so “teikoku’s curse-part 1” brought in the best rating from the OG series?? I see old inazuma fans had really refined taste
 * ). give my boys their own ova, cowards! (disregarding all the other variables that could’ve made that one ep so viewed. maybe it was the only channel with signal or maybe it was a holiday and everyone was just lazying around watching tv lmfao)

meh, I don’t think it’s going anywhere. I know it’s supposed to be the longest series but, how much would it take for it to be the longest season? 66 eps? 70? they’re practically one third in. let’s all collectively agree to drop the whole “it’s going to be 100 episodes!” thing since that never came from anywhere. not perfectly nintendo, not siliconera, not a direct level 5 source. they did say they war god series (what are y’all calling it? I think I saw “seishin trio?”) would have 126 eps, but they never specified orion would have 100 of those, did they? (I know Angelo has explained this like 1000 times already but I get confused) a hiatus would sound good. every time there’s a recap ep or there’s no ep, someone is like “maybe this means the animators can focus on the next ep and we will get a good looking episode.” but the animation continues to be sub par. there’s only so much the animators can do with a low budget/time constraints/bad direction. a hiatus could give them enough time to find their footing

I love orion but I also like to see people trash talking it, for...petty reason. they did my boy sakuma so dirty, he did just as much as fudou and scored teikoku’s one non-hissatsu goal! (watch me do a complete 180 and be the one telling people to stop complaining and stop watching if they hate it so much if sakuma ever comes back smh)

oh, about that anniversary thing. didn’t they do something like that last year with the characters holding a thank you card? it was basically the same characters plus mizukamiya and sakuma and minus ichihoshi. nothing new was revealed at the event except that one video of the 3 orion bad boys...dancing and singing. this will probably the same.

anyway, about the orion fubuki thing ahmeddilmi said, from what i’ve seen from fubuki fangirls on twitter and from my experience with inazuma fans, I think that would actually hype people up a little more. sakuma wasn’t that big a name before shin teikoku propelled him to popularity, and kazemaru fans loved dark emperors and the depth it gave him. even kaji yuki himself said he would like shin teikoku fudou back cause he was so fun. inazuma fans eat that whole “brainwashed pretty boy/pretty boy with a dark side” thing like candy.

it’s funny cause fubuki fans were the first ones to complain about ichihoshi stealing shirou’s story but the fubuki fans i’ve seen were having a lot of fun with crazy theories/meta of fubuki somehow coming back as part of orion like a shin teikoku 2.0 (I say shin teikoku specifically and not dark emperors because of the whole forbidden technique thing.) hell, ngl, I, too, would love if fubuki came back wrong and with orion, repetitive as it may be. I love my edgy inazuma drama lmfao.

I keep getting mixed up and typing orio instead of orion. so while i’m at it, happy birthday to one of my favorite seishou boys!
