10-5 BN= Yagura Karatachi becomes the fourth mizukage and starts bloody mist era

4 BN= Zabuza kills his peers in academy in order to be promoted to Genin-rank

1 BN= Yagura seals Isobu inside himself after Rin's sacrifice | Duy killd four of seven swordsmen of mist including Jinin Akebino and Kushinaru Kuriarare and Jinpachi Munashi | Ao attains a byakugan in Third Ninja World War

[wajjs]

No shade towards this post, I just noticed all the options are more recent animes and there's no love for the oldies. So!

there's gonna be a second poll with more options!

[roleplay-abiogenesis2]

//My housemate roped me into watching Trigun with her and now it's reawakened in me a strong urge to go and rewatch all my favorite things from the 90s/Early 2000s..

Inuyasha, Saiyuki, Ranma 1/2, Card Captor Sakura, Rurouni Kenshin, Yu Yu Hakusho, Ushio & Tora, Ghostsweeper Mikami, B't X...

And OFC Crunchyroll has almost none of them. So now I am scrambling to find Saiyuki DVDs that will ship and play in the UK because we can't have HULU.

When you grow up watching anime

If I look back at my childhood, I probably remember myself watching anime from the 90s with my mom, which is strange, because I was born in 2001 so by the time, I became conscious those animes already had some years of existing, but there is a reason behind that, and it is my mom. My mom was a huge fan of anime series before I ever exist, so when it was time for me to watch “cartoons” she would turn on the tv (I can’t remember if it was cartoon network or ETCTv or any other channel) to put the series she sometime also liked; I clearly remember series as Slam Dunk, or Rurouni Kenshin, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Sailor Moon and any other series that came to Latin America to be broadcasted on Tv in Chile, and not only me, my cousins were also victims of my mom in this way, but at the same time, this build a strong friendship among me and my cousins because were into anime as child, it was nice that we could all watch series together on vacations and one my cousins we had video games consoles to play all together… it was a cool childhood, we still play video games together but as depressed young adults who study and work we have not the same energy or the time as when we were kids, and we have other interest and more defined personalities but we still keep being close.

Then, eventually I started to watch anime in Japanese (not dubbed) and I found people in my school that also liked anime so I never felt alone or rejected by watching anime, even when it was an all-girls school I made good friends and I always manage myself to find someone who liked anime like me and don’t get me wrong, anime is not my only way of entertainment, I do have friends that are absolutely not into anime but for some reason I always could find at least 1 person… Now that I think about it, it may be because it is the social circle in which I move and in addition to that in social networks it is much easier to find people who share your tastes ... maybe.

A point in my life has come (And believe me, 20 years is not long lived) where I can't say if anime is something uncommon today in Chilean society to the point of being an "urban tribe", because everyone at some time has seen an anime, everyone knows what is a “mono chino", even during the social outbreak there were banners with anime characters ... The image of otaku with a bag full of pins that wears all in black has almost completely disappeared from Chile (perhaps influenced by the covid-19 situation and the confinements) that you hardly see that kind of thing anymore, today's otaku watches anime and shares it on social networks and that's it.

I Remember one day asking my mother "Mom, ¿why there are so many people who like anime?" and she replied "No, really there aren't that many people, it's just that you've always been surrounded by people who like anime" and of course, she is right, I started university when the pandemic began, I have not had the opportunity to see social circles that I am not used to. And to finish: it seems a joke, but it is an anecdote... The day I enrolled in my Faculty and told my family, one of my cousins ​​said: "Your faculty is full of otakus."… (Guess which is my Faculty??)

[the-stray-liger]

What other good 90's anime you know? Ovo

Unfortunately, just the basics QuQ NGE, Gundam Wing,  Rurouni Kenshin, Tekkaman Blade, Digimon, Zoids of course, all that jazz I was lucky enough to see on tv here.

I did manage to watch a few episodes of rarer stuff like Excel Saga, Escaflowne, Corrector Yui, Ghost Sweeper Mikami, DNA^2, Rayearth, Saber Marionette J, Trigun, that kind of shit.

