#yukina is my fave from this series

[aladris21]

“It was you all along...”

[aizenat]

I’m a long time fan. I don’t get obsessive with things I love to the level that seems consistent with “die hard” fans but I don’t think that should minimize my “status” as a long time fan of this show. I definitely am someone who can say I “grew up” on yyh, and it’s def always going to be in my top ten anime faves.

That said, the trailer seemed fun. The action especially looks like the big pull, and that is literally what I love most about yyh. Im also familiar with some of the actors (especially the one playing Yusuke), and I think they’re talented and acting wise will bring what is needed for this story.

I was really surprised to see they intended to do the Yukina rescue arc. I’m assuming they’re skipping the Four Beasts arc, which I’m not mad about because that would be difficult for a host of reasons. I think them focusing on that Yukina plot line (I’m assuming this will end after their fight against the Toguro brothers, and leave the open ended Demon Tournament for a potential season two plot) will allow for some great early character development with all four of our main boys.

I’m already seeing complaints on some of the styling and while I get it, I’m honestly over the whole meltdown fans are doing over things not looking exactly like the anime. The anime is there and easy to watch on multiple platforms if people want to rewatch it. If they’re going to do a live action, especially as a series instead of a movie, they need a reason for it to exist.

I know first hand that beat for beat live actions of anime is literally not a fun time. There are things about anime that work for that medium that don’t work for live action adaptations. Not to mention it’s kinda boring seeing the thing you already saw (and considering how long yyh had been around, it’s probably safe to say that most fans have seen the series multiple times) yet AGAIN. Not to mention that if you can create a condensed yet entertaining story in the live action, it will drive new fans checking the anime out. Win win all around if it’s done well.

I think getting caught up on looks is stupid. I get it; Kurama’s wig looks bad and Kuwabara has blond hair and it doesn’t look like he’ll be rocking that pompadour (at least not the dramatic one from the show). But seriously, who cares? That pompadour was dated when the original anime came out, so a more modern yankee (as modern as Japanese delinquents can be) style, especially with the popularity of Tokyo Revengers in Japan, seems more fitting. And Kurama’s wig looked better in some of the action moments in the trailer: again, what works for anime won’t always translate to a live action. And his hair style would be almost impossible to replicate and use for months of shooting action scenes; as a frequent wig wearer myself, wigs are VERY limiting when trying to be active and so it’s an adjustment that makes sense.

My only concern and worry is the fact that this is NETFLIX. The one piece adaptation got good feedback, the Avatar show coming out looks good so far, so in terms of the quality, I feel that it’s safe to say while there’s obviously going to be changes, it’s likely going to be a good and fun adaptation. BUT I have to wonder if Netflix just did this to get YYH fans to watch for the nostalgia and will cancel it immediately. They’ve done it time and time again, and they’re on some bs in general which made me cancel years ago. So I’m hesitant to watch it because what’s the point if I watch it, they do end with a nice cliffhanger setting up the Dark Tournament, and then just cancel it? I think most fans will agree the Dark Tournament is the best arc (or at least the one we remember and think of first when we think of YYH), and I honestly don’t want to get into this if they’re not going to commit. And Netflix has major commitment issues for anything that isn’t big mouth or Emily in Paris.

Either way, any skepticism I have, especially after the trailer, is on Netflix and their piss poor business model more than a fear the show itself will disappoint. I think it’ll be good to watch it alone (close out the noise of the world), and decide for yourself how you feel about it. Outrage culture is at its max rn, so if you (general “you”, not specifically you, since ppl don’t understand general “you”s on the internet anymore) let idiots on the internet ruin it for you because they want to bitch and moan that their specific wishlist for the series didn’t come true, I’d suggest just not watching any reboots, revivals, and/or live action adaptations period because SOMEONE is going to have a problem with it and try to make that everyone else’s problem.

I mean, if it sucks, then it sucks. Plenty of things do these days lol. But I think the trailer looked fun, albeit the color grading a bit darker than I’d prefer, but fitting the tone they seem to be setting. I’m very curious to see how it turned out, I’m hoping I like it.

