Stardust Telepath #3 - Explosive Mechanic

Screenplay: RinRin Storyboard/Episode Direction: Shinichirou Ueda Animation Direction: Megumi Nagayama, Ryoutarou Takamura, Yuuta Masaki, Ken Mukaigawara Key Animation: Hiroyuki Shimizu, Megumi Nagayama, Maya Yoshida, Tatsuya Urano, Yuuta Masaki, Hiroshi Tanabe, Yousuke Sotoyama, Haruka Sakai, Manabu Kushibuchi, Takanori Suzuki, Satoshi Horisawa, Michitaka Yamamoto, Takahiro Ninagawa, Lilin Zhao, Haruki Ebisu, Yoshiko Nakamura, Kanoko Sakurai, Ryoutarou Takamura, Tetsuya Sunaga, Ken Mukaigawara, Junichi Hashimoto, Yuuichirou Kamura (Eyecatch: 街早智子)

I've wanted to talk about this show since I watched the first episode, but I couldn't find the time. Now we're at episode 3, and guess what? It's pretty great still. Kaori has been at the helm of the whole series at Studio Gokumi, showcasing the studio's in-house staff in a very strong way. Kaori's approach to adapting this series is fantastic; the show is very colorful, especially in its character designs. There are so many fun reactions and expressions that I just can't help but love. It's been a lot of fun so far, and Kaori's expressive and colorful direction is a great match for the series' character designer, Takahiro Sakai. You might have already seen his designs in Yuki Yuna is a Hero, or perhaps you've watched the recent Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon (I know I didn't). The designs are very flexible and simple, which works great with the more expressive moments. I mean, it's just so cute, and when combined with the color design, they really stand out to me as a big selling point of this anime.

The story itself is somewhat comparable to the recent Bocchi the Rock, if I had to mention something to compare, if you're a fan of shows dealing with social anxiety and featuring fun visuals, I would definitely recommend giving this a try.

Since the title does say this is a write-up on episode 3, I should probably start talking about episode 3. This is actually the first episode so far that Kaori didn't have a hand in from a boarding perspective, but the expressiveness and reactions were still present in this episode. While the usage of them and the colors weren't as bold as Kaori's usual style, I believe Shinichirou Ueda did a really good job, especially for the more serious or emotional moments of the episode.

Kaori relies on a lot of contrast or bright and simple elements over detailed backgrounds to make things pop. Every time they're a bit quirky or making a funny face, you'll notice it. Ueda's approach is a bit more cohesive, and I couldn't really find a word for it until I talked to my friend this morning, who mentioned that he noticed it, and he's absolutely right. Ueda takes a more environmental approach compared to Kaori, incorporating more variety in distance and layout size. For instance, he uses long empty halls to emphasize the distance Umika must cross to connect with Raimon. When Umika runs during the night, it's subtly matched by the soft stars in the sky. In contrast, Kaori might have been a bit more heavy-handed in how brightly the stars shine or how much they pop out. I think Ueda's approach is different in that he likes to make the entire scene a bit more unified in its look rather than having one element stand out more than the others. I like both Kaori and Ueda's styles very much, and I don't have a strong preference between the two. I just wanted to mention the differences I see in their approaches.

Returning to the production as a whole for a moment, I completely forgot to mention that, aside from the aesthetic direction and character designs, the show animates quite well. It's a very pleasing-looking show, at least to me. The production is very solid, and I think credit should be given to the talented in-house animators at Gokumi and the animation producer, Kenta Washikazi. He has only held this role for two shows prior to this one (Yuki Yuna is a Hero: The Great Mankai Chapter and Seton Academy), both of which also had solid production, so it's clear he knows what he's doing. He has brought on people like Kouta Sera, who appears to be fairly heavily involved in this show as a key animator so far, and he's extremely talented. For instance, he did the cut of Umiko floating up in the opening. It's a perfect mix of in-house staff and the talent Washikazi decided to bring on.

#OneNETnewsINVESTIGATES: Bleach Fandom Community on The X Network face Massive Death Threats and Harassments, targeting animators at a Japanese anime studio [EXCLUSIVE]

TRIGGER WARNING: The following investigative news report contains a higher dose of extra severe graphic nature and anime culture issues. Our news organization of OneNETnews has a STRICT zero-tolerance policy and we do NOT fully promote, aggressively attacking or condone to expose the hate in a political matter. Read our IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER in this news article below, mga-Kabandera.

