Seven Seas Entertainment Licenses the Cat Man Manga

Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that it had acquired the license for the Cat Man manga by Parari. A poignant story that exposes the cognitive bias rampant throughout modern society–from the point of view of a man who happens to be a cat. Hachisuke is a cat humanoid living in a world where humans and cats coexist. But Hachisuke is withdrawn and has difficulty being loved by humans. After…

God Papillon did not take it well, either

I do headcanon them to be a very calm and collected type of Shugod bc they're the one who represents the Country of Neutrality. But it's out the window once something happens to a Chief Justice they care about.

They and Hachisuke are sparring buddies and because Kamariina isn't physically strong enough to hold back her partner, Hachi has to do the honors 😂

Hachisuke's design isn't finalized, but I have Papinton and Kamariina here.

Himeno is on the fence about Rita's "new look" 😂

I don’t know how Hachi is equally perfect as a giant but I’m not going to question it. Yeah, I got the pun of Hachi and Honey the moment I saw them together but it was still out of left field to me. Not that I mind, though, ‘cause it works!

(I figure the age gap is 3-5 years. Nothing to lose sleep over.)

[swordboiis]

The Saniwa introduces the game show Family Feud in the citadel, who are the members of the two participating "families"? Which two members of the opposing families face-off first? What kind of questions get asked? What are the top variants for each questions? What family get's the most questions right? Which family wins and ends up playing fast money? etc. I thought this would be a really fun ask, so i hope you are familiar with the Family Feud game show. :)

Not to worry, I know Family Feud pretty well, I like to think I had fun with this request.

• The only ‘family’ actually big enough to form a team is the Awataguchi so versing them is a mixed team. Awataguchi [Ichigo, Yagen, Midare, Honebami and Atsushi] and Mixed [Kasen, Izuminokami, Hachisuka, Nagasone, Urashima]. • Horikawa is decked out to cheer on Kane-san and roped his brothers and the Okitagumi to also be a part of his cheer squad. • The remaining Awataguchi brothers are cheering on their brothers. There are other spectators though. • Urashima and Kane-san both wanted Nagasone for team rep but Hachisuka wouldn’t budge. • Midare kept trash talking Urashima lamely. • So the two team reps who face off are Ichigo and Kasen. • There are a variety of questions and the Saniwa made it nice and personal, coming up with the questions themselves and surveying the swords for the answers. The questions were relevant to the Citadel as well, meant to make it extra fun. Some examples:• “Name a sword frequently pranked by Tsurumaru.” Top answer: Mikazuki Munechika.• “Things Yamanbagiri says when drinking.” Top answer: Even a copy knows how to get drunk.• “Things you do when you first arrive at the Citadel.” Top answer: Get shown around.• The ones who answer the worst/get the least points from each team are Honebami and Kane-san. • In the end the team who gets the most answers are team Awataguchi though Mixed team put up a good fight.

MUSICAL TOUKEN RANBU ~MUSUBI NO HIBIKI, HAJIMARI NO NE~

The translation is starting to get some shape, so I guess it’s about time I shared some spoilers... xD Well, a preview... I’m not trying to spoil the story!

If you’re interested in some other little excerpts, read on!

Please remember these are tentative translations! The final version may be different.

A conversation between Horikawa & Tomoegata

H: Tomoe!

T: Horikawa Kunihiro.

H: Say, Tomoe.

T: What's the matter?

H: You and Kane... Izuminokami were sent on a mission together, right?

T: That's right.

H: Did something happen?

T: Something?

H: For example, did Mutsunokami and Kane fall out?

T: I don't think they did.

H: I see.

T: However, there was a moment Mutsunokami didn't make much sense. And Izuminokami responded rather strongly. Objectively speaking, they don't seem to be friends. However, their behavior didn't jeopardize the mission.

The team is assigned by Master (A)

A: Tomoegata Naginata, you'll be the captain.

T: I am the captain? Did you run out of other options?

A: No, I truly want you to fill the position.

T: But...

M: We're counting on you.

T: Are you sure this is all right?

M: Yeah!

N: It's master's decision. We have no reason to object.

