higuruma and his nerdy assistant...................... you're always on time, you bring him coffee even though he says you don't have to do that, you finish all of your work without a single complaint or problem, you keep your desk and everything around you clean – you're literally the perfect employee.

and you're so sweet, too.

you're always asking about his weekends in the most polite manner while sliding your glasses up your nose and you always give him a sheepish smile whenever he asks about yours in return because you're a little embarrassed to admit that you spent the entire time playing this new game you've just bought.

and he really likes that.

he might seem like he wouldn't be into that but in reality, he would kill to just have a lazy weekend.

with you.

he inquires about the game and at first you think he's fucking with you but he's being so incredibly serious and sincere about it that you have no other option than to just... ramble his ears off.

you try to make it quick because you're scared that you're wasting his time meanwhile he's sipping on his coffee and making mental notes of everthing you say. he wants to learn about the game, he wants to learn about what you like.

to say that you were surprised when he comes to ask about something very specific about the very same game a few days later is putting it very mildly. but again – he's so fucking serious about it.

you stare at him with big, wide eyes as you listen to him talk about what he learned last night and then you're asking him whether he wants to come over the next weekend—

your big and wide eyes grown even bigger and even wider, and the shock of hearing the question leave your own mouth has you stunned. that's way too far. you've crossed a line because that's your employer, that's your boss. he's just trying to be nice, to make small talk, and you're inviting him over? this is unacceptable. what do you mean 'oh, do you want to come to my place? at the weekend. when you're supposed to be resting, when you're supposed to be away from work. god, you've really messed up now, he's going to think you're weird and—

"yeah, why not?"

you can't detect a single hint of a joke.

"i'll bring the food? chinese, perhaps?"

you think your heart is about to give out.

"i think that'd be lovely."

the small smile he gives you is enough to let you know that he really does mean it, that he's being serious.

he steps away from your desk as if nothing happened and then disappears into his office, leaving you standing there like an awestruck teenager who's just figured out what having a crush really means.

Have you come up with anything cool or anything you want to talk about for your OCs recently? :p

Recently my tabaxi monk named Miromi crushed our bard’s dreams of being a comedian… she doesn’t understand sarcasm and said he isn’t funny. He crossed it off his bucket list and everything 😭

MICKEY'S SELFSHIP STATISTICS: ALTERNATE WORLDS

▹ miji - detective au; he's the grumpy and older, more experienced one and i am the weird new guy who manages to surprise everybody with my skills (i am autistic)

▹ mitoru - con-artists au; aka idiots in crime. we keep fucking each other over but there are no hard feelings other than the lovesick ones. i hate to admit that we do work really well together though......... but we're not partners. we are not. we're not. (he disagrees)

▹ mizai - office au; he doesn't seem to be working ever, just constantly bugging his coworkers instead of actually sitting down to do anything. he's also blatantly following me around the building; if i go to the cafe, he's in the cafe. if i go to the printer room, he's suddenly now in the printer room. he's really annoying and when i realized that i might have a crush on him i actually just slapped myself.

▹ misu - apocalypse au; please don't make me go into detail abt this i don't think it'll end well.

▹ mikuna - pirate au; he's the captain and i sneak on board his ship and just pretend that i've been there the whole time. of course he notices right away, but he doesn't say anything bc he's a little shit like that. gives me some gnarly tasks just to try and push my buttons, he wants to see for how long i'll keep this up before trying to just jump ship the next time we board but i never do. he has an eyepatch. i fear that i am his main entertainment there.

▹ michuu - bodyguard au; he's just trying to do his job but ever since i found out that he blushes kind of easily, i haven't stopped trying to make it happen over and over again. he's really sweet though. i think he likes me<3

▹ mihime - royalty au; the princess and her devoted knight. a brat and her loyal dog. but she's very easy to tease and she gets really easily flustered aswell and i just love love love her cute little angry face. it's very obvious that she has a crush on me:333

▹ misho - partners in crime au; but the crimes are way more serious than mitoru's theft and robbery:33333 let's just say we get our hands dirty a lot, yeah? (something ghostface duo something something)

▹ miwa - volleyball rivals to lovers au; he underestimates my darling smile and gets his ass beat in a match and he's not the same after that. plans for a death rematch but then finds himself getting pushed against the wall in between games with me inches away from his flushed face. (he is a loser)(i will make him my boyfriend)

▹ miten - strangers stuck in a lift together au; this is not an actual au i realize but i am still going to call it that nonetheless. it's only the two of us in there and we're both trying to act very cool bc the other person is so good-looking and so neither of us want to embarrass ourselves. but we are in there for like literal hours and so by the end of it we're making jokes about dying then and there and it's just the perfect way for us to bond, yk? he asks for my number when we finally get out (he stutters just a little).

▹ miromi - meet-ugly au; another one that's not really an au but just a trope buuut fuck it we ball. we run into each other at the grocery store and he drops his carton of eggs all over the floor (and me). and this happens more than once. one time i dropped a can of soda and it just exploded fucking all over the place. oh and btw we both always clean it up ourselves, so now just imagine this tired looking guy in a full suit mopping up soda alongside with a tired looking guy in hello kitty pants. it's uhh.. very romantic<3

A new online anime festival promises to broaden horizons

Even in normal times, new anime releases are often difficult to come by. Often restricted by limited theatrical windows, new releases come and go in the blink of an eye, making it tricky for new audiences to find a way in.

Anime Limited, one of the UK’s main distributors of the medium, is looking to solve two problems at once with their new online film festival Screen Anime, as CEO Andrew Partridge says, by “[taking] the film festival experience online, and at the same time [addressing] a gap we recognise from fan feedback in how theatrical anime is released to date.”