TOKYO, JAPAN -- In a brazen but saddened turn of events, fans of the popular anime series 'Bleach' have recently taken to the X Network (formerly Twitter) unleashing a barrage of death threats, harassments and a brazen cesspool of hate speech against animators from Studio Pierrot, following the release of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War'. The Japanese animators' safety and well-being have been seriously affected by these toxic actions with corrupted anime production. Sport entertainment, pop culture and the digital insider 'Sportskeeda' obtained the exclusive investigative insights into this disturbing trend to expose political hatred of anime, shedding light on the impact of these threats and the potential ramifications for the future of the beloved anime.

(FILE PHOTO COURTESY: Google Images)

To comprehend this distasteful tragedy, it's essential to understand the significance of Bleach within anime. Bleach is a renowned anime and manga series created by Mr. Noriaki Kubo.

A male protagonist teen with ghost-seeing abilities, Ichigo Kurosaki is assigned the role of Soul Reaper, a soul-guiding agent who protects the living world from evil spirits of hell. A mix of action, supernatural elements and intricate storytelling captivated audiences worldwide, since its debuted on television originally from Japan.

The latest installment 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' in the early mid-October 2022 -- marked the return of the series, after a long hiatus from late-March 2012, much to the delight of the fans. However, as the show progressed, a faction of disgruntled fans began expressing their dissatisfaction on social media platforms such as the X Network and Threads (who were individually owned by the X Corporation and Meta Platforms Inc.), specifically targeting all animators associated with Studio Pierrot in the aforesaid home country of Tokyo Prefecture.

An animation director of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' named Satoshi Sakai, became entangled in this virtual controversy. Although under immense pressure and risk, Sakai and others at Studio Pierrot wasn't publicly issued an apology or taken any drastic steps to halt production of the new sequel.

(SCREENGRAB COURTESY: The X Network, formerly Twitter)

One theory surrounding Sakai's decision by refusing to apologize or cancel the anime sequel suggests that the animators and Studio Pierrot are caught in a difficult predicament. While the threats and harassment are unjustifiable and reprehensible, some speculate that a public apology or cancellation could set a dangerous precedent for creators worldwide. It could embolden extremist fans to a rudeful, weaponize threats and harassments to exert control over the creative direction of their favorite series.

Moreover, Studio Pierrot may also be reluctant to abandon the 'Bleach' franchise altogether, regardless the movie or anime TV series. Bleach has been a significant source of revenue for the studio, and ending it abruptly could have severe financial consequences. Additionally, the studio may believe that addressing the toxic behavior through proper channels, such as reporting it to law enforcement and social media platforms, is a more responsible approach to handling the situation.

(SCREENGRAB COURTESY: The X Network, formerly Twitter)

The conventional crisis was garnered its Western attention, with international fans and fellow industry professionals expressing their support for the animators and condemning the harassment. However, as this situation unfolds, it raises critical questions about the state of cancelled culture and the responsibility of online social media platform like the X Network, to address this abusive behavior.

In light of these developments, the anime fandom of 'Bleach' is at a crossroads. There are many former and current anime fans at present -- who still cherish the series and the creators, however a vocal minority threatens to overshadow the positive aspects of the anime community due to their actions. The future of 'Bleach' and the well-being of its animators hang in the balance, as the world watches to see how this disturbing chapter unfolds.

Manhunt - Review

For my final blog, I wanted to take my analysis further and dive into one director’s work. That director being John Woo, who I also focused on in my last blog. The film that I watched was Manhunt, a Hong Kong action film that was released in 2017 and is featured on Netflix. The film follows the main character Du Qiu, a well-known lawyer who was wrongfully accused of the murder of a woman who had snuck into his home. The story follows as the investigation of this murder continues, being led by detective Satoshi Yamura and his partner, Rika, while Qiu continues to run away and go into hiding. There are several close calls of arrests, but none of which have happened for some time. During one set up, one of two assassins is tasked to shoot and kill Qiu while he is meeting with Sakai, but she does not follow through and aims for Sakai instead. This was because earlier in the film, Qiu had been very kind to her, so she felt guilt over the idea of being the one to kill him. This choice allows him to flee once again and look for safety. The action intensifies as the story continues, and more and more are revealed about the corruption taking place with a new drug that is being developed. Fortunately, the end of the movie reveals that it is indeed not Qiu who was responsible for the murder, and that he was framed by those in power over the pharmaceutical company. The following is a video of the official trailer of Manhunt:

