Ep 25 thoughts!!!

I wanted to make a full post since this is the last one for a while 😩 I also wanted to talk specifically about the dub

If you haven’t been watching Caitlin Glass’s fave moments from the reboot she’s been posting on twitter, i hiiiiighly suggest watching them bc she’s been dropping these amazing insights + behind the scenes stories from the recording process! there’s been some verrrry interesting little tidbits 👀

For starters, when recording this scene with laura, she had the idea that tohru suggests kyo and kazuma spar not because kyo would like it, but because shE would like it??! (same)

and it makes her “YES YES YES” reaction that much sweeter? (i mean she’s def reacting to multiple things but finally seeing her bf spar is one of them)

bitch same!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(@ her little happy hop, the realization that this is how their scenes are gonna be from now on hit me like a freakin TRAIN lmao i was Overcome)

shout out to the writing team, bc kyo’s speech just hits different in the dub. 1. bc jerry jewell owns my ass 2. bc the writing was put through teen boy filter and it just feels soooooooooo much more REAL.

“...I’ve messed up so many times, and i know i’ve still got a long way to go, but someday... someday i’ll be stronger. strong enough to stand on my own. i promise! i’ll stop doing stupid stuff. I wont hurt you or be a burden to you anymore. And when that happens, I’ll be worthy of calling you my father! I’ll be that man, someday. Watch me!”

LIKE COME ONNNNNNNNN!!!! mostly i just love that added line of kyo admitting that he does stupid shit. BABY

FULL CLOWN BUT THAT IS THE SAME OUTFIT SAME BANDAGES yell

hhhhhhhhh everyone has talked about this but hhrg something about the way they staged it for the reboot, it just hits different!! the way we see them from each other’s POV makes me FEEL a way..... tohru sweetie that’s your future!!! that’s your family!! and the way they look at HER. aghhhhhHHHHH and then she HOPS OVER TO JOIN THEM LIKE!!!!? poetic anime

YUKI

WHO COULD FORGET DEAR RAT BOY!!!! Agh sweetie..... I feel like Yuki can *feel* his storyline diverging from the other two. up until this point it’s been the three of them as a unit- him and kyo rescuing tohru and all 3 walking back hand in hand, new years as a trio (which never happens again smh ;__;) idk how conscious of a thought that is for him but like, isn’t that the most relatable thing? Everyone knows what that feels like. I always loved the hard cut from the warmth of the true form resolution to yuki alone tying his tie ;____; baby. clean your room.

(also is that a knocked over pile of clean laundry by his bed? same)

hhhhhhg a tiny thing but the difference in read of this line from pre to post true form kyo.... chef’s kiss. the delivery is so much softer and gentler, he’s still admonishing her but from a place of pure ADORATION and AFFECTION!!!! get a room

and she knows hee hee

THEY ARENT EVEN [REDACTED] YET get a room

speaking of staging Hhhhhhh HHHHHH chefs kiss

yuki beats the shit out of you POV

SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPpppppppppppp is there literally anything better ;__;

I don’t have much to say abt this scene but I love that tohru giving him the simple “okay” in response to all of his worries and insecurities is what allows him to literally step up to her level ;___; Also that this ep has both kyo and yuki give their big mission statements to their parental figures ;__; (calling tohru yuki’s ‘parental figure’ is too much of a blanket statement but u get me)

*tohru thinking about how yuki just poured his heart out to her* :)

*makes it about kyo* :)

but for realsies i’m so glad we got tohru’s monologue abt how kyo and yuki make her heart want to burst ;____; same bitch

I LITERALLY, in real life, screamed. IM SO GLAD they left this as a surprise, they really got us smh

same. i cant even hate kagura for her cartoony outbursts bc im always like... same

FUCKING DIEDDDD AT THIS DELIVERY i love the dub I LOVE THE DUB

chills. the building music... the foreboding writing.. the dreamy visuals... this felt like takaya coming to life in a way that we haven’t really seen yet. What a perfect episode. the reboot is overwhelmingly more comfortable w new manga content than it is with previously covered content, and this episode proves that yet again. I’m so glad we are finally out of 01 territory, and i’m sure the production team is too. You can FEEL their excitement in these last shots. I can’t help but feel so so so so so so overwhelmingly LUCKY to be alive in a world where fruits basket exists lmao... and I know u guys feels the same ;__;

Nowww we wait.... lol. Hopefully a trailer will come our way soon, I looked back and saw that the first season 1 trailer was released in december for an april premiere date... hrrrrg. help.

