Dungeon Meshi spoilers way past the anime

i feel like everytime i return to Dungeon Meshi or Kui's extras/Daydream Hour stuff i have a new realization, the other day a Twitter user pointed out how that little inner monologue Senshi has at one point about "feeding the young ones" seems to just be a cute joke about his "Team Mom/Dad" tendencies but then when you reach his backstory it gains new dimensions of meaning. it's good writing!!

#yes 'Team Mom/Dad' the official guidebook says he occupies both a mother and father role in the group #senshi #senshi dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi #delicious in dungeon

ichikuu bangers 2️⃣:

across years and miles apart, despite rings not really being an accessory they both wore in their nb days, they somehow still managed to have matching rings on their hands

same colour palette

their drama track bro 😭😭😭

the running theme in it that kuukou refuses to leave ichiro’s side

the happy quiet giggle ichiro does when kuukou expresses this

speaking of ichiro’s giggles, that really embarrassing happy giggle he does when jyushi tells him he sounds just like kuukou when he’s being a hardass

double barrel, their duet title, has a secondary meaning, ‘to get married’

the nb team colour is gold they’re the golden duo

stage kuukou told ichiro he was his soulmate and we learn this through a very normal song about how much ichiro misses kuukou

when we finally got this duet with the two of them irl, they share a coke and i mean literally, kuukou takes a sip of coke and tosses the bottle to ichiro who then takes a sip himself

sometimes they call that phenomenon an indirect kiss lol 🤭

it’s also uniquely insane that during their final duet, as kuukou didn’t apologise for being late he cupped the back of ichiro’s neck and leaned in close—

bop 2023 was actually their time to shine lol lemme tell you about how ichiro and kuukou happened to meet on some stairs during wiz 6 mics and kuukou ruffled ichiro’s hair

or when kuukou playfully karate chopped ichiro’s head lmao

or how they kuukou’s improv rock paper scissors together where rock meant eternal bond, paper meant hands to praise one another with a scissors to poke your eyes out lmao

tho ichiro likely didn’t know it at the time, when the two of them played rock paper scissors together they tied on rock aka eternal bonds 😌

if you were ever curious about what happened to kuukou’s bandana, the stage’s interpretation of it is that kuukou took it off and dropped it as he bid his hypnosis induced farewell

this interpretation is also highly likely to be the work of hirono-san’s imagination only lol so he Gets It

speaking of kuukou actors who get it, hayama looked at this black bird kite and went ‘this is ichiro kin, i’m naming this ichiro’ and scribbled naughty busters on it and sent it flying lol

since the kite’s meant to be a symbol of strength, that basically means that ichiro is symbol of strength for kuukou

back in that leaders fantasy event in arb ichiro and kuukou wore matching cord belts

rhyme anima has been fun lol they started to get into a fight just for funsies (they clearly didn’t mean it lmao)

you can tell they didn’t mean it because in their following conversation, it’s heavily implied kuukou never really wanted ichiro to contact him ahead of time because ichiro is always welcome to wherever kuukou is and they smile very satisfied with each other lol

there’s a nb flashback scene where kuukou boasts about their street cred and ichiro does one of his embarrassing giggles

the literal next second, some acquaintances show up ichiro immediately turns away to let kuukou handle social interactions since apparently ichiro only wanted to talk and smile at kuukou back in those days lol

rhyme anima said ichiro and kuukou are symbolically the tiger and dragon, two different forces working together for the same goal

#vee queued to fill the void #there’s always more lmao but i’m pulling a kr #by holding out on some points so i can eventually make a third one just like kr is doing with the guidebooks LOL #like forreal i probably could make a third one rn lol i didn’t mention more recent arb events or drama tracks #or official art or stuff hidden in their details THERES SO MUCH #YAY ICHIKUU DAY HERES TO THEIR FRIENDSHIP ❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜

so I'm reading the official guidebook right now and what I've gathered is that everyone has to sleep more

Mmmhh...

#(Basically rant on my last two posts) #I know I've said it before and sorry for coming off as annoying– #but I really wish we still had a central bsd blog on Tumblr like fy-bungoustraydogs or bsd-central or things of the kind. #I think now everyone rushes to post news first. And although there's merit to it in knowing news as soon as they happen‚ #in the long run the death of this kind of central official content ***fan*** blogs is such a huge loss of fandom spaces‚ #especially for the archiving purposes they solved. Especially today that T/witter and G/oogle have basically become unusable. #Literally. Literally. I've been doing official content archiving since I was 11 #(because that's the very specific kind of mental illness I have) #and let me tell you that the quality of web search and especially reverse image search only got worse– #in a way that is very evident and noticeable. Which is crazy tbh and not how things should work. #If anyone would like to start a bsd-central kind of blog I'll be the first one to follow. #Actually if anyone actually wants to establish it feel free to contact me and I'll be more than happy to share the resources I have!!!! #It just needs to be something multi-modded for a series of reasons I won't get into right now #I just can't personally do it (not as main admin at least) because that would be modding my FIFTH active bsd blog– #and that's a little too much even for me. #On top of some ethical concerns I have regarding whether it'd be fair for me to mod a fandom central bsd blog– #when I feel like I can't genuinely share the same amount of love for the franchise other fans share #On top of. You know. Getting a degree eventually hopefully. #Then years after the blog has been solidly enstablished and aquired enough credibility it could even open a free donations found to invest– #in buying and scanning and releasing bsd content that hasn't been shared yet like the guidebooks or illustration books or everything else– #for everyone to see... #The dream. (Is realistically never going to happen) (Won't stop me from daydreaming about it every day) #((Still salty I couldn't afford the guidebooks only due to the shipment prices. I *would* have scanned and uploaded them.)) #That was a long and idealistic rant. Kyotag out #Edit: *Modding my SIXTH bsd blog #Apparently I mod so many blogs I lost count of them

