Type "PlatinumPaz" on thisisnotawebsitedotcom to read how this image nearly became a reality. There is also a hidden cipher after the end of the story which when translated reads "STAY AWAY FROM HER BILL, SHE IS UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE LUMBER-FOLK!"

Just remembered this little piece of comedic genius after reading this line in the "Book of Bill":

I can't help but feel that Alex Hirsch did in fact come across @moringmark's work at some point as a lot of what is written in the "Book of Bill" does address some of the points he made through the years.

I really hope we get to see some more Gravity Falls fan-comics in the future.

I am a major Discworld Series fan.

[thisisutl]

What's your favorite Naruto story arc (manga or anime)?

I especially liked the "Konoha Hiden" arc in the anime (episodes 494-500), mainly because I was a big fan of the book and the way it focused on the secondary characters, (one of the series greatest strengths IMHO).

It was also a really good adaptation, greatly expanding on the source material, and adding some really nice gags and character moments.

And the final NaruHina wedding scene was just pure perfection.

It was the perfect way to end the original series and it will always have a special place in my heart.

considering in the very first game you cross examine a bird and there appears to only be 2 judges total for your entire legal system i should HOPE that there isnt a real legal system out there like the one in ace attorney

[thisisutl]

Actually, the legal system in Ace Attorney is a not-so-subtle parody of the actual Japanese legal system, where you are considered "guilty until proven innocent" and the onus is on accused to prove his innocence rather than the other way around. Having been falsely accused and enduring a kangaroo court once as a child , Shu Takumi knew this system was dangerous and part of the reason he created the Ace Attorney series was to show that such a system inevitably resulted in false convictions of innocent people.

The Escapist had a very interesting article on the subject. As it turns out, Japan has a 99% conviction-rate and a lot of the things that occur in the game, such as prosecutors being actively involved in the police investigations are things that really happen there.

Don't get arrested in Japan is all I am saying.

The real dog that inspired Ghost Trick's "Missile".

As many people on Tumblr have already pointed out, Ghost Trick is a game that is best experienced going in fully-blind. It offers amazing puzzle-based gameplay, a charming cast of characters and a unique story with plenty of twists and turns that will leave you both stunned and fulfilled by the end. My one true regret with the game is that I can't experience it for the first time again.

So, in trying to hype up the game for its release on Steam, Switch, Playstation and XBox, I decided to go for a novel approach: Instead of gushing about the game and potentially spoiling it for you, I will instead offer some facts about the real-life dog that inspired one of the game's most memorable characters. Knowing those facts won't spoil the game for you and will in fact make you appreciate its story a whole lot more, so feel free to reblog away, adding any facts that I might have missed about the game's Charismatic Cheerful Capable Caring Canine.

You know… This adorable little guy: 

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Missile Takumi!

Missile was a pomeranian Puppy adopted by Shu Takumi on 2007. He was named after a dog appearing in Gyakuten Saiban 1 (aka Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney 1). The dog in the original game was a throwaway gag, not essential in the overall game’s story. The real-life  little pomeranian however proved to be an essential part of Shu Takumi’s life.

(More facts after the break)

Missile was Shu Takumi’s best friend. The little doggie was always there for him, always available to lift his spirits with a cheerful bark when he was feeling down and always offering a friendly paw even in the gloomiest of circumstances. Missile was a truly loyal friend, offering unconditional love and friendship, helping Shu Takumi get over even the most difficult of times.

(Source)

So when time came to make Ghost Trick, a game about ghosts, regrets, mystery, loyalty, friendship and ultimate redemption, it was perfectly natural for Shu Takumi to give his best little friend a part in the story.

The game’s developers didn’t initially want to put Missile in the game. They didn’t have a problem with putting a dog as a character, they had a problem with the fact that the dog was a Pomeranian and they would have problems animating his fur in-game. Shu Takumi however insisted and eventually, after meeting the little doggie and falling under its charm, the developers relented into putting him in the game in all his Pomeranian glory.

Not only did they put him in the game, in fact, they went above and beyond in capturing his charm perfectly. They studied his moves and mannerisms, in order to get his movements down pat.

(Image from lparchive)

Missile’s iconic in-game bark was actually a recording of sound-designer’s Nobuyuki Shimizu Labrador Retriever who was coincidentally also named Missile! Shu Takumi wanted to record his own Missile, but Shimizu-san also wanted to put a part of his own dog in the game and Takumi eventually relented.

So, yeah, Missile in the game was voiced by Missile. Just not THE Missile.

In order to make up for not recording his own dog for the game Shu Takumi made a “character song” for Ghost Trick’s Missile:. 

Yes, those barks you hear in the song are recordings of THE Missile, no substitutes this time! This is how the little Pomeranian used to bark!

The song was made to celebrate Ghost Trick’s 3rd year release anniversary and even though the song talks about Ghost Trick’s Missile, a lot of the behaviors mentioned in the lyrics (such as Missile’s tendency to climb on the sofa and then needing help to get back down) are things that Takumi’s pomeranian friend used to do.

The song was later remade by CAP-JAMS and included in the soundtrack of the 2023 remaster of the game.

And, yes, the original Missile’s barks are still there.

If it’s not perfectly clear, Shu Takumi really wanted to tell everyone how awesome his little dog was. He made the little dog an essential part of Ghost Trick and stealthily  made the world, at least that small part of it that played Ghost Trick, fall in love with him.

