Who is your favorite character with Heterochromia?

Blog Post: Mononoke Movie

They dropped the trailer for the new 2024 Ayakashi Mononoke movie, and the new voice cast replacement. Instead of a reprisal, Sakurai Takahiro's role of Kusuriuri will be replaced by Kamiya Hiroshi.

The trailer can be seen [here]. Because I'm subscribed to their Kickstarter, I've been able to get sneak peeks of the visuals every now and then, so I knew early on that a cast change was coming. The new Kusuriuri design and animation has a bit more of a sensual, flirty vibe, which I think doesn't go too bad with Kamiya's voice. But from the current trailer, it seems to really lack the cadence and staccato of the original Mononoke that I fell in love with.

I do actually like Kamiya as a voice actor a lot. He has a ton of roles I really enjoy, and he's definitely in my top 10 --- but the voice of Sakurai for Kusuriuri is so overwhelmingly powerful and iconic, that even now I haven't gotten over it, and am still immensely disappointed that things ended up this way (albeit, understandably given the circumstances). It hits even harder because Kusuriuri is actually my all-time most favourite role of Sakurai.

...But I had several months to get over it, so now I'll just have to try and enjoy the new series as a new thing, and given that the visuals are really different---to treat it as a new character. Although if I'm being honest, if I had to suck it up and pick a replacement, my top choice would instead definitely be Ishida Akira who is in the same vocal generation, and fits both the old image and the new image for the Medicine Seller. He has a gritty, whispy quality to his voice that leaves a deep impression. (If you're curious, here are some voice samples). Runner up after Ishida, would've been Toriumi Kousuke. Casting aside, the new OST sounds phenomenal. I was way more excited about the music and the visuals than the vocals. The trilling chants really got my blood pumped up.

I hope the story they've come up with for the movie will be something to look forward to and excite me at least.

[bungakusyoujo]

Sorry for hopping on an old post, I just really want to do this!

Your favourite male seiyuu?

YUSA KOUJI. Just YUSA KOUJI. I have watched and listened to so much stuff just to hear his voice it's not even funny.

Honourable mentions to: Ishida Akira (very close second fave), Miyano Mamoru (an actual legend), Kamiya Hiroshi (he's voiced so many iconic characters), Fukuyama Jun (I like his serious characters a lot), Ono Daisuke (duh), Hosoya Yoshimasa (how can a bean like him have SUCH A VOICE?), Suwabe Jun'ichi (asdfghjlajfjslhjhdssd), Sakurai Takahiro (his voice is just so godlike), Namikawa Daisuke (BRO THE RANGE), Sugiyama Noriaki (honestly the embodiment of class).

Your least favourite male seiyuu?

Toriumi Kousuke, I just don't vibe with his voice at all, even though he seems great as a person and I thoroughly enjoyed every single event with him.

Your favourite female seiyuu?

Sawashiro Miyuki. WHAT A QUEEN.

Your least favourite female seiyuu?

Hanazawa Kana. She tends to get roles that get on my nerves, but of course there are exceptions.

A seiyuu you’d watch in anything?

I think Mamo-chan, because he's so prolific I already HAVE watched him in anything.

A seiyuu that always makes you laugh?

AGAIN, Mamo-chan, the man's such a Gemini and he steals the attention whenever he appears. I also find Suwabe's comedic timing impeccable. Yucchii being a ドS and bullying everyone is a whole another topic...

The seiyuu you recognize the easiest?

Nakamura Yuuichi, for some reason I always tend to spot him in the most random shows. And Tsuda Kenjirou, the man is unmistakeable.

The seiyuu you recognize the hardest?

Generally I don't have trouble recognising voices, but Namikawa Daisuke in THOSE ROLES where he isn't his typical voice... That's just insane.

A seiyuu you’d rather not watch in anything?

Toriumi Kousuke again, no hate for the guy though.

The seiyuu with the best singing voice?

Hiro Yuuki. I've bought most of his solo CDs and he's just the best vocalist I've heard in ages. Also Taniyama Kishou, he literally has a badass band and owns it.

