Dear VLD fandom, SDCC is coming up which means do not, I repeat, DO NOT BOTHER THE CREW WITH FANDOM BS. This includes asking about ships, age discourse, AUs or any other fandom bs. This fandom has become so absorbed in fanon, that they forget what this show is even about and forget that the people behind it are real people with emotions and feelings.

These people are the backbone of this show and the people who bring it to life. Give them the thanks that they deserve. Ask them about the show and plot points. Ask about more info on a character or how the team will grow. Hints to future plot points, stuff like that. Don’t ask them questions just to prove or disprove some stupid fandom drama. Not only is it pretty disrespectful, but it’s highkey embarrassing. Just…don’t do it.

Reminder

Telling 👏 someone 👏 to 👏 die 👏 because 👏 you 👏 don’t 👏 like 👏 what 👏 they 👏 ship 👏 is 👏 not 👏 okay 👏

Some stuff in All Out!! that differentiates it from other sports anime/manga

((I really want to elaborate on this but I’ll try to keep this brief bc of slow internet connection))

1. First of all, All Out!! has something that most sports anime/manga do not have (dare I say no sports anime/manga actually has that at all), and that thing is body diversity. Some visual examples:

(source for the last pic)

See, usually fat characters in sports anime/manga (or in any media, really) are just there for fat/food jokes, as the funny characters who aren’t very important. But not in All Out!! In All Out!!, they are important, crucial even. They are strong, they are intelligent, serious, attractive, strong-willed, intimidating, sexy (look at my boy Hikaru, seriously it’s the first time I’ve seen a fat character portrayed as sexy, I’m in love)

And another thing, those characters aren’t just chubby, they aren’t “squishy“, they are downright fat and big and I lovE THEM LOOK AT MY BOY HIROTA HE COULD LITERALLY TACKLE ME INTO ANOTHER DIMENTION AND I’D THANK HIM–

Yeah, anyway, body diversity, body positivity

2. One of the characters is an orphan and lives with his abusive, potentially homophobic brother. Yeah, you don’t usually see that in other sports anime/manga. Usually, the big bro in sports anime/manga is either supportive or a bit of a jerk, he doesn’t emotionally abuse his little bro, guilt trip him, or ask him if he’s had sex with one of his closest (male) friend because of how close they are (I actually made an entire post about it here)

3. You know that scene in sports anime/manga where a character starts disliking the sport they’re practicing and thinks of quitting but eventually comes back (think of Haikyuu, with the second years trio)? Well, the same thing happened in All Out!! Except the guy didn’t come back.

Though as you can see, he really didn’t hate the club. He just couldn’t take it anymore, he was tired, he just couldn’t do it. Actually, keeping up with the club would have surely had a terrible effect on his health.

And I love how they treated this. All Out!! showed us that it’s okay to give up. That it’s not worth continuing something if it’s gonna fuck you up in the end. It doesn’t mean you’re a bad person, it doesn’t mean you’re weak, it doesn’t mean you’re worthless, it just mean you’re human. You have things you can do and others you can’t, and that’s it. Giving up is okay.

And this is honestly so refreshing, because in sports anime/manga, it’s always “Keep going!“, “Never give up!“, “Work harder!“

It’s never “You can stop if you can’t do it”, and this is honestly so important

Also, the team (esp the captain) did try to hold him back, but ended up understanding what was the best for him, so they let him go, but not without a comfort hug from the captain to tell him “It’s alright, we understand, please keep supporting us”

Speaking of Sekizan

4. The captain is an actual maiden.

No seriously. Sometimes he’ll be this huge, buff, intimidating guy who could probably kill you with a tackle

“I’ll be right back”

And the next he’s just like

“Umm dude can you stop clasping ur hands like that it’s kinda gay”

“?????? Ummm but i’m a fucking princess??? Sorry I don’t make the rules”

This boy is so fucking honest, so determined, so dedicated to his club. He loves rugby, he loves his teammates, he’s ready to do anything for his team to achieve victory. But he’s also so humble. He’s the type of guy who won’t even celebrate a victory because he’s not used to it?? He also tries to be intimidating but would never, ever look down on someone, because he’s like that, because he respects people, because he’s a good boy

