#chiral night

Video courtesy of my wife!! I wanted to post on here cause it’s so cute… translations are included below!

But I don’t know a lick of Japanese, so keep in mind I yoinked these off of Google Translate. Definitely not completely accurate, but still nice to have an idea of what they're saying.

Zenya: "Hey, can I touch your tail?"

Asato: "...Ah."

Zenya: "Wow! It's so fluffy!"

Clear: "Really? Can I touch it too?"

Asato: "I don't mind."

Clear: "Well then... excuse me."

Clear: "Wow, it's so fluffy!"

Asato: "Is that really something to be happy about?"

Clear: "Yes!"

I love this interaction so much 😭 it reminds me a lot of the scene in Re:connect where Clear is fluffing up Ren... he even says "Yes!" the same way too. It's a little different though because this time he's harassing a whole grown ass man 😭

THE CHiRAL NIGHT -Dive into DMMd- Live at Tokyo Dome City Hall 2013

In honor of the 10th anniversary of this event, I decided to embark on a personal project to archive it & share it with fellow fans. This year also marks my own 10th anniversary — I first played a fan translation of DMMd in 2013 & found myself immediately connected with its music. This truly was a labor of love to undertake, but I’m happy that I can celebrate this milestone with you all.

Package details & links are under the cut, or you can click here for a static page. For instructions & disclaimers, check out the documentation file.

I am not sure how long I will be able to host these files online without drawing too much attention. In the event that any of these files are forcefully removed or links are no longer active, contact me by email & I’ll see what I can do.

Whether you’re a longtime DMMd fan, picking it up for the first time this year, or just a big fan of GOATBED — I hope that this brings you some joy, too.

Spring 2024 anime review!

It's time for my annual anime season review! I had a lot more shows to watch this season than last, which at times got a bit hectic! It's not quite done yet but it's done enough that I think I can put this up. Warning: Long post incoming where I ramble about the many anime shows I watched and personal reflection about how Going Through It™ affected my watching.

Laid Back Camp Season 3: My fav of the season, I'm obsessed with these camping girlies and any more time with them is always a treat. The combo of the suspension bridge arc with the wacky over the top arc is a fun jarring one, and the last trip was so sweet. Rin and Nadeshiko felt even gayer this season which is impressive, they're the most girlfriends to me, Chiaki and Aoi too (or maybe I should just ship full camping polycule???) It was only a few second scenes too but I love that they added Aya into the later arcs as well. I've been in a rough place mentally for a while and it kicked into a new gear this summer, so the comfort vibes of the show hit differently. I'm a super anxious person so chill times where everything is OK is such a nice escape from the world. Shout out to the OP/ED for being my favs this season! Also highly recommend both sub and dub, because the dub cast is SOOOO good once more. Celeste Perez is so fantastic as Rin, and Morgan Laure Garrett does an incredible performance as Nadeshiko. The whole cast is so great I could ramble on and on about them.

Whisper Me a Love Song: Not technically done yet as eps 11 and 12 are delayed, but in spite of the production woes this one has my heart this season in that "I love the manga and am happy to see this animated, I am hyperfixated, and warts and all I love watching it and get way way WAYYYY too sensitive about it seriously chiral go touch grass instead of having anxiety attacks about an anime" kind of way. The voice cast is SO perfect and everyone fits their characters so well and it's a treat to see the manga adapted. Himari and Yori's fluffy relationship was so sweet and I teared up a lot at their big moments. My beloved Aki got so many delicious angsty scenes while also showing her as not a bad person, just someone who's caught up in a crush while heartbroken about her true love leaving her (a true love that she didn't even realize was true love). Speaking about that true love, Shiho getting to be a feral cat storming into the proceedings is a treat, and I love that we get to see her earlier in the anime than in the manga.

The downsides ofc are the production that delayed two of the episodes, and now has the last two pushed to a later date, and my big qualm is the festival getting skipped over (well still kinda animated in the visual comic they released with the voice actors doing great on it), that's a bummer. I can see structurally what they were going for, 6 eps for Himari/Yori and 6 eps for the very popular Aki/Shiho storyline, and having the 'lost' ep voice acted helps a bit. But ughghggh even with all that...IDK it's still my babg and they're my babygorls so I'm rooting for 11 and 12 to be really great and for me to not engage with any fandom discussion about it LOL. Like I said this one had my heart this season, and when something latches onto your heart like that, I think it's good to cherish that a bit.

