Anime of the day: Tokyo 24-ku

Alt title: Tokyo 24th Ward

Released: 2022

The 24th ward utilizes a special surveillance system, Hazard Cast, that predicts accidents before they happen. However, it isn’t a perfect system. A long time ago Asami’s high school caught on fire and she died. Her passing had a great impact on her friends Ran and Shuuta, and her brother Kouki. Ran, Shuuta, and Kouki were quite close friends, but after Asami, they grew apart. Ran works on his dream to be a famous street artist, Kouki helps manage Hazard Cast, and Shuuta is still stuck in the past. After the trio reunite to commemorate the loss’ from the fire, they receive a strange phone call from what seems to be Asami’s voice. The group is shown the future, but will they be able to change it’s course?

happy birthday mikudayo(fanloid) !!!!! [17 sep]

mikudayo is a derivative character created in the image of hatsune miku. she is a human-size mascot costume based off of the hatsune miku nendoroid, how ever the costume was clumsy and awkward. she first appeared in 2011 in "Tokyo Game Show 2011", where she was promoting project mirai, however mikudayo scared the children there. mikudayos name was officially recognised in apr 2012, and mikudayo herself became an official member of the cfm line up on 24 sep 2012. she is often depicted as evil in the fandom. the fanloid fandom wiki says mikudayo first appeared on 11 sep 2011, however the vocaloid fandom wiki says it was 17 sep 2011. a youtube video uploaded on 19 sep 2011 by rlgofs (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OP7BPyfTLOA) says it was 18 sep 2011, and i could see the difference between the 17th and 18th being just time zones, so ive chosen to go with the 17th. mikudayo has gotten multiple art exhibitions, including one in yokohama which features the art of cha_bo (cha_bo39 on twt). this was held in 2016 from 1 may to 8 may at the Hachiban-kan venue in Naka-ku. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUDQC7qOX5Y here is a video showing it in more detail. much of the art is creepy and horror-like, and shows mikudayos creepiness

List of Anime Produced by NitroPlus:

This information is from MAL and is only looking at TV anime.

Steins;Gate, Psycho-Pass, Fate/Zero, Madoka, Fate/Zero 2nd Season, Psycho-Pass 2, Aldnoah.Zero, Gakkougurashi!

Suisei no Gargantia, Aldnoah.Zero Part 2, Psycho-Pass 3, Robotics;Notes, DRAMAtical Murder, Azur Lane, Buddy Daddies, Katsugeki/Touken Ranbu

Togainu no Chi, SoniAni: Super Sonico the Animation, Blassreiter, Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru, Gunslinger Stratos The Animation, Tokyo 24-ku, Revenger, Hina Logi: From Luck & Logic

Zoku Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru and Warau Arsnotoria Sun!

----

I haven’t watched all of these anime myself, but for the ones that I do know, a good chunk of them tend to have some queer aspect about them.

Steins;Gate: has Ruka/Luka, a character that is gender-conforming (I know that there tends to be heavy debate on whether or not Ruka is a trans character or an otokonoko character, which is a bit different and more like a Femboy identity). Regardless, Ruka is shown to struggle with gender identity and also has a canon crush on Okabe, the MC and a man.

(The image below is of Ruka stating “I want to be a girl!”).

I’m not super well versed in Steins;Gate though (I watched it when it aired, but never got super invested in the series, games, and etc), so if anyone has anymore info on this character and series (in regards to queer aspects), feel free to share.

Psycho-Pass: I have only seen Season 1 (the other seasons are on my “To-Watch” list), but there is a canon lesbian couple in the series: Shion and Yayoi.

They are shown post-coital and everything (like, in the bed, putting underwear back on, etc.). Shion, the one in the white lab coat in the image above is also stated as being bisexual over the LGBTQIA+ Wikia. They are more minor characters, but they aren’t just background characters either.

Madoka: I watched the show when it was airing back in the day. I haven’t seen any of the movies or spinoff stuff, but I do remember there being very heavy queer subtext (specifically yuri).

Madoka and Homura are a huge yuri pairing in the anime community for a reason, lol.