Seiyuu you find attractive/cute (voice/appearance)

Mamo-chan, Yucchii, Hosoyan - overall. Kamiyan's smile. Ono-D's handsomeness. Sakurai Takahiro's class.

The seiyuu you’d pick to play you?

I am positive Ishida Akira would be able to convincingly emulate my high-pitched voice.

Your favourite performance(s) from your favourite male seiyuu?

Yucchii: Jolly from Arcana Famiglia (he is either loved or hated because this role is all about VERY LOW voice and VERY SLOW speech)

Your favourite performance(s) from your favourite female seiyuu?

Miyuki: Celty from Durarara

The seiyuu with the worst singing voice?

Probably Yucchii lol, he is often called エロ音痴 (sexy tone-deaf) by the Japanese fans. That being said, I definitely enjoy his vocals even if he isn't exactly a good singer.

The series with the best cast overall?

K Project, Bungou Stray Dogs, Durarara and Hetalia have some of the best casts I've encountered, and while each show has its issues, I believe the cast is a consistently strong asset in them.

A series you would not have watched had a seiyuu you liked played a role in it?

i'm not sure if I got this right but I actually watched HUMAN LOST for two reasons: it adapts my favourite book, and it has a dashing cast, but now I regret watching it and I pity the cast for performing in such a poor production lol.

The first seiyuu you remember liking?

Irino Miyu, he played Tsubasa in Beyblade and I was instantly in love. Also Ono-D probably, he was a main character in a lot of the early anime I watched.

A seiyuu you don’t like as much as others do?

Kaji Yuuki. He's great and I adore many of his characters, but he's got so many popular roles that he sort of blends into a single voice type for me, which makes it harder for me to enjoy each performance for what it is.

The seiyuu with the most acting range?

Ishida Akira just cannot be beaten, closely followed by Namikawa Daisuke.

The seiyuu with the least acting range?

Maybe Okamoto Nobuhiko? I feel like a lot of his roles have a similar range. Not a criticism though, because he's fantastic.

A seiyuu you’d hang out with?

I would like to hang out with Madono Mitsuaki, he seems like a fun person from his live streams. Oh and Sugita Tomokazu. Bro is one of the funniest people alive.

Best seiyuu match-ups (can be a group)

Yucchii + Suwabe; Yucchii + Toriumi + Yasumoto Hiroki ( + Yoshino Hiroyuki?); Kamiyan + Ono-D; Sugitan + YouCan; DAISUKE!! cast (Namikawa, Kishio, Ono, Hirakawa, Sakaguchi)

Best seiyuu match-ups, romance edition?

I don't really do romance, but that one time Yucchii and Hirakawa Daisuke performed a BL skit parody had me in tears.

Seiyuu, who surprised you with their non-voice acting skills?

Hard to say, maybe Uemura Yuuto who actually has a teaching licence for Japanese language and could be a teacher if he wanted to lol.

A newbie seiyuu who impressed you?

I don't really keep up with newbies but Chiba Shouya who voiced Sigma in Bungou Stray Dogs definitely caught my ear.

Favourite Seiyuu above 40 Years Old?

JOKE'S ON YOU, MOST OF MY FAVES ARE ABOVE 40 YEARS OLD. ossan enjoyer

Favourite Singing Unit/Group?

Karen Guy's from Zettai Karen Children (originally: Yusa Kouji, Nakamura Yuuichi, Taniyama Kishou, later joined by Suwabe Jun'ichi)

What made you interested in seiyuu?

I'm not sure, but I've always been interested in voice performances so it seemed like a natural progression to delve into seiyuu.

Your favourite recent performances given by any seiyuu?

How recent is recent? I really enjoyed Oonuki Yuusuke in FUGOU KEIJI: Balance Unlimited as Kanbe Daisuke. It was hard to believe the guy is originally a dancer and not a voice actor.

@aree-ajisai your turn ;)

10/10 BEST DAD

[ryosukedaigakuya96]

[lustfulcat]

More spoilers! It’s been a wild day for both our boys and the fandom. Yoneda Kou is listed for the next issue so (fingers crossed!) we’ll see chapter 46 on Sept 30th!

