#is rin a jotaro fan or is jotaro a rin fan ?

[jenoutof10]

Thanks for answering my ask before. If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, who are your top 10 favorite characters (can be from books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......

HAHHA don't worry these asks are fun and i enjoy them so don't apologize for giving me a good time. i do apologise for taking such a long time w these asks, im actually horrible at articulating my thoughts (which is why i am not a writer HA) i think i might be forgetting some characters, or maybe i just dont have alot of faves

1. itoshi rin (blue lock)

i feel like he sticks out like a sore thumb here but he's very much no. 1... something about him being an antisocial introverted hater with abandonment issues, but also has skills to back up his arrogance and (besides all the hate he lets fester within him) actually has a pretty healthy lifestyle.

2. itadori yuuji (jujutsu kaisen)

everything about yuuji is so inherently GOOD and it both interests + pains me to see him being put through all these trials and tribulations of a dark shonen mc 😭

3. gojo satoru (jujutsu kaisen)

i think, like rin, what makes him so interesting is that he has this arrogant and disrespectful personality but then again he's literally the strongest so you cant do jack shit about it. but on the other hand he's this playful goofy (incapable) teacher who spoils his students. i also love OP (to the point it dont make sense) characters.

4. dazai osamu (bungo stray dogs)

i find his inability to be truly happy in any universe fascinating.

5. tachihara michizo (bungo stray dogs)

if i explained it would be major spoilers for s4 and s5 of bsd so i'll just say that his contribution to the plot in the recent seasons really did it for me. the jump from s1 to s4 was a KICK.

6. mikage reo (blue lock)

he's a sopping wet sock. i think this is what people call a gap moe... this perfect, highly capable and charming individual turns into the most pathetic instance of man when his best friend leaves him.

7. giorno giovanna (jojo's bizarre adventure: golden wind)

his birth origins are alr wild. his stand is wild. his battle strategies are wild. his ending is wild. he (alongside jotaro) is probably the least expressive but his personality is so unique lol. a lil rascal.

8. kita shinsuke (haikyuu!!)

its been a while since anyone has mentioned haikyuu for me but kita remains as one of my fav characters LOL i think he's just very refreshing since the cast is full of hungry teenage monsters eager to win and he's almost like a breeze of calm HAHA. the inarizaki team is also very dear to me bcs theyre packed w such cool and strong characters that interact dynamically lol

9. tsukumo yuki (jujutsu kaisen)

honestly, she was the most interesting female character in jujutsu kaisen (for me) until gege decided to trash her. her appearances from todo's flashbacks to her in shibuya were all so badass, plus shes a good example of a character type i really like that radiates strong-confident-fighter aura but isnt really the brooding/dark type... but fun! ykyk. (oot but i REALLY wanted yuki at #9 bcs of her name LOL, realistically she wouldve been at #7)

10. raiden ei (genshin impact) + raiden shogun

again, another insanely OP character that it doesn't even make sense. her lore is crazy. the second raiden quest was what got me hooked (best story quest ever lol), i honestly can't pinpoint what it is from that quest since its been a while but it changed my whole perspective on her and i've been a raiden fan since. a combination of design, personality, lore, and strength (and additionally the raiden ensemble)

honorable mentions:

kaedehara kazuha, zhongli (genshin)

higashikata josuke (jojo's bizarre adventure: diamond is unbreakable)

lelouch lamperouge (code geass)

oda sakunosuke (bungou stray dogs)

The Most Memorable Anime Dance Sequences of All Time!

Anime is an amazing medium because of the way things flow and look on screen, like when action sequences suck us in with amazing animation and quieter scenes can stun with captivating visuals. Perhaps one of the least appreciated parts of anime, though, are the amazing dance sequences that can pop up in our favorite shows and even in their opening and endings. Dance can really be an amazing medium on its own, and with the right animation and music, anime dances can seem almost magical! But which ones are the best? I’ve gathered what I think are the 10 best overall anime dance sequences, and I’m ranking them based on their style, choreography, and their overall ability to stick in our minds. If you’re looking for a new dance to try out with your friends at a cosplay gathering for this year’s con circuit, or maybe you just appreciate a good dance as much as I do, hit the dance floor and get ready to show off some sick moves!

