Kami why you tie your coat like that ヽ(ಠ_ಠ)ノ

[jgfiles]

Because he’s mimicking Humphrey Bogart playing trench coat-wearing characters. ^_-

I still don’t know how to properly respond to this sort of messages so I apologize if I do it here…

miuria said: I cannot stretch this enough but you’re amazing for all the extensive research and in-depth analysis as well as meta you share :’D

*blushes* Thank you so much! I’m really happy there’s people interested in them!

[thesadmilk-deactivated20190404]

Oh thank you!!! Always insightful!!! But I’ve always hated that about these coat because the look awesome but one uses the damn buckle which doesn’t change the cool factor but you’ve made me realize that the fact that I’m military might being effecting my opinion and oh god I’m Sakuma

[jgfiles]

^____^ and LOL, now you’re giving me headcanon ideas of Sakuma having to wear a trench coat, using the buckle, getting disapproving gazes from the others and not knowing what’s going on until Odagiri warns him in a whispering voice that, if he wear it like that, he’ll be fined because it gives away he’s an Army guy, while Miyoshi starts rambling about fashion and how Sakuma doesn’t get it.

At this Sakuma rolls his eyes and thinks now he can’t even wear trench coats the proper way but humours the others.

Poor Sakuma…

Im scrolling down the blog (good job btw! Keep it up~) and i saw the kimono tapestry set and paused to look at sakuma. Then yuuki caught my eyes. I wondered what was it about him that made me pause - and then i realized yuuki and sakuma share colors. Yuuki’s hada juban(i think it’s called?) and sakuma’s haori are white; their yukatas are grey (different shade tho); sakuma’s hada juban and yuuki’s haori are dark. Maybe im being silly but i thought it was interesting

*blush* thank you for liking my blog and also for writing me about the kimono!

It always makes me happy when I get a message that gives me the chance to talk about Joker Game.

Yes, you’re raising an interesting point, in a way those two share colours and, what’s more, according to some webs the colour of their Kimono should be the one of the warrior class, which is a hint to how those two are the ones who’re officially acknowledged as soldiers.

The reverse colours can also look like as to hint how they represent reverse sides, Sakuma with his spirit of a perfect soldier while Yuuki, on the other side, is a perfect spy.

If I’ve to be sincere though, I fear the colour is chosen due to their colour schemes, Sakuma’s suit was, after all a greyish blue, while Yuuki was a grey one but it’s interesting to think at their clothes as chosen to reveal something about them.

Same goes for how they wear Haori, which in the past (well, the past prior to Joker Game) belonged only to the warrior and upper class.

LOL, I so wish we were allowed to know more about their past but sadly I fear this will never happen… -_-

Still thank you for your message!

I love to talk about Joker Game and its characters!

Re-watching Joker Game: OAV 1 & 2 Black cat Yoru’s adventure

Well, in the past year I proposed a re-watching, and in this year I re-proposed a re-watching hoping someone else will join… but, truth to be told, there’s something that was bothering me in the past re-watching and it’s that the OAVs weren’t included. So, even though it doesn’t count, I’m going to re-watch them now (yeah, the both of them as they’re so short it’ll feel wrong to watch just one).

Also, hopefully there’s someone out there that read all this stuff… as I know it’s pretty long… shame on me for analyzing things too in deep…

Mind you, what follows are my ramblings over the OAV, comprehensive of my impression on how the frames were structured and so on with some occasional reference to the other Joker Game media.

Also, for personal comfort, I’ll use the characters’ names even if the anime hasn’t stated them yet. In short, as this is a re-watching and not a first watching, you’ll also get a telling that’s mixed with my knowledge of the future. Consider yourself warned.

And now, let’s start.

My Joker Game Calendar arrived some days ago… but I had no idea how to scan it as the goddamn thing is lovely but HUGE.

In the end I managed to do it and so here I am, sharing the photos of those lovely boys for whoever can’t get it.

Mind you, me sharing photo is no excuse for not buying it if you can… quite the contrary, it’s meant to show you it’s definitely worth being bought. Support Joker Game, it deserves it!

Oh and I added a scan of the picture on Miyoshi’s paper bag because who wouldn’t want it?

New staff of I.G.store for the store 2nd anniversary.

From top to bottom: I-san, G-san, and S-san.

Joker Game animation artist drew them so they are look so much like the love child of Odagiri, Kaminaga and Jitsui. 😂

On second thought, G-san Mäý look like kaminaga but the hair style, hair’s and eyes’s colour are the mix of Miyoshi and Sakuma 😂

Even Shirow Miwa( joker game character designer) commented that now Miyoshi is the store boss. https://twitter.com/zi38/status/985744080104669187?s=21

Nitou Subaru (joker game manga artist is having fun with new staff) https://twitter.com/nitou_subaru/status/985807350350016512?s=21

I really screamed “Joker Game” when I saw them even though apart from G-san who resembles Kaminaga, the other two were clearly not Joker Game characters… but well, i guess I live in hope of more Joker Game episodes…

Thank you for the info it’s greatly apprecciated!

My desk atm. It's just a clutter of things and fandoms.

Because of Joker Game I’ve started collecting old cigarette packs from Japan and started framing them.

I managed to get my hands on an old Golden Bat label and put it side by side with the Joker Game parody version, Golden Kite cigarettes.

As well as this, also started on sweet a like Sakuma Drops, Bisco and Morinaga Caramels

(Morinaga I misread as “Kaminaga Caramels”, which would have also been one fun parody)

The Strand Arcade, Sydney. I always feel as thought I’m thrown back into the past when I’m here.

It's very Joker Game- strolling through it invokes so many feelings

From the Joker Game Storyboard books: the little ladies of Joker Game! Also featuring the cute boy from Shanghai! They featured them at the end of each episodes storyboard set, which is a very adorable touch to cut through the seriousness of the seires
