The Real Anime Awards of 2023 part 2

Every year, I become increasingly disappointed in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, so I started making my own Anime Award lists THAT ARE FOR THE ACTUAL YEAR IN ANIME! IF CRUNCHYROLL WON'T INCLUDE FALL SHOWS THEN I WILL! I've already done my silly version for 2023, so now it's time for my serious picks. But it's still just for fun, so don't take any of my nominees too seriously or get offended that I didn't include your favorites. Even I can't watch everything.

Full disclosure, I don't include all the same categories that Crunchyroll does (just most of them). These are also only for television shows, so I didn't include any movies (and I really don't watch enough anime movies on a yearly basis to include a movie category).

So that's why this is on here instead of another shounen of the week.)

Best OP (yes there are 8 nominations, I couldn't decide 😭)

Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 (“Specialz” King Gnu)- I really think this season’s OPs should be taken as a pair, but when it comes down to which OP will stand the test of time, I think this one will be more iconic.

BRUISES | YANDERE!MISHIMA x READER | BLACK BUTLER

~ WRITING COMMISSIONS ~ ~ PATREON ~ ~ KO-FI ~ ~ NOVELS ~

Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction. I do not own anything except my own writing. All properties belong to their respective creators.

They became painfully obvious.

The bandages. The plasters. The cuts. The bruises.

Even wearing that cream turtleneck hardly helped, because anyone who took so much as a second look could immediately tell. Yuuki Mishima didn't live happily. He didn't live freely. He lived under someone else's thumb.

And that thumb was steadily pressing down upon you as well...

Kamoshida must have thought he was the king, because he sure acted like one. Treating others how he pleased and taking what he wanted, while still maintaining a clever facade that made it seem like he was a noble, friendly guy.

You hated him. You knew what he was really like. What he did to the students who were too scared to speak up.

The males got beaten. You knew that much because of the state poor Mishima was in.

The girls got hounded. You knew that because of...Shiho.

Ann always visited her at the hospital, so at least she had that much comfort. Still...it was little condolence after what she had been through. You truly despised Kamoshida...and eventually you grew tired of seeing Mishima suffering on his own. Forced to endure in silence, terrified to the point where he wouldn't say a word about it. Others did ask, some did question, but he would always force a shaky smile and laugh it off with a “what are you talking about” sort of statement.

So you got yourself involved. Joined the volleyball team, even knowing who the coach was.

It took some time and cautiousness on your part, but eventually you witnessed something that proved what kind of man Kamoshida really was.

He kept Mishima back for 'practice' one day, and you wisely lingered around, suspicious of what he truly intended. You watched through a crack in the gym door, and witnessed it all. Kamoshida must have pounded that rubber volleyball against Mishima's face so many times it could have broken his nose.

You nearly intervened, but fear and apprehension seized both your arms, holding you back from opening that door.

And you resented yourself for it ever since.

Mishima didn't even know that you knew, so your invitation to get some ice cream together must have just seemed like a nice gesture. Really it was a subtle way for you to ask forgiveness. You wanted to bring him even a little joy, and it was on you.

He showed up late but you hardly cared. It was a sunny enough day so you waited outside the parlour for him, scanning the various options displayed on the banner outside. They were all so colourful and carefully crafted that they looked a little too good to eat.

“Ah, [Y/N]!”

A gentle voice called and you looked over, immediately breaking out in a warm smile when you saw Mishima approaching. He was jogging lightly your way, but stumbled the moment he reached you and quickly caught himself against the pole holding the banner up, knocking it a bit. “Whoops-!”

“Careful there.” you urged and reached out to steady his arm. You were shocked when you felt a flinch as soon as your fingers graced him, and instinctively jerked your hand back.

Mishima gave you a sheepish look.

“I...I'm sorry. I guess I didn't get enough sleep last night...”

He's still trying to hide it.

“Well, that's alright.” you shrugged it off and opened the door so you could both go inside. “After you.”

Really, you only ever had more confidence when you were around Mishima. He was far shyer than yourself so it helped, but put you in a room with Kamoshida and you'd be just as much of a quivering mess. You'd come to realize that as big of a hero as you wanted to be, you didn't have the courage to confront the man. Someone had to stop him though.

