Do You Know This Anime?

Might be a long shot, but what do you think the chances are of a reboot for Spiral? I can't be the only one that would love to see that happen.

I would also love for that to happen but I really doubt it will, Spiral isn't exactly the most well known and popularity tends to be what influences reboots.

I would love to see more Spiral stuff but sadly it just doesn't seem likely

Spiral 25th Anniversary Book Preliminary Scan

Hello to all 10 of you Spiral the Bonds of Reasoning fans out there!

As you may know, our beloved series recently had its 25th anniversary, and there was a whole lot of merchandise and promotional material. I managed to get my hands on the anniversary art book and it's really, really nice. I made a scan of it, but in my attempts not to damage it, it didn't turn out as nicely as I'd like it to (you can see the tape I used to hold it down, a bunch of pages are eskew, I had to merge them awkwardly to fit in one Tumblr post). I don't know if any of you know anyone who could help me do it better next time, but I'd figure I'd upload the scan as-is for now so I don't forget. Once I have a scan in a quality I'm happy with, I'm planning on putting it on the Internet Archive.

This book is so good. It is delightful to see how much Eita Mizuno's art evolved from the early Spiral days to now. The formalwear redraw especially... man...

Rest of the art book under the cut.

This was actually so fucking crazy, I needed to look up the original Japanese to see what he actually said. He uses 自閉症, the word for "autism."

Like, why is he calling this random bird toy autistic???

I'm gonna reread all the Spiral: bonds of reasoning manga. Probably draw some fanart along the way. It's a mystery manga, somewhere around the ballpark of Detective Conan and Nougami Neuro.

I love the character writing on the blade children. Violent genius teens raised by a cult.

It's one of the few manga I go back and reread the entirety of every few years. I physically own 9 of them.

The anime is dated though, has that early 2000s digital and stiff look to it, the dialogue is mostly unchanged. The plot splinters off a bit near the end of the anime, and the anime is only a season and never gets to the biggest plot twists. The ending theme is still iconic.

Ah, memories. Faded memories, but still treasured.

What do your characters look for in a partner romantically? Personality/looks if they have a specific type?

Thank you for the ask! This is a fun and interesting question. :)

I’m not entirely sure which characters you want to hear about most, so I’ll focus on the Liddell kids. I have trouble with tumblr refusing to post anything long (not an issue I had in the past on tumblr, since I’d post chapters of stories on here), so if anyone wants to hear about other characters, I’ll do them in separate posts/asks. ^^

For all of the kids, however, someone “not like Vivian” is important in a partner! ahahaha Answers below cut ;)

I’ll start with Sophie, since she’s actually had romantic partners. She’s been in several relationships, even if Brielle and Rhett are the only two times she’s ever been married. As far as personality, she seeks those who are kind and make her laugh. People she can relax around. Those who enjoy a bit of mystery and things that are whimsical, if only because she’s anxious that revealing she’s a spirit could total the relationship.

For looks, she tends to be one of those “fall in love with the person and start seeing all the beauty of their features even more” people, but she does like pretty eyes and a kind smile to attract her attention first. :)

I’ve mentioned Shannon is aroace before, in that he’s never experienced any sort of arousal or romantic attraction to people. This has nothing to do with his upbringing, although that does affect him having any partners. He might thrive in a queerplatonic polyship someday. For now, I’ll just be grateful he’s warming to his siblings and understanding that Phineas’s other kids are also his found family.

Shannon would require that partners not be anything like Vivian and Graham. That extends to more than personality. Maybe he needs a quiet dork of a partner who enjoys reading by the windows on rainy days, the curtains open wide to let in all the natural light despite the weather. :’)

Shannon will not date humans.

Howie finds “liking nature” attractive. (I feel like spirits in general will gravitate toward those who love nature, who knew? But I bet he dates a lot of people whose favorite season is autumn “coincidentally”.) He does have a preference for redheads. He loves having someone to compete with on racing or climbing, someone who’ll join him on hikes.

As he wants kids eventually, he will seek partners who feel the same about parenting as he does, given his traumatic background. It’s not a spoiler because this takes place well beyond the epilogue, but Howie does have a family and ends up being like… Best Dad Ever.

Howie will date humans, but for long-term partners, he’ll hold preference for fellow spirits.

Bee… has a partner in the epilogue, and saying too much about what he wants is a bit of a spoiler. I’ll just let that relationship speak for itself, and if anyone has further questions, feel free to ask them. I plan to keep asks open for a while after I finish the series, although I’m sure it’ll eventually taper off and just be around for reference to new readers, if I have any. xD

Okay, so El.

El… is attracted more to fictional characters. Particularly monsters. Scales and horns are sexually attractive. I answered another ask about sexualities and briefly mentioned this, but I was a bit self-conscious about going into it at the time. He’s probably aro, but he loves the idea of romance and courtship—at least to make it a significant part of his reading!

And while I’ve been too chickenshit to actually wonder this out loud before, I’ve honestly thought that based on how unhealthy El and Howie’s dynamic is, how many readers have ended up shipping them. No judgment here, obviously it crossed my mind. It has that taboo ripeness for the picking, that’s all? It’s not canon, but I also don’t mind people shipping characters. (I’m old, and some of my earliest fandoms included Clamp works and Spiral Suiri no Kizuna soooo…yeah.)

feeling creatively drained might read spiral suiri no kizuna again
