Do you read sports manga I try to read blue lock and it so corny lol I couldn’t take the dialogues seriously at all but I have this love and hate with the genre but the longer they run the worse it gets like kuroko became super saiyan basketball player and it worse when they introduced foreign players it cause my eyes start twitching cause I know I’m going to be annoyed not because there boring but the stereotypes
Anon, as a matter of fact I generally don’t like (or at least don’t seek out) sports anime, but I have some exceptions - though if you ask me many of them don’t fit the English-speaker understanding of what “sports” anime means. Anyway, these are the ones I will stand by:
Yuri on Ice
Megalo Box (this one gets a little tired and cheesy in its drama over time but it keeps the sensibility of a classic underdog sports film. Makes sense, since it’s a spiritual remake of Ashita no Joe)
March Comes in Like a Lion/Sangetsu no Lion (one of my favorites, honestly)
Sk8 the Infinity (not my most favoritest or anything, but I did enjoy it and absolutely love Adam’s over-the-top-about-everything energy.)
If one is going to do a wild and wacky sports anime, it’s best they own it from the get-go, I think, rather than fall over itself to incorporate more and more without a clear direction. But then again, that’s my opinion of most shonen, so…

Animes I think the Obey Me characters would like
Lucifer
Madoka Magica
Ancient Magus Bride
Howl's Moving Castle
Your Name
Your Lie in April
Your Name
To Your Eternity
Bungou Stray Dogs
Cowboy Bebop
91 Days
Death Parade
Promised Neverland
Lucifer enjoys aesthetically pleasing animes, with good soundtracks. He also likes animes that get dark, like Madoka Magica, and period pieces like 91 Days.
Mammon
Kakegurui
Baccano!
Black Clover
Fairy Tail
One Punch Man
Dragonball (any variation)
Naruto
One Piece
Pokemon
My Hero Academia
Hunter x Hunter
Hetalia
Dragon Pilot
Mammon would like lighthearted animes, gambling animes and shounen animes. He seems like the type to enjoy a good shounen fight scene, and was the kid who tried to go super saiyan.
Leviathan
Pokemon
One Piece
One Punch Man
Tokyo Mew Mew
Pretty Cure
Cutie Honey
Little Witch Academia
That Time I Reincarnated as a Slime
Is it Wrong to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon
Sword Art Online
Blue Exorcist
Cowboy Bebop
Evangelion
Neon Genesis: Evangalion
No Game, No Life
Madoka Magica
Bleach
Cells at Work!
Eromanga Sensei
Ms Koboyashi's Dragon Maid
Keijo
There's way too many to list for Leviathan, he'd probably watch any and all animes tbh, a jack of all trades
Satan
Bungou Stray Dogs
91 Days
Ancient Magus Bride
Hellsing Ultimate
Death Parade
Death Note
Devilman Crybaby
Berserk
Another
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Mononoke
Promised Neverland
Satan would like animes with a forseeable end, or ones that have already ended. He wouldn't be into the seemingly endless shounen, but ones more in depth with story. He also loves pretty visuals. I also feel like he'd enjoy some classic blood and gore here and there
Asmodeus
Ouran High School Host Club
Citrus
Given
Yarichin Bitch Club
Ao Haru Ride
My Love Story
Yuri on Ice
Love Stage
Hanebado
Junjo Romantica
Banana Fish
DAKAICHI
Doukyusei
Orange
Black Butler
Romance anime and Hentai. Also slice of life. It just makes sense, dude, idk
Beelzebub
Haikyuu
Food Wars
Ace of Diamonds
Kuroko no Basket
Ancient Magus Bride
My Love Story
My Little Monster
Banananya
Megalobox
Brand New Animal
Beastars
Baki
Canon Busters
Dorohedoro
Beelzebub would love food and sports based animes, obviously, but I think he'd have fun with Beastars, BNA and Dorohedoro
Belphegor
Ancient Magus Bride
To Your Eternity
Your Name
Children Who Chase Lost Voices
Howl's Moving Castle
Spirited Away
Weathering With You
Princess Mononoke
Mononoke
Cowboy Bebop
Another lad who likes aesthetics. My mans looks at stars any chance he gets, he LOVES a good night sky background in anime. He also would fall asleep in the middle of a show, so he prefers movies or short series. He rocks with Cowboy Bebop tho.
#obey me shitpost#obey me scenarios#obey me hc#obey me asmodeus#obey me imagines#obey me beelzebub#obey me mammon#obey me shall we date#obey me lucifer#obey me leviathan#obey me satan#obey me belphegor#obey me headcanons#sockwrites

