Swords and Petals

We won't take this lying down. We will fight for our history.

Thank you!

so i’ve been watching TONS of touken ranbu and i was wondering exactly how tall all of the characters are so i made a comprehensive chart of their heights instead of studying for midterms

the only height that i’m missing is chiyoganemaru, but since he is categorized as a tachi and based on his build, i think that he’s around the same height as mikazuki munechika

Whenever I watch any show or video, I’m always multitasking. It wasn’t until the 6th (or so) viewing, that I even noticed this gem.

It’s Muramasa doing Honmare Pon from the 05-19 Evening Show of SRS22

I’m too lazy to caption the gifs, but here is what’s going on

I'm pretty much not happy at all that people referring Touken Ranbu as "Gay swords". The thing is, it's pretty much disrespectful for the actor and the whole series that doesn't even put any romantic things on their plays. And as always, if you aren't even bother to watch or even to know the shows and such, then don't even bother to refer them as something like that.

memebrained comments are also a huge problem on twitter to the point that they're making non-English speaking artists delete their works/private their accounts because the "jokes" don't translate well and the artists feel harassed.

And I’m kind of excited to be able to have Ichigo and Tonbokiri fight alongside each other as I learnt about the following a little while back: 

At the Battle of Komaki and Nagakute when Tadakatsu led a mere 500 soldiers to confront a force of 80,000 led by Hideyoshi, vassals Kiyomasa Kato and Masanori Fukushima advised killing Tadakatsu. Hideyoshi, however, who had heard about Tadakatsu’s gallantry at the Ane-gawa River, had tears in his eyes when he forbade the killing of Tadakatsu.

Hideyoshi said to his men, ‘He is purposely showing his bravery by leading an outnumbered troop against our large force, probably with the intention of putting distance between us and Ieyasu’s army by holding our troop for a while.’

'When we destroy the Tokugawa family, we should take him alive to make him my kenin (retainer).’

After Hideyoshi and Ieyasu reconciled, Hideyoshi called upon Tadakatsu and asked, 'Which is more important to you, the gratitude for Hideyoshi or that for Ieyasu?’ and Tadakatsu answered, 'Although the gratitude for you is deeper than the sea, Ieyasu is the lord of hereditary succession and it is difficult to overcome the passage of time.’

Dear Anon,

I think you are mistaken about something, so let me clear this up.

I am not sharing any video files on tumblr. I only share subtitle files. People rely on my subtitles. Maybe it's just me, but I believe the availablilty of English subtitles will increase official sales.

People aren't paying me. They are donating. The difference may be hard to grasp, but it essentially means I am offering a service without getting a guaranteed pay. All subtitles I offer are free. If people wish to do so, they may donate and thereby offer financial compensation in return for my service. Besides, the donations I've received so far don't quite cover the work hours I put in, so I wouldn't say I am making money off the 2.5D industry. If anything, it's pocket money.

All the money that has been donated has in fact been used to purchase 2.5D blu-rays, live-streams, tickets and merchandise. So, I would argue all that money actually goes back into the industry.

Whether or not illegal uploads actually lead to loss in revenue is still up for debate. Though I do not promote piracy, I actually believe that to a certain extent it may benefit the industry. If not for illegal uploads (with English subtitles), I would've never been dragged down the 2.5D rabbit hole and I would've never spent as much money on the industry as I have (and still am). One initial loss may lead to many profits.