HAVE SOME BULLET POINTS:

They bring Kousuke to meet his brother. Everyone is in the car on the way there and it isn’t awkward at all nope. 

Once Kido is in their sights, interrogation ensues. Yashiro is quite dashing. They find out that the money Kido has been accruing is going to a group in Shin-Okubo which is the Korea Town area of Kabukicho. I wonder if that group has any relation to the group Hirata was getting the drugs from during his “fuck up Shinseikai” plan hmmmmmmm

In a blurry page that I haven’t posted here bc blurry, it’s revealed that Okuyama (the old Wakagashira of Sanwakai who thought he’d be the next leader and who had a falling out with the group once Tsunakawa took over) was behind Niki’s kidnapping. I feel he might be problematic in future chapters since Doumeki thwarted the kidnapping and damaged his men.

Also, at some point in the chapter, Nanahara tells Yashiro that he wants to go back to the group. Even though he’s techincally still in Doushinkai, he’s been on the side project of watching over Yashiro for the last four years, and our bright Sunshine Derp has grown up! Unlike Yashiro, Nanahara loves being part of the yakuza, he’s more like Kamiya in that regard, and after he fanbois Tsunakawa’s place and talks about “his dream for working for a traditional yakuza” it’s obvious that he wants something different.

Afterward, Doumeki drives back to Yashiro’s apartment to drop him off and they’re in the car alone ajsgaksgaasga. Of course, the conversation is tense and it goes from snarky to sexual with Yashiro hinting that Doumeki might have other intentions behind giving Yashiro “a ride” home. Doumeki knows just how to meet Yashiro’s challenge and asks him “why, do you want it?” and of course Yashiro is like NO and storms out of the car, where he has a introspective speedwalk about how much he actually does want Doumeki, thinking back to his post-shower jerk-off session in the previous chapter.

Doumeki isn’t one to be deterred and he follows Yashiro, stopping him in front of his building where they have an intense conversation about who wants what. Doumeki is trying to get Yashiro to admit that he wants him, wants anything, and Yashiro is refusing to play ball because he never admits his real feelings to anyone so why start now?

And with impeccable cockroach timing, Inami pulls up and calls out to Yashiro. When Doumeki turns, Inami recognizes him and comments on his scars. I hope he’s afraid. Very afraid. Otherwise I would love to see a repeat of the beatdown in chapter 16.

Remember the dream Yashiro had in chapter 40? Where he was walking, and Doumeki grabbed his arm and Yashiro jerked away? Well we have it here in parallel. Yashiro tries to walk to Inami and Doumeki stops him. According to Sexy Sources, the convo is basically: D “Do you need a man so badly you would go to Inami”   Y:  “that’s right what’s it to you?”  Then Yashiro tells Doumeki that he’s hurting him and to let go. 

This time, when Yashiro pulls away it’s not like the dream. Doumeki follows, rips him away from Inami and tells him “If it doesn’t matter who then it doesn’t have to be him/I will do” aklshalshlahl

I am BEYOND HOPING that there will be some touching in the next chapter. We have waited for so long. The setup is there; last time it was in Doumeki’s place, now they’re in front of Yashiro’s. Once Inami drives away (and hopefully dies) they’ll be alone with no Kamiya listening in to cockblock them and - let’s be real here - they were thisclose to getting down before they were interrupted so once things get heated nothing will stop them. Yashiro wants Doumeki so badly he can’t even stand a car ride without imploding and Doumeki is extra pushy now. This is the second time he’s asked “then why not me?” and I doubt Yashiro will be able to say no to him twice. I certainly couldn’t aklshalhsl

And finally, at the end of chapter 40′s dream Yashiro is left alone. It’s something he’s afraid of, something that truly hurts him, and it goes as far back as Tadayoedo, where Kageyama’s simple comment of “you’re all alone” hits him hard. It’s one of the reasons he won’t get close to Doumeki, why he won’t get close to anyone, and it only comes to light when he’s feeling vulnerable. Now that Nanahara wants to leave after being by his side for over a decade, Yashiro is feeling untethered, close to being alone again, and Doumeki will not let Yashiro reach out to someone who could hurt him, like he always does. Doumeki will be there for him because he never stopped loving Yashiro. Doumeki stayed in that world to be close to Yashiro, has been keeping tabs on Yashiro for four years, and now that Yashiro is so close, he’s not going to let him go.

