BLCD Review: The Titan’s Bride (for reals this time)

Title: Kyojinzoku no Hanayome (巨人族の花嫁)

Release Date: 2020/12/23

Author/Artist: ITKZ

Cast:

Ono Yuuki x Itou Kento

Nakazawa Masatomo

Takatsuka Tomohito

Synopsis: “It’s like a small fruit…” The Titan’s large hands grasped my thing easily with one hand… With the difference in our size, if we go all the way, I’m definitely gonna die…!?

Review Proper

Sorry.

I honestly might have downplayed my review for the mini drama CD back in August.

This, along with the anime, is a disaster.

See, as a manga, Titan’s Bride is okay and good at best, but there’s only so many ways you can voice giants with utter believability. Ono did well in the mini drama cd, but oh boy, I really don’t want to say this, but Caius here is just... trash bad. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t wholly Ono Yuuki’s fault. It’s just that this setting is just so impossible to work with without visual cues, and since Ono’s natural tone isn’t nearly as deep for a role as this one, it all just sounds so fake that I couldn’t help but snort at it most of the time (also, I slept through this TWICE). And no, it’s not just Ono; it’s literally everyone who’s been cast as a giant that sounds weird. 

Wait.

Wait.

I just came back from reading my notes, so I’ll be taking all of what I said back. THE VOICE ACTING WAS INDEED BAD. On top of struggling with an unbelievable Caius, Ono also didn’t have any chemistry with Itou Kento. HAHAHAHA why do I find this so funny? How’d we go from Love Hole 303 (aka OnoYuu’s best) to this (aka OnoYuu’s worst?) 💀 Itou Kento’s performance wasn’t flawless either. He caught me off guard when Kouichi cried and not in a good way. 🥴 Caius’ farmer friend takes the cake, though. His actor wasn’t credited either, but for the short amount of time he was on track, believability was 0. Nakamo did well as Bertholdt, though, and his Beartoto might be the only one that was a good casting choice from the get-go because he wasn’t really a giant. Bardlot might have been able to save the manga, but he alone wasn’t enough to save the BLCD. Tomo was idk not bad, but not really commendable either.

You know a casting that could probably save this? Kawahara Yoshihisa (Juda) or Shingaki Tarusuke (Byakuya) for Caius, Hirarin for Dr. Martu (Tomo sounds like new-age Hirarin ngl), and Ono Yuuki for Bartholomew. I actually didn’t like Itou Kento voicing Kouichi at first, but he grew on me. I don’t even know who else could suit Kouichi better. Itou Kento just has to step it up more.

The sound engineering for this one was shit—I’m not going to hold back punches on this one. Again, if Glanz was just able to give Ono that giant-esque edge he so needed, then we might have a bearable outcome at least. But with regard to the sound effects and the bgms, it’s still shit. Sometimes, the volume of the sfx for Caius’ or any of the other giants’ movements isn’t even right. You’d think that the bed and Kouichi’s bottom would sound like they’re breaking because they’re being railed by a goddamn train, but nooooo. AND OH MY GOD THE FUCKING MOMU—the fucking Momu (the giant ass cow) was voiced by a man and it freaks me out. I would have appreciated it if it was just voiced by a real cow and was amplified. Y’ALL KNOW IT’S BAD WHEN THEY GET A MAN VOICE A COW AND FAIL.

Just thinking about this BLCD makes me feel exhausted. Do you know when the last time this industry has seen a good isekai? It has been a long 11 years since Kyou Kara Maoh Sora ni Hibiku Ryuu no Utagoe, damn it. I didn’t want to say this because I’m pretty sure that this isn’t true, but just the outcome wants to prove otherwise; this BLCD feels like there’s 0 effort put into it. I mean, I guess that’s suitable for what Titan’s Bride really is, but come on. As I’ve said in the mini drama review, y’all just shouldn’t adapt something when a. it’s not worth it and b. if y’all aren’t going to be serious about it. I KNEW THAT ME HAVING THREE GOOD BLCDS IN A ROW WAS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE.

I just don’t understand how it’s already 2021 and there still hasn’t been an adaptation for MadK! All these talents and money wasted. 😩 I DEFINITELY DON’T RECOMMEND GETTING THIS. It’s not entirely faithful to the manga either because many events have been rearranged and y’all know what went down with the other bits. Just listen to Sora ni Ryuu which stars Kondo Takashi (young Fei Wan), Konishi Katsuyuki (adult Fei Wan), and Yusa Koji (Ryuusei). The world building on that was just amazing. *sigh* Where has that 2010 quality gone, I wonder.

Sequel Story to The Titan's Bride Anime will be Told in New Drama CD in December

    A new drama CD inspired by ITKZ (Itokazu)'s fantasy boys-love manga Kyojinzoku no Hanayome / The Titan's Bride is confirmed to be released in Japan on December 23, 2020. It will tell a sequel story to the manga's ongoing TV anime adaptation.

In a life of the different world that he thought it was impossible at first, he gradually opens his heart to Caius' earnest affection, and the two of them are able to share their feelings for each other. But the day to make a decision whether to stay in the different world or go back to his homeworld is coming soon...!? Popular characters from the original manga, such as the beast-man Baro and Doctor Martu, will also make an appearance!

BLCD Review: The Titan’s Bride

Title: Kyojinzoku no Hanayome (巨人族の花嫁)

Release Date: 2020/03/18

Author/Artist: ITKZ

Cast: Ono Yuuki x Itou Kento

Synopsis: “It’s like a small fruit…” The Titan’s large hands grasped my thing easily with one hand… With the difference in our size, if we go all the way, I’m definitely gonna die…!?

Review Proper

I initially thought that this would just be an extra which wasn’t in the manga, but they actually adapted the first two chapters of it. My god, I swear I just blinked after making my March Releases and when I opened my eyes, I find out that this was getting an anime! And look at what it was categorized as in MAL before:

WITH A SYNOPSIS LIKE THAT?! HAHAHAHHAHA

I was curious if there’d be any differences on the volume of voices Cauis and Kouichi would speak in considering the height difference. You know how bigger the person, the bigger the voice should be, right? However, they turned out to be using the same volume. Ono Yuuki did alter his voice to sound deeper and more booming, which suited his role perfectly, but I heard him slip into a higher pitch here and there at times. You can’t fool me, boy. We go way back. 😂 Itou Kento’s Kouichi was a little dramatic than I thought he should be, but he managed to make that his own, so I don’t have any qualms about that. The sound direction could be better especially in the sfx departments, but I think that it was okay for the limited amount of content they had to go on.

I would be super interested in listening to a full BLCD adaptation instead of an anime one, though. I heard that the anime was a complete disaster so far because they took so many major plot points out of it, which is a shame because it's actually quite well-written for what it is: porn. But well, at least the anime retained the original cast unlike that anime adaptation I refuse to acknowledge the very existence of that rhymes with Given. If they were just going to take some random work and adapt it into an anime without even conveying a single thing that the manga was or is trying to tell, then I hope the anime production companies would just leave the BL world alone. I still have my fingers crossed for Clouds Gather, though. 

The CD is only around thirty minutes long, so there really isn’t much to go on with. It’s pretty accurate to the manga, though, so you can definitely read it along with the CD. Is it worth the spend? If you’re willing, then break a leg. But I think waiting for a whole BLCD adaptation would be better. I haven’t seen the anime, but I don’t think I would and would ever plan to. 😂