King of Prism SSS episode 4 commentary (Kakeru)

Ahhhh.... finally seeing this episode again after a long time was really good. You may think I’m just being over-dramatic, but I honestly think I felt normal again for the first time since seeing SSS Part 4 while I was watching the stream with you guys. Like halfway through I was like WOAH IM SMILING... ahah....... ha......... Part 4 messed me up even more than I thought holy s--

Thanks for always coming to the streams! And thank you Kakeru, for reminding me about love.....

*deep breath* Now, let’s get to it...

So like I mentioned last time, we’re now on what I know as the “Part 2″ episodes.

My experience seeing Part 2 in the theater was like night and day compared to seeing Part 1. For Part 1 I got to go to the midnight showing, and it was super emotional and exciting seeing it with an entire theater-worth of people also seeing it for the first time.

But for Part 2 I had to work until 1am and thus couldn’t make the midnight showing. Instead I slept for about 2-3 hours, went all the way to Nagoya, saw this at 8am, went all the way home, and went back to bed before waking up again to go to work at 4pm wondering if it was all a weird dream. So needless to say I was super out of it. I got about two minutes into Kakeru’s episode when I was like... wha... huh..... wait wha....... and comical sweat-beads started rolling down my forehead when I realized I had NO idea what was going on. I felt like the entire theater was just as out of it as I was since they were really quiet. Probably because most of them went to the midnight showing and got just about as much sleep as I did....

The whole what is going onnnnnnnn feeling never quite left me. Especially with this episode in particular. But.

My favorite feature of Kakeru has always been his eyes....

So seeing him go through 8 stages of acceptance in this opening always gives me chills....

OH MY FUCKING G..............

So in the past I have railed on Crunchyroll for their wonky wording, but this is the first outright mistranslation I think. (Unless “solid style” wasn’t on purpose, but that one was so ridiculous I kinda feel like it may have been....)

If you have seen Pride the Hero, you’ll know Kakeru doesn’t leak the Prism System to his friends. He leaks it to the Itsutomo Group.

To be fair Sadana doesn’t say Itsutomo Group here. Just Itsutomo. But still, what did the translator think the “Itsu” part meant? They leave so many things as-is, but this... THIS they decide to attempt to translate into something.

Okay. OKAY...................................

I really, really like Kakeru’s dad. But not for anything he does in the movies/anime. He’s a super boring pushover here. But if you take Young of Prism and layer it on top of all that..... he’s fucking great.

I was so out of it when I first saw this the entire natural gas plot went over my head. I was just like “Episode 5: Kakeru goes to Madagascar. Does a prism show. Then he comes back for some reason. The end?????”

I also missed the earlier reference as well. To think when Kakeru looks at the newspaper in episode 1 and is like “Natural gas is expensive!!” that was foreshadowing ahah.

So this is the most controversial part of the episode I think. Globalization/colonization/industrialism has done damage lot of nations which were just fine beforehand, and I think paving over all of Africa’s natural habitats would likely cause.... various problems.

Do I really have any right to be commentating on this? No. But I don’t think King of Prism does either. I just don’t think it’s really the time/place for it.

But all-in-all I suppose Merina’s opinion isn’t too unusual for someone who works for Juuouin Group. I just wish they made it more clearer that his opinion and not the general opinion of Madagascar.

But then again what do I know. I really don’t even want to be talking about this!! It was just such a weird choice to take this episode to Madagascar at all.

This brought me so much joy. Please go read Young of Prism if you haven’t yet.

NNghkdhgkdhg baby Kakeru................. face......... uuuUUUgfh and his cute little voice...........

I also often wonder what Kakeru was doing in Kodama’s office in the first place. He’s not actually his uncle I believe.

