Yknow I can’t tell if this is happening more and more bc the general circles seem sick of arma bc it’s always in SRW-as petty as that whole thing is-or if this is just popping up more as years go on but I find it funny how people continually say “don’t watch arma as your first getter show, it’s confusing without any prior knowledge!” When like- you look at every other mecha imagawa has directed and it’s a stable of his to have a drastically altered setting from the original source, that your thrown into and doesn’t get shit explained to you so you have to figure it out as it goes along.
Like- he did this exact thing with giant robo even more confusing as he ripped a ton of characters from the authors other works, g gundam he said “what if I made Gundam a SUPER robot” so if you don’t know wtf the real robot is or know nothing about gundam that’s gonna be tonal whiplash and shin mazingers while a more traditional retelling first fucking ep is the ENDING. (Tetsujin the only one I can’t comment on here bc I know hardly anything about it since no one talks about it, but I’ll report back if it follows the same “Wtfness” bc I expect so) With arma even if he left after ep 3 and the rest of the changes (debateably) we’re added by Kawagoe, the first 3 eps are his standard story telling, especially given this was his third mecha project. Sure, someone may not know this if they never saw his other works or be informed similar director, but arma really isn’t a outline so I don’t get why it shows so much hostility if someone starts with it first.
Am I opposed to someone starting with the manga or any of the other Animes because they give better insight on the character? No, it’s all personal preference and anything else is just as a good starting point if not slightly better then arma. But I don’t like there should be a designated starting point when with getter the *only* thing someone needs to do in a specific order or way is what arcs of the manga to read-which even then, not the end of the world if someone stumble upon it via a later arc bc they can go back to read the rest if they find them-but the only anime they’ll need prior manga context to is arc since it’s outright a adaptation. Toei and all the ovas are their own thing, even if the latter takes elements of the manga.
Arma is no different from this and it’s really sad to see how it’s gatekeep like this as of late when it’s not actually “something you need a lot of experience in the franchise to understand” and more so “a effect of imagawas really specific method of story telling that is convoluted”.

I have (probably) too many thoughts about webtoons I have no read and webtoons I have not finished and their related media.
Yes this is about lookism and solo leveling
No this is nothing about plot
Lookism op popped up on YouTube feed and I just. Got really excited over it despite me not reading it because FUCK. IDK. ITS KINDA COOL. korean webtoon animated in korea! They added bg of traditional korean buildings for the korean characters and others for (I assume) the non korean characters! Idk it was just. Exciting to see this adaptation be eagerly korean after watching say Noblesse be animated (twice!) and have the original location erased. Like please! I don't want this to be the last! I really don't know much about lookism other than super basic plot but I hope the animation does well! Cause I'd love to see other webtoons be animated as well!
And with solo leveling I saw trailers for the game pop up and man. Those trailers were really good. Really well animated and fluid and dynamic in the fighting. Game itself looks pretty interesting but I can't say much cause I'm not really knowledgeable about games,,, but the animation! Was really nice! I'm... not entirely happy about sl being not animated in korea tbh but if the anime can make me feel as hyped as these game trailers did then (hopefully) it'll be fine
Reason why I'm not really happy with it being animated out of Korea is
Well one I don't really like the decision to rename the character and the bg to be Japanese. Two, since SL is something with vast amount of international attention it would've been nice if it was used to push more funding towards korean animation. Despite korea having done tons of animation for anime and American cartoons there's not much in terms of their own animation and series. And if korea goes down the route of manhwa -> animation like how Japan does manga -> anime it would be pretty cool to see!
Would love to see more info on the sl anime tho, tbh I haven't really looked too much into it so I forget when it's expected to be released
Ah 2023? For the trailer? I think? I hope the pacing's good. Same with the animation. Previous webtoon adaptations have been extremely... meh. I'M SALTY ABOUT NOBLESSE OK? OK? TWO CHANCES AND THEY BLEW THEM BOTH PLEAAAAAAASE

It looks like the plot in G.U. is starting to bring in things from the anime now and I was wondering if I should watch it before playing any further but from what info I could find, there's soooo much more to it than just one show and there's a whole watch order list and spoilers to be mindful of and oooh my god. What have I gotten myself into???