In terms of if I see love put into it, absolutely. The actors are some rising stars in Japan, and there was a lot of effort to make the characters’ designs perfectly referential while not being over the top. Like it’s hard to make the elder Toguro look…normal and I was surprised how normal he looked all while not looking out of place on his younger brother’s shoulder. Making this story more realistic while honoring the original anime’s quirks is a very hard task, and the little bit I’ve seen so far seems to indicate they put a lot of effort and energy into it.

The Japanese tend to be a lot more earnest in their work, and I feel like it’d be hard to see a Japanese production that wasn’t a labor of love. I think that very aspect (how they didn’t try to make it more western like the most recent live action death note movie) is why I’m willing to give this a chance despite it being on Netflix.

Anyway, hope you don’t mind the long response lol.

Alright: Genuine question.

I didn't grow up on Yu Yu Hakusho.

Any die hard fans see the trailer? How do you feel about it? Do you think it's good or not?

Did you see love put into it?

[for this ask meme, feel free to send more for any series!]

[redxblueihateloveyou]

Hey, there!! 👋😄 Sorry to bother you again, just passing by to share a bit more of love to surpass the (absurd) hate thrown at you, and to say I'm just so happy that you like Sekaiichi Hatsukoi too!! 😍😍😍 Who's your favorite couple from that series?

Hello, love! You stop saying you’re bothering me or I will... get mad haha 

Awwwww you love “Sekaiichi Hatsukoi” too?? Yeeeees another SH fan *high five*!!!!!!

To me it’s, Takano x Onodera, no competiton xD It’s not even just cause it’s mostly about them, it’s just... they combine so many things I love in ships and fics, that I just fangirl like an idiot.

It’s not even all the situations, it’s the overall vibe, I think.

Like that scene where Ritsu secretly put chocolate into curry on Valentines day (even though Takano asked him to give him chocolate officially), just cause he wouldn’t do it openly out of spite, but still wanted to claim Takano as his, even though no one would know about... it is so hilarious, I fucking cried, it’s so funny and so stupid.. and I just thought, that’s legit what many of my ships would consider just cause.. sounds legit LMAO 

First, they (what I call this) fell in love twice, this is what surprisingly happens to many of my ships. It means they met and fell for each other/liked each other and then there was a time skip during which life made them so different from who they were before, you know, and they still found their way back to each other. I’m such a sucker for this plot and I miraculously stumble onto these ships since forever and love all of them... Rinharu, Mikayuu, Wangxian, Hulian, Nezushi, Ereri, Akakuro (teiko!Kuroko and seirin!Kuroko is literally 15 years old Onodera and Onodera now, it’s hilarious :D he was such a baby bird and then he’s just not lol), now it’s also Khunbaam (when I’ve read about 6 years, i was like... NO NO AM I CURSED LMAO).. well, literally almost all of my ships.

I also love how both of them are stubborn af, even tho it leads to lots of complications. I really don’t think I can decide, who I like more, they’re just both too relatable in so many ways haha I’d usually go for Takano (as like stoic type), but Ritsu is just the sass... I cannot resist the sass. And I love how they’re ‘equals’ (? idk how to describe it, like Onodera is not a “such a bottom”, he’s THE bottom haha) which is a rare thing for yaoi tbh 

I also like that they kinda flipped the tables and the usual "afraid to fall in love and open up” trope went to the bottom, and usually in gay ships it goes to the top, you know “cool, calm, collected” one.

But I just love everything... I love their story, I love their characters, I love their dynamic, everything about them is my type.

I won’t deny, that I adore Kisa/Yukina, I mean, “if you don’t love yourself, I have enough love for both of us” is also my weakness. And I love how they showed that it’s okay to like just want somebody (as in sexually) and there’s nothing wrong with that. That it’s not “love at first sight” it’s “I saw you and I really want to shag you” (and it’s okay), love can come after that sometimes (actually it happens a lot in reality haha). 