And then stuff I managed to watch later on like Berserk and Utena and Vampire Hunter D, GTO and some OVA stuff. QUQ

NON-SPOILER REVIEW Overall: This was so much fun! I thoroughly enjoyed it! It reminded me a lot of Tenimyu where everything but the main topic (e.g. tennis, or in this case.... going to the west? Becoming gods? Becoming priests?) happens. There's so many ridiculous and funny moments in this hat's just so unrelated to the main plot. It was very funny, there were quite a bit of adlib or higawari (daily changes) as far as I could tell and it was a hella lot of fun! It really made me want to pick up the manga once I finished watching this! Rating: 8/10

SPOILER REVIEW

For once I just enjoyed the play rather than making lots of mental and critical notes through out it, so my review may be shorter than normal.

PLOT We follow Ukoku and Koumyou as they reminisce about their training days, they also somehow manage to go back into the past and be part of it so sometimes they have to run away and hide from their younger selves. Also, I'm not a Saiyuuki fan so I could be fuzzy here, the main plot between the two of them is that Koumyou is attempting to kill Ukoku so he can get the ultimate blessing or something (y'know that mark on Ukoku's head).

This is the summary of the story for the Wikia: At a training temple buried deep in the snowy mountains, eleven apprentice monks battle each other in order to become the next highest ranking monk, a Sanzo Priest. ---Among them, there was one genius.

THE STAGE

There was so much charm in this stage! So many parts of this was just so charming and so much fun!

☆ The opening scene is really good because it's where Ukoku and Koumyou are talking seriously with Jikaku about their mission and what must be done, but Jikaku is just ripping into Koumyou like there's no tomorrow. He was very funny!! There was one point where Jikaku asks 'and how old are you?' and Koumyou replies 'I'm 16/18' and the entire audience died in laughter. It continued for a good enough time. Then Jikaku kept getting Koumyou's name wrong too.

☆ Then there's the opening song where they wear cat masks and I really enjoyed that visual of them! I really should read the manga so I can understand what it all means.

☆ And so we follow them through the training and they have two trainings; the first one which is the day before their final test or at least one of their big training tests.

☆ We’re introduced to young boys who are in the middle of training and they have to fight while staying out of the water, or else you’ll be out. I really liked the projection mapping when they 'fell' to the lower part of the stage and the mapping showed the water splashes on the wall behind them. It was neat!

So the night before their big test, they get into a crap ton of ridiculous stuff. So let's break that down!

☆ First we have bath time! And the public bath owner won't let Houmei, Genkai and Toudai take a bath because Jyuuan is in there and he's clearly more important than them three xD When Jyuuan comes out, he has a slow dance and song about his bath time and how gorgeous his hair is but obviously Houmei just doesn't care and sneaks into the bath while Jyuuan is prancing about xD Then Jyuuan realises there's a knot in his hair and he has a hissy fit and runs off trying to fix it xD

☆ Also during the shower scene, I remember someone (I want to say Jyuuan but I don't think it was) falling on top of Houmei and it was the very comedic moment of a split second of silence before he gave the biggest high-pitched screen ever; it was absolutely hilarious.

☆ The next ridiculous thing to happen is about Shou-un; he acts all tough and like he hates everyone but then Ryuuzen comes on stage with a mic and is like 'he acts all tought but in fact......... he's really a nice person!' and then there's a song of how cute and nice Shou-un really is and this makes Shou-un really angry and embarrassed and he's like 'I'm not nice!! I'm a tough guy! I'm mean!!!' and then mid-way through the song, three of the cast come down (one of them being Gichou who's pretending to be a marathon runner, and the other two being supporters) from the back of the theatre room and down the stairs, pretending they're in a marathon and Gichou collapses in the mid-section of the audience seating area and he's like 'I can't go on anymore' but the audience start clapping and cheering for him to continue you, Ryuuzen is like an MC /Commentator at this point for the song and audience and this ridiculous skit. So Gichou finds the strength to get back up and makes his way to the main stage where he collapses again and the commentator is like 'can you continue on? For you family?! Your wife?! Your daughter?!' but he's down on the floor. So here, Shou-un breaks and gets down on the floor next to Gichou and starts supporting him and telling him to go on and Ryuuzen is like 'see he's nice!' and so Gichou finishes his marathon and the song about Shou-un being nice continues and finishes. I was dying of laughter this entire time. The ending of this scene was the best because Ryuuzen is like 'god guys, why you so loud! Some of us are trying to sleep!' and storms off and Houmei, Genkai and Toudai are just stood there in shock like '...but you were the one making all the noise!' xD it was very perfect timing and very funny and I enjoyed this so much!

