Posting about Shirabe Meshi bonus pages from the currently released volumes since there's no new chapter this month (it'll be back next month along with volume 4's release)

I'll do separate posts for each volume, this post being for volume 1's

So first off, there's the one on the cover under the sleeve

It starts near the end of G, when Nastassja used the moon's systems to fix its orbit

And then she died...or did she? (Of course not, this is the official Everyone Lived AU)

[Heartbeat confirmed]

[Fully committing wheelchair's remaining output to life support. Commencing preservation mode.]

Later, during the space shuttle rescue:

Afterward, she tells them that she was saved because there was "clean air" (referencing a line of Maria's in XV that gets memed a lot by the Japanese fandom)

The pages after each chapter:

Chapter 1's has Millaarc changing to her Tiny Bat form in order to fill herself with less food and she gets smacked by the owner of Flower who thinks she's a large bug

Chapter 2, Kirika is really hungry but Shirabe doesn't have time to caramelize onions like she did for the curry this chapter, so she puts chopped onions on a paper towel lined plate and wraps it, microwaves them for 3 minutes, then puts them in the pan for 10 ("if you're having too much trouble, pre-made packets of curry are fine")

Chapter 3 has Hibiki and Miku in the bath. Hibiki is happily talking about cold baths in the summer heat and poor Miku is freezing. It's labeled as "the night she took things too far" (in chapter 3, Hibiki blamed herself for Miku getting sick saying she "took things too far the other night")

Chapter 4 has art of Chris labeled "Hot blooded teacher version for when grades are poor"

Chapter 5...okay my previous post for chapter 5 didn't go into detail because that was when my wisdom teeth hurt so bad I had to get them removed so just know Tsubasa got Shirabe's help to cook yakisoba on Fudou's television program.

It says that after that, the show got renewed as a series where Fudou acts as assistant to a young girl, but instead of actually helping cook, he just causes problem after problem. It became a big hit in living rooms everywhere. Little by little, he eventually gets better at doing things like cracking eggs and the viewers have started to warm up to him

(note that his original show comes back in a later chapter and then gets bought and canceled by Adam who then starts his own show)

Chapter 6 is a picture of Serena in her school uniform (with the Nephilim) that says "looking forward to school"

The bonus manga at the end:

Shirabe is staring at Kirika, as she does, and her "passionate gaze" is "making (Kirika's) heart throb" 😂

But then...

"Kiri-chan's head...reminds me of something..."

"But the way Shirabe's staring at me reminds me of something..."

"A SHOEBILL"

Anime Update V2 63

Vinland Saga S2 - Everything that happened to Thorfinn back in the first season finally gets addressed and brought up to Einar, who is understanding but direct with his friend and gives him some words of advice. Thorfinn's newfound humility and steady growth as a person is really reflected here. But then when Einar and Thorfinn find their wheat field has been completely razed, rendering all that hard, long work they put in meaningless, Einar flies into a fury and is quick to assume the farmhands who look down upon them were the culprits. When happening to run into the farmhands that night, Einar's rage forces Thorfinn's hand and he finds himself right back in the realm of violence and bloodshed he'd wanted to leave behind. At the end, his nightmare seems to be coming true: he's falling into Hell once more.

Hunter x Hunter - Gon fights Knuckles while Killua fights Shoot. At this point this plotline has wore out its welcome for me and I just want to move on already. Which we thankfully might be able to do soon since back at the hive, the King is about to hatch prematurely!

Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works - Got some Caster focus at this time as she recalls how she'd initially been summoned for the Holy Grail War by a different mage who ran his own lab that extracted mana and thought he could treat her like garbage even though her magic control exceeded his own. She immolated him to death but got injured by a hit on her from Assassin that Kirei had arranged. She was saved by Kuzuki, who became her new Master. In the present day, Illya's manor is breached by Shinji and Gilgamesh, who uses his Noble Phantasm to kill Illya's homunculus maids. An enraged Illya calls upon Berserker to crush the intruders! It is ON!

Re:ZERO - Very scary and distressing shit in this season's eleventh episode! Beako reveals for just how long she'd been awaiting Subaru to arrive in this world and that she wants him to kill her so that she doesn't have to keep living a slave to her Tome with her spirit tethered to the library. Elsa attacks once again and we meet her co-conspirator, a child from the village named Meili who's a Mabeast controller and wants to kill Subaru and all her fellow villagers (which suggests she was behind the events of Arc 2). Beako gets killed by Elsa and dies in Subaru's arms, using Frederika's crystal to send him back to the Sanctuary, where he finds Emilia has gone mad from the trial's failure and is half possessed by Satella. Roswaal shows just how evil he really is by skewering Garfiel and Ram, and revealing himself to be in possession of the second Tome and that he has been aware of Subaru's Return By Death looping this entire time. And then the goddamn Great Rabbit attacks, kills Roswaal, and nearly kills Subaru again. Subaru dies from all his wounds in the arms of the envious witch, awaiting when it's his time to start over again. Damn.

