I used to make videos about anime and it disappointed my parents. Now I play Melee (Peach), which disappoints them just as much. He/Him | Main:

What is Kumiko and Reina's future together?
In my latest short I take a look at
#Anime_Eupho
's newest op and at what it has to say about KumiRei's relationship.
💙🎺:
Spy x Family understands that heroes aren’t men w/ guns, but rather mothers, sisters and fathers that create safe homes. Simple gestures of love go father than spies ever could.
Loid feeling the safety of his mother during war time in Yor makes this perfect. Spy family gets it.
Wonder Egg is marching towards “All-Time Great” status. The animation gets better and better and the storyboards have remained outstanding.
Its special to watch a masterpiece bloom before our eyes

“Yuri has nothing to do with LGBT. It's a western misconception. It's more about purity/innocence. Girls in yuri stories most of the time aren't lesbian. To put it bluntly: they just fool around, but actually crave a man. If they were lesbians the appeal of yuri would be lost.”
I fell in love with the new Fire Emblem Heroes art for Edelgard so much that I wanted to edit her in a painting because it's what she deserves. SHE IS SO REGAL. Bless Haccan for their incredible art
Haikyuu is about sports yes but just like live sports its about the people who play them as much as it is the game.
How do these amazing athletes respond to adversity? Why does winning matter? Sports is theater of the human condition and Haikyuu *gets* that so emphatically
Princess Mononoke absolutely blew me, it stands with Grave Of The Fireflies as Ghibli’s best to me and certainly Miyazaki’s peak. It has one of the most nuanced takes on environmentalism I have ever seen packaged with a stunning ost and storybords. Anime is good sometimes
Bocchi The Rock is truly a tapestry of creative ambition often not seen the wasteland of seasonal anime.
A reminder that this medium is like no other in the hands of people that love it
The releasing of names is so hard. Scrolling through lists is torturous and my heart is heavy for the people and families of those who changed my life. From background artists to directors. I love you. Thank you for bringing the stories that resonates to life
KyoAni is the industry fucking standard. They way they got there is by NOT taking shortcuts, by creating environments of learning and love.
MAPPA is looking for the fastest way to get there. The irony would be exquisite if not so sad for how they run their bussiness.
SHAFT HOW GOATED KYOANI HAS BEEN AND THEY SAID HOLD MY FUCKING BEER WATCH THIS
Absolutely unreal work for them. First Pretty Boys and now this. SHAFT IS BACK
Was thinking how Haruka really had the hardest presidency so far. Shes not a natural leader and had to bridges the band and Taki, Asuka drama, and everyones first real competition.
Got to nationals tho, MY FUCKING BUCHOU
So I did a thing. Made a version of Fly Me To The Stars with the pairs of fate. Gave every girl a solo and spliced it all together. Hope you all enjoy!

Liz and the Bluebird
Dir. Naoko Yamada
Agonizing in its depiction of love and parting, Liz articulates the beauty and horrors of our deepest and most intimate feelings. It’s Yamada’s magnum opus and a film that could only exist within Kyoto Animation. A masterpiece unlike any.

Mob’s quality is not one afforded by “budget,” it’s by a healthy production schedule like this.
Remember that next time you crack a money joke for animation because the animators never see a cent of that.
This is a top 5 anime music performance scene ever for me. Just the lyrics, the music, Tuesday’s brother leaving knowing full well how special that was. Roddy’s words at the end. All of it
Great Pretender’s second act is absolutely fucking masterful and galaxy brained in the best way possible.
The way its loose ends were tied together was **chef’s kiss and its art is at the forefront for any production award this year
Anime is really fucking cool
Went to England on the Fourth of July and went to roll for Castoria at King Arthur’s grave then paid respects to her and and Merlin at the tower.
The ultimate catalyst. Got her on my first pull
No higher praise from Kumiko than say anyone has surpassed Asuka. Perhaps the only person she respects more is Reina herself. The pov shot from behind to invoke the imagery of the former VP is not lost.
Brilliant.
#anime_eupho
What are the cost of ideals?
Both Edelgard and Lelouch started revolutions, but what was it all for and ultimately were they in the right? A look at the complex political stories of Code Geass and Fire Emblem Three Houses
Watch ✊♟:
Miorine, Prospera & Eri have taken agency out of Suletta’s hands. Any will was planted in her by Prospera, she has nothing; identity, a bride or Aerial.
But like Utena, it wasnt Akio who planted the idea of prince in Utena, it was a promise to Anthy. Suletta’s end game is clear
Hibike! Euphonium 3 Ep 5
Dir/SB: Taichi Ishidate
To believe in love is to believe it will endure.
Do you think what we have is special? Thats why we are both here right now.
As the seasons change and time marches forward love finds a way. They are soulmates

@Crunchyroll
disabling screenshots has killed the zeitgeist for seasonals to the degree it once was.
Fewer people find out about hidden gems and truly its what ended my posting about seasonals. Not jumping through hoops to get a screenshot i want. Such a dogshit decision
I miss heyday anitwitter so bad... You guys used to do all the work for me of sorting through a new anime season and I would eventually pick up the ones you couldn't stop gushing about. I'm so much less motivated to watch new anime without the community hype 😢
Thinking of how Ushio named the tracks in Liz.
In particular reflexion, allegretto, you.
Legitimately so heartbreaking and uplifting to call THAT song of all that. Best film ever made.

