Hey, since we're (I'm) having Arisu hours tonight I'm looking at her profile in the character guide and REALLY wishing I knew Japanese better because I think this thing is saying that Arisu Makino is a pseudonym??? The fandom wiki says that Atsumi Shimoyanagi is her pseudonym but I think this part:

is saying that it's her real name??

Love After World Domination Unveils New Visual and Sentai Team Cast

  The heart wants what it wants — even if that means dating the enemy!

  Love After World Domination was announced earlier this month, based on the rom-com superhero manga by Hiroshi Noda and Takahiro Wakamatsu. The series is a twist on super sentai action, in which a red ranger falls for a beautiful enemy combatant.

  A new key visual was released today, showing lovebirds Fudo Aikawa and Desumi Magahara having a quiet moment amongst collateral damage:

    The anime's official site was also updated with more cast members, starting with the remaining members of Akira's team:

  Kazuyuki Okitsu (Evan Edroch in Tower of God) as Hayato Ojino/Blue Gelato

  Nene Hieda (Momo Yashiro in Gundam Build Divers) as Misaki Jinguji/Yellow Gelato

  Junji Majima (Yuuichirou Shimoyanagi in SHIROBAKO) as Daigo Todoroki/Green Gelato

  Rina Hidaka (Last Order in A Certain Magical Index) as Haru Arisugawa/Pink Gelato

  Early character art has rolled out for two more of the "Princess Series," Desumi's fellow evil minions, as well as one of her classmates:

  Kana Hanazawa (Mayuri Shiina in Steins;gate) as Kiki Majima/Princess of Magic Beasts

  Hisako Kanemoto (Sailor Mercury in Sailor Moon Crystal) as Kyoko Kuroyuri/Princess of Steel

  Ayane Sakura (Ochaco Uraraka in My Hero Academia) as Anna Hojo

  Love After World Domination tells the story of the unlikely couple of Fudo Aikawa and Desumi Magahara, a.k.a. Gelato 5's Red Gelato and the villainous organization Gecko's Princess of Death. By all outward appearances they're bitter rivals; but off the battlefield, they attempt to keep their romance under wraps.

  The series will premiere sometime in 2022, and is licensed by Funimation.

Mike Ives, in The New York Times, writes about the Japanese photographers who went to Hiroshima and Nagasaki following the A-Bombs in 1945.

“’I beg you to allow me to take pictures of your utmost sufferings,’ Mr. Matsumoto, who was 30 at the time, said he told survivors. ‘I am determined to let people in this world know without speaking a word what kind of apocalyptic tragedies you have gone through.’”

Bones scattered in September 1945 on a school playground, less than a mile from ground zero.  Teiji Nihei via The New York Times

Several photographers roamed across the shattered landscapes left by the world’s first nuclear devices, taking photos of physical destruction, and the visible wounding done to survivors.  They also witnessed families attempting to live, and burning their dead:

“In Nagasaki, Mr. Matsumoto saw bonfires and assumed they were for cooking. Later, he realized that people were cremating their relatives because the bodies had putrefied.”

The negatives needed to be hidden, however, as U.S. policy during the Occupation was that such images were to be kept from the general public.  In 1952, after Occupation ended, some photos began to “trickle out.”  Now, the Dolph Brisco Center for American History is publishing a book, Flash of Light, Wall of Fire, compiling Japanese documentary photos.

A police station on Sept. 15 in Shimoyanagi-cho, Hiroshima. The clock stopped at the time of the bomb blast.  Eiichi Matsumoto via The New York Times.

Today’s Japanese anti-nuclear photographers and the director of the Brisco Center agreed on the basic point of publishing: to make plain what happens when nuclear devices are used, without any attempt to assign blame.  

“...Mr. Matsumoto met with Soviet photographers who had covered the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster. They asked what type of protective gear he had worn in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

‘You’ve got to be kidding me,’ he said he replied...He and his colleagues had ‘absolutely no idea’ about the health risks, he added, so they wore ordinary clothing.”

Full story from The New York Times, by Mike Ives.

Flash of Light, Wall of Fire available now from the University of Texas Press.