Y: When Hachisuke was made captain, he turned to be a valuable asset.

I: If you'd like, I'll be the vice-captain.

H: Then, I will assist the vice-captain who assists the captain.

T: All right, I accept the position.

M: Then, shall we go?

A: Touken Danshi, into battle!

Hijikata & Riki are joking around

H: Jeez, Riki, that's enough. I can walk by myself. Say, Riki!

R: No, you can't.

H: What? Jeez, you're treating me like I'm a wounded animal.

R: You are in fact wounded, Hijikata.

H: You mean this? It's nothing a little spit can't cure.

R: Then, please spit on it. Until it has fully healed.

H: Jeez, where's your sense of humor, Riki?

[......]

H: You're so unsophisticated.

R: I'm well versed in poetry.

H: Really?

R: If you know it, you feel lost. If you do not, you do not feel lost. The road to true love. **

H: Riki?

R: I wonder how my parents are doing. Now, look at this. That poem is a total disaster.

H: Riki! Jeez! That's not funny, Riki.

** This poem was written by Hijikata. It doesn’t follow haiku rules.

Nakajima joins the conversation 

N: After they cruelly murdered Master Kondo, they displayed his severed head on the Sanjo riverbank in Kyoto. And then, Okita...

H: Soji is gone too?

H: Everyone is dead?

H: I'm sorry for all the trouble, Nakajima.

N: I considered to commit suicide, however... No matter what, I wanted you to meet one last time...

H: Kondo... What happened, Ka? You're so small.

H: Thank you, Nakajima.

H: Let's lay Kondo to rest.

Yasusada and Nagasone have a chat

Y: Tolerant, openhearted and thoughtful, you mean Kondo?

N: Yeah.

Y: Now that you mention it, I agree. Strange. How is that possible?

N: Maybe Mutsunokami's former master, Sakamoto Ryoma, was such a man too.

Y: I see. Then, that means Sakamoto Ryoma and Kondo thought alike.

N: That's true.

Y: I wonder, what would have happened if Sakamoto Ryoma and Kondo had met?

N: Yeah. They're two of a kind. They may argue at first, but I'm sure they'd hit off well with each other.

Y: Wouldn't that be amazing? If that had happened, then history...!

N: Yes?

Y: Oops, not good, not good. History would collapse.

N: We're free to imagine. No one can take our imagination from us.

Tomoegata needs Yasusada’s opinion

Y: Hey!

T: Yamatonokami?

Y: What are you doing?

T: I'm thinking about my story.

Y: Story?

T: Every sword warrior has his own story. Especially you lot, swords of the Shinsengumi.

Y: Yeah.

T: I don't have one.

Y: You don't?

T: Yamatonokami, I need your opinion. The History Retrograde Army, aren't they the ruins of what were once swords without story? If that's the case...

Y: Tomoe, you shouldn't think too much about it.

T: I suppose so.

chiyo’s home ^______^_^_^_^

this was the hardest i went for a sword so far l m a o

i love his dialect and his voice ahhhhh

yes i like drawing him a lot because he almost has hachisuk hair ok

ok

[wondernoise]

short ksj ch2 summary below the cut

j has an “image book” which can spring images within it to life

sunshine honey married hachi, not joker

haha what nine-year age difference

they have two kids, a daughter yaiba and a baby son hachisuke

hachisuke

hosshi still lives with them and they’re training j

j’s parents are joker and queen, and he has an unnamed baby sister

they left j with hachi to train and went w the baby to the southern cross, or so he says

joker’s older design is lovely and very silver heart-inspired

i’m sorry, but you can’t just retcon an entire relationship. you can’t. it’s just bad writing.

especially after defining any hints of romance between your couple as sibling teasing

or having no romantic development between them at all??

sunshine honey is joker’s age. why would she marry hachi??

