YOU STOLE MY STUNT!
I used to be able to do this back in eight grade! I even called it the zombie flick! Get it? Because you "flick"! Flip!
I mean I didn't do it with that kind of ballet precision but I played to that, pretending it really got my back, groaning in pain in crescendo until it was straight zombie roaring, hair covering my face for the dramatic effect, then I'd grab the closest person, usually a chick I'd name the "main character" before showing what a zombie flick even was and then I'd go to town with character work.
This made me think about my self-assesment of my flexibility. It's difficult to explain, but I always lacked "front" flexibility. Touching my toes was always a challenge. But I could always perform the bridge from standing position, even though the girl that did ballet and thus got cred and fame as most flexible in class couldn't do it. But then I could never perform a handstand without support from my head and/or a wall... Which is paradoxical because when I did the zombie flick I could stay a good second or two in a vertical position before landing on my feet.
I could do the split from since I first have memories up to around six years old but I stopped doing that because it was gay.
And I stopped doing the zombie flick once I started being asked to skip to the zombie part and it dawned on me what they were getting out of it.
Awkward.
The thing with my hand kept bothering me, so I decided to go to a doctor, who didn't tell me much, only that it would get better eventually. I had the opportunity to go to a chiropractor so I took it. So it turns out, apparently, I had liquid in that area that needed to be wrung out. So I had a woman holding my hand, chatting with me while squeezing it all over and wringing my finger for an hour... And it got better. This was a month ago but I've been playing it safe, testing my hand without ever pushing myself too hard, and it seems I'm fully healed! Today, I played piano for a full hour and there were no issues!
One thing that the orthopedist and the chiropractor had in common was they both "diagnosed" me with joint hypermobility.
Apparently, it's supposed to hurt when I bend my finger and hand in the way it was making me hurt.
WHICH EXPLAINS A LOT OF THINGS!
Well it doesn't hurt anymore, so I'm back, baby! In any case, this is one of the reasons I was so happy about recovering the ability to perform the bridge. I still can't do it from a standing position and frankly I'm increasingly scared of trying and seriously damaging my back out of karma, but it is the one stunt I want to recover.
Cat walk, super saiyan, shukuchi and slow mo jump can wait.
Oh, right, "Akebi-chan no sailor-fuku" (henceforth "sailor-fuku).

NOT SURE
I dunno man, it's too early to tell. Is it a leisurely stroll through the garden of fetishism, or a iyashi-kei with yuri undertones? Well it could be all of that at once. I'm not thinking too hard about it right now, honestly. That with having to salvage academia and me wanting to once and for all prove the superiority of Nippon Animation's Hunter X Hunter against Madhouse's and expose Togashi as an unmotivated author who lost his touch as early as the chimera ant arc. Seriously, did we all see the same palace invasion kerfuffle?!
What do you mean, you're here for an Akebi-chan review?! If you wanted to read personal notes, you'd click on them?! Humble bragging?! What's the matter, did you not see the fusuma favicon's color? Pro wrestling lingo in the header title got you distracted? It's the same as Life&Time's! You're in a blog page! You've been had!
... I'll publish the review once the anime is complete.