Symphogear AXZ - I really didn't want to ever have this experience with this anime, but this one pushed it for me; I had to stop watching an episode and not finish it. And I was liking what I was getting up to that point - more cool moments from best girls Kirika and Shirabe, more HibiMiku tenderness, getting to meet the cold and cruel Fudou Kazanari in person, even a posthumous guest appearance by Dr. Ver, which at first I wasn't sure I was going to like but the man is so damn bombastic that he won me over in seconds. But the entire subplot of Maria and Elfnein delving deep into Maria's mind and memories culminated in something that's not just reminiscent of how badly GX botched the arc with Hibiki's father, but reminiscent of that fucking episode of Your Lie In April. Yeah, it pulled the exact same "whitewashing of child abuse" bullshit, insultingly having Maria realize that the physical abuse, experiments, and emotional torment Dr. Nastassja put her and other children through to shape them into child soldiers for a terrorist group wasn't really bad not only because "Mom" felt bad about doing it, but because raising her in a harsh environment made her stronger, ensured she was toughened up and fully ripened and not soft and are you fucking with me right now, Symphogear? Just like with Hibiki's dad, there was a conclusion the character should've been drawing here, one that would've much more interesting and appropriately nuanced and fair to Nastassja's character while still condemning her actions, yet the character is written like a dumbass who takes away the absolute wrong lesson and we're supposed to just be fine with that. Fuck off with that garbage, Symphogear! I expect better from you and am immensely disappointed, my enthusiasm for the rest of this season diminished.

Eureka Seven - Wait, it's fucking recap episode? With not just Renton recapping things but Stoner and Dominic??? Consider me immensely disappointed in you this week too, Eureka Seven!

[iunctura-arch]

"AND DID I MENTION THAT KAZANARI FUDOU WAS THE ONE WHO DECIDED TO TRY TO MURDER US FIRST?!"

"I FOUND THAT OUT BECAUSE OF HIBIKI. HEY, THANKS FOR NOTHING, ASSHOLE! DARK AND I COULD'VE DIED BECAUSE OF YOU! WE WEREN'T EVEN A THREAT!!"

"Class two supernatural disaster my ass..."

[orionbreisgau]

Genjuurou, Yatsuhiro, Tsubasa and Fudou were the members of the Kazanari family.

[fenristsukigami]

HOO BOY.

XV really be out here makin me want to write/type out a “Eggman’s Announcement” thing. Directed towards Fudou Kazanari. Said from the POV of ALL of the members of S.O.N.G., and not just the Geahs.

AND TSUBASA AND GENJURO GET TO SAY THE MOST OUT OF IT.

[tetrapod-speedweed]

an XV style birthday for Tsubasa :^)

(sorry to our beloved sakimorikko but I came up with the idea a little before remembering it was her birthday so I couldn't resist)

Symphogear XV - Episode 4

Symphogear XV – Episode 4

At last, our grand mastermind has been revealed! After several seasons of blustering for a return to Imperial Japan and being a general dick to all of his relatives, Fudou Kazanari has revealed himself to be an even more heinous figure than anticipated, and an outright traitor to the Symphocause. This time, victory for our heroes might demand outright rebellion against the Japanese government, as…

TsubaMari: Crossed Wires and Crossed Hearts

Just an idea I had for a fic I will probably never write. If anyone is interested in writing this fic, full speed ahead! Credit optional, feel free to exercise creative liberty with anything written here. Drop me a PM on FFN or reblog this post with a link if you’d like me to check out your fic.

Characters: Maria Cadenzavna Eve, Tsubasa Kazanari, Kanade Amou, Finé | Ryouko Sakurai, Nastassja, and others.

Pairing: Tsubasa/Maria, optional Kanade/Tsubasa/Maria.

Trope: Fake dating on steriods, AKA fake marriage.

Summary: Tsubasa and Kanade inflitrate Finé’s organization to find out more about and potentially sabotage Finé’s next big plan. Finé wants Tsubasa’s money and other resources, so she orders Maria to seduce Tsubasa. Both Tsubasa and Maria accidentally catch feelings. Will they get their happy-ever-after or will they end up a modern Romeo and Juliet? Will Kanade accept a bribe and step away or will she have to fend off assassins?

Length: one-shot or multi-chaptered, any number of words.

Story notes after the cut.