May 2021, Kageki, Ayaki Hikari’s “e to bun” translation - or - the one with all the Capulet Information
Okay here it is the Capulet version of Akachan’s e to bun column. Again blah, blah, this is a fun and casual translation (I also did this one like... particularly quickly and on 0 braincells this week so apologies for any typos that hopefully aren’t there!) also please don’t share it taking it as your own translation etc etc. Anyway please enjoy this new information on the Capulets! I’ll be sure to post the third and final edition next month whenever it is available to me. Also, later this month, I will be posting a translation of Hoshigumi’s Romeo and Juliet (2021) backstage talk from this same issue of Kageki!
The Situation in Verona, As I Reveal It - Ayaki Hikari
(title credited to: Iroha Reo)
Hello to all the readers of Kageki. It’s Ayaki, playing the role of Count Paris in “Romeo and Juliet” for the A Cast. This month, I would like to introduce everyone in the Capulet family and ask them the following questions:
(1) Name, (2) Family structure, (3) Is there someone they love? (4) Their favorite point.
I hope you enjoy comparing these answers with last month’s issue.
Otoha Minori: (1) Rebecca (and I like the meaning of the name) (2) Soubu Sakiho is my cousin. But he is like a little brother. (3) I love the whole Capulet family. But I really love Tybalt. (4) I live my life as Rebecca of the Capulets and am very particular about everything in my work. I have a different hairstyle for both A and B schedules so I hope you can see them!
Ooki Makoto: (1) Tigre (2) My sister, from another father, is Murasaki Rira (3) I love my sister the most (4) I’m sure you’ll be able to understand my absolute love and loyalty to my family. It’s not Tybalt’s fault, it’s all Romeo’s fault.
Hiroka Yuu: (1) Leonardo (2) From A Cast, Nijou Hana is my younger sister. From B Cast Mizuno Yuri is my sister. (3) My future love?! Montague Otosaki Itsuki (4) Leonardo means “daring lion” in Italian, so I made my hair blonde and stand up! I hope you can see the sadness I am feeling when I fight with Otosaki in front of the stage.
Murasaki Rira: (1) Sirena (from Sirens in Greek mythology) and I’m 19 years old (2) Half-brother is Ooki Makoto (3) Her brother is her love (4) The Sirens seduce people with their singing voices and lead them to their doom, but I want to do that with my dancing. I want to look different in front of Tybalt and the other Capulets during numbers like during the duel. I believe that a Capulet girl should be more feminine than a Montague girl. So I am conscious of my feminine power on a daily basis.
Toudou Jun: (1) Theo (meaning God’s gift) (3) I have a crush on Miono Saki (4) I am very particular about my hairstyle!
Iroha Reo: (1) Squalo (3) I have a crush on Otoha Minori… (4) My name means “shark,” so I will try to stay sharp every day! Miono Saki: (1) Marta (2) I am an orphan and a childhood friend of Ouri Mao (3) Tybalt (4) I have cut off a lot of my hair for this.
Amaki Homare: (1) Basiglio (nickname Rose) (2) I am the twin of Soubu Sakiho (3) Ouri Mao and I are together and are being targeted by the Montague Minato Rihi (4) Look at my Super Saiyan-like haircut and my high speed turns!
Soubu Sakiho: (1) Mario (2) Otoha Minori is my cousin (3) I like all the girls. My favorite is Murasaki Rira. I’m not aware of my cousin’s love for anyone. (4) You should look for my lift of Hanayuki Rira!
Nanase Miki: (1) Bianca (2) Ouri Mao and I are sisters but I’m older (3) I am always running after Iroha Reo! But, of course, I love all the Capulets! (4) The moment Tybalt is stabbed, I’m trying to make the best scream to keep it realistic.
Ouri Mao: (1) Kiki (2) I am childhood friends with Miono Saki and Nanase Miki is my sister. (3) Amaki Homare (4) What I am interested in is interactions with otokoyaku! I am hoping to produce different results in both A and B patterns.
Akashi Reima (B Cast): (1) Roy (2) Yuuhi Maki is my younger brother, but we aren’t very close. (3) I like Ayazono Hina but she’s too fickle for me. (4) I’m not quick to fight, but I’m overbearing. And I take my hatred out on the Montagues.
Sakuraba Mai (A Cast): (1) Violet (2) I’m a loner with a free spirit (3) I’ll leave that to your imagination (4) I have long black hair and am trying to make my make-up shine.
Nijou Hana (A Cast): (1) Amanda (2) Hiroka Yuu is my brother (3) Sayaka Rin (4) I made my own hair mesh for the first time.
Sayaka Rin (A Cast): (1) Angelo (2) My cousin is Sakishiro Kei, like a younger brother. I am a close blood relative to Tybalt. (3) Sakuraba Mai loves me and thinks she is my girlfriend and Nijou Hana is my fiancee. (4) I love the multifaceted nature of each situation and the hidden true feelings behind everyone’s eyes.
Yuuhi Maki (B Cast): (1) Sol (meaning “sun”) (2) Childhood friends with Ayazono Hina (3) I like Juliet! I’m trying my best to be a man like Tybalt.
Ayazono Hina (B Cast): (1) Hayna (2) Sumika Amane is my sister (3) I am in love with a lot of people including Akashi Reima. I am a childhood friend of Yuuhi Maki and support his love. (4) I have a younger sister, so I’m trying to make her feel important! Sakishiro Kei (A Cast): (1) Thomas (2) Sayaka Rin is my cousin (3) Juliet (4) I have sharp bangs! Miyako Yuuna (A Cast): (1) Kianna (2) I’ve taken the liberty of setting myself as Tybalt’s younger sister. But I let him know already (laughs) (4) I am 15 years old, younger than Juliet! I am a cheerful girl that is full of energy!
Sumika Amane (B Cast): (1) Chiara (to mean “clear”) (2) Ayazono Hina is my sister (3) I like all men except Montague men (4) This is my favorite play.
Mizuno Yuri (B Cast): (1) Sophie (2) Hiroka Yuu’s younger sister (3) Count Paris (4) I am doing my best to be a Capulet woman who is strong, big-hearted, and cute! Please take a look!
There are only a few performances left! So if you can’t make it to the theatre to watch the play, please watch it on video to see how much everyone cares for their roles!

