Stars Align 5

Geepers, I accidentally read some spoilers before watching this episode…so I realised that the person in te clubroom was Toma without his glasses, but it took me a bit to realise still.

“Makimaki”…cute.

Don’t give Maki’s father your name, Toma. Names are weapons for guys like him!

It’s ben a while since I’ve done this type of maths, although the answer appears to be correct.

Huh? The ED went straight to the teachers instead of going to Kinuyo/Ruriha/Kaori (whatever her name is)…

Oh! That heart gesture hints at the fact he has a sister (I’ve forgotten the guy’s name though) – he might’ve learnt some dance choreography from watching idols or magical girls with her. Update: That’s Shingo.

Dr Stone 19

Rule no. 2 of shonen – don’t underestimate the bishonen.

The guy who kinda looks like Kirishima with orange hair is definitely going to be important…(rule no. ???? of anime).

Ooh! The themes I thought would never came back…came back!

Some people do consider underpaying people a modern form of slavery, y’know.

Does Tsukasa always have to be called “the strongest primate”, though…? It’s a badass title, to be sure, but it certainly wouldn’t be said a lot in a normal conversation.

Judging by the flame (homura) she carries, I’d wager her name is Homu-oh, dangit. Her name really is Homura!

Senku teaches Fire Safety 101.

Ginro’s not holding his bokuto (wooden kendo practice sword) anymore…hmm.

I didn’t think Sulfuric Acid lady would be back…ever.

The funny thing is that Tsukasa seems to be a gender-neutral name, so telling the brawny men to “go suck on Mommy Tsukasa’s teat”…LOL.

Hyoga has that mask thing of his anyway, so he’s probably better off than, say, Homura.

Is that a Death Star??????!!!!

Kensaku means “search”.

Cell phone…you’d need extensive knowledge of electronics and/or IT and architecture (for the larger networks, or at least the towers) to get one running.

“…who’ll be our double agent?” – No duh. It’s either Gen (as suggested in the scene just before) or Taiju and/or Yuzuriha.

I never thought a smartphone would make me feel sad for what has gone before, but it just did when all these quotes from the past came through.

Okay, so one of the ingredients is steel (hagane).

I love how Gen gets the wine image. He’s a stage magician, so his fancy suit matches the image of a sommelier.

Byakuya seems to be the one represented in the battery image.

BnHA 67

Yay! Amajiki, my booooooooooy!

Shinchou Yuusha 6

I never thought I’d say this to my seasonal husbandos – I don’t even say this about zaShunina, the random yandere – but…Seiya, you a**hole!

Lemme guess…Seiya’s gonna use some speed seeds?

I read on Leviae’s status earlier that she has an immunity towards fire…*gulp*

A nurikabe is a wall youkai that blocks travel, while a hyosube lives in a river and eats rice plants.

What’s the age gap between Mash and Elulu? I know Mash is hot enough (in the manga) to be compltly within my range, so I’d say he’s about 16 at the youngest, but Elulu is, what, 12…? Update: There’s no real indication as to what the characters’ ages are, but Mash is lvl 16 and Elulu is lvl 8.

Ooh, this is new! Seiya’s thrown caution to the wind for once for the sake of Elulu!

No Guns Life 6

“Strong Smells” (on the can) – Yep, Olivier seems to be proving that name right.

Motor City…I didn’t really care for it at first, but now I’m starting to warm up to it.

Ooh, it seems the implication here is that Olivier inherited the title of EMS commander from her dad.

“…I’m gonna get shot!” - I guess when you’ve got a gun for a head, the assumption is you’re gonna get shot.

Armed Tokisada seems to be this world’s version of All Might…(but then is Juzo Deku? LOL.)

Iruma-kun 7

This OP is a lot more battle-oriented than I remember…

I want a GIF of sparkly Amelie, stat!

Iruma’s voice as Rin is too CUTE! LOL!

Kawaii Comics, LOL.

Ooh! I can recognise Opera by his nail polish now…! His nail polish appears to be purple today.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen Opera express his own concern for Iruma until now. Maybe he’s like a surrogate mother to Iruma by now…?

They even have monsters to call out bell noises…LOL wut.

Hmm…I just realised Azz speaks to Iruma rather formally. Not just the –sama, but the keigo as well.

Azz is rather observant too…(Seriously, I swear he’s been teetering on the edge of being my husbando from this show, but since he’s so subservient, it’s a bit of a hard concept to grasp. Not to mention the guy is, what, 14…?)

Even the shadows of background characters are blue and pink…

The little arrow over Clara really sells the moment.

The bird is so cute~!

I only realised it this year, but boba is really in, all over the world, for young people. *stares at all the boba shops that have appeared around my area lately*

I think Ameri = watashi and Iruma = boku. It’s politeness all the way ‘round. I think Sabro might’ve used ore.

“Don’t let go. Desire is your life.” – Sarazanmai ad <- I think this quote is appropriate for this episode.

Oh! We see Kuromu the Akudol in the ED…I didn’t realise that. (<- knows about her due to spoilers)

Oh! I think next episode might be Clara’s seduction class! Ooh! Interesting…

Dr Stone 20

Come to the dark side, we have candy…amirite???

