baby sei, natsusa and ibuki
natsusa yuzuki was a really fun and well written character and the whole number24 anime was hella fun
what i love about the anime is that it didnt end with natsusa suddenly being able to play or even letting him play it at all. it also didnt give natsu that much control over the club which was refreshing for a change cuz you would expect that the writers would do so
natsusa was also a character that isnt afraid to be a bitch. he's the embodiment of "it's my way or the highway" and you dont get to see this much in most shows
the way they approached the emotional aspect of the show was also well done. they didnt let it control the whole plot but also gave importance to it in the story. in terms of how they got the character to handle it, it was a satisfying conclusion when natsusa accepted the kid that was hurt inside of him but continued to push on and fight albeit in a different way
what i dont like about the story however is that IT'S TOO SHORT AND NEEDS 3 MORE SEASONS. I DEMAND 3 MORE SEASONS OF NATSUSA YUZUKI BEING A BAD BITCH
but seriously they really need a new season for number24 like i want to know how their nationals would go and how the characters are getting more explored
really hope that the animators and producers and director wokld consider picking up this anime for a continuation, even just for a satisfying conclusion for the show
It is one of my bad habits that I feel absurdly self-conscious when doing something perfectly acceptable.
Dazai Osamu, Tsugaru
Anxiety was trapped in the depths of my heart, like a formation of black clouds I could not break free of. By living this way, what will my fortune be? There is nothing. Am I simply a sickly man? I was staggered by these thoughts. What should I do? I had no direction, nothing. I though that this reckless life of mine was only a nuisance to others and devoid of meaning. This is quite hard to bear. A talented guy like you probably doesn’t understand, but no thought in the world is worse than the realization that, ‘My life is a nuisance to others. I am useless.’
Dazai Osamu, Pandora’s Box
…if you want to be happy, you can do nothing better than be an ordinary man.
Akutagawa Ryūnosuke, “Heichu, the Amorous Genius” from Japanese Short Stories by Akutagawa Ryūnosuke
Although I had a mortal dread of human beings I seemed quite unable to renounce their society. I managed to maintain on the surface a smile which never deserted my lips; this was the accommodation I offered to others, a most precarious achievement performed by me only at the cost of excruciating efforts within.

People’s minds, like their faces, are different. There is no one person who is the same as another. One person will have a round face, another along one. Similarly, their minds are different, one from another, from birth. Some are short in temper, some are patient, some are quiet, some active and noisy. And so, when you watch others act, you must not lose your temper and show that you are angry because you don’t like the way they act. You should forgive and bear as much as you can and make friends.
Fukuzawa Yukichi, “Daily Lessons” from Fukuzawa Yukichi on Education
They said that it takes one to know one. The reason I can point out a person's evil nature is because I have that same evil nature within me.
Dazai Osamu, A New Hamlet
The Beggar Student by Dazai Osamu
"I could feel the hands of fate upon me. I'd been caught. In his heart of hearts, the student is a thirty-two-year-old drunken poet."
"Not even the wisest reader knows the anguish of the writer who has sent a truly awful piece of writing to a magazine in order to survive. Here goes nothing, I told myself, pushing that heavy envelope into the mailbox. It hit the bottom with a thunk. And that was that. Another crummy story. On the surface, it pretends to be a mirror to my soul, although I know as well as anyone the slimy worms of compromise are wriggling in the muck at the bottom. It's a work in which the work is far from done. ... It makes me so ashamed I want to scream and run around in circles. I promise you, it's terrible. A lousy piece of trash. I have no right to call myself a writer. Such is my ignorance. No insights to impart. No illuminating views."
"I wish I could just cut my belly open and let all of the words come spilling out. No matter if it's gibberish, as long as it's my flesh and blood doing the talking."
There is no need to describe it in detail here, but it was about this time that my feeling for her suddenly changed to one of love and the bond between us deepened. The most important decision of my life lay before me. It was a time of real crisis. Some perhaps may wonder and criticize my behavior, but my affection for Elise had been strong ever since our first meeting, and now I could read in her expression sympathy for my misfortune and sadness at the prospect of parting. The way she stood there, a picture of loveliness, her hair hanging loose - I was distraught by so much suffering and powerless in the face of such enchantment.
Mori Ōgai, “The Dancing Girl”
I am really at a loss as to where to begin, for the facts which I am setting forth are all so grotesquely out of the ordinary. Frankly, words fail me, for human words seem utterly inadequate to sketch all the details.
Edogawa Ranpo, “The Human Chair” from Japanese Tales of Mystery and Imagination
Everyone is crowding in on me from all sides, trying to make me a real madman.
Dazai Osamu, A New Hamlet
I am afraid because I can so clearly foresee my own life rotting away of itself, like a leaf that rots without falling, while I pursue my round of existence from day to day.
Dazai Osamu, The Setting Sun
Happy Birthday Yosano Akiko-sensei!
To celebrate Yosano Akiko’s birthday here are her top three quotes from my blog:
Quote #3:
In return for all the sins and crimes of men, the gods created me with glistening long black hair and pale, inviting skin.
- Yosano Akiko, River of Stars: Selected Poems of Yosano Akiko
I felt so grateful, so happy for that gentle smile that I averted my face and wept. I was completely shattered and smothered by that one gentle smile.