youtube

As shown in the trailer, and assumed by any Woo fan, this film did not fall short of violence. The entirety of the film kept me on my toes, and I was desperate for more! It is safe to say too, that this film was quite on par with his other films. His choices of visuals were quite spectacular, and very lively. Likewise, he tends to have very similar character types in relation to violence in his films (Michael, et al. 2001). I think the writing choices of the plotline were also very well thought out. There were certain aspects of the film that I expected, but others that were not which were great for viewing purposes. For example, I knew that the murder was likely conducted by the people from the pharmaceutical company, but never did I think it would be over the drug. Furthermore, I think the cinematography was very intentional with how the shots focused on certain characters, especially in the action sequences. There was never a missed opportunity to see the perspectives of all those involved in the violence.

Though I felt quite strongly about the film, it is important to note that I was not as familiar with Woo’s work prior to this semester. With that, it is also important to note that other critics felt slightly different than I did after watching the film. Simon Abrams, a freelance film critic out of New York, gave the film three stars and wrote, “Woo's exceptionally well-choreographed action scenes prove that he can still deliver what fans have come to expect from him. But "Manhunt" is also defined by the same out-of-time sappiness and melodramatic excesses that have defined Woo’s body of work since "A Better Tomorrow," his definitive breakout hit. So don't call "Manhunt" a comeback: it's got too much of Woo's worse habits to be much more than a bracing trip down memory lane... But "Manhunt" generally holds together rather well and is bound to keep Woo's most faithful fans happy. I'm not so sure if the film's thrilling, super-cut-worthy action scenes are good enough for anyone else to wade through, though. And Woo's has out-of-time style been a little unfashionable, particularly because of his sappy belief in a bro-friendly code of honor. But "Manhunt" is a welcome reminder that Woo is still a great filmmaker, one whose more eccentric qualities can also seem kitschy when viewed through an unsparing modern lens.” (Abrams 2018).

Another review by Peter Bradshaw from The Guardian gives the film four out of five stars, and stated, “Manhunt zooms and crashes along like a stick-shift car, with Woo at the wheel careening between action set pieces, broad comedy, champagne-swilling party scenes, flashbacks and swoony emotional moments. Of course it is a little absurd, and audiences are entitled to ask how Du Qui has not been implicated in Sakai’s drug conspiracy, especially as the bad guy clearly thinks that his lawyer knows enough to require taking out. But this film offers something that is never in sufficiently plentiful supply: fun.” (Bradshaw 2017).

One review that stuck to me was one from Jessica Kiang from Variety. In her review, she wrote, “Accusations of point-missing will no doubt fly thick and fast as doves from a newly demolished dovecote, from those who come to Woo solely for the action bona fides. But for those of us for whom the director’s best work, like the brilliant “Hard Boiled” or the transcendently ludicrous “Face/Off,” is marked out not just by superior gun-fu but by the disarming sincerity with which he always sold the silliness, “Manhunt” is a disappointment. The writing is desultory, the characters undeveloped and stakes are low, if you discount the vague anxiety that builds up whenever heartthrob Fukuyama has to deliver English dialogue: Though the ultimate triumph of good guys over bad guys is assured from the outset, sometimes his line readings, of zingers such as “There’s only one end for a fugitive — a dead end,” are so mangled that there’s moment-to-moment doubt as to whether he’ll make it to the end of the sentence.” (Kiang 2017).

Overall, these three reviews were not exactly the best that I have read for any film, however, they bring up great points and considerations that I did not think of when watching the film. It is interesting getting to view the different perspectives of those who critique films for their career, versus my position of being a student and having very limited experiences with film. That said, these were insightful! It was also good to gain a sense of what other critics look for in films. It was also ironic that one of the movie comparisons for Manhunt was Hard Boiled, which I discussed in my last post.

youtube

Overall, I would recommend this film to anyone who is looking for an interesting Woo watch. Though others did not necessarily acclaim this as one of his better watches, it is still one that is action packed, and fascinating to watch!

Icha just knows all of the A3 songs

All of them

Do you have an all-time favorite though or do you love them in rotation?