Crossed Wires and Crossed Hearts: Tsubasa/Maria Fake Dating AU

“I understand that we need a convincing story to effectively infiltrate FIS, but this—” Tsubasa shakes her head in utter bafflement.

“C’mon, Tsubasa,” Kanade winks at her, “You know I’m quite the catch! Definitely worth running away from your ultra-conservative family so that we can elope in America where homosexuals can legally marry. Arson will make for a fun, unique honeymoon!”

Tsubasa rolls her eyes, muttering, “Be serious, Kanade.”

Ogawa says, apologetic but firm, “The best lies have a grain of truth in them. We know this is above and beyond what we usually ask of our operatives, but what FIS is researching and implementing warrants an extraordinary response. Moreover, the marriage would protect you from being asked to enter a political marriage of insurance, at least while they work to either suborn Kanade or remove her from your life.”

“This is going to be like a soap opera, except with more espionage and murder!”

***

Being the (figure) head of the organization means Maria usually has nothing to do with new recruits; in this case, however, one of the new recruits is high-profile enough to merit a meeting with high command.

Tsubasa Kazanari is a woman just two years her junior, valuable in her disillusionment with the establishment but also in the leverage she brings with her: Tsubasa Kazanari is not only the heir to the Kazanari clan of Japan, but she is also a favorite of their parent clan, the Azuma assassin syndicate which operates on a global scale. The resources this woman could bring to FIS have most members of high command ready to do anything it takes to secure her loyalty. Or, more accurately, her neutered compliance.

“It would have been nice to tie her to us through marriage. Well, we can still give it a try. It’s not likely to work, but do your best to seduce her. Considering that she was willing to elope, I doubt she will leave her lover of her own initiative; still, we could have the lover removed and have you sweep in to comfort her in her grief. Hm, we shall see.”

Never has Maria felt more like a pawn than now. And Tsubasa Kazanari, for all her supposed power, will also be little more than a pawn. After all, spoiled rich heiresses have zero defenses against psychological warfare.

***

FIS [or whatever organization] is working to hijack the moon and take over the world [or something else equally nefarious]. Tsubasa and Kanade go undercover to gauge the extent of [FIS’] abilities, sabotage what they can, and feed information to [S.O.N.G]. Their cover story is that Tsubasa, madly in love with Kanade, has issued an ultimatum to Fudou to let her American marriage stand in Japan or lose his perfect heir [note that the marriage and ultimatum actually happen, so as to convince any scrutinizers that the cover story is real even if TsubaKana relationship isn’t necessarily real]. While in America, the plan is to get themselves recruited by FIS and work as high up the chain as they can. On the [FIS] side, Nastassja and Finé want to secure the resources Tsubasa has; Finé decides to weaponize feelings, just for funsies. They order Maria to seduce Tsubasa while they bribe or eliminate Kanade. Maria doesn’t want to seduce anyone, much less a spoiled rich heiress [2nd Div’s activities are top-secret and Fudou has begun parading Tsubasa in front of the media], but she will because her mother asked it of her. Unfortunately for Maria, she finds herself actually liking Tsubasa. Ver is somewhere, maybe as a sleeper/double agent in [S.O.N.G./2nd Div] or working in [FIS]. Chris’ story line ties into Kirika and Shirabe’s story line in Japan. If including Hibiki and Miku, then the Symphogear must exist and HibiMiku are in the background but definitely working to tip the scales in SONG’s favor.

Thus, three main story lines:

1.       Maria seducing Tsubasa, accidentally falling in love, then trying to arrange an escape for Tsubasa and Kanade (whom she assumes Tsubasa genuinely loves given the way Tsubasa talks about her). Cliché or not, Maria doesn’t discover the truth of Tsubasa’s feelings until FIS HQ is literally falling apart around them and they’re seconds from becoming prisoners and it seems they’ll have to leave someone behind.

2.      Tsubasa evading commitment of her money, personnel, and influence as long as possible, accidentally falling in love with Maria, then trying to arrange an escape for Maria while also collecting as much information as possible. She can’t admit the truth yet, but she’s sure Maria understands that their love is mutual.

3.      Kanade playing coy with bribery, dodging impatient assassination attempts, sabotaging what she can without detection, perhaps getting a bit of revenge on Finé on Chris’ behalf, and investigating Maria to ascertain her suitability as a partner for Tsubasa by playing the jealous, territorial wife. Escape? We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it! OT3 is also a totally valid option.

Optional three side story lines:

1.       Shirabe and Kirika are in Japan, doing something. Double agents? Something with Ver?

2.      Chris is maybe also in Japan, maybe doing something. Possibly related to #1 or #3. Or she’s with Finé and secretly plotting against her.