10) Kill Me Baby Ending Dance Sequence

    Coming in at number 10, I’ve got the dance from the Kill Me Baby ending theme “The True Secret of Our Feelings.” This unique duet encapsulates the odd mood and style of the series, with a unique blend of comedy that is wholly its own. While it is a unique and quirky dance, that’s the reason I found it so memorable! Seeing this dance at the end of every episode was a great way to cap off any episode, as well as a great little bit of music and dancing that captured what Kill Me Baby was all about: weird, cute comedy! One of the things I really appreciated about this dance was the way that the moves keep specific timing with the beat, which really showed a level of though similar to the sometimes subtle punchlines of the show.

9) Sgt. Frog Ending Dance Sequence

    Fittingly at number 9 spot is the 9th ending song of Sgt. Frog, “Spinning, Turning, Once Around!” When this song hit during the anime’s broadcast, it became a huge sensation online, spawning lots of people doing their own group renditions of the dance. At first it might seem like the song is more memorable and catchy than the dance, which is why it’s a bit lower on our list than others, but the dance itself is quite fun and actually very subtle! Much of it is focused on specific, timed movements between a group, and keeping up that manic pace as the song’s tempo increases is part of the fun. The parody videos people have made are almost as entertaining as the original (especially to see how people interpreted Tamama’s entrance into the ending!), so for that reason alone I knew I had to put it on this list.

8) Free - Iwatobi Swim Club-'s Ending Sequence

  Free! -Iwatobi Swim Club- certainly made a huge splash (sorry, not sorry) when it hit the scene a few years ago, and people were instantly sucked into the sports and non-sport drama of the swim club boys. But perhaps one of the most memorable parts of the series was it's absolutely off the wall ending sequence, featuring cast members alternating between dancing in a night club and an Arabian themed hunt for an oasis! While some might argue that certain viewers were more interested in the amount of abs on display in the ending, I’ll say that while that was great, the oddball dance sequence and fun visuals of the ending are what really caught our attention. Free! itself seems to have owned up to the silliness of the first ending, as the recent movie had the guys creating a themed recruitment video in something of a fun callback to the original season’s ending visuals. The night club scene was so popular, it even inspired some neat merchandise for fans to buy! And while fans will probably argue over who the best Free! boy is, I have to say that Haru’s hair flipping to the beat in this ending is pretty show stealing!

7) Carnival Phantasm's Opening Dance Sequence

  The TYPE-MOON series Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime have spawned countless fans between all of the various versions of anime spin offs from the original games, but none perhaps captured the madcap silliness the fandom had invented better than the Carnival Phantasm series. A selection of comical shorts featuring characters from both the Fate and Tsukihime series, the show kicked off each episode with a high energy and catchy theme song that was accompanied by the main characters of each series dancing along in time. Seeing Saber, Rin, Arcueid and many others dancing cutely was enough to get this on our list, but the huge group dance scenes in between those really helped cement this one in place. Carnival Phantasm was filled with callbacks to events in both series, their anime, and even long-time in jokes, and the opening copied that as well, with odd little easter eggs for careful viewers to spot. Although Carnival Phantasm never got an official release outside of Japan, the opening song was popular enough to inspire some fan reactions. If you take a look at it, let us know if you can spot the Assassin cut-out…!

6) JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable Opening Dance Sequence

  As much as I would like to put this next entry on the list with “Koichi pose” and leave it at that, there’s definitely more to be said about this one. Our number 6 spot goes to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable’s first opening song, “Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town,” featuring cast members dancing along to the song as they introduce themselves. Diamond is Unbreakable really exuded a specific bouncy charm and vibrancy to it that made it different from previous JoJo seasons, and this opening song really helped to sell that mood. Starting off with Josuke, Koichi, Jotaro and Okuyasu on a stage like a boy band, the song kept up that high energy throughout, making it a catchy tune with somewhat even more memorable dance moves. Although it isn’t as thoroughly choreographed as some of our other entries, it would be hard to really forget certain scenes here, and the way it fits the series is a huge plus to us.

5) Blood Blockade Battlefront Ending Dance Sequence

  Blood Blockade Battlefront was a series that dripped style from the way it was animated to the character designs, and the ending theme, “Sugar Song and Bitter Step,” had an amazing segue of dancing scenes that really helped cement that in our minds. Much like Sgt. Frog, the ending of Blood Blockade Battlefront spawned lots of homage videos from fan artists and cosplayers recreating the dance steps with their own unique takes on it. Perhaps one of the most memorable bits of the whole sequence, though, is the way in which it helped sell character interactions and relationships even in the ending song; watching the various ways Zapp interacted with people, for example, or the little cues to season one’s major plot points in various parts was a hidden treat that rewarded keen viewers attention. The song itself matches the jazzy dance steps and costuming as well, making it an overall catchy and fun sequence to watch over and over again!

4) Uta no Prince Sama Ending Dance Sequence

Considering that it’s a series about handsome idols doing amazing song and dance routines, it probably doesn’t surprise you to see Uta no Prince Sama’s “Maji Love 2000%” make it onto our list at number 4. The dance is so fluid and stylish that you could easily see a real idol group easily perform something similar, and the accompanying fan screams during specific moments really made the whole scene amazing. Plus, as the pay off to a tense and dramatic season finale, the whole dance really felt like an amazing reward for viewers to see. I’ll be honest with you all: there are a few scenes in this dance that I enjoy quite a lot, and it probably isn’t hard to figure out why! If you like your idols handsome and with good rhythm, you should consider checking out Uta no Prince Sama!

3) Vegeta's Bingo Dance from Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods

  This next dance caught us so off guard when I first saw it that I think you’ll agree it deserves a high place on our list: Vegeta’s bingo dance! First seen in the Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods movie and then again in the Dragon Ball Super anime adaptation of it, Vegeta’s desperate attempt to distract Beerus from destroying Earth was perhaps never so apparent as it was in this madcap dance sequence. Vegeta’s improvisational song and dance are pretty amazing on their own, but perhaps the most memorable thing about them is what it meant for the Dragon Ball series as a whole: a marked shift in Vegeta’s character and personality. Super really focused heavily on Vegeta’s growth early on, letting us see his change from the cold hearted and distant “Prince of all Saiyans” of Dragon Ball Z into a man who, while still surly, really cares for his family and other people enough to throw away his pride and put on a ridiculous dance to save the day. I love Dragon Ball Super and I love Vegeta, and this dance really just put a big bow on why!

2) Torture Dance from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind

  A relative newcomer compared to the rest of the list, our number 2 spot goes to that torture dance scene from JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind! One of the best things an anime adaptation can do is take things that it’s source material did, and give it a unique spin that only an animated series can do, and David Production really knocked it out of the park with this! Changing a single page set of panels into a minute long visual trip was amazing! It also gave us a little fun insight into the relationships of the Bucciarati gang; we see goofball Narancia start off, only to have the slightly more serious Mista join in, followed by the extremely high strung Fugo working together in perfect harmony as their torture target suffers in the background. The original song, “Canonzi Preferite,” created to go along with the dance is another great touch, as are the trippy visuals between dance steps. It’s a real treat to watch this dance scene over and over again, and it’s something that really helped me find my love for Part 5 immediately!