anyway if anyone's curious why detco-hell is on a bit of a hiatus the story is that I needed a lil change of pace so I started watching a bunch of completely random mostly eh isekai anime (specifically because it is not my usual genre of interest) to kinda see what's up with that part of the world and have fun roasting them, and then I accidentally watched slime isekai aka tensura and was genuinely surprised how charming and wholesome it is with just enough war crimes to keep it exciting, not to mention the overall queerness of this series and the fun political shenanigans and world building unapologetic about its video game rules
so needless to say I've become a lil obsessed 🙏

it was a cruel twist of fate that everything i actually wanted and all my personal growth flashed before my eyes as soon as i ended up in the biggest mental and physical crisis of my life that has slowly eaten away at my will to live and aged me like crazy but at least it gives me (this is a metaphor and not literal***) watanuki kinnie points
#ehe#no but like ITS KINDA FUNNY THO#the funniest part is i got more and more mixed on the og holic manga ending the more and more i went through mental health crises#and various inabilities to feel like i can see friends without feeling scared or battles with loneliness or all that depressing stuff#like as a teenager i found suffering and tragedy in stories a lot more mature and beautiful than i do now#smth abt going through suicidal periods and massive mental issues that makes the holic ending look less and less beautiful and mature etc#i mean theres beauty in it and most of my fav series are DEEPLY TRAGIC AND COMPLICATED but also fuck this let them be happy#holic especially just feels so fuckin wild cause on the one hand its rly fucking poetic as a cautionary tale but#also its like ...for a series deeply centered on personal growth and depression....to contradict its own thesis statement...#i think part of my mixed feelings is rei cause the fetch quest dream world sike actually made me angry#plus it felt kinda like ...oh no choice is the wrong choice freedom of choice good (peer pressures him into making the 'right' choice)#tfw the hand monster is THE COOLEST SHIT imaginable but what it represents kinda soured me on rei lol#anyway when Rei continues ill keep up with it but my eyes are SIDE EYEING it real bad#sometimes i think abt how the ovas further clarified various shit the anime chose not to#they said no clamp not everything is improved by teacher student forbidden romance ambiguity theyre not actually into each other#stamped that ambiguity out right away#i forgot where i was going w this#anyway angst is good but sometimes anime characters should have nice things#i have no idea where this train of thought came from#i used to be too anxious to go too hard on likkng holic cause nobody cared and i worried i was being too cringe#at least in my sick person with no life era one of my big realisations was that that was dumb and i like it way more than i let on#cringe is dead and doumeki is not in my brain because i said so

Sex Chronicles Part 1
“I can’t stop thinkin about your pussy”. He said. As I listened to him confused.., thinkin to myself “he’s never seen, touched or felt my pussy”. Still, I entertained his thoughts.
“How is it you can’t stop thinkin about pussy you never had?”
He replies..
“The way you talk, and the way you walk, I can tell it’s good “. I laugh..
“So you’re tellin me that you can tell that my pussy .. is Wett ...and juicy as fucck..and will squeeze,..
throb ..
and squirt all over ya dick..,
based on how I talk and the way I walk..?”
“Daam “, he says... “ why you had to say it like that..? You got my dick hard as fucck right now!, that shit right there, is how I know.. Daaam!.. who says shit like that?..”
“Me”. I say. “ you talkin bout my pussy like you know her, or like y’all met before.. so I was just givin you an informal introduction.. that’s all “. “Her name is Ms. Juicy by the way.. so please.. when you address her.. make sure it’s done properly.. please and thank you kind sir “.
“Daaaam”, he says again.. “You are somethin else..” he says in a low groan.
In my mind.. smilin to myself.., I’m thinkin.. this nigga strokin his dick right now..
