🖊

send me a “🖊 (+ an OC, if you want a specific one)“ and i will talk about OCs!

it felt a little bit irreverent to do the joke about the extra-big emote and then talk about the Tragedy Sinks among my ocs so i'm going to do a three'fer special on this one, and talk about the umezawa family.

jesus christ heed the readmore on this one it’s really long

it wasn't always pure doom and gloom for them. tomoe was a hasty concept, thrown together for an rp group. her father was always deeply depressed which resulted in her being saddled with too much responsibility too young, though he did not yet have a name nor a second child. it's a little embarrassing to look back at now that i'm a competent writer, but i suppose we all start somewhere!

the current chronology of their family goes back further than seikyo umezawa, though it is with him that i set the stage for their tragedy. the umezawa funeral home and crematory in amakusa has already been around for generations by the time he is born into it an only child, his future already carved in stone. it's not something he terribly minds, growing up around it, but the nature of the family has always been self-sacrificial. tending to the needs of others in their most vulnerable moments is a crucial skill to have in such a business, certainly, but the values they instill leave seikyo as being… rather spineless, to say the least. he begins his formal training straight out of high school, and completes it in a timely manner. this is just as well, as only a few years after he becomes qualified to handle the business is he suddenly inheriting it when his parents die within a mere few months of each other in his mid-20s. while he had a knack for helping others through the grief of loss, he was not very well equipped to handle his own - especially considering the position of responsibility he had just been thrust into

still, he managed. it was not pretty, and keeping things afloat was difficult while struggling with his grief, but he managed. a few years pass, and a particular funeral comes to pass. mr. itou was not someone seikyo knew personally, but he could not help but notice the severity of one woman's grief once the services had concluded. as was in his nature, he prompted her to speak if she felt it would help her - and she wept, wept about how the man was her uncle who had been the only family who ever truly cared for her, and that she had almost missed the funeral because she had such short notice about it. she said that everyone else in the family had tried to keep her away from seeing the only person who cared for her one last time out of spite. this was, unfortunately, a fabrication - kokoro itou had indeed not been invited to the funeral, but it was because her family had long since cut ties with her for her manipulative behaviour. her uncle had died leaving considerable wealth behind, and none was left to her - hence, the scene she was causing.

but seikyo didn't need to know that. he would never find out.

she played to his sympathetic nature perfectly, worming her way into his life. the umezawa line had a considerable amount of wealth to them, and she insisted on taking him to dinner to repay him for the kindness he showed during her time of need. one thing became another, months turned to years, dating turned to marriage. kokoro was not terribly pleased about moving into the upper floors of a literal funeral home, but as a 'compromise' she asked if she would be able to remodel the master bedroom to her liking. seikyo, wanting to do whatever it took to keep her comfortable, saw no reason to fight such a request.

about a year after the marriage came the first child, tomoe umezawa. she took after both parents in eyes and hair, and for a brief time it seemed this would only bring them closer. kokoro doted on the new baby while seikyo continued his work, but she quickly became bored with how much work a family was going to be. she accused seikyo of caring about his work more than his family, and despite the hours he already worked, he wound up as tomoe's primary caregiver. he was already exhausting himself, but considered it a worthy sacrifice to ensure his family's happiness. when tomoe was four, a second child was born, one who took quite a bit after her mother and not at all after seikyo. everyone knew kokoro had been having some sort of affair, and quite a few were surprised by setsuna's birth. seikyo was not a stupid man, but he was a spineless one. he said nothing, quietly suspecting that it would fall on him to make sure setsuna still knew she was loved.

seikyo does most of the work raising them. kokoro occasionally takes them out, moreso to show off with the friends she’s made than anything. it is a symbol of how difficult motherhood has been, but how well she’s done and how lovely her daughters are. seikyo was overworked, overtired, and sacrificing everything just to keep the peace in a quickly fizzling marriage, with the girls spending a significant amount of time with him. in the morgue, in his office, death and grief becoming familiar friends to the sisters, who themselves began to develop a strong bond. the fighting became worse, kokoro would throw and break things, and she only became more violent from there. tomoe, at 11, was already learning to herd setsuna out of the way when she sensed things were about to get ugly. the two learned from their father that sometimes, things are bad, but there is always a reason that things happen the way they do.

