#hakata tonkatsu ramens

[mothmothwoth]

almost forgot it was America Election Day due to riding the high of this really good tonkatsu ramen I had last night

[cottonpuffmouse]

“Tsukumoya won’t do, so I’ll ask the Hakata guy”

Narita is so fr. This is the third Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens reference in the book. And if you’re questioning if I dated THAT ‘hakata guy’, you would be dead on. Ilu Chihiro and your February 14th birthday and your stupid politician dad.

What to do if Durarara over

I'm going to assume you've finished the anime and have not gone into anything else Naritaverse wise

So! You can read the novels. Since they're officially licensed by yen press, you can buy the soft cover books or get them as an ebook / kindle from barnes and noble or amazon. I don't really endorse this but I'm sure if you do enough digging around you can find old, still available, free translations like anni_fiesta who did a lot of translating back in the day. Here's the link to their Index of Translation. I still use it since it's the only place I know that has the white day story translated and it's one of my favorites (For Kadota Related reasons haha), plus a couple of other side stories.

(I think the internet archives have the novels if you do some poking around but for Narita Please Write SH 5 reasons, I'll ask you to dig those up lmao)

Speaking of Side stories, Kazinha-726 translated a bunch of drrr side stories But since they haven't updated in a while, you need to change the links from kaedesan721 to their new URL kazinha-726. I'll directly link what you need here

Izaya Spin Off Translations I don't think these are officially licensed for translation so it's fine for me to link. This is the story of Izaya now that he's been forced out of Ikebukuro, and there's two books as of writing this.

Durarara Gaidens It's some gaidens, but It's also a handful of translated convos from 3 way stand of alley relay, the links use that kaedesan721 link, so while I won't be fixing all those links for you, I can at least link the tag for all of them here. you can probably find audio for this game on youtube, though I'm not sure anyone's like.... fully translated? perhaps? Which ALSO reminds me of the relay manga

Durarara Epitome of Eighteen Histories Written along side the release of season 2, we've got some stories involving Kazane Kinomiya, who's the half sister of Shinra, and a reporter. They have all 18 listed there nicely EXCEPT the Erika and Walker Link is a little messed up, and if you search through the posts you can get to it but anyway here's the link to that story specifically

DRRR x Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens Actually I haven't seen HTR or read it so I can't really tell you about this one but if you're into that series--

There's ALSO MiniDura which are little gag comics of the durarara cast in chibis! there should be 4 books as of me writing this. Godspeed on finding translations they seem to be around.... but this post is long and I'm scared of losing it so I'll update later on how many chapters there are so you don't miss any, though I'm seeing up to 10 in my cursory search.

Shizuo, Izaya, and Celty are also in uh.... Dengeki Bunko's fighting Climax, which you might be able to find some stuff on on youtube. but since it's Dengeki Bunko you also have other series... I can only remember A Certain Magical Index / A Certain Scientific Railgun / the other titles in this series as being part of it whoops.

So you've done all that, what do you do next?

Well Narita has other series, like Baccano! which had an anime before DRRR did, which is 16 episodes. Since Funimation lost the license back in like... 2012 it's not officially uh licensed for viewing anywhere, so uh. wink wink. message me if you need more help here.

There's ALSO the novels which... there are so many more than there are for drrr, also available to purchase, though these are hardcovers! Last time I checked they had.... around 20 translated? Since I'm more drrr side I'd have to ask about fan translations and if I can still find them around. But again I don't really condone it since we want more written you know?

Narita also has a couple other series, but the one that's my favorite besides DRRR is Etsusa Bridge (It's pronounced Essa Bridge don't make the same mistake I did. )

And i NEED more people to read that one please please please please

Unfortunately, the person who did the fan translation closed their Blogspot to the public so uh. the first 4 books, and really what is the main story, is available on the internet archive here

Though I'm saying thank you to baka-tsuki for my life by having a page of links here, which includes the 5th book, 5656 part two (NARITA..... I NEED 5656 PART 2 PLEASE...... PLEASE)

and Vamp on the internet archive here and baka-tsuki here

I also know about Hariyama-san but i don't actually know... if anyone translated that one..... Narita has also written for Bleach and Fate Strange/ Fake if you're into those. Straight up just linking this wiki page in case you have any interest in other stuff he's written

And finally! Currently, Dead Mount Death Play (often shortened to DMDP) is a manga written (or co written?) by Narita! which is currently getting an anime and all of his attention.

All that being said I've been really into Trigun lately lmao

Anyone else feel free to add on or tell me what I may be missing

Introduction

This is where I, Rat, will be posting whatever it is that my weird little mind concocts. I am 26 and NB (male pronouns are fine because used to it irl). I am pretty reclusive generally ( I can interact, it is just draining so I tend to avoid).

I am an art dilettante which is my snooty ass way of saying I like to practice a bunch of different artforms that I suck at. I was thinking it might be cool to start keeping a record of some of the things I create, so here we are. This may be dream journals, short stories, poems, sketches, music, photos or crafts (including but not limited to).

Realistically, will anyone want to see it? Probably not, but that isn't really the point. Moreso, it is to hold myself accountable for continuing to be creative, going out of my comfort zone by doing shit in "public" and maybe socialize... a little bit.

Zdzislaw Beksinski is the painter for the profile pic if anyone is wondering. I recommend checking him out if slightly grotesque art is up your alley.

DNI list is empty. if someone wants to interact, you are initially welcome. I will let you know if I dislike you and am done interacting.

Things I like/love that I included waay to much of because it is hard to pick. Nobody should have any reason to read any of the rest of this, I went overboard.

Food: Thai anything, Indian anything, Hawaiian anything (except poi), Burritos/Mole/Posole/tamales, Udon/Ramen/Sushi/Katsu, Italian anything, Pho, Chinese dumpies and cheap takeout, Italian beef (from Chitown, not italy), Pastrami, gRilLed cHEeSe, Mac N Cheese... god I love food.

Video games: Pokemon, Total War Warhammer, Elden Ring, Dead By Daylight, Kenshi, Stardew Valley, Slay the Spire, Heroes of Might and Magic, Diablo, Elder Scrolls, XCOM ... etc.

Lin from Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens

[queerlyhalloween]

Hakata tonkatsu ramens! Is the name of the anime

Hmmm.... tonkatsu ramen, a dish best served alongside torturing an animal abuser ✌

Cheers 😎

[tracingdreams]

What Daiya has done to me.

This past weekend I re-watched Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens. It’s pretty violent in places but I really still love it, largely because of the chemistry between Lin and Banba, and I probably do genuinely mean chemistry here. And the fact it’s completely off the wall in pretty much all regards.

If you ignore the fact almost everyone is an assassin and that killing thugs from underworld gangs seems to be absolutely a-ok with the police force in the city...and that it’s all really a bit horrible...it’s a pretty good series.

But the reason I mention it in line with Daiya is that for some random reason the characters in HTR all play baseball. That’s the name of their team. Hakata Tonkatsu Ramens. And the other night I found myself not only noticing for the first time how every ep is named after something baseball related, but that Lin is a seriously awful choice for shortstop xD.

I think I appreciated it all the more for understanding the nuances of the game. And that’s thanks to Daiya. 

[jsdhwdmax56]

Before meeting the ramens: he literally can't buy his own clothes (because of his debts) so he have to settle on getting spoils for everytime he kills someone.

After: He can now buy anything he wants, it was even stated that even he thinks he bought too much that one time.
