The IYA begins a secret black operation that several low ranked soldiers aren't permitted to join nor know anything of. Despite wanting to be a part of it, Rena, Ragoni, and Reiji are completely barred from these secret ops and are ordered to remain at the base. Out of curiosity in regards to the sudden crystallization phenomenon, Reiji sets off with Ragoni while Rena (begrudgingly) stays behind to maintain their post as they secretly investigate it.

Japan presents record defense budget for 2022 while tension increases around Taiwan

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 12/25/2021 - 11:44 pm in Military, War Zones

The Japan office approved a record defense budget of 5.4 trillion enenes ($47 billion) for Fiscal 2022 which includes funding for research and development of a new combat jet and other weapons that will "change the game" while Japan strengthens its defense capabilities in response to growing military power and its tensions with Taiwan.

The budget increase of 1.1% for the year beginning in April is the 10th consecutive increase in defense spending and is in line with Japan's commitment to the United States to strengthen its own defense capabilities to combat increasingly challenging security issues in the region.

The budget, which still needs to be approved by Parliament, includes a record value of 291 billion yen (US$ 2,55 billion) for defense research and development, up to 38% of the current year.

Of this, 100 billion yen ($870 million) is for the development of the F-X fighter jet to replace Japan's fleet of old F-2 aircraft around 2035. It would be the first fighter jet developed in Japan in 40 years.

Japan and Great Britain recently announced the joint development of a future jet engine demonstrator and agreed to explore more aeronautical technologies and combat subsystems. The project includes Mitsubishi and IHI companies in Japan and Rolls-Royce and BAE Systems in the United Kingdom.

Japan will collaborate with the United Kingdom to develop a jet engine for the Tempest sixth-generation fighter.

And as China's military accumulation extends to cyberspace and outer space, Japan's ministry of defense is also funding research on autonomous vehicles operated by artificial intelligence for air and submarine use, supersonic flight and other technologies that "change the game".

The budget allocates 128 billion yen ($1.1 billion) for the purchase of a dozen Lockheed Martin F-35 poachers, including four with short takeoff and vertical landing capabilities for use in two helicopter carriers that are being converted into aircraft carriers, a requirement for joint operations with the United States in defense of the Indo-Pacific region.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, formerly known as mild, quickly adopted more aggressive policies and said that Japan should consider acquiring a preventive attack capability in response to China's military accumulation and North Korea's growing development of missiles and nuclear resources.

New F-35A fighters are expected to arrive in Japan in 2022.

The Japanese and military compiled a joint contingency preparation project for a possible Taiwanese emergency, such as fighting between Chinese and Taiwanese forces, as reported by the Kyoto news agency on Thursday, citing unidentified sources from the Japanese government, amid rising tensions between Taiwan and China.

China states that autonomous Taiwan is its territory, and will be annexed by force if necessary. He increased his military threats, maintaining exercises near the island and frequently sending planes to his air defense identification zone (ADIZ).

Under the reported plan, the U.S. Marine Corps will create temporary bases on the islands in Japan's Nansei chain between Kyushu and Taiwan for the deployment of troops in the early stages of an emergency by Taiwan, while the Japanese military will provide logistical support, as well as ammunition and fuel supplies, Kyodo said.

Japan and the United States will probably agree to start drawing up an official preparation plan at a meeting of their foreign ministers and defense expected in January, Kyodo said.

The plan, which also includes the islands near Okinawa, the site of the bloodiest battle in World War II, will certainly face protests from local residents.

Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi refused to comment on contingency preparations, only saying that Japan and the United States have emergency action plans and plan to update them, but that the details could not be disclosed. Kishi added that a decision by the U.S.-Japan Committee in charge of negotiating the status of the Forces Agreement between nations would allow the U.S. military to open a new base on Japanese soil.

Former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who remains influential in the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, recently warned Chinese President Xi Jinping about unleashing a Taiwanese emergency, saying that China should be aware of the serious consequences.

Japan's defense spending now occupies the top 10 in the world, according to international defense research organizations.