(a lesson that the youngest would take to heart, far stronger than anyone ever intended.)

setsuna was always a bright face in the house alongside her gloomy sister and father, and dissatisfied angry mother. she was, for her part, mostly oblivious to how bad things were. they tried to protect her from the worst of it. tomoe had learned to keep her head down and stay out of it, but setsuna had not developed the same kind of tact - she would begin to notice, soon, and just distracting her with ‘mortician work’ would not be sufficient soon enough. there were always holes that needed digging, though, and setsuna was thrilled to have a job all to herself. when tomoe sensed things were getting bad, she would send setsuna out to do some digging.

tomoe, for her part, had thrown herself into her practice by the time she was 13. she was suffering far more stress from taking care of her sister than she let on. she kept quiet and kept to her work, not wishing to further burden her father. between the caretaker role, her work, and the conflict between her parents, she wonders if there isn’t more she could be doing. the guilt weighs on her, but she resolves to make sure her sister never has to feel the way she did.

their estate was vast, and setsuna would spend her free time ‘looking for treasure’ in the thick woods surrounding their home and associated graveyard. when setsuna was 11, she had a serious accident on one of her little adventures. she was scurrying around, tripped, and fell into an open grave and straight onto a pile of stones. her left knee took the brunt of the impact, and shattered. it was a miracle she could drag enough dirt in to drag herself out and hobble back home, in the most intense pain she had ever felt in her life. her shovel was her greatest comfort and helped her support herself, at least a bit. long past dark, she finally made it home, called out, and received no answer. she collapsed, exhausted, at the bottom of the stairs and drifted off.

she was awoken by her father, panicked, and her sister, frantically afraid. the two had left to look for her not fifteen minutes before her own return, and their paths had not crossed. they were so, so glad to see her, but their relief was short-lived as they saw the state she was in. at this moment, her mother emerged - surprising setsuna, who hadn’t known she was home, and kokoro, who seemed more annoyed at having been disturbed than anything. a foreign emotion crossed seikyo’s face - for the first time in front of the children, he was angry. he quietly said he was taking setsuna to the hospital, and asked tomoe to please help her sister up. the eldest hesitated, looking to see if their mother would follow, but did as she was asked when she saw kokoro was not going to be coming.

setsuna requires major surgery to piece her joint back together. she will live the rest of her life with chronic pain and moderate arthritis in the joint, as well as screws and wires holding it together. she is mostly distressed she will not be able to do her favourite hobby as she is required to rest until she is better, and tomoe is distressed because all that resting means she can’t send setsuna outside to distract her from the familial tension. setsuna was excited to be home. everyone was there for her discharge. but when they returned, the ice thawed from the fire that was now breaking out. things were frequently loud. fights were more frequent. seikyo was still a pushover, but having seen how his wife reacted to their daughter’s injury, he knew he had to at least try to finally stand up to her.

tomoe brought setsuna to the basement as often as she could, conveniently needing someone to ‘help’ with her mortician work as much as setsuna’s limited mobility would allow. the younger was getting an inkling that something in their home was very, very wrong, but she didn’t really understand. she was happy not to. tomoe did everything she could to mitigate it, but in the grand scheme of things she was ultimately powerless. all she could do was try to reassure setsuna that sometimes, things happened for a reason. she, herself, did not really believe in this. but setsuna found it comforting.

