Day 6 of Hotsui Matsuri: Japanese Karma- Good Luck/Bad Fortune

Hey all, welcome back to Hotsui Matsuri, it’s our last and final day so we figured we talk a little bit about the funny and ironic use of Good and Bad fortune in anime and Japanese media. One of the basics to this push and pull knowing a few basic facts about Buddhism and its karma. What are the 12 laws of karma? The 12 laws of karma are the Great Law, the law of creation, the law of humility,…

[moss-on-a-pebble]

So I've recently taken an interest to @peathepirate 's Wings!AU and decided to make some doodles/headcanons of my own :)

I completely rawdogged the wing designs so don't come at me 🫡

First of all Franmaya 🫶

I feel like Franziska would hide her wings during the growing period but eventually learns to love them (and uses them to add a lil flare to her objections). Don't think she confronted Maya until after BTTT but Maya is smart enough to put two and two together.

Now some Miego

I feel like Diego would have giant ass wings cuz it just feels right. I'd do a Godot design too but my wrist hurts 😔

Then bonus Narumitsu doodle I'm never gonna finish (Nick isn't stupid enough to do this but it was funny)

Anyway bless this AU I love it so much it's like a gift sent from heaven cuz it's my current fixation together with my special interest (birds)

[le-panda-chocovore]

Sorry but this is hilarious

Is he going to put that on his resume ? Is this what he's answering during job interviews ?

He's so deranged I love him 😭😭😭 Just an antisocial sadistic spice collector with a bit of a sweet tooth lmaooo

When you say you got that dog in you, except when you're actually a dog.

First two images are dog breeds that I feel fit for Phoenix, Miles, Maya and Franziska from Ace Attorney and the rest are more so their canine spirit where only Franziska's is true inside and out XD

(Even when I try to draw something simple to relax I end up making it into another project... ((Originally 5th image was my only original plan for a final piece...))

Phoenix Wright (Akita) (Alt Pomeranian)

-Japanese origin, loyal and courageous, looks adorable but also tough "I will defend my friends!" About same size as Doberman. (Yes his badge is a tennis ball)

Miles Edgeworth (Doberman) (Alt Afghan Hound)

-English origin, fierce yet eloquent looking, ears look like "demon" (prosecutor) horns, can be big softies to close family and friends.

Maya Fey (Japanese Spitz) (Alt Chihuahua)

-Japanese origin, cheerful, playful, intelligent, great companions.

Franziska Von Karma (German Shepherd)

-German origin (relating to American game version) but common with American work force (relating to Japanese game version), in government related work force, trained to be fierce and "perfect" for their job, intimidating, loyal.

You cannot tell me that Simon 'twisted samurai' Blackquill, LA's resident vaguely british man and total weeb with a special interest in swords, would not recognize Karuma on sight. I just imagine that Phoenix has it displayed in his office because of its historical and specifically lawyer-related significance and Blackquill comes in because he lost the rock-paper-scissors match against the other prosecutors to run their errands for the day and he sees that katana and has an autism moment.

There's also the lore behind the von Karma name that makes the idea that Phoenix ends up with the Asogi clan's heirloom very funny to me.

AA localization is something that in most cases enriches characterization, but sometimes the context on the original Japanese script gives something really intriguing as well

We all know Manfred von Karma is a perfectionist, and in almost every his line we are reminded of it. He even set his ATM card number to 0001. So an ummovable object in terms of superiority complex

I like the Japanese version of this moment as well if not more, though. There, Manfred's card number is 4649 which by the rules of Japanese wordplay means yoroshiku or "nice to meet you". He also points that this is not an actual date (thanks). It makes him look like a lot more whimsical guy who just isn't 100% of time serious, which I'd personally take over the "hee hee I'm number 1" thing (because let's be real, it's not that funny and falls a bit flat)

It's a really minor detail, but where else people are gonna pick up some bits about Manfred's personality aside from being a perfectionist asshole? Even for a cartoonish villain MVK is often positioned as it's really interesting to peek into other sides of his personality

August 2024 Ace Attorney Merchandise

Merchandise from the Japanese Capcom Stores that I haven't seen posted on Tumblr yet. All of this artwork is by Takuro Fuse, art director of the Ace Attorney series. Here's an overview of the products which went on sale on August 26th.

