--so anyways want me to talk about the best battle theme ever:

So, Tokyo Mono Hara Shi. As seen from these screenshots, it's a Visual Novel/DRPG hybrid for the PSP and from the same team as Kowloon High-school Chronicle.

I've mentioned Kowloon before (it's a cool game and you should play it). So, I figured I'd look for more info about it and the rest of the Tokyo Majin Gakuen franchise - given there is very little info about it in English.

Instead, I found out about Kowloon's "successor" on the PSP. As you might have figured it out, the setting is based mostly on traditional Japan, replacing Kowloon's more western, Indiana Jones-inspired atmosphere.

And while this is usually the point I complain that there is yet another DRPG without an English translation, the good news is that at least the story has been translated. Mostly.

Someone out there made a full Let's Play with English subs, which extends to most dialogue, enemy descriptions and locations.

So, it's fine if you're interested in the story. I am interested in the story myself. As I am interested in the gameplay, dungeon design, character interactions, music...

AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

New Suzume no Tojimari Visual & Trailers Revealed

https://wp.me/p4jiOt-dbX

The official website of Makoto Shinkai‘s upcoming anime film Suzume no Tojimari (Sparrow’s Door Closure) has a brand new visual…

[aminotvxq]

I tried to re-interpret/recreate some scenes from Yugioh DM: fan art series

#2. Episode 175 - a pinch of cuteness won't hurt you

The second duel between Atem and Rafael is one of my favorite duels that have ever aired. I have so many things to say and have more pieces to draw about their exchange of dialogue. I'll get back to this story later.

This duel takes place between two of the most serious characters in the series. Absolutely no joking around-- except for a moment of cuteness overloading when Kuriboh Brothers cheerfully bounce around in the Seal of Orichalcos...😂😂 This scene gives a breather for the audience with a grin on their lips appreciating the cute furballs. I love it when renouned Yugioh animation directors, including Kenichi Hara who was responsible for this episode, add pleasant jokes like this at their discretion :))

Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal (ep 98)

dir: Kenichi Hara

[kaiowut99]

Appreciation post for some of the quick, pretty (or quality [affectionate]) in-between frames in Teardrop V1, courtesy of Kenichi Hara and the other OP/END Creators: Junpei Ogawa, Futoshi Higashide, Sono Kato, Aoi Kisaragi, Takayuki Noguchi, and Masayuki Hiraoka. your work on all that cake is much appreciated

There are a bunch of nice shots in the scene as they're setting up to duel, but I love that closeup on Manjoume that lasts for 2-3 frames, and that one transition shot between Kenzan and Shou where Kenzan is confidently passing the baton to Shou (still enjoy how their friendship arc went in Season 2). Neos's cake aside, that other shot is just funny to me--"Neos offers you [your least-favorite thing], do you accept?" And then with a down Judai in this version, there are these frames with some melancholy to his face, ending with him seeming to force a smile and "act tough," as the lyrics describe. The lineart and use of thick lines here/there really helps too, and the song is just always fantastic. 10/10, someone hug Judai

Bonus: the V2 equivalents of those last six frames, as Judai finds his feet yet still steels himself for what's to come (as this version started being used as the duel with Professor Satou and the question of what he duels for come up):

BONUS Bonus: rejoice, the dub ate some cake too:

Synopsis

On the other side of the door, was time in its entirety—

17-year-old Suzume’s journey begins in a quiet town in Kyushu when she encounters a young man who tells her, “I’m looking for a door.” What Suzume finds is a single weathered door standing upright in the midst of ruins as though it was shielded from whatever catastrophe struck. Seemingly mesmerized by its power, Suzume reaches for the knob…

Doors begin to open one after another all across Japan, unleashing destruction upon any who are near. Suzume must close these portals to prevent further disaster.

The stars The sunset The morning sky

Within that realm, it was as though all time had melted together in the sky—

Drawn in by this mysterious door, Suzume’s journey is about to begin.

[tinyreviews]

This is the middle of Your Name and Weathering With You. I m certain it would have ranked higher if it had the same repertoire of excellent songs as Your Name did.

Suzume is a 2022 Japanese animated coming-of-age fantasy adventure film written and directed by Makoto Shinkai, produced by CoMix Wave Films, and distributed by Toho. 

The film features the voices of Nanoka Hara and Hokuto Matsumura, with the character designs by Masayoshi Tanaka, animation direction by Kenichi Tsuchiya, art direction by Takumi Tanji, and music by Radwimps and Kazuma Jinnouchi.

