Oofuri 10 raw





Oh, Tajima! Oh, Mihashi!

Hanai pitching to Tajima. They are SO married. And Tajima and Mihashi are so going to have an affair.

Hanai is captain! I completely said he was going to be the hottest and this proves it.

And Mihashi's birthday. God, I SO want to write fic about this episode but I'll have to wait until it's subbed because I had no idea what was going on. Except for when Abe told Mihashi he'd be his catcher for three years.

This episode completely melted me. Completely. They couldn't be any sweeter, any of them.

This episode killed me so much. I don't even know where to begin. I just. a;lskdjgadsjgh

Hm, I may have to make myself not talk about Oofuri, or something. I can't quite be coherent about it, you know?

[identity profile] grasshopper.livejournal.com 2007-06-16 06:40 am (UTC)(link)
God, that is exactly it. I feel that if I start trying to talk about it, it will be like uncorking a bottle that no-one wants to drink.

Skirting around the actual LOVE AND FLAIL AND AMAZING that is the episode, though, I was excited by how much I did understand, and [livejournal.com profile] iciak's summary confirmed that I wasn't completely off base. Whee, Japanese. Also randomly, I sort of fell in love with Shinooka.

I like the idea that captains are chosen based on hotness, also. Brilliant theory :P I keep wanting to make, like, an animated icon of Hanai just perpetually taking off his shirt.

Seriously skirting the issue, actually, come to think of it. Random thoughts about the manager and people wearing shirts are not exactly why I love this anime so much. God, so inarticulate. This is problematic. :\

I just wanted to use this icon.

SUB DAMMIT SUB.

I so see that Tajima/Mihashi affair. It has loads of canon base.

The birthday-study party was something that left me floating in warmth for a while after reading it in the manga for the first time.

It is the kind of tender details that are missed or used only as crack-source in usual shonen/sports series.

I think one of the best assets of Oofuri is that it deploys tenderness just for the sake of it, while keeping a sports plot line. Like involving the mothers in a realistic way? Where do you see that? OK, I haven't read much of sports manga aside from several classics, but here there are thousands of little details that are not really necessary but which add so much more to the picture without making it look a random collage, and I must praise the author for managing it, and still staying on the verge of self-doujinshi ;D

Damn it, where are the subbed episodes? I'm in withdrawl and now, since you flaunt the joy of Oofuri in my face, I may brave the RAWs >__<

BTW know any place with screencaps? I'm doing anime icons right now and could work in some from Oofuri ones too...

Oh, Oofuri~! ♥

So very true. I'm not taking TajiMiha up to the romantic level, but I love the relationship they have. Dorks United, ha ha. <3 much.

I just watched the first 3 episodes and all I can say is that this series is charming the pants of me. I need to go read the manga and find the raw episodes!! Thay are all so terribly adorable!

I just finished reading all of the scanlated manga yesterday, and omg, I need more! More anime or manga (or y'know, better yet, BOTH)! *flails*

Even though the slash is so blatant, I don't think I fully ship any of the characters together yet, but I do find their interactions to be absolutely adorable (I am convinced that Abe has control issues!). ♥

Why is Entropy listing the Oofuri anime project as "trashed"? They're still doing the manga, apparently, but they seem to have broken up the joint with Saizen. The Saizen website doesn't say anything about it; they still list the project as a joint. *is puzzled*

Still, perhaps it'll mean faster subs once Saizen catches up with the backlog? Coordinating with another group must take a lot of time.

Also, my favourite scene is probably Tajima trying to draw a "2" on Abe to cheer up Mihashi and Abe having none of it. Oh, these boys. ♥

Saizen's continuing, I'm pretty sure. Their project status thread in the forum has been updated at least once since I noticed the trashing on the Entropy website. I'm actually rather glad; I like having more than one independent translation so that I can figure out alternative interpretations of the original Japanese and see which one makes more sense to me. And there's always something that's not quite as well-translated as it could be, as everyone's human, after all.

(Example: in ep01, Tajima's self-introduction is translated as him batting third or cleanup. But from listening to the anime, I've noticed they refer to the base positions in English and the batting order in Japanese. Which means Tajima's actually introducing himself as a third baseman and fourth in the batting order. Entropy translated it in ch01 as playing third base and therefore being number four, which does not make sense but is a closer translation.)

Tajima may be an airhead, but he's surprisingly perceptive and sympathetic when it comes to emotions. After all, he's the one who saves the day when everyone's not sure how to react to it being Mihashi's birthday. And I don't think that was entirely unintentional on his part. I ♥ him so much--though not quite as much as Abe, for I am a total sucker for the talented broody boy with the traumatic past.

Sorry for the off-topicness, but [livejournal.com profile] goldie suggested we might get on well as LJ friends. Is it all right if I add you?

spoilers:

You'll meet Hamada at episode 11? or 12? not sure but he's a fun character.
He's the Cheer Squad Chief for the baseball team and Izumi's senpai in junior high. He's also Mihashi's childhood friend way back but they lost contact. He's a year older but a repeater that's why he's stiil in first year and in th same class as Mihashi, Tajima and Izumi.

Tajima: You're a repeater? *shocked*
Hamada: Yeah...*embarrassed*
Tajima: Is it illness? Injury? Or just dumb?
Hamada: The last one...
Tajima: Ah! You're just dumb! Let's be careful, Mihashi!
-lol---
just an excerpt from on oofuri. i dont remember which..13 or 14

oh! and Hamada is mostly paired to Izumi. And Izumi is commonly known as the uke who headbutts his seme...lol

im babbling nonsense, sorry...
