[ASK GAME]

15.) Who is your OC’s best friend?

ATSUKO ASHIKAGA:

"We have been friends for as long as I can remember. We shared a bunk in the Military Academy, back when we were little children. We share a title, and much of our free time together. I do not know what I would do without her - she's one of the few people in this world who I think actually understands me. Sometimes, just going out for lunch with her alone feels lifesaving. She means everything to me. If anything ever happens to her, I'm killing whatever is responsible with my bare fucking hands."

BERNE HUXLEY:

"We've been friends since, like, High School! There really hasn't been a minute since then that he hasn't had my back, even if he's a total pain in the butt sometimes. Like, we're even flatmates, now! Without him, I don't know if I would've found a job in time, or had a house now... Heck, I might even be dead! That's, uh... That's very likely, actually! But, I'm not, so it's, like, fine. Totally chill! Nowadays, when we're off work and not busy dealing with chores or whatever, we're mostly hanging out and watching anime, or playing some fighting games, or something. It's fun, at least!"

My best friend.

I HAVE THIS URGENT FEELING OF WRITING SOMETHING FOR MY OTP (ATSUMINA) BUT LIKE I'M BUSY 😭😭

I just rewatched that old clip where Acchan says that if she's 30 or 40 and she's not in a relationship/haven't fallen in love, then she wants to live with Takamina for the rest of her life. Then she adds the comment, "we should just get married or something" and let's ignore how the interviewer tells Acchan that's not possible....

Like she's already past 30... but Takamina is married... 😭😭😭 so I want a fluff AU where they end up together.

Like, Takamina isn't married. Acchan still went through with a marriage and has a kid, then got a divorce. Let's say they kinda fought for something (not important, maybe), and now, Acchan needs someone to help her with her son.

Takamina is her first choice but she remembers they've been on bad terms... so, she asks around and when no one can help her, not even her parents. Acchan swallows her pride and calls Takamina.

Obviously, Minami says yes. Minami can't say no to Acchan.

The kid knows Minami, but still is shy. Atsuko promises ice cream, a day in the park, and some snacks the next day if he's a good kid. Minami says it's fine, she will find a way to keep him busy.

Atsuko can't quite look at Minami's eyes. She still feels a bit embarrassed.

"Everything will be fine," Minami says softly, holding Atsuko's hand and giving her a light squeeze. "I'll take good care of him. He won't even realize you will be gone for long."

Minami mistakes her embarrassment for worry. And Atsuko wants to smack Minami's head and also kiss her.

The thing is, Atsuko goes. She works and the time pass. When the director of the drama she's shooting yells 'Cut!' Atsuko asks for the hour.

2am. Way past the hour she told Minami.

She doesn't know if she should knock on the door, press the bell, or send Minami a text. She opts for a call.

Minami opens the door of her apartment, a hand rubbing the sleep off her eyes.

"I'm so sorry, the recording went far longer than I anticipated," Atsuko whispers as she walks inside of the dark apartment.

"It's fine," Minami whispers back, her voice hoarse. "I predicted as much and planned accordingly. You should stay. He's deep asleep."

Atsuko stops then, a few steps away from what she knows is Minami's door. She's not surprised that Minami knew how to distract a kid, she always was better with kids, but it surprises her that Ken-chan is sleeping in Minami's room. She guessed Minami would place him on the guest room.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course! I still have some of your clothes in the closet," she opens the door, slowly and with care as to not disturb the kid inside. "Just change and come to bed.

There's a little light coming from the bathroom, the door left slightly open, enough to wash the room with a yellowish light, but not bright enough to wake the people inside.

"He told me you bought him a doraemon light to help him." Minami smiles, sitting at the edge of the bed as Atsuko leaves her bag need the closet and proceeds to search for her clothes. "He wanted to be big and brave though."

Atsuko turns, an old, big T-shirt in hand, her son lays on the left side of the king size bed. He holds his safety blanket tightly, his thumb on his mouth —habit Atsuko has tried to get rid of, unsuccessfully.

"I told him grown ups use the light of the bathroom."

Both share a soft chuckle.

Atsuko changes in the bathroom. Not because she's shy to undress, after so many years, they're not shy when it's only them. But because she really wants to have a warm bath.

By the time she finishes, it's past 3am.

The warmth water relaxed her, all the stress and her worries left her body and her eyes feel heavy.

Minami now lays on the middle of the bed, and Ken-chan moved to snuggle next to her. The light of the bathroom doesn't disturb them but is enough to allow a photo. After taking a few dozen, she puts her phone on silent mode and finally gets on the bed.

Not near and neither far away from the two of the most important people Atsuko treasures.

Even in her sleep, Minami reaches blindly for Atsuko. Pulls her closer, and only when Atsuko's head is on her shoulder, an arm around her middle. Minami sighs and continues sleeping. This time, a light snoring fills the silence.

Normally, Atsuko has trouble sleeping. On this night, however, Atsuko is asleep before her brain can process it.