DRAMAtical Murder & Togainu no Chi: Both of these anime were adaptations of Nitro+ video games. Those games were very GAY and very sexually graphic and kinky. It’s been a while since I watched either anime, but I do know that they had to tone down these series down a bit.

DRAMAtical Murder (I think the above image is from the game though).

Togainu no Chi

Interestingly, MAL has Togainu no Chi labeled as a BL, but not DRAMAtical Murder.

Anyway, both of those shows are very gay.

Finally, Revenger: this is a currently airing anime. I haven’t watched it myself (I got too caught up in Buddy Daddies, which also caused me to fall behind on watching The Fire Hunter too, my brain can only do one anime at a time, lol). But, I do check out the discussion posts on this series over on MAL and r/anime from time to time to get an idea of how they are handling characters and themes.

And apparently one episode contains a gay brothel. Okay. I was also aware of the character: Nio.

I checked out the official site before it aired, and I wanted to wait and see/hear how they handled Nio’s character. The official website describes Nio as 両性具, which is a word that is generally translated into English as hermaphrodite or androgenous, but not as intersex. Japanese also seems to deferentiate these words: 両性具有 vs. インターセックス (intaasekkusu). So, I’ve been a little uncertain of how this particular representation would play out, but regardless if it is well handled or not, the fact of the matter is that Nio’s character exists outside of the gender binary as well and is a queer character in this way.

Basically, what I’m getting at here, is that NitroPlus is an anime producer that has series which explore queer themes and has queer characters in them. Not everything they produce has queer elements to them. From what I remember of Suisei no Gargantia, for example, was pretty heternormative and straight, and one of the script writers for Buddy Daddies, Vio Shimokura, wrote for one other series: Tokyo 24-ku, which seems to lean more into “close childhood friends” category of writing with its male characters. But, I haven’t actually watched the show, so I can’t really say (this is just going off of the synopsis).

The other Buddy Daddies script writer, Yuuko Kakihara, has worked on a bunch of different series, but nothing that really stands out as being specifically queer in the sense of having same-sex relationships and whatnot. But, the company of NitroPlus itself hasn’t shied away from queer characters or themes before, either.

NitroPlus is producing Buddy Daddies along with PA Works, so I think it is important to think about what other series and kinds of content the production companies have made before too. It can add better context and layers when figuring out how to read the themes being presented in a series.

#NitroPlus #Winter 2023 anime #queer anime #Buddy Daddies #anime #long post #image heavy post #just some food for thought #also #feel free to add to this!

Literally ga ngapa-ngapain today. Well, ngelaundry sih, dan nyetrika sprei, MASANG SPREI, nonton 2 episod lupin, WORKOUT!!!, berusaha baca tp ga kesampean, dan telponan sama Abi (wah banyak juga yang dikerjain ternyata). Ku harus kembali ke draft lagi. Pusing. Dan malasssssss. Tapi gapapa Non pelan-pelan.

Terus tiba-tiba gara-gara storinya RM ngepost 5 tahun Tokyo ku jadi keingetan lagi betapa naksirnya diriku dengan orang ini. Kemarin habis nyelesaiin cyanotype batch fall 2023 juga, dan sangat senang. Terima kasih sudah menjadi muse-ku Namjoon. Terima kasih juga atas arts-nya.

Beberapa teman mulai notice betapa charmingnya Bangchan. Dan mereka juga notice kesamaan Bangchan dengan Namjoon: “ya lo sukanya yang charismatic aja gaksih Non. Leader type?” Kayanya jawabannya iya.