Jellyfish Can't Swim in the Night: I heard the buzz a few episodes in about this and was hooked pretty quickly. The animation quality was great, I adored the characters, and I loved the queerness in it with the nonbinary talks, trans yakuza ladie, the kiss, and while I wish they went more in on the romance, we still got a lot of queerness that I don't want to count out. It's another case where I really need to disengage with what people think about something when it's special to me (that might be the moral of the season, honestly). My big downside for this is it got a little too stressful for me, the big fight towards the end of the show kept me up at night. I might be going through it pretty bad if watching anime does that to me BUT we stay silly.

Train to the End of the World: I didn't realize until I saw a post about it like yesterday that this had the same director as Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann and in hindsight yeah that tracks. This was such a wild ride, I love a good journey story and this scratched that itch well. A group of girls go on a weird, hilarious, and heartfelt journey via train through a bizarre world? It made me really want to write a journey story. Funniest show of the season by far, crazy visuals, fun action, each episode being a strange little journey on its own helped the vibe.

The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio: This was a really cute one, bubbly gyaru x stoic girlie is a fun dynamic. Going by the structure, I assume this was the first 3 light novels adapted, since each arc was 4 eps IIRC. I hope the light novels get translated here because I'd love to see where the story goes next. My downside to this is this one also got STRESSFUL stressful in that like social kind of way as the main duo deals with stalkers, assholes online, shitty voice directors (I hope that voice director that was giving Yasumi a hard time gets super fired in season 2) and that took away from the fluff at times. Still was a definite highlight of the season.

Nijiyon Animation 2: Maybe even weirder than the first season, I was really glad to get more of this one, weekly 3 minute adventures of a wacky gay harem really is good for the soul. I love the vibe of like "yeah we're doing this premise this week let's just go with it" that a lot of the episodes had. Do Season 3 cmon!

Vexations of a Shut in Vampire Princess dub: I am a big stan for Vexations, and this dub has not disappointed so far (I think just one or two episodes to go for it), VERY well cast with Brittney Karbowski (of Railgun fame) putting in a STELLAR performance as Komari, showcasing all the facets of Komari's personality, like her spoiled bratty princess side, her anxious about being plopped into a dire situation side, the theater kid performance that helps her through this, and many other sides, it's really fantastic work by her. Vill, Sakuna, and Millicent are standouts as well (every Millicent scene I needed to pause afterwards because wow 🥵).

I also watched the back half of Dungeon Meshi (which is so big rn that I feel like I don't know what to add? It's great!), the new Spice and Wolf which was nice, Bartender: Glass of God which was VERY chill, and a coworker friend rec'd Condition Called Love, but I did not really enjoy that one.

All in all despite the bumpy road, I was really happy with this season and got SO much yuri. I do still need to watch Girls Band Cry and will rectify that soon, I just had way too many shows to watch at once.

Next season I am mainly looking forward to My Deer Friend Nokotan, and started watching Suicide Squad Isekai mainly for the ED lol. Next season big goal also: Chiral touches grass and her hypersensitive ass stops getting so worried about what other people think of the anime she watches and to just enjoy the anime hyperfixation while it's in full swing like this.

sweet pool characters as they appear in sweet pool vs. how they appear outside of their world (chiral night rhythm carnival)

small explanation, nothing revolutionary:

today i extracted chiral night rhythm carnival's cg file for fun and noticed something cool or at least something thats cool to me

i was scrolling through the sprites when i saw koujaku's and noticed he looked really pale and desaturated. i clicked on it so i could see it better and realized, oh this must be when he was in sweet pool and then double realized that this meant that sweet pool's world had a filter over it!!!! not like an actual filter in game but this was what its world was like

and so i go back to the sprites to fully compare sweet pool's rhythm carnival sprites to their original ones and yea its definitely a result of their worlds merging which is so fun

this also implies that when they went to the other worlds they were hit with the most painful eyestrain of their entire lives since their world is constantly gloomy lmao

THE CHiRAL NIGHT -meets sweet pool- Live at Akasaka BLITZ [2009.03.14]

Today marks the 15th (!) anniversary of this event, so I figure it's the perfect day to post it. Though sweet pool is in the title, there's a lot of fun Togainu no Chi & Lamento content in this one. I'm a big fan of the live reading segments with some of the voice actors! THE CHiRAL NIGHT events are always so enjoyable for me to watch, so I hope you like it too.
