This is genius! I love this Tumblr convoy, but I love even more how you managed to match each character to each sentence, like wow even the characters gesturing for numbers match the audio!

Made a little crack video of bokupre with random videos I found on the internet so enjoy. Might make another one in the future.

『Dancing☆Starプリキュア』 The Stage3 (x)

[nodokasia]

Dancing star Precure once again strikes with one of the most heartfelt lines I have heard in a while.

[f-liner]

I read a post by this japanese twitter account that made a very interesting point:

while Kouga presents himself as a traditional, very macho kinda guy, Sasana is the complete opposite.

Kouga acts very manly most of the time, sometimes being over the top. Despite this, his Cure form is the only one with long hair and the dance he specializes in is the Kagura dance. This dance is mostly done by japanese priestressess, so women.

On the other hand, Sasana is presented as a very sensual, feminine type of man. His preferred type of dance is the Soul Dance, which like he explained:

This can also be seen as him hoping for everyone to be accepted, because he himself is different than the standard of masculinity. At the same time, this isn't presented in an over the top, stereotypical way.

I really like this writing choice, wether it was intentional or not. Usually the more sensitive, feminine guy is presented in very stereotypical ways in media. Meanwhile the macho dude with jerk personality is presented as desirable, sometimes even romanticizing his toxic behaviour.

See the nice thing about bokupre is the fact that it breaks this mold. Kouga is just a high schooler and his idea of what a man is supposed to be like is clearly swayed by the many pressures society puts on young men.

At the same time, that doesen't mean he is a total jerk with no redeeming qualities. He's still just a kid after all, but the show never tries to excuse his flaws, it just presents them as part of him. And with those it also presents his best attributes.

He clearly cares about his juniors, although he struggles to show it. He also trusts Sasana a lot, never looking down on him or thinking he wouldn't be able to keep up in the fight with Desparade just because he doesen't fit in the traditional "strong man" mold.

These two traits are clearly shown when Kouga tells Pado that they don't need other cures to help them fight since they would just get hurt clearly stating that he and Sasana are enough to fight the bad guys.

It's also interesting to notice how when in Cure form, their roles kinda switch. Kouga is a lot more worried about making sure no one gets hurt, protecting his juniors, even trying to fight the evil dancers alone in order to push Gaku away to safety. He still does it in his own very harsh way, but clearly the safety of the civilians is his main priority.

Sasana also does care about it, but at the same time he showcases a very different personality when Kouga gets hurt. He stops with the theatrics and bubbly personality and becomes an extremely skilled and scary fighter.

He is so strong that he is able to defeat all the evil dancers on his own, even when Kouga, Hayato and Gaku all struggled against them.

I mean just look at his face here, homeboy was about to throw hands.

Other things the twitter creator pointed out was the fact that Sasana is a very feminine name in Japan and also the fact that his surname "Tsukimiya" comes from the word "tsuki" which means moon and which is usually given to female characters as it showcases care and sensibility.

Sorry for the long post, I just really wanted to express my love for the masterful writing of what are usually two character archetypes that I don't really like, because of how stereotypicallu they are usually portrayed.

Let me know if you like these kinds of analysis, so that I might make more in the future. Maybe about the rest of the cast.

In celebration of @grandesteartherquakedreamer 's birthday, I asked them to request any scene they wanted me to post and they chose the one where Kouga and Sasana transform in the second stageplay.

Everyone please congratulate them in the comments!

A3! Translation - Rurikawa Yuki SSR 【Magic That Transcends the Curse】 (1/3)

————

Yuki: ......

Azami: ........

Yuki: This one, and this one too.... they're all dealing with the same kind of thing. This magazine, too.

Azami: Geez.... so this really is the next trend after all.

Yuki: ...Ah. Information about Christmas gift sets has also been released. This magazine is the fastest one to have them out, right?

Azami: For real? Let me see.

Yuki: It's right there.

Director: (Those two are reading fashion magazines really seriously. I see this happen every once in a while, but.... they really are so studious)

Yuki: What is it? It's bothering when you're staring at me like that.

Director: Sorry, sorry. I just thought it would be rude to interrupt you while you were doing serious research.

Yuki: There's no point in staring at me. It's distracting.

Director: Eeeh!? Was I really staring that much?

Azami: Are you interested, Director? I don't mind if you read anything that's out here.

Director: Would that be okay? Okay then, I'll look a little.

Director: (They have a wide range of products for teenagers and older generations)

Director: (I'm sure that they're not just studying these, but also gathering information based on the company's age range and past performances)

Director: But anyways, what's exactly going on here?

