Okay, you weeaboo shits, it's poll time because we're gonna be happy and watch anime

I am six episodes away from finishing Banana Fish and we are gonna get it finished tonight. I swear. So, poll commence.

If you're new here, this is my anime post. Tumblr picks what I watch from the few options I cobble into a poll.

Here's the deal: As always, there will be propaganda* (*helpful information, but also pointless yapping) below the poll. You're allowed to reblog and yap in tags or bully your followers into voting for your choice. Finally, You do not have to know me, follow me, like me, or like/know/have watched any of the options to vote. Pick a button! Cause chaos! Just do whatever! Woooo!

**Also, watch out for real propaganda that's actually propaganda and not my stupid rambles, and take care of yourselves and survive out of sheer spite if nothing else, ok, love you, byeee.**

Propaganda:

One Piece: Ngl, fam, I've been wanting to watch more One Piece for a **while** including but not limited to having my sweet Sanji cameo-ing in my dreams, like at night. Other Straw Hats were there, but the heart wants what it wants. This poll option will count for Season 7 (196-228 + movies in that stretch) of One Piece.

Sailor Moon: I'm running out of Sailor Moon lyrics to put in the poll buttons. Soon, I'm gonna have to start putting actual effort in. This poll option will count for Season 2 of Sailor Moon (Sailor Moon R).

Fairy Tail: Edolas arc is, truly, one of my favourite arcs. And for the price of one (1) vote for this arc, I will offer you two (2) seasons. This poll option will count for Seasons 3 and 4 (73-125 + Phoenix Priestess) of Fairy Tail.

Given: I just watched a gay anime, this is more gay anime. Do what you will with that.

Nichijou - My Ordinary Life: Everything I learn about this anime is so compellingly weird (/affectionate).

Talentless Nana: Look, as you can see from the poll button, I'm sold.

Notable And Underrated Anime That Have Excellent English Dubs, In My Opinion - A List (With Some Extra Banter or Whatever)

The works of Shinichirō Watanabe, ranging from Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, and Carole & Tuesday (so much so that they're better off disqualified from lists likes this, due to being way too obvious choices... moving on)

FLCL (heck, would even say the same to the otherwise derivative Progressive and Alternative)

The Read or Die OVA, alongside its sequel series R.O.D the TV (so good, that even the likes of Yomiko "The Paper" Readman changing accents actually doesn't feel as jarring as I thought it would be)

Azumanga Daioh (on a side note, Ayumu "Osaka" Kasuga sounds a bit like Steven Universe's Amethyst and The Owl House's Vee Noceda; can't really say why)

Lucky Star (so, which part of the Choco cornets should we eat first?)

Nichijou ('nuff said)

K-On!/K-On!! (might sound a bit jarring if one also watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica on the English dub (a bit good, but nothing compared to the Rebellion movie and maybe the compilation films; case in point, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki, and Azusa Nakano are Homura Akemi, Kyubey, -bloody- Hitomi Shizuki, and Madoka Kaname respectively)

Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan (kinda sucks that the two compilation movies don't have dubs; would have loved seeing the extra hamminess of the characters' English voices in those)

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water - ADV (even if the occasional accents are inaccurate, the emotional delivery of the VAs is hard to deny, especially the vile Gargoyle's)

Kill la Kill (if one has witnessed it, then you know that they sure had a lot of fun playing the characters in this extremely fun gainaxy romp)

Toradora! (...basically the closest we get to seeing Madoka verbally beat down Kyubey in romance and stuff)

Ghost in the Shell, both the movie duology (1 and 2: Innocence) and Stand Alone Complex, including the Tachikomatic Days extras and the Solid State Society movie (so much so that the latter's DVDs are mostly set with the English dub on default, reportedly even in Japan)

REDLINE (can't speak enough for it so to describe its epicness)

Dead Leaves (you can actually watch it on YouTube... it might overwhelm you)

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt (telling that it's way more raunchy than even the original Japanese)

Golden Boy (you know, at least the show didn't continue on, lest it might have gotten way too weirder like the manga it's adapted from)

Black Lagoon (so good, that it resulted with the Roberta's Blood Trail OVAs having the cast reprise their roles due to fan demand)

Excel Saga and Puni Puni Poemy (so madcap, the former's titular character's VA broke her voice halfway through the show)

Honorable mentions:

Neon Genesis Evangelion - particularly the ADV dub, with Manga Entertainment's efforts on The End of Evangelion and the Director's Cut versions of Episodes 21-24 (it might be correctly deemed as flawed, but nowadays, it sure has proven its worth, albeit at the cost of the Netflix dub being derided as lacking in emotion and perhaps also nuance)

The Manga Entertainment dubs for the Patlabor movie duology (a shame the OVA series preceding it doesn't share the same cast, while the Patlabor TV series dub... eludes me)

GaoGaiGar (flaw: it's unfinished, and thus never even reached the FINAL parts)

In the meantime, hopeful readers, feel free to put on personal recommendations, in case there'll be a second part, if not a commenter's edition.