Medea’s Anime & Game Superlative of 2017
Time to do the annual list I do once a year acknowledging the anime and games I played this year. So that means if an anime came out in like...1979, as long as I watched it this year, it counts for my list. Let’s get started! First Fandom of 2017: Blue Exorcist: Kyoto Saga I started Blue Exorcist back in 2013 and fell in love with the story instantly. However, I often wondered what came after the whole finally confronting Satan story of the anime. Don’t spoil it for me, I’m not caught up with the manga yet. So when they announced this anime was going to come back, I was all ready to watch Rin and Yukio in action. Despite the many reservations I had with this particular season, I was so excited for this season early this year and couldn’t wait for the latest episode to air each week. I am satisfied to hear back-stories from some of the minor characters like Bon, Shima, and Konekomaru. And of course any moment when Rin is about to punch someone in the face is always satisfying to watch! Rin grows quite a bit in this season so this season wasn't a complete waste. Plus Bryce Papenbrook slays it as Rin and we get another awesome song by UVERworld. Favorite Main Character of 2017: Oscar François de Jarjeyes (Rose of Versailles)
As I mentioned in my superlative list last year, Rose of Versailles was an anime I didn’t expect to get into, but enjoyed nevertheless. And as I continued watching this year, I was severely hooked on the main character, Oscar. I know Oscar is indeed a fictional character in a story that’s based on actual history. Which makes me wonder if history would be any different if Oscar truly existed? I felt for this woman, especially in those last 10 episodes of the series. Oscar is one of the toughest females in anime history with her attacks during the French Revolution and the turmoil she went through in her love life. I was rooting for her to succeed throughout the entire series. All the way up to standing up against the French Army, she does it all! Favorite Villain of 2017: Frieza (Dragon Ball Super) Why do I love the biggest assholes in the Dragon Ball series? I don’t know. Out of all the villains in this series, Frieza was my favorite. Despite during the Z series where it literally takes him around 10 episodes to try and blow up a simple planet! With Dragon Ball Super, he’s still pure evil! He ends up resurrected more than once (thanks a lot Goku). However, I really wish that he would have gotten more of an evil streak during this Universe Competition saga. I know he can’t kill anybody or he’d be disqualified, but he could do a little more other than just stand on a pirch and laugh at the pitiful fighters. But when he’s fighting the Saiyans (including other universe Saiyans like Cabba), he’s ruthless! Anyone else hoping to see him take on Jiren in the coming episodes? Favorite Video Game Character of 2017: Lillie (Pokemon Ultra Moon) Lillie, you’ve done it again! And you are THIS close to becoming my favorite in the anime (except I’m still a Lana fangirl). With the Ultra Sun/Moon games, Lillie definitely shows hutzpah in her actions. She goes to great lengths in order to save the pokemon Cosmog and would even go through dangerous situations in order to save her own mother (who verbally disowned her). What’s even better with these new games is that in the post-game, Lillie actually battles with a pokemon. AND IT’S FROM THE CLEFABLE LINE! Lillie actually battles alongside you with a Clefairy. If it means I get to fight against that genital wart, Faba with this little lady by my side, I am very satisfied! This is awesome! I’m glad we get this extra bit in these games since the previous version had Lillie traveling and we don’t see her after defeating the league. Favorite Game of 2017: Miitopia …It’s my own fault for getting hooked on Tomodachi Life back in 2014. Ever since then, I’ve been having so much fun with these Mii games. And Miitopia was no exception! Guys, it was either this game or one of the Freemium games the Japanese throw my way. But since I don't feel like getting into Idol Hell with Love Live, I'm going with the miis again. As for this game, I got to add my favorite characters of anime (like Tracey Sketchit), favorite characters on sitcoms, favorite celebrities, and all sorts of others to fight an evil Dark Lord. Better yet, this game doesn’t care in terms of gender. You can be a boy character and be a princess. You can make two men lovers! Plus browsing through all the miis there are was amusing. I can’t tell you how many Guy Fieri’s and Rick Sanchez’s I’ve seen come through my game. Plus, I had a lot of fun trying to kill Donald Trump and Celine Dion. These are the people I despise, deal with it. The one downside was having your face stolen and having it put on something absurd like a rock, a mouse, or a turkey’s ASS! WHY WOULD YOU ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN?! Favorite Het Couple of 2017: Takeo Gouda x Rinko Yamato (My Love Story) THIS WAS SO ADORABLE! These two, together, the cutest fucking thing I’ve ever seen! I can’t believe it has taken me so long to watch this series. So this series revolves around a very, very, very, if the mother wasn't a former pro-wrestler, she would have split in half giving birth to him large high school freshman named Takeo falling in love with this petite girl named Yamato. I was amazed to find that they both confessed their feelings for each other so early in the series. And then have the rest of the series dedicated to their relationship blossoming! I know they’re only high school students, but seeing them do the simplest of things like holding hands or going on a date is downright adorable to see them do. Yamato sees past Takeo’s large exterior and sees that he is a sweet boy. I want this couple to thrive well into old age! Long live this ship! Favorite Yuri Couple of 2017: Ymir x Christa/Historia (Attack on Titan: Season 2) This year there were several Yuri couples that caught my eye (including couples from Love Live and Miss Kobayashi). But the one that stood out the most came from Attack on Titan’s second season. In the first season, I really never paid attention to Ymir x Christa. I think I was busy screaming out, “HOLY SHIT, THOSE ARE SOME FUCKED UP LOOKING TITANS!” When the chibi middle school spin-off came along, they laid it on kinda thick, especially on Ymir’s end. But this season is where it all came out. Particularly in the episode Historia! In this episode, we get a touching flashback of the two girls surviving in the harsh winter climate. Ymir did a lot in order to protect Christa, even exposing her giant secret. Both girls cared about each other enough so to confide in each other their dark secrets. I know this ship might die down when season 3 airs next July, but as for this season, we got plenty of this, and I couldn’t be any happier. Favorite Yaoi Couple of 2017: Grell Sutcliff x Sebastian Michaelis (Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic) Here I am again with this one-sided ship. Call it a long-time guilty pleasure. Okay, I’ll be honest. I didn’t watch that many anime this year where I was enthralled with two boys. Not like last year when Yuri on Ice aired! I almost gave a pity throwaway to Ash x Kiawe from Pokemon: Sun & Moon. But one thing I do remember and liked was when I went to the screening of Black Butler’s Book of the Atlantic. Because with Black Butler, you never know when a certain reaper in red is going to come swinging a chainsaw! And as I said before, this ship is heavily one-sided as Grell always wants Sebastian (either to make love to him or kill him…or both) and Sebastian finds him annoying and dodges his advances. But my fangirly heart still loves this ship. Besides, this isn’t the first time I’ve put this ship on my superlative list. Not even a boat-load of zombies can keep Grell away from his Sebas-chan! Eight years later and I still squeal anytime I see that! Fandom That You Didn’t Expect To Get Into: Sakura Quest In April this year, I picked a completely random anime that was brand new to start. I had no idea what it was about, I just jumped right into it. And what I found was a quaint story about a young girl who becomes queen of a very rural town. There are many fine animes that delve into the concept of living in a small, rural town and the colorful characters that live there. And honestly, I’m just glad that it didn’t end up with the people murdering each other (like Shiki or Higurashi). Instead, we get the main character Yoshino take part as the role of queen of the small kingdom. And with the help of four other girls from the town, they were able to bring life into their little town. I enjoyed many of these characters and fell in love with many of their back-stories. From Maki striving to be an actress to Ririko breaking out of her shell! Kadota wanting to make-up for his past mistakes he made in his youth, to Yoshino deciding on her future! Even though Yoshino wasn't too fond of the small village scene, she quickly adapted and learned that small towns like Manoyama can be just as fulfilling as big cities like Tokyo. Fandom That Made An Unexpected Comeback: Attack on Titan *singing incoherent Japanese gibberish* YEAGER! I didn’t think I was going to get into the Attack on Titan hype train this year as big as I did. Especially since it’s been 4 years since the previous season aired. Buckle up bitches! Despite this being only 12 episodes, this season was truly memorable and gave us MANY, MANY, MANY revelations. However most of that was from minor characters. Now this season did come with some irritating things. Like Levi and Jean being pushed to the side. Eren is like a hostage for what feels like half the season. And Mikasa turned into so much of a yandere, I think Yuno Gasai pissed herself. But aside from my nitpicky things, I really enjoyed this season of Attack on Titan. Not just with this season, but catching up with the manga as well. Because I’m not waiting until 2018 to learn about giant monkey man titan! Add to that, a bomb-ass opening theme by Linked Horizon, Eren fighting the armored and colossal titan, and Ymir x Christa, this was one hell of a season. Can’t wait for July 2018! Fandom That Inspired the Most Crack: Miss Kobayashi’s Maid Dragon This is something I’m currently watching…and boy is it crazy! I almost gave it to Mr. Osomatsu again, but then I see busty dragon ladies! Imagine if you will, opening your front door and finding a humungus dragon standing at your door step. You are either in an anime, stoned off your ass, still drunk, or this is just a dream. Well in this case it’s an anime…and Miss Kobayashi might have been hungover when she met Tohru. And because it’s an anime, why not have this dragon transform into a busty girl? Thanks Japan! And living with Tohru and the rest of the dragons is anything but simple. Since Tohru is going to be Kobayashi’s maid, she’ll have to cook (by she’s going to cut off her tail and cook it for her master), clean (by licking Kobayashi’s clothes with her tongue), and protect the home from intruders (by blowing any and all intruders to oblivion). Yeah, this anime is wacky with not only Tohru, but the other mythical creatures like Kanna, Fafnir, Elma, and one of animes BIGGEST PAIRS OF TITS I’VE EVER SEEN Lucoa. Last Fandom of 2017: Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma: The Third Plate The third season of Food Wars is by far the BEST thing to air for Fall 2017 animes. Not just I think so, but friends and co-workers of mine agree. Fans of the show were finally treated to meeting rest of Totsuki Academy’s Elite Ten. Not only that, but learn a great deal of one of this anime’s most hated characters (as to why we hate her). As Totsuki is drenched in tradition, we see this tradition break by an uprising as an exiled member of Totsuki emerges and ends up taking over the academy. This leading to mass changes in curriculum with the students and the Shokugeki in danger of no longer existing! To which Soma Yukihira says, “Hold my beer. It’s time to cook.” Okay, he doesn’t exactly say that, but he definitely takes on the establishment (including several Elite Ten members) in order to protect his friends and colleagues of the school. And let’s not forget what this show also contains! FOOD ORGASMS! I will admit that the later seasons have toned down a bit on the food orgasms that’s shown. But when it does happen, it’s almost other-worldly due to who’s cooking the food. I would love to eat any of that food that they cook on this show…I just don’t want my clothes to rip off me while the food molests me both ways.