ANYWAY kai has “normal parents” (probably unrelated to the kj crew) and can’t leave at night to be a phantom thief w j because it’s “too late at night” so hachisuke uses ninjutsu to pretend to be kai so real kai can leave

j’s car is the “road jack”

why can this child drive better than me

it turns invisible, which is just asking for an accident when you park it in a space

j is stealing “treasures of darkness” which (from what i could tell) are cursed treasures that have killed lots of people by starting wars, etc.

kai: “are you crazy?!?!?”

j: “but it’ll raise my phantom thief rank!!”

three detectives forming the “super security service”

one of them got possessed immediately

kai got caught and j screamed... his own name? why.

they got thrown on an escalator w lasers at the top. j got a watermelon from his book, it got sliced, and he ate it, because joker’s genes are strong

THEN he got a mirror to reflect the lasers

they ran and separated bc kai wanted to hide instead of charging ahead like j

kai hid behind a bunch of mannequins but set off a trap so they all came to life and started chasing him

j got caught by the detectives and hit w a book launcher

they both started to cry that they wanted to be w each other again

immediate tearful reunion

j got caught by a robot, so he threw his book to kai and told him to go on ahead 

kai crying for j dramatically in an elevator

“it doesn’t mean anything if i run away alone, since the two of us are a team”

“oh wait the book is glowing?”

possessed detective leader nearly kills j while his unpossessed colleagues watch

his last thought is “kai...”

turns out the image book gave kai a giant magnet he used to stick the robots and possessed guy to the ceiling (j marked the page when he threw it)

j: “it opened up, huh, kai? tonight’s shocking first page!”

j and kai: “we’re kaitou jokers! and this is the big turnabout the two of us made together!”

they got away with the treasure!

introduction of rival kaitou gold moon, the “moonlight phantom thief” who wants to seal the treasures of darkness

gold moon’s “moon coins” can seal the spirits held in the treasures of darkness! 

no confirmed gender though, and uses traditionally-feminine “watashi”

Musical『Touken Ranbu』(From CDs) & Dansui! Stage - Random Bromide Scans!

These were scanned and given to me by @mitsukimahou to post after she saw the other bromides I posted last night!

The first 2 were from the Yume Hitotsu CD+DVD and the CD Versions of Hachisuke Kotetsu (Played by lovely and hilarious Takahashi Kensuke)

The other 2 is a bromide and a coaster of Sasaki Shuhei (Played by the good looking Matsuda Ryo. And it was also his birthday the other day also!) Had to be removed due to ‘adult content’ reasons.

(After working out how to adjust the colour, I have changed them to those instead)

PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THE SCANS!

(They have been watermarked, but you can save these to your computer/phone)

Hi, I was wondering how do you think the starter swords would react to having a foreigner as a master? Like how would they try to help or welcome them? And how would they react to a master that tries to learn more about their history and culture?

First just a reminder there are five starter swords so that goes over my request maximum, please try remember that in the future. This is only going to be a short general answer so I'm going to ignore that this time. Other than getting used to cultural differences and the fear of unknowingly offending their master, they wouldn't treat you too differently from a local. Aside from Mutsunokami and Kasen being especially interested in learning about their country anyway. If the master wanted to learn more about Japan, then they'd help the best they could. A foreigner is still a person and a master is someone they'll always respect regardless of where they're from.

Katsugeki episode 6 reaction

ANIME IS SAVED Y’ALL

We see some more refrence to the game mechanics which we all like to see. My theory here is that the Saniwa doesn’t have enough resources to repair his boys because he wasted so many trying to smith that darn jiji. Ok, jokes a side the specific part where we see the Saniwa pouring their magic into Tonbokiri’s spear head shows the importance of repairing their weapon forms which we knows aligns with my hc on repairs so I liked seeing that. I gotta say having Tonbokiri be in a coma was a really strange way to go about it, but I suppose we don’t really consider the sword boys injuries putting them in such a state so it’s interesting.

I’m sorry guys but I abosultely lost my shit seeing the collection of Konnosuke’s with slight alterations to their physical appeareance. I was thiking this supports the multi-Saniwa theory and they’re all working together as separate forces with the one cause. I’ll stop complaining that Konnosuke is useless now, he’s obviously got the role of collaborating together with the others. I will still complain about the fried tofu jokes like I get it foxes like fried tofu you don’t have to show Konnosuke’s obsession each episode as a gag. You have Mutsu and Tsuru, surely they can manage to bring the occassinal light hearted comedy moments.