The one I completely hate tho is the Yoshino/Hatori one... I literally hate everything about it. Yoshino is seriously the worst. He’s like those typical girls in tv shows and movies, I couldn’t watch anymore, who couldn’t decide which guy they want. Also in reality who in their right mind would fall for this moron? Like Hatori clearly has some mommy issues if he finds great a guy who can’t do anything by himself. And he just loves cooking, cleaning, washing clothes and do everything for him, while he’s out with his friend? Self-respect is not detected. It’s really everything I hate in characters combined. A selfish 5 year old and a mop. UGH. Also Yuu, my poor baby, I do not get it.

So yeah, Takano & Onodera are my faves. I hope you’re asking only about SH, not like the whole their universe incluing Junjou Romantica, cause then it would be significantly harder to choose lol

Phyona (@rageofthenerd)

The way Phyona writes the interactions between Yuuri and Victor are some of my absolute favorite. She writes them as good-natured rivals, always ready to compete against one another; as both coach and both student, willing to direct and support one another; as best friends, willing to tease and goof off with one anther; as lovers, passionately invested in one another; and as soulmates, completing and fulfilling one another. She is amazing at writing both comedy and drama, switching between moods and creating the appropriate emotional gravitas. But her stories have positive messages about growth and becoming stronger together.

Nerve Endings

Rating: Explicit Words: 74.1k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon compliant; Post-season 1; Domestic fluff; Anxiety; Miscommunication; Learning to relationship ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: When Yuuri moves in with Victor in St. Petersburg, they have to work through Yuuri's anxiety and Victor's secrets to find their balance. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: This is my favorite post-season 1 fic where Yuuri and Victor learn to live together. This is a story of their interactions off of the ice and how they inspire each other to be better people and boyfriends. Their interactions are awkward but eager at the beginning, and slowly they learn to work through their issues and grow closer emotionally and sexually. One of my favorite parts about this story is when Yuuri has an anxiety attack and almost convinces himself that Victor doesn't love him like he loves Victor, but he's able to work through the negative thoughts and recognize that it's in his head and that he doesn't deserve to think of himself like that. I really like how he is able to work through it himself, which I think is a powerful message. I recognize that this isn't necessarily possible for all people. We all need help at times and sometimes can't work through things by our own power, and that's why emotional support and medical science are so important. But don't discredit how much you can do yourself. Yes, Yuuri is an anxious bean and he can't help his brain chemistry, but he doesn't let it rule or excuse his decisions. He learns to accept and empower himself for both Victor and himself. I love this sort of hopeful and powerful message.

Puppy Love

Rating: Teen Words: 10.4k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon divergent; Dog Yuuri; Curses; Dead Makkachin; Hurt/comfort ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: When Yuuri gets turned into a dog, the last place he expects to end up is Victor Nikiforov's apartment. He learns quickly that the only thing worse than being his idol's pet, is watching him pine for someone else. ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: A wonderful oneshot that is both humorous and sad. Victor is suffering the loss of Makkachin and becomes attached to puppy Yuuri, and Yuuri simultaneously wants to hide from Victor and emotionally support the man through his grief. The story is charming in how these two become closer in this weird situation that does eventually correct itself. And they have an appropriately awkward yet happy and honest interaction at the end.

Piyo13 (@piyo-13)

Most of Piyo13's stories are fluffy short stories, about 50/50 Victuuri and Phichimetti. All are appropriately sweet. Her wraiths pinned to the mist is a longer fluffy story where Yuuri and Viktor are scientists in Antartica. Her meatiest, and my personal fave, story is a series that takes place in an alternate canon universe where everyone has daemons - external physical representations of a person's inner self. She's currently written three fics in this universe, and I look forward to whatever else Piyo13 writes in it!