“Hi everyone, I’m Levy! I’m just such an angel and I like books! Due to this love of literature, you probably shipped me with Lucy up until Gajeel decided to become a recurring character. But still, I was probably in one of your first yuri ships.
Also, by the way, I give all the fucks, but none of them at the same time. In fact, it’s kind of terrifying.
Like, remember that one time during the fight festival arc that Gajeel (
AW FUCK MAN WHAT DO WE DO LAXUS LOOKS LIKE SOMEONE SHOVED A HOSE UP HIS BUTTHOLE AND BEGAN PUMPING AIR IN IT WHAT IS HAPPENING
and I was like
“fam ur granddad is like, not ok right now. could you maybe chill?”
I, Levy McGarden, stone cold don’t give a fuck, unless it’s about people I love. In which, all are given. I mean, do you think I gave a fuck that Laxus was going Super Saiyan 2 over there with collateral damage protag and guy whose hair makes cosplayers tilt their heads in sheer confusion and frustration (have fun telling them apart, idiots)? No. I didn’t.
I also don’t care that Fish isn’t using mostly caps for this. Because I also don’t care, I have people to be like, kind to and shit?
Also friendly reminder my magic is pretty great. If only I could solid script Juvia a body pillow of Prince Sidon or something, despite how fourth-wall breaking that’d be. Man, if I did that, I’d be such a good friend.”