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

de verdad, me ha sorprendido muchísimo el casting que va a tener este juego 😲

si seguimos así, este juego va a estar BRUTAL!!!!!!!!! 😭

es increíble como ADELTA ha estado mejorando constantemente la calidad de sus juegos en todos los aspectos, al punto de que ya hasta se puede dar el lujo de poner a estos seiyuu 😍

este va juego va a ser una OBRA MAESTRA!!!!!!! 🤩

NO PUEDO ESPERAR PARA JUGARLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤤

todos estos seiyuu ya han participado en trabajos BL anteriormente

Shinbashi es Sumeragi Mikado (Tachibana Shinnosuke) quien ha hecho bastantes voces

Shiodome es Sarutobi Souji quien hizo la voz de Naruomi en Nie no Machi

Shijoumae es Kuzai Tsubasa quien ha participado en los Drama CD's de Slow Damage

y Kawamura Masato (Yamanaka Masahiro) también ha hecho muchas otras voces (Tougou Asuma de Tokyo 24-ku, Shin de Galtia)

solo nos falta por saber el seiyuu de Hinode, pero seguramente lo sabremos hasta el juego 😞

YOU WAYCHED ID INVADED :?? sorry i havent met anyone whos watched it

do you have any reccs for anything similar 🙏🙏🙏

-🪱

yes i did!! just a few months back, and i loved it (i think i love it more and more as it marinates in my brain lmao)

so of course i recently mentioned it because of the deranged detective anime lol, though i'm an anime-only with that and with only one ep out so far it's kind of hard to say if i would recommend it as something similar to id:invaded? only similarity so far is in the detective who serial kills serial killers, no sci-fi element or anything (at least not so far)

for something actually similar, i would recommend psycho-pass! it's a bit darker? i mean like visually, like aesthetically. as in literally a darker color palette ahaha, but id:invaded reminded me a whole bunch of psycho-pass (which i'd watched a bit earlier and loved even more) so i would say for sure that's my top rec for something similar

akudama drive is... i think less directly similar, in terms of plot/themes/etc, but there's a vibe that's... maybe a bit in the same category? akudama drive is just imo less Serious and more like a bang bang fun action ride (though it's not just completely silly either, i enjoyed it quite a bit overall)

darker than black might also be a good fit if you don't mind an older series, the mc there (one of my favorites) has a similar-ish vibe to narihisago imo (not like identical or anything but they're like, idk, i think i would put them into roughly the same bucket of blorbo)

it all depends a bit on similar in what regard, i guess! characters? plot? the sci-fi aspect of it? or the detective/mystery aspect? or something else?

but imo can't go wrong with psycho-pass

the id:invaded director is working on overtake! this season btw, which is the f4 racing anime, so very different from id:invaded but still good stuff if you're into sports anime

you miiight also be interested in an upcoming series called special kid factory? i don't personally know much about it yet, since it's not released, but the id:invaded director is on the staff there too and the character designs will be by the id:invaded character designer. looks like it could be good or could be a total whiff, only time will tell

and speaking of the id:invaded character designer, if it's the character look you like, you could give hamatora a shot. same character designer there, though i didn't personally get that into hamatora (some series similar-ish to it that i preferred more were like... kekkai sensen and hakata tonkotsu ramens)

anyway lots of options! just if you look up a list of similar series and see something called tokyo 24-ku on it do not. do not watch that it was not good lmao

#asks #hi worm!#this got so long and rambly but #tl;dr PSYCHO-PASS #(but depends a bit on similar in what way ahahah)

KOKIA in flashback - 2009

After her 10th anniversary year, KOKIA does decidedly not take it easier in 2009. She releases two albums on the same day: KOKIA∞AKIKO ~Balance~ and AKIKO∞KOKIA ~Balance~, to celebrate the conclusion of her 10th anniversary year. The AKIKO album is only available via her webshop and at concert venues and is distributed via her own office, anco&co, whereas the KOKIA album is distributed via Victor Entertainment. She explains that the AKIKO album deals more with her ‘inner’ songs, as she feels she is both KOKIA the artist and Akiko the person.

She departs on a world tour this year, called infinity (as the ∞ symbol from her albums is the symbol for infinity), starting in Japan before traveling to France, Ireland, Poland, Belgium and Germany. This results in two concert DVDs: 2009 infinity tour at Tokyo, recording the performance in Tokyo, and Wherever I am, a 3 disc documentary covering her journey and performances abroad.

2009 also marks the start of her Life Trilogy digital singles, with the first two releasing this year. The final one will come out next year.
