I feel like the only acceptable adaptation of AFTG would be a sports anime. It's the only medium that could match the intensity of Neil's inner monologs and not make it look completely ridiculous.
Also, when was the last time you saw a straight sports anime?
Does Fyodor know how old Dazai is? Like, I imagine Dazai looks older than he is just from the everything in his life. So, does Fyodor know he’s 22 or does he think he's older? If someone told him, would "I've lived multiple lifetimes" Fyodor just be like, "What do you mean my intellectual equivalent is a fucking child??"
Hypothetically, if Fyodor took over Chuuya’s body, would Arahabaki go nuclear? It's implied in Stormbringer that Arahabaki is only dormant because his vessel is Chuuya specifically. And we know Chuuya only has some access to Arahabaki’s power since he doesn't have the black flames or turn into a monster like Verlaine did with Guivre. So, would Fyodor be able to restrain the god? Or would he instantly go into corruption mode?
On that note, would he be able to take over Lovecraft since it's implied he's not human and even Dazai couldn't nullify him?
I like that there is a legitimate reason to explain how a technique works in JJK. We all know it's just a trope in anime to call out/explain abilities and a quick way for the author to inform the reader/viewer what's going on. But making it so that explaining a technique makes it stronger is a creative way to incorporate that trope and provides a believable reason as to why a character would be willing to explain their attacks to an opponent without it enturely being an actual detriment.
@radiant-7 No historical proof?! Yasuke was a real living, breathing person! He was alive in the 1500s and is famously the first Black samurai! A literal five second Google search will tell you that. How can you have a problem with the creators being historically accurate with what he is most famous for?
Yasuke (Assassin's Creed Shadows)
See, with all the antiblack racism we've been put through over this man's sheer existence, is proof enough that he's excellent Black character design. Everyone rise and give Yasuke a standing ovation right NEOW-
Sorry, I didn't mean it in an intelligence way (just said intellectual equil because thats how he precieves him. Ranpo is definitely as well, but Fyodor doesn't seem to care about him) or that he would precieve Dazai as a literal child. I meant it in a "Oh you're a lot younger than I thought" way. For example, I was born in the 90's and when my best friend from work said she was born after 2000 I said "You're a child" jokingly meaning "You are so young" and then had a "fuck I'm getting old" moment. It wouldn't change Fyodor's perception of Dazai at all, but he'd probably feel his age a bit.

I mean, good thing the food can't kill him twice. Right? 🤣
Xie Lian would have one of those ‘making my husbands lunch/dinner’ channels and the comments would be full of people unsure of he’s genuinely that bad of a cook or is slowly trying to kill his husband.
One of my favorite things in AFTG is how the author deals with consent, particularly between Neil and Andrew. "Please" is such an easy go-to to make something not sound like an order or demand (especially for more aggressive characters, i.e., "Let me x/Do x, please"), but she completely took that off the table in this case. It becomes even more of a challenge when you take into account how Andrew’s bluntness can be taken as rude, but it's offset so well with Neil needing it spelled out to him because romantic interest go right over his head. Also, once a boundary is set, it's set. No questions asked. No testing it. And despite Neil being dumb as bricks to most things (bless his heart), most of those boundaries aren't even verbally discussed. It's either trial and error, observation of the other, or just left for the other to initiate. And there's no question to the reader that "no" or any sign of hesitation will be taken as "no." It's kinda refreshing to see it portrayed that way in media.
Love your writing!
Thank you! 💜💜💜 I should be posting more soon!
I just realized that all my medication sounds like Pokémon names. Like "I choose you, Lexapro!" or "My eevee evolved into a Bupropion."
So, I've been reading the webtoon for Tower of God after watching the anime and came across something that I'm sure is unintentional, but hilarious none the less. In ep. 101 of the Webtoon, Rak says "Son of a turtle," which implies that "turtle" equates at least loosely to "bitch." So Rak has been calling everyone "bitch" the entire time and I think that just makes it so much funnier.