Retsu murders a man
Okay yeah i used urban dictionary Retsu is literally smurfing
My god i didn't notice Yuji was eating steak with chips, it's not that odd here (literally ate that today) but for a restaurant that level it feels so silly ksgsksgw
Chapter 202
KSHSKSGSGW obsessed with how sad Strydum looks is he Yujiro's new wife or something lmao? (Sorry is that too mean? Not gonna diss my old man like that again)
That's quite literally the best expression mfs in this franchise do
Baki confirmed freak and weirdo

Retsu fucking snaps
How tall are these people? Like i know Retsu isn't that tall but like you know
King shit, I'm gonna also restrain from making nsfw jokes out of respect
Chapter 206
I don't remember many Retsu's fights he's that memorable but yeah after 4000 years of Chinese martial arts this is NOTHING, he punches rocks in shape ffs!
Pog!
Retsu stop being so modest, you were an insuferable xenophobic bitch, let others enable you a lil bit, you deserve it <3
Mf couldn't care less bout money my man wants to KILL
I unironically love Retsu doing all of this for no apparent reason
Chapter 207

Kudos for being able to run with sandals that well too
Oh yeah obligatory joestar secret technique joke
Chapter 209
HEHE HUBBY IN THE COVER 👀
There is something so fucking funny about this i can't describe it but just seeing it makes me laugh
HE'S NOT THAT OLD YALL STOPPP
Okay honestly a guy like Doppo irl would be so terrifying in the cool way like pretty damn buff, nice clothes, a fucking eyepatch, dark sunglasses at night, face covered in scars... Also claims to be a martial arts master
HOHO A WORTHY OPPONENT IT SEEMS...
Super curious over how true that is
Chapter 210
Baki please that's a nasty ass cockroach
There's an animal planet program who breaks down all this shit btw, not bugs but every tiny animal, it's fun
"Baki Kafka" obsessed
Obsessed with the person who just wants to dab in front of Baki then leave, just to see his reaction
Okay I'm done reading so some final thoughts to wrap it up: i honestly think it's mad funny how both Doppo and Gouki just, walk around at night looking to pick up fights with random people. Like i get they are warriors and whatnot but ksgsksgsksh, tbf it MUST be quite boring, Doppo quit the dojo and Gouki... No Gouki still trains the police, he has no excuse! But anyway point is these men are so much of the same i love these idiots lmao
Done reading, going to sleep <3
I did my homework and i did my chores, time to tackle on the third book of this series, Son of Ogre
Chapter 1
Okay but the fuck is Baki planning to do if he stops fighting? That's literally all he has, he's not smart
WOOH THATS A BIT REALISTIC
PREHISTORIC ELEPHANT?!
King just went to have a snack. Also FUCK does that meat look tasty FUCKKK
This baby so cute 🥺
I'm so glad Yuji is doing stupid hilarious shit again it had been a while
Congrats on Baki for that mantis
Chapter 2
Who tf is this kid?
Poor kid lmao, i assume he will meet Baki
Look at my boyyy
HSTSRFAYDF DON'T CALL HIM A MANLET
Imagine Baki actually kills this kid HSJDYSSHCBT
Third comment with a ton of likes is "we do not condone child violence. We do, however, find it hilarious"
Chapter 3
AH SHUT UPPP KIDDO
But i like Baki memeing a round a lil
Chapter 4
🥺🥺 that's so sweet...
HELLOOOO STRYDUM MY GOD YOUR TITS GOT FATTER SIR 😳😳
Yujiro is such a fucking threat to society lmao
I love seeing Baki with his eyes open, he's looking more like his old self
Oh, shadow boxing incoming, alright
Chapter 5
Yuri? 🥺 /j
THE RETURN OF IRON MICHAEL?!
Chapter 6
I love how there's our silly little mains after every cover LUV em <33
Baki just dissociating his ass out and using it on his favor, the king
Why is Baki eating sour prunes aren't those meant to be sweet?
We all salivating
Chapter 7
Love to see there are even more swears there now
I can put my face next to my foot too tho
FAGDRJSEHARD YUJIRO CAN BEAT THE CANCER HOW ICONIC 😍
Also i would LOVE to see Yuji fight an Orca
WHAT?!
I love how everyone in the comments is calling out Rumina for not seeing issue going down to a dark hidden basement with a shirtless man older than him
Chapter 8
"piggy back me" USHSYFLFUDSY
This fight is going to be good
Chapter 9
Imagine Baki dies right here right know against an imaginary mantis lmao
Okay Baki getting damaged makes sense but the WALL?
Baki's dead (GOD IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HAVE SAID THAT)
Ffs it's true Baki COULD create himself a stand 😰
Chapter 10
OH FUCK IT'S TRUE
Chapter 11
This fight is so boring i had to take a 6 hour break
Baki just can't win against nature eh
This reminds me of Garland pulling a suplex on that Anaconda
Chapter 12
I can't wait for the main cast to ACTUALLY appear, instead of just, you know, them in the covers
This fight is slow but cool but slow
To fight a mantis you must think like a mantis 😎
Though it's true in this manga you will most likely win if you steal your opponent techniques so
Chapter 13
I MISS IGARI FUCKKK
This is so dumb i luv it
That mantis be swearing lmao
Love it when Baki goes full Yujiro
Chapter 14
TOBA...
Holy fuck do mantis fly?
Secret Chapter?
Is this how Yujiro got born?

