LAUGHING UNDER THE CLOUDS IS SO FUCKING GOOD WHY HAVE I NEVER HEARD OF IT BEFORE RECENTLY??????

[hikikomoriheadphonegirl]

[wo1fsbane-remade]

the worst part about shirasu betraying the kumou brothers is that they don’t even hate him and i’m sure if he came back they’d all welcome him with open arms and just *pain*

Donten ni Warau Gaiden: Shukumei, Soutou no Fuuma (Launghing Under the Clouds - The Destiny of Twin Fuuma)

I just finished the 2nd film of Laughing Under the Clouds Gaiden film trilogy and I couldn't find the words to fully express how I felt. It left me heartbroken. It's even more painful than the TV anime series. It made me realize that Fuumas are among the villains that I hate to hate. It's amazing that we are able to have a glimpse at the background of Shirasu and his clan. We finally learn where he came from and how painful his journey was but he was still able to laugh during his time with the Kumou brothers. It's also good to see that he had survived from that climactic and dramatic finale of the TV anime. I'll say this again and again but Laughing Under the Clouds is such an underrated anime.

[animelake13]

top 5 favorite anime characters!!

Oh this is rough actually, picking just five is so hard!

Ugh!

1. Kuroo Tetsurou - My haikyuu boy simply won't let me choose anyone else for first place. I love his cunning personality, he's still incredibly kind even though he can be a little... Mean. He's just one of my favorites in all time.

2. Twelve - From Terror in Resonance. He's so sweet and he just wanted the world to stop and think about things. He did not get what he deserved and I still go back and watch this one!

3. Giyuu Tomioka - This Demon Slayer Boi is so good. I recently got into Demon Slayer and God I am in love with this character!! (Since this one's recent I won't do anything more than this.)

4. Yogi - Karneval! Karneval! Karneval! I love this man and I love this Manga and anime! I just keep coming back to it! It makes me so happy to read please go look at it people!!

5. Tenka Kumou - Donten Ni Warau is so good I cannot stress this enough. This is the best nii-san, great person, great brother, best man I swear. He's so lovely and his story is so good!

Anyway, a list of honorable mentions because omg this is hard.

Tsukishima Kei, Gareki, Ulquiorra Cifer, Trevor Belmont (Castelvania counts right? XD)

~Donten ni Warau~

Donten ni Warau English: Laughing Under the Clouds German: Unterm Wolkenhimmel Japanese: 曇天に笑う

In the dawn of the Meiji period, the Gokumonjou, an inescapable prison, has been established in the middle of an enormous lake to counter the soaring crime rates the new era has brought. Serving as the ferrymen are the famous Kumou brothers: the eccentric family head, Tenka; the reckless but noble second son, Soramaru; and the guileless youngest, Chuutarou. In spite of their grim work, the three lead relatively peaceful lives in the ever-cloudy town of Oumi, together with their housekeeper, Shirasu Kinjou. But buried in the long history of Oumi is the legend of the terrifying "Orochi," a serpentine beast that awakens every three hundred years in a human vessel. Unbeknownst to Soramaru and Chuutarou, the actual job of the Kumou family is to seal the Orochi away before it fully revives—or the world will be plunged into destruction. Amid the monster's next resurrection, the Kumou family must find the resolve to keep laughing under the clouds.

Our Future Together

Pairing: Kumou Tenka/Kinjou Shinka

曇天に笑う | Donten ni Warau

Modern Au, Proposing

The wind blew and so did the white sheet that carried the scent of fabric conditioner, the soft flowing petals from the sakura trees flying through the wind.

And as he watched that white hair get swept back from the breeze, he knew that he is the luckiest man alive to have such a beautiful, no gorgeous- wait, indescribable man; the love of his life, Kinjou Shirasu.

Black hair spread out around the floor as he flopped himself down. His back pressed against the wooden floors with crimson eyes staring at the ceiling as memories of the past came in a wave of reminiscence. He remembered how years before they came across a rough patch within their relationship, resulting in Shirasu leaving him and his brothers. It wasn't a few months later when he decided to travel, maybe it was to take the heartache and leave it behind as something part of his past but talking with someone he met in teahouse made him come running back to his home, only thinking of meeting with no one else but Shirasu- well, he also missed his brothers, of course.

Although an accident with a car that sped through a red light caused him paralyzed on the right side of his body, leaving only a numbing feeling that he couldn't really feel anymore had him bound to a wheelchair, he was, nonetheless, determined to see his snow hair coloured beloved again. To see and gaze upon purple irises that captured his heart, to see and feel the body that he got so used to having around him, to hear and listen with everything he has that soft toned voice- to touch, to feel, to never let go of Shirasu ever again.