“Yo, I promise I’d hit every single spot.. why you playyinn tho”
I reply..
“ Behave yourself sir.. calm down.. you still don’t know her yet..or what she likes..or what she wants..”
“Tell me..” he says..”whatever you want.. whatever she wants I’ll do it for both of you!.. why you teasin me..! Daaaam!”
“ Not teasin “.. I replied.. “You.. sir.. was talking about thinkin of My pussy.. My pussy .. that you don’t know.. My pussy.. that you never smelled.. My pussy.. that you never seen.. My pussy.. that you never touched.. My pussy.. that you never felt..
So I’m tryna help you out.. I’m a fucckin lady.. so .. proper introduction, is.. always very necessary..” “You don’t even know if you’re ready for her.. already sooo anxious like Genuine.. imma need you to bring that all the way down Playboy “..
Him.. of course replies..” Whatchu mean...bae I’m fit.. gotchu.. locked and loaded “..
I’m shakin my head.. thinkin.. “these niggas crazy as hell.. but still.. I’ll play tha game “
“Sooo, you want me to finish introducing her to you.. or nah..?”
“Daaaam bae, yess.. please tell me everything I need to know “
I’m feeding off of his energy now.. and his anticipation now.. H.E.R.. Every kind of way.. is playing on my Pandora.. so it helps me to continue assisting his thoughts.
“ Patience is required.. “ I say.. “ Although she has a mind of her own.. of how Wett she gets.. connection.. presence.. and energy.. is all me.. and there’s no Go.... unless I wanna Go.. You understood that..?
“ Yess.. Bae. yess .. “ he says.. “ I understand.. my dick so hard right now.. I don’t think YOU understand..shiiit!”
“Mmmmm..” I reply.. “ Hard Dick.. is definitely a requirement..thank you for cooperating for her “.. she definitely appreciates that part “..
“ A lot of how she performs definitely depends on you.”
“ She’s either a Nun or your favorite porn star..she’ll squeeze you ohh so gently..or take your whole soul...she’ll throb .. squirt.. “. He interrupts.. in a low tone.. almost a whisper.“ Bae.., come on .., just lemme come ova.. or you can even come here..and you can jus show me what to do.. I’ll follow your directions.. prommise “. I ignore what he’s sayin.. I mean he started talking about MY pussy.. so.. I just continue..
“She is capable of giving .. as well as having multiple orgasms.. for the right one..”. “ the deeper the connection.. she gets wetter..and more energized.. hungry for more and more.. I .. will then .. will focus on how in tune.. You are with me.. I.. require eye contact and need to feel.. and know.. how you’re feeling.. what you’re feeling.. and will need you to verbally express... how you’re feeling... how she feels to you.. how .. I feel.. to you.. Silence.. is not an option..the more you say.. the more you react..the more you express.. I ..will ensure .. absolute sensual and sexual pleasure.. and desire..”
“Kissin..
Suckin..
Lickin..
Fucckin .. luvvin..
every..
Single.. inch of you..”
He’s quiet.. but his breathing is heavy.. but low..
I ask..” Have I lost you?”..
He responds in another low, gaspy like growl.. “No Bae.. I’m here.. you Fucckin me up right now..” his voice sounds weakened , low, and gaspy.
“ I want you soo Fucckin bad right now.. Fucck..”
“Mmmm”.. I say..
“ I bet you do”..
“ Question tho..”
He replies..
“ I’ll answer any questions you have.. just lemme feel you.. daam .. please..”
“ Soo.. why you haven’t made time for me before.. I mean.. “ I say , as I laugh a lil..
“ we text.. you call.. you video or whateva.. but tonight because we talking about My Pussy.. you ready for me to come ova.. or wanna come ova here.. but before that.. you always busy.. what’s that about tho for real “.
