My secondary Tumblr is full of Toku. Meaning Super Sentai/Power Rangers, Ultraman & Kamen Riders I also run a Anime screencap tumblog! And a wordpress blurb thing on my thoughts at What's Detetiv Doing now?
What fruit/juice/items do you add to canned soupsop/guanabana or tamarindo juice?
I only have bananas, milk, acai smoothie concentrate, rambutan, blueberries though on hand right now open to other easy to find fruits. Scored these in stop & shop of all things in Massachusetts area
I saw an otter briefly hop on top of a babirusa at the zoo and when the stranger standing next to me heard my camera shutter click he turned to me with this look of immense relief, put his hand to his chest, and said in a dead serious tone “oh thank christ someone caught that on film”
It's interesting that they went a different route from the webtoon & manga for the melt scene. (He melts in the office, I wonder how they're going to change that one scene later)
Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague Episode 2: Okinawa Getaway
What can I say, it's cute. It's really cute. And the lighting work is definitely helping that. They're very liberal with highlights in this show, but it works out well with the art style and color palette. The art is very smooth and "simple", so to speak, and the art is very saturated. Lots of deep, vibrant colors everywhere, which helps a great deal. It means the highlights can brighten the colors and it won't look blown out or plain white, and that they won't end up covering up details. Also, they use depth of field quite a bit as well (like in the image above) and it helps sell the feel even more.
Regardless of art style though, Himuro is certainly the main attraction for the series. Fuyutsuki is of course as well, but Himuro's reaction and his Kansai accent are just too cute to not get wrapped up in. And I mean, he did a whole Rocky thing this episode training to make sure he wouldn't create a blizzard while in Onikawa which was a super fun extension of his cuteness when he gets worried and worked up over something.
Also, something I picked up on in the first episode but didn't get to chat about because I was late to watching it was the names of the characters, they're all references. Himuro and Komori share very similar naming sense with the first Kanji being in relation to their spirit ancestors, and the second kanji being a location ("room" for Himuro, "woods" for Komori). Of course, Fuyutsuki and Saejima are just regular humans so they don't have that first kanji, so Saejima's name is "skillful" and "island" put together, but Fuyutsuki's is the most interesting. Her name is comprised of "winter" and "moon", which are more nonsensical than the others, but also more interesting. The moon is featured quite heavily in these two episodes that we have, specifically in relation to Fuyutsuki and Himuro together. I'm very curious to find out if there's any reason for it, or if it's just a creative choice.
Anyways, the moment that caught my attention the most in today's episode was Himuro melting. I was really expecting him to just get younger, but after thinking on it a little bit what else would have happened? There's other ways to melt, but they wouldn't exactly be relaxing or anything to experience, so at the end of the day I'm fine with it. My only real concern was how they were going to approach a "younger"/smaller version of Himuro, but they did alright. Nothing out of pocket and nothing over the top, it's a normal interaction that ends with both Himuro and Fuyutsuki getting flustered about it but not completely overreacting, which was nice.
Overall, I wouldn't say this does anything extraordinary. It's not some incredibly special series, but it's cute, it's fresh, and it's fun. It's the trifecta for a well-received series, and doesn't try to force its way above and beyond. It seems to know what it's aiming for, and hits the mark really quite well. So, if you want a really relaxing and casual adult romance with a little bit of a twist, there's really nothing wrong with checking out The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague.
Folk music is wonderful because there’s bound to be a million versions of any song you love. Folk music is terrible because nobody will ever sing it right except the person who taught you the song.