Dr Stone 21

The pun here is that tou is a way to pronounce “copper” and “steal”, so Chrome copped copper in the Eng subs.

Couldn’t Ginro just use the word “s***” instead? That would’ve made the pun a lot better, tbh.

Thy translated all the dialogue in the fake menus! Yay! (<- translator’s brain showing up) For instance, Senku’s attack is listed as 1 while Suika’s is 3 and Gen’s is 5…LOL. The one that really made me laugh was “Runs away the second he knows he’s at a disadvantage. You’re scum, Ginro!”

Magma wasn’t in the fake game menu…!!! (I like how Magma questioned how Senku suddenly started calling him a “friend”.)

No Guns Life 7

I feel like the length of time between distracting the guard and Tetsuro conveying his plan was a bit much, but…okay.

Shinchou Yuusha 7

LOL, Beel Bub…y’know, Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies.

If Seiya were watching No Guns Life, he’d freak out…

Is that Cerceus in the back-yep, thought so!

Shinchou Yuusha 8

I almost expected Rosalie to woof…that’s how doglike she is!

Why do I get the feeling we’ll 1) find out what the Warmaster looks like next ep and 2) find out Rosalie’s armour is actually the armour Seiya’s meant to look for…? I could be wrong, but my intuition has some chance of being correct, even if I think up stuff that’s pure speculation…

Stars Align 6

Does Yonex sponsor this show, like Mikasa for Harukana Receive…?

LOL, Mitsue’s reaction.

If this were the Amazing Race, the hometown advantage would suck…but this is Hoshiai no Sora, so this could go either way.

“How to Soft Tennis” indeed…sic.

Wait, who’s Takada…? Update: She’s on the girls’ team, IIRC.

The Takenouchi/Souga pair is a bunch of trolls…LOL.

Oji seems to be the leader, full stop. Same way Katsuragi has been running things.

It’s been a few weeks since I last watched this show, but…is Oji the guy who threatened to punch them all…? He is, isn’t he…?

Stars Align 7

I feel like Mitsue’s bitterness is fuelled by personal experience in the manga field…

Well, the guy’s name isn’t Arashi (storm) for nothing! Update: The guy’s name is in katakana, which may or may not prove my point…

Arashi’s surname sounds like the Japanese word for “prince”, if you’re wondering.

I LOLled so hard at the line “Versus Arashi?” Y’see, there’s this game show with a group called Arashi. Therefore, its name is “Versus Arashi”.

I learnt most of what I know about tennis from Wii Sports, LOL.

I mentally cringed when I saw Itsuki’s burns again…

“…years and experience.” – That’s two things, Tacky!

Souya from Planet With would be in heaven here…what with all this meat.

Doesn’t “Kamuy” mean “god” in Ainu…? That Ouji, so conceited! *huffs at how arrogant the boy is*

Girls do eat like fiends…LOL.

I can’t believe 7 episodes in real life time was only a month in Stars Align time…

Yuta’s really sensitive to Toma’s mood…probably because the former likes the latter. (Yeah, I’m a derp for saying what we already know.)

Stars Align 8

I-I wanna cry…you do realise I gave up piano halfway through high school, only to become an absolute bum when I got into higher levels because I can’t use my piano lessons to demonstrate I can manage my time responsibly anymore???? I quit Chinese the same year and now it’s the one thing that’s preventing me from getting a bunch of beneficial opportunities because now there are so many Chinese people in my region! Studies are not your life! (distant crying can be heard in the background)

I kinda get where the mother’s going with this, but knowing what I know…please compromise, you two.

“The handsome half” – I wasn’t sure what that meant until I saw the image…”half” meaning ha-fu, or a person who’s half Japanese half something else. It’s like calling someone gweilow in Cantonese –it’s vaguely derogatory at the very minimum.

*Yuta’s sisters suggest clothes for him to wear* “Don’t tell mom about this.” – Oh, I have a bad feeling about this…(Then again, I got vaguely spoiled for this point by the This Week in Anime segment…that’s why I decided to watch 3 episodes in one shot.)

Maki’s shirt says “to continue”, as if it’s echoing his nonchalance. Like, “Yuta, please continue” or something like that.

To be real with you, the first resource I consulted to start thinking about the LGBTIQ+ spectrum (outside gender-bending fiction) was a book about an FtM person, so I guess I’m the most used to that sort of thing.

This is why empathy is so good, Maki.

Go, Mitsue! Be the diversion!

Who’s “Kanacat”? Kanako?...Oh, it’s Mitsue. Rigggggggggght.*facepalm*

Why do I get the feeling Mitsue wants to join the soft tennis club…?

Sakurai-sensei’s glasses are all fogged up, LOL.

Ohh (sounds down). These kiddos are soccer nuts.*grumbles about soccer nuts*

Update: To be honest with you, I’m fine with not making hard gender decisions too…Just so you know.