Random Thought: Why does all "90's Anime style" fanart just look like Sailor Moon?

Okay, obviously not all fanart looks like it. But if you were to type in "90s anime style" here on Tumblr or DeviantArt at the time of this post, it at least seems to be the majority stand-in for 90s anime aesthetic, right? Especially in the characters' eyes.

Don't me wrong, this is not a knock against Sailor Moon. It is a great anime, and the collective character designs by Kazuko Tadano, Ikuko Ito, and Mari Tominaga among other staff are iconic. So iconic that Tadano was brought back as the character designer for the latest Sailor Moon movies. That is quite the staying power.

But let's be fair, there are plenty of 90s anime out there that can also be used as inspiration. So, here are the names of 11 character designers alongside some gifs of shows/projects they worked on in that role. Some you may not know but you've seen their work, and others you probably know for their distinct art style or association with a franchise.

Things worth noting: First, the years listed here with some anime may reflect when the artists' work started airing, rather than when the anime itself actually started. Some folks listed here enter their projects mid-production in other roles, while others are in the role from the start. Second, each entry will list 1 or 2 projects aired/released during the 90s, but it will be noted if the artist's role continues beyond that with certain franchises. Lastly, these artists are listed in no particular order, so no "top 11" hierarchy. With that said, here's our examples:

Hisashi Eguchi (Roujin Z[1991], Sonic the Hedgehog CD [1993])

2. Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru(Dragon Ball franchise (Z [1993-96], GT [1996], Daima [2024]), Digimon franchise [1999-2002, 2019-2023])

3. Kumiko Takahashi (Cardcaptor Sakura [1998-2000], Birdy The Mighty[1996])

4. Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Trigun[1998], Slayers franchise[1995-97])

5. Atsuko Nakajima (Ranma 1/2[1989-1992], You're Under Arrest[1996])

6. Sayuri Ichiishi (Pokémon[Pokémon design: 1996-present, human character design: 1996-2017])

7. Atsuko Ishida (Magic Knight Rayearth[1994-1995])

8. Masaya Onishi (Yu Yu Hakusho[1993-1994])

9. Toshihiro Kawamoto(Cowboy Bebop[1998-1999], Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team[1996])

10. Hiroshi Osaka(Gundam franchise[Mobile Suit Victory Gundam: 1993-1994, Mobile Fighter G-Gundam:1994-1995])

11. Yoshiyuki Sadamoto(Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water[1990-1991], Neon Genesis Evangelion franchise[1995-1997, 2007-2021])

Might've leaned a bit more on the Shonen side of things than Shojo, but I hope you can see my point😅. There are tons of 90s anime out there with their own unique feel and aesthetic. These are only 11 names that I found.

For anyone drawing 90s anime style fanart, I hope this has given you some inspiration, and I encourage anyone reading this to look up your favourite anime on Anime News Network's encyclopedia and see who's responsible for helping bring your favorite characters to life on screen and what other shows they've worked on.

[everythingranma]

I've been watching Maison Ikkoku recently and just want to take a moment to share with you this clip from episode 14. Ranma 1/2 fans might like it because it's another work by Rumiko Takahashi and was also produced by Kitty Films. Atsuko Nakajima (Ranma 1/2 character designer and animation director) also worked on it.

It's also the anime where Megumi Hayashibara (female Ranma) had her first ever voice acting role. She voiced a few minor characters. The voice actor for Yotsuya (Shigeru Chiba) also voiced Sasuke Sarugakure and Megane (Urusei Yatsura).

"Dentist"

[from left to right: Haruomi Hosono, Yukihiro Takahashi, Ryuichi Sakamoto]

8-Beat Gag manga, Atsuko Shima (1983)

[fruiteggsaladit]

[ID: manga panels from Maison Ikkoku, ch4 page 16: Hanae and Akemi are teasing Kyoko, the female lead, for denying having a crush on the male lead. Reading left to right: "Thinking of a tenant as a 'guy'!" "And the way she defended him! My, my!" "What are you two talking about?!" "My dear, we must have a drink." "I only have tea!!" Akemi is whistling. /END ID.]

Reading Maizon Ikkoku bc it's 80s manga romcom listed as one of the most best-selling, meaning Togashi may have read it for research when he wrote his romcom mangas and influenced yyh, in other words i'm reading it to understand a little more what he was grasping at when it came to the yusuke-keiko romance! Also for ideas.

Sharing the above panels bc Akemi (the curly haired woman in stripes) was wearing something I could imagine Atsuko wearing, and standing beside Hanae especially, it was easy to imagine Atsuko and Keiko's mum! I like imagining them being friends or at least, Yukimura Mama being concerned for Atsuko.

Oh, that and also-

Kuwabara??!?!?!

[ID Maison Ikkoku ch 4, page 10 panel excerpt, of Sakamoto and unnamed friend drinking and talking at a cafe, and anime screenshots of Sakamoto alone (episode 40, "Mezon Ikkoku Kanketsuhen") (fandom.com) /END ID.]