(another nail for the coffin of her guiding philosophy.)

by the time she was 12, she was back to digging. she would never be as agile as she was before, but she still very much enjoyed her work. she was out late last night after having excused herself from a dinner that turned very, very ugly to go dig. she stayed out until well past dark. when she finally came home, she wasn’t even halfway up the stairs to their residence when she heard the screaming. the argument from dinner had only escalated since then, and kokoro was acting even more aggressively. she spat venom at seikyo as setsuna crept up the stairs unnoticed.

she’d had enough, she screamed, she was done with this shit, she was going to kill him. make it look like a suicide - lord knows all her friends knew he was depressed, and he had no close friends of his own. nobody would be surprised. she would get his assets, sell the estate, and keep everything for herself. setsuna could see that her father was terrified, but even when it seemed he feared for his own life, he just asked what was going to become of his daughters. even when he was sure that the woman with the weapon was going to kill him, he couldn’t stand the idea of putting himself first in his thoughts.

in that moment, all setsuna could see was that her mom was going to hurt her dad, and she wasn’t going to let it happen.

a moment seemed like an eternity. kokoro advanced, as seikyo noticed his daughter entering the parlor. before he could say anything, before she could turn to look, setsuna had run up and swung the blade of her shovel at the side of her mother’s head. the flat side connected with a resounding CLANG and the woman crumpled to the floor, hitting her head again on the way down. tears welled in Setsuna’s eyes as she trembled, shovel clattering to the floor as she reached out to hug her father. seconds passed as he tried to comfort her, blood running cold as they both realized kokoro was very dead. setsuna had hit her just perfectly, and if the first blow didn’t do her in, then the second on the way down sealed her fate.

seikyo thought to call the authorities, but setsuna, terrified, begged him not to. she didn’t want them to take her away. seikyo hesitated, then suggested that he take the blame. have Setsuna make the call, and hope they would accept that he’d done it in self defense. she didn’t like that, either - what if they took him away forever? no, she had an idea! she dug a lot of nice holes, right? they could hide her in one of those, and nobody would have to know. seikyo didn’t think it was a good idea. setsuna clearly didn’t understand the gravity of what she was suggesting, and yet...

... even kokoro’s friends would likely not think too hard. even for the favourable image she tried to cultivate, they knew she was rather fickle and capricious. it wouldn’t be a complete shock if she ran off without telling anyone, right...? tomoe was asleep, passed out from exhaustion, dead to the world in her own right. nobody else would ever have to know. seikyo had only grown so much of a spine, and he went through as many prayers as he could while setsuna buried her mother, asking for salvation for them both. the official story when tomoe asked was going to be that kokoro had stormed out after an argument, and nobody had seen her since.

days passed. a missing persons report was filed. no foul play was suspected. tomoe wondered, again, if this was somehow her fault. if she had just held things together a little better. worked a little harder. done the one key thing differently, that maybe it wouldn’t have ended the way they did. setsuna tried to comfort her, echoing that everything happens for a reason, even when it’s sad, to minimal avail. it was more so for her own sake - if everything happens for a reason, then there was a reason to kill her mother. it was okay, that way, as it was destined. there was some reason for it, even if she couldn’t see it. seikyo seemed to only sink deeper into his own depression.

years passed. the family moved on. gradually, though, both physically and mentally seikyo became less and less able to work, and more and more the business fell into tomoe’s hands. she weathered it in diligent silence. everyone was suffering so much, there was no need for her to add her weight to the pile. she took to conversing with the corpses as they were prepared, beginning to regard them as her only true friends and confidants. she had, perhaps, the most self-awareness about it. she knew it couldn’t have been healthy for her, but they were some of the best listeners she knew. it became a regular habit even if she had no preparations to conduct to drop into the morgue just to talk about her day, her feelings.

at 20, now a legal adult, tomoe left to pursue her proper training. she would be gone for a little while, but the others promised they would manage. setsuna and seikyo far from had it. setsuna was completely unsuited for the work tomoe had took on, and her father wound up overexerting himself to keep up with the demand. they tried to get by as best they could with tomoe gone, but towards the end of her education, it was getting to be too much. he had been sick, and was only getting sicker.