No one like Reina Kousaka. No one. I love how those scene reestablishes the most important ethos of Eupho. To follow our passions and pish ourselves to be the best we could ever imagine.
It means alot coming from Reina, she is the Kitauji ace. My GOAT
#anime_eupho
PenguinDrum Ep 9
Director/Storyboards: Nobuyuki Takeuchi
Maybe the greatest episode of anime ever made. Every once in a while, anime gives you something that is a reminder of why this medium is unlike anything we have. An absolute masterpiece
"Sound! Euphonium" TV Anime Season 3 New Trailer Reveal!
Air Date: April 2024
Animation Studio: Kyoto Animation
The 3rd High School Year of Kumiko Oumae.
Kumiko believes in what she has with Reina so much. She doesnt make guarantees but tells Reina to believe in eachother.
Its so honest and beautiful. I love Eupho, i love how it understands the scary things our hearts tell us and treats them gently with grace.
#anime_eupho
Every frame in a Kyoani show is so evidently made with so much love. The colors, the lighting, character nuances. Everything. This is why we love this studio
More of Princess Mononoke’s wonderful storyboards, highlighed by the tour of the iron works. PM has an incredible commentary on gendered labor, a subversion of gender roles helmed by a woman. She used her captial and bought women out of brothels and gave them guns and freedom
Utena Ep 29
Director: Yoshiaki Iwasaki
Storyboards: Mamoru Hosoda
Juri doesnt seek power for herself but is ultimately undone by the one she wants power for. The car is not driven in her duel and her defeat is self inflicted. Masterpiece of an episode by Hosoda
Men out here doing gymnastics to discredit victims or excusing Vic’s behavior are just the worst. So many men have overstepped line and they just wanna moralize that they werent wrong to feel better about themselves. Y’all gross
Its the voice work by Moyo and Chika Anzai that REALLY bring this home. The animation and character animation are absolutely a-1 but the genuine chemistry they have is astounding.
#anime_eupho
Studio Culture in anime discourse is so pervasive and it ignores so much.
The staff for Bocchi, TPN and WEP were all different. Some studios have an ethos about them and share staff on projects, but most aren’t like that. Especially one that is a subsidiary of a massive studio
@SubtitledAnime
Shocking how the studio that fumbled both wonder egg and promised Neverland managed to crank out Bocchi the Goat.
At least Cloverworks seemed to have redeemed themselves somewhat
I love these small details like Kumiko’s cactus aging over the two years the story has taken place. Reminds us how far we have been in her life for. KyoAni just the greatest to ever so it
#anime_eupho
Hibike! Euphonium 3 Ep 3
Dir/SB: Mei Isai
Solo debut from Isai, Kyoani’s future is in wonderful capable hands. Much like the Kitauji band, the kids are gonna be okay as Kumiko learns from the mistakes of her predecessors to move forward. Thats heritage.
#anime_eupho
Hibike! Euphonium 3 Ep 1
Dir/SB: Taichi Ogawa
As I sit here to try to articulate what I feel, it just becomes so apparent that there no words to adequately describe love. It’s something we feel and resonates. It matters. I love Eupho and I’m so glad it’s back.
#anime_eupho
Japan Sinks: 2020 is one of the most unique anime I have ever seen; atmospheric, thrilling, fun and at times profound. YouTubers and gamers redeemed?? All packaged in maybe Kensuke Ushio's best tv OST. There is something haunting about watching the world fall apart to Ushio music
One of my fav things about the ep is how despite Reina’s hard nature being at the center of the eps conflict Kumiko never asked her to change. The final word of the ep is Kumiko affirming who Reina is to her.
Kitauji isnt Kitauji without everyone.
#anime_eupho
Kumiko’s dad drinking a stiff one after work while Kumiko is baby has a glass of milk was not lost on me either. She has matured alot but she is young
#anime_eupho
I LOVE how the piece chosen like Liz has so much thematic weight. The op shows Reina and Kumiko enduring the seasons, staying together.
It ties all its threads together. Reina’s fears, how it plays into the story of the music and the Euph Trumpet soli
#anime_eupho
The match cut by Ishidate here is perfection. In an episode where Kumiko is under siege contemplating her future its the rumination of her past, or as Kumiko called it her beginning, to guide her to the answer she needs.
Brilliant. Just perfect
#anime_eupho
This is one of the rawest displays of power conveyed in anime for me. How dominant Maya is, how much you can feel. How she is framed. Her singing. Karen’s overwhemed face. Tendou Maya is amazing
Wonder Egg is marching towards “All-Time Great” status. The animation gets better and better and the storyboards have remained outstanding.
Its special to watch a masterpiece bloom before our eyes

Hibike! Euphonium 3 Ep 2
Dir/SB: Taysuya Ishihara
Kumiko, struggling to stand under the weight of expectations has an epiphany, she isnt alone. As stormy clouds clear for the beautiful post shower sun her partner was illuminated, she had never left her side.
#anime_eupho
As someone who is really putting their all into trying to get better at Melee this hit so hard.
Eupho more than anything is about finding identity through passion. With heavy investment you open yourself to be disappointed and hurt by yourself which hurts the most.