Azami: Apparently they won a bunch of gift cards for books at the Postcard Sweepstakes Society

Yuki: And so, we were able to use them to fund our fashion and makeup research.

Yuki: Well, it was a reasonable request, so Sakyo didn't say anything like we expected.

Director: I see.

Director: (I'm sure Sakyo-san gave them the OK because he knows how hard they work)

Azami: With that being said, they still had some gift cards left over, so some of them will be used to cover the expenses of the Shoujo Manga Appreciation Group

Director: (...or so I thought, but maybe Sakyo-san actually only entered the sweepstakes for that reason----)

Director: (Nope, let's stop thinking about that here)

Azami: Now it's just a matter of how to budget for the upcoming autumn releases and winter Christmas gift sets....

Director: Oh, did you buy this event information magazine too? It didn't seem to have much to do with fashion, though....

Yuki: Ah, that's unrelated. The Summer Troupe was talking about going a trip together, so I just bought it as inspiration.

Yuki: I had a little bit of money left on the card, so I bought it as well.

Yuki: If you want to, feel free to read it. I've already looked at it.

Director: Thank you. ....Ah! This event makes me feel nostalgic.

Azami: A Rose Festival? I've heard some things about that.

Yuki: That's the one where I played the prince.

Yuki: ....Mmm, I guess the Rose Festival is happening again.

Director: Oh, it has an official character. Apparently it's a rose god named "Barabara"

Yuki: What a simple name....* moreover, the design is gross.

Director: U....um... it's definetely not cute per se, but it does kind of grow on you....

Yuki: Well, I guess it does have its own personality—

Yuki: ......ah.

--------------------------------

*the character's name is バラバラ. バラ means "rose", so i'm assuming this guy's name is Roserose!!

Not to like Start Something but if you’re presenting yourself as a translator and using MTL to translate brand new content and putting it in the main tags when there are a solid chunk of translators who will almost definitely do it if you give them time is kinda. Man.

[romijuli]

I mean I GUESS good on you for being upfront about it being MTL but like. If you’re gonna keep these for your own archival purposes or whatever - which this person originally said and then deleted for some reason - putting them in the main tags and away from that context is not….great…

A3! Backstage Story Translation - Yuki Rurikawa SSR+: The Photo We Took On Moving Day - Part 1

tysm to fuyugumiyuri on twitter for providing a video of the story!

also proofread by myuntachis!

Yuki: That should be everything.

Izumi: Oh? Are you going somewhere, Yuki-kun?

Yuki: I’ve got too many things, so I was thinking of bringing some to my parents' house.

Izumi: I see. I suppose there isn’t much storage in a double room… Does that mean you’ll be staying at your parents’ today?

Yuki: No, I’ll just drop off my things. I’ve got plans after that.

Izumi: Ah, I’ll prepare dinner for you too, then.

Yuki: Thanks.

Izumi: Still, this is a lot of luggage. Will you be okay? I can take you to the station, if you want.

Yuki: I’ll be fine, they’re not as heavy as they look. Besides, if I needed help carrying something, I would’ve asked Tasuku or Misumi from the get-go.

Izumi: Good point… You’d have asked if you needed the help.

Yuki: Exactly. Alright, I’ll be going now.

Izumi: Okay, stay safe. See you later!

-

Yuki’s mother: I know you said you have something to do after this, but do you have time to sit down and relax for a bit?

Yuki: Yeah, a little.

Yuki: Oh, I brought some things from the dorm. Can I leave them in the Japanese-style room?

Yuki: Turns out I can’t fit anything else in the closet in my room.

Yuki’s mother: I think they’ll fit just fine if we tidy up.

Yuki: I’ll go do that, then.

Yuki’s mother: I’ll prepare some snacks in the meantime.

Yuki: Okay, thanks.

-

Yuki: (I’m gonna have to take everything out of here if I want to clean it up.)

Yuki: There we go…

Yuki: (I think something fell just now… Oh, it’s a photo.)

Yuki: Huh, is that me…?

Yuki: (Is that boy next to me with his head down… Taichi? When was this taken?)

Yuki: …

Yuki: (… Oh, I remember now. It’s a photo from the day we moved out.)

Yuki: (Shorty— Taichi and I… used to play together a lot back then. But then we had to move.)

[Flashback starts]

Yuki: I’m gonna go play with Shorty.

Yuki’s mother: Geez, didn't we say it's Taichi-kun and not Shorty?

Yuki’s mother: It’s snowing out, so be careful not to slip and fall.

Yuki: The park is close, we’ll be okay!

Yuki’s mother: Ah, right. I told you yesterday too, but make sure to tell Taichi-kun you’ll be moving.

Yuki: Okay, I will! Bye!
