If “Gakuen Heaven” got a dub

It’s been 16 years since the Gakuen Heaven anime made its debut and I thought about what a dub cast list may look like. Reminder, these are just headcanons!

-Keita Ito: Eli Brennan -Kazuki Endo: P.M. Seymour -Kaoru Saionji: Kai Jordan -Tetsuya Niwa: Sean Chiplock -Omi Shichijo: Darrel Delfin -Hideaki Nakajima: Nicholas Andrew Louie -Yukihiro Naruse: Bryson Baugus -Koji Shinomiya: Bradley Gareth -Takuto Iwai: Cole Feutcher -Shunsuke Taki: Ciarán Strange -Satoshi Umino: Michaela Laws or Ciarán Strange -Kakeru Ozawa: Jacob Eiseman -Wataru Ozawa: Reece Bridger -Jin Matsuoka: Terrance Drye

Yeah, these are pretty much people from Ascendent Animation, a new company starting out. Not sure if they’d get permission from the company that made the anime, but it’s worth a shot if they try, although I doubt they will. I mean, Gakuen Heaven is so little known in the BL world...

Research update: February 2023

On the 9th of January, I was honoured to talk about my research in front of an international audience, discussing Sylvia Plath and the Psychoanalysis of Fairy Tales. Many thanks to the organisers Fuhito Endo and Kazuki Inoue and The University of Tokyo for hosting me. At the moment, I have three conference presentations in line for 2023: I’m forming an incredible panel with my friends Kitty Shaw…

Further thoughts and comments on some things below the cut

I never thought I'd clear through this much in under a year? Especially considering the last couple months I've been a little lax in reading. Typically I read at work on break and before my shift starts if I'm early, but I've been hit or miss for that so it wound up taking nearly a month for me to finish Good Omens.

Some of the series above are definitely in the reread category, but there's others that left me a little disappointed. Like I had heard so much positive talk about Klune's works, but I was left kinda disappointed with Under the Whispering Door, however maybe it was the subject matter, because I did also enjoy The House on the Cerulean Sea from him. And others like some of the classics I've read through, Idk maybe I'm spoiled, but I like having frequent paragraph breaks? And at least with Orwell in particular, he seems to really enjoy going nearly a whole page without one break. Which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't nearly ever 5 or so pages.

Definitely going to be rereading The Locked Tomb series entirely once Alecto the Ninth is out, I love the batshit wild ride that series puts you on.

Anyone who is curious may have noticed that I started with volume 16 for Re:Zero—that series is long okay? I opted to start with the beginning of arc five, since the anime ends with the conclusion of arc four. I do however plan to go back and read the other arcs, however I'm not in a major rush to finish them off since I doubt season 3 is coming any time soon.

I've also discovered that I enjoy some movie/television adaptions of books, now that I've read multiple while having watched the movie back to back. Maybe it has to do with a more mature understanding of good and bad in everything. However that still isn't going to make me rewatch The Last Airbender anytime soon lol

It's also super true: anime is just a commercial for the manga. Seriously, nearly every new series I picked up and really enjoyed I picked up the manga. The quickest was Spy x Family, next Chainsaw Man but holy, I only have two manga series I've been reading that don't have an anime adaption (although Witch Hat Atelier has an anime announcement from last year, so probably only another couple until that happens.) Although I would love to see J.C. Staff animate a Dungeon Meshi anime.

I think going into 2023 I'm going to look for more non-fiction books to check out as that seems to be an area I'm greatly lacking in.