2017.05.20 OEdo no Candy 2 Event and Movie Review!

I got a chance to go to another OEdo Candy event and I got to go to the showing of the new movie plus they had a butai aisatsu (stage greeting) from some of the cast after.

*PSST: if you just want to read about the stage greeting then Ctrl F and ‘Stage Greeting’. It’s at the bottom of the page/post.

First the MOVIE REVIEW

NON-SPOILER REVIEW

Overall: This is partly what I was expecting and partly not. I was expecting it to be fantastical and romancy、 BUT I wasn’t expecting it to be so fairy-like and lots of glittery special effects and weird colour tones and such. It definitely makes it all the more magical and luckily, isn’t too distracting. Also it wasn’t as BL-y as I was under the impression of. I wish this movie had been longer. I needed and wanted more character development. The visuals were amazing, it was very funny (which I also wasn’t expecting) and the characters were great. It’s definitely an Indie-styled movie. It’s not a clean cut, it’s not professional looking, the editor purposefully leaves in real actor mistakes that happened for comic relief. BUT it’s enjoyable, fascinating and I’m glad it ended with a ‘To Be Continued’. Rating: 7/10

---

Now for cast and spoiler section and everything:

CAST

Kurihara Rui aka Louis Aramaki Yoshihiko aka MakiChan Someya Toshiyuki aka Someyan Fujita Tom Akazawa Tomoru aka Tomorun Kamiya Riku Shiono Akihisa Asuma Kousuke Yura Achiha Hiko Robin Komina Kouji Nakamura Kaito Tokito Kishimoto Takuya aka KishiTaku Izumi Shuuhei Moriya Koji Kazuki Haru Doi Kazumi Hashimoto Zenitsu Nakajima Ken Nihira Shougo aka Shougokun Mori Issei Dairi IG Saya Onuki Yuusuke Mayama Akihiro Takahashi Hiromu Sano Shirou Fukikoshi Mitsuru Takenaka Naoto Koizumi Kyouko

That’s a fucking long list xD anyway!

---

SPOILER REVIEW

I am going to go into a lot of detail about scenes and plot so you’ve been warned. Also I still haven’t seen the first movie so I many have left stuff out or not understand some parts because of that. Okay, let’s start!

The Movie Itself

Already mentioned in the non-spoiler section but: It was more Indie than I was expecting. I knew it wouldn’t be a perfect Toho cinematic-like movie because it has stage actors in and they usually have the more raw and not quite polished movies, but the director has been on Shabekuri007 and the cast is stella, top stage actors AND some HUGE TV names are in this cast, so I was expecting some professionalism but I was so wrong! It’s so, so Indie in it’s style. The cuts and edits aren’t quite so clean, the special effects are ridiculously fake but make everything look so pretty. The colouring and tone of the movie, especially when they’re in Underworld, is very obvious and like shades of green and blue rather than natural colours. So I was a little surprised at first. It’s obvious straight away that it’s Indie style, but I like this style thankfully so it didn’t bother me for long. I like this style; it’s definitely a style I enjoy but some people won’t.

Continuing on about the use of colour and sparkle effects when they were in the Underland; they were definitely creative and entertaining. For example there’s this sparkler like movement and light that goes around the characters, and at one point, love hearts are falling down around Someya and Riku when they finally meet and they realise they’re fated to be together. Just like these pics:

At first the special effects were very jarring and distracting BUT I got used to them. Although(!) it’s going to be annoying as fuck when it comes out of DVD because we ALL want to get those pretty and good shots of our favourite actors, but because the sparkles and such that just go all over their faces and everything, they aren’t going to be the best of shots. They should bring out an unfiltered version for us! They’ll make more money that way too!! xD

This movie was a lot less gay than I was expecting. Especially because on Tsutaya’s (a Japanese rental website and store) website the first OEdo movie is labelled as ‘erotica’ but like... there’s two kiss scenes, some rope scenes, and implied whipping but that’s all! But I guess Japanese censorship is more sensitive that way? I’d just say this is a PG-12, it’s really nothing too raunchy.

