Hello 😇👋,

Shin Teikoku arc has really good animation and storyboarding in general; this particular scene has cleverly drawn frames where Sakuma's hair was positioned to look like how he normally looks until he fully turns at Kidou and you can see the the black eye

I don't have frames that are of 1:1 comparison but I hope you get the gist

THIS CHAPTER WAS SO GREAt I’m sorry I can’t scan even it and my photos suck but just look at sakuma he’s the cutest thing ever

also fubuki gave him his shirt

and I hope you die (I hope we both die)

Genda Koujirou Analysis

I’d like to start by thanking dear @gracyfangirl2020 for requesting me this analysis, Genda is one of my favourite character after al,l and I hope to give him justice.

Genda is such a caring, reliable, down to earth friend, he inspires trust in others and despite being a supporting character, he often plays an important role. His first real appearance is during Raimon’s second match against Teikoku, ep 12, where he’s shown to be the only one worried about Kidou’s wellbeing and what he was up to.

We can see just how much he cares and how he’s ready to just stop his friends from doing anything that could bring them harm 

BUT, here’s the second most important thing about Genda: he follows orders. Despite his will to protect Kidou, he won’t defy an order from the higher ups.

He reminds me of the yakuza, honestly, he’s passionate but knows when to restrain himself, obedient and loyal, he’d make the perfect right hand man for a yakuza’s boss and anyway I believe he was born and raised in a very traditional/strict family.

But despite all this, he’s a person with a rooted moral sense and we can see, both in the original series and in Ares, just how much he despises Kageyama for his action. Even if he has to recognize him as his Coach again and again he won’t be silent about his disapproval.

He’s fierce and passionate and in the original series

his role as the emotional pillar for his friends is as clear as day.

It is no coincidence that during the Aliea arch he and not Sakuma was the one directly pursued by Fudou. If you weaken the one peoples rely on, it’ll be easier to bring the others down as well.

And yet, even with the Aliea Stone that enhanced his negative emotions, he was still able to care and worry for Sakuma, that shows just how big his heart truly is. Stronger than hatred, stronger than its dark side itself.

A similar situation happened in Ares as well. By putting him on bench, Kageyama knew he would upset the team, damaging its emotional balance and performances. And only when he came back on the field did they unite once more as a whole oiled machine.

Not only he gave stability to his team, he even acted upon his own moral code and judgment, ripping the captain’s band from Shimerigawa 

to give it back to whom he believed worthy of wearing it (Sakuma),

without asking first to the one that should’ve been in charge of such a decision. He follows orders, yes, but he also has limits.

Deeply disgusted by disrespectful people

Always supportive of his friends in all their decisions, like when Kidou switched to Raimon and wanted to take Zeus down

or when he went to Kidou’s graduation ceremony

A heart so big that makes him constantly worry for his team

but for others as well

In conclusion I’d say that he’s one of the few characters I’d go to for advices and I know I’d be greeted by an heart-warming smile.

Hope this was a good analysis and what you expected <3

if we ignore the racist lips i actually really fuck with this design. i like the cabbage lookin hair

speaking of the lips i think it's funny that they forgot to draw them in this group shot. like he looks fine with normal lips why'd they have to give him the racist lips 💀

I find it funny when queer fantasy stories are written in a setting where homophobia doesn't exist, but there's a ~forbidden romance~ element coming from some completely different, fantastical prejudice. Like

"Son, I don't care if you suck dick, but no child of mine will be sharing a bed with a goddamn necromancer!"

On Miximax (1)

…Yes, I shamelessly inspired the title on John Stuart Mill.

Anyway, it’s about time I worked on exclusive content for this blog instead of just reblogging old stuff. It was either this or listing which characters are intended to ever get a miximax and which ones aren’t, but I believe this could be a bit funner. And less disappointing for fans.

This essay I’m about to pull off is the result of studying the main miximaxes in CS in a bid to understand (and reproduce) the changes a player undergoes when it mixitranses. This is by no means an ultimate list, nor a scientific process–just a bunch of conclusions I have come up with out of looking, comparing, crying and analysing what we were given. This list might grow with time; if that were to happen, I would notify you all about it, of course!

Much, much, MUCH more, under the cut!

I've been thinking about ina11 and tobitaka 24/7 the past two days

i hope i am not only a mutual to you but also someone you can point at a fictional character and go "oh shit that guy on tumblr is super fucking mentally unwell about that one" about