“Come on Bae.. “ he’s still has that low gaspy whisper. “ Don’t do that.. you already know how I feel about you.. my Dick on Rock even when you send me pics of that beautiful face and that pretty smile.. you know I want you.. don’t do that please.. come on .. just lemme see you tonite.. imma show you how much I want you.. and we can do whateva you want Bae.. dead serious.. I really feel like I need to see you right now..’
I let him say his piece..
I laugh again..
“Your dick still hard right now?” I ask..
“ Babe , I swear I was about to cum .. listening to you.. You and that mouthpiece.. daaam .. I felt like I was in the pussy just by what you was sayyin... I don’t know how.. but you got me feelin some type a way fa’real.. .. I’d stay in that pussy all nite.. Babe.. not goin nowhere On God!”.. you got me “
As I’m listening to how fast the bullshit flies from his mouth..
I ask another question..
“ Do you know that I’m Celibate?..”
Silence..

I'm curious, do you have specific favorite voice actors for the Sonic characters? (Like just the main few, Sonic, Shadow, Tails, etc.) if so, may we know your favorites?
Brace yourselves, this is gonna be a long one so under the cut.
Tumblr media
Jun'ichi Kanemaru is THE standard for Sonic. The guy is passionate about the role and captures him perfectly. Plus, he's a great singer! The English VA that came closest to matching him is Jason Griffith. (honorable mention to Devon Mack. Low as my opinion is of Prime, Devon's voice is actually pretty suitable for Sonic. Would like to hear him in a better product!)
Tumblr media
The late Chikao Ōtsuka for Eggman was wonderful, but I have zero complaints with Mike Pollack. Really, no matter what style or tone he's portrayed Eggman in, he's always done it superbly. I'd say of all English VA's that worked in this series, Mr. Pollack's probably been the one who's NEVER had a miss. Guy's got incredible range even in his work outside of Sonic (using this as a chance to shill the Pluto Anime since he starred in it. GO WATCH IT PLEASE.)
Tumblr media
Tails is really really REALLY hard to mess up. His voice actresses have typically been great at capturing him (save for OVA Tails who talks like he has a cold). Coleen's a fine Tails and suitable replacement for Amy Palant but I may still prefer Palant just because she's the nostalgic one for me being in all the 2000's games plus Sonic X.
Tumblr media
Knuckles voice preference is a tough call. His VA needs to be able to play up both his aggressive and gentler sides. It's a toss up between Dan Green and his current VA Dave B Mitchell. Mitchell has been doing good work in the animated shorts so I like him and he's the best we've had since Dan moved on. His Japanese VA, Nobutoshi Kanna, is great as well for the same reasons. :)
Tumblr media
Amy's best actress is still her JPN VA, Taeko Kawata (who is also a lovely singer!) Lisa Ortiz to this day is STILL her best ENG VA. She captured Amy's youthful, cutesy appeal but can IMMEDIATELY switch to her assertive side naturally. Fantastic range and it's too bad that Amy's assertiveness has been subdued so much lately that this can't be fully appreciated anymore.
Tumblr media
Cream's had far fewer options to choose from. I like both her actresses in JPN (Sayaka Aoki) and ENG (Rebecca Honig) honestly. I do like the almost whispery gentleness to her ENG voice particularly. Just helps her feel very soft and sweet.
Tumblr media
Shadow's JPN VA, Kōji Yusa, is so good. You really can't go wrong here. For the ENG VA, this might be a bit controversial because while I appreciate David Humphrey as Shadow's debut in SA2, I'm still partial to Jason Griffith purely because once he got accustomed to Shadow as a character, he really elevated the role. I think his performance in 06 was one of the best moments for the character overall.
Tumblr media
Rouge might one of the few times where I actually prefer her current ENG voice actress, Karen Strassman, to her older one. Her JPN VA, Rumi Ochiai, is THE standard tho so Karen just suits her best as a close match! Youthful yet still mature and her flirty quality doesn't sound too forced.
