You totally should watch the Masaki Yuasa movies!
Tumblr media
A couple of months ago, I did this thing where I watched a couple of anime movies, that had gone under my radar. Because let's face it: Outside of franchise related anime movies, we will mostly be aware of Studio Ghibli, Makoto Shinkai and Mamoru Hosoda. Other anime movies will often not be talked about in western anime spaces.
So, I consulted AniChart and just went through all sorts of anime movies, that were barely talked about.
The first of those was Ride Your Wave. And as @udaberriwrites, who got my life reaction, can tell you: This movie went places. It was one of the rare examples where there was a straight romance in an anime movie that I totally could get behind. A romance I found romantic. (Maybe not that much of a surprise, given the screenplay was bei Reiko Yoshida, who... just was a big influence on me. I loved so much of her stuff as a kid.) And then I looked at the timestamp of the movie. 25 minutes out of 96. And I went like: "One of them is gonna die, right?" And yes, I was right. So, I thought it was going to be a movie about moving on after loosing a loved person. Maybe about finding new love. But... Let me tell you, that was not were this movie went. Instead it just went on to be off the walls bonkers.
I am not going to spoil the movie for you. Just believe me: It is bonkers. And it is amazing. Really, really amazing.
Tumblr media
Now, the next movie on my watchlist was Inu-Oh. A movie in a really weird animation style that originally turned me off. But that had such compelling characters and in the end really alive animation, that it kinda just captured me.
Again, I do not want to spoil the movie to you. But it was certainly something.
Well, and then I realized that those two movies, that I just happened to watch one after the other had been made by the same director: Masaaki Yuasa.
Now I was intrigued and just put in the other movies by him over the next few days. One of them I had seen before: The Night is Short, Walk On Girl.
Tumblr media
And watching all those movies back, I could make out several things that tied them together. Mostly in terms of animation.
The characters are often very simplified, but the animation is very alive - actually following those old methods of animation, that would allow for characters to be off-model to show action. There is little in terms of shadows.
The characters are so lively. And it is just... nice to watch.
So, really. Watch the man's movies and anime. He also had done Devilman Crybaby, by the way. It is most certainly something else. Especially his movies.
The movies are:
The Night is Short, Walk on Girl Lu Over the Wall Ride your Wave Japan Sinks: 2020 Inu-Oh
Have fun!

i'm watching Japan Sinks: 2020 and like it's good, but this dude breaks his glasses and the solution is they just give him the glasses off some other guy. Truly unmatched. Worst solution I've ever seen.

there is a scene in the second episode of japan sinks 2020 that’s clearly meant to be deeply upsetting and emotional
but the comedic timing is INCREDIBLE? like do you ever watch a death scene and have a full breakdown about it because you are laughing too hard

Spoilers for Japan Sinks: 2020
YO JAPAN SINKS: 2020 IS WILD- AN OLD DUDE ALMOST KILLED A LIKE 7 YEAR OLD WITH A BOW-
Main character's dad died in a gruesome way, and then the girl tagging along died- before that she almost got raped, had it not been for the fact she could kick ass and the MCs mom cutting in AND MC DISTRACTING THE GUY-
I liked that girl... but Kite is hot and the dude who apparently used to run or something is also hot

Sometime I think I’m just looking for reasons to suspect I have adhd, but this is day 3 of not being able to think about anything but japan sinks 2020. It’s literally 10 episodes and a combined 2.5hrs long. I’ve looked at literally every tumblr post about it. I’m currently crocheting Kogas hat.

Um so, I just started Japan Sinks 2020 on Netflix and I don’t think I’m going to make it. I literally cried just watching episode one. Has anyone watched it and not cried? Genuinely curious

