AOH 2.0, Chapter Twenty-Three

Believe it or not, but it's a new chapter of this rewrite! It's only been, what, six months? Nah, that's nothing! More seriously, I'm sorry it's been so long, and as usual, no promises for the future. I've been really busy; maybe it'll continue, maybe not. Who knows? In any case, enjoy the chapter!

If you were a Social Link or Confidant in a Persona game, which Arcana would you be?

I think my favorite SL/Confidant from P4/P5 is Nanako, from the Justice Arcana. I also really enjoyed Akechi's Confident (even if I have some nitpicks about his character), so Justice it is.

What's your view on console vs mobile gaming?

I think they're so vastly different that comparing them makes little sense. It's the same as comparing a movie to a YouTube podcast. Mobile games cannot, in essence, run like console games. On the other hand, console games are not as suited for short gaming sessions. They both have strengths and weaknesses and I found both equally great in what they do well.

What do you think the Persona protagonists do in the morning on Sundays? They don't have school on Sundays, and they don't have regular jobs that would take up their morning. So what do they do that makes it so they don't have three free time slots on Sundays (one for morning, one for afternoon, one for evening)?

Well, that's a very precise question. I don't claim to be a Persona expert, so my opinion is probably not worth very much, but I think the protags (those I know, at least, i.e. Amamiya and Narukami) are still relatively normal people in their character, so they'd probably spend their free time doing normal stuff such as studying, reading, spending time with the Sakuras/the Dojimas, etc.

🥇 My 2023 anime awards! ✨

Hello! Since we're slowly approaching the end of 2023, I wanted to give awards to the animes I've watched this year, just like I did in 2021 and 2022!

Before we start off, I want to clarify two things. Firstly, this list contains animes I've watched this year, not necessarily animes that have aired this year (though there are some of those, too). Secondly, these are my opinions, which you may disagree with. Please be sure to stay respectful. With that said, let's begin!

First anime watched this year: My Hero Academia

I began 2023 with the well-known MHA. I doubt it requires an introduction, as it is one of the most famous animes out there, but I wanted to say that, even if it has some lows (especially in S5), it remains a great anime that deserves the recognition it gets.

Last anime watched this year: Ao Haru Ride

I actually finished watching this one today. It was a pretty good ride (pun intended), though it did leave me a little disappointed. Still, it makes for a good romance/character study show, which I recommend.

Worst anime watched this year: Abunai Sisters: Koko & Mika

Do not watch this sh*t. Or, you can, to have a laugh. It is evident in my mind that this anime is the worst one in existence. Nothing in this piece of garbage is done even remotely correctly, so save yourself the trouble.

"Honorable" mentions: (A Girl & Her Guard Dog, Ex-Arm, Call of the Night)

Prettiest anime watched this year: Oshi No Ko

If there's one thing I can't take away from Oshi No Ko, it's how beautiful it looks. We were all hooked on the art and animation from the first second, which then stuck. The character design, in particular, is breathtaking.

Honorable mentions: Demon Slayer S3, Insomniacs After School, Call of the Night

Best plot in an anime watched this year: Monster

It has aged like fine wine. Monster has many qualities, but its plot is the first one that comes to mind. It is the near-perfect combo of suspense, adventure, and psychology. It perfectly fits with the art style and the characters, too! A great gem!

Honorable mentions: Hunter x Hunter, Code Geass, Black Lagoon

Best action scene in an anime watched this year: Netero vs. Meruem (Hunter x Hunter)

I did not hesitate for even a second when choosing the winner for this category. Of all the scenes that make HxH such a unique experience, this one stood out the most. It is the climax of one of the best arcs in Shonen history, executed perfectly. I have shivers just thinking about it!

Honorable mentions: All Might vs. All for One (My Hero Academia), The Final Confrontation (Attack on Titan Finale), Sukuna vs. Jogo (Jujutsu Kaisen S2)

Best romance in an anime watched this year: Fuyutsuki-san & Himuro-kun (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague)

I'll deal with these two in more length later in this post, but I absolutely adored Fuyutsuki and Himuro's relationship. Everything about them made me a silly, blushing mess. They're straightforward characters when you think about it, but perhaps it's part of what makes them such great characters in my mind. I love them!!

Honorable mentions: Miyo & Kiyoka (My Happy Marriage), Tomo & Jun (Tomo-chan is a Girl!), Ganta & Isaki (Insomniacs After School)

Funniest anime watched this year: Great Teacher Onizuka

GTO's a classic and for all the right reasons. You cannot stop yourself from laughing at Onizuka's antics. Nonetheless, GTO remains more than a mere comedy. It's this mix of humor and seriousness that makes the funny scenes even funnier.

Honorable mentions: Buddy Daddies, Nodame Cantabile, Spy x Family S2

Saddest anime watched this year: Hunter x Hunter

Thinking that HxH is a childish show based on the first few episodes alone is a grave mistake. This adventure is a rollercoaster of emotions, and a few scenes, in particular, come to mind that will most likely make you tear up. Even if it can be painful at the moment, these events are part of what makes this show legendary!

Honorable mentions: Oshi No Ko, Attack on Titan Finale, Code Geass

Best opening in an anime watched this year: History Maker (Yuri!!! On ICE)

This anime is well-known for many things, but its opening theme is cruelly underrated! It fits the show to a T and is so catchy and fun to listen to! I've undoubtedly listened to it dozens of times during the year, and it's one of my favorites overall! Kudos to Dean Fujioka for such a masterpiece!