1) The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya Ending Dance Sequence

If you’ve read this far and asked “Where is it?” you’ve probably already predicted what's in the #1 spot: the famous “Hare Hare Yukai” dance from The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya! It may be hard to imagine that it’s been over 13 years (ohmygod, it’s been THAT LONG?) since this song first hit the anime world like a tidal wave, and it’s dance soon became a convention staple for groups of cosplayers! It’s hard to deny the memories of seeing fan renditions of the dance pop up on the early days of social media, and the enduring popularity of the dance sequence really says all there is to say about why it’s my number one pick. Even if we discounted the history now attached to the dance, it’s hard to argue that there’s a stronger contender on our list; the song is matched perfectly by the movements of the cast, and it gives off an air of natural movement that’s hard to match! Many other dances on our list are broken up by other strings of animation stills or cut aways, Hare Hare Yukai got an entire minute of pure dancing down the line, with impressive choreography considerations for its age. It’s pretty hard to deny: Haruhi is still on top when it comes to dancing!

And there you have it! I hope you enjoyed this collection of amazing anime dance sequences, and if you feel so inclined, maybe you can dance along yourself at home or at your next convention outing. Just remember to limber up, practice, and dance like the blinds are closed; after all, dancing is about having fun, so hit the floor and get to it!

Loving your insights on the nature of True Magic! Which reminds me, I also find it interesting how: 1) The seemingly most mundane places in the Nasuverse, like a humble Café that seems to have multiple chains everywhere, seem to be the most magical places of all, and 2) how the fans have conflated Zelretch with being a troll or some kind of Trickster Mentor (like Joseph Joestar with Jotaro's gruff demeanor) who drives most magi apprentices unable to continue their craft.

1.) Not surprising since the Ahnenerbe cafes are all run by the Neco-Arcs who have the reality bending nature of being gag characters, but it’s really cool how they’re mostly used to initiate crossovers like Carnival Phantasm and All Around Type moon. Those are some of my favorite Nasuverse entries.

2.) They’re not wrong! Zelretch IS a troll and a trickster mentor. He gave the Tohsakas the Jewel Sword blueprints because they were incompetent country bumpkins and thus couldn’t possibly use it for evil unlike the Makiri and Einzbern. He freely goes in and out of the Clocktower on whims despite technically being a very high ranking professor, meaning if you happen to be studying under him you’re not gonna have a teacher for half the semester. He’s also a member of the Twenty Seven Dead Apostle Ancestors, a vampire coven whose goals are to bring about the vampire apocalypse, despite literally being the guy who killed their leader and brought them all to ruin, just for shits and giggles. 

It’s just that he’s also one of the biggest badasses ever and the only reason humanity is still alive. He was the second magi ever to reach the root and used the forbidden knowledge to take out an apocalyptic monster like Crimson Moon in single combat. He shoved the whole moon backwards with a single punch so that vampire kind may not overpower humanity. He saw Arcueid Brunestud, Crimson Moon’s second daughter, perfect clone, by all means the second bringer of humanity’s demise, and was kind. He looked at Crimson Moon’s legacy and saw a child instead of a vampire. He told her that her one day she will find an opportunity to find happiness and that life is fun just by being awake to enjoy it. 

He also lost much of his incredible power as soon as he defeated Crimson Moon. And it doesn’t matter to him. It’s such a good example of power being something you do not keep, but something you use and pass on after it has served its purpose (to hold on to it is to grow corrupted). Once he was nearly godlike in strength, now he enjoys his time screwing over the nerds at the Clocktower, waltzing into their courts and saving the likes of Rin Tohsaka from execution just to mess with those squares.

hair????? is a thing

You know what’s weird? Hair in anime. No, not the way it looks.

I’m talking about color. A lot of people have noticed that anime - especially in the shounen genre - likes to have a light-haired protagonist and a dark-haired rival (e.g., Naruto and Sasuke, Ichigo and Ishida, Shizuo and Izaya, Haru and Musica, Natsu and Gray, etc. - even Goku and Vegeta, towards the end of the Frieza arc). Some shows subvert this, of course (Boku no Hero Academia has Midoriya and Bakugou, Yu-Gi-Oh! has Kaiba and Yuugi, Vision of Escaflowne has Van and Allen, while JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has this three times with Jonathan and Dio in part one, Joseph and Caesar in part two, and Jotaro and DIO in part three).

