Norukasoruka!

Norukasoruka have united!

Soruka and Noruka have fused to make the monstrous Norukasoruka! This destructive beast will stop at nothing to get their way.

Will they be able to rampage through the YKWC bracket, or will they suffer the fate of another grand loss.

my insane thoughts on "shifter" by azsagawa

i want to devour this album. i need to taste every inch of this album. i need to be drenched in it so my skin may absorb it. so it may become part of my body forever.

(individual song thoughts below the cut)

- kokuseki (yunosuke) - solid opener. really nice and stylish bop, yunosuke and azsa complement each other so well, i'd dare say azsa is 2nd to wami for suiting his songs.

- lotus (tokiwa) - AMAZING song, tokiwa completely blew me out of the water with this one with how detailed it is. this song is sweet and enticing; the lyrics are just sung so desperately and delicately, and the chorus is so catchy. absolutely one of my favorites on the album.

- black out (SHOW) - following the same style as "kokuseki" in his stylish bop style. although it's not as engaging, this being in-between "lotus" and "koibana" gives my heart a chance to rest and instead just groove. it's like smooth cruising. really good album placing/song order

- koibana (wotaku) - probably the most drastically different song on the album, it uses menacing strings and feels so dramatic and it TARGETS EVERY PART OF MY SOUL AND BEING. the dark strings, the desperate lyrics; it's an insane lovesickness; THE SWORD STABBING SOUND EFFECT TOO?!?!?!??? it's just so good. the way he goes from menacing softness to desperate and harried passion in his voice. it's compositionally SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!! as far as i can tell, it's about a sick & dying girl that the singer is in love with and wants to die next to her, feels the same pain as her

- kiminodoku (higma) - pulls the emotion back, more laid back and a bit more relaxed; but the lyrics are still following the same thread of "love" and heart pains. it almost feels sad in a way, like rain falling down? "kimi no doku" means "your poison." there's a lyric where it's like "i've become your poison." his voice here is just... i can't describe it. it's a bit more laid back and lower in pitch and tone than his usual high pitch

- mirage (suisoh) - THIS SONG IS SO FUCKING SEXY AND SEDUCTIVE it's a total bop too and like. the way he uses the whisper and breaths IS SO FUCKING ADDICTING. the title is actually "souou" which can mean "togetherness" but lyrically it's a pun on "mousou" (mirage.) implying the love or scene is like a "mirage." the way his singing here feels like you can almost taste it too, and fitting because there's a lyric where it's like, "hey, what lipstick are you wearing, what does it taste like? tell me" which is. obviously an invitation to kiss and I'M JUST. FUUUUUCK. his technique here is on point he's showing off and it's so fucking hot.

- yudotou (是) - like i said, in terms of album placing, this feels like you're ascending to heaven. it's a slower paced song, but the harmonies are so beautiful and heavenly. it's a song that really just feels like heaven... it's so nice. it's really nice. i've come around on this song because of the album

- nerve (azsagawa) - he wrote this himself! another favorite on the album, with lotus, koibana, and mirage. really great and beautiful song with enthralling pianos, i really think since he wrote this himself, this is the most personal song on the album; the song that is PURE azsagawa and his expression. it's really special because of that, i think. it's exciting in an almost ethereal way? god i just can't describe it. it's closer to a typical jpop/jrock or anime op/ed than everything else on this album, but it's just so. much more beautifully expressive in its own way? god. i love it. i really love. piano work here is absolutely fucking amazing. and his vocals too feel more "middle ground" or "default expression" for him but that doesn't mean it's mid. it feels most authentic actually.

- noruka/soruka (police piccadilly) another amazing bop from police piccadilly; azsa nails the addictive and catchy articulation in his pronunciation. chorus feels like you're riding or moving or soaring. matches the more stylish EDM vibes of the beginning of the album -- kokuseki, lotus, black out.