[cw suicide]

his mental health spiralled - worn down by his guilt and depression, feeling completely hopeless, he lamented his selfishness and made an attempt on his own life. setsuna found him, half-dead, and called for help in tears - someone had attacked her father. she was scared. he was too weak to explain, and it was only in the hospital afterward that she learned the truth. and, she was furious.

why, why would he try to do that? why would he try to leave her all alone? things were supposed to happen for a reason, so why would someone try to take it into their own hands like that? her guiding philosophy suggested that things were just out of their control, and there was nothing they could do if they wound up raising a hand against another, but this? that had all been him. perhaps it was because it challenged her own justification for killing her mother, threatened to bring her own coping mechanisms crashing down, but whatever the cause, most of the respect setsuna had for her father vanished. she would no longer acknowledge him as her father, and barely as a person she shared a space with.

[cw end]

tomoe returned home as quickly as she could upon learning the news, and was stunned at what she saw. her sister’s radically changed attitude, the dire state of her father’s situation. she was exhausted the first day back, running double duty to get business back to a more functioning state and taking care of her father. setsuna was happy to see her back, and couldn’t understand why her sister seemed more frustrated and tired all the time now. tomoe tried very, very hard to not be upset with either of them, but her frustration was beginning to boil over. her father had failed both of them at every step of the way - he had been their caretaker, certainly, but he was a spineless coward of one. and her sister should never have been left with any sort of responsibility.

it was so, so unfair to her.

it was so, so unfair to all of them.

there are things that come next but for writing purposes i usually like to leave them around htis point, in the tense state, at ages 18, 22, and 56

Watching Sailor Moon musicals with my sister :)

I asked my sister if she had any thoughts/comments about the musicals that she’s seen so far so that I could post them here.

So far she’s seen (not in this order):

Usagi – Ai no Senshi e no Michi

Yume Senshi – Ai – Eien ni… (Kaiteiban) – Saturn Fukkatsu Hen

Sailor Stars and Sailor Stars Kaiteiban

Eien Densetsu

Shin Densetsu Kourin

Kaguya Shima Densetsu Kaiteiban

All 4 of the Dracul musicals

Tanjou! Ankoku no Princess Black Lady

10th Anniversary Festival – Ai no Sanctuary

Petite Étrangère

Un Nouveau Voyage

Le Mouvement Final

Nogizaka46 Team Moon and Team Star

Her favorite actors are:

Sailor Moon: Anza Ooyama and Miyuki Kanbe

Sailor Mercury: Chieko Kawabe

Sailor Mars: Megumi Yoshida

Sailor Jupiter: Minami Umezawa

Sailor Pluto: Yuuko Hosaka (“She has really strong mom-energy and seems like the most responsible of the group”), Mikako Ishii, and Seiko Nakazawa

Sailor Saturn: Ayami Kakiuchi and Karin Takahashi

Sailor Uranus: Nao Takagi

Sailor Neptune: Yuuka Asami

Sailor Chibi Moon: Ayano Gunji

She said there was a Sailor Venus that she really liked but she couldn’t remember which one.

Okay, so here’s what she remembers from the musicals she’s seen. I can’t guarantee that this is going to make 100% sense because we were being really silly when I was asking for her thoughts. I probably should’ve asked for her thoughts as we were watching them because she couldn’t remember a lot from some of them, but I’ll do that moving forward :)

Yume Senshi – Ai – Eien ni… (Kaiteiban) – Saturn Fukkatsu Hen: “That Pegasus made me feel scared, I couldn’t tell if it was flying away from or towards me. There should’ve been more Hawkseye” (because Hawkseye is played by Hikari Ono)

Sailor Stars/Sailor Stars Kaiteiban/Eien Densetsu:

“These 3 Lights are my favorites because they are the nicest and they vibe with the other guardians” (in comparison to the 3 Lights in Le Mouvement Final and in the anime)

Kaguya Shima Densetsu Kaiteiban: “The pirates doing their walk is my last few brain cells” (about Kern, Serpen, and Kraken doing that weird walk where they are kind of crawling?? I don’t know how to describe it??)

