1 Ash Lynx & Shorter Wong (Banana Fish--Banana Fish will hurt you.)
2 Sasuke Uchiha (Naruto)
3 Zuko (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
4 Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist--My favorite anime. I recommend 2003 until you lose Maes, then switching to Brotherhood.)
5 Kvothe (The Name of the Wind--the most beautiful writing I have ever seen, and a love song to music.)
6 Kaul Hilo (Jade City--The audiobooks are masterful.)
"Let's be brothers again in our next life."
6.5 Wei Wuxian & Jiang Wanyin (Mo Dao Zu Shi / Chen Qing Ling)

6.75 Andy (The Old Guard)
7 Izaya Orihara (Durarara!!)
8.5 Mizu (Blue Eye Samurai)
9 Roronoa Zoro (One Piece--My favorite thing about Zoro is how he problem solves in the middle of a fight. He won't accept being outclassed. If he needs to level up, he does it right then and there.)

I bring to you the bane of my existence, a life lesson in learning to just say "fuck it that'll do"
Personal grievances aside, i love banana fish (and especially shorash) so very dearly and i cannot express my excitement for the dub, i have been waiting for this for 6 years up until now
ALSO this is very vaguely a redraw of this drawing i did from.. 2024????? I think????
Here’s a new art of Shorter drawn by Banana Fish (supervising) anime director Ayumi Yamada from February✨ She uses those artworks like diary entries and writes about her daily life.
Translation:
I can hear the footsteps of pollen...
February is really short, isn't it...
Right now, I'm hooked on dried sweet potatoes.
If you put a little butter on them and toast them a little, they're insanely delicious...
If you put butter on them, they're no longer a healthy snack, but I can't help but put butter on them...
I can't help it...

I saw a post the other day that said "the one thing Jiang Fengmian did right was getting rid of Jiang Cheng's dogs" and I saw A LOT of people agreeing with that sentiment and it actually made me so sad.
Because yes, absolutely I believe JFM had a duty to the child that he brought into his home and needed to keep those dogs away from WWX cause he had hardcore trauma.
JFM was ALSO a Sect Leader of an incredibly large and prominent sect and he had so many options.
- keep the (already well trained) dogs in one specific section of Lotus Pier that WWX wouldn't have to enter
- find a disciple to adopt the dogs so JC could visit
- find literally anyone in Yunmeng to take the dogs so JC could visit
- have a freaking conversation with his son about sending the dogs away instead of just vanishing them in secret
But no. He just gets rid of the dogs without a second thought for Jiang Cheng. Add in to the equation that Jiang Cheng almost definitely got those dogs from either JFM (who never really showed him affection) or YZY, and it hurts so much.
When people share that take, it tells me they either 1) simply hate JC (who was like 10 when he lost his dogs) or 2) they've never had a pet and don't understand how deeply a pet owner cares about their pets.
I literally loved my dog to the ends of the hells the second I brought him home and people claiming that JC losing his dogs can't be traumatizing cause WWX's trauma was worse lack the skills to empathize for two people at once in a tough situation