DMKFJDMFLF WELL. WELL!!

i love so many a3 songs it's unreal, but i admit i didn't keep much up to date with the latest songs released

i do have some old time favorite though yes! thanks for asking!

for a certain explanation: A3 is about a theater troupes. Character Solo and Troupe Songs are all songs about the characters themselves, while the Duet are in-characters song from the plays they feature. However each play is meant to deepen the characterization of the lead actors playing the characters and reflect a bit on their arcs

youtube

Scarlet Game by Hisoka (Junta Terashima) and Chikage (Wataru Hatano)

this is one of my most listened song of all time lmao

A Sherlock Holmes/Moriarty play, where both of the main player are played by adopted brothers who used to be estranged because they lived in a very toxic environment that costed the life of their elder brother, after one of the two almost destroyed the life of the other out of grief before realizing he was betraying his only family left.

This song is so good and also they're two of my favorite characters ever.

youtube

Shoutai by Azuma (Tetsuya Kakihara) and Tasuku (Takuya Sato)

also one of my favorite.

A lonely vampire who was found by a regular salary man as he was weak, who ended up living with him and feeding on him, using him, only to realize that he was starting to feel affection for the man who wanted to help him out of this loneliness, begging him to turn him into a vampire to follow him in this lonely life, until the vampire decides it's time to walk away so his friend can actually live fully, while the human promises he'll find him back no matter what. Beautiful song, mirroring Azuma's fear of getting close to people while also being desperate to hold on to them even though he keeps self isolating, and Tasuku's desperate attempt at actually supporting Azuma while also helping him out of his episodes when he suddenly pushes everyone away.

youtube

Unmask by Guy (Hino Satoshi) and Tsumugi (Tamaru Atsushi) 4th Winter Troupe Play

A Phantom of the Opera song, used mostly for Guy to reflect on the way he's been deshumanized to the point he fully shut himself off from emotions, and how his troupe reached back to him. Tsumugi also can relate to Christine but this is a deeper conversation to have ahah

youtube

The Contract by Taichi (Hama Kento) and Tsumugi (Tamaru Atsushi)

Selling your soul to the fallen angel Lucifer has never been hotter. A song reflecting on how those two characters were used and mentally manipulated in a very bad place by the leader of a troupe called the God troupe -- a troupe its formers members are described as "they were promised heaven but they only ended up in hell."

.... someone with knowledge of the saga will point out that those are all songs involving Winter Troupe members and listen. I can't help it. They fucking came to me.

but to be more fair with songs from other troupes:

youtube

Just For Myself by Omi (Kentarou Kumagai) and Taichi (Kento Hama)

A lone wolf in the apocalypse ending up charged with protecting an optimist girl who escaped experiments made on her, slowly learning to accept others people in his life. Mirroring Omi's difficult past and difficulty letting go of things that had happened to him, and Taichi's boundless optimism despite having been used the way he's been before.

youtube

Usotsuki wa Mahou no Hajimari, by Chikage (Wataru Hatano) and Sakuya (Koudai Sakai)

A Wizard of Oz themed song. A swindler fooling the whole world he came to to use them until he could leave, only to realize he ended up carrying about the people he intended to leave behind, who would believe in him no matter what. Reflecting Chikage's original bad intentions for the company and Sakuya's boundless optimism for Chikage to feel like family to this troupe.

Other honorable mentions. -The Pride of the Knights, Arthurian Knights themed song with Itaru (Shintarou Asanuma) and Chikage (Wataru Hatano)

-Es No Yuutsu, a detective story featuring Homare (Toshiyuki Toyonaga) and Hisoka (Junta Terashima)

-STEP, a ballet inspired song featuring Tasuku (Takuya Sato) and Homare (Toshiyuki Toyonaga)

-Bouquet, flowershop AU featuring Hisoka (Junta Terashima) and Tsumugi (Tamaru Atsushi)

-Meteor Trail, aiming for the moon and find yourself on the way, featuring Chikage (Wataru Hatano) and Tsuzuru (Koutarou Nishiyama)

-Q to Ju, the second song from the Sherlock Holmes play, Watson vs Moran, played by two brothers, Kumon (Tasuku Hatanaka) and Juza (Shunsuke Takeuchi)

-RESPAWN, a zombie apocalypse, featuring Azami (Seiya Konishi) Banri (Chiharu Sawashiro)

