is that a cigarette?? 👀
it is!! the drawing's by the storyboard artist for the OVA (tomoyo kamoi) who clarifies in the note that tadashi smoking is just her delusion (jp fandom term for headcanon)
PSA: reki does actually say his childhood friend's name out loud in the OVA, it just got missed in the official subtitles! his name is yoh (耀)! no family name, but the kanji means sparkle/shine ✨

Heads up that after all that they’ve pretty unceremoniously recast DW so now’s a great time to not watch the dub~
I just saw the trailer and it was such a shock. I guess a recast was inevitable but it feels so dirty of CR to do 🙁
anyway, reminder that adam's original dub voice, david wald, left crunchyroll due to years of alleged workplace abuse, homophobia and mail theft dating back to before the funimation merger, including treatment behind the scenes on sk8 that he described as comparable to his harassment by the fandom
Oh My God they recast Adam in the dub 😧
Him and his slides!

Seeing Reki's past best friend as a kid has made me unreasonably attached to him. He was so cute!! And now he can't skate because of an injury. It isn't fair 😔
I hope you enjoy it! ☺️
Yes! It always pays to be an Adam and Tadashi fan 😌 Adam is God's (Utsumi's) favorite!
Yes! The boop! They're so cute!

It was Joe that was talking about the Adam, right? He's the one that sas talking about the mysterious skater named Adachi lol! So it was Joe that knew about Adam first and told Kaoru about him!! 👀👀

I definitely need to rewatch that segment again. There was a lot going on there

The one thing that worries me is Adam practicing Full Swing Kiss again 😅. I know he's still gonna be his same extra self but his Full Swing Kisses aren't exactly his greatest moments. He's probably counting on Langa dodging or countering it tho

😭😭😭 Adam touches Tadashi at least three times in this OVA without his gloves on 😭😭. Adam in his S outfit, no mask, no gloves!!!

Like they're so much more in tune with eachother's needs and desires. So much more encouraging. Even them spending time away from eachother, having that freedom & still reuniting for S feels refreshing and good for them. 😭

And Tadashi having opinions about running S and commenting encouragingingly about Adam's creative and artistic vision for S is also Tadashi making up for his previous attempts at taking S and skating away from Adam.

Something about Adam letting Tadashi sleep in & not calling him out on his lie of waking up early feels like Adam making up, I guess, for his previous harsh treatment of Tadashi. He's giving him time, freedom, encouraging him when Tadashi gives his opinion
Unbothered. Moisturized. Happy. In my lane. Focused. Flourishing.

Adam says this is Tadashi's first day off in a long time. So it's not a regular thing. I wonder what led to Adam deciding to give Tadashi a rare day off. Has he become hyper aware of Tadashi's well-being & no longer has the heart to deny Tadashi care? 🥺
this ova segment has me feeling insane
😍😍! I can't imagine how glorious it was!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THEY'RE ADORABLE!!!!!!!!