I'm sure there were better ways to go to jail, well, actually, no, but still
Toba used to just chew that off
Baki did that mantis hit you in the head too hard?
I. I watched way too many prison movies and shows. I don't like seeing someone as young and pretty as Baki in such a place. I rlly don't.
Chapter 19

Pendejo is more used as pibe here but i will let it pass bc idk the lingo in Cuba and he spent some time there so
Why don't i speak like this too ffs? All i do is say eh and call it a day
He's cocky enough to call anybody any age pibe so I'll let that pass too
Por favor no lo hagas che sksgwj
Chapter 21
Che, pibe, it's a good day to die...
Chapter 22
GSHAGSTSG he should have said "no boludo"
I'm falling in love with this boludo myself
That's talented and brutal
OH RIGHT YOU LOSE YOUR BALANCE WHEN YOU DONT HAVE THAT
Chapter 23
Hm that's, cringe
YESSS HE SAID PELOTUDO
OAHWLGWKQFSKSGSJS SIII ROMPELO TODO CHE, ROMPELO TODO POR DECIRTE YANKEE KSGSSJGS
Honestly i too get pissed off when called American or European, though i won't throw shit to Baki, he's some random 18 yo japanese boy, no way he would recognize latinoamerican lingo lmao
King shit Baki boy
Chapter 24
Oh that's why he's called Jun Guevara, that's fair
I like how they are mixing a bit of truth and a bit of lie it's fun at least
Chapter 25
I like how they are drawing nipples now, occasionally
I can't wait for Viêt to complain about propaganda in the comments

Chapter 28
I feel like Ian will die
Man i love how Baki is drawn in this book
Ffs i called it, i have watched way too many prison things to know how shit goes down

Chapter 29
Their faces remind me of Doyle
OH I CANT WAIT TO SEE EM IN THE ANIME
ASSHOLE DON'T CALL ME STUPID 😢💔
I'm gonna struggle to tell em apart but i think I'll manage
Okay I'm not the only one who thinks they look like Doyle, fair
Chapter 30
The mouth vs Yujiro when?
Someone mentioned the have the same vibe as the dudes that worked with Gaia and like 👁️👁️
Chapter 31
Lmao someone in the comments recommended the same thing
These three must be great at sex (sorry)
KSHALDHDKD NEW FAV COMMENT: "go to Japan and look for the word "defeat". That way you won't feel cocky anymore"
Chapter 32
Hehe hello Junnn~
KSHAKDHKWGS
La luna
Chapter 33
LOS TRES...
Okay that's funny, hocico instead of mouth (hocico is used for animal mouths)
I'm so glad i know Spanish
The two things that drive me insane and make me ramble are Doppo's beauty and this stupid argentinian
OSHSKWGSKSG

Imagine he's doing that illusion thing Dorian did
With his own blood, that's so cool...