Tumblr media
Omega's JPN VA (Taiten Kusunoki) IS SO AMAZING. It's hilariously deeper than I expected but still robotic so something about it just WORKS. His ENG VA is alright too. But I just love the JPN Voice, I don't know why.
May do a part two if I have time for the others!

Obligatory mid-season Wakfu thoughts
Everything has been solid so far, this recent episode definitely establishes the theme of family and having to deal with strains of it and is much tighter than Season 3 as a result.
Be curious how Toress is handled since he is not really in for a sympathetic angle tho may be due to why these creatures exist in the first place.
Love the angle they are going for the Eilatrope goddess where she is so caring that it's also a burden. Yugo feels her pain but is still loyal to Amaila and his friends. It's a good groundwork for if she turns antagonistic.
Albert is a good dad I can't wait for his efforts to cheer up Yugo go to waste when it prob inadvertised floods the world again.
Amaila gets to have some badass moments and I am glad to go off queen. I am scared for her survival considering she is not in Waven rn.
Nora angst, while I adore the island of Wakfu ver of her (still better design) like what they are establishing with her so far.
Just kinda funny Qilby gets patrol right to just chill and be an ass, I wonder if the fact he can possibly die for real would interest him considering his curse.
I am aware of Lance Dur due to Waven (want to eventually watch his series) I am curious what people think of him who is unaware of his background.
Finally some good Eva content. I know people are mixed regarding Eva's character post-S2, I'm in camp she can be a mom but def needs content for her to stand out and I'm glad finally getting it. The dad drama is a nice parallel to what Yugo going through and am excited to finally get the backstory for Eva hopefully.
Cras are cool again and Flopin might actually get content now. Can tell the Sadlygroves are the ones I care for the most XD.
I'm miffed at the angle they are going for Tristepin being immature. It felt like he already matured by OVAs and did a nice balance of that while still being his goofy self. Have to see where it goes.
Ruel off to stop his ex-wife from donating his life savings to charity and it's just funny the contrast of this and the rest of the season.

Masterpost of Projects
Hi! I'm Null! I make way too much stuff !! Here's a comprehensive list of everything I'm proud enough of to advertise on the front of my blog! It's a lot of kuro stuff!
My COMMISSIONS are OPEN!
BLACK BUTLER : BOOK OF SPIDERS [<- watch here]
A literal season 2 MOVIE. That's right i fucking COMPILED SEASON 2 INTO A FUCKING MOVIE it's a TWO AND A HALF HOUR LONG FUCKING MOVIE. I am in no way an editing professional, but the filler is cut, the gratuitously vile scenes are either done differently or also cut, and Alois and Hannah are portrayed in a kinder light, especially with Alois's backstory being handled a lot more carefully. No original footage is added - it is merely camera tricks and framing.
"You got rid of that Ciel screaming scene and that's like 5 stars for me." -- @warmmilk-n-honey
"Truly proves that less is more." -- @pain-in-the-butler
"An actual digestible version of Season 2." - @mantomhive
Tumblr media
2. My Webcomic: The Dead The Damned & The Devil (Read here)
What if Vincent Phantomhive came back from the dead just before his sons were sacrificed? This is a fix-it AU...kind of. Many side characters are integral to this story, like Francis and Madam Red. It's got 8+ chapters, and if you like to watch scared parents protect sad little kids, its a good read. likewise, if you already want to hug vincent, its a good read. likewise, if you want to punch vincnet in the face, it's a good...
VOLUME ONE HAS BEEN COMPLETED!!!
Tumblr media
3. My Season 2 Video Essay (black butler season 2 is laughing at you)
watch me scream about the meta of season 2 as an exhausted season 2 fan for about two hours...it's got some original animatics, too!
Tumblr media
4. My Youtube + some highlights such as
The Black Butler Actors OVA Abridged
Tumblr media
exactly what it says on the tin! a 22 minute long black butler parody following what the hellish production of season 2 was actually like (and also. uh. character trauma??? somehow???)
