id say that some stuff off babymetal's first album could be metalcore (more metalcore than fucking bad omens and shit anyway), but everything 2nd album and after is like.. modern glam metal or like, alt metal lol

I honestly disagree entirely, I feel like trying to nail down a specific singular metal subgenre for Babymetal is pretty pointless since their focus is rly on blending metal and idol jpop (commonly attributed as "Kawaii Metal"- regardless of whether or not you love that label it appears to be the one most commonly used in reference to the band and similar acts), and they end up taking inspiration from a lot of metal subgenres, like heavy, power, thrash, symphonic, and yes even metalcore (most notably due to the breakdowns in songs like Line! and GJ!, and their collab with BMTH).

Not sure what's up with your Bad Omens comment, I'm not a fan of them but from the few songs I've heard I consider them much more metalcore than babymetal lmao, they really seem to be in the same sphere as other metalcore acts like MIW and Architects as well

Also, I really don't get the glam / alt metal thing? Those are 2 VERY different genres, and while I see the alt metal influence in songs like (again lol) Line! and their collab with Tom Morello from a year back, I really don't get the glam metal angle... I'm assuming you're going off the definition that glam metal is heavy metal with much more of a pop influence (not a bad assumption given that Babymetal is metal + idol jpop), but glam metal is bands like Motley Crue, Scorpions, Poison, etc. which pull a lot more from 70s glam rock. Modern glam metal is bands like Steel Panther and Love Stallion- basically no resemblance to Babymetal imo.

Another J-metal girl band which I think 100% IS metalcore is HANABIE. (and very possibly nerdcore as well (see OTAKU Lovely Densetsu) - actually relating this to the post I left that tag on LOL). Anyways this reply is way too long have a good Monday my friend

WVBA Fighter Profile: Star Mika

Star Mika is an original character of @cyrah-is-cool101 and appears in this story with permission. I've made some changes to the character to better suit my story, but with the approval of her creator.

Ring Name: Star Mika

Nickname: The Heroine of Mabuhay Justice

Ranking: Minor Circuit Unranked

Record: 6-1-0 (4 KO) (44-0-0 with 26 KO as amateur)

Hometown: Iloilo City, Philippines

Real Name: Mikaela Tiongson

Age: 17

Height / Weight: 5’9” / 183 lbs

Hair / Eyes: Black / Blue (both often change for cosplays)

Attire: white sports bra with teal trim; teal trunks with white trim; pink gloves with black palms and cuffs

Theme: “Moonlight Densetsu” (Instrumental) by DALI

Biography:

The daughter of a Filipina female gymnast and African-American businessman, Mikaela’s path to the WVBA came by following a longtime friend. Born in the Philippines, her family moved to Brooklyn, New York when she was in sixth grade. It was there she would meet eighth grader Paulie MacKenzie, a young man now known to the world as the WVBA World Circuit Champion Little Mac.

Initially following in her mother’s footsteps as a gymnast, a sport at which Mikaela excels, Mikaela hit upon the school’s boxing club by chance one day and met Mac. WIth a lack of support for gymnastics at the school and encouraged by Mac, she would sign up for the boxing club. She would pick things up quickly and forge a fast friendship with Mac. Mac even gifted her a pair of high school competition gloves, teal gloves that she still has, when she became a freshman.

She would fight as an amateur through school, amassing an impressive record, before turning pro last year, inspired by Little Mac’s success in the WVBA. When the WVBA announced a Women’s Circuit would soon be starting, Mikaela knew what she must do.

Outside the ring, Mikaela is totally unassuming. A diehard otaku, especially magical girl anime, with a love of Filipino cuisine, Mikaela is a kind-hearted young woman who is friendly almost to a fault. She has a strong sense of right and wrong, and that has followed her into the WVBA. Adopting the ring name Star Mika, the self-appointed magical girl of the boxing ring, she despises foul play in the sport and goes out of her way to face those fighters. As one of her heroes might say, “WIth the power of the stars, I will punch you!”

Boxing Style: “The Starlit Striker”

A star gymnast and a talented boxer, Star Mika is as nimble and agile as any of her magical girl heroes. She aims to dazzle and overwhelm her opponents, taking the fight to them while actively defending and countering when she can. While she’s not the strongest fighter out there, her punches are solid and the number of blows her opponents will likely suffer will definitely add up.

Like many of her anime inspirations, Mika does have her ace-in-the-hole, her ultimate technique, the “Maiden’s Meteor”. It is, however, a feast or famine technique. A powerful uppercut-left hook combination, “Maiden’s Meteor” can knock down any foe, but it can be stopped, though the window is short. The uppercut can be avoided, but if it lands, her opponent’s ability to defend the left hook that follows is slim and the chance of avoiding it is nil. However, if Mika misses both blows, she’s wide open and vulnerable.

Star Mika uses her own athletic skills and the inspiration from her magical girl heroes to be an incredible force in the ring. She combines the grace and agility of a gymnast, the striking of a practiced boxer, and the flamboyant and fun flair of a magical girl. This leads to a dazzling fighter that is hard to hit, swarms all over you, and looks for that one mistake where she can stun you and land a flashy flurry that leaves you out cold. And if you bend or, worse yet, break the rules and tarnish the integrity of the sport, well… simply put, if you face Star Mika, best to be on the right side of justice.

Power Punch: "Maiden's Meteor"

A hard right uppercut that lifts her opponent just barely off their feet, then a left hook to the cheek while they are airborne.

MANGA REC LIST

I’ve been meaning to update this for a while, and I finally got around to it!

if you’re looking for some new manga to read, here’s my rec list below:

----

These are all varying levels of good- some are AMAZING and some are just a fun read.

For the most part I tried not to include REALLY popular series (like yeah: One Punch Man and Detective Conan and One Piece and whatever are good! but also you’ve probably already read them!)

Also, the categories are just for the sake of organization- take them with a grain of salt. Most of the series are comedy, even those not in the comedy section.

Bonus: here’s a post with more detailed descriptions for 10 of these series, including an example page from each.

and you can also check my manga recs tag I guess

All Kaji Yuki’s roles in this anime season

As one of the best anime voice actors (and my favorite voice actor ever!), it’s understandable that he is voicing multiple characters at the same time. Here are all of his roles for spring 2018 (current ongoing anime season). How many of these did you know?

Soulburner / Takeru Homura - Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS 

Ayato Kirishima (Touka’s brother) - Tokyo Ghoul:re

Terunori Kuga - Shokugeki no Soma (season 3)

Issei Hyoudou - High School DXD Hero

Shouto Todoroki - Boku no Hero Academia (season 3)

Kozoumaru Sasuke - Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin

Julian Mintz - Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu: Die Neue These

Haruto Okonogi -  Hisone to Maso-tan

Hayato Ozaki -  Nil Admirari no Tenbin

Naoya Nifuji -  Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku

Adam Bindewald -  Godzilla: Planet of the Monsters

Any roles that I missed? With so many main roles no wonder the guy is one of the most paid anime voice actors if he voices so many main/important characters in a single anime season. (Like seriously he voices the characters in more than a half of anime that I’m currently watching).
