People either love or hate adult fei and like, i get both points? In my opinion they nailed the shape (it’s camp) but i also guess that they messed up his palette because fei is supposed to have strong yellow and orange palette in both skin and outfits so he looks off as an adult. because grayish outfit and pink skin are Not what he’s supposed to be. Most of Fei’s outfits are orange or if he’s not it’s the vibrant GO raimon blue

its horse time babey

heyyyyyy there do u maybe wanna share more thoughts on butch lesbian kirino? im very intrigued 👀

This is based on projection of my own experience of identifying as MLM trans guy to nonbinary butch lesbian so I headcanon Kirino to go thru the same pipeline, hahah. Though different to my labels, I headcanon that Kirino is both transmasc and butch lesbian.

The idea came from how Kirino keeps his pigtails despite not liking being mistaken as a girl, so I headcanon that he has a complex relationship with masculinity, hence his complicated gender journey where he mistook his masculinity as being a binary man, but in reality it's entirely outside of the conventional idea of gender (being butch)

Other than his refusal to let go of his pigtails, my main idea of the headcanon is the way he finds kinship in Joan of Arc who during her entire life was demonized for not conforming to gender roles, leading to her death. And Kirino's Joan of Arc theming doesn't end in his mixi-max but it extends to his keshin sharing the same traits as Joan's (banner bearing / raising morals of other fellow members)

I also found Kirino's development to embrace his calling as a defender and to support Shindou and other members similar to butches in history where they took the role of supporting and protecting other members of the LGBTQ community in past, too

Ahhh, this is a really good essay!!

There's a really good scene of Minamisawa that's in (currently untranslated) a drama CD that takes place between Holy Road and Chrono Stone, where Minamisawa got agitated over Gouenji and Kidou calling Sangoku's version of Rairaiken's rice bowl "not real Rairaidon" and went on an argument with Kidou over it loolll. I love how he went from apathetic to openly defending his friends...

(yes Gouenji and Kidou picked fights with middle schoolers. And Kidou got offended over Minamisawa calling him old. Grown ass adults)

I love Minamisawa's arc, I'm sad he left Raimon so early on bc I would've loved to see more of him, but it's still so satisfying.

I really like that he and the rest of Gassan Kunimitsu had to learn that they can't always depend on Fifth's rules. the team had already been following them even before Minamisawa joined, and he was already okay with - and kind of hoping - to just be able to fall in line and graduate with a good-looking student record. but having been in Raimon before, that seed was already planted about fighting for what you love, and he realized just what it was that he truly wanted- and that the only way for him to get it, was to fight like hell for it.

and I love that his teammates saw him give it his all and realized that Fifth's rules had been holding them back, and then and there decided to abandon those rules and throw themselves into the battle. not just to win, but for Minamisawa. because he fought so hard, against his old team no less, for something they were all hoping would just fall into their lap if they behaved and did as told. he, a newcomer, proved to them that standing by and watching wouldn't help them, and instead of disregarding him, they accepted his influence and fully committed to playing a fair and fun match. in a way, Minamisawa was to them what Tenma was to Raimon- a revolutionary wind.

him playing against his old team in the first place brings a lot of good drama also, like the betrayal and the anger and confusion- I don't know just how close he was with the other third years, but I think one of them mentioned that he hadn't told them anything about what school he was transferring to, or even that he was transferring at all. to their knowledge he just quit the soccer club and that was it. any feelings of betrayal make sense, this came out of nowhere for them.

and on his end, there seems to be some frustration about how things unfolded- he didn't leave for no reason after all, and even though he jumped at the opportunity to, it doesn't mean he feels apathetic about it. Minamisawa seems like the type of guy to act cool on the outside, but ruminate on things quite a lot inside his head. and he's not emotionless, leaving the team and Raimon as a whole had to be a big step for him, I just believe that he chose not to show it. it would be easier for everyone that way.