Someone...

As you sat down with Yuuki and thanked a passing waitress for the menus she handed you both, you opened yours up but peered over the top of it at him. He was busy studying his own copy so he didn't notice you looking.

You saw them. He was wearing another shirt with a high collar, always prepared. But it had slipped down and bunched up a bit around his neck, revealing an indigo welt on the side of it.

You could have crushed the menu in your hands. It sickened you. This boy was too kindly to deserve treatment like this. Did he really mess up so badly and so consistently that he deserved to get beaten like that?

No, of course not. The only reason he took so much damage was because Kamoshida enjoyed it. Mishima was a toy to him. Eventually he'd end up breaking him, just like he did with Shiho...

“...I'm...really not sure what to order...” Mishima admitted, actually looking embarrassed about it to some extent. Of course he didn't need to be, but you decided to help out by setting your own menu down and pointing to an icy looking vanilla and blueberry sundae.

“I'm thinking the 'Jack Frost', maybe you could have the same? Or if we get a big one we could share?”

That kind of came out without real intention. You were treating Mishima as a best friend, forgetting that he was still a guy. Though even a girl might feel shy about this sort of thing too. Regardless, he went totally pink in the cheeks.

“U-um...I mean if you want to share we can but...”

Ah...that would look a bit...

“No, we can just get separate ones!”

You saved the awkwardness, just. Mishima visibly squirmed in his seat a bit, almost as if he really did want to take you up on your original offer, but any chance passed as soon as you placed your order. He silently cursed his own relentless shyness. It only seemed to grow tenfold when he was around you, which was painful considering you were one of the few true friends he had. It left him paranoid, worrying that he'd slip up and send you running away.

Yet you didn't feel that way about him at all. If anything, you could kind of relate to what he was feeling. But those things went unsaid.

A lot of things went unsaid.

As you started eating you hoped that maybe Mishima would relax a bit and open up to you about what was going on. You had yourself convinced that your own hesitations would bleed away if he personally asked you for help. You'd feel so compelled to save him that you'd stop being scared, surely.

Perhaps that was just a fool's hope though. The conversations you had were as bland as this vanilla, deliberately skirting around anything potentially heavy. So desperately you wanted to question those newly applied plasters doubled up on his cheeks, even if you suspected you'd get an answer like “a cat scratched me”, but you only ended up discussing the weather, the current schoolwork you had, and other mindless things.

However...although at first you feared this wasn't helping Mishima at all, you began to notice something. His posture, steadily relaxing. A little bit of a smile coming to light on his lips. A calmness settling in those typically startled and weary eyes. The more you chatted about your favorite movies and books, the happier he seemed to become, until eventually you noticed an enthusiasm that surprised you.

“I really didn't expect the twist at the end! Who would have thought the murderer was a police detective the whole time?”

Mishima spoke eagerly now, on a roll. You sat back a little with surprise but just smiled wider, listening intently to every word he said. This was what you had been hoping for, yearning for. To see him actually experiencing some sort of joy...

“Hey Mishima, do you mind if I come sit next to you?” you requested suddenly, and he actually agreed to it, albeit with a scarlet flush building on his cheeks again.

“S-sure thing...”

“Thanks. It'll just make it easier for us to talk to each other.”

But really, it would make it a lot easier to bring up the topic of those marks without letting other people overhear. The place wasn't super busy but it didn't hurt to be cautious.

Sitting down on his side of the booth, you immediately felt the slight warmth emanating from his person, the delicate smell of shampoo that lingered on his body. Yet you also noticed those little quivers he had been trying to hide, and of course...those damn...

“...Bruises...”

You murmured the word, but watched him go still as stone as soon as you said it. Mishima slowly turned his head and looked at you with wide eyes. Clearing your throat, you reached for your half finished ice cream and slid it over, poking away at the chocolate base in the bottom of the glass with your long spoon.

“I know you probably don't want to talk about them...but I can't ignore them any longer, Mishima-” you turned your head and looked him straight in those nervously stricken eyes.

“Please tell me the truth. Kamoshida has been...hurting you too, hasn't he?”