This movie was FUNNY! Funny as fuck! I wasn’t expecting it to be funny at all! I laughed the entire time! Either because of the stuff happening in the movie itself was funny, or because knowing the actors and their personalities it’s funny. It’s also very purposefully funny, like the editor saw a mistake and was like ‘that’s hilarious! Keep it in!'. Especially Asuma’s scene and the Masturi/Festival scene which I’ll explain later. There’s definitely scenes that happened by mistake or weren’t part of the script, but the editor and director purposefully left them in the final cut to give the audience a laugh and embarrass the actors xD

The story is simple-ish enough to understand and it’s very fun to watch, but like I said in my non-spoiler review; I wish this movie was longer so we could’ve gotten MORE plot and MORE character development and MORE comedy,. I just want MORE. Luckily at the end it said ‘To Be Continued’ however I assume the cast will change again(?) just like it did between the first and second movie, which is a shame because I’d like as much of this cast back as possible.

The Actors and Characters and Their Scenes

Kurihara Rui:

He surprised me. I’ve seen him in person and I’ve seen him on tv as himself many times and he very much has the persona of someone who is very emo-like with life and very monotone and doesn’t like to smile and is very witty but straight faced when he jokes. Even when I saw him at the first OEdo event he was like this! But in the movie, he at least had facial expressions! At first he didn’t but then we see him freaking out in the bathroom and being concerned. For the most part he stays as himself but I was surprised he could actually give SOME sort of acting performance. He is model so of course he looks damn pretty in his white outfit, and his skin looks freaking flawless as fuck in this movie. But I am very happy and surprised from the performance he did give.

Aramaki Yoshihiko:

My boy... first I have a bone to pick with you Aramaki Yoshi-always-straight-hiko!!!! (Can you tell what it is yet?)

OF COURSE MakiChan is the ONLY (no wait Asuma is too but he’s not a main character) straight person in this movie! EVERYONE else is obviously gay but oh no MakiChan just HAS to be the straight character -__- I was hoping for him and Akazawa to have a thing going on in this, instead of him denying he’s in love with his childhood female friend the entire movie -__- oh well! Least he’s somewhat gay in Honoo no Mirage... one day I’ll get my gay movie from him! I better! All stage actors have one! Also you work with Shosan a lot and he’s done quite a few! Also Baba and TakaChan! Come on Maki! GIVE ME MY GAY MAKICHAN MOVIE! I’m okay... moving on...

MakiChan’s character was chara (how would you even translate ‘chara’ in English?! ‘Playboy’? or ‘Likes to mess around’?) as fuck though. His first scene is him opening a very posh person’s door to reveal a very posh and stuck up girl and takes her through his izakaya while winking at his mates that he’s ‘gotten in there’. Then at the end of the date she pulls him slightly into the car and kisses him on the cheek. Once she’s left, he’s like ‘yes I’ve scored!’ BUT at the same time is totally adorable because he’s over the moon by just a simple kiss and can’t take his hand off his cheek where she kissed him! He was both chara and cute at the same time! Also the next day he’s with Shiono and is holding a teddy and just being so cute and child-like that he got a kiss from the most popular girl in his university xD Just adorableness galore from MakiChan! With the teddybear = adorable. Trying his hardest to join in on the (real) matsuri/festival = adorable! When he wakes up at the end = ADORABLE! 

ALSO very badass when he attacks and kills Robin in a second! Also OMG! In the beginning he sees his dad come out of the Boys Bar that’s next door to the izakaya, and he chases his dad down and is like ‘you’re not gay?!’ and his dad’s like ‘why you think your mother and I.... anyway I’m gay. You do realise I’m gay right? You might not understand but that’s how it is!’ And the next day MakiChan turns to Shiono and is like ‘my dad told me he’s gay...what the fuck?!’ xD And his dad was being played by FREAKING Takenaka Naoto! TAKENAKA NAOTO! He’s a freaking movie and TV star! He’s amazing in whatever he does and he was in this?! And with MakiChan?! AND as MakiChan’s DAD?! And being a GAY daddy?! He was fabulous and amazing (as always) in this!