Even Pokémon’s dark-haired Ash Ketchum usually has rivals with lighter hair - Gary, Paul, Barry, Trip, Ritchie, Morrison, Tyson, Tobias, Stephan, Virgil, Bianca, Cameron, Tierno, Alain, and Sawyer all have lighter hair than Ash does.

It’s not limited to shounen either - Gantz has light-brown-haired Kurono and dark-haired Kato, Berserk has dark-haired Guts and light-haired Griffith, Puella Magi Madoka Magica has Sayaka and Kyouko, Free! has Haruka and Rin, Yuri!!! on ICE has Yuuri and Yurio, Baccano! (which I refuse to call a shounen honestly) has Claire and Ladd, and so on and so forth.

It’s pretty normal, really - it even happens outside of anime, with Harry and Draco, Mabel and Pacifica, blah blah blah.

But here’s where things get weird. Let’s bring in the girls, shall we? When there’s the light-haired-dark-haired rivals thing going on, there’s generally at least two major female love interests characters. Naruto has Sakura and Hinata, Bleach has Rukia and Orihime, DBZ has Chichi and Bulma, Fairy Tail has Lucy and Lisanna, etc.

All of these girls also have a light-dark hair thing.

And there’s a pattern - usually, the light-haired protagonist gets the dark-haired girl (Naruto and Hinata, Goku and Chichi, Haru and Elie, Natsu and Lucy, Kurono and Sakuraoka) and the dark-haired protagonist gets the light-haired girl (Midoriya and Uraraka, Van and Hitomi, Joseph and Suzie, Yuuri and Victor). Sometimes, the rival ends with the other girl (Sasuke and Sakura, Vegeta and Bulma, etc.)

It’s a really odd pattern. Even Bleach, who subverted the dark-haired guy/light-haired girl thing with Ichigo and Orihime, still had the dark-haired Rukia end up with Renji, the lighter-haired of Ichigo’s two main rivals.

It even happens outside of main characters. In Naruto, Ino and Temari are both blondes who end up with boys with black hair. Bleach’s dark-haired Isshin and light-haired Ryuuken ended up with light-haired Masaki and dark-haired Kanae, respectively.

Fandoms seem to have adopted this policy. In One Piece, despite the author’s statement that dark-haired Luffy isn’t interested in romance, fans are more likely to ship him with the light-haired Nami (in my experience, at least). Yuri!!! on ICE’s Yurio doesn’t have a canon love interest, but his most popular ship is with the dark-haired Otabek. Free!’s fandom does this as well - people are more likely to ship Haruka with Makoto or Rin than with Rei or Sousuke (although those ships definitely exist). Pokémon’s dark-haired Ash is more frequently shipped with Misty or Serena (the latter of whom even got a smooch in) than with May or Dawn (who is frequently shipped with the light-haired Paul). Attack on Titan’s Reiner is shipped with dark-haired Bertolt, while dark-haired Ymir is shipped with light-haired Krista. Despite the canon ending of Bleach, the fandom has always preferred shipping dark-haired Rukia with light-haired Ichigo, and the light-haired Orihime is usually paired with Ishida or Ulquiorra (both of whom have dark hair).

And again, it’s not just anime. RWBY’s big ships are Ruby and Weiss, Blake and Yang, and Blake and Sun. Kim Possible’s canon ship with Kim and Ron has far fewer fans than Kim and Shego. Total Drama Island’s fanbase got sick of Duncan and started shipping light-haired Courtney and dark-haired Gwen.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FINDS THE HAIR COLOR THING TO BE KINDA SORTA WEIRD????? probably lol