I really love that he acknowledged Tenma as a good player and a worthy addition to Raimon, giving credit for stirring the team with the wind of revolution. the effects that Tenma had on the team may have lead to Minamisawa leaving, but it also lead to him finding new friends and his own soccer at Gassan Kunimitsu, and ultimately reconnecting with Raimon after that match. he wasn't exactly welcome to change at first, but acknowledging and vocalizing Tenma's role in changing his life for the better is proof that he's changed and grown a lot.

and on top of that, Raimon assuring him that no matter what he'll do or where he'll go, there'll always be a spot for him at Raimon? that they'll always be waiting for him? ahhh man it's so good, it's that promise of eternal friendship and support, even after everything, even though he was the one who left. and they acknowledge that Gassan Kunimitsu needs a player like him, that he belongs to that team too now, but that it doesn't matter which uniform he wears- he will always have friends at Raimon.

On Miximax (1)

…Yes, I shamelessly inspired the title on John Stuart Mill.

Anyway, it’s about time I worked on exclusive content for this blog instead of just reblogging old stuff. It was either this or listing which characters are intended to ever get a miximax and which ones aren’t, but I believe this could be a bit funner. And less disappointing for fans.

This essay I’m about to pull off is the result of studying the main miximaxes in CS in a bid to understand (and reproduce) the changes a player undergoes when it mixitranses. This is by no means an ultimate list, nor a scientific process–just a bunch of conclusions I have come up with out of looking, comparing, crying and analysing what we were given. This list might grow with time; if that were to happen, I would notify you all about it, of course!

Much, much, MUCH more, under the cut!

Valentine’s Day Inazuma pages from February’s Otomedia

I know it's a meme that Shindou cries a lot, and I'm totally guilty of snorting at it, but to be completely fair, I don't exactly recall him ever crying without a very good reason to. Most of the time he's crying from frustration and helplessness, which is very understandable, especially given he's, like, 14. The adults all around him are failing him, all the while he has enormous responsibility put onto his shoulders. He's forced to comply with Fifth Sector's orders or risk not only literally getting beaten up, but also risk getting everybody else beaten up through sheer association with him.

Aside from that, instances of him crying in other seasons that I recall are:

Crying while thinking about the kind girl that helped him that he would never see again, because they're literally from different time periods.

Crying after the first match of Shinsei Inazuma Japan after being utterly humiliated in front of the entire country, and having no idea why any of this was happening.

depth perception problems. how do you play soccer with one eye.

precious sakuma in GO ep 15, 16 and 17

because

I always have been associating Kidou and Sakuma with eyes motifs but I was reminded of an interview saying that Fudou's eyes are expressive, so maybe eyes is a Penguin Trio and Teikoku thing? probably. But yes you can watch in the anime that Fudou's emotions are stored in his eyes.

And I'm very glad they still keep it in GO movie!! I had a discussion with @pinyacoladas about his eyes and if one looks closely they're drawn differently that when he was younger to make him less freaky.

GO!Fudou have longer, more oval shaped irises and his eyeliner game isn't as strong as baby Fudou's (as in the lineart for his eyes are thinner than young Fudou's are)

My guess on why are Fudou's eyes so expressive? From shape psychology theory perspective is:

Fudou's eye shape and eyebrows are triangle-like. In shape theory triangles symbolize movement, motion, and energy compared to rectangle and circle. His eyebrows are short and thin making them easy to notice even on GO!Fudou when he has full bangs. For see more closely one can watch the clip above and compare Fudou and Kazemaru's eyes as Kazemaru has round eyes and longer eyebrows

Fudou's design change in GO with longer iris and thinner lineart softens his expressions. I'm guessing this has to do with the smaller negative space it creates too but I don't have enough knowledge on it atm. He still does the shrinking iris thing as an adult though lol (on clip)

Not the same expression but the eyes are drawn in the same manner

if we ignore the racist lips i actually really fuck with this design. i like the cabbage lookin hair

speaking of the lips i think it's funny that they forgot to draw them in this group shot. like he looks fine with normal lips why'd they have to give him the racist lips 💀