Hiroko Utsumi Interview (SK8 the Infinity Official Guide Book)

Thank you... for loving SK8!*

Director Hiroko Utsumi

PROFILE

Animation director, producer, and animator. She directed the Free! series and BANANA FISH, and was in charge of production on K-On!, Nichijou (My Ordinary Life, Hyouka, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and others.

—First, how are you feeling now that episode 12 has finished airing?

Right after it aired, I felt like crazily dancing flamenco, but now enough time has passed that I've calmed down. Still, I keep thinking "We really finished it~!"

—Do you have any favorite episodes, or scenes that left an impression on you?

Personally, I naturally have the strongest attachment to episode 1, which I storyboarded and produced. At that point, I was fumbling through without being certain exactly what this work was going to be. The ending gave me a lot of trouble, but the image of "white snow falling in Okinawa" surpassed my expectations, and is my favorite part even now. That image is like a snow crystal formed by the professionals in each department, which can only exist through animation.

—Can you tell us about the appeal of skateboarding we felt in the series?

It made me feel like "skating is so cool!" all over again! I was convinced it was a theme that could really shine in anime, and I only felt that even more as the series continued. That heart-pounding feeling, the speed, the coolness of tricks. I'm glad I was able to portray the appeal of skating through anime.

—Are there any secret stories from production you can reveal to us now?

ADAM and Langa's white-hot BEEF scene in the last episode. At first, Kobayashi-san played Langa with a powerful air, like he was fighting, but the sound director, Masafumi Mima-san, directed him, "Do it like he's cuddling up to ADAM", and made me feel, "Yes, yes! That's exactly it!"... but after that, we went with intense background music that would suit an action scene, so the lack of tension in his voice ended up not matching up... so in the end Langa's voice was revised to sound like he was fighting again. I wanted everyone to hear the incredibly rare Langa cuddling up to ADAM...!

—Were there any episodes or behind-the-scenes developments that you hated to cut? (lit. "cut while crying")

In the original scenario, during the part of the plot where Langa is rapidly becoming obsessed with ADAM, there was a part where ADAM was going to carry Langa off to his vacation house, and Reki was going to be shocked to see the two of them having fun skating together, but... I felt like that wasn't the right direction, so I had the plot changed to what it is now. There are a lot of scenes where I wonder how things would have turned out if they'd been in the original work. If Kikuchi's "yes!" in the last episode was "woof!"... for example. (laughter)

—What were your impressions of the casting and the voice actors' performances?

Everyone played their unique characters with such splendid individuality, and conveyed the characters' charm in a way that you can't with just visuals, so I enjoyed the recording for every episode. The other day I went back to listen to Hatanaka-san and Kobayashi-san's audition tapes again, and Reki hasn't changed at all! Hatanaka-san never wavers~! I admired that. Meanwhile Langa was like a completely different person! (laughter) Langa in the audition was sharp and sarcastic, and gave off an ice-like impression, but he's changed so much up until now~! It was really moving to hear that. Now, he's like powder snow. (laughter)

—With production, props, character designs and the like, was there anything you were especially particular about?

Speaking generally, a main facet of production is pacing. It's a really important part of film-making; if the pacing is good, the work flows smoothly, and when you're watching, before you know it, it's over! I like series with that kind of good tempo to them, so I paid attention to every episode to make sure that the pacing felt good. As for the character designs, I was careful to make sure they were very unique, but also balanced. And then there's the difference in their physiques!

—If "S" opened in the real world, what part do you think you'd be most interested in?

I want to say, "Hey, have a BEEF with me!" and "Crush them with that hug, ADAM—!!"

—Can you send a message to all the fans who loved SK8 the Infinity?

