Kind of genuinely fascinated by how "oh Rei didnt kill herself, she fell" functions as this release valve for tension in the story where several characters can be like "oh well it makes me feel better that it wasnt a suicide!!" and like. Should it make you feel better???
She still had a horrible life and then died so young... but this way her tormentors get to feel less guilty. And you dont have to think through what it meant that her life was so fucking horrible.
Kind of interesting what this otherwise super heightened crazy melodrama turns away from... kind of weird anime where its really hard for me to pinpoint what its like, doing on purpose. Not that I need it to be doing stuff on purpose to enjoy my reading but like. I *would* like to know wtf they were thinking.
i cannot find my original weeb ranking post, and recent discoveries have been occupying my brain so i need to dump them in this post
current tier rankings as of jun 2025 (subject to change as i update this post)
S tier (certified weebs)
megan thee stallion - this woman is a weeb (certified, multiplatinum). 110% would risk catching covid and being a fire hazard if she wanted to take me on an anicon date
nick r (bad omens) - dude is a fucking weeb (affectionate) and that crunchyroll interview is enough proof (also not my weeb ass watching that entire interview)
matt dierkes ([someone pls tell me the name of the band that he's a drummer in]) - also a confirmed weeb, why else would you wear a kakashi tee on main
niko (blind channel) - i don't really go here but i have seen enough of this blorbo-in-law to know that this man is a weeb
within destruction - currently lumping them into a group because i don't stalk their individual socials enough but pls see: 1) anime merch 2) more anime merch 3) technically not full weeb but still kinda weeb if y'all seen their drummer's back piece 4) vocalist is def a weeb on main 5) did i mention anime merch 6) also touring TWICE with the band that did the attack on titan themes was also a choice 7) nvm, they have an anime song now [WEEBS]
alpha wolf - specifically lochie and sabian because my weeb radar is (unfortunately) stronger than my gaydar but that 2024 album most certainly contains Certified Weeb (TM) references in some song titles why tf do i know all this weeb shit when i don't watch anime. also the fact that they commissioned someone to make alpha waifu merch and greenlighted it. alpha wolf animu body pillows when
nicko (knocked loose) - mans has a crunchyroll interview and decided to let the world know that he watched food wars (*for the record, i have not watched food wars but there was an incident at work and my other weeb coworkers "explained" it to me). also dude was cheezing in that CR office tour photo
ethan (the plot in you) - another naruto tattoo-ee, but also has *multiple* anime related tattoos. bonus point for not ranking AOT or TG as his fave
moodring - the fact that they all like diru = GREEN FLAG
S(minus) tier (confirmed weebs but kinda in-between tiers due to existing evidence and/or lack of data)
lucas (holding absence) - dude has a ghibli tattoo and also looked way too happy to be at the crunchroll office. also that CR interview with lochie from alpha wolf
placeholder here for the two (+?) other CR interviews i found but are bands/members that aren't really on my radar
noah (bad omens) - demoted coz he wasn't caught up with aot but he did get the crunchyroll interview and also has that itachi tattoo
courtney laplante (spiritbox) - here by default coz crunchyroll interview
will ramos (lorna shore) - prefers manga over comic art style? WEEB CONFIRMED (didn't show us any anime tattoos but he has his own crunchyroll interview)
see you space cowboy - majority of this band are weebs, pls see 2024 summer tour vlogs (cba to explain right now)
A tier (someone is definitely a weeb)
bmth - i feel like someone has some degree of weeb influence but isn't heavy handed in it (cough oli and his animu drop dead shirts cough) but also all the jp game references and also HELLO MR. KOJIMA?????. update 1) nex gen happened
fame on fire - i don't go here but one does not casually wear a inuyasha shirt (i think it was their vocalist)
invent animate - (need to do more research but apparently they are confirmed weebs)
---also pending further research: erra + magnolia park (i think their vocalist had some MHA shirt)
corpse - the "pussy bald like saitama" line lives rent free in my head
zeruel - found them on a random playlist, attempted to look up the band and instead got a barrage of NGE sites
omerta - p sure at least 2 of them are weebs
B tier [moving into "not (heavily) weeb on main" / "casual anime enjoyer/probably not a true weeb" territory]
stand atlantic - idk who is a weeb in this band but i'm pretty sure they had a naruto inspired tee at their merch table back before the pandemmy (factoring out their bassist since i don't think he was an official member at that point)
vinny (miw) - tbh idk enough about his weeb tendencies but he did mention that he likes attack on titan
jolly from bad omens - i don't have solid evidence except that one interview where he got mentioned in passing and i also get euro vkei copy band vibes from his earlier photos
knocked loose (excluding nicko) - specifically that one picture of bryan with piccolo at the crunchyroll office
turnstile - SOMEONE PUT AJIKAN ON THAT ONE SPOTIFY PLAYLIST but that's all i have for now
-
basically anyone on this list has already set off my weeb radar to some extent (using the term weeb realllllly loosely in some cases)