- paranoia (azsagawa & yunosuke) - starting with yunosuke and ending with yunosuke. hearing "nerve" before to get a style for azsa's own songwriting style, you can hear azsa's influence in yunosuke's style here. back to the stylish EDM bops but it's a bit more textured or complex here. really cements the vibes of the album as a good ending song; once again, they work really nicely together. the song ends on a pleasant chord. emotionally ties things up really nicely and beautifully from the preceding intensity of koibana - kiminodoku - mirage - yudotou - nerve. it almost sounds like a sendoff or ED song in some ways? so yeah it works well as the album's ender. although not the best album ender in existence imo (that goes to arcadia in joucho's "creation")

okay that's all i'm insane i love azsa

[fzkr-sndr049]

TOBIA - Nostalgia

Azsagawa - Noruka//Soruka

Shido - Reimei

my fav songs from sinsekai's modern supernatural trio (tobia, azsagawa, shido)... i call em that cuz their aura screams "entities who exist in a future world"

tobia fits as a joseung saja (korean grim reaper) cuz his outfit looks like one

based on azsa's concept, he's probably based on a god--- i was thinking he's a tengu, but him as star god aurvandil or sun god ra would also make sense

and it's obvious shido is a fox spirit

Some thoughts on the new YYH OVAs

Lots of spoilers if you've never read the manga, slightly fewer spoilers if you have, but I talk about differences between the two so if you don't wanna know before you see it yourself SPOILER

The following is mostly observations on technical and visual storytelling things I find interesting. 

Voice acting. (I did amateur voice acting as a kid but I didn’t keep that up and obviously I’m super NOT a pro, so apologies if some of the following technical terminology use is not quite right.) Chiba Shigeru (Kuwabara) and Hiyama Nobuyuki (Hiei) are pretty consistent with their original voices from over two decades ago, which is pretty amazing in and of itself. Ogata Megumi (Kurama) and Sasaki Nozumu (Yusuke) have both drifted somewhat more noticeably for me.

In Ogata Megumi’s case, she's gotten so much more experience since her original breakout role, and is even more skilled at hitting and working through the tonal range/vocal register for a male character. This made it extra entertaining listening to TWO SHOTS since this is supposed to be a younger version of Kurama lol.

Sasaki Nozomu's voice seems to have changed a bit in the last decade or so. I hadn't been paying much attention to seiyuu stuff for a long time but I first really noticed a few years back when J Stars Victory VS came out (one of the Shounen Jump crossover fighting games) and I was watching trailers with Yusuke in them and was aurally thrown off. He had a pretty distinct voice with an unusual timbre that made me able to recognize him in almost anything I heard him in to the point where watching a Rurouni Kenshin OVA or hearing Cloud Strife yelling and grunting in Ehrgeiz made me go HEY THAT'S SASAKI NOZOMUUUUU!!!111. But I can't do it with his current take; it’s different. Or maybe I'm just old and out of touch now. lmao

Transitions and changes. 25 years later, animation technology has of course evolved hahaha. One thing I really noticed was how much more animation of the background it felt like there was compared to the original series, especially full-on rotations like when Kurama detects Hiei’s presence, or when Yatsude actually appears.

I'm fascinated by how things are adapted for different media and how the animators fill in the gaps between panels and sequences - I just love seeing what they come up with that didn’t exist in the original. So I was much more interested in Noruka Soruka than TWO SHOTS, the latter of which has already been tackled in other versions before. But all that said, and maybe this was a result of my expectations - I was actually pretty pleasantly surprised at the level of new tweaks they DID bring to the table in TWO SHOTS, and in some ways maybe more so than Noruka Soruka. I thought TWO SHOTS tackled adaptation challenges/changes exceptionally well. I also liked their decision to drop a less critical sequence (Maya's arrival at Yatsude’s) and give more focus to Kurama and Hiei's coordination during their fight VS Yatsude. And I really liked the use of colour! The contrast between the warm sunset palettes in Kurama’s “everyday” world/school life and the cold palette of the warehouse, for example. I found it really nicely executed. 

