These are quick sketches (each of them took me between 10 and 20 minutes) (❁´◡`❁)

Listening to Joshua Seth swooning over voicing Tai once more just made me realize once again: Taichi Yagami is a very special character, who has a great impact on the people who play him.

Joshua Seth (English dub, OG), who calls this role his "life's work".

Natsuki Hanae (Japanese dub, Tri/Kizuna), who was so anxious about getting the role right, doing it justice.

Gaku Matsumoto (Japanese stageplay), who went on about how much Digimon means to people.

Toshiko Fujita (Japanese dub, Adventure+02), who still kept on voicing him until the end, even if her voice got weaker.

Florian Knorn (German dub, OG), who flew back from Austria and came back from retirement to voice him.

Zeno Robinson (English dub, reboot), who audibly put his entire heart into this role...

This boy is special.

[English Subs DL] Joker Game II

Hello~! This is an unexpected project from me, I’m sure, but it was a really great stage to have worked on! Thank you to @thiswasmadeonawhim​ for requesting me to do them! I had a blast reliving the anime and catching up with the novel, even if they did make me go through a rollercoaster of emotions in the process ^^;

The first stage’s subs were wonderfully done by @/great-blaster and their team in this post HERE. Please check them out if you want to get into the world of Joker Game stage~! (Not sure if the actual video is provided or if it’s just softsubs though ^^;) It’s not completely necessary to watch the first one to get the gist of the second one, but it would be better ifjust to get a feel for the characters, setting, and overall vibe that Joker Game offers ^^

Translations for the “Valkyrie” light novel some of the stage was based on can be found HERE as well! The novel really helped me a lot when I got lost, so a big thank you to the translator who did them, too~! 

For those who are interested in getting the Blu-ray for themselves, I’ll provide links below~ BD Purchase Links: JOKER GAME STAGE 1 | JOKER GAME STAGE 2

Notes, disclaimers, trigger warnings, and link under the cut, enjoy~!

NOTES:

※ THE FILE IS SUBTITLES ONLY, VIDEO IS NOT INCLUDED!

DISCLAIMERS:

I am not a historian in any way, and while I had the novel to guide me, I am not 100% sure whether the historical references are accurate or true to life.  I did do some further reading regarding some of the names and events, but if something is off or not accurate, please feel free to DM me so I can edit the subs!

I only translated the play, so any problematic or controversial views/idealisms/philosophies mentioned in the story do not represent my own views. Please don’t come sliding into my DMs about them.

TRIGGER WARNINGS:

Parts of the play are set in Nazi Germany, so please be warned of the presence of characters based on their real life counterparts (i.e. Joseph Goebbels, Leni Riefenstahl, etc.), as well as a lot of Nazi Germany symbolisms and references.

It is not graphic, per se, but it is a stage play based on spies, so some scenes, word choices, and sequences contain violence.

Mentions of war, war propaganda, and conspiracies are also present, so please be warned.

RULES:

[MOST IMPORTANT] Please DO NOT re-post the subs and the link outside of Tumblr! If you want to share outside, please, please DM me about it and link my blog to your post. That’s all I ask.

Please DO NOT remove my credits.

Please DO NOT re-translate without permission.

SUBS DL LINK: GOOGLE DRIVE

※ Please only DM me if there is a problem with the subtitles. I cannot help you if it’s related to the videos.

※ If you enjoyed my work, please consider buying me a coffee here, if you can. It’ll really help me out a lot.(o^▽^o) Thank you!!

Manga, anime, and stage play of Ritsu casting his powers 

[tokusongs]

"Take It Easy", from Shuriken Sentai Ninninger (2015). Performed by Ao Ninger/Kato "Cloud" Yakumo (Matsumoto Gaku).

[that-was-anticlimactic]

okay but can we just talk about "suffering and more suffering" and how each of these versions manage to capture the same haunted horror yet add different layers of suffering to it?

[ID: three images of Ritsu from Mob Psycho 100 having a breakdown. the first one is a panel from the Mob Psycho 100 manga. the right half of the panel is a ½ body drawing of Kamuro. he is covering his mouth and the lower half of his face with his hand as he laughs. his other arm is wrapped around his stomach. the background is roses. the text on this half of the panel reads: “Intoxicated / Completely swallowed in his illusions”. the left half of the panel is a ½ body drawing of Ritsu. his eyes are completely black. he is holding his head in both of his hands. he appears incredibly distressed and horrified. the background of this half is cacti. the text reads: “Suffering / And more suffering.”. the second image is the same scene depicted in the anime except it's only of Ritsu. he is still holding his head and there are still cacti in the background. he is sweating. unlike in the manga panel, his eyes are all white. he appears haunted. the third image is that same scene depicted in the third stage play with Matsumoto Gaku as Ritsu. there are no cacti in the image. Ritsu is angled slightly to the left. he holds his head in his hands. his mouth is open as he screams. off-screen, Dimple is saying: "...or in pain. Deep pain.". /End ID.]

do you have any jdrama recs? i really wanna start watching them! thank u sm! 💓

hi, anon! I do have some jdrama recommendations but since you didn't specify your preferred genre, I'd take it that you're fine with any. (٥⁀▽⁀ ) You can click the links to check the summary.

