stop being enough of a reason for you? (yeets the humans to distract BD, and transforms to go after the train)

I have my own little Breakdown Lives and Becomes an Autobot AU wip I want to work on when I finish up some other projects I have going on. Its a bit more sad, somber than this (maybe I'll post some snippets at some point....)

But reading this, I kind of love them as bitter exes that are still not quite over each other!!! Makes me want to write a little something of them splitting off before the events of Prime and being forced to face off. I want the snarky digs and borderline banter. I want them not really putting their all into a fight and when they see the other in danger, momentarily forgetting their faction ties to save the other. I want a scene where they are forced to work together and realize how much they miss each other and how well they just ARE together. I want another bot there (my brain supplied smokescreen but anyone would work) watching them in awe. I want them pleading the other to come back to them and join their side, both of them too scared to leave not knowing if they would be able to get back what they had.BFWRNFCFKNVWKENDSFEKJVNF OK ADDING THIS TO MY RUNNING WIP DOCS THANK YOU. The wip list is getting ridiculously long.