Speaking of Akazawa and MakiChan. I really loved their relationship and my head thinks they were dating in it even though his character is supposed to be straight, and I think Akazawa’s character was supposed to be in love with Rui’s character in the UnderWorld. Nevertheless their relationship was great BECAUSE MakiChan’s character in the Underworld cannot speak, he’s mute, and luckily Akazawa can hear him via telepathy which was cute so Akazawa helped MakiChan out a lot.

I can confirm that for many many months even before the movie first came out, MakiChan and co were saying you can hear them say ‘facial’ instead of ‘washoi’ during the festival scene, and I can confirm that they do in fact say ‘facial’ instead of ‘washoi’ in the scene xD I was giggling quite a bit.

Little side note: In UnderWorld he is the only character who has a recollection and memories of his time in the Real World.

Finally! As disgusting as it sounds (but shouldn’t be a surprise if you know me) MakiChan’s underarm hair made a special guest appearance and it made me VERY happy <3 why am I so fucking weird...MOVING ON!

Someya Toshiyuki:

Someya is so pretty when he dresses up and has make up in a more feminine manner! He was gorgeous! I could not look away! And the kiss with Someya and Riku was perfect though! It was rather heart-racey but nothing too heart-racey (am I even getting enough oxygen to my brain right now to be able to talk about this properly?!) xD 

BUT! One moment that got me giggling though is when Someya takes like 5 minutes to cut Riku’s rope from his hands -- it really doesn’t take that long! It wasn’t that thick of a rope at all and I just cracked up the longer the scene went. I get it was a long scene so they could keep talking and so the sexual tension between them built up but it was a ridiculous amount of time.

Why did he have to die though?! Riku gets killed by Tom so then Someya kills himself with a knife in front of Tom and because Tom has essentially lost the person he loves he shoots himself in the head! ... I’ve just realised how freaking Romeo and Juliet this all is... it literally is just a movie about romance and being dramatic and everyone dying and/or killing themselves for the people they love xD what the fuck... it’s still good though!

Fujita Tom:

Surprisngly Tom’s character was pretty interesting! I don’t know why I expected him not to be because I was impressed with him in Kamen Rider Amazons and I enjoyed seeing him in person last time... 

I liked his character. He was like a warlord and looked very good upon his throne. I liked both his Real World and UnderWorld Character. His Real World character works in the freaking Boys Bar along with Someya. In fact the entire Boys Bar scene and location itself is ridiculous and hilarious! It’s this very loud, strip-bar which is right next to MakiChan’s brother’s (played by Riku) izakaya and that’s why they have conflict, because they can hear the Boys Bar’s music every night. Seriously the entire Boys Bar scene is amazing, I think I enjoyed it a bit too much xD Anyway, back to Tom; I liked both his character but was short lived, again leading back to the whole ‘I needed more from this movie’ complaint.

Akazawa Tomoru:

I remember that in the last event, the director commented (probably during the Making video) on how big Akazawa’s eyes are, and seriously, while watching this movie, they really are huge! It doesn’t help he has these blue eye contacts in that really light his face up (not in a stupid way! A natural way!) so they looked obviously bigger compared to everyone else too.

But damn Akazawa’s death scene was sad and upsetting =[ It was so quick and unexpected too! He was seriously struggling =‘[ he got his neck slit open and was on the floor in his pool of blood coughing and trying to save the others before they get killed, and he’s like ‘I’m so glad you weren’t here (when they came <-- they being Tom’s group who are after Rui because he’s some magical white fairy thing I think).

Kamiya Riku:

He is MakiChan’s brother in this! But also Someya’s fated lover. A majpr plot of the story is that until he meets Someya (again) in the real world, he doesn’t remember anything except his family. He’s a very quiet character but once he finds Someya the amount of love you can see in his eyes towards Someya and how his face completely softens when he sees Someya, it’s so adorable!