Typically Mishima would have brushed it off and come up with some excuse, just like he did when anyone else asked. Yet something about your question was totally different. It made his blood run cold when he heard it.

'Too'?

“[Y/N]...d-did you...did he...?”

“Hurt me as well? I guess I phrased that badly...” you sighed and swirled your spoon around, listening to the subtle sound it made, the glass ringing like a distant bell. “He hasn't laid a hand on me yet, but whenever he looks at me...I know he wants to do something.”

Mishima swallowed thickly. His eyes focussed on your form. Your pretty face and body, the gentle way you carried yourself. How pure and sweet you were, how kind as to give him the time of day and actually bother to spend time with him like this. The thought of Kamoshida doing anything to you...that changed the whole ball game, so to speak.

His nails dug a little in the edge of the table, and he looked down with teeth grit behind his lips. Yet they parted when he spoke lowly:

“I-if he does anything to you...tell me...”

“Mishima...” you looked over sadly at the dark blue haired boy, straightening up and setting your spoon down. Your hand came out and gently touched his arm. “Don't worry about me, you're the one who needs help here. I can see what he does to you. I know you try to hide it, I know you try to make excuses, but I've seen the truth for myself.”

And so you told him about the time you saw him being beaten up. And you watched as he looked at you, his heart clearly heavy. It must have been such a burden for him to keep it a secret. Yet even though you knew now...it didn't actually feel so bad.

In fact, he almost felt relieved.

You looked at him so kindly he could have cried. When your hand reached down and took his own upon his lap, he didn't hesitate much before squeezing yours in return. Your touch was as gentle as your manner, and he realized something so clearly then.

He needn't have worried at all.

You wanted to know about what he was dealing with. You wanted to help.

“I should have done something earlier, and I'm sorry. I was too nervous then, I was scared...” you confessed, and lifted his hand up just so your other could wrap around his knuckle. You were doing this under the table so people had no reason to stare. “...But I want to do something about it. I want to stop him, so he won't hurt you or me, or Shiho, or anyone else again.”

Mishima wanted that too, he really did. And though he was just as worried about what might happen, your own summoned determination gave him a little bit of hope too.

“...Then...let's work hard to stop him together.”

Neither of you knew how you'd do it, but you nodded in response, and so too did he.

He also happened to notice something then, while you were looking at him. Something not nearly quite so serious, but still something that ought to be amended, and could be. This would be his first act of confidence. His favour to you...

You flinched a little, having gone off in thought after letting go of his hand, and suddenly feeling something touch your cheek just by the corner of your mouth. Mishima wiped away the fleck of ice cream with his thumb and brought his hand back to himself. You watched him stare at the remnant of dessert on his digit with eyes crossed and focused, figuring he'd just wipe it off somewhere, only to watch in shock as he cleaned it off his hand with a simple lick.

His touch alone had left you red but this left you flustered and spluttering. “M-Mishima-!!”

“Ah!” Immediately he was just as rose and bowing his head repeatedly, clasping his hands together. “A-ah I'm sorry, that was weird of me! I'm super sorry!”

Well, as 'super sorry' as he was, the problem wasn't that it had been weird. If anything it had been just what a...boyfriend might do. Could you imagine Mishima being your boyfriend? The thought left your heart positively pounding and you had to look away from his equally fumbling self.

Yet there was no hiding the smile on your lips, as you pondered a hopeful possibility.

Perhaps he was a lot more confident than you thought...

Perhaps this alliance of yours would lead to something more...

𝟎𝟎𝟑 𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐈𝐂 𝟏 — 𝐆𝐄𝐇𝐄𝐍𝐍𝐀

Song: Gehenna (wotaku ft. Hatsune Miku)

Key: Lyrics in blue, romaji in bold, descriptions in black

CWS: Sui ideation, visuals of drowning, choking, pregnancy, blood, death, child death, implied attempted suicide.

[ During the instrumental intro, we see Ryuko sitting up in bed, holding her head. She turns and looks at a photo of a black-haired man sitting on the bedside table as the camera focuses on it. ]

Hey, how are you? How's it going? naa genki? choushi wa dou dai?