hollow ground

Rating: Teen Words: 40.9k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon divergence; Daemons AU; Gold medal ending ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: There's no rules regarding where a daemon has to be in relation to their skater, only that they aren't allowed on the ice. This has always seemed a little unfair to Yuuri. After all, he loves skating like he loves his own soul; why can't he have both? ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: There are several things I love about this story. First, the daemons are adorable and help enhance the story and character scenes without overpowering the characters we already know. They're given their own character without taking up the spotlight, which I feel is the best way to write OCs. Second, despite it being an alternative retelling of the series, every scene feels fresh. Piyo13 is selective about which scenes she covers from the anime, avoiding only retreading over what's familiar. The scenes are altered enough with the presence of the daemons to help them feel new. Additionally, she doesn't let the scenes drag, capturing Yuuri's thoughts succinctly and with wit, and then moving on to the next scene. Even better are the original slice-of-life scenes Piyo13 added to further develop characters and relationships. Moments between Yuuri and Phichit talking over chat (about more than Victor) that delve into their friendship; a moment after JJ's flopped SP where Yuuri helps JJ become motivated again; a moment at the end where Yuuri's parents tell him how proud they are and he thanks them for their love and support; and then all of the new moments between Victor and Yuuri, like when they first start practising pair skating. Third, and probably the best, the last few chapters fix all the major grievances I had with the anime's ending. (Note: If you don't want anything spoiled, stop reading right now). Yuuri gets the gold medal; Chris and Otabek end up on the podium with him; Yuuri and Victor's decision to return to the ice doesn't feel rushed (they return to Hasetsu before discussing their decisions); and, most importantly, Yuuri's decision to return to the ice is only influenced by his own realization that he loves it and that he doesn't want to stop what he's had with Victor just yet. It's not debased or obfuscated by rivalry, when Yuuri's main character arc was always that he's his own worse enemy. The series also includes two side stories: a falling star can't fall forever, a prequel about Victor and Vasilisa; and life's not a paragraph, focusing on Chris. Overall, this is an amazing story.

possibleplatypus (@possibleplatypus)

possibleplatypus has recently started writing fics for this fandom. They've posted two on their AO3 account and have a few more ficlets and one-shots at their tumblr. I would love to read whatever else they bring to this fandom given the quality and creative storylines they've already brought to the table.

a song that never ends (Series, 2 works)

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Rating: Teen -- Words: 18.8k -- Status: Complete -- Summary: Research had needed a new field-tester (they always needed new testers, as most Aurors would “test” an artefact only once before screaming to be reassigned), and thus the most decorated Auror in recent history was currently shouting into a modified “smart phone.” Viktor was quite certain that phones were not alive, so he did not understand how they could be intelligent. He found that when it came to Muggles, it was best not to think too deeply into things. “THIS IS NIKE,” Viktor bellowed into the thin, rectangular case. “CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?”

movie night Rating: Teen -- Words: 2.5k -- Status: Complete -- Summary: However, they had barely started Howl’s Moving Castle before Yuuri wondered if he had made a mistake. "What a fascinating concept! What spells do you suppose Howl is using to keep his, er, moving structure up?" Viktor refused to call it a "castle." A terrible mistake. ❤❤❤❤❤  Words: 21.2k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Harry Potter AU; Aurors; Crossdressing ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: In this series, Yuuri and Viktor are both badass Aurors during a moment of downtime at the beginning of the story - Viktor forced into being a field-tester for the Research Department, and Yuuri recovering from his first, long-term undercover mission. What's really unique about this story is Yuuri's situation and what lead to it. He has taken on a new persona to help ease himself back into his life. Yuuri is amazing and adorable no matter what gender he is, and here he is both. I love how comfortable he is as a woman or a man and how his mannerisms change (and remain the same) across the two. There are a lot of misunderstandings during the first half of the fic - Viktor slowly falling for "Yukina", who reminds him of another Japanese man he was charmed by a year before - but eventually Yuuri opens up completely to Viktor and they become partners. So, so wonderful and sweet! The 2nd fic is a cute, little side-story after they've become partners, where Yuuri tries to show Viktor a Miyazaki movie... and proceeds to regret it once he realizes Viktor's one of those people who must always question and/or nitpick a movie out loud while watching. Haha. The ending where they re-enact an early scene from the movie is horrendously adorable though.

