Hi you don't know me but I saw your tags about Shinsengumi 2004 and there is a high quality version on nyaa.si and subs on d-addicts... the potato quality hardsubbed version is literally unwatchable I wouldn't wish that pain on anyone

omg bless you I will definitely be using this information for good

[yuushiiblog]

quick study

[fuckyeahbakumatsu]

Hello, I would like to ask you about where I might be able to watch the NHK Shinsengumi 2004 series online with English subtitles or find it on dvd. You seem to be well connected and better in the know than myself, as I’m having a blast reading your blog.

I’ve looked around and am not coming up with much without exhaustive searches through warrens of rabbit holes or being asked to download all sorts of crap to be able to watch it and finding a lot of cobwebs and long gone dead links. I did find a dvd series for sale on someplace called vendio.com, but it looks a little sketch and maybe too good to be true.

Anyway, I figured that I might conduct my search more efficiently and just start asking around, which also gives me the opportunity to compliment you on your blog that makes me laugh out loud at work and appear as some sort of eccentric at best and moderate lunatic at worst. But that’s ok. They wouldn’t get it anyway.

So, thank you very much for your time and I hope that I can get further in my quest with your help than I am on my own.

Your ask really made my day. Thank you ❤️

I've only watched the so-called potato quality hard subbed files. Back in 2014 when I first watched it these were available on YouTube, but they've since been taken down. You can find them here on Veoh and they're also on Kissasian. As for the better quality files, they do exist, but I've never had access to them. I'm thinking your best bet is to ask @transjjester. He's probably much more in the know about this than I am.

Thank you again for such a nice ask! It really made me happy.

they said ちょっとややこしい二人の関係 and showed this shot from (iirc) ep 1 of shinsengumi! (2004)

Awww, thanks for that shout out! <3

To anon: There isn't much information about the historical Tetsunosuke, in fact, Nanae Chrono, Peacemaker Kurogane's mangaka, had to pretty much fictionalize Tetsunosuke's background and story in the manga because of how little we know about the real one. However, responding your question, yes, Tetsunosuke was very important to Hijikata.

Based on this article that @shinsengumi-archives translated, we know that Tetsunosuke joined the Shinsengumi in 1867 at age 14 (12 or 13 in the Gregorian calendar) and became Hijikata's page, and that after the Boshin War broke, he accompanied Hijikata through all the journey until Ezo, even when his own older brother, Tatsunosuke, left the Shinsengumi. Tetsunosuke stayed at Hijikata's side through the battles, took care of him when the vice-commander was injured in the battle of Utsunomiya and had to recover in Aizu, and then when they traveled to Ezo. In fact, Tetsunosuke's loyalty towards Hijikata was so big that, in order to send him away to save his life, Hijikata had to threaten killing him, because Tetsunosuke wanted to die with him.

Hijikata had a very high opinion of Tetsunosuke because of that. According to the aforementioned article and Tetsunosuke's article in the Japanese Wiki Corps, he believed that Tetsunosuke was "very strong-willed and hated to lose, but also could be calm and composed" and that he also was "very strong-minded and also very clever". A detail that speaks volumes of the trust that Hijikata had on Tetsunosuke is that he confided his personal belongings, like his death poem and piece of hair as well his beloved sword, to him. And it's because of that trust as well Tetsunosuke's courage - he risked his life to deliver said belongings to Hijikata's family in Hino - that right now we have Hijikata's only known photo and that his sword Izuminokami Kanesada is still preserved in his family's museum. While we don't know 100% about their relationship, we know that Hijikata cared deeply for Tetsunosuke enough for him to send the boy away to save his life and that Tetsunosuke deeply admired and respected Hijikata enough to leave his brother to stay at his side.

Because of that, Tetsunosuke is usually featured in Shinsengumi media that depicts the last days of Hijikata's life. Aside Peacemaker Kurogane, that portrays a more fictionalized version of his time in the Shinsengumi but retaining the core traits of his historical personality, Tetsunosuke also appears in the Shinsengumi Taiga drama of 2004, in Moeyo Ken, in the anime Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu and even in Gintama which features a parody version of the Shinsengumi. Apparently he also made an appearance in Kaze Hikaru but I can't confirm this. The only popular media where Tetsunosuke isn't featured is Hakuouki but is because they made Chizuru replace him completely, something that forever annoys me until this day. But all his appearances in media, even if he plays a very small role, tells you a lot about the strong bond that he and Hijikata shared as master and page.

And Tetsu indeed wasn't a poor little kitten. Despite being a teenage boy he was a wolf of the Shinsengumi and Hijikata's descriptions of him match that. Strong-willed, brave and loyal until the end.

Hello. You don't often depict Hijikata in your drawings, but you always try to render his appearance as realistically as possible. This resemblance is sometimes frightening. It's as if he were alive. I'm not sure... but may I ask? Are you interested in the relationship between Hijikata and Ichimura Tetsunosuke? Tetsu doesn't look like a poor little kitten, but he seems to have been important to Hijikata in his own way.

Hi Anon. 👋

You're right, I don't draw Hijikata often but this recent portrait turned out pretty well (if I might toot my own horn). I think that's the realistic piece you're talking about, right?

I don't do much in that style because it requires a high quality photo to work from, a lot of time, and some manner of divine intervention to turn out even halfway decent, but I plan to do more portraits of actual people from the end of the Edo period this year.

Anyway, about your question:

I've not done a ton of research specifically focused on Hijikata because there are about a billion others who have.

So, while I'm interested in all of the Shinsengumi to some extent, the relationship between Hijikata and Ichimura is more of a passing interest for me.

But ... you should definitely chat with @pmkloveadmin about Hijikata and Ichimura. While, yes, she runs a Peacemaker Kurogane tumblr, she has loads of info and knowledge about the historical Hijikata and Ichimura and would be an amazing resource for you if you have specific questions.

Why are you like this, FGO?

[bandmaiko]

Repost from twitter. Because I am getting so fed up with the HORRENDOUS audio quality of the subbed videos (and they could easily disappear any day). We HAVE a download for all of the episodes in 480p (which is crazy good quality compared to the ones on youtube LOL) and i would really like to preserve a watchable version of the show.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I’m looking at @nanashi1869 and @kondo-hijikata because you guys are like the only shinsengumi jdrama fans i know of the top of my head but feel free to share!

and if anyone DOES have a subtitle file please please please let me know