Shiono Akihisa:

Shiono is a freaking puppy! He’s in love with his and MakiChan’s childhood friend, but she’s in love with MakiChan and instead of confessing his love to her, -- although there is a hypothetical scene that plays out where he tells her to forget MakiChan and hugs her and confesses his love to her but! -- he lets her go and holds back so in the end, her and MakiChan can get together! He’s too precious for this world! He’s so sweet! He also does the Matsuri with MakiChan which is great too! It was a short time but you could easily see their long friendship shine through their scenes together.

Asuma Kousuke:

Asuma’s character had a lisp and it was fucking hilarious. Several times in the movie, the characters (to his character) were like ‘why do you say Sa Si Su Se So instead of Sa Shi Su Se So’ It was a funny bit every time, especially when he was like ‘I don’t speak weird!’ and they all laughed. His character also got slapped a lot by the other characters as another form of comic relief.

Also in his very first scene, he clearly (the actor, not the character) overhits the wooden overhead part and makes a huge noise, you can see slight pain in his face, and everyone in the room (I was in) pissed themselves laughing. It was obviously a ‘the actor accidentally did it but we thought it was hilarious so left it in the movie’ moment.

By the way, Asuma it TOO tall and TOO skinny! xD

Robin:

His visual and the metal arm armour he has is badass! He looks so good in his costume and seriously that arm is soooo amazing! Even the cast and staff commented on how nice it is and Robin was happy he got to wear such a cool looking thing. His character is like an assassin but is so easily killed by MakiChan in one swift and quick movement -- it was an awesome scene! But unfortunately it turns out MakiChan didn’t completely and successfully kill him because as MakiChan tries to help Someya get Riku, Robin comes from behind and stabs him and he dies. But it was a cool movement when MakiChan ninja-slashed him.

Nakamura Kaito:

This little cutie! Him and Tokito were like supposed to be waiting on Someya but spent most of their time being pretty dumb (in an adorable way) and playing games with each other. Especially when MakiChan turns on Tom (he uses a sleeping drug on him) and Robin, after slashing Robin, the two of them are hugging one another and going ‘please don’t kill us!’ and MakiChan lets them go. It was such an adorable moment from them. It was cut when they played Rock-Paper-Scissors together too.

Kishimoto Takuya:

His guests appearance was absolutely hilarious! So he plays the driver of car of the women who MakiChan takes to his izakaya. And once out of view of the izakaya, she tells KishiTaku to stop the car. Here she removes her shoes and puts her feet on the headrest infront of her (she’s in the back seat behind Kishi who’s driving) and her feet are either side of his face and he’s like ‘o_O’ and ‘=O’ but also super enjoying it. I’m pretty sure she ends up putting her feet ON his face and he’s goes into this like orgasmic state and enjoys it thoroughly. His character was so amusing.

Doi Kazumi and Nihira Shougo:

There were some great cameos from people like Doi Kazumi (who was a worker at the Boys Bar) and Kishimoto Takuya (seriously KishiTaku’s part was hilarious! I am not doing it justice above!), also freaking Takenaka Naoto (who I already fangirled over)!

Furthermore, I freaked during the All Boys Bar scene when for a SPLIT (literally a split, split second) when I saw my very own Shougo-kun!! It was a moment of ‘*double take* wait what?!’ when I saw him. I practically jumped out of my seat when I found him! I was so shocked and excited to see him in it because I was not expecting him! I immediately tweeted him after seeing the movie and was like ‘why didn’t I know?! But also I’m impressed at how quickly I spotted you xD’ which makes me seem super stalkery xD oh well! But I am so proud of my boy and when I saw his name in the credits and realised I was right about spotting him, I was a very happy girl ^_^

Hashimoto Zenitsu:

He ends up being MakiChan’s dad’s entertainment in the Boys Bar and they look so freaking hilarious with each other. Knowing Takenaka he was the one super into the role and being like ‘lets do this! lets really do this’ and making it look so lovey dovey and sickly and funny as possible and I imagine Zenitsu was just going along with it. It’s such a good but short scene with them two.