But also he??? deliberately styled his hair like that to look intimidating?? He likes the color pink?? His phone wallpaper is a pink sakura??? He wears shirts with flowers on them?? He?? LOVES SWEETS??? LIKE THIS BOY WOULD LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE FOR A MACAROON?? He also cries A LOT??? HE CRIES WHEN HE’S HAPPY HE CRIES WHEN HE’S SAD HE CRIES WHEN HE’S ANGRY??? PLEASE PROTECT MY BIG BUFF INTIMIDATING SON HE’S ONLY 17 AND GOT OFFENDED WHEN HIS COACH OFFERED HIM TO TRY SOME BEER

HE’S LITERALLY THE BEST CAPTAIN IN SPORTS ANIME/MANGA HISTORY Y’ALL???

5. Also, not very important (it’s more for fanservice than anything) but yknow how Haikyuu!! is famous for the character’s thighs? And Free! and KnB for their pretty boys? Yeah? Well

( x )

We’re also pretty good there too

Yeah so it’s getting late so i’ll end this here, but I just wanted to make this because the fact that All Out!! is getting so little attention it pretty saddening tbh, and I was hoping to maybe get some people interested. If you’ve got some more reasons as to why All Out!!’s an amazing anime/manga, please feel free to add to this post

To conclude: a determined mushroom son

I already saw some people call Otabek Ota. I BEG YOU PLEASE DON’T DO IT! I’m actually laughing so hard I’m crying a little.

It means Grandfather in Kazakh, okay? Or even FATHER IN SOME REGIONS, OKAY?

That just must be really awkward.

This is my friend Yura and he calls me Grandpa.

Hello, my name is Otabek, but you can call me daddy.

If you want to use a short form, just call him Bek, that’s perfectly okay and a widespread thing to do. It would also mean something like prince and I think it’s beautiful.

IMPORTANT note regarding Mitsurou Kubo’s Twitter

It seems that some fans are sending artwork/fanart by other people to Mitsurou Kubo via Twitter, and she is NOT comfortable with that. She just tweeted about that as in the picture below. You can find the exact translation after the picture.

“I’m happy if you send me pictures drawn by yourself. However, even if you send me pictures drawn by others, they did not draw them for them to be seen by me. Please be careful”.

“There are fanarts drawn to be seen by the creators of the anime, and fanarts that are NOT drawn for that purpose. I am not sure that I’m in the position to discuss in detail about the type of fanart I’m referring to, but in all cases, the feelings of the person who originally drew the picture must come before anything else.”

I think there is no need to further elaborate on what she is referring to, as it’s pretty obvious.

1) Please do NOT send her artworks/fanart/gifs drawn by other people or that you randomly found on the net.

2) If you wish to send her a picture, please only do it if you have drawn it yourself.

3) Please think carefully whether the picture you want to send her is appropriate or not. (I can only appeal to your common sense here…)

4) The same applies to questions. She cannot reply to fans via Twitter on delicate questions regarding the series, therefore please do not send her awkward questions or comments.

Please kindly share this post or at least her tweet… Thank you in advance, and let’s try to be respectful of her wishes.

Canonically, Yamaguchi is a Pokemon fan:

I mean, he even knows Pikachu’s height. He’s a total Pokemon nerd.

Today Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon were announced.

Imagine him getting Pokemon Moon because of Tsukishima…

Souta/Furuta’s Trump Cards

Just some thoughts on Souta and Furuta’s Trump Cards. With last chapter, the mystery of why Souta’s Trump Card was separate to the rest of the Clowns has been cleared up. We’d all guessed that Souta was working with V but I think it was still a little bit of a surprise (for me at least) that his loyalties to Pierrot was completely non-existent.

There’s the obvious clues that we’d all figured out were important:

But then there’s also something suspicious with Souta’s hands going on. The obvious one was his left hand making a V which combined with the bird cage showed his association with the V organisation. But the right hand is harder to make out but it’s too unnatural looking to be insignificant. I just have no idea in what way (if anyone has any ideas about this, please add on!)

Lastly, if Furuta was a part of V, and his 5 ♥ cards represents that… does this mean the other 5′s are also a part of V? There’s one 5 in particular that is especially suspicious…. I’ll put it under the cut just in case you don’t want potential spoilers for that character