Dracul musicals:

“Why doesn’t Michiru just bite Haruka and then they can be vampires together?”

“I couldn’t wait until the second one because you told me Vampir was in it, but everyone was mean to her and she just wanted her dad to be there for her, and when she changed her outfit to look like the cool kids he didn’t like it. Also Le Fay wanted to wear matching mother-daughter outfits”

When Vampir says “Damn it!” in “All of You Shall Die” my sister said “Did she forget her line?!” (she didn’t realize that it was part of the song).

Un Nouveau Voyage:

“You didn’t prepare me, I wasn’t ready for the Haruka!! You told me she was an idol, but I didn’t realize she was that kind of performer. I’m not mad, I’m just surprised, I was just so confused” (about Haruka’s idol performance at the beginning of the musical).

“Professor Tomoe doesn’t win father of the year award”

“This Michiru is baby, she looks really young”

Petite Étrangère:

“Sapphir was like ‘Demande, I think you’re being tricked’, and Demande was like ‘Don’t ask questions, just leave it to me’. And that didn’t work out well”.

“Maybe this is more manga-based and I haven’t read the manga, but how upset Usagi was over Chibiusa felt really exaggerated. It seemed like she tolerated her more in the anime and the other musicals. It felt really forced. I like Satomi better in Un Nouveau Voyage”

Le Mouvement Final:

“The 3 Lights were SO RUDE to Setsuna. THE DISRESPECT”

She said that Yaten (Saki Matsuda) reminded her of Yurio from Yuri on Ice. “Yaten is Yurio. If there were a Yuri on Ice musical, you’ve got a Yurio”.

“This Galaxia is terrifying”

10th Anniversary Festival – Ai no Sanctuary :

“Oh my god, they had matching jackets!! Happiest Happy Family!!” (We refer to the outers family as the Happy Family because they’re just so cute and we love them!!)

“I think Marina would’ve been a good Chibiusa. Or if they need an Usagi for like a flashback scene where Usagi was younger”

Her favorite songs are:

“Over the Moon”

“Dream Yume wa Ookiku”

“Onna Kaizoku no Sakusen”

“All of You Shall Die”

“Galaxia Gorgeous”

“Honoo no Messenger”

“Chasin’ After You”

“See Me, Boku-tachi no Jidai”

“Traditional the Grace”

¿Quién es la oveja perdida?

Con uno y noventa y nueve de Shun Umezawa abre con una cita del evangelio de Lucas, capítulo 15, aquella que plantea la parábola de la oveja perdida y que habla de la importancia del arrepentimiento para la religión cristiana, casi más importante que "los noventa y nueve justos".

Esta obra fue editada en dos tomos por ecc cómic y se publicó en España en 2018.

En el primer volumen nos encontramos con historias cortas, que si bien no guardan ninguna relación entre sí, van construyendo un atmósfera sobre esta idea vertebral acerca de "la oveja perdida".

Todos los personajes en esta primera recopilación están rotos, son disfuncionales o sienten que no encajan de ninguna manera en la sociedad. Algo de esto también vemos en Bajo un cielo como unos pantis del cual ya hablamos en el blog, pero las historias no son tan contundentes, algunas terminan muy abruptamente y otras son geniales. Eso señala una disparidad pero terminan construyendo un clima especial que refleja la soledad, el desamparo de sentirse raro en una sociedad que juzga a quienes sobresalen por algo.

El segundo volumen es maravilloso. Un historia que va de principio a fin, pero centrada más en la segunda parte de la parábola: "el gozo de arrepentirse". El autor nos cuenta una historia cruel, macabra, por momentos forzada que busca transmitir el vacío del personaje principal. La automatización de las respuestas emocionales y las respuestas religiosas puesta en un mismo plano de singularidad, construyen la mirada del lector. Un gran manga esta segunda parte, pero creo que funcionan juntos. El primero prepara el terreno para que todos esos sentimientos dispersos florezcan en la segunda parte y provoquen en nosotros esa sensación de asco y a la vez compasión.