☆ Then we had Ukoku and Koumyou randomly cross-dressing and working at a hostess club -- the audience went absolutely mental when they saw Koumyou/Mikami Shun in his dress becuase he damn he looks so gorgeous and so beautiful in it! And everyone died of laughter when Ukoku/Karahashi Mitsuru came out because he still had his stumble and he was bow-legged and he kept his deep voice and instead of tending to the customers, he was busy pouring him and drinking his own drinks xD And then it got even more hilarious by the amount of times he said 'omoshiroi na / isn't this interesting (in a very masculine way)' and the customers were so baffled by him but Koumyou was trying really hard to keep their cover safe while Ukoku just didn't give a shit xD and then it got even more ridiculous when Ukoku lifted his dress all the way up so we could see his skinny, hair legs and his black boxers -- and he did it twice and we were just dying of laughter and poor Koumyou was like 'get out! let's get out now!'  xD what the point was of this scene, I have no fucking idea xD I think it was just the boys imagining what it's like in a hostess club? But I swear to god that one of the 'girls' was YuuKun.... but if it's not, I need to find out who the fuck it was because DAMN they were damn pretty and had the nicest legs and arms!!

☆ And then we get to the boys' sleeping quarters where they're all clearly wide awake and none of them can or want to sleep so they start doing stupid things like throwing pillows at each other; especially between Shou-un and Jyuuan xD they also ended up singing, obviously.

☆ We get some slower moments around this point; we get a partially solo song from Genkai because he has special powers which allow him to see the future and he remembers how his parents died (they were slaughtered and killed which is sad) and then during this song we also have some of the other boys like Jyuuan singing the troubles they've been through. Also Genkai is bullied somewhat during his training his because he's not human like the rest of them.

So finally we get to the day of the test:

☆ Which started off very nicely because all the boys stripped off the top half of their costumes so we could see ALL their torso and arm muscles and of course they all looked great! But of course I was gooooooogly too much at YuuKun - in fact I didn't really watch anyone else when he was on stage because I AM BIAS!

☆ I really liked how in the fight scene, they soon learnt that fighting together makes them stronger and it was great seeing them go off into pairs.

☆ During this test scene, we cut back to Ukoku and Koumyou, and Ukoku finally tries and attempts to attack Koumyou and it was very beautifully done but of course Ukoku admits that's it's impossible because of how strong and talented Koumyou is in comparison.

☆ We get to the climax of the stage which is a GIANT SNOWMAN! Their final enemy! And Houmei quickly realises that they should ALL join together in order to defeat it, so they all join hands and combine their power to defeat it! I really loved this scene because many parts of the stage at this point 'collapsed' and 'fell down' so everything looked very messes and it fitted the whole 'there's avalanches everywhere because the snowman is raging and breaking everything'.

☆ BUT one thing in this scene confused me, probably just because I haven't read the manga but; when they joined forces, Genkai didn't join in. In fact, he just hopped onto Toudai's back and Toudai carried him for the entirety of that final battle scene; so is it that he doesn't have any powers similar to them and that's why he couldn't join in, but he's obviously an important nakama (comrade xD) so they wanted to protect him.

☆ I like how for their final attack, they are at the top most set of the stage. way way at the back and behind a railing, and they're all in a line and it was a great way to finish it. But the boys had such a short time to get from the bottom stage, up to the top stage so you could tell they're ran up and some of them were hard breathing -- most likely partially acting but I bet some of it was true haha

*

I did have one slightly negative thing to say but it doesn't seem that worthwhile to say.... but in case you wanted to know; I was a tad underwhelmed by Taiga in this. I don't think he was all that able to show off much n this one but that could just be his character? Because he’s great in EnStage, he’s great in YowaMushi, I’ve heard he’s great in Daiya no A, he was great in Danshi ha Tsurakunai yo? so maybe it was just this one. I think his character just wasn’t developed enough for this stage. I wanted to know more - about all of them actually.