Bitter Blood (Partners by Blood) - the first jdrama I finished watching, the comedy in this series is great and aside from the genre mentioned, there are other elements of the series that made it worth watching. Genre: Action, Comedy, Mystery Main Cast: Satou Takeru, Watabe Atsuro

Kagi no Kakatta Heya - this got my interest because of the main cast but it definitely became one of my favorites that I still rewatch even to this day Genre: Thriller, Mystery, Drama Main Cast: Ohno Satoshi, Toda Erika, Sato Koichi

Good Doctor - this one originated from Kdrama of the same title, I watched the Korean and US versions so I can definitely say that this version has a different flavor to offer Genre: Life, Drama, Medical Main Cast: Yamazaki Kento, Ueno Juri, Fujiki Naohito

Mystery to Iunakare - I posted this one before and I even read the manga, the mysteries are not that mind-blowing but the main character is very interesting. this will have a movie that will feature one of the arcs in the manga and I am also looking forward to it. ^^ Genre: Mystery, Psychological, Life, Drama Main Cast: Suda Masaki

Shikaku Tantei Higurashi Tabito - the MC is also interesting, he had an accident in the past that lead to losing all his senses except his sense of sight and he is using his ability as a private detective. this has 2 seasons by the way so if ever you're going to watch this and enjoyed watching the first season, you might as well check season 2 Genre: Mystery, Drama, Supernatural Main Cast: Matsuzaka Tori, Tabe Mikako, Hamada Gaku, Sumida Moeno

Nobunaga Concerto - this one's based on manga, I never read the manga or watched the anime so maybe this could be another reason why I appreciated the live-action version but if you haven't read or watched the animanga, you can give this a try too Genre: Action, Military, Historical, Comedy Main Cast: Oguri Shun, Shibasaki Ko

3 Nen A Gumi: Ima kara Mina-san wa, Hitojichi Desu - you can watch this on Netflix, this is also a very good series Genre: Action, Thriller, Mystery, Psychological Main Cast: Suda Masaki, Nagano Mei

99.9: Keiji Senmon Bengoshi - MC is also weird so it got me, I have a thing for characters that are too weird but too good in what they do. this has season 2 as well ^^ Genre: Mystery, Comedy, Law Main Cast: Matsumoto Jun, Kagawa Teruyuki, Eikura Nana

Radiation House - this is also based on manga, I've read only a few chapters but I think the series was also well-made, there's romance but not to the point that it would go off the actual plot Genre: Mystery, Drama, Medical Main Cast: Kubota Masataka, Honda Tsubasa, Hirose Alice

Bokura wa Kiseki de Dekite Iru - now this one could be a total hit or a total miss for you, some find it boring but I really loved this series, if you are fine with watching a pure slice of life drama, you might also like this one, the MC is also eccentric which also became one of the main element of the story Genre: Life, Drama Main Cast: Kubota Masataka, Honda Tsubasa, Hirose Alice

So these are just some of the series I can recommend. If you're planning to check some of these and liked them too, feel free to DM me so we can talk about it more. It's not often that I encounter someone interested in jdrama. ^^ But damn, just reminiscing about these series makes me want to watch them again.

[ID: two images of Dimple and Ritsu from Mob Psycho 100. the first image is a digital drawing of them. they are seen from the chest up. Dimple is possessing the seventh division base security guard's body. Dimple is on the lef. he is scowling as he looks down and to his right at Ritsu, who is poking one of his red cheeks. Ritsu is staring forward blankly, completely unbothered and unamused. the first image used the second as a reference. second image is a picture of Dimple and Ritsu's stage actors, Takeshi Nadagi and Gaku Matsumoto, respectively. they are back stage but dressed in their security guard Dimple and Ritsu costumes. Gaku is poking one of Takeshi's red cheeks, again with the same, blank stare forward. Takeshi appears confused and a bit disgusted. /End ID.]

Thanks for the tag @valhelos !