Hiroko Utsumi Interview (SK8 the Infinity Official Guide Book)

Thank you... for loving SK8!*

Director Hiroko Utsumi

PROFILE

Animation director, producer, and animator. She directed the Free! series and BANANA FISH, and was in charge of production on K-On!, Nichijou (My Ordinary Life, Hyouka, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, and others.

—First, how are you feeling now that episode 12 has finished airing?

Right after it aired, I felt like crazily dancing flamenco, but now enough time has passed that I've calmed down. Still, I keep thinking "We really finished it~!"

—Do you have any favorite episodes, or scenes that left an impression on you?

Personally, I naturally have the strongest attachment to episode 1, which I storyboarded and produced. At that point, I was fumbling through without being certain exactly what this work was going to be. The ending gave me a lot of trouble, but the image of "white snow falling in Okinawa" surpassed my expectations, and is my favorite part even now. That image is like a snow crystal formed by the professionals in each department, which can only exist through animation.

—Can you tell us about the appeal of skateboarding we felt in the series?

It made me feel like "skating is so cool!" all over again! I was convinced it was a theme that could really shine in anime, and I only felt that even more as the series continued. That heart-pounding feeling, the speed, the coolness of tricks. I'm glad I was able to portray the appeal of skating through anime.

—Are there any secret stories from production you can reveal to us now?

ADAM and Langa's white-hot BEEF scene in the last episode. At first, Kobayashi-san played Langa with a powerful air, like he was fighting, but the sound director, Masafumi Mima-san, directed him, "Do it like he's cuddling up to ADAM", and made me feel, "Yes, yes! That's exactly it!"... but after that, we went with intense background music that would suit an action scene, so the lack of tension in his voice ended up not matching up... so in the end Langa's voice was revised to sound like he was fighting again. I wanted everyone to hear the incredibly rare Langa cuddling up to ADAM...!

—Were there any episodes or behind-the-scenes developments that you hated to cut? (lit. "cut while crying")

In the original scenario, during the part of the plot where Langa is rapidly becoming obsessed with ADAM, there was a part where ADAM was going to carry Langa off to his vacation house, and Reki was going to be shocked to see the two of them having fun skating together, but... I felt like that wasn't the right direction, so I had the plot changed to what it is now. There are a lot of scenes where I wonder how things would have turned out if they'd been in the original work. If Kikuchi's "yes!" in the last episode was "woof!"... for example. (laughter)

—What were your impressions of the casting and the voice actors' performances?

Everyone played their unique characters with such splendid individuality, and conveyed the characters' charm in a way that you can't with just visuals, so I enjoyed the recording for every episode. The other day I went back to listen to Hatanaka-san and Kobayashi-san's audition tapes again, and Reki hasn't changed at all! Hatanaka-san never wavers~! I admired that. Meanwhile Langa was like a completely different person! (laughter) Langa in the audition was sharp and sarcastic, and gave off an ice-like impression, but he's changed so much up until now~! It was really moving to hear that. Now, he's like powder snow. (laughter)

—With production, props, character designs and the like, was there anything you were especially particular about?

Speaking generally, a main facet of production is pacing. It's a really important part of film-making; if the pacing is good, the work flows smoothly, and when you're watching, before you know it, it's over! I like series with that kind of good tempo to them, so I paid attention to every episode to make sure that the pacing felt good. As for the character designs, I was careful to make sure they were very unique, but also balanced. And then there's the difference in their physiques!

—If "S" opened in the real world, what part do you think you'd be most interested in?

I want to say, "Hey, have a BEEF with me!" and "Crush them with that hug, ADAM—!!"

—Can you send a message to all the fans who loved SK8 the Infinity?

Thank you... for loving SK8!* (with a blank expression) When I was working on the original work, there were times when I was BEEFing with production that made me lose the highlights in my eyes in real life, but I was able to get through it thanks to everyone's love. As their creator, I couldn't be happier that people love Reki and Langa and the others in so many different ways. The original series has ended, but their daily lives will surely continue, and we'd be happy if you could watch the series over and over again while imagining them like that. ☆ Thank you so much for watching SK8 the Infinity!

*She is directly quoting Ainosuke's line that is translated as "thank you for loving me", but here the subject is the series, not herself.