Yeah, well, I've quit that kind of thing already aa mou ne sou iu no yametan da

Yeah, well, I hear there's no prospect of recovery anymore un nanka mou kaifuku no mikomi wa nai sou nanda

Don't ask me anything nani mo kikanaide kure

[ Ryuko is on the phone with someone, talking away during these lyrics. On the second line, her smile turns to a frown. She moves from a sitting position to a lying-down position as she’s talking, crossing one leg over the other on the sofa. ]

Regret, estimation, a friendly talk koukai nebumi danshoukai

Caregiving, joy, sharing? I surrender all kaigo etsu kyouyuu mo sarendaa da

Yes, that's right, 100% it was my fault hai sou desu shoushinshoumei boku no sei datta

The typical story yoku aru hanashi

[ Ryuko looks down at her child, who is sitting on the floor, playing with dolls and not paying attention. During the final line, her expression darkens as she stares down at the ground, the background flashing red for a few seconds. ]

I wanted to realize plain and simple tanjunmeikai o mono ni shitakute

Killing the ideal of what it's supposed to be kaku arubeki to iu risou o koroshite

[ A shot of Ryuko and the man from the picture walking together, arms interlocked, with smiles on their faces. The sunlight quickly turns to night, and the man’s expression switches to a rather sinister one as he turns to look at Ryuko. ]

I've had it enough. I don't have the courage to leave mou sanzan datte nigeru yuuki mo nai

Hurry, deeper, falling hayaku motto ochite

[ We flash to present Ryuko, who is shaking her head aggressively. In the second line, she’s shown drowning in dark water, images of happy memories with the man playing in the background as the drowning woman hides her face in shame. ]

"I want to stay alive" "ikite itai yo"

Evеry night, transparent summary suffocates my throat maiyo nodo o fusagu toumei no gaiyou

[ The scenes in the background flash to darker imagery, bad memories Ryuko had with the man. The background begins to flash red as if splattered with blood. Ryuko’s hands move from her face to her throat as if choking herself. ]

The rеality that caves in my lungs hai o mushibamu jitsuzai mo

Irrationality and loneliness, you don't have to hate them rifujin mo kodoku mo uramanakute ii

[ The floating, drowning Ryuko rotates counterclockwise as she curls in on herself, the memories in the background alternating between good and bad memories. ]

They all mean nothing sorera subete imi wa nain da

We all have to live bokura wa ikiru shikanain da

[ We go back to reality, with Ryuko sitting up in bed once more, repeating the scene from the very start of the MV. This time, instead of looking at the picture, she looks straight at the camera with a determined expression. ]

Hey you, how are things? oi omae socchi wa dou dai?

Oh, still, you are doing that aa mada sonna koto yatten da

By the way, what happened to the one you were dating? sou iya tsukiatteta ko to wa dou nattan da?

Don't say anything anymore nani mo iwanaide kure

[ Ryuko is sitting across from a faceless blonde woman at a café, holding an infant in her arms. She’s smiling and chatting away with the other woman. On the third line, her expression darkens and her eyes widen, and on the final line, in a flash of red, the blonde woman is facing a now empty chair, dumbfounded. Where Ryuko once was now lies a puff of vanishing smoke. ]

The future, jealousy, the sense of failure shourai netami haibokukan

Wireless, I can't even hang myself up waiyaresu kubi mo tsurenai na

Yes, delightful, what a profound story hai kyouetsu taihen mi ni shimiru ohanashi deshita

Are you satisfied now? mitasareta kai?

[ Ryuko cradles the child in her arms close to her chest in a black background, red eyes watching her every move. ]

Pitch dark, clouded and broken heart makkuroku nigotte wareta kokoro o

I disinfect with alcohol to sleep arukooru de shoudoku shite nemuru

I become the gloomy water of the big ocean mou antan taru taiga no mizu ni natte

Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper, falling motto motto motto motto ochite

[ Ryuko falls back into the water, only this time, it’s red. She’s less worried about drowning this time, seemingly apathetic to the situation. She’s still cradling her child close to her. Memories flash in the background, except this time, it’s memories of who she was before meeting the man. ]

"I want to stay alive" "ikite itai yo"