"Cinder Soul" the angsty End-of-Contract visual novel
Sebastian and Ciel angst hours, in an AU where Ciel has quite literally lost everything. Ominous. Sad.
Tumblr media
Season 2 Reanimation project
on indefinite hiatus -- but its still 14 minutes of technically an episode, and the ending is more 'open' than 'cliffhanger.' what if Alois and Ciel got to talk it out when they were trapped in the same body, back in episode 11? Fully originally animated (thsi is probably the largest thing I've ever made hghdfhs)
Tumblr media
Collabs w Mel ( @weeb-cheese )
This list will probably get longer but aaa they're so cool!
youtube
youtube
Pluto video essay!
Tumblr media
Drossel video essay!
Tumblr media
NOT-KURO VIsual Novel
A light-hearted (?) sapphic visual novel about some ladies who LARP at garden club. On hiatus
Tumblr media
5. Ego Te Absolvo
So what if Alois Trancy teamed up with Ash Landers and became an exorcist who killed demons? Would he be happy? Would he be free? This is a really fun fic, i've been co-writing it with @eemoo1o and its aaa!! very cool!! do be warned, it gets...darker...the longer you read it. it is an alois trancy fic after all, even if the initial concept might seem a bit silly
Tumblr media
6. RIan Stoker Ask Blog
Don't ask me why i wanted to make this. but he's always open!
Tumblr media
I have a number of other smaller projects that you can find by hunting through my youtube and stalking my ao3. I don't mind!! tho some of the older stuff is definitely not as good lmao thanks for reading!!
I also run @blackbutler-heritage-posts and hosted @dadbastianweek2023 !!!

thoughts on the paralive ending (spoilers, very incoherent)
lots of mixed feelings but I'll start of with the one thing I really liked: rowdiez instrumental made it into the ending :') didn't get a 3d mv but good enough ig
something I realized (kinda embarrassing it took me 12 eps but) finally figured out why the lab coat guy sounded so familiar. I tried checking MAL and the wiki but he didn't have a page so I had to check the ending credits but he's voiced by fyodor (also funny that he literally has no name. he's just "white clothes guy")
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ok so for the mixed feelings part: I'm generally pretty open to adaptations doing something different (trimax vs trigun vs stampede and I like all of them) and maybe paraani will grow on me but the CD dramas are still better. I don't like how they removed a lot of iori akyr in general the characterization outside of the groups (satsuki's crush on anne, tsubaki entirely, club candy is there in theory except nobody talks about it, iori and zen are just in some really office building, yohei and iori's past (unless shuffle ovas???? /overdosing on copium))
the whole metal corrosion thing came kinda out of left field, especially how it started affecting the audience? somehow?? Like the other phantometal users sure, but the audience?? moving on already bc too many questions to unpack (I haven't listened to s2 of the dramas, but I heard cozmez never got that match with buraikan? do we get an explanation for that btw? I know I didn't happen like this but I mean I guess the ending point won't affect s2 too much)
I was kinda right abt the BAE saves the day thing but at least it was also all of them saving kanata? but the idea if ppl rapping at you until you get over the angst of remembering your twin is dead (except he's actually not but wtv) is kinda silly. (I'll take all the akyr actually doing something crumbs I can take at this point) bonus points for shura to just start playing a beat from the speakers and then leaves
I don't think they explained how nayuta's alive? and they had the audacity to not include shiki in the ending rooftop scene? (I know they were doing unit montages but like. did shiki even get to see real nayuta. he just. never got closure???) at least we got alt hair for cozmez tho (black hair kanata and long hair nayuta)
sorry I've been thinking abt this episode for a day and I still can't articulate anything :/

Camera Roll Challenge: Dating Jean Kirschtein
I dunno what it is about Jean but this man reads hopeless romantic to me. Maybe the whole being an artist thing. Especially when he's older. Breakfast in bed just cause you deserve it. Probably did the thing where he wrote letters to his future self to open at certain life milestones. Some of them are to his future significant other. When they get engaged. When they get married. When they've been together 5, 10, 15, etc years.