The wonderful world and story of Natsume Yuujinchou

GLast year, in the middle of my final exams, I was scrolling down on Facebook when I saw a picture. It was an animation of this strangely beautiful creature;  It was something like a long-pink/purple haired horse, with a lot of earrings and disturbing mental face expression. One of his/its hands were human’s, and the other one, a hoof. It reminded me - in some twisted way i cannot explain - to the typical Japanese animal-type youkais or ayakashis, like spirited away dragon, or maybe it was the type of creature that could be a boss fight in  Legend of Zelda or FF title .

Anyway, it immediately caught my attention, driving me instantly to look for it, the information the image could give me was the subtitle “die you inferior creatures” (which caught my attention even more) and the description: “Misuzu”, so I googled the name and what I got was this Clannad-like kawaii female character. After researching and researching, I finally found what I was looking for, and today I couldn’t feel more grateful. The awesome creature Misuzu was a secondary character of an anime called “Natsume Yuujinchou”; I’d never heard or read anything about it before, so the first thing I did was to look for its opening (the fire test for me), and It was beautiful. There was this regular boy (not a husbando type), with a kawaii cat and lots and lots of creatures like Misuzu, some looked human, another animal, other ghostly, other indescriptible. I looked for the plot and it seemed simple, and kind of “Meh” to me: the life of a boy who was born with the ability of see youkais. 

Even so, I decided to give it a shot, and some days later I asked my best friend to watch the first episodes with me. We saw like 5, and they were cute and calmed, nothing out of this world. It was about the regular-looking boy Natsume Takashi, who inherits a book in which the name of the spirits her grandmother defeated (apparently, she had the ability too) were written, and different stories that happened as he returned the spirits their names. At first I thought It would be a series for me to kill some time, nothing important; it had 5 seasons and the episodes didn’t have a continued line I had to follow, its episodic. So, just a distraction. Except it wasn’t. As I kept watching the episodes, they slowly started to snag my heart, until at the end, I realized they had owned it completely. 

I don’t want to do any spoilers, so I only want to talk about the generality of the series. I’m not analyzing it or making any kind of theoric contrast; as ridiculous as it sounds, this is just my heart speaking for me. Natsume Yuujinchou it’s a shoujo, but not a romantic one. It is about emotions, the purest reflect of feelings I’ve ever seen. Sad, deeply sad emotions, but truly beautiful emotions too. In his quest of giving the youkais their name back, he comes across other problems youkais have. These youkais are different among each other, - the variety is overwhelming-, and so are they problems, but Natsume always tries to be help. The youkai part of the series may not be realistic, but Natsume it’s so real it hurts… He is kindness personified, with all the vulnerability kindness brings. Loneliness, grief and fear are central in the series, but also the way Natsume deals with it.  He explores what his feelings were, what they could be, or maybe what they are and what they aren’t. His development within the seasons its marvelous, and so it is the development of the other main character: Nyanko sensei. I read in some webpage Sensei was a “Deus ex machina in the form of a chubby cat, who is actually the most ferocious wolf”, and I couldn’t agree more. He helps Natsume, forming this unique, delicate and sometimes quite humorous bond with him.

The music is magnificent in every way. I loved the openings, the endings, the atmospheric sound, the filling melodies, it all fit so good with everything in the series.

I downloaded the piano collections and now it’s my favorite studying, sleeping, eating... living music. In the moments, the series gifted me in which my heart just couldn’t soften more, the music achieved to melt it completely.

The animation is, for me, perfect. The colors, the lines, the character design, the background design, the houses, the trees, the plants, the animals, the food (oh my god, the food), and the youkais (oh MY GOD, the youkais) were absolutely wonderful. The Japanese folklore and the esthetics just works so good <3 This anime isn’t for everyone. I have recommended it to a lot of people and only one person feels the same as me. Even so, I don’t care.

I think it has something to offer for everyone, especially for me… for me, it’s a treasure, a true gem; I actually think I’ve become a better person thanks to Natsume. It gives you… I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s like it gives you the feeling of wanting to BE good, be kind. But what I like the most is that. Although how beautiful the series is, it doesn’t give you the message that if you have the purpose, you can achieve what you want. Its more real than that, it shows issues about growing up, about human cruelty and sadness, about love, friendship, family, human relationships and not-existing but same as real – in terms of emotions -youkai relationships. It reflects so good human nature.

I hope that someone feels the same as I do when I see Natsume, its truly something good (but I must warn you, tears are guaranteed). Oh, and also, season six (Natsume Yuujinchou Roku) is currently on air <3 So, yes, Tuesdays are the only thing I’m looking for right now, in the middle of a crappy semester. Thank you for so much, Natsume ~

ps. im sorry if i wasted someone’s time, this post is actually blubbering of someone who cannot get over her favorite series.

ps2. I haven’t read the manga, so I don’t know anything about the contrast of the anime with it

-Well, It took me like 20 minutes to get this post done, because it has some really nasty format problems, but I ended up winning... Although some image or paragraph could be a little changed, it happen because I didn’t notice...

Anyways, great post, It’s a whole story on it’s own and this are the kind of things I like to see in the posts... But yeah, nothing to say here, except keep the good work and I hope to see more of you soon.