Thank you... for loving SK8!* (with a blank expression) When I was working on the original work, there were times when I was BEEFing with production that made me lose the highlights in my eyes in real life, but I was able to get through it thanks to everyone's love. As their creator, I couldn't be happier that people love Reki and Langa and the others in so many different ways. The original series has ended, but their daily lives will surely continue, and we'd be happy if you could watch the series over and over again while imagining them like that. ☆ Thank you so much for watching SK8 the Infinity!

*She is directly quoting Ainosuke's line that is translated as "thank you for loving me", but here the subject is the series, not herself.

Hiiiiii, welcome to part 1 of my Trigun Maximum vol 6 thoughts for @trigunbookclub!

Some thoughts on TriMax chap 34-35 under the cut!

Ah yes, a bit of a recap on what happened in vol 5

Meryl still doesn’t feel well after seeing Vash’s memories and his painful transformation 😔 (I would be too)

Wait,  is that the guy…from episode 3 of ’98 Trigun? 🥺

It seems Vash knows this gunsmith guy.  But in the ’98 anime….he meets the gunsmith guy who was drunk and then they became drunk together

Oho, another bit of Meryl’s past! (Yeah, have y’all seen ep 26 of ’98 Trigun? This is kinda how Vash felt)

Nooooo, the sherif is being mean to Vash :(

Me showing my mom/dad my drawings I drew at school

Oh…it seems I underestimated them 

HERE COMES VASH!! (‘∀’●)♡

"It was nothing but pain, loss and blood" FOR REAL

If somebody can explain this panel to me that’ll be great

Welp, that went well

Wolfwood and Vash lookin’ silly (◕‿◕)♡

Oh my, Wolfwood lookin’ fine ♥（ﾉ´∀`）

Wait what-

WAIT WAIT WAIT- (KNIVES DESTROYED WOLFWOOD’S ORPHANAGE!?!?!)

Goshdarnit, Zazie is still evil. >:( Also woah I think this is the first time the word “Eye of Michael” was used

What what what what what-

So like…Knives told a bunch of people to kill Vash but he told Wolfwood to protect him??? ( Damn bro, imagine your boss told you to be with his brother but the brother became your boyfriend friend)

The way I hyperventilated at this part (Like I was reading this at class and then my friend beside me was like “Gurl, calm down”)

Peace never lasts long in a city when Vash is in it, doesn’t it? (￣ε￣ )

Me on my way to hug the kid who’s 2 grades lower than me and have my mom’s nickname

Okay so Vash was fighting a bad guy and VOOSH!! WOLFWOOD CAME TO HELP!! (≧▽≦)

YOOOOOOO

(Pic from Nichijou) OH MY GOD…THAT WAS SO BADASS

Welp, all ends that ends well! 

Meanwhile, Meryl and Milly…

That’s all for part 1! (o_ _)ﾉ彡☆  Bonus: Hey so uh…funny thing happened. I joined a Trigun discord server and almost got banned. Like, I woke up this morning then checked discord and there was a message from the Trigun discord server owner.

Don’t worry, it was an accident, I apologized and they warned me not to do it again. But MAN, I can’t believe I almost got banned on the first day being in a discord server. I got so guilty that I kinda cried and felt upset at school.

SUMMER ANIME 2024 FINAL THOUGHTS (PART 1)

So just like last season, I'm gonna put here a post with my final thoughts of every anime I saw this season and just like last season, I'm gonna start with the ones I dropped so yeah, let's begin!

Mayonaka Punch: Don't get me wrong, it was good but I was getting busier and when I noticed I was like 4 episodes behind lol, what I saw was good so I'll come back in the future surely. Also just wanted to say that this anime had my favorite ending of the entire season lol, it's just so cute and the spoken word like song is one that I really enjoyed

Suicide Squad Isekai: Okay, maybe I shoul've given this the 3 episode rule but counterpoint, I wasn't even liking the first episode at all lol

I just found it boring while watching it and why force myself into watching something I'm not enjoying? so yeah I dropped it lol. Two good things from the series tho: One, Harley Quinn's design looks super cute and two, the ending was such a banger it's crazy. Other than that yeah I didn't like it so it was dropped

Okay, now we can truly begin:

MY DEER FRIEND NOKOTAN

Shikanoko Nokonoko Koshitantan

Okay, was this a disappointment? I don't think so, was it the greatest anime of the season? not at all lol.

Honestly I saw someone say a few days ago that ''the show peaked at episode 1'' and it is kinda true, episode 1 came in really hard and made everyone thought this was gonna be the next Nichijou or Pop Team Epic... And in the following episodes it became more and more clear this was gonna be a SoL anime with the absurd humor being somewhat relevant at times.