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: I did enjoy myself. There is a lot of comedy in this one. It’s at least 50 - 60% comedy so everyone is laughing from start to finish. It’s about 80% scripted comedy and 20% improve comedy. It was very entertaining and very enjoyable. We all laughed the entire time. So if you just want to enjoy, laugh, have a good time, you are going to LOVE this stage! It’s just one long Hanamaru (the anime) episode to be honest. My favourite parts of the whole stage were definitely Manba and co’s dynamics and relationship. I really, really loved Sayo and Manba’s relationship and body language and small gestures towards each other throughout the play which really shows how close they’ve gotten. It’s really sad that Sayo is only there for the first Tokyo run because the little things he did for and towards Manba just melted my heart. Also, I really, really loved Manba and Doudanuki’s dynamic in this show too! I absolutely adored how Douda treated Manba this time around. However, personally, that’s not what I want from Touken Ranbu. I want pain, I want fighting, I want history, I want conflict. That does not happen in this stage. So this is not what I wanted. I started to get really bored and I got over the jokes after about 45 minutes into the show (the show is 145 minutes long). They repeat the same group/set of jokes about 10 times, so obviously I got bored of them. I feel like this plot could’ve been done in about 30 minutes. The fact they take the entire 145 minutes for this one simple plot line (it’s a really simple story), it really gets boring in some spots. The lack of fighting (which is less than 10 minutes long for the entirety of the play), the lack of history, the lack of conflict (even between the Touken Danshi!) really got to me and this just wasn’t what I wanted. Like I said, I did enjoy myself and I did laugh throughout and I did have a good time. But when Touken has set this ‘dark, despair, historical, fighting’ theme for so long, you can’t expect us to not expect that this time around, AND when we don’t get it, you can’t expect me not to be bored and disappointed. Which is what I am. Disappointed. Again. Rating: 5/10 (if you enjoy comedy and lighthearted stuff then this’d be about 8/10)

SPOILER REVIEW

Story: The story takes place after the events of the game (see details here). So we follow Chougi joining the gang at the Honmaru, but a lot of the gang are against Chougi and Manbachan (Yamanbagiri Kunihiro) meeting because Chougi is the ‘true’ Yamanbagiri sword. So they try to delay and play tricks so they can’t meet. And we follow those shenanigans.

*

I am going to break this down into three groups: ☆ The Good, × The Bad and △ the Neutral/General/Both-Good-and-Bad Comments! So get ready! I’ll do Good first!

☆ It’s difficult to describe, but I loved Sayo and Manba relationship in this one. There was a lot of body language and actions that showed just how much Sayo cared for Manba. There were many moments when he would sit next to Manba and look at him worried, checked if he was okay. When Chougi was trying to verbally attack Manba, Sayo was right by his side, ready to kick Chougi’s ass. Just the small things Sayo did for Manba throughout this play were just so pure and so adorable to watch. It’s such a shame that he’s only there for the Tokyo Shows because I would love see this development between these two’s relationship.

☆ Another relationship I loved in this one was Doudanuki and Manba. If you remember back in Mitsu/JyoDen, Doudan and Manba were always butting heads, but in this one, Doudan wouldn’t leave Manba’s side. He tried SO hard to protect Manba from Chougi, and he tried to hard to keep Chougi away from Manba throughout the entire play, which just shows how much he care for Manba! It was adorable!!

☆ Dounauki on his own is just so great in this stage series! I love Naoki’s performance of him every time!!

☆ At the end of the play, Manba finally got sent off to be Kiwame’d!! So in the next stage we’ll be getting Kiwame ManbaChan!! I cannot wait!

☆ Being able to see Aoki Jin’s acrobatics again was so good! He’s still got it!

☆ Riki as Nansei was adorable! He was really good at showing the catish characteristics he has! And his cat speech was adorable too!

☆ The Manba VS 6 Touken Danshi fight scene was very impressive on MakiChan’s part and it fit completely. Both MakiChan and ManbaChan could’ve wooped all their asses after all the years of training they’ve both technically done in sword fighting.

△ This is a mix of good and bad but, we cannot deny just how amazing MakiChan is at this point when to comes to sword fighting. His movements and his choreography is so good and such a high level by this point! But this is also a bad thing because... it makes it super obvious just how beginner everyone else (especially Chougi’s actor) is at sword fighting when he’s against them. I could painfully see the difference in their choreography levels, especially when MakiChan had fighting scenes against Chougi, and when he was fighting against 6 of the swords at the same time. Their movements and choreography just looks so mediocre and so clumsy and just don’t flow naturally at all next to him. 

△ There were mentions of Ookurikara, Yagen and Jiji throughout the play, so definitely hints they’ll come back in future plays(?). I am excited for Ookuri and Yagen but we all know how I feel about Jiji -_____-

△ Ginga as Gokotai was.... fine. He definitely got the voice and intimidated body language right but... boy’s pretty tall... would’ve been better to find a shorter person?

△ There were no ensemble this time at all.

△ There are no set changes at all. It all takes place at the Honmaru. The set is really big actually! I like how they used all parts of the set, even the upper levels!

△ The umbrellas this time have no names on them! It’s all projection mapped (their names) onto white umbrellas instead this time around.