Sano Shirou and Fukikoshi Mitsuru:

These two HUGE tv stars guest starring in this movie. I’ve always liked both of them (and Takenaka) and I really liked Fukikoshi’s character! He was very funny! Especially towards the end when MakiChan(I think?) is trying to explain what happened in Underworld and Fukikoshi is asleep the entire time xD

After the Movie, it was the CAST EVENT/STAGE GREETING:

It was: Aramakaki Yoshihiko (duh that’s why I went xD), Asuma Kousuke, Robin, Nakamura Kaito and Takahashi Zenitsu. 

I was second row to the right-hand side (and the row behind me and all the seats to my right were empty, so safe to say it was obvious when he was looking at me), so as soon as MakiChan came on stage, he saw me and smiled at me ^_^ Then at another point in the talk show, Asuma was talking and I was giggling silently and very hard at him, and MakiChan saw me and had to stop himself from laughing - he made that ‘holding back the smiling/laughing’ type face. I feel guilty for making him almost crack up on stage but also special because only me and him know why.

They first had a Mini-Talk but I don’t really remember what happened or what was said but I remember laughing a lot - sorry! But I do remember them talking about Robin and his cool character, so he was like ‘okay! Everyone close your eyes! The audience will clap on which one of you they want me to kill!’ Even though they were suspicious at first, they complied and they all closed their eyes and he walked around the back of each of them and waited for us to clap. Naturally Asuma and MakiChan had the biggest claps, SO Robin decided to kill both of them with his ‘air sword’ (he didn’t have one on him). To which MakiChan was like ‘that’s not how I’d kill someone!’ and Robin was alarmed at first at how serious MakiChan sounded at killing someone (xD) but then asked, ‘well how would you do it then?!’ so MakiChan said he’d show them. But before that MakiChan did the same thing as Robin and asked the audience the clap at who they wanted killed and it landed on Asuma xD so the first time he just killed Asuma with an air sword and then the second time it was MakiChan giving Asuma a drink and saying like ‘Otsukare’ and then Asuma drinks it and collapses to the floor and MakiChan is like ‘I’d poison them!’ with a smile on his face xD which is related to his character in the movie because his character does drug Fujita Tom’s drink but doesn’t kill them.

Then we had the Senshuu-Kai which is like a lottery and they picked the audience’s seats from a box and it was to win one of five signed copies of the script. Most of the people who won were on the second floor -- there were only like 20 seats on the second floor and FOUR people from there got signed copies! We were all surprised at how lucky the top floor was. 

ALSO The boys mentioned they watched the movie FROM the second floor. When the movie had ended I did see about 6 people stand up and slink backstage, so it must’ve been them! That means MakiChan was opposite me and one floor up! I wonder if he saw me the entire time! =O *dead*

Finally there was the HIGH TOUCH/FIVE on the way out!

Being technically the back row (it was set out weird. I was row N but second row on the right. Don’t ask) I was one of the first to go to the high five. The boys were lined up outside next to where the goods had been and the order was: Zenitsu, Robin, Nakamura, Asuma and finally MakiChan. I remember high-fiving Zenitsu and Nakamura completely, but I don’t remember high fiving Robin, and I barely remember Asuma, only just thinking ‘he smiles well’ and ‘DAMN HE TALL!’ xD 

With MakiChan being at the end, he got a few seconds longer with everyone as they left. He gave me this huge smile, high fived me, waved at me, said thank you and good bye, and waved me off and watched me walk away to the stairs ^_^ <3 okay I’m dead *dead* he’s always so amazing with his fans. God dammit guys... he’s so amazing... such a good person *dead*

Original Anime "Shoot! Goal to the Future" Reveals Teaser PV and Cast

The official website for Shoot! Goal to the Future, the first new anime based on Tsukasa Ooshima's soccer-themed manga Shoot! in 28 years, began streaming a teaser promotional video for the anime on Friday. The video reveals the anime's cast, staff, and July premiere date on Tokyo MX, BS Fuji, TV Shizuoka, and AT-X

Synopsis:

Atsushi Kamiya, a former captain at Kakegawa High School and the world-renowned "courageous captain" for a famous Italian soccer team…

And Hideto Tsuji, a student at Kakegawa High School, who seems uninterested in the now-weakened soccer team…

Their meeting is the start of a new legend... 

The original Shoot! manga ran in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine between 1990 and 2003. The manga has more than 50 million copies in print.