(Only good gif i could find of him lmao)
(Also, too lazy to change any more of these in to 2nd person or edit them at all so theyre all gonna be 3rd person and not proper, if theyre from my wattpad)
---
(Y/n) was hanging around his living room, his roommate Kite nowhere to be found. He was bored to say the least. Deciding that he could find more entertainment outside, he sat in the field near their house. He crossed his legs and sighed, absentmindedly picking the nearby flowers and weaving them into a little crown, the neighborhood cat sauntering up to him.
He smiled at the feline, scratching him behind the ears. "Hey Fluffy!" He cooed. "How are you today bud?" The cat only purred in response. Placing the crown on the cats head, he laughed. The cat didn't mind, and payed next to him.
He was staring up at the clouds, when a familiar man came up behind him. "Hey softy" said the man, causing the other to squeak in surprise and look at him. It was Kite, of course. (Y/n) huffed angrily. "I am not soft!" He said defiantly.
 Kite chuckled, and sat down next to him. Their hands were almost touching, and that fact alone made the "tough" man blush. He had loved this idiot since they had first moved in together, soon after high school. Now, 6 years later, they had moved to Japan to be near their online friends Go and Ayumu.
 Kite broke the silence they were in. "So um... Ayumu and her girlfriend-" "Wait, Ayumu has a girlfriend? Since when!" "Let me finish! Ayumu and her girlfriend, Nanami, want us to go to the movies with them tomorrow. Kinda like a double date thing, but only we're not together. Do you wanna go?"
The (h/c) boy felt his face heat up even more. "Oh I- um yeah sure I'm down," and before he could think about what he was saying, he added, "it's a date then." Kite raised an eye brow and tilted his head in confusion. "I mean yeah if you want it to be. It's a date"
Realizing what he had said, the man in question's eyes widened. His face was bright red at this point. "I'm uh- I'm gonna go inside-" he said and pointed at the house. Kite frowned, but waved slightly as he walked inside.
He headed straight into his room, and flopped onto his bed. Grabbing his pillow, he happy screamed into it, his legs kicking aggressively. He had accidentally planned a date with Kite! The excitement he felt was immeasurable. Now all he had to do was go to sleep, and he'd finally be on that date. After a few hours of just scrolling through his phone, that's exactly what he did.
---
It was date day, and (Y/n) couldn't be more nervous. He was wearing a black Jean jacket with ripped black jeans and a spiked collar, but still felt he didn't look good enough. He looked in the mirror, narrowing his eyes. Calm down (Y/n), you look badass. Now just to see what Kite thought.
He walked into the living room to see his date. The other man was wearing his usual black turtleneck and jeans, but he was still stunning. His eyes widened when (Y/n) walked over to him, a light blush on his cheeks. He walked over to the other boy. "You look... wow" he said breathlessly.
He put his hand up to the spiked collar, his hand brushing the throat of his date. That sent shivers down his spine, his face bright red."T-thanks... You're not too bad yourself" he managed to sputter out, causing Kite to chuckle. "Come on idiot" he said, holding out his hand.
Realizing what he did, he put it back to his side. "Sorry that was a bit forw-" "hey no i don't mind!" He was cut off, as he felt a hand grab his. "Let's just go."
---
The two met the other two girls there. Ayumu smiled, running up to them and giving them big hugs while giggling. "I'm so glad you too could make it!" She said happily. "Wouldn't miss it" (Y/n) replied with a small smile. "What movie are we even seeing?" Ayumu led them to go purchase their tickets. "They're replaying The Exorcist, so we're gonna watch that"
(Y/n) paled, his eyes widening. He hated horror movies, he was always so easily scared. "Neato. Cool. Great choice" he said with an awkward chuckle. "Anyways, you should meet my girlfriend. Kite, (Y/n), meet Nanami, and Nanami, meet Kite and (Y/n)!" She said cheerfully, shoving said girlfriend over to her friends.
The taller girl smiled and waved. "Pleasure to meet you too" she said politely. Kite was the one to respond, "You too. Now, for the movie. Everything is on me guys!"
---
They were watching the movie, a big bucket of popcorn between the couples. (Y/n) reached for some popcorn and, in cliche fanfiction fashion, Kite did the same and they ended up holding hands the whole time.
And then the jump scares came. Despite his tough facade, (Y/n) was secretly a huge coward. Especially during one specific jump scare which caused him to jump halfway out of his seat and scream rather loudly.
Kite looked at him and chuckled, an eyebrow raised. "You okay tough guy?" He asked jokingly. "I'm fine, I don't know what to talk about!" And that statement earned him an eye roll and a soft smile. Kite put his arm over the other man'a shoulders and held him. "Whatever, softy"