My headcanon is that his mother dropped him off there one day when she was busy with something and needed someone to watch him quickly, then Kodama-san’s office just gradually became Kakeru’s daycare.

In cheering people will point up one concert light shaking with increasing intensity. Usually orange because nobody knows what other color to use.

.......GGDGDGDGdksl;fl;sgs.......... AHHHHHHHHHH.....HHH........hhhhhhhhh.. K.....

Crunchyroll agrees with me that Kakeru’s father is “Momojiro”. I know that’s the most likely reading, I’m just really bothered and concerned that there is just no furigana for it anywhere.

And behold, my favorite Kakeru face of all time.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh poor baby you were so pure back then

And behold my second favorite Kakeru face of all time aahaha

Okay now is as good a time as ever to bring it up, but.

I’m a bit disappointed that young Kakeru doesn’t wear glasses.

Because most kids get glasses before middle school if they are going to get them, don’t they? It makes me worry Kakeru’s glasses are just an image thing.

I mean he’s certainly frikkin adorable without them, but I dunno.... It made me weirdly happy to learn that Hiro wears contacts in episode 1.

I just want visually impaired comrades in my anime I guess!!!

Or maybe he just went without for longer than he should have by memorizing the eye test by listening to the kid in front of him like I did.

Kakeru can you see I’m worried about you.

Okay I’ll move on......

So someone pointed this out in the stream, but he doesn’t really say “mood” here. He says “kao iro” which would translate more into like... health? I don’t know. I honestly have no idea what he was getting at and it’s always puzzled me.

Oh the controversy.....

Okay so, that whole non-issue aside. About the rest of this scene.

I am not particularly offended by it for two reasons.

First...

Kakeru’s grandfather is giving him important life advice while his face is IN A BOOB

YOU CANT TAKE THIS SHIT SERIOUSLY COME ON

King of Prism has a tenancy to pair serious moments with ridiculous visuals that nearly ruin them on purpose and it’s a whole other level of humor ahah. There is an even better example of this in the next episode.......

Secondly...

KEI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN

In the theater people hold up two light blue lights as soon as she rises up and then go nuts. It’s the best.

While most of the other characters were inspired by watching male prism stars like Hijiri or Rei, Kakeru watched mostly the girls and I get a kick out of that. We have already known he’s their fan for a while due to his Blowin’ in the Mind ringtone and side materials saying he has their magazines in his room, etc.

“What” - cheering audience

So if you look up “kakeru” in a Japanese-English dictionary, you’ll know it has.... a lot of meanings. And since they always write the boys’ names in katakana (to make it ambiguous I guess) you can never know for sure.

Here we confirmed for the first time it is intended to be 翔 = to fly/soar

This is a theme throughout SSS. How much Shin changed things for everyone............(I’ll come back to this)............

LOVE

So I guess when Kakeru got back from Madagascar Leo was like “So what do you want for your Prism One outfit?” and he was like “Make me a flamingo” and Leo was like “......You got it.”

Or maybe Leo was already like half done with Kakeru’s outfit and then he just burst in the door like “LEO I NEED TO BE A FLAMINGO--”

I only have one bad thing to say about Kakeru’s prism show and it has nothing to do with Kakeru’s prism show. I noticed that his legwork is really similar to Taiga’s, which was when I realized for the first time that it’s the same person doing all the motion capture. So that kind of brought me back to reality a little bit. But oh well. That person is really fucking talented.

They have been talking about Kakeru doing a prism jump where he’s naked with a pile of money for YEARS. HE DID IT. I’ve seen it in manga, I’ve seen it on Prism Rush... BUT THIS

Also how similar this is to the Prism Rush version amazes me...

CYALUME CH--

.....So I guess the translators haven’t watched PriPara either huh.

Wait is this even supposed to be for “Cyalume Change” because the subtitle is at such weird timing.

Also I felt bad afterwards about putting “CYALUME CHANGE” as one of my shitty out of context spoilers ahah. I hope I didn’t ruin it for anyone. At least I didn’t say what episode it was. My hope is that anyone who read it has been waiting to be blindsided by CYALUME CHANGE and it came at the best possible moment.