Excelsior by powerandpathos (@agapaic)

Rating: Explicit Words: 77.4k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: (Mostly) Canon compliant; Except homophobia exists; Post season 1; Pair skating; Lesbian OCs ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Yuuri has won the Grand Prix, which was everything he thought he wanted. But for Yuuri, an end to skating could mean an end with Viktor, and when two female skaters approach them with an offer that could make them or break them, they are put to the test more than ever. Can they rise higher than they already have? ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: Another "homophobia exists within the canon universe" story that is still unique and interesting with how it handles the characters. Yuuri and Viktor are approached by a pair of female lovers who want to do a pair skate with each other at an official ISU competition, and they want Yuuri and Viktor to be their pair skating partners to get them to that point. Yuuri is an idealistic activist who never even really knew he was one until given the opportunity to make a difference. He can be a bit ignorant, following his heart on the matter and not fully understanding what he's sacrificing until in the thick of it and starting to be overwhelmed, but he's brave and kind and his heart is in the right place. He can be a bit preachy when it comes to Viktor's choice to support from the sidelines, but still loves him and tries to find a middle ground. Viktor is the pragmatic realist on the other hand, knowing that supporting this endeavor will cause him to lose his prestige and gold medals. Initially he's insensitive about Yuuri's choice, but eventually agrees to support him but in ways that won't cause him to sacrifice his hard-earned legacy. It's not that he doesn't believe in the cause, but rather he's not willing to give up that much. I personally enjoy this taken on Viktor and find his opinion a valid one, even though Yuuri's lines up more with my own ideals. Eventually, he does fully join and support the cause when things become more personal, but before then is a lot of struggle between the two to find middle ground and maintain a supportive relationship. It's a realistic struggle that I'm certain many couples can sympathize with, and I appreciate the story for going there. This story's greatest strength is the real-life issues, struggles, and reactions these characters face, and yet their desire to continue to support, fight, and love one another. It's a really great story that I hope powerandpathos decides to continue again some day in the future.

Drive

Rating: Explicit Words: 28.1k Status: Work In Progress Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon divergence; Road trips; Post Sochi GPF; Fluff; Feels; BFFs saving the day ❤❤❤❤❤  Summary: Yuuri remembers the Sochi Grand Prix banquet. He knows what he had the audacity to ask his idol, but that doesn't make it any less confusing when Victor Nikiforov shows up at Nationals two weeks later with a bouquet of roses in hand and a smile that doesn’t fool anyone. Victor has lost his drive and should be prepping for the European Championship instead of flying to Japan on a whim. After a crushing defeat at Nationals, Yuuri is in the midst of a crisis himself. Good thing they have their best friends – Phichit and Christophe – at their sides to keep them from falling apart. When Victor learns Yuuri must return to Detroit to finish college, he makes a rash decision to come to America with him. But why rush the journey? There's more than a week before classes start, dual existential crises to escape, and a budding romance to nurture. Time for a road trip. (A story in which two sets of best friends road trip across America together.) ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: Man, we aren't even to the road trip yet - we aren't even back in Detroit yet - and I'm already in love with this fic. proantagonist writes some of the best character interactions across all YOI fanfics - between Yuuri and Phichit, Yuuri and Victor, Yuuri and Chris, etc. And I am already so strongly invested in all four of the characters here. Chris' advice is halting Victor from his most unintentionally harshest commentary. Phichit is providing the emotional support that Yuuri needs at this time. And Victor and Yuuri are forming a connection earlier due to their friends' support. The latest chapter is my fave - they've pretty much had the entire beach scene conversation from episode 4, Victor has opened up about feeling lost at this moment in his life, Yuuri has an anxiety attack and snaps out all of his frustractions, Victor meets him in the middle, and they agree to help each other through their rough patches. Everybody is so supportive and wonderful, and I love such positive relationships. It's a sped-up version of their relationship from the anime with less miscommunication issues. And while I can definitely appreciate a slowburn, sometimes you just want to avoid a repeat of the same scenarios or the miscommunication tropes. That doesn't mean that there isn't a potential for more angst or miscommunication (I mean, there's always this fic's version of "Let's end this"), but everything is at a pretty healthy point currently. It warms my heart. And the roadtrip aspect just has the potential for so many more warm, supportive moments. I can't wait for more!

