Oh yeah, I went ahead and made a Pixiv account like I mentioned before. It's just for YST and YSST stuff, and I don't know how often I'll upload, but it's there to store my art. If you have any characters to suggest I try drawing, you can send me a message on this blog. I might be able to use them as inspiration later. Feel free to check out my Pixiv here.
Watched Episode 13. I'm keeping true to my word 4 months ago; I will not share my opinions on the 2nd cour. Alright, time to watch Messi and cheer on Egypt.
Adding to my last post, Tsukasa Kotobuki sounds really dejected. The Grok translation isn't completely accurate. He's actually saying that he wasn't allowed to be involved in the main production/story at all, and only got to draw some illustrations for the ED. Bro the way he's phrasing it, he's straight up throwing shade now. As if the YSST team shut him out in some way. Man I feel really bad for Kotobuki-san since he was the only staff member who consistently promoted this anime even before it premiered.
NO FUCKING WAY 😭😭😭
Yeah he definitely has beef with them somehow. Tsukasa Kotobuki is the only staff member I've seen so far who is this blatant with his jabs. He's always hinting at some kind dissatisfaction with the anime and it's understandable. Him making tweets like this in between promoting YSST Cour 2 is just.....Like, not him implying GiTS would wreck the absolute shit out of his show if they both aired a the same time. I'm crying 😭😭😭
Btw, "niche world" should be "niche field/industry" i.e. the arts. And it's true that if creators aren't on the same wavelength, the results will be bad.
Extra bummed after Portugal vs Spain today. Not just because of the outcome, but because of Ronaldo's exit. I won't stop thinking about it for a few days like the rest of the world, I'm sure. Now this means I'll be very unhappy if Episode 13 isn't at least halfway decent since I'm not in the mood. Sunrise better deliver.
The Yoroi Shin Den Samurai Troopers OST will be released after the first episode of Cour 2 drops. This volume contains only 5 tracks, which is disappointing. Honestly, for a 24 episode anime, they should just wait to release the entire OST compilation in one go. But whatever. The songs will be available for streaming on Youtube, Spotify, and Apple Music. The titles of the tracks are:
"Samurai Troopers main theme"
"Gai"
"Ramaga"
"Battle Part 1"
"Samurai Troopers main theme - slow ver."
Speak of the devil, a new interview with director Yoichi Fujita just dropped. In it, he basically talks about how he adapted Shogo Muto's script into animation and what he thought about the original YST when he was a child. I have thoughts about this interview since it reveals a few glaring issues the series has had from the very beginning. I won't talk about it too much as I want to reserve my full judgement of Yoichi Fujita and Shogo Muto's work until I see more of the 2nd cour. But my main takeaways regarding the planning of this anime and why it failed in its attempt to revive the IP are this:
1. Both were inexperienced at what they were hired to do. Fujita says in the interview that he has never been in charge of or truly worked on a hot-blooded shonen anime with a coming-of-age story before (he only did a few storyboards for Bleach so that doesn't count). Muto, on the other hand, had never written for an anime so he wrote the script as if YSST was supposed to be a live action.
2. Fujita wanted to make YSST more of a comedy and use that as its unique selling point. He was the director of Osomatsu-san and Gintama, two shows that were comedies first and foremost. This is how we got the tonal inconsistencies in YSST where instead of incorporating comedic elements into the situations (like dark comedies often do), he has one scene be serious, and then the very next be slapstick humor.
3. Fujita prioritized the coolness factor over actual style and substance. He said that, as a child, he only thought about the toys and how cool the armors looked. This isn't a bad thing in and of itself, however, he probably didn't realize that this isn't the 80s anymore. Simply showing a character standing there and looking nice isn't going to attract viewers since the target audience of YSST is old fans who have now grown up and are no longer impressed by the same things they were as kids, AND young new fans who are used to better quality storytelling in this day and age.
So those are just a summary of my opinions after reading the interview. I still want to see what Cour 2 brings us and if the anime can be redeemed. I hope it can somewhat. If not, I pray that it won't be a total failure and we can still get new anime/manga with the YSST characters as it would be a total waste to throw them back into the vault after all this promotion.
Episode 13 airs the same day/night as Portugal vs Spain. I'm not gonna be able to gather my thoughts after watching since I'll be thinking about the match instead. Probably gonna have to rewatch the next day lol.
Whoops, I mixed up the days. The match is 19 hours before the episode airs. At least I can watch both in peace now.