The Man Who Left His Will on Film (Nagisa Oshima, 1970)

Cast: Kazuo Goto, Emiko Iwasaki, Sukio Fukuoka, Kenichi Fukuda, Hiroshi Isogai, Kazuo Hashimoto, Kazuya Horikoshi, Tomoyo Oshima. Screenplay: Nagisa Oshima, Tsutomu Tamura, Masato Hara, Mamoru Sasaki. Cinematography: Toichiro Narushima. Art direction: Shigemasa Toda. Film editing: Keiichi Uraoka. Music: Toru Takemitsu. Nagisa Oshima's The Man Who Left His Will on Film owes something to Michelangelo Antonio's Blow-Up (1966) in that both involve photography that tantalizes and hints at an unsolved (unsolvable?) mystery. But Oshima's film has political overtones, a kind of goodbye-to-all-that movie about the waning of student protests in Japan. The story it tells is about the quest of Motoki (Kazuo Goto) to find out why a young activist, Endo (Kazuya Horikoshi), committed suicide when he was being chased by police across a rooftop. Motoki tries to puzzle out Endo's motives by retracing the footage he left in the camera he was holding when he leaped (fell? was pushed?). But the film resists interpretation almost as much as the one Oshima made about it. Oshima is always surprising and enigmatic, and this is one of his more challenging works.

Suzume no Tojimari

Wellcome friends in this article I am covering The Anime Series NamedSuzume no Tojimarifeel free to read this article and don't forget to press the follow button.

 While going to class one day, Suzume Iwato incidentally finds Souta Munakata, a youthful individual searching for abandoned locales. The optional school young woman organizes Souta to a nearby ruin, `but out of pure interest, she decides to go to a comparable goal.

At that point when there, Suzume finds a separate doorway with a deceptive universe lying past it — a spot that she can see and feel, but not enter. A bizarre stone lies on the ground nearby, yet it changes into a catlike like creature and takes off when Suzume lifts it. All of a sudden fearful, she rushes toward her school, not understanding that her show of leaving the doorway open will have results.

With the "foundation" conveyed, the insidious inside the other universe can now uninhibitedly escape and release ruin all through Japan. Expecting to address her dangerous blunder, Suzume joins Souta — whose real goal is to hold fiendish back from spoiling — in finding and locking all entrances before the country is obliterated.

Suzume (Japanese: すずめの戸締まり, Hepburn: Suzume no Tojimari, lit. "Suzume's Securing") is a 2022 Japanese vivified dream experience movie composed and coordinated by Makoto Shinkai, created by CoMix Wave Movies, and disseminated by Toho. The movie includes the voices of Nanoka Hara and Hokuto Matsumura, with the person plans by Masayoshi Tanaka, movement heading by Kenichi Tsuchiya, craftsmanship bearing by Takumi Tanji, and music by Radwimps and Kazuma Jinnouchi. Suzume is Shinkai's third joint effort with Radwimps and Tanaka, after Your Name (2016) and Enduring with You (2019), and was propelled by the Tōhoku tremor and tidal wave. The film follows 17-year-old secondary school understudies Suzume Iwato and Souta Munakata, who collaborate to forestall a progression of fiascos across Japan.

The film started its creation in mid-2020, in the long run being declared as finished by October 2022. A clever transformation, likewise composed by Shinkai, and a manga series shown by Denki Amashima both appeared preceding the film's delivery.

Suzume previously debuted in IMAX in Japan on November 7, 2022, and was dramatically delivered cross-country on November 11; it was delivered globally across 2023 by Crunchyroll, Sony Pictures Delivering (under the Sony Pictures Delivering Worldwide pennant), and Wild Bundle Global. The film got positive surveys from pundits, with acclaim for its activity, characters, profound weight, and music, albeit a few commentators condemned the plot for being fundamentally like Shinkai's past movies. It has netted $298.3 million around the world, turning into the fourth-most elevated earning film of 2022 in Japan and the fourth-most elevated netting Japanese film ever.

Story Line

Suzume Iwato is a 17-year-old secondary school young lady who lives with her auntie in Kyushu. One evening, she fantasizes about looking for her mom as a youngster in a demolished area. The following morning, while setting out toward school, Suzume experiences a young fellow looking for deserted regions with entryways. She enlightens him regarding an old onsen resort close by, then follows the man herself to the hotel. Suzume finds an entryway remaining solitary on its edge, which shows a twilight field through the entryway, however, she can't enter it. She gets a feline sculpture which turns into a genuine feline and escapes. Terrified, she goes to class. At noon, Suzume sees a burst-like section emerging from the site of the onsen that no other individual can see. Returning there, she tracks down the man from previously, attempting to close the entryway. Seeing him battle and get harmed, Suzume hurries to help. They effectively close the entryway and the red section vanishes, yet not before colliding imperceptibly with the town and causing quakes like harm.

