why is no one talking about how Kevin Day speaks Japanese too and can probably watch anime with no subtitles nbd,, i mean if you think he isn’t into sports animes then you are wrong because he has secretly seen every episode of Yuri On Ice, i bet he even works out with his earphones in so he can listen to “History Maker” on repeat
No way in hell is there no sports anime about exit and no way in hell is there no character loosely modeled after Kevin and now way in fucking hell does he not follow this show religiously and tweets @ the creators in fluent Japanese with his thoughts on every episode which they absolutely retweet every single time.
“no, Nicky, of course the show isnt about me?? Look, it’s about this guy named kyle?? And he’s trying to beat his arch rival Ricky, see,, they used to be best friends but Ricky was holding Kyle back so Kyle switched teams. No, nicky, nooo,, Kyle isn’t even like me at all!! Look, see?? Our tattoos aren’t even the same???”
“Sure, kevin”
Listen I see your tags but I raise you: Kevin is far too aware of his own image (and the creators are nowhere near subtle enought) for him to not understand that it’s supposed to be him and Riko but he watches it anyway because there’s nothing quite as entertaining as seeing Tetsuji “emotions are for the weak” Moriyama’s calm but intimidating demeanor be overdramaticized beyond all reason or comedic effect.
They make a second season about Neil’s freshman year rivalry between the Foxes and the Ravens and Kevin ropes the entire team into watching it with him and they make elaborate drinking games for every episode. Do not think that the Foxes wouldn’t hold the actions of anime characters against their real-life counterparts. They would. Kevin films it all. This is what power feels like.
