Fandom 50 (1/50): Trillion Game
Mar. 9th, 2025 01:10 pmI optimistically signed up for
fandom50challenge even though I hardly ever post on DW! My first entry is about Trillion Game, a show that I got into the same way I got into Dr. Stone:
Step 1: fall randomly and deeply back into an old fandom of mine, Eyeshield 21. As you can imagine, 20 years on, this was an absolute ghost town. Understandable: the canon ended, it had its weaknesses that didn't entirely hold up over time, and American football is kind of lame.
Step 2: go questing for more of the same. Part of what intrigued me so much about Eyeshield 21 were a few specific characters and dynamics—and in 20 years, I don't think I ever found them done quite the same way elsewhere. So I went hunting for other things by the author, Inagaki Riichiro.
Step 3: profit??? This worked out once with Dr. Stone, which was fantastic! So I decided to try my luck with his current manga, Trillion Game.