Ghost Trick was released under critical acclaim, even receiving a nomination for Gamespot’s Best 2011 Puzzle Game, but the fact that it was released near the end of the DS’s lifespan and a lackluster advertising campaign made it 2011’s “Best Game You’ve Never Played”.

The game, however, slowly gained a cult following and within that following, the story of Missile resonated with everyone and became one of its standout points. He might not have been the player-character but he was definitely the show-stealer.

(To tell any more would be going into spoiler territory, but seriously go buy and play Ghost Trick any way you can. It really deserves a bigger audience).

So beloved was the little dog in fact that when Ace Attorney was eventually adapted into an anime, the animators couldn’t resist putting him into episodes 13 and 30 of the first and second season respectively. In fact, in the anime Missile was indirectly responsible for the “class trial” incident that shaped Naruhodo/Wright’s life.

Before you ask, no, Missile was not voicing himself this time (something about working with animals and children). He was voiced by Tomokazu Seki in the Japanese version and by Kyle Hebert in the English dub. Still a nice tribute to Takumi’s little doggie.

One final Missile fact that I can’t find a proper segway for is that Missile also got along surprisingly well with Wagahai and Sankichii, the cats that later also entered the Takumi household, though, the way Takumi tells this, it was the cats that called the shots more often than not. 

Missile passed away on the 10th of November 2018. The way Shu Takumi puts it, the valiant little doggie waited for him to return from the US, to spend some final time with him before passing on. We don’t know the exact details just that it was sudden and unexpected.

Missile is no longer with us, but his memory lives on. He will always be remembered by Shu Takumi as the friend that always was by his side… and always will be with him.

…and he will always be remembered by the gaming community as the little Pomeranian that stole everybody’s hearts and made Ghost Trick a truly memorable experience.

MISSAIRU TONDEKE!

Hello, I don't know if you're still active on here, but I've been perusing the internet for more translated naruhina doujins and came across your blog. I'd really love to see more of minamo's work (horny horny panic!)! I just think that the preview was absolutely hilarious, and I'd love to see more :)

I uploaded in on Mangadex:

Naruto - Horny Horny Panic (Doujinshi) - MangaDex

Naruto is starting to get some strange urges whenever he is around Hinata. He can't make heads or tails of it, so he asks Team Eight for det

Hi, I tried to access the private blog but it doesn't seem to work anymore? I used a browser to open it but it still didn't redirect to the page, like it's down or something.

The private blog is https://thisisstillutl.tumblr.com

Tried it today, just in case. Works fine.

[thisisutl]

Hello! Me again. Sorry to bother you, but I was wondering if you maybe had the translation for this?

Or any content that might have them in school? Thanks!

I don't even have the doujin, so no, sorry.

[thisisutl]

Hi ! Is it possible to get the password of your private blog please ? 😄

Check your inbox for the password. Other than that use a browser to access https://thisisstillutl.tumblr.com , since to app doesn’t allow access to private blogs for some reason.

And make sure you tick on the “I am not a robot” button. If you happen to identify as a robot (hey, this is tumblr after all), just grin and bear it.

[thisisutl]

Hello! Is it still possible to get into the private blog? 🥺

It's still up and you can still get in. But you will need to use your browser (Safari, Chrome, Firefox, etc) to access it. The Tumblr app can't access private blogs.

As for the password, check your messenger.

[thisisutl]

In case you are wondering...

Yes, a big reason I’ve not been updating or replying to messages lately is precisely because I happen to work at a hospital, at a time like this.

[thisisutl]

If you get this, answer with 3 random facts about yourself and send it to the last 7 blogs in your notifications, anonymously or not! Lets get to know the person behind the blog!

1) I live in a Greek island.

2) I have a wife and daughter

3) I work at a hospital.

[thisisutl]

OMFG you're still alive :)) So quite for a long time dude, hope your life will be better. I want to know more about you, where are you from? How old are you? What do you do? How about TL Anon? I really like him :3

Thank you. For you kind words. Now to answer your questions...

-I am Greek, an island dweller to be exact.

-I am old enough to remember programming a VCR. Make of that what you will.

-I work at my island’s hospital. I mainly do lab-work. It’s a living.

-TLAnon is a very private and kind individual and I like working with him. I really regret not having the time to work on his stuff like I used to. Hopefully this will change soon.

[thisisutl]

Hi U.T.L., Do you still work with the Doujinshis? I have some Japanese Doujinshis (NaruHina one), if you still do it, I'll send them to you. Can't wait for the English version. I'm freaking love your translations, hope you can make more for us XD. Have a nice day ^^

Yes, I still work on the NaruHina doujinshis. It’s just that I’ve been dealing with a lot of heavy crap in my life lately, and progress is coming much slower than usual. As soon as I finish typesetting TLAnon’s Lovesick Doujin, I am going to get back at it.

Be warned that I don’t have any Japanese to English proof-readers at the moment, and my translations are going to be really unreliable.

[thisisutl]

Hello! Thank you so much for sharing your scans!! They were really fun and cute! Much appreciation to you for sharing the NaruHina love!

You’re more than welcome anon.

[thisisutl]

Hey~! Could I get invited to see the private tumblr? Does it have the original Japanese versions? Just curious! Thank you!!

First question: Sure. Check you private messages.

Second question: Yes. check out my last post for details.
