The Case Files of Kindaichi Kyousuke (Kindaichi Kyousuke no Jikenbou • 金第一行助の事件簿) by Yoko Sato (佐藤陽子) - chapter covers from June Magazine (issues from 1978-79)

A detective story with BL elements seemingly based off a pre-existing fictional detective of the same name with characters inspired by surely nobody in particular

They Dropped Two!! The Fable Episode 20 & 21 Review

[mikyapixie]

29 years ago today Neon Genesis Evangelion premiered on TV Tokyo!!!

In late 2016 New York's Glory Gospel Singers went on a Japanese talent show called Nodo Jiman the World! They sang "A Cruel Angel's Thesis," the theme song for the insanely popular anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion!!!

Man the look on that on guy’s face!!! I can't stop / won’t stop listening to this!!! I really wished so hard that The Glory Gospel Singers would release a full-length cover someday!!! They never did!!!😭😭😭

The Fable

[showamagicalgirls]

I recently finished reading The Moe Manifesto: An Insider's Look at the Worlds of Manga, Anime, and Gaming by Patrick W. Galbraith. I was particularly interested in this book because it contains interviews with two creators involved with Showa magical girls -- Sato Toshihiko (佐藤 俊彦) and Nunokawa Yuji (布川ゆうじ). Nunokawa was involved with several shows in the Studio Pierrot Magical Girl Series, including Magic Angel Creamy Mami (魔法の天使クリィミーマミ), Magic Star Magical Emi (魔法のスターマジカルエミ), Magic Idol Pastel Yumi (魔法のアイドルパステルユーミ), Magic Stage Fancy Lala (魔法のステージ・ファンシーララ). Sato was among the creators of Magical Princess Minky Momo (魔法のプリンセス ミンキー モモ).

Both of them basically say that they never anticipated adult of male fans of their series, and were quite surprised. Nunokawa goes so far as to say that they didn't know how to make money off of the adult fans at first. Nunokawa also says that he believes the enduring power of the magical girl trope lies in its association with opportunities for peaceful change. I tend to agree with that, although I wouldn't want to limit the potential power of the archetype just to that.

Sato mentions Idol Angel Welcome Yoko (アイドル天使ようこそようこ), an early Heisei magical girl I don't hear about very often.

Overall, I enjoyed the bok, and I do finally feel like I understand what moe means which is nice. I do feel like Galbraith shrinks from the most intense question in that field, which is why there's so much focus on youth, but I do understand why.

Is this the episode where Sato doesn't know her own car make. I'm not good with cars either so I would understand but Sato has been involved with solving a case involving cars like hers so she should know.

...

Kogoro almost got his whole family killed. It was only because of Shinichi that they lived. I was going to say who the fuck brings their family on a street race but if he hadn't he would be dead.

I need Shinichi to meet Akako and have his whole worldview flipped.

...

Kogoro is throwing a fit because Ran unplugged the TV to clean up after him just because he can't immediately watch Yoko, instead of just... plugging it back in. Eri can you take custody of Ran please.

...

How did they fall for such a stupid trick T-T It's a good thing Sato was there.

Welcome to the Favorite Classmate Tournament!

This is gonna be a big one. Due to the number of classmates and the fact i couldn't evenly distribute it in a number of pairs and sides that made sense for the brackets (maybe there's a way and I'm just bad at math), every side initially includes 3 pairs and 1 trio each, and finals will be a poll between 3 contenders and y'all will have to live with that, I did my best.

As always, pairs/trios and their order in the bracket were randomly generated.