Cocytus || Chapter 4 Election

Within the living room are a number of familiar figures. Some you know from your own life. Others you know because they look so much like your fellow councilors. Some still remain completely unfamiliar to you. They sit around the living room, each entertaining themselves. Several have fallen asleep. Clotho and Lachesis, too, are in the room. It looks like Lacchi is playing on her Xbox Exvius with a young girl who strongly resembles Evren, while Clotho is amusingly watching a young man fall out of his chair. A robotic fox keeps watch from afar.

Perhaps you yell, perhaps you scream. Perhaps you try to leave the boat, only to find your efforts wasted due to the thick glass wall, reinforced and sturdy, pressing right against you. Perhaps you call for your loved one, shouting their name as you hope for them to notice you. None of it works. They never seem to see that you are right there.

“Antonio Rivera-Grace.” Atropos’ strong voice cuts through the sounds. “Princess Diamond of Cremoria. Ayame Watanabe. Misters Byeol and Ryeo. Kotoha Matsuba. Kasumi Wakaba.”

“Marisol Flores. Ryu Kioshi. Enji Imada. Sir Edgar Smythe.” Charon continues, rowing the boat past more and more individuals. “Bridgette Everett. Prince David Matan. KIT.”

“Princen Florien Castanea. Meifen Liu. Masa Ito. Former councilors Tomoe Umezawa and Shamsum-Nuha Hilal, accompanied by the latter’s husband, Arev Selardi.” She concludes.

That was all of them, all of the people (and one AI in a fox body) gathered within the room. What chilled you was that they even brought the loved ones of the people that already died. You’d suspected it, what with Florien delivering the news at the very beginning of the week, but how long had this particular motive been in the planning?

“Of course, they are perfectly safe up here. We have no intention of harming them directly, and no reason to kill them. They will not die by our hands.” It’s difficult to believe Atropos, but you have a sinking suspicion that she was telling the truth, and thus, there would be a twist. “However, whatever motive you settle on tomorrow will not be affecting you. No, this time, they will impact those living here instead. It could make their staycation quite... unpleasant.”

Atropos crosses her arms. “You are the ones with the world in your hands. It is time for you to exercise that responsibility over others. And yes, that includes the loved ones of our tragic councilors who have been unable to accompany us this far. Perhaps you’ll judge them less harshly than you did some of your peers?”

It felt too soon and too long, before the living room was out of sight, and you arrived at the bright exit of the Tunnel of Love. As the boat banks around the Tunnel of Love’s final corner, you see the four motive choices, illuminated before you at the exit like those balloons that usually say “thank you” as you leave:

Half-Empty, Half-Full

Memento Mori

Quarter Quell

Score To Settle

At least it didn’t seem like they were playing any obvious tricks on you this time. None of the choices looked particularly appealing though, especially since you knew what was at stake.

“We expect you to choose a new president by tomorrow morning. And later in the evening, we will gather for them to select your motive. Perks will be given to the president, of course. Feel free to discuss among yourselves who will be the next to represent the Council, and to devise your strategy going forwards. The two of us will be free, if you wish to curry favour.”

As the other host docks the boat, he also speaks, “If you want to come back and take a look at your loved ones, all you need is a Sea Ticket. Fat lot of good it’ll do you to see them again, but I’ve never been one for the sentiments. Maybe you’ll find something from looking at them enjoy their current stay aboard the Summit that I couldn’t.”

Atropos steps out first. “I shall be waiting in Spring’s Bounty in the morning. Consider your options wisely. You may not live to regret them.” She leaves.

Charon leans against his oar as he smiles. “Now buzz off, will you? The Splashpad’s closing for the night. Go have your discussions in the Hearth or something.”

