When I was in art school I used to make lots of these "doodle" (aka scratchy/messy without a plan) animations in my spare time and I somehow just sat down and started one last week!
It was super fun, just started drawing Masa with his hair untied and trying to figure out what he was looking at! I happened to have a very-post-canon-hc about Matsu and Yaichi bonding while Masa is away on a trip, and Masa being thrilled to find out when he comes back :3
[Video description: a scratchy animation of Matsu, Masa and Yaichi from House of Five Leaves. They are all shown from the chest up in three quarter's view, apparently sitting down.
Matsu is shown first, facing right. He is writing or drawing, but then stops to look to the left. After a moment he smiles, then returns to his work, still smiling.
Masa is shown second. His body is turned to the left, but he looks to the right, at Matsu, with a bit of a confused expression. He turns his head to the left, but holds Matsu with his gaze for a bit, before fully looking to the left.
Next, Yaichi is shown. He has a cup of hot tea in his hand but seems distracted by something in front of him. He seems to stare at Matsu, smiling, then glances to his left and meets Masa's gaze. Yaichi's eyes go a little unfocused and he smiles dreamily before he takes a sip of his tea.
Masa is shown again, still looking confused, but something seems to dawn on him. He blinks and smiles excitedly. /End video description]

POUR @modocanis et Meenoo (si tu passes par là)
Joyeux Noël, mon Rat et mon Chat, avec un peu en retard: miracle de saison, en souvenir du bon vieux temps, on ressuscite une fic d’entre les fichiers morts… ^^;;
and golden kamuy got that weird furry incelcore band instead
ikr!!!!!!!!!!!! gk's ost is just so forgettable and boring, not a single good/replay value ed or op! it's so frustrating! it's not that man with a mission are nobodies either so they could def afford something good they just didn't bother! good osts, good ops and eds always elevate a series a lot, when i think of fma or gintama i think of their iconic openings and it just ties so nicely with the overall experience. with gk it's just something that sounds so painfully generic it's like bg music in a shopping mall. and the in-series ost is awful too... really, a shame
anyways, animes i watched for niche hipster points:
mushishi (this one was good, but at age 14 i just wanted to look deep)
subete ga f ni naru (HORRIBLE SHOW. AZING OPENING)
saraiya goyou (lol)
rainbow nisha rokubou no shichinin (this was my fav anime for a few years. i barely remember anything abt it. it takes place in prison tho)
evangelion (i dont remember shit abt it. esp the rebuilds)
flcl (amazing ost)
haibane renmai (that put me to sleep at age 14. i don't remember shit except the wall and the wings sprouting that was horiffying)
every yoshitobe abe show (lain, texchnolyze. i legit dint remember them. i was 12 and thought cyberpunk was cool)
ping pong (i remember liking it. and its critically acclaimed but lol)
azumanga daioh (i didnt actually find it funny in middle school. ik ik)
paranoia agent
a lot more but point is. i was a strange child and i shouldve spent more time really thinking about what it means to enjoy stuff but i do now and thats all that matters

I can hardly breathe reading each chapter.
Happy New Years! and on to 2019, which will hopefully be even better!
i did not even like the saraiya goyou anime really besides masa but what u must understand is it holds a very special place in my heart as the last thing i ever did with my life before natsume ono fucked with my brain chemistry so badly i could not function properly for months she left me a man changed for the so much worse and the last site of the state of dignity from which i would so soon depart and never recover was sitting there watching that goblin shark of a man have ronin panic attacks. masanosuke is literally the only good thing natsume ono ever did for our society remember that.
OK, record battu. Ai déterré sur mon ordi et fini une vieille fanfic datant de 2010 (!). Même si apparemment je sais plus écrire en français ^^;; Si vous voyez du Goyô fandom montrer son museau sur ce blog dans les jours qui viennent, c’est pour ça.
Thanks for answering my ask before. If you don't mind me asking (again), can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......
they're all fictional stories but i perceive ones that come with a visual element (manga/moving picture) and ones that lack it (books) in very different ways so i cannot really mix them since they fulfill different roles
top 10 anime/manga
golden kamuy (manga), there's nothing else like it and it excels in both story and character writing, with good and polished visuals. it took tremendous effort to create and it paid off... one in a million work
fullmetal alchemist, it's been around since forever there's not much i can say at this point. the golden standard really
saraiya goyou, phenomenal ost, pleasant story, unique visuals, overall a favorite work of mine due to its production and atmosphere. very slept on but it's ok... watching it is like chewing kinoko mochi
shouwa genroku rakugo shinjuu, has its faults but it's undeniably a masterpiece. great story, good visuals, good character writing, good ost
berserk (up to golden age arc only), again it's ancient so i don't really have much to say. it's a classic for a reason
hoozuki no reitetsu, it's everything a comedy needs to be. funny and enjoyable but has its own twist on what it's trying to present, and the setting is rather uncommon. very pleasant visually, fun character designs. also slept on but ig it's a west issue bc it was popular in jp at its peak
shigurui, very edgy and #problematic but i enjoyed it a lot. it's very atmospherically heavy but i love the kind of drama it engages and i love the pacing & the kabuki-esque mood
trigun (og anime), a childhood favorite of mine i don't have much to say i just love it a lot because it made me sad
michiko to hatchin, it's a good story and very enjoyable. setting unusual for an anime. feels like watching an action movie...
dorohedoro, it's just very fun and pleasant it's a good watch. very likeable characters
books
ningen shikkaku by dazai osamu, i don't have much to say it's been obscenely popular with emo losers since forever. i read it at 16 for the first time and was like wow this is really the i'm a creep i'm a weirdo manifesto #relatable #letsjumptherope
of human bondage by somerset maugham, it's a long boring book and i read it in my teens too but i just love it... the journey of going through mc's life since childhood into late adulthood is just so charming i like this kind of stuff
all quiet on the western front by erich maria remarque, i like war stories and it's a sad read
i forgor the rest 😭 there's a lot of books i read and many i liked but they usually don't really stay with me at all it's more of a 👍👎 thing
for movies i only like park chan-wook's vengeance trilogy + the handmaiden i don't really go there. and i don't watch tv shows