The first couple times I saw this episode I really wondered how cheering would go since so much of this episode is just business mumbo jumbo and if a lot of people would even show up for Part 2 cheering at all.

But then after about a week in I found myself waiting in the lobby before a sold out cheering show and saw a girl whip out a giant pink feathery fan.

Then the girl next to her was like hold my beer and took out a giant (fake) money fan.

Never underestimate Kakeru fangirls is a lesson I have learned over and over and over again.

A lot of people will also have three or four pink concert lights in one hand and an orange one or a color changing one in the other for this part ahah.

PAINT IT ORANGE PAINT IT ORANGE

(The lyrics to this song are nonsense. But it’s Kakeru, you can’t expect anything less.)

Prism shows with jungle animals are always a good time. (I can’t help but think of Shi Yoon.)

And there you have it, Kakeru saved the entire country of Madagascar.... with his prism show........ let’s not..... let’s not think too hard about this........

I suppose there are multiple ways this could be true so I shouldn’t be thinking too hard about this either. But.

The debut of the Leo pigtails.

Well actually I think he had them earlier in the episode too, but this was the first time I noticed.

Nothing warms my heart more than the few times Taiga throws Kakeru a bone by showing him the tiniest bit of affection. Even if it’s tsundere. Look at him. He’s just so happy. Aw Kakeru. Good for you.

I think this moment was kinda ruined by the new ending music though. In the theater it’s more quiet.

So I have always kinda felt like the Part 2 episodes are a bit weak compared with Part 1 and Part 3, but that’s probably a bit unfair considering how I experienced them. All of them grew on me more with time. It was also kind of hard coming down off of Taiga’s episode. After Taiga’s was so high tension I kinda expected the same for Kakeru too, but they went in a totally different direction. It was nothing like I thought it would be.

Before it aired I wondered if it would be about Kakeru trying to decide if spending his life in the Juuouin Group was right for him or not. And he did question it at one point when he was younger, but unless I misinterpreted it this episode was more about him loosing what he had and trying to get it back? He had doubts in his mind at one time about whether love exists, but he already came to believe it does before the events of this episode. So I guess Kakeru really has no doubt in his mind about what he wants for his future. You know, I think I like that better. I worry about him burning out with all the stuff he does, but it really does seem to be his true calling.

I find it rather sad that the Edel Rose boys never found out Kakeru’s backstory though. Instead he shares it with Merina. He couldn’t even tell them he was leaving. But then again, Minato quickly interpreted that it was probably too difficult for him, I’m sure he was right. The other boys seemed to understand and support him regardless. Kakeruuuuuuuuu...............

In side materials it’s kinda of hinted at here and there that Kakeru really wants to be more like Minato. He wants to be someone strong who supports everyone. He also really seems to not want to show any weakness to anyone, especially his friends....? (As I’m typing this I’m thinking back to the White Day event on Prism Rush when he was trying so hard to organize everything while also trying his hardest to hide that he was falling apart......) I guess he picked this up in the business world as well. Because of this I still feel there is a lot to Kakeru we still don’t know.

Well. Since I remembered this time and I liked this one: The special video for this episode that they show in the theaters has a voice over describing Kakeru’s intense schedule on a normal day.

But apparently on weekends he does no work at all. He gets caught up on manga and then plays with his friends. They showed a lot of stills of him hanging out with the Edel Rose boys, but my favorite and the one I remember the most was him playing arcade games with Shin (on a mysteriously PriPara-looking cabinet.... I think it was a fighting game though?)

Also Kakeru has a secret trunk in his room which must never be opened.

Ask Game Mission

hhhhhhhhh the fourth mission already got posted and im only doing the third one whyamilikethis

1. Which 3 members of Ateez would you get on well with the most, and why?

I feel like I’d get on well with Mingi and Wooyoung, cause they’re loud and outgoing and I tend to feel at ease with people like that, but I also feel like me and Yeosang would have some kind of mutual understanding...? I’m not sure how to describe it, but we’d probably be silently roasting the others together while standing in a corner with our arms crossed, chin between thumb and index finger and nodding our heads in sync askdfjla yes i have a very detailed image of this in my head, why?

