>blue lock anime season 2 trailer comes out >it looks bad >fandom freaks out >incidentally, there is another pv released shortly after that is basically just voiceover of one of the Mean And Rude characters going "hey losers, season 2 of the anime is coming out soon 🙄 you can watch it on this channel at this time or you can go fuck yourself, whatever" >hilarious concept on its own >but there is also notably a line of him going "if it's bad then deal with it" >feels very pointed given recent events

really funny. more anime studios should do this. respond to backlash by sending their rudest fictional soldier to be like "if you don't like it then stfu"

>ok so atp it is known that kaneshiro (writer of blue lock) used to write fucked-up gory apocalyptic manga before bllk. but what other manga drawing work does nomura (artist of bllk) also have >look inside >one additional manga credit >it's fucked-up gory apocalyptic manga

we actually had so many good convos in the bllk gc the past few days. like talking about what the characters are like when drunk and the theory that shidou comes from a high school full of delinquents like in delinquent manga and he's not even the most violent insane person there and actually the other students there are like "man that guy could be king of the school hierarchy if he wanted but he just wants to play ball :/" and he's basically like billy elliot to them

me and the gang's judgment on gender configurations of blue lock ships:

nagireo - the ultimate applicable pairing that works as yaoi, yuri, or het in both directions. m!nagi+f!reo kind of builds upon and exaggerates the inherent "reo is the girl in the relationship" subtext of the original in a way that...doesn't super appeal to me personally but i can't deny it works on a narrative level and feels very fitting. on the other hand f!nagi+m!reo is EXCELLENT and me and the gc have latched onto it despite our usual heterophobia. what if a tall useless lazy gamer girl got discovered by a perky charming guy determined to make her the world's best soccer player... and what if they were t4t also.... and of course yuri nagireo fucking rules eternally

kunigiri - canonically het by default to ME (tgirl chigiri agenda 4 lyfe) but yuri kunigiri is also really good. butch x tomboy... gym rat muscle butch cis girl x androgynous bifeauxnen trans girl... i have no opinions on any gendered configuration of kunigiri that involve chigiri being a guy because that doesn't real to me.

isarin - dude toxic yuri isarin slaps so fucking hard. girls devouring each other and tearing each other to pieces with their teeth let's GOOOOOO!!!!! m!isagi+f!rin isn't viable to me though because if isagi acted that way to a woman i would have to fucking kill him. on the other hand f!isagi+m!rin with isagi being a deranged straight girl about it is kind of interesting like maybe straight girls should get to attempt to tear their love interest's throat out with their teeth as well except the problem is i can't really see any male version of rin being into women even in an au. and also if you want deranged girl isagi then yuri isrn is right there. have i mentioned yuri isrn rules

ryusae - tbh ryusae is eminently yurifiable because sae has all those elegant ice queen tropes going on and shidou is a faggy gyaru so it's really easy to just flip them over that line. and guess what? yuri sdse fucking rules. and furthermore i think it's really fun how much yuri sdse fanart gives off t4t vibes and we've got a whole t4t yuri sdse mind palace over there in the gc. het sdse is less good though because as oomf said, either sae is the woman and it just feels like the same pairing but less fun (also i would have to kill shidou for talking like that to a woman) or shidou is the woman and that honestly makes sae look kinda gay like wdym you have this super hot gyaru gf obsessed with you and you just act cold to her 🤨

that's all the bllk pairings i have any real feelings about. the conclusion of this post is that yuri fucking rules and het is only provisionally allowed sometimes. thanks for tuning in

1) marketing this movie by plastering the worst moment of reo's life all over shibuya station is crazy 2) they are not even pretending this isn't a yaoi relationship drama movie anymore huh. not a soccer ball to be found in these ads

[pleuvoire]

actually you know what the REAL animators nagireo agenda moment is. so first of all seeing this skit title was insane enough on its own

but then i checked jisho and turns out that's a mistranslation AND IT'S ACTUALLY THIS.

8BIT STUDIO IS ON SOME DOUJINSHI SHIT I'M CACKLING

[pleuvoire]

the listing for this figure i'm trying to buy is they/themming chigiri

[pleuvoire]

over on blue lock reddit they’re still arguing stuff like “shidou can’t be gay because he has a breeding kink” the mind of the heterosexual is so tragically small and narrow…

[pleuvoire]

I LOVE ROMANCEEEEEEEEEEEEE [TEARING MY SHIRT OFF LIKE THE WEREWOLF DRAWING OR PERHAPS THE JERMA GIF]

[pleuvoire]

is this not truly the image of a beautiful gay couple in love and some UGLY HOMOPHOBIC BITCH coming along to ruin their day

[pleuvoire]

getting into blue lock actually the most convincing argument for pairing name order mattering. i need to be able to filter out people who draw isagi as a blushing softboy and filter exclusively for ship content where he's actually in character as the evil little bitch he is or i'll start killing folks

blue lock is a manga about a guy telling a bunch of teenagers "we are going to put you in soccer torture jail with no contact with the outside world to make you really good at soccer or maybe to lose all chance of a soccer career who knows" and all of them went FUCK YES. PLEASE put me in the soccer torture jail. and then after several weeks or months of this they get let out of the soccer torture jail for a couple weeks and have fun and goof around out in the real world and then the guy is like "ok guys time to go back to soccer torture jail" and they're all like FUCK yes i missed soccer torture jail so bad i can't wait to go back