In my opinion once you get out of your head that the show is gonna be absurd humor with tons of changes and just see it as a Slice of Life with random elements the anime becomes much better, and even then from episode 5 onwards it found a good balance of chill and absurd which I liked in the end. The OP was a banger, the ED was fun, and each episode had at least one joke that made me chuckle so yeah, while not as good as it was hyped up at the beginning it still was quite fun in the end.

VTUBER LEGEND

I started watching this 'cause the premise looked kinda fun and after watching it, I think this might be my 2nd favorite anime this season.

I loved this so much, this may be because I was getting more in the vtuber rabbit whole while watching it (two separate things btw, just a coincidence) but this was really, really good. The humor on one hand was most of the times really spot on for me, it really brings that sort of unhinged behavior you can get through Hololive clips, and going outside of it the characters were really lovable too. Really liked everyone in the agency one way or another (even the one who always said that she's a baby lol) they all had good chemistry with Awayuki and even if there were a few that barely appeared in general (the catgirl one rarely appeared and Hikari while being the first properly introduced besides our MC, appeared very briefly throughout the anime) all of them were very likeable in the end.

I also appreciate a lot how this anime did something similar to Chainsaw Man and had a different ending on each episode, it's nice to see and imo it shows that love was poured into the adaptation, the way this wasn't explicitly a gl anime is something that most wouldn't appreciate but imo it's perfect this way, not everything has to revolve between romance to be good and the friends that Awayuki made throughout the series clearly shows it (altho I personally would like the Mashiron x Awayuki ship lol) in the end showing very little to no romantic intentions worked wonderfully here.

Nothing else to say, this was super good and loved it all the way.

SHY 2ND SEASON

more of a 2nd cour but eh, still works good imo lol

Honestly I'm not a big fan of the superhero stuff, but ever since seeing Shy last year I knew this would be something I would adore, the first season was amazing and definitely an underrated gem and this one? this one was just a good

What a banger of a season 2/cour 2, the characters were still on point, the new ones on Ai/Mai/Tokimaru/Century and the new Amalareiks were real good to see and this arc was just super good. I always expect Shy to be just like this season was, starts off slow and steady and it sneakily goes up until it becomes a real gem altogether. Hopefully this gets renewed for a new season 'cause this was really good to follow, for now I'll more than likely go follow the manga from here on out. This was really good.

One thing I forgot to mention is that I really like how there were different EDs here too, not like one each episode but there were a few here and there, which was really cool to see outside of the art that is always resent at the EDs since season 1, nice detail there

Just like last season, the next batch will probably be out next week lol.

Nichijou (2006) - Season 1 Episode 5

[numahachi]

[dailynichijou]

Episode 1, 15:06

[halcydaze]

🦌 Has Nokotan ‘fallen off’? 🦌

Seeing a few comments around the web where people are saying they’ve gotten bored with My Deer Friend Nokotan.

And I totally get it, everyone’s got the right to like what they like.

But I figured I’d give my two cents real quick.

#1 - I went into watching MDFN kinda knowing it was one of those shows that got super overhyped on 1) the viral dance and 2) the wacky premise.

That being said, it’s still been one of the most fun fandoms I’ve joined in a long while and it’s been fun watching the fandom grow and enjoy the show right from Day 1.

#2 - Is it an all-time favorite or even Top 10 anime for me?

Not really, and that’s okay. I think it’s good in today’s world where everything has to have a Marvel level of “ZOMFG!!!” hype to have something just be ‘good’ and fun.

It’s basically been a fun comfort show for me this summer, where I don’t have to overthink things and can just watch, get a few laughs and cute moments and enjoy.

#3 — What do I like about it?

1) The jokes are *very* light and dry on purpose and that’s totally my kind of humor. It reminds me of other ‘random’ slice-of-life anime like Lucky Star and Nichijou where the best jokes usually get a good “…PFFT—😂” if you know what I mean.

2) I LOVE all the characters. Like Lucky Star and Nichijou, the cute little cast of side characters you start to identify with makes it feel like such a cozy show. The Student Council, the Deer Club, the old lady, the cafe owner, Tsunoda-san. I love em all!

3) The general vibe of the show is cute and cozy too. Yes, Koshitan inevitably suffers every episode and I get how some people really can’t handle that ‘second-hand cringe’, but I find that there’s honestly a lot of heart and kindness in the show too (just look at the Bashame/Anko scene this week! Or Neko offering Koshi snacks and water last ep!)