Reseña Anime: Ghost Sweeper GS Mikami

https://ift.tt/2JGjPb1

// Genero: Comedia, Sobrenatural

// Director: Hidetoshi Yoshida // Estudios: Toei Animation

// Nº Episodios: 49 // Año: 1993

// Sinopsis //

El sobredesarrollo y la sobrepoblación que comenzó a crecer en Japón forzó a muchos espíritus y fantasmas en pena a tener que abandonar sus hogares de manera forzada, lo que los ha alterado y quieren hacer notar su enojo. De esta manera fue creada una nueva profesión, la de los cazafantasmas: exorcistas de espíritus malignos que trabajan por contrato, generalmente de millones de yenes. Pero entre todos hay sólo una que es conocida como la mejor, una muchacha llamada Reiko Mikami. Mikami es la reina entre los cazafantasmas, pero su defecto es que ama el dinero más que ninguna otra cosa en el mundo, sin importarle los sentimientos.

// Impresiones //

Estrenada originalmente el 11 de abril de 1993, Ghost Sweeper GS Mikami, conocida por estos lados del mundo como “Mikami la Cazafantasmas”, es la adaptación al anime del manga de 1991 autoría de Takashi Shiina, “Ghost Sweeper Mikami Gokuraku Daisakusen!!”, el cual culmino su publicación en 1999 tras 39 volúmenes , llegando la adaptación animada producida por los estudios Toei Animation y dirigida por Atsutoshi Umezawa en sus 49 episodios a adaptar ��nicamente los 9 primeros tomos de la obra original, contando el titulo además con una película estrenada en 1994 de tan solo una hora de duración, titulada tal y como el manga. No habiéndome llevado precisamente un muy buen sabor de boca con mis últimas incursiones a los animes de los 80´s y 90´s que en su momento tuvieron la suerte de llegar a ser dobladas para su visualización por parte del público hispano, realmente no es que tuviera muchas expectativas por este título, pese a que la adaptación animada de la otra gran obra de su autor original, Zettai Karen Children, me haya dejado hace unos años con un muy buen sabor de boca, pero por suerte puedo decir que si bien el titulo como tal no es que me allá encantado, encontrándolo hasta cierto punto algo olvidable, en general el mismo ha resultado ser un trabajo bastante consistente y ameno.

La obra pues se trata de una comedia con tintes de acción y fanservice de temática sobrenatural, que nos relata las aventuras de una sensual y avariciosa caza fantasmas llamada Reiko Mikami, durante su día a día en su labor como cazadora de fantasmas, demonios y otras criaturas de las tinieblas, en compañía de su mal pagado, constantemente maltratado y por sobre todo pervertido ayudante, Tadao Yokoshima, y de la adorable fantasma adolecente Kinu Himuro, al tiempo que de tanto en tanto les toca competir o hacer equipo con otros diversos rivales en el negocio, tales como la eterna rival de Mikami, la también sensual caza fantasmas Emi Ogasawara, el loco alquimista inmortal, el Doctor caos y su asistente robot, María, y la inocente pero problemática y autoproclamada mejor amiga de Mikami, Meiko Rokudo, entre otros más. El anime entonces se presenta como un trabajo de corte episódico, que sin tener realmente una trama principal que sirva de eje central para la obra, en cambio nos va presentando pequeñas mini historias de uno o dos episodios de duración, casi siempre independientes entre sí, mas no cohibiendo esta situación al anime de presentar cierto nivel de continuidad mayormente concerniente a la entrada en escena de ciertos personajes o a la adquisición de ciertos poderes u objetos por parte de nuestros protagonistas.