He wasn't too sure of whether or not it was luck, but he was certainly beyond happy to come home one day, his brothers' voices filled with joy echoing around their house, calling to him at the door step and standing behjnd them, Shirasu-

"Yes?"

"Huh?" He mumbled out, rubbing his eye of sleep as red irises came upon purple hues and clear white lashes.

"You called me?" Shirasu tilted his head, carefully sitting himself beside his lover's lying body.

"I did-?" A yawn escaped him, using his left arm to push his upper body upwards. "I must've fell asleep."

A chuckle, or maybe a giggle, came out from the other man's smiling lips, "I know, you were sleeping like a baby."

He couldn't help the blush that went to his cheeks as he pouted out his lips. Such a child he was, Shirasu would more often than not tell him.

"Tenka?" Red eyes blinked at the call of his name. "Hm."

A silence passed after that small hum. Shirasu sitting beside him, light coloured irises gazing at him. "I had a dream about you. About us."

"And?"

"I don't know. It was more like a trip down memory lane, really."

"I see." Shirasu mumbled out, his eyes falling to his lap and his head lowering the slightest bit before in quick movements, he lifted up his head again and spoke, "Tenka-"

"I-!" The black haired male spoke up, cutting the other male's words. "I don't really care about what happened in the past because all I really want to see is the future. And I want to see that future, where I'd start growing white hair, the joints of my bones aching when I try to move too much, my voice becoming weak with old age... I want to see all of that, I want to experience all of that; with you, Shirasu."

The purple that he got so used to staring down, gazing upon at, slowly started to have a glassy sheen, a wet trail sliding down a pale cheek as a smile both soft, warm, and filled to the brim with joy showed up on his beloved's lips.

Tenka smile, big and bright, as he pulled Shirasu closer to him, letting him lean against his chest in comfort as Shirasu hid his face in Tenka's shirt.

"So?" Tenka whispered, the sound of fabric flapping about because of the wind almost drowning out his voice.

"Yes." Was Shirasu's faint response.

That day, Tenka's voice resounded throughout the whole house upon his brothers' arrival from school. Soramaru immediately changed his clothes from his uniform to something more comfortable before starting to prepare themselves a meal worthy of a celebratation. Chutarou jumped up and down, unable to contain his excitement and happiness about the news as finally and officially, a new addition to the family has been made.

Within it all, Shirasu kept repeating the rapid sound of Tenka's heartbeat when he was waiting for an answer because imagining a panicking Tenka was something he'd never expect to see in reality.

Until, that is, when the day finally arrived.

Ignoring the fact that this blog is incredibly bare-bones right now because I forgot it existed: hello! I'm the person who does DONTEN Project, and I've translated and typeset Chapter 12 of Donten ni Warau Gaiden; I will be doing the same with the rest of the Gaiden chapters in the coming... some unit of time. I'm aware that there are some translated chapters out there ahead of where I am, but for the sake of having a complete Batoto archive, this is where we're at! I'll upload a photoset in case some of you prefer to read on Tumblr, but for now: your Batoto link. Thanks for reading! I'm glad I can bring you the Kumou brothers' adventures!

ELEVEN ARTS Anime Studio has announced they will be releasing Laughing Under the Clouds: Gaiden parts 1 & 2 in North American theaters. This film is an adaption of the hit manga and anime series Laughing Under the Clouds. ELEVEN ARTS has set a release date of August 24th, 2018 for the first two parts, and they third installment will be coming next year. The film will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles.

Fans of Wit Studio’s previous works, the adrenaline-pumping Attack on Titan and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, need look no further than this newest addition. Gaiden offers plenty of action and drama. What is remarkable about this story, and especially universal in appeal, is its attitudes toward grief, sensitivity, depression, violence, and compassion. The film perfectly balances the physical with the emotional and updates the Meiji Restoration with a contemporary feel, ensuring that there’s something in it for everyone.

Gaiden picks up where the original series left off, in the wake of the Yamainu squad’s battle with the formidable Orochi serpent. Now that the Yamainu have vanquished their enemy and escorted all criminals to the local prison, government officials decide to outlaw swords – putting Japan’s great avengers out of a job. So now the Yamainu, all trained assassins, must pull together to find a new cause, one within their own group.

Although he ought to feel victorious, the Orochi took its toll on squad leader Tenka, the eldest of the Kumou brothers. Tenka’s paraplegic condition, rendering him unable to help his teammates in battle, leaves him with severe guilt and self-doubt. No longer threatened with possession by the Orochi, Tenka must reconcile with his own inner demons, and the squad must save him from himself.

Eventually, internal disputes will turn themselves inside out again, when a new enemy emerges from the shadows. The Fuuma ninja clan, who assassinated the Kumou parents years before, inches one step closer to their goal of reviving the Orochi, with the help of some surprising allies. Now the remaining Yamainu will find themselves back in employment.