△ Why are they performing an Autumn/Winter themed play in the middle of summer? The play constantly talks about how Autumn is coming to an end, so why did they perform this in Summer?! That’s hella stupid.

△ I really did enjoy a lot of the comedy parts and I did enjoy my time BUT this isn’t what I wanted from TouStage; this isn’t what I expect from TouStage.

△ What was the point of Maeda playing the narrator in this? And why was it split into chapters throughout the play?

× Because it’s just a comedy that is heavily scripted and nothing major really happens, I see no rewatchability value unfortunately. Once was enough.

× The Opening is very long. It’s a ten minute VIDEO of them fighting and finding Chougi. Why they made it a video instead of actually on stage, I don’t understand. Why it was such a long video? I also don’t understand.

× I strongly feel like they expanded and stretched what could’ve been a 45 minute story into 145 minutes. There was no need for this Chougi vs Manba conflict to go on for the entirety of the the stage. It got very repetitive, and it dragged quite a bit. 

× Also the second storyline about Gokotai? It felt very unnecessary and very much a throw away. It wasn’t needed for the point it was used for. It was used to reintroduce and set-up Jiji into the series and how they all miss him and want him back. But we really didn’t need Gokotai for it. In fact...

× ...50% of this cast is entirely unneeded and unnecessary! I have no idea why half of them were there! When they were all gathered on stage, I could easily look at them and pick out who could’ve been straight up removed. 

If you had to ask me who actually brought something to the story, I would say: Manba, Chougi, Sayo, Doudanuki, and Nansei. Kento was good for the comedy parts. So literally everyone else you could’ve cut out.

× It bothers me that once again, Suemitsu is just stealing from another idea. The Gokotai storyline is basically from Hanamaru, and of course the Chougi backstory is taken straight from the Game Event (which is not the point that bothers me). He seriously cannot make up his own ideas. He hasn’t written a good stage since TRUMP seriously (K Stage doesn’t count because it’s just a carbon copy of the anime). And WHY is he even back?! Hiden was supposed to be his last one! Everyone said! So WHY is he back? Give other writers a chance!

× It really infuriated me how they waited and expected the audience to applause at certain times. One or two times where it’s expected is FINE but the fact they pause and wait SO many times for the audience to clap was just cringey and ewwy. I understand that some jokes are positioned so the audience claps, but when it’s the amount that it is in this play? No thank you. Just makes the actors look cheap and egotistical.

× The soundtrack is completely forgettable this time around! I cannot remember one single tune that stuck to me. I’m a huge Soundtrack lover so the fact nothing caught my ears and nothing caught my attention nor stayed with me is just.... bad.

× This play seriously made me hate Chougi! I like Chougi in the game but in this? He’s just a pompous, ignorant prick. I walked out absolutely HATING him! How dare he treat Manba and the rest of them like that! Motherf-ker.

× Personally, I found no moving, no emotional, no sad moment in the play this time. That’s bad and boring writing in my opinion.

× I’ve said this many times already but, they repeat the same 4 or 5 jokes about 10 times within the first 75 minutes of the play. That is total overkill. It got old fast, I quickly got bored (the 45 minute point was when it was starting to grate on me).

× There is all of ONE fight scene the entire play, and (I timed it) it takes up less than 15 minutes of the entire play.  And it was glaringly obvious to see the skill level difference between MakiChan and everyone else (in all honesty).

× Another personal thing for me, but I find Kato Sho completely exhausting. He’s so damn loud and so over the top as Ookanehira. He just exhausts me. He’s great as himself but as Ookane? Just no thank you.

× Chougi and Manba don’t meet until the 75 minute part. Which is excessively late. You could’ve had them meet up about 30 minutes in. It really was stretched out too far.

× The theatre itself was freezing as FACK! Absolutely freezing in there!

*

And that’s all! In conclusion, it could’ve been much better and wasn’t what I wanted. But I feel like I say this EVERY TIME. Maybe I really should just stop. Why do I even say I like TouStage when it’s evident I’m disappointed like... every time! *sigh*

Nansei The Antiquity of Ever Silence

南西  永晶界

Nansei Eiseikai, “Forever Crystal World from the Southwest”

One day strange formations of crystals appeared in the northern parts of Kuusou no Sekai. They began to quickly spread throughout the region, permanently crystalizing everything and anything in its path, from objects to people like a virus. If something isn’t done soon, then the entirety of Kuusou no Sekai and its inhabitants will become lost to the crystal infestation forever.

4 teams of 2 have set off to investigate this strange and wondrous phenomenon, each with their own reasons for fighting this new threat.

The real question is who exactly will explore the Crystal World? And just what will they find waiting deep within?

That journey may change them forever...