4) And like I said, I love the fandom around it too! Y’all are so fun to share the love of this show and these characters with and I’ve loved having my posts get a lot of feedback and attention too! DEER CLUB FOREVER!

5) Also, side note, I appreciate that, relatively speaking, there’s not a TON of weirdness and fan service in the show either. Yes, there’s Anko. But compared to something like Dragon Maid, the pervy jokes in Nokotan are for real few and far between as far as anime goes.

#4 — Lastly, I read somewhere where someone lightly doubted that we’d get a Season 2. I really hope we do cause of all the reasons above. I’ve watched and rewatched the episodes this summer as much as any anime I’ve followed this anime season. But unfortunately it does seem sometimes like if a show doesn’t hit that Marvel level of hype I mentioned earlier that it can be a struggle to get another season. That being said, I’ve seen references to ‘the dance’ and deer in general a lot around anime spaces this summer, so I hope the attention and hype around the show convinces them to make a Season 2! ✨🦌✨🦌

So yeah, just wanted to get these thoughts outta my head and into the world! Keep on rockin through these last 2 episodes, Shikas! 🦌✨

GTO Review

Great Teacher Onizuka is a beloved and iconic series and in this post I'll talk about both the things I absolutely adored about it and my frustrations.

So, right off the bat I'm gonna mention that I don't often laugh hysterically while watching anime (or anything really) but somehow GTO managed to have a buncha moments so ridiculous that my only possible reaction was pretty much set in stone...

The humour and character writing are both plain genius!! I could never for the life of me predict what Onizuka's next move would be. His recklessness and luck, as well as his gullible and kind nature added a lot to his complexity as a character.

In the artistic department, we got the banger openings and EDs, the on-point animation and variation in facial expressions. In terms of voice acting, every VA fit well and every character's lines were delivered perfectly, tho my personal faves were undeniably Urumi and Miyabi. Kotono Mitsuishi's vocal range and her accurate French pronunciation were a pleasant surprise but I also liked the bite and seriousness Miyabi's voice had, while it was also laced with uncertainty and her screams in that parking lot were simply harrowing ngl, I was 🤏 this close to crying during that scene.

And now, about my frustrations that gave me mixed feelings on the series despite how much I enjoyed every episode, except for the Yoshikawa/Anko part in those last few episodes during the Okinawa arc. It was just unpleasant to watch, honestly. I think Yoshikawa's random personality change and his attitude towards Anko felt out of place, even though it can be ruled out as his pure kindness.

And either way, Giving Mukai and Yoshikawa romantic interests in order to call them "men" as if it's manly to...chase after a girl that's come to terms with the fact that you don't like her and save the one who's made your life living hell from certain death, respectively, just to ditch the subplots altogether and create loose ends kinda sucked tbh. It made me anticipate a lot of stuff that just didn't happen. GTO being a comedy manga (mostly) doesn't really excuse that, as some other series managed pull off some sorta closure to their subplots. My main example is Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou. Unlike with Mukai and Kujirakawa, who only get 1 singular episode together and their relationship never ever sees the light of day, "Literary girl" becomes a running gag in Danshi Koukousei.

Admittedly, I wanted and expected Fuyumi and Onizuka to get together because they're 2 consenting adults which at least kinda have chemistry but I'm convinced that Tooru Fujisawa either:

intended Onizuka to have commitment issues and despite him dealing with other people's problems he never gets his resolved, presumably because he keeps running away from them

struggles to write romantic relationships or doesn't know how to.

Onizuka's struggle to commit to romantic relationships (which is evident in both his relationship with Misato and the one with Fuyutsuki) never gets any closure, from what I've gathered.

The sexism was another thing that occasionally bothered me. While at times the perverted jokes were genuinely well-timed and maybe even funny, other times they felt very awkward, out of place, uncomfortable,, well you get it.

Some things aged poorly, simply put.

especially the ganguro stuff

On another note, the anime's ending kinda left me with a mild sour aftertaste. It felt like an Onizuka thing to do, but at the same time...how and why. Like FYM he's teaching in America now. Dude can't even speak English properly.

It also felt like the ending didn't allow for anything afterwards even tho the manga continues and ngl I'm personally not willing to read it becuz of the ending, Urumi and a few more things that didn't really get resolved.

Either way! It was overall a really fun watch, it gets a 7.8/10 from me