Mun Facts
Repost, not reblog! Tag 6 muns you would like to get to know better when done!
Name: Mary Nickname: Shibe, Mynu, anything really. Age: Ancient. Faceclaim: A Shiba usually? Pronouns: Call me dude, I don’t give a damn lmao. Height: 5′1 (comment on how short I am and you will be walking on your knees) Birthday: Sept. 5th Aesthetic: Anything pastel colors usually, space, flowers, nature, and stuff mixed up. I am not too picky on it.
Last song you listened to Fly Away - Sheppard (the song remind me of Shiro ok?)
Favourite muse(s) you’ve written: Zidane Tribal, Future Trunks, Present Trunks, Son Goten, Edward Elric, Yuri Plisetsly, Otabek Altin, Takashi Shirogane, Amy Rose, Pharaoh Atem, Yuugi Mutou, Draco Malfoy, Axl, And uh.... that’s it I think?
What inspired you to take on your current muse (that you are posting this on): To try something new, I usually go for soft boys, generally, even if you can say Ed and Zidane are anything but soft but they aren’t complete without manners, not to say Yuri doesn’t but - I feel like he curses a lot XD and gets angry easily. I thought Trunks had anger issues being a saiyan hybrid but ha!
That and I never done muses like him... quite before.
What are your favorite aspects of your current muse: Despite his anger, Yuri is very sensitive, if you talk shit over people he genuinely likes you are on his shit list, I feel like a lot of people tend to over look it. Yuri talks bad yeah about EVERYONE, he won’t go soft just because he LIKES you, but that’s why I like him. He acts tough, even if he isn’t really ALL that soft, he has his moments. I think that’s my favorite part?
The second is never giving up, even though people talk shit likely about him, he never once glances their way. I wish I could say the same... I wish I could feel confident about my writing and my drawing skills as much as he has on the ice, I wish I felt comfortable in my own skin like he does! Sometimes logging into Yuri gives me that fake sense of confidence, because like I said before Yuri doesn’t give me a chance to moan or whine about myself. Depression does not exist when he is around, so that’s probably around reason I stuck around this long.
He makes me feel good about myself.
What’s your biggest inspiration when it comes to writing: Music? I don’t know, am I suppose to pick some writer? Or something? I mean everyone who I interact with me gives me muse, but if I am going to start a blog usually see me listening to a lot of music and re-watching the series also helps a lot, especially in a time of downtime so. Probably a choice between the two?
Favourite types of threads: Comedy, I know it seems like such a lame thing. Most people pick angst, or shipping or anything else between but I am a woman who loves to laugh. I get more inspiration being HAPPY, laughing than I do writing anything else. My real life is depressing enough, it doesn’t HELP suffering from depression. So only way I combat it is by comedy.
Funny I share the same as Robin William did. You are depressed? Smile and Laugh, don’t let it show or let it slow you down.
The biggest struggle in regards to your current muse: He is often shown as too angry? I don’t know, I feel like I make him far too angry, and while I do have my moments in which he shows his tender side, I feel like I don’t do them enough. Sorry, he is very hostile, he is likely not everyone number one pick when you think of Yuri as a RPer but to me, there is an appeal in being angry in a way, plus I try to mix my own personal experience with him.
I try to remember what it was like to be that age, what it was liked to be looked down by someone older than you, that’s why I get defensive at times and it shows when I write Yuri. I don’t like... being step on but at the same time I am weak, I am a people pleaser and that’s my number one mistake. But over all, I feel like I am slowly getting a grasp on him.
I will never be anyone favorite but ha!
Tagged by: @lebenfxrseis (thanks!) Tagging: Who hasn’t done this yet? This is my invitation to do it.

Chapter 1
Visual Novels (Part 1)
Anime Weekend Atlanta (AWA) left me starving. Starving for more. More networking opportunity. More ways to get my name out there. More ways to improve myself. On the final day of the convention, my crew and I went to smoke a blunt on our hotel’s garage parking rooftop before leaving our city for an eight-hour trip back home to St. Louis. As we smoked, we spoke about our successes and “failures”. Wins and losses. Triumphs and disappointments. Out of my team, I had the most wins; since I set my sights to hit the majority of my goals (such as making money bartending at a friend’s room party, networking with people within the industry, etc.).
They congratulated me for success and were happy for me. But I wasn’t.
Sure, I hit a few goals. I went out and did what I was supposed to do build my brand. You’re not supposed to be praised for doing your job like everyone else. I wasn’t happy that I didn’t do more. I was disappointed at myself for allowing myself to get sidetracked and play myself. However, these disappointments, combined with my success started to fire me up. Disappointment turned into desire. Desire turned into drive. Drive turned into action and planning.
For once in my life, I was excited to go back home after a vacation. I needed to go back so I could plan out the next year con season, write about my adventures. And of course, work my ass off for the next con season and come back completely dominating it.
Anime Weekend Atlanta left me starving.
On Friday, I went to a panel that caught my attention weeks prior: “Whatever Happened to Visual Novel Anime?”. I have a slight interest in the genre and was wondering why visual novels and anime based on the niche have been on the decline for the past 3-7 years. I went; seeking knowledge from somebody who was much wiser than myself.
The panel started. The host introduced himself, spoke about his passion for visual novels ,and revealed an amazing fact about himself: The panelist – Chris Adamson – is a writer for Anime News Network.
I had to network with him; no matter what.
Note to self: Let the camera autofocus before snapping a pic.
I was in awe by the deep knowledge Chris dropped on us about the history of visual novels anime and why they were not as popular as they were back in the 2000s. The answers were “simple”, yet layered with complex facts. The facts included the following: the lack of effort and innovation from VN creators. Long-time fans losing interest. Animators struggling to add every minor detail form the visual novels into the anime version. There were also the lack of sales of products relating to the anime and visual novels.
Chris broke down every little detail with graphs, pictures, videos, audio, cited sources, sales figures, you name it. He was armed and prepared to attack us with knowledge and education. Clearly, he studied this genre with depth. Clearly, he was passionate about visual novels and wants it to see it recover from its slump.
At the end of the panel, he left the floor open for questions. I shoot my hand up high in the air before anyone else (if you’re ain’t first your last) and asked him this question:
Do you think there will a renaissance of visual novels and anime based on anime, and if they the VN industry does crash, do you see it rising from its ashes?
I’ve since forgotten most of Chris’s reply (thanks to smoking weed all weekend and being an idiot for not recording the panel), but he brought up an interesting point: He does believe that visual novels could come back, thanks to the success of the American visual novel Doki Doki Literature Club (DDLC) with its innovating meta-narrative (he even suggests that a DDLC anime could work through streaming services with Monika going through your watch history, fucking with the audio/video, etc.). Chris also mentioned that with more Americans entering the VN fray that could lead to the niche revival from a Western’s standpoint.
After the panel, I was completely floored and astonished by his wisdom. I had to network with him. Deep down in me, there was a fire building up. The fire of craving more knowledge. There were other guys with me who also had that fire in them. Out of the 20-30 people in attendance, only five of us stay after the panel (to speak with Chris). Two were working on their own visual novels, two were fans of the genre and also hungry for more knowledge, and of course, me; who was moved by this.
As we were finishing talking, a Yuri and Natsuki (DDLC) cosplayers walked past us. We all smiled as we were just talking about DDLC earlier. I smiled even harder; as it got me excited to rock my Monika genderswap cosplay the next morning on Day 3.
And by the next morning, I mean I decided to have shots of rum for breakfast and plotted to wear my “No Coonin’!” shirt to The People of Color (I fucking hate how black people us that term as a black man) Photoshoot in hopes of offending any self-hating Uncle Toms/Coons/Nergo Bed Wench nigga nerds with it at the shoot instead of cosplaying as Monika at the shoot.
Which, said plot was used against me.
Coon train is coming!
I arrived at the shoot. Since it was a multi-media shoot, the host had people take group photos by genre (movies, anime, comics, etc.). Of course, you had cosplayers from comics, video games, and anime. Mainstream shit. However, nobody was cosplaying from any visual novels series (a testament of the decline of interest towards visual novels). I was sad and angry. Sad because there aren’t many Black nerds who are into visual novels. Angry at myself for deciding to (unsuccessfully) troll people with my shirt and not going to the shoot with wearing my Monika cosplay.
This is me being utterly arrogant, but I don’t give a shit: If I would have gone with that Monika cosplay, I would have been the only Black cosplayer in that group doing a visual novel character cosplay. Is Doki Doki Literature Club a normie tier meme visual novel? Yes. But it’s still a visual novel. And I would have earned that honor and respect of doing something out of the norm. A black man. Doing a gendswap cosplay. Of a visual novel character. A piece of media which black people don’t really fuck with.
I could have spoken good game about the visual novel niche and get my fellow Black nerds hip on it. I could have introduced people who never played a VN before into a new world; which in turn could have gotten people into playing them.
But I’m a fucking idiot.
(By the way, there’s going to be more of my arrogance later. Please leave if you’re offended by people having pride in themselves and their passion).