Every night, the air and the future grab my throat maiyo nodo o tsukamu kuuki mo mirai mo

[ One of her hands reaches up to grab at her throat while the other holds her child. The memories in the background are replaced by memories of Ryuko trying to find the man after he disappears. ]

Flesh that deceives to be the organs naizou o kataru nikukai mo

Happiness, the space, you don't have to be skeptical shiawase mo uchuu mo utagawanakute ii

[ The memories in the background show clips of Ryuko’s pregnancy up until the birth of her daughter. Ryuko is rotating counterclockwise like before. Her arm returns to its place of holding her daughter. ]

They all don't change sorera subete kawaranain da

We all don't have to know bokura wa shiranakute iin da

[ We see the Ryuko in reality holding a paper and looking over at her child. ]

"I want to stay alive" "ikite itai yo"

I don't know why, but "I want to stay alive" nande ka wakaranai kedo "ikite itai yo"

[ The drowning Ryuko switches the direction she’s rotating in. ]

The Bible called DNA DNA to iu seisho

You don't have to hate on your instinct and fears honnou mo kyoufu mo uramanakute ii

Nothing will ever change douse nani mo kawaranain da

[ The memories change to one singular image of the man’s grinning face in every bubble as the child disappears in a puff of smoke from Ryuko’s arms as the background turns black. As the child disappears, all movement freezes on the final line, Ryuko becoming a white silhouette reminiscent of a crime scene outline for a moment. ]

"I want to stay alive" "ikite itai yo"

There's no hope ahead, but "I want to stay alive" nan no kibou mo nai kedo "ikite itai yo"

My instinct thumps in red honnou wa akaku myakuutsu no

"I want to stay alive," "I don't want to stay alive" "ikite itai yo" "ikitetakunai yo"

It's so unfortunate hontou ni zannen dakedo

But we all have to live bokura wa ikiru shikanain da

[ Throughout these lines, the background flashes between red and black in time with the music. The memories in the back switch to a dark bedroom with red blood splatters, then switch to a lone window with billowing red curtains, and then back and forth until the end of the stanza. ]

I'm sorry I deceived you damashite gomen yo

[ We flash back to reality, where Ryuko lies on the floor, hugging her knees, tears streaming down her face. ]

I'm sorry I couldn't tell you ienakute gomen yo

[ The scene flashes to her sleeping child in the bed, but the child doesn’t seem to be moving anymore. ]

And this is so sad soshite hontou ni kanashii keredo

[ The camera switches back to Ryuko, who is still crying, but smiling now. ]

But only suffering is the bond kurushimi dake ga kizuna nanda

[ The scene zooms out to a now-empty room, with the same open window and billowing red curtains as shown in one of the earlier memories. ]

HGSN 16.5 (Vol 3. SP)

This translation is text only. As the Japanese chapter isn't officially available online, I have added some basic image description in italics.

Rough translation by me

P1

[In the classroom. Asako has pulled the collar of her PE jersey over her head.]

Yoshiki: ...Asako, what're you doing?

Yuuki: She said she overslept and her hair's a real mess

Asako: Yeah...

Yoshiki: Doesn't doing that look weirder? Like Jamila*

Asako: You're underestimating my curly hair!

Asako: It's reeeally bad!

(* - Ultraman villain Jamila)

P2

[Asako pulls her jacket back down, causing her hair to poof out like a ball]

(sfx: poof)

Yoshiki: Woah

Asako: See? I work hard to fix it everyday!

Yoshiki: It is pretty voluminous

Yuuki: I think its cute though, like a bichon frise

[Asako pulls the collar back over her head]

Asako: In elementary, they called me Akan-ko* though...

Yuuki: It's a marimo

(* - Lake Akan is known for the Marimo balls that grow there)

P3

Asako: Must be nice...

Asako: Yoshiki and Yuu-chan both have silky straight hair, I'm jealous

Yuuki: Hikaru has hair that a bit curly, too. Maki also... well, he doesn't have hair, so I can't tell

Asako: If it was as short as Hikaru's, I wouldn't care

Asako: What do the two of you do to make your hair so silky?

P4

Yuuki: Early to bed, early to rise?