The new online festival will have a rolling curation of anime titles, updated every month along with fan events. It’s a great opportunity to become acquainted with a wider range of Japan’s animation output. For the festival’s launch, here’s a quick primer for the first selection of films:

Penguin Highway (2018)

You might not guess it from the title, but Hiroyasu Ishida’s Penguin Highway, Beautifully animated and smartly adapted Tomihiko Miromi’s science fiction novel, the story follows young Aoyama as he works to solve the mysterious appearance of penguins in his village, linked to a young woman working at the local dentist. It’s reminiscent of the work of Studio Ghibli, with its delicate score, precocious but complicated children and patient approach its main mystery which is intertwined with nature. Bringing equal amounts of silliness and sincerity to its zany premise, this might be the best starting place for those still looking for a route in to anime.

Promare (2019)

An “exciting cacophony of flames, robots, chiselled torsos and ridiculous catchphrases” (words I stand by!), Promare is a complete whirlwind of a film from the young Studio Trigger. Directed by studio co-founder Hiroyuki Imaishi, Promare is an impressive, mostly successful attempt to fully merge 2D and 3D modes of animation. Its unrestrained and self-aware antics are intoxicating, not least of all in its central (often homoerotic) rivalry between bone-headed firefighter Galo and mutant ally Lio Fotia. Ridiculous fun, and a great example of new potential avenues for visual expression in anime.

Patema Inverted (2013)

A post-apocalypse anime about the world quite literally being turned upside down, Patema Inverted makes a surprisingly effective allegory for isolationism out of its unusual premise as it details the persecution of “Inverts”, people forced to hide underground after a strange calamity. Writer/director Yasuhiro Yoshiura does well to keep their audience guessing with a number of elegantly executed twists, that will leave most unsure as to where is up and where is down. That the story is somewhat held together by contrivances feels unimportant, as every moment of empathy is well-earned.

Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêmaise (1987)

Though it’s probably the oldest and deepest cut in this initial line-up, Royal Space Force is far from a relic. Brought to life by a veritable stable of talent including Ryuchi Sakamoto and Hideaki Anno, director Hiroyuki Yamaga explores a world where the space race and colonial attitudes towards it possess a religious fervour. Rough-edged and deliberately paced, it can be a rocky viewing experience – due in no small part to a scene of sexual assault which is troublingly swept aside – but for the most part, it’s a thoughtful, sometimes beautiful interrogation of the socio-political cost of technological progress.

Screen Anime launches on 25 May at screenanime.com

Sapori d'oriente: la salsa di soia

La salsa di soia o shoyu è un ingrediente tipico della gastronomia asiatica ottenuto dalla fermentazione della soia e del grano.

Nasce in Cina, ma si diffonde in tutto l'oriente, con consistenza e gusto differenti in base al luogo di produzione. Il tamari, ad esempio, è un tipo di shoyu usato in Giappone che ha la caratteristica di essere privo di glutine e quindi adatto ai celiaci (è consigliabile comunque leggere molto bene le etichette dei prodotti diffusi in Europa in quanto spesso utilizzano in modo improprio il termine tamari e possono contenere ingredienti diversi da quelli tradizionali).

La salsa di soia, quella vera, è tutta naturale. Gli ingredienti sono solo cinque: fagioli di soia, grano, lievito (come fermento viene utilizzato un fungo filamentoso detto Aspergillus oryzae o koji ), sale marino e acqua. La soia, dopo essere stata risciacquata e messa in ammollo, viene cotta in acqua bollente per 4 ore, mentre i chicchi di grano vengono tostati e frantumati in un mulino in modo da aumentare la superficie a disposizione del lievito. Quando la soia è raffreddata alla temperatura di 33°C si unisce al grano e al lievito; le proporzioni di questi tre ingredienti sono cruciali ma sono tenute segrete dalle diverse aziende produttrici. Il tutto viene lasciato in incubazione per circa due giorni all'interno di contenitori di legno, facendo attenzione che la temperatura non aumenti troppo. È noto da secoli che il fattore temperatura è fondamentale per garantire la buona riuscita della fermentazione, ma è grazie alla moderna tecnologia che se ne è scoperta la ragione: mantenere una temperatura al di sotto dei 40°C garantisce la massima produzione di idrolasi extracellulari da parte del fungo. Una indicazione che il procedimento è andato a buon fine si ha quando la superficie della miscela è ricoperta da un sottile strato di muffa bianca senza segni di contaminazioni da altre specie del genere Aspergillus (queste si presenterebbero di colore scuro, verde o nero).

Al termine della fermentazione si aggiunge una salamoia (costituita da sale e acqua) e quindi il tutto è lasciato fermentare all'interno di vecchie botti di legno per 6-12 mesi, a seconda dell'intensità del sapore che si vuole ottenere. La miscela così ottenuta, detta miromi, deve essere rimescolata spesso, soprattutto all'inizio, per fare in modo che il lievito resti attivo. L'impasto risultante, dall'aspetto poco gradevole, viene filtrato e il liquido così ottenuto è sottoposto a pastorizzazione. La parte solida rimasta viene in genere utilizzata come mangime per animali.

Il gusto tipico di questa salsa è noto con il termine umami ed è determinato da una serie di composti tra cui l'acido glutammico e l'acido aspartico derivanti dall'idrolisi enzimatica delle proteine della soia e dal glutine del frumento.

Purtroppo oggi in Europa non è infrequente trovare prodotti a basso costo preparati a partire non da soia intera, come vuole la tradizione, ma da proteine idrolizzate con l'aggiunta di caramello per mimare il colore originale.

La salsa di soia è un ottimo insaporitore, da usare comunque con moderazione in quanto molto salata; va aggiunta a fine cottura per preservarne le proprietà e poi deve essere conservata in frigorifero.