But anyway, my guess was Multi-Saniwa but the conversation between them makes it seem like there’s a Konnosuke to gudie each party. I mean, it could still be Multi-Saniwa, some of the Konnosuke could share different Saniwa but we don’t explicitly know.

The Saniwa themselves, I gotta say my view of the Katsugeki Saniwa is that they are young so that’s why they’re generally serious as they want to be viewed as mature and taken seriously. They are highly intelligent and understanding and tend to shoulder a lot through their concern for their swords. He seemed very aware of and concerned for their feelings to me so they’re good in my books.

!! Atsushi, Nakigitsune, Ookurikara, Souza, Sayo, Kousetsu, Aizen, Hotarumaru, Kasen. Can you guys hear my disappointed screaming all the way from Australia, we see Aizen and Hotarumaru without Kuniyuki. Katsugeki is clearly plotting against me.

Nihongou, Otegine and Doudanuki are sitting at a table together. Hachisuke and Urashima. Jiroutachi and Taroutachi. Ichigo with Hirano, Maeda and Midare. Nikkari and Ishikirimaru are getting a table. Hasebe and Shokudaikiri sitting across from each other their table also shared by Namazuo, Goktai and Akita. Shishiou’s going to join Iwatooshi and Imano, of course he’s sitting with the old men. The reason I’m pointing these out is partly because, hey we are getting some screen time for all these boys like we’d hoped but also for two real reasons.

One, notice that some of them are in their internal affairs clothes and other in their battle clothes. I didn’t pay enough attention to see if it was anyone but Iwatooshi, but Iwatooshi wasn’t wearing either of his game outfits is something I found strange. Probably just an accident on ufotable’s part but it caught my eye. The other thing I wanted to point out is how seeing Nihongou and Otegine eating together really stabs another sore spot at Tonbokiri’s condition, but also that Nagasone wasn’t eating with his brothers stood out to me. Maybe Hachisuka just refuses to let him eat with them or he could have been doing some training with Kashuu and Yasu, who knows?

Horikawa’s being a worried mother this episode, we finally have a reason after the first episode to really pay attention to Kane. I feel he really wasn’t standing out despite the obvious screen time and position as a main character and captain.

The Kane-Mutsu moment was good for their characters and all but I can’t help but be a little disappointed there was no chance to see cool Nagasone being the one to help a little. But for what we did get, Mutsu’s super amazing character is shown again and we’ve got some strong feelings and internal issues for Kane to get through.

Nice Honebami and Yagen time, it’s good to see a little reminder that Honebami and Namazuo are big bros to the tantous. Though I really have to say that Honebami seemed really off. I’m used to him being stoic, I figured whether he wants to present himself that way or not it’s just how his face generally is. Yagen’s character development still bothers me since nothing triggered it but I promised to stop complaining about that I think.

Konnosuke still bothers me and I think they’re trying too hard to make him seem cute but the important thing is that Tonbokiri is okay.

I really like the little friendship(?) between Mutsu and Horikawa it’s honestly a great thing. And of course, isn’t Tonbokiri a perfect angel yet again today?

Kogi and Mika being old man, snacking and enjoying scenery as we expect of them. Though again, what they’re wearing confuses me. What the sword boys have been drawn in has some inconsistency if that makes sense?

We get to see more of the goofy old man side of Jiji, I especially have always liked the idea of Jiji-Kane interaction so this is good. I don’t quite have an opinion formed or know what to think about Kane’s struggles so I’ll get back to you guys on that. But now we’re up to the main attraction.

Oodenta, Yamanbagiri, Honebami, Higekiri and of course the most important character in all of Katsugeki is Hizamaru. He is why anime is saved, my love, precious boy is animated and so perfect and all is right with the world.

Coughs are right so Manba as captain is also of note and if we see any first and second squad interaction I really hope something is mentioned about Hori and Manba being bros.

Jiji’s talk in the next episode preview actually killed me guys. What a hopeless old man.

That’s it for today’s episode and I really hope to see more Hizamaru I mean to see more action for the first squad but without neglecting the second.