2. If you were to take your bias(es) somewhere in your hometown/ the place you live where would you go?

My hometown is super small, I wouldn’t even dare to call it a town tbh lol... tbh really the only exciting (?) place one can take someone to in my hometown is the apparently haunted house pretty much in the middle of it which reminds me I don’t even know if Yeosang is scared of that stuff or not but I mean... I am, so either way I can cling to him the whole time while we’re there kajfkla

3. What genre of movie would you watch with each member?

horror with everyone so i can see who’s scared and who can deal with it xD

4. Which Ateez member do you personally relate to?

not really anyone tbh...? At least not on a level where it has any significance in my life... I don’t really know them deeply enough to have that kind of connection with one of them or to see myself in them (disappointing answer, I know, but tbh I have that with almost no idol so it’s all good)

5. What is your favorite live stage from Ateez?

the Light performance they did when I saw them live - each of them just looked so ethereal and it was beautiful hhhh;;;; (Light is my favourite Ateez song, that’s also part of the reason)

6. Do you have any similarities you share with any member?

I just reread my unhelpful guide I did for them and was reminded that Yeosang like grapes... does that count?

Also San’s love for plushies~

7. Which member would you switch bodies for a day?

Jongho. I want to know what it feels like to have that much power over fruit.

8. Which member makes you laugh the most?

I mostly just facepalm when watching them sakfjskl but Mingi’s probably a strong contender for that position

9. Which member would you trust to dye your hair?

m-maybe Seonghwa... maybe...

11. What fruit do you associate the members with?

Hongjoong: apples...?

Seonghwa: wym steak isn’t a fruit

Yunho: ...apples again aklfjldsak OR A PINEAPPLE

Yeosang: Grapes of course

San: chilis aren’t fruit unfortunately

Mingi: Lychees

Wooyoung: Cherries...? Don’t ask why.. or plums...

Jongho: Apples of course... Watermelons as well after watching their ep on Weekly Idol... but oranges too... actually I just associate him with fruit overall.

13. Is there a (not ateez) song that makes you think of a member?

hhhh not really...?

14. Is there a hairstyle you really want to see on your bias?

White hair, undercut. Yes I like death.

15. Which member would you choose to accompany you on a long car ride?

Yeosang or Jongho cause they seem like they’d be silent aksjdflaks

16. What food would you love to cook for a member?

I want my dad to teach me how he makes his super delicious steak and then I wanna cook that for Seonghwa (but of course I’m willing to make some for everyone)

17. Which member would you choose to put an outfit together for you?

Hongjoong. Because I feel like we have a 50/50 chance he fucks it up, and I want to see just how badly he can fuck it up.

18. Rank your bias’ looks throughout all Ateez eras.

KQ < Say my Name < Pirate King < Wave (says me, the pink hair enthusiast, but the wavy hair with the blonde tips is just skjflksjflak it fits him too well ok)

19. Who do you think has the best eyebrows in Ateez?

Seonghwa.

20. What job do you think would suit each member if they weren’t idols?

what jobs are there except for starving artist and unhappy office-worker...?

Hongjoong: producer (which he kinda is anyway)

Seonghwa: a chef...?

Yunho: maths teacher. Don’t ask why, it just came to mind.

Yeosang: the starving exchange-student worker at Sanrio who barely gets paid anything and has to do everything he doesn’t want to for his older coworkers in hopes of getting to design their next big character someday

San: honestly idk what industry he could possibly survive in if it’s not entertainment kasjflkas so let’s say comedian...? TV host? News reporter? smth like that

Mingi: what do you call the people that help set up booths/stages/etc. for events? That one. Defo something where he can use that excessive energy he has lol

Wooyoung: an office worker... I know it’s kinda boring but just imagine him in a navy-colored suit wearing glasses

Jongho: bodybuilder policeman or a bodyguard or a bouncer or smth ig kjflkas or a scientist....

#atiny anon project #this was actually kinda difficult #i haven't properly watched any of their shows in so loooong #i need to remind myself of their characters akjdflska