-Ichiya Kagiri No Aibou, a Noir Mafia Buddy song featuring Banri (Chiharu Sawashiro) and Juza (Shunsuke Takeuchi)

-Susume Pirate, a lighthearted pirate story, featuring Misumi (Daisuke Hirose) and Muku (Yoshitaka Yamaya)

-Omoide no Nejimaki, a sad story of an alchemist and his creation as they learn humanity, friendship, and a tragic end with a promise of reunion one day, featuring Tsuzuru (Koutarou Nishiyama) and Citron (Masashi Igarashi)

-Exciting Charmer, a sport story about having the strength to go back to what you used to love and enjoy your youth, featuring Kumon (Tasuku Hatanaka) and Tenma (Eguchi Takuya)

-Continuation of the Grand Stay, which is one of the story i didn't actually read but the song slaps so hard, featuring Azuma (Tetsuya Kakihara) and Guy (Satoshi Hino)

-Yoi no Mikazuki, which i also didn't read the story of but i really like, featuring Citron (Masashi Igarashi) and Guy (Satoshi Hino)

-Professional, it's the second song for this specific play, specifically the song of the antagonists in a fashion show. Featuring Masumi (Shirai Yusuke) and Tenma (Eguchi Takuya)

ok the list got out of hands and i'm not done but this should be quicker

-Cross Line, Tsumugi's second solo (Tamaru Atsushi), and managing to move forward with your passion after having been terrified to do so

-Beyond the Wall, Tasuku's first solo (Takuya Sato), a direct response to Keyword, and the promise to not let misunderstanding get in the way of the bonds that are important to you.

-Traumerei to Kuhaku, Hisoka's first solo (Junta Terashima), or the disconnect from the world or an amnesiac, seeing yourself in an haze, terrified to learn about the things you forgot, and wondering if you can allow yourself to accept the love you're being given

-Nachtmusik to Hakugetsu, Hisoka's second solo (Junta Terashima), and dealing with the aftermath of waking up and remembering, grieving, and what is now in front of you, and accepting this love

-Theater of Eternity, by Reni (Ryoutarou Okiayu), the main antagonist's song, which just slaps. listen. I don't have something clever to say about everyone.

-Nitou Joutou, by Haruto, (Mitsuhiro Ichiki), one of the first antagonist of the story, ex friend of Tasuku, always Number Two. Honestly mostly linking this one because its seiyuu is Icarus's va in Gbf, which you may also know as "the honorary skyfarer", aka the VA who was invited to every fest before he even played a role in GBF because he is one of the most dedicated fan and player of Granblue.

so yknow i started this ask thinking "i can keep it short i don't like THIS many songs) but then well. well. Things went out of my hands. I'm sorry. or not.

Honestly just go with the vibes of the descriptions for what you'd want to try out.

.... but maybe knowing Hisoka, Chikage and Azuma are my favorite characters would indicate a lot for you. And the Winter Troupe is my fav troupe.

Or looking for characters sharing seiyuu in a3, here's a good idea.

.... yeah i'm sorry, i swear it's not all the songs, but, you know,,,

THE MORE YOU KNOW thanks for letting me ramble.

#ichareply #anonymous #ichafantalks a3 #'im going to keep it short' and top ten lies i still try to tell myself

The novel doesn’t have an official printed release but a manga adaptation, with illustrations by Ryosuke Fuji, has been serialized by Kodansha in its Shonen Magazine Comics since 2020. Kodansha USA is publishing it in English.Crunchyroll licensed the anime outside of Japan, describing the plot as:“When was the last time I played a game that wasn’t crap?” This is a world in the near future where games that use display screens are classified as retro. Anything that can’t keep up with state-of-the-art VR technology is called a “crap game,” and you see a large number of crap games coming out. Those who devote their lives to clearing these games are called “crap-game hunters,” and Rakuro Hizutome is one of them. The game he’s chosen to tackle next is Shangri-La Frontier, a “god-tier game” that has a total of thirty million players. Online friends… An expansive world… Encounters with rivals… These are changing Rakuro and all the other players’ fates! The best game adventure tale by the strongest “crap game” player begins now!Source: Official Website© Katarina, Ryosuke Fuji, Kodansha / “Shangri-La Frontier” Production CommitteeAfter AnimeCorner