Suzume takes the man, Souta Munakata, to her home to gauze his injury. He makes sense of that he traversed Japan, finding and securing entryways in deserted spots to forestall a monster otherworldly "worm" from causing seismic tremors. The feline from the hotel shows up and transforms Souta into the kid's seat he was perched on. Souta, presently a three-legged seat, pursues the feline to a ship set out toward Ehime with Suzume following. He portrays the feline as a cornerstone, and that the worm was left after its evacuation out of close to the neglected entryway.

At Ehime, the pair use signs via web-based entertainment from local people who have captured the feline and named it "Daijin" to follow it across Shikoku. With the assistance of neighborhood inhabitant Chika, they track down the worm and close its entryway of section at an unwanted school. Following Daijin's path to Kobe because of Rumi, a neighborhood bar proprietor, the pair experience the worm reappearing at an unwanted entertainment mecca. Sōta requests that Daijin turn around into a cornerstone, however, he declines, needing to "play" with Suzume. She and Sōta lock the worm's entrance. Sōta makes sense of the entrance prompts the Always After where spirits pursue demise. As they go through the night at Rumi's bar, it is uncovered that Sōta is losing his healthy identity in his seat structure. 

After following Daijin to Tokyo, Sōta has Suzume take him to his loft. He makes sense of the legend of the worm Namazu, and the way things are assuaged by the situation of two cornerstones in eastern and western Japan. The western cornerstone has turned into the feline Daijin, while records of the eastern cornerstone's area are dark. Should the worm show up in Tokyo, it could obliterate the city like the 1923 Extraordinary Kantō quake. Daijin returns and uncovers that he had given his capability as a cornerstone to Sōta's seat structure. In the wake of finding the reappeared worm, Sōta transforms into a cornerstone in Suzume's grasp, passing on Suzume to seal it away. She does so and awakens in a cavern lodging Tokyo's entryway. Looking into the Always Later, she sees the cornerstone Sōta yet again can't enter to contact him. Suzume visits Sōta's granddad at the clinic. He clarifies that Suzume's capacity to see the worm and the Consistently After through the entryways implies that she has incidentally entered the domain once previously. Besides, the entryway that she previously utilized is the main spot where she can reappear the Always Later and save Sōta.

Rejoining her Auntie Tamaki, who followed her from Kyushu, Suzume goes to her life as a youngster old neighborhood in Tōhoku, which was obliterated in the 2011 Tōhoku quake and tidal wave along with the assistance from Sōta's kindred college colleague and companion, Tomoya Serizawa whom she met at Sōta's loft just before the worm showed up in Tokyo. At a rest stop en route, Suzume finds that Tamaki was moved by Sadaijin, the eastern cornerstone. Tamaki takes Suzume to the vestiges of her old house where she once resided with her mom/Tamaki's sister, a medical caretaker who was killed in the wave. Suzume tracks down her old entryway and enters with Daijin and Sadaijin. She arises in the Consistently Later, which shows up as her town following the seismic tremor wave. While Sadaijin occupies the worm, Suzume stirs Sōta, returning him to human structure. Conceding rout, Daijin gets back to being a cornerstone. With Daijin and Sadaijin, Suzume and Sōta reseal the worm, keeping it from leaving the Always Later.

Sōta then, at that point, sees a kid in the Consistently Later: Suzume from quite a while back. Suzume recollects how she entered the Consistently After as a youngster following her mom's demise. She takes her life as a youngster seat from the Consistently After variant of her home and gives it to her more youthful self, informing her regarding her future. Youthful Suzume exits the Consistently After with the seat, prompting her to be found by Tamaki 12 years earlier. Suzume and Sōta leave the Consistently After themselves, with Sōta getting back to Tokyo while Suzume and Tamaki return to Kyushu, returning to the companions she made en route.

In a little while, back in Miyazaki, Suzume is headed to school when she by and runs into Sōta, strolling up a similar street where they initially met.

It's pretty cool of the Yuma vs Tron duel to have two episodes handled back-to-back art-wise by the fantastic Gil Bo Noh and Kenichi Hara

Was also touching how Yuma pointed out the hope and loneliness felt by III, IV, and V at Byron who used them as tools of revenge despite being the good kids they are, then punctuated it after his "What would a kid like you know?" retort with "I know what it's like when a parent goes missing on ya!" Also that bit about III/IV/V doing what they did for Tron's sake probably because they thought it natural to help their parent but it's still wrong. The somber OST in that scene was really good. And #69's definitely animated to be pretty imposing with its God Rage and God Slaughter moves; the Xyz Change to ZeXal and seeing it was still a struggle to hold Tron off was good. Also always interesting when there's so much packed into the cold open that the OP kicks in almost 8 minutes into the episode, lol.

(Checked the dub out of curiosity and most of it actually was dubbed pretty well, though the dub's OST really takes away from it, but Tron and less-so Yuma what even are your voices)

brb gotta go cheer for the new protag ZeXal-Or-Not