I realized something.

Franziska is called Mei Karuma in Japanese.

And she's American.

So in the Japanese Version of AA7, Germany von Karma would be America Karuma!

That has an oddly nice ring to it

Dear Goldysays,

I do agree with you on the first half. Even I almost found myself out of a job because of those overseeing the Justice System. Just as the PIC seems to have corrupt individuals in the inside, I have no doubt the same applies to the Bar Association.

As for the second half, Mr. Gavin wasn't in prison at the time. He was in the County Jail in the process of being tried for the murder of Shadi Smith. Under such circumstances, he is allowed to wear comfortable clothes until he is tried properly, and even in prison, prisoners are sometimes given normal clothes for visitation hours.

Believe me, my former mentor is given the very same treatment and it is because of wealth. Wealth can determine how well a person is treated before trial, but once imprisoned, they're treated no better than their mates

So, I wasn't sure how I was going to start this post. But for any AssClass fan that is reading this: you might have seen this image before, right?

This image was made back in 2015, during the year of the airing of the anime's first season. It was made for the anime songs 3-days concert Animelo Summer Live 2015 -The Gate-, also abbreviated as Anisama 2015, that was held at the Saitama Super Arena (on August 28th to 30th). It's a very big concert that involves solo artists, group artists, and voice actors singing anime songs.

Speaking of voice actors: the JPN VAs of the 6 Class 3-E students on this image were one of the many performers at Anisama 2015 (can be found on the official Anisama website). They performed on Day 2 of the concert. Forming a special version of 3-nen E-gumi Utatan (Class 3-E Song Unit) known as 3-nen E-gumi Samatan (Class 3-E Summer Unit). Consisting of: • Nagisa Shiota - VA: Mai Fuchigami • Kaede Kayano - VA: Aya Suzaki • Karma Akabane - VA: Nobuhiko Okamoto • Yuma Isogai - VA: Ryota Osaka • Hinata Okano - VA: Minami Tanaka • Tomohito Sugino - VA: Yoshitaka Yamaya

The song this unit sung live was the anime's first opening song: Seishun Satsubatsuron There were also some messages by Koro-sensei (VA: Jun Fukuyama) pre- and post-performance.

Also, Aya Suzaki also performed as Minami Nitta from THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls on the exact same day as well, with a few other VAs from same iM@S branch. And Minami Tanaka also performed as Minami Katayama from Wake Up, Girls! with the rest of the VAs from the same franchise on Day 3 of the concert.

Additionally, there were a few other JPN VAs of the AssClass cast that also performed at Anisama 2015. Just either as themselves (solo singer artists or in a singer artist group) or as one of their character roles from another franchise they voice in.

Manami Numakura (Rio Nakamura's VA) as Hibiki Ganaha from THE iDOLM@STER - P.S. she's one of the few seiyuu who kickstarted the live concert on Day 1 (alongside her with some of the 765PRO ALLSTARS seiyuu who are also from THE iDOLM@STER as well as the idol unit Muse's seiyuu from Love Live!; via collaboration medley

Mamoru Miyano (Gakushuu Asano's VA)

All the VAs/seiyuu mentioned in this post have (or have not) returned to perform at Anisama in later years. Again, either as solo artists or in one of their other character franchise role(s).

I tried my best explaining everything on this post. But I guess this can be seen as some sort of piece of trivia? At least, that's what I think...

Image with all the six JPN VAs on the official AssClass TV Anime Twitter account

A list with the full setlist (Day 1-3) can be found on here

Kinda a surprise for me to see that you can find the full live performance (of this group) on bilibili... (Link)