I left the POC shoot and decided to take a few pics inside the convention center. As I’m wandering around I spot a black woman wearing a shrine maiden outfit. Red pants, disconnected sleeves, white top, and purple hair. For a split second, I thought she was cosplaying as the PC98 era Reimu from Touhou (Highly Responsive to Prayers, Lotus Land Story, etc.) and I was smiling from ear-to-ear at the “fact” that there was a black woman cosplaying as the old-school version of Red Sanae.
Upon further inspection, she wasn’t wearing Reimu’s trademark red bow, but rather black horns with cracks in them.
Wait, is she cosplaying as Hanyuu from Higurashi I asked myself.
I poked her on her shoulder and asked. She smiled and I started to geeked out. Somebody still has love for Higurashi and is cosplaying at the con; (to my knowledge) she was the only Higurashi cosplayer at the con. Either way, I was just fucking happy to see somebody cosplay as a character from one of my favorite visual novel anime series.
I took her picture of course and told her that her cosplay was lovely. My only regret is that I didn’t tell her I appreciate her for cosplay as a Higurashi character and that it made me want to do a When They Cry cosplay again (I used to cosplay as Goat Butler from Umineko for a while). I should had left my friends behind and let them go back to the hotel while I chopped up some game with the woman.
It’s funny because days prior to AWA, I had two When They Cry related dreams. The first dream was of me at Anime Weekend Atlanta. I was cosplaying as a genderswap Bernkastel, but I got kicked out from the con for being too drunk (Bernkastel drinks wine and gets drunk so I had to play the role you know even in my dreams), not wearing my badge, and telling con staff that I don’t give a fuck about having a badge.
The second one was of me at Anime Expo. I was wearing a way better version of my Goat Bulter cosplay. As I was walking out and about there was a group of Umineko cosplayers. A Bernkastel cosplayer spotted me and asked if I wanted to join them for a few photos, which I agreed to.
And then I woked up.
The Hanyuu cosplayer.
Back to reality. I marched back to my hotel. I started listening to an interview with Tim Grover (author of Relentless, the trainer of Basketball icons such as Kobe Byrant, Dwayne Wade, and Micheal Jordan). I was trying to think of a plan as I prep for my Monika cosplay. I was overanalyzing and overthinking. I remember in the first chapter of Relentless Grover stated the best don’t think,
They act. On instinct. And let their instincts do the work.
From that thought, I turned off the interview and started to listen to Saiyan Pride from Dragon Ball Super on repeat. The echoing piano notes. The percussion building up to the arrival the horns, strings, and bells. I was entering my Zone. I was inviting my Dark Side to do the work. Tunnel vision and laser focus.
I wasn’t going to allow myself to fuck up further.
I’m going to win. I said to myself.