Sorry, but I really love this Patalliro! crossover fanart. After seeing so many fanarts of Aphrodite from Saint Seiya (my fav character) as Mariach, I finally get to see Nezu in the same role. While Aphrodite's personality and fashion sense are similar to Mariach's, Nezu is the opposite. I think he'd prefer dressing more conservatively even while crossdressing, so the way Nami (fanartist) portrayed him here makes it cuter. Source of the art is @nami840729
yeah, oops seem i'd talked of it before but had gotten a little more insight since from the person humiliated, it is that same incident and guess this is that anon who was a bystander to the weirdness. small-ass fandom. wiki mods say names in eastern order, proper grammar and translations, etc. when the person edited pages to reflect that, one of the wiki people did an @everyone blast in a discord server to call her out for "altering translations". as you say, priorities are needed. desperately.
Yeesh. I hope the person bullied didn't take it too hard; it sounds like she followed the rules as best as she could. Something like "Hi, we would like to suggest you do this....." would've been better rather than publicly putting her on blast. And rearranging name order isn't altering translations; there's no translating words in one language to another in this case. I used to think small fandoms were better, but now I'm not so sure *sigh*
On another note, there seems to be quite a few of us that share similar frustrations over fandom-related stuff here. If you would like to talk about it, you can DM me (if you are also on Tumblr or Reddit). You can also inbox me your username if you want.
hoo boy, know someone who got in trouble even for following that wiki's supposed rules and you're not the first person to question the workings there? mods say all names must be in eastern order only, but nasty is hafu and always put in western order. then they put the staff names in western order (the person who tried editing them to eastern to follow that was publicly humiliated over it). the ten braves don't deserve this tomfoolery to poison things.
I remember hearing about that incident from an anon. Is this the same one? I didn't even know fan wikis had pre-determined rules; learn something new everyday. Sounds like the people in charge of the site can't make their minds up about how they should display information. They're also hypocrites if they bullied someone for following their own rules jfc. I mean, what's the reason for publicly humiliating an editor who's trying to properly organize pages? Nobody will want to help work on the articles next time.
I'm a big fan of the Braves, so I'll have to apologize for being a bit hawkish about their wiki articles. But yeah, I do wish they'd focus on the misinformation on the Brave's pages instead of fussing over such trivial matters like small corrections.
Today's the 6th of July in Japan. Happy Birthday to Ryusei! Now that you're back, try not to die again, ok?
I don't remember Kamanosuke using poison. I think the only time its brought up is when Yamato accused the Braves of poisoning Ryusei, only for Kamanosuke to go "What poison?"
Why are the Nyudo bros' names in a different order compared to the other characters? The others follow the original Japanese, while these 2 have their names rearranged. And who said Isa's quirks were considered "bad"? The other characters don't even react to Isa's speech patterns at all.
Again, we know nothing about the First Name Group's origins at this point. Isa and Seikai Nyudo's designs were based on warrior monks, but that doesn't necessary mean they actually are warrior monks. I understand that we're all thirsting for canon info about the YSST characters, but we shouldn't simply embellish things and encourage misinformation to spread. Especially on a site that's supposed to help fans and non-fans alike with info pertaining to the actual show and extra material. It would be better to add those paragraphs to a "Fan theory" section instead while the 2nd cour slowly airs.
Episode 13 airs the same day/night as Portugal vs Spain. I'm not gonna be able to gather my thoughts after watching since I'll be thinking about the match instead. Probably gonna have to rewatch the next day lol.
Yeah I get you on that about the -san collab. Well, you're probably in good hands since a lot of YST fans I'm seeing on SNS are calling foul at Bandai Namco for that wallpaper. Hopefully if there are any more collaborations, they're with something better but we only have this cour left so who knows.
Omg really? I haven't checked out other people's reactions since I just didn't want to look at it lmao. Do they hate Osomatsu-san? Or was it because that particular wallpaper looked cringe? I hope YSST fans have the same response too; we need better collabs. Things that can SELL. I think Bandai might continue to release merch after this cour is done just to keep the IP going a bit more, so another collab could be possible. I'm crossing my fingers for spin-offs or something down the line; ones that will have good writers and passionate creators involved. You don't revive an IP just to let it flop without even trying to garner a sizable audience. If I were a shareholder I would be questioning the company's short-sightedness and uneducated decision to make Osomatsu-san YSST's first collab.
As mentioned previously, there will be a 2 volume manga adaptation of the first Cour coming out on 15th September 2026. Today, the cover art for Vol 1 has been revealed and it's an image of all 5 of the troopers in armor. Pre-orders are now open at the publisher Gakken's online shop, with one volume costing ¥1,760. There should be other bookstores listing the manga too, so if you're interested, just keep your eyes peeled. As for me, I'm still debating on whether to pre-order or just wait for the release; someone might even sell it second-hand later so I'm not in a rush.
Tsukasa Kotobuki (villain character designer) commented on a promotional recap video. I can't tell if he's subtly throwing shade here or not lol. It's like they were all aware of how the first cour would turn out, but decided to greenlight it anyway. I'd really like to know if there was any friction or creative differences among the creators in the making of YSST.
