I'm mostly just here to reblog stuff but feel free to stick around! I'm a 25 year old nerd from England. I love anime, cartoons and video games and tend to jump around to lots of different fandoms from day to day. My shipping list probably reaches to the other end of the universe
i googled “protest stock photo” because i was curious to see how they would handle the subject matter while maintaining the inoffensive, generic marketability of most stock images and i don’t know what i expected but uh
group chat after you post something cursed

So there are several species of frogs that have evolved to be so small that their vestibular balance system doesn’t work well and I’m sorry but it’s the funniest thing to watch them try to jump.
Replaying Tales of Symphonia during my cancer battle, I was kind of gobbsmacked how much I related to Colette’s struggle with her body becoming a giant crystal.
For me, I had really bad reactions to chemo at one point. I had a horrible rash breakout on my face constantly, and then my abdomen starting to form these horrible blisters that peeled and bleed. Like I was ok in the end, but man, I felt disgusting. I get it Colette.
Pitch: A set of isekais each dropping their first seasons before any drops their second. Each one has a different main protagonist, different fantasy nation, different cultures and monsters and things for the protagonist to discover, focusing on different things like alchemy and sorcery and knighthood and stuff.
With the gradual, dawning realization that these shows exist in continuity with one another, taking place in different nations of the same fantasy world.
And then the other shoe drops when it’s revealed that these nations are in conflict, and each one summoned a Chosen One hero to win the war for their nation and conquer all the others.
…the shows become more interconnected from there.
Practically speaking, this can’t really be anime-first. For this plan to work, you need to commit to producing several cour of anime before getting to the big twist, which means you need a lot of money, which means a big cross-promotional marketing push for the ISEKAI CROSSOVER WAR franchise is pretty much inevitable.
It’s more plausible that this could take off if a bunch of light novel authors and/or mangaka worked together. Maybe start with some subtle references to each others’ series, but as the heroes grow stronger and more politically influential those references start getting less subtle and more plot-relevant.
…the risk being that some of the series might get cancelled before the crossover plots get off the ground. And that their editors or their editors’ bosses might nip the whole concept in the bud. It’s a risky plan.
“It’s ya boy Guzma” is probably the smoothest translation of ore-sama I’ve ever seen (makes eyes at Hetalia and TTGL) but it’s also unfortunately hilarious wwwww
It’s for ore-sama? AWESOME!
Yeah, ore-sama is a bitch to translate because standard English just doesn’t use pronouns like that but “it’s ya boy” is actually a great way of conveying both the conceited “you should know me” and inappropriately close connotations. I think it’s kinda rare to see direct ways of translating how rough/friendly speech is kinda the same thing in Japanese. I mean, we DO have an understanding that being overly familiar is rude in English but I feel like I rarely see that aspect of ore speech translated gracefully.
