Find it kind of amusing that Kyoukai Senki, a show very clearly aimed at Gundam fans, is so nationalistic and dedicated to glorification of tradition that some jokingly called it "ghost written by Shinzo Abe", while Gyakuten Sekai no Denchi Shoujo, clearly aimed at weebs, is extremely anti-imperialist and critical of attachment to tradition.

I don't exactly know what does that say about fandom and changes in demographic, but I do find it fascinating.

"Denchi Sentai! Gigaman!"

Made a minor change to the line-up, made Henry's main color navy blue instead of gray. Might go back to gray, don't know, but I think it looks okay.

Maybe someday, Gigaman will be more than just a dream.

lol, probably not, lol, but it's fun to think about.

Many years later in a gilded cage of peace, old enemies reignite the bad blood between them and begin conflict anew. The world once again enters an era of bloodshed as the wheels of fate begin to turn.

the wonderfully crafted names of chainsaw man

!! spoilers for chainsaw man !!

chainsaw man has a variety of characters with odd names so, while i was studying a bit of kanji, i got curious about how fujimoto named them. so, this is a list of possible explanations behind the names of some major characters. starting with:

1. makima 

according to this article, fujimoto stated that makima was a play on words:

 “ By the way, isn't a chainsaw originally a tool to cut wood? If you cut the 'ki’ out of 'Makima' you get 'mama.' Denji has always been pursuing maternal things." 

another thing about makima’s name is it’s similarity to “makita”, a company that sells chainsaws. 

2. pochita 

most of the chainsaw man’s names are all in katakana, so it’s harder to pinpoint what the actual meaning is. pochita is no different, but, in this post, there’s a comment that points out that ‘pochi’ is a pretty common name for dogs in japan. the ‘ta’ is just added as a reference to the makita brand too. 

3. denji (+power, angel, dominion, seraphim, beam, gaugari, prinz and verche)

denji’s name is interesting. in this article, it says that denji’s name is based on ‘tenshi,’ which is the japanese word for ‘angel’. since, angel fights demons or devils, fujimoto thought it was a great name for his protagonist. aside from that, it’s also based on ‘denchi,’ which means ‘battery’. since fujimoto thought that when denji transforms into a chainsaw is battery-ish, he mixed ‘tenshi’ and ‘denchi’ together, creating ‘denji.’ 

it’s also speculated that ‘kudo denji’-- a character from the manga, abara, might be an inspiration too. 

but the most amazing thing is that it denji’s name perfectly fits the narrative and the biblical references sprinkled in. in this post, it reveals that power, angel, dominion, seraphim, beam, gaugari, prinz and verche’s names were from the nine orders of angels in medieval angelology. (how fucking cool is that?!) but if you look at it, there are only eight mentioned that are clear. the unnamed is “archangels.” since denji is in the frame, the archangel might be denji himself, considering his name origin. 

4. kobeni 

kobeni’s name when split into parts has ‘small’ from ‘ko’ and ‘red’ from ‘beni.’ i think it’s very fitting for her since she’s... well, tiny. 

5. aki 

aki’s name is also spelled in katakana, and according to this article, fujimoto revealed that aki’s name was derived from the ak47 gun. (what the actual fuck.) he only modified the name to make it sound like ‘aki.’

however, aki, in usual japanese, means autumn, bright or ancestor. it’s a feminine name of japanese origin. another source says it means ‘love’ and ‘clear’. while this only applies to names with kanji, aki’s name does fit with ‘autumn’ and ‘love.’ 

6. asa and yoru

asa means ‘morning’ in japanese. yoru means ‘evening’ in japanese. since they are, frankly, the opposite of each other, this is pretty clever. also, the japanese were known for being proficient in night warfare, so the war devil being named after ‘evening’ or ‘night’ makes sense.

feel free to add more characters! these are the only characters where i can get definite answers from the internet.

Back when the cast photos were released, I commented that I thought the costume department dressed up Nobukatsu in an outfit that is meant to be reminiscent of the classic Nobunaga painting in green, white, and red outfit.

I hadn't been entirely sure, then, because the lighting made the green "vest" look a little yellowish, but in the actual scenes it's more clearly visible that it's green.

I also mentioned that I think he looks very much like Sometani's Nobunaga from the Kirin ga Kuru drama.

Dousuru's Nobukatsu was wearing is some sort sleeveless attire that is tied in the middle, as opposed to a the standard kataginu depicted in the Nobunaga painting. In Kirin, Nobunaga most often wears a doubuku (Sengoku era haori), which has that exact same cloth ties, so I was wondering if it was done with the intention of emphasising the resemblance.

However, Ieyasu also wears this exact same stringed "vest" in Dousuru, so perhaps I was actually wrong.

On the subject of attire, though.

That "vest" with the strings to tie it close, which is called chanchan or denchi, is actually not only quite anachronistic (dates to at least the late 1600s or 1700s Edo period), but very pedestrian. It's worn by street hawkers and peddlers, and it was said to have been "invented" because the sleeves of normal haori or doubuku would just get in the way of them working.

It's highly popularised as the costume of "Mitokoumon", when he's out in "commoner disguise", and also a classic special birthday gifts for senior citizens (for "special numbered" ages like 60, 70, 80, etc).

Taiga drama isn't necessarily the most historically accurate when it comes to costumes, but I am kind of curious if there's a special reason behind this or if it's just "it looks nice". NHK's website every now and then posts the concept art for the costumes and sometimes they would go into details for the reasoning behind specific designs.

got damp hachune denchi fucking deaded

[virovac]

The Mob Psycho Chainsawman Roleswap au idea feels like it should climax with Mob trained under Makima vs Denchi trained under Reigen.

And I kinda want to figure out how Denchi-would emotion-fu Mob with what he learned from Reigen
