Masked Vigilante

AFTER MUCH PROTESTING, I caved and got a Tumblr. Yes the title is silly. You will find translations and fanfiction here, mostly related to Nitro+Chiral works. I am friendly and helpful; feel free to ask me anything.

Dmmd anime

Hey all. I haven't been on tumblr in ages. I was actually checking out Dragon Age art because I'm super psyched for Dragon Age Inquisition, but then I was going through my feed and saw that the DMMd anime has started airing, so I watched the first ep.

I like how the Rhyme battles are animated now so I can sort of imagine them a bit better? Though I still have no idea how the fuck they can plug into virtual reality without any paraphernalia. 

Are all the voice actors the same? For some reason Trip sounded weird to me, but I haven't played the game in ages so I have no idea if it's just my memory being shitty. 

The first episode was gorgeously animated, but I've seen the screenshots of later eps so I'll brace myself for the off-model animation.

And, uh.... my super hope is that Aoba either ends up ambiguously with everybody, or if it has to be just a single person, that it's Koujaku but I'm pretty sure I won't get my wish. ;_;

GUYS I was looking through the DMMd files and found this super secret bonus Brojack/Noiz scene. I was like OMGMGMGMGMGGMMG.

[moreline]

I can’t actually believe this exist???? ? ?? ??? ?

[ancestralmask]

So this post has been making the rounds again. I thought it would be obvious that it's not actually DMMd -- the clip I made has them calling each other different names -- but anyway.

It's actually from a Drama CD called Seifukusha no Koi. It features Hino Satoshi as the uke and Takahashi Hiroki as the seme (Noiz and Koujaku respectively).

I don't remember the story much because IIRC it really sucks, and even though they have the sexiest voices in the world they can't really make up for a bad script.

Blablabla tragic past blablabla horrible gore to come blablabla

Can I take a quick break here to wonder at Japan's perception of Germany? Seriously, I have never seen anybody dress like that there, yet every other manga seems to have modern day Germans dressing like it's still the 1800s.

You'd think with it being the future, globalized fashion would lead to more people dressing like this:

[ancestralmask]

that doesn’t look very “kimochi ii” to me. That looks a lot more like “hellishly painful.”

[hanzo-apologist]

excuse u 

u dont know me

[ancestralmask]

Ironically I named that screencap "apparently shiroba is noiz"

[ancestralmask]

"This isn't what Koujaku wanted!"

says that little voice inside Sly's head that sounds suspiciously like Aoba. And Koujaku seems to react to that voice, even if it's never vocalized.

Well, too bad. Aoba's going to disappear soon, and Sly will have full control. And he knows he's right. This is Koujaku's desired outcome.

(not that it really matters.)

Also man for a bad end this one is so tame. I mean, even the dick-biting didn't really make me cringe the way just the suggestion of what Clear was doing did.

[ancestralmask]

that doesn't look very "kimochi ii" to me. That looks a lot more like "hellishly painful."

[ancestralmask]

Okay lessee if I got this right.

The Aoba that Koujaku knows and loves has disappeared because, when he failed at Scrapping Koujaku, he blamed himself so much that he drowned in this self-loathing. And so Sly came out. 

Meanwhile, Koujaku is having longer and longer blackouts, not sure how long has passed since the last time he woke up. His other personality is slowly taking over.

Maybe these two are matched for each other after all.

EDIT: Dang, somebody's bitter. Aoba continues to have a very slight existence inside their combined consciousness. He can sense that Sly is talking to Koujaku, but... TOO BAD, Sly never intends to let Aoba out ever again. This is revenge for all the years when Sly was the one trapped inside.

[ancestralmask]

Hmm. It kind of feels like the reason Shiroba happened was because Aoba failed to "scrap" while inside Koujaku's mind, so Koujaku's desires bled over. And those tattoos probably enhanced everything. He wanted Aoba to accept all of him, he wanted Aoba to love him. Thus, this "new" Aoba absorbed all of those desires and became this weird twisted version of himself.

Koujaku says that he wanted Aoba to accept the past that Koujaku himself could not accept. 

that worked out well.

EDIT: oh wait looks like Sly was just using pretty words to butter Koujaku up. oh well.

Always gratifying when kanji I learned in class shows up in gay porn. 表裏一体 = two sides of the same coin. "Love and hate are two sides of the same coin."

Originally, Ryuhou took the job to tattoo Koujaku just because he was getting paid. But once he saw Koujaku, he thought, he'd do it even for free. Why? Because of the unripe hatred that seemed close to overflowing out of Koujaku's eyes whenever he looked at his father. If Koujaku could hate so deeply, surely he loved just as deeply. After all, love and hate are two sides of the same coin.

[ancestralmask]

I will never not like this scene. I don't care if it's not real.

(Playing Koujaku's badend now. Goodend was omg so ridiculously sweet.)

[ancestralmask]

jfc koujaku's entire apartment is fucking gorgeous. I want a furo like that in my house.

does being a hair dresser really pay that well?

[ancestralmask]

Well, THAT was absolutely horrifying. 

I think I need something sweet now.

Off to do Koujaku's Good End.

[ancestralmask]

"Aoba-san, why won't you speak?"

idk maybe he's afraid you're gonna cut out his tongue next.

Also can we take a moment to appreciate that Aoba manages to stay in amazing shape despite being malnourished and kept locked up, denied exercise, for months on end? I guess that's the advantage of being a "designer baby."

*screams* no no no no no

"Humans take in information from so many different organs. Take taste, for example. Of course your nose helps you taste things as well, but even blindfolded some people find it harder to discern taste. Your eyes tell your brain 'ah, it's this food!' and then you decide how it'll taste. So, if we were to sever that window to the outside world... you wouldn't be able to receive any unnecessary information. The only thing you need to know about is me, Aoba-san."

[ancestralmask]

"Sorry to keep you waiting. But I can finally take you home."

hahahah oh man Clear that is so un-reassuring like you don't know

Edit oh goddddd why why why does he take Aoba to an operating room i mean I know why but are they actually going to show that scene that i really am dreading oh goddddd

edit 2: "don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of" omg clear you fucking liar