Pese a llevar el titulo de Mikami, lo cierto es que la susodicha caza fantasmas no es que sea precisamente el personaje central de la serie, compartiendo esta su protagonismo con sus dos ayudantes y tendiendo normalmente a caer la atención del título en el joven Yokoshima, quien suele ser además el centro de la comedia de la obra, al ser el personaje sobre el que suelen caer constantemente las desgracias, y siendo su personalidad pervertida y mujeriega buena parte del motor cómico de la obra, ofreciéndonos el chico una variedad más que considerable de expresiones faciales exageradas e hilarantes, pese a que la comedia que maneja el anime en si no es que sea del todo efectiva, y es que si bien para su época no estaba mal, para los tiempos que corren la misma ya se siente algo desfasada y gastada, sin mencionar que varios de los chistes realmente no terminan de hacer gracia, en especial cuando a la serie por alguna razón como remate de alguno de estos le da por dejar a los personajes y todo el sonido en silencio (ya saben esa vieja movida de que un personaje cuente un chiste malo y los demás se queden cayados al no saber cómo reaccionar), cosa que resulta bastante molesta debido a lo recurrente de este recurso y a la excesiva duración de los susodichos silencios. Aun con todo esto he de decir que el titulo en si es en general bastante entretenido, siendo GS Mikami una obra muy ligera y fácil de seguir, la cual pese a su considerable número de capítulos se las arregla para ser por demás digerible, siendo de esas series que te terminas viendo en cosa de nada y que te mantiene interesado mayormente por lo afable y variopinto de sus personajes, no siendo un trabajo particularmente elaborado pero sí bastante consistente que logra mantener su atractivo durante la mayor parte de su extensión, siendo a la final tal vez mi mayor queja el cómo termina la serie, y es que si bien por lo comentado al inicio de este texto se entiende que el anime no tenia como tal un final que adaptar al estar en ese tiempo el manga aun en publicación, hubiera estado bien que se curraran el capítulo final un poco más, en vez de dejarlo solo como otro episodio más luchando contra otro fantasma anónimo, y es que en ese sentido me hubiera gustado ver aunque sea un mini arco de dos o tres capítulos, como otros que ya habían hecho previamente en el anime.

Visualmente hablando tengo que decir que la serie se ve bastante bien, y es que pese a los años el titulo mantiene su atractivo en este apartado, con una animación algo limitada pero competente, una paleta de colores muy viva y llamativa, y diseños de personajes bastante atractivos en la mayoría de los casos, siendo extrañamente el personaje que menos me agrado en este sentido la propia Mikami, y es que por más que la serie la busque vender como una belleza inigualable, hubieron algunos detalles en su diseño que nunca me terminaron de agradar del todo, más que nada en lo referente a la forma de su cabeza y el cómo esta daba paso a su cabello, que hacía que nuestra heroína se viera rara, pero esto ya es algo puramente personal. Con respecto a la música tampoco tengo queja alguna, el OST no es que sea ninguna maravilla pero cumple bien su labor de ambientar, y el mismo presenta un par de temas que se las arreglan para llamar la atención, así mismo el opening de titulo “Ghost Sweeper” resulta bastante bueno, siendo una tonada con mucha energía y agradable al oído la cual personalmente no me canso de escuchar, mientras que el ending titulado “Believe Me”, ya es algo mas olvidable pero tampoco está para nada mal. Finalmente comentando un poco sobre el trabajo de doblaje realizado para Latinoamérica, si bien como siempre el titulo tiene algunos detallitos por aquí y por alla, debo decir que encontré el trabajo de doblaje bastante ameno en todo sentido, tanto por los diálogos como por la actuación y voces elegidas, además debo decir que me sorprendió el que mantuvieran intactos tantos chistes de doble sentido y referencias directas al sexo.

// Conclusión //

GS Mikami es un titulo bastante agradable, no es ninguna maravilla y realmente no sería ni de cerca mi primera elección al recomendar una comedia, pero para pasar el rato y desconectarse un poco no está mal, siendo su mayor basa el carisma de sus personajes y lo ligera que termina resultando.

// Calificación: 6/10 // Reseña redactada a pedido de Batracio Inconformista de El Armario Animado
