Man! Thinking about the potential Tachibana v. Tezuka match in the District Tournament finals if Fudomine v. Seigaku had got to S1 — I think that Tachibana would have probably been the victor?

By the time we get to Ep. 35, Tachibana has already been hyped up a lot (and, honestly, this rewatch has highlighted that Konomi-sensei's storytelling can be so stunning: the amount of foreshadowing where Tachibana is concerned is amazing). Inui looks at Tachibana at the end of Districts and says that he'll have to look into him since the name is familiar. A few episodes later, Sengoku starts when he hears the name 'Tachibana'. Then, Akazawa has a ! moment when he sees Tachibana's face and recalls that he played at last year's Nationals. Finally, Atobe is shocked when he sees Tachibana, calling him "one of the two strongest players in Kyushuu".

(And Tachibana destroys poor Shishido in elss than 15 minutes... how painful, lol)

Someone then produces a picture of blond!Tachibana from nowhere (either Inui or Inoue) and says that he didn't recognise him since his hair was different. Wow.

I feel like Tachibana'd strength gets overshadowed a lot in favour of some of the other captains (Tezuka, Yukimura, Atobe and Shiraishi) but it's definitely worth remembering that he is a Tough Cookie who had the respect of many esteemed players.

And also, one thought I had:

Holy shit, there’s three of them

[arlzuteni]

Happy birthday, Atobe Keigo!

Atobe: (Bond-like) My name is Atobe. Atobe Keigo.

Bartender: And how would you like your martini, Mr. Atobe?

Atobe: Ahn? I don't drink, I'm fifteen.

Security: I need to see your gun permit, sir.

Atobe: Che. This is a water gun.

Atobe: Tezuka, let's decide this once and for all!

I’m very normal about this anime

[notthepasteldyke]

i was wondering if they're still keeping with tradition and releasing a cover of valentine kiss every single year since it's been a while since i was active in tenipuri fandom (it was mostly during livejournal prime time)

god damn they still are

i need to go listen to the ones i haven't listened to yet NOW both my boys Sengoku and Marui got to sing it? Win. Big win.

Who will be singing the 2024 version can't wait to see lol

[umihoshi]

God, that was so much more difficult than I thought it would;;; but here's my anime 3x3!

shows that formed me to be the person I am, the type of writer, the type of artist, the type of thinker. I am as surprised as you that JoJo didn't make the cut ???? but these are the core series from my life and JoJo has been..... very very recent...

They're not in any particular order, just ended up random cuz I kept accidently forgetting to click an empty box, lol

Nobody's boy Remi - I used to cry when I missed an episode on tv TAT I was like 4 or 5 years old, hahah... no clue what anime was yet, but it stuck so strongly with me. the beautiful art, the emotional storytelling. my very first step towards being a fucking weeb =v=

Prince of Tennis - I've done so much art, so much writing, so much meta for Prince of Tennis x_x nothing to awaken the analytical mind than a sport anime. also, the first thing I really got to enjoy without my toxic ex-bestie

Ashita no Nadja - I originally only found like 3 episodes on a German website with no subtitles;; it's so horribly cringy and disney princess vibe, but it brings such warm feelings and memories in my heart. the classic 'orphan girl meets a mysterious masked man who is actually a prince', masked balls, traveling circus, history and culture. these are the type of corny things I want in my oc stories, yes, thank you.

Good witch of the West - a bit overlapping with Ashita no Nadja, but this one strikes a very special cord with me. It's probably the most obscure anime I have in my entire list and I've watched it so so many times.

Hunter x Hunter - it's from a period where I met a lot of my first non-school friends. having cosplayed Leorio and Kuroro more than I can count, and I am very normal about Illumi. I just feel very comfortable and nostalgic with it. and on like the day where I finished the original, the remake was announced, hohohoh~ Also, Hisoka helped along to reel in this clownfucker bestie of mine~~ ;))

D. Gray-Man - this show was an experience for me, man. I've spend like 5 years stuck in OC hell, but I'm still very fond of my little arrogant idiot noah oc, Chrome =3= the Noahs are the best villains in the entire wide world and I will not take criticism.

Glass Mask - relatively less old than the other 8, but it was there in a very important moment of my life. Glass Mask will forever mark the period where I started living on my own. I was so proud of myself how well I was doing without having my parents around all the time. watching a complete anime on full screen in the living room for the first time, what a blessing.

DNAngel - I still see certain resemblances in my artstyle to where I started drawing anime with DNAngel. the soft eyes and the shading is still one of my favorites. and Hiwatari Satoshi is my very first Megane boy~<3

Magic Knight Rayearth - not so much the anime, but the SNES game changed my life forever. My oldest brother had installed an emulator and some roms and MKR was among it. It was my first introduction with 'anime' where I actually learned what anime was, that it was Japanese and that there were MORE series like this wooooow! Until this very day, even after 25 years, I still listen to the name Umi.

series that JUST didn't make the cut: JoJo - Golden Wind Ouran Highschool Host Club Detective Conan Final Fantasy Unlimited Dangan Ronpa Interstella 5555 Pretear

Man... because I'm in a tennis-y mood (what with the Wimbledon Men's Final today and rediscovering my old fics and whatnot), I just rewatched the first episode of The Prince of Tennis and!! My heart!!

Ryoma and his dorky little attitude and his match vs. Sasabe and Sasabe ATTACKING HIM and the whole thing with Sasabe cheating when he was calling his own shots... then the reveal that Ryoma is ACTUALLY left-handed! Guh! Ryuzaki wasn't kidding when she said, "Things are about to get interesting," at the end of the ep!

Also, the anime reveals that Nanjirou sent Ryuzaki a letter from a (very questionable) address in New York so — it would appear that the Echizen family moved from Los Angeles at some point (possibly after Nanjirou's retirement?).

And then... 'You Got Game'. Wow. WOW MY FEELINGS.

[incorrectpot]

Ah yes, the traditional family:

Angry mama Oni

Chill papa Irie

The emo kid

Amazing, love it