It's something he keeps up with as he gets older too. So they aren't always just from his super younger self. Maybe he wrote one to his future partner in high school then after going through lots of growth and experiences he decides to write another one to that same person. It'd be really interesting to read how much he changed in-between those years. I think he'd also make ones for partners that are like, what I was thinking in the moments before our first kiss. when I knew I'd fallen in love with you. other ways I thought of proposing. (Man, I'm so smitten for this man, I can't believe out of everyone I'm writing the most in depth for him. lol)
I don't know if he ever reaches the smooth or suave level when flirting or asking folks out --tho he thinks he has lol. He's so corny but it's really sweet and cute. Probably continues to use ridiculous pickup lines on people as a way to break the ice.
He can dance-thanks to Connie! He's a got pretty good rhythm and is a quick learner when someone takes the time with him. So thanks to his bestie Jean can salsa, batchata and merengue. He's always up for going out dancing and would take the time to teach his partner. Along with that, he's also the type of person that feels a big urge to wine and dine his partner and take them out on regular dates no matter how long they've been together.
Also the dancing wouldn't just be when yall are out on the town. Saturday morning cleaning days often lead to some kind of dancing and sometimes dance-off shenanigans. Depending on the music selection.
Like Bertholdt, I can really picture Jean being into theatre. Though, unlike Bertie, he very much thrives being the center of attention on stage. Related to the hopeless romantic thing, I can see him memorizing monologs, sonnets and poetry to recite to his partner.
Also, while there is that one OVA of him being a lil shit to his mom, I feel like once he gets over that teen "too cool for my mom" era he's a great son. His mom is so accepting of you and the first time you come for dinner she's totally the stereotypical mom who breaks out baby photos of her Jeanbo! I feel like she'd be such a great mother-in-law and is just so thrilled that Jean found someone to give his heart to.

A few photo thoughts below the cut :)
Top middle: Random morning with him bringing you breakfast in bed. And then also cleaning up the dishes afterward! Definitive husband material right here. (not that the bar should be that low but it's a green check) And you can't help but wanna catch a photo of those pretty legs of his as he's heading out.
Middle left: Okay I can't make a Jean post without bringing up horses. lol I feel like he grew up in the burbs and never really interacted much with them. But being besties with Sasha he ends up tagging along with her and Connie when she starts learning to ride from friends at the Ren Faire she works at in high school. Also, can you imagine how dreamy this man would look dressed up as a knight? Then waxing on poetically about how much he's in love with you? Corny as hell but my heart would definitely be doin flips.
Middle center: Why did he take a picture of himself pretending to sleep and send it to you?? Who knows with this boy. But at least he's cute. And he does seem real snuggleable.
Middle left: Booooooooooooooooy. I don't know bout yall but this photo got me feelin some type of way. Not just the tongue but the beanie and the earring too. 😮‍💨 Just feels like our boy's whole vibe in a nutshell.

oh, I've had a hunch that Sanji got... cranked up to 11 in the anime. after OPLA I became manga-only reader, as I wanted the rawest possible OP experience and also bcuz reading is quicker than watching the anime 😅 (I'm still not even halfway through -- recently started Impel Down -- but it is such a great story, I already love it so much!!!) but I also started dipping my toes into the fandom. and I saw people hating Sanji for being a gross pervert. but while reading the manga, this man gave me more of a love-sick puppy vibes??? all the swooning and fussing over Nami and Robin seemed almost sweet (him running towards them with flowers in Skypiea or cotton candy in Long Ring Island? c'mon, that was adorable) he has his moments but they aren't even that bad, tbh. I wondered that maybe it was a misguided hate towards his special treatment for women (chivalry?????) rankling feminists, tired of men treating women like wilting flowers in constant need of man-help but no, people seemed very dead-set on him being a straight up pervert and I realised... oh, those are anime fans... oh, no... what happened here, and I got discouraged from trying to watch the anime, since if it changed Sanji, one of the main characters, it was very likely to change other things, especially given how old the anime is. and then I realised that it already changed things even in the first episode and I kind of... stuck to the manga for now. maybe I will watch some movies just to see the One Piece world prettily animated 🤔
(Long post) First of all, some recommendations for you so you can enjoy the animation ^^ If you want to enjoy One Piece animated with an "Oda feel", watch the movie "Strong World". The script is written by Oda and you can watch it after finishing Thriller Bark. Like with the rest of the movies, the content is not Canon content, so what you see on them doesn't really happen in the real One Piece story (even if some of the enemies pasts are canon), but this one is the best and more on character we can probably see.