I had a lot of fun noting keyframes based on the manga, particularly parts that are flipped compared to the original panels. Decisions in comics paneling are generally based around how the artist wants to guide the eye for reading (e.g., characters facing towards the direction the reader is reading, like right to left in Japanese, help create forward momentum, while characters facing the the opposite way help to create mental pauses or slow the action down). It was interesting to note when the orientation changes in the anime, since animators are technically not constrained in the same way by that kind of composition consideration (albeit they still have others).

Other changes are often made to accommodate, or simply exist because of, the fact that animation has additional variables of sound and motion, and often things get exaggerated. For example, Kurama says something out loud instead of it being a thought in his mind as text on the panel; his reaction to something seems more overt because not only are we looking at his facial expression and a speech bubble going "Huh!" or whatever, we see the jolt of his head, the actual movement of his mouth, and hear the force in the startled exclamation, etc. I always find it very interesting to compare the directing with the additional factors now available. In some cases I still prefer the manga, perhaps because I tend to like subtle (boring...hard to explain... lol) things. For example, the intro with the guys wandering into Yatsude’s lair - I preferred the manga version where it cuts out as a straight on shot instead of the OVA where the camera has the motion of something zooming towards them from an angle that accelerates at the end. For me personally the former created a starker horror mood.

But I have to say what MOST impressed me about TWO SHOTS was probably Yatsude. I thought they did a fantastic job translating his design and fleshing out this character’s motion/movement quirks and attacks for full animation and giving him a really solid presence and weight.

As mentioned when Noruka Soruka was first announced, I was most curious how they would handle the ending since it actually concludes in the next chapter and was adapted for the anime's actual ending. And they... did it in possibly the most straightforward way possible. Which for some reason I didn't think was what they would do since I thought it would be too abrupt. Hahaha.

Some frivolous things that amused me:

Seeing Yusuke's bedhead rendered in anime yeahhh!

Seeing and hearing Yusuke talking to Enki on the phone while the latter is getting Salonpas applied lmao

Watching the takeover of the guards with the timer. Mainly the part where Yusuke and Kuwabara land on the guards after coming out of the Jigentou dimension cut lmao

Hearing the interpretation of what the parrot grass sounds like lmao

Seeing big Puu with ears. (Togashi forgot about Puu's ears or maybe consciously changed Puu's design or SOMETHING in nearly all the panels throughout the end of the story.)

The additional sequences in the evacuation scenes. The Easter eggs of Kuwabara's dad and another alien Hiei made me laugh. Especially because I’M PRETTY SURE THIS IS THE ALTA BUILDING

SEE 

(also while trying get this streetview Google maps tried to give me directions to this building from Canada lmao) 

 Also this part:

Me: “Who’s that dude?”

Me: “OH YeAH IT’S YUSUKE’S BODY.”

Me: “For god’s sakes Keiko can carry him herself AND run out of both a house on fire and an exploding stadium.”

Last but not least, Hiei using Kokuryuha made me laugh. This doesn't happen in the manga, but I understand the need since it's considered his signature move. I just found it really funny because it's technically such an OVERWHELMINGLY DESTRUCTIVE MOVE saved for only the utmost of opponents. At that proximity it probably would have immolated not only all the enemies but also all of the Spirit World people they were trying to save. So it was kind of like watching someone go "man there are a lot of annoying mosquitoes in this room" and then whipping out a flamethrower to get rid of them lmao

Bellroc y Skrael me recordaron a Noruka y Soruka de Yo-kai Watch Sangokushi al tener los mismos poderes y me dio curiosidad saber de como se verian Noruka y Soruka disfrazados de estos semidioses.

Bellroc and Skrael reminded me of Noruka and Soruka from Yo-kai Watch Sangokushi by having the same powers and I was curious to know what Noruka and Soruka would look like dressed up as these demigods.