3.      Hibiki is about to become the savior, and Miku proves invaluable as her emotional support.

Second half of Shirabe Meshi chapter 21

The judges taste Team Diva's lettuce rolls

Adam, please

He mulls over it for a bit, but then Shirabe steps in

She says that he may think it's an imperfect dish that strayed from the original plan, but there was no such thing as a perfect dish from the start. If you take tens of thousands of people with completely different tastes, there will be no one dish that every single one will agree is good.

Sometimes she'll make something well, and sometimes she may mess up, and if she makes something better than she could before, it makes her happy

And that's only possible because people aren't perfect

Every single judge gives the dish a "good"

Random Indian Guy even starts dancing he finds it so good

So that's a victory for Team Diva

Then Kirika comes to a Very Important Realization: Does this mean they get gold?

Well, not necessarily

Ogawa suddenly appears next to Kirika and it turns out one of the mountains in the Eastern Alps had been hollowed out to create the gold. Nobody was seriously injured, but the gold will have to be used to cover costs for repairing the damage to nature in that area

Unfortunately Noble Red didn't get the rent money they needed but Random Indian Guy approaches them and told them that it was good and he enjoyed the Japanese flavors

Millaarc: "That's right...Vanessa and Elsa's food is good!"

Elsa: "None of us are Japanese though"

Vanessa: "It's fine, it doesn't matter when it comes to making good food."

Afterward lettuce rolls become incredibly popular. The "Indian Lettuce Roll Dance" is an internet trend. Lettuce sells out everywhere. (Shirabe, what have you done?)

Ending this post with a panel of Shirabe happily watching Kirika eat from during her speech because it's cute

SYMPHOGEAR X ACE COMBAT 7: ALICORN ARC

[[ And the first set is ready. Based on @brokenxuniverses‘ suggestion of making Adam replace the maniacal captain Matias Torres, the set goes like this:

Adam as the captain of the submarine carrier Alicorn, so Germain, Cagliostro and Prelatti now are part of the Alicorn support and defense squadron. Likewise, the antagonists of XV, now are characters following a similar motivation as the Alicorn crew. Noble Red now are members of the Mimic squadron, an elite unit of mercenaries with the sole mission of erradicating Trigger [ Hibiki ], who have built a legend around her. And Fudou Kazanari in the place of General Clemens; a person who a first sight seem related to the good guys but in reality is a traitor, the one who adquired the services of Mimic squadron so they could get rid of Trigger, and anyone else who might interfere in his plans ]]

[[ And there is one character, an actual good guy I cant find a good replacement; the osean weapons analist David North, any suggestions are welcome ]]

[sayaberry]

hey everybody today im starting a kickstarter to put fudou kazanari down, the benefits would be tsubasa gets emotionally and mentally manipulated way less

[xbuster]

Kazanari Fudou would like Attack on Titan

[fenristsukigami]

Okay. OKAY. O-FUCKIN-KAY!!!

I call IMMENSE BULLSHIT. Genjuro is the MANLIEST OF ALL MEN IN EXISTENCE. Yes, Fudou’s his father, the man who should technically “know him best”, BUT HOW IN THE SEVEN HELLS CAN THIS OLD FART JUST READ GENJURO’S STRATS LIKE AN OPEN BOOK?

This fogey probably hasn’t watched a single action movie in his LIFE. AND HE CAN JUST PULL ACTUAL ANIME KATANA BULLSHITE AND THE FUCKING IZUNA DROP OUT OF HIS ASS. (look it up if you don’t know what the Izuna Drop is.)

And legitimately, think about it (cont. under cut):

Genjuro: has been shown to be able to punch so hard and so strong he creates shockwaves that can not only completely destroy the biggest size of giant swords that Tsubasa can make using Ame no Habakiri (without any contact with it), handle the power of SIX GEAR WIELDERS AT THEIR AXZ POWER LEVELS, more or less completely negate the explosions of BOMBS simply by GETTING INTO A PROPER FIGHTING STANCE WITH MAXIMUM EFFORT, and even PUNCH SO HARD THAT HE CAN CAUSE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO THE NEHUSHTAN ARMOR THROUGH SHOCKWAVES.

Fudou: he’s sat in front of the Kazanaris and S.O.N.G. crew menacingly, been an increasingly horrible dickwad to both them and Noble Red.... that’s about it for what we see of him before now.

Seriously. It makes no sense and I hate it. It’s a cool fight scene but considering what we’ve seen of Genjuro (ESPECIALLY if you consider XDU canon, which it kinda is in some parts), I have to call bullshit.

Sorry. Rant over now. Just had to... get that outta my system.

...also yeah the eggman announcement thing I mentioned earlier is totally gonna happen sometime later on, now that I’ve seen THIS.