After that, Oda was executive producer in "Film Z" (supposed to be after FishMan Island Arc, but preferably after Punk Hazard Arc to avoid spoilers) and "Gold" (watch after Dressrosa Arc). His involvement with these movies is not so big, tho, so watch them with that in mind. (For example, in "Gold" Oda only rewrote the script of the climax of the story, because he was specially unsatisfied with how that part was done. They had to redraw the last 10min of the movie OvOu)
Also he was a producer in "Red" (watch after Wano Arc), and he made a lot of interesting comics and things that are canon pre-Movie... but the Movie on itself is weird. They changed many things of his initial notes and the characters are very "out of character" in my opinion. It has very good music and animation, tho! But yeah... watch with caution ^^U
(I was not gonna mention it at first, but why not... there is also "Stampede", but "Oda stated that he would not have allowed the movie's story to be produced if it was not a commemoration of the anime's 20th anniversary." So... I wouldn't watch it if you expect anything that makes sense in his world or characters xDU)
(You also have the OVA "One Piece - Defeat Him! The Pirate Ganzack", which pre-dates Toei's Anime adaptation. Oda took a lot of interest in this OVA, and he praised it a lot when it came out in 1998) ----------- And second, in my opinion, you made the right decision going to the Manga! As you say, it is the best way to get the rawest version of the story. And also way faster to read it than to watch it xD
I'm glad you love it so much! ❤️ It is really an amazing story, and I hope you keep enjoying it ^^
And now, oh boy, about Sanji... (this is gonna be a very reduced and fast thing I'm gonna write, but I plan on analyze the differences between the Manga and Anime in this other tumblr, if you want to see more eventually):
Your hunch is completely correct. Sadly Sanji's character is completely obliterated in the Anime ^^U
He is reduced to his perverted side (and very veery amped up), or to being mean and fighting all the time. He has nothing of the kindness he shows in the Manga, only the things they can not exclude for the story to make sense. The many fillers also show a different Sanji than the one shown in the Manga. The Anime also shows Nami completely disgusted by him very often, which influences the way we see him as viewers. She just treats him like a slave when she is being "nice". (Nami is also very different in the Anime. They all are different people in the Anime, honestly u_uUU)
So yes, I think most of people who hate him for being gross and a pervert mainly have their first and only contact being the Anime. And it is understandable feeling like that, because it is seriously a bad representation of the character. He is not himself at all.
The Anime reaches an even more unpalatable degree after the time-skip. ---- [((Little Spoiler of right After Time-Skip: Sanji comes back more sensitive to pretty women in the Manga, which translates into many nosebleeds until he recovers. But in the Anime they had always shown him in that level of pervert, or even worse! So they had to amp it even MORE and show him harassing random women and everyone being disgusted around him... something that doesn't happen in the Manga! It makes the character really stand out in grossness))] ----
As you say, Sanji in the Manga is a sweet guy, and only shows as a real pervert sometimes... but it is shown in a funny way. And Nami and Robin react in a non-negative way, mostly just amused that he is such a dummy. But everyone knows he is just harmless.
He totally acts like a love-sick puppy and has those sweet romantic outburst, but he can be a normal human being. And most importantly, treats them mainly as friends and human beings. Anime Sanji could never xDU
Please, feel free to make more asks ^^