Winter Song Universe (Series, 2 works)

Winter Song Rating: Explicit -- Words: 156.5k -- Status: Complete -- Summary: Yuuri was aware that at some point — a moment in time he couldn’t quite place — Victor had become his boyfriend. There wasn’t a single instant when it happened. It was a slow awareness, as if Victor had silently been asking the question for months now, and Yuuri had been giving him the answer a little more with each passing day.

Falling (Victor's Story) Rating: Teen -- Words: 69.7k -- Status: Complete -- Summary: "What do you want me to be to you?" "I want you to be yourself." And wasn’t that just the funniest thing? This whole time, Victor had been trying to figure out which mask to wear to make Yuuri happy, when all he wanted was for Victor to take it off and show him the real person beneath. ❤❤❤❤❤  Words: 226.1k Status: Complete Relationship: Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov Tags: Canon compliant; Post season 1; Scenes between episodes; Fluff; Smut ❤❤❤❤❤  Review: In a lot of ways, I consider this the essential companion fic to the series. The story takes care to be true to the canon material while fleshing out the characters and their relationships with each other more. It doesn't spend time rehashing what we already see in the series; instead it focuses on fleshing out the scenes between the episodes and after the end of season 1. The story mostly focuses on the developing romance between Victor and Yuuri and has a lot of very well-written smut and emotional hurt/comfort scenes. For those perhaps confused by some of the characters' actions or motivations in the series, this story provides one potential interpretation by a fan who has extensively written and thoughtfully considered many potential headcanons on her tumblr. It's clear she deeply cares about the characters to spend so much time analyzing the series. She takes a lot of care to remain faithful to the series, while still fleshing out the Victuuri romance. It's a beautiful story.

Kasumi, Aya, and Yukina for the bandori ask thing !

oh man sorry for the late reply i just saw this ;A; but hey thanks for asking anyway

kasumi✧ something you’ve done/started impulsively? how’d it turn out?

oh man, lot’s of things! aside from love live, all the rhythm games i play were impulsive - i started playing enstars bc i really liked the art and the merch so i started playing it on vacation, and i joined bandori last may bc i wanted to play a new tap tap game right when my exams ended! outside of mobage, i’m less of a risk taker lmao but i have a hard time saying no so i end up doing things then (they normally turn out well tho!)

aya ✧ do you have a favourite music artist? what’s your favourite song by them?

omg i probably sound super lame rn but i only ever listen to japanese music, mainly songs from animes i’ve watched,, that’s kind of why i like idol games so much since they interweave music with cute 2d charas! my fave artists in that small pool are probably aqours, roselia and ryuseitai ehe and i like a lot of songs by them hhh my current fave is determination symphony by roselia!

yukina✧ is there something that you like that isn’t common knowledge? are you embarrassed about it, or intentionally hide it?

ah! in real life most of my current friend circle who aren’t weebs (like me rip) know i like anime and gaming; i don’t really do much to hide it but i guess they don’t really know what exactly my specific interests in that field are? yeah

online i’m quite open about what i like but there is one fandom that i definitely talk less about compared to the rest,, the series is kind of problematic and it’s hard to explain why i feel so strongly about it (especially a certain character in it) plus when i do see people who are in that fandom, i’m skeptical on why they like it since my reason for liking it is really personal and helped me come to terms with myself,, so i do try to hide it at times ˚▱˚