Yoshiki: Nothing really...I air-dry my hair...

Yoshiki: ....

Asako: The world... is so cruel.

Yoshiki: I'll ask my mom later, she's a hairdresser

Asako: Really?

[Yuuki looks thoughtfully into the distance]

P5

[Nighttime at Yuuki's house. Yuuki has glasses on and her hair down. She watches a tutorial on youtube while practicing on a younger sibling.]

Youtuber: I'll teach you how to do braids!

P6

[Next day, in class]

Yuuki: Aa-chan, let me borrow you for a moment

Asako: Huh?

[Part of Asako's hair has been braided and pinned to the side of her head. It is extremely cute.]

Asako: Ehh!! That's amazing!

Yuuki: I thought maybe this would keep the volume down, heh

Asako: Amazing, amazing!

P7

Asako: You're usually super ham-handed when it comes to anything besides cooking, Yuu-chan, how'd you do it?

Yuuki: I'm not ham-handed, I'm just lazy

[Yuuki with a confident expression]

TRAINEE MISSION 013 ( PROJECT ORIGIN PART 2 )

SCHEDULE TYPE: TRIMESTER ( PART 2 OUT OF 2 ) SCHEDULE RESTRICTIONS: Cannot be paired with another trimester schedule, unless stated otherwise. for reference as to whether your muse is eligible for this event, please click over HERE.

( important note: this is the second and last of the two-part trainee mission for this term. )

on MAY 15, all of the trainees who auditioned were gathered together. with SEO YOUNGJAE and KWON SOYI present, they reveal the first set of good news, which are the roles.

to give some context to PROJECT ORIGIN - THE BEGINNINGS, the musical is split into two acts ( PATTERN A and PATTERN B ). PATTERN A’s story is one where the knights will be entering the tower and fighting against their counterparts, which are themselves. PATTERN B’s story will be about the knights who are outside of the tower and waiting to see the fate of their fellow comrades. for the roles, we’ve split them according to THREE CATEGORIES; MAJOR ( similar to a main/lead role in a musical ), MINOR ( similar to a supporting role in a musical ), and ENSEMBLE.

when deciding who would be in MAJOR, we based it on anyone that had at least +50 SINGING, +50 DANCING, +50 PERFORMANCE, +50 ACTING, and +50 KOREAN as of the TRAINEE MISSION 012 ( PART 1 ) deadline AND if they completed all of the writing requirements. anyone who didn’t meet those point requirements would fall under MINOR. with ENSEMBLE, everyone who joins the rp after MAY 14, didn’t submit the writing requirements for PART 1 of the mission, OR had 0-1 points in SINGING, DANCING, PERFORMANCE, and/or ACTING at the time of the part 1 deadline ( MAY 13 ) would automatically be in the ENSEMBLE category.

the cast for the 2023’s version of PROJECT ORIGIN - THE BEGINNINGS ( MUSICAL ) are as follows:

PATTERN A - MAJOR

for reference, these are the skills that they will be asked to work on:

BEHIND THE SCENES/PROMOTIONS

to hype some of the avid lgc and project origin fans, the company has decided to promote a bit of the musical by filming some of the practice rehearsals leading up to the day of the musical ( which is SATURDAY, JULY 1 ). this means that there will be days when cameras will be filming the trainees during their rehearsals and be asked to all be in their best behavior when it happens. if you want a general idea of how the videos would look like, you can refer over here: EXAMPLE #1 / EXAMPLE #2. the promotion videos will be released from JUNE 24 to JULY 1.

REQUIREMENTS

MAJORS & MINORS: write a thread of four replies ( minimum 8 lines ) with another cast member from the same pattern as you ( ex. if you’re in PATTERN A, it would have to be someone from that group ) OR someone from the ensemble about anything directly related to the musical. this can be about the rehearsals, on performance day, or behind the scenes of a performance. do note that as part of the promotions leading to the day of the musical, there will be some days when the musical production will be filming snippets of the practice rehearsals to garner some hype towards the musical, so it is expected to be on their best behavior! completing this will earn you +5 POINTS IN SINGING, DANCING, PERFORMANCE, KOREAN, OR ACTING and +6 NOTORIETY !