Honorable mentions: Venus Line (Birdie Wing: Golf Girls Story), Idol (Oshi No Ko), VORTEX (Link Click S2)

Best ending in an anime watched this year: Tokyo et Paris (Nodame Cantabile)

Such a fantastic song for such an underappreciated show! It has definitely gone off the radar due to being from a relatively unknown anime, but I loved this theme from the first time I listened to it! It's not the style of music I typically listen to, but it makes a great change of pace, and it totally fits with the ambiance of the anime!

Honorable mentions: Mephisto (Oshi No Ko), yurukuru love (Tomo-chan is a Girl!), Yofukashi no Uta (Call of the Night)

Best scene in an anime watched this year: Hunter x Hunter

I'm not gonna be able to go in-depth about this scene due to risks of spoilers, but fans of the show probably know what scene I'm referring to here. I'll just say that it punctuated a fantastic moment in the story and closed an arc in the most remarkable of ways. Truly splendid.

Honorable mentions: Oshi No Ko, Attack on Titan Finale, My Hero Academia

Worst character in an anime watched this year: Koko & Mika Abunai (Abunai Sisters)

They're pieces of cr*p, in short. I don't even want to talk about them since their whole existence is a mistake and should be avoided at all costs. See, flawed characters can have redeeming features. Not only do they have none, they're enough to worsen the whole industry.

Honorable mentions: Miyabi Aizawa (GTO), Minami Uezono (Ex-Arm), Mikio Tanuki (A Girl & Her Guard Dog)

Best character in an anime watched this year: Fuyutsuki-san (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague)

I kinda went over why I love her so much in an earlier category, but I just want to reiterate: she makes me happy. The thought of her (but also of Himuro) is enough to make me smile. Whether it's her voice, her design, her personality, her bonds with the others... Everything about her is so excellent; I can't help but love her. She'll go unnoticed because she is from a show that's not so popular, but that doesn't make her any less fantastic.

Honorable mentions: Himuro-kun (The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague), Lelouch Lamperouge (Code Geass), Eren Yaeger (Attack on Titan)

Best anime watched this year: The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague

I think it was somewhat predictable, thanks to the huge amounts of praise I gave the show earlier, but this award, probably the most important, has gotta go to this anime. It also aired this year! Tuesdays were days I was looking forward to last winter for this show alone, and it definitely helped me get through tough times. You probably will hear very little about it as it's not a big production, but it had everything I watch anime for: the music, the art, the cast, the relationships, the cute moments... I even bought the manga to know the rest of the story, which I usually never do! Hopefully, we get a second season someday, though I'm slightly worried. In any case, if you're into cute workplace romances, I can't help but recommend this anime a million times. You won't regret it.

Honorable mentions: Hunter x Hunter, Perfect Blue, Insomniacs After School

Overall, 2023's been another excellent year of anime, whether for me or the community as a whole. We got a ton of fantastic shows and great sequels. I'm personally looking forward to more of the same next year, with great names either airing or coming back!

To conclude this post, here are my yearly tierlists for the opening themes, the main characters, and the shows themselves. I managed to fill them quite a bit this year, as well! Thanks a lot for reading, and I hope you all have a great New Year's Eve!

You ever think that their first Christmas in the shelter, the 78th Class and Jin Kirigiri enjoy Sayaka Maizono singing Christmas songs but with a Pop Idol version of said songs?

Example: a pop idol version of Jingle Bells or Frosty the Snowman 😏

Well, I like to think that the students tried to make the best of their Ultimate talents to pass the time. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if Sayaka's singing abilities were utilized frequently during parties and such. I also believe she'd be among the first ones to throw a Christmas party!

Did you ever finish Master Detective Archives: Rain Code? If so then what character stands out to you the most, would you ever write a fic about the game and how would you compare it to Danganronpa?

Shame on me, but I never got back to playing it... Not only was I not motivated (at all) to do so, but I also lacked time. I'm afraid I can't answer your subsequent question! :(

[moiloru]

What would you think if Capcom made an Ace Attorney case where Phoenix Wright had to defend a ham sandwich as his client?

I'm afraid I don't have the reference, but since he already defended an orca and called a parrot to the witness stand, I guess that would not be THAT farfetched (well, still a little). I don't know what crime a sandwich could commit, though!

[moiloru]

Question, since you've watched Spy x Family. Do you recommend the sub or the dub?

Both are great. I started with the dub, then switched to the sub so I wouldn't have to wait. You can't go wrong with either of them, frankly.

[moiloru]

Given how much you enjoyed Tears of the Kingdom, were you ever tempted at all to write TOTK related content?

No, not particularly. I've read a couple of great BOTW/TOTK fics, but I don't feel familiar enough with the fandom and the games to write about them. Not that I have any ideas, either...

[moiloru]

Who do you think will win in a drinking game?

Emily, yours truly, or Johnnie?

I don't drink, so definitely not me. You do seem like someone who can hold their alcohol, though, so probably you! 😝

[moiloru]

Piggybacking off notattumbr20’s ask, how do you get the music you listen to? Do you get them from a streaming app or do you buy and download different songs individually or in an album?

I use Deezer to listen to music on a daily basis (whether during rides, when I'm waiting somewhere...) and when I'm writing, too. Other than that, I also use YouTube when I just wanna listen to video game OSTs and the likes.

[moiloru]

Random Question of the day, what type of music do you like listening to when you write? Can be regular, video game or anime music.

Excellent question! It can actually be all three, though I tend to lose focus when I listen to anything with lyrics as I sing along and don't write, haha. I have a playlist of video game OST that I particularly love, so I often listen to that.
