Best Underrated Anime Group I Round 1: #I4 vs #I5

#I4: Colorblind witch meets her granny’s friends by time travel

Despite the kaleidoscopic magic ingrained in everyday life, Hitomi Tsukishiro's monochrome world is deprived of emotion and feeling. On a night as black and white as any other, amidst the fireworks spreading across the sky, Hitomi's grandmother Kohaku conjures a spell, for which she has been harnessing the moon's light for 60 years, to send Hitomi back in time to the year 2018 when Kohaku was in high school.

Hitomi's mission seems unclear, but her grandmother assures her that she will know when she gets there. Following a trip through time aboard a train driven by a strange yellow creature, Hitomi finds herself in stoic artist Yuito Aoi's room, and his drawings flood her world with color. What is Hitomi's purpose there, and why do Yuito's drawings return such breathtaking color to her drab world?

#I5: Comfort-food anime, 4 guys managing a cafe

Kyousui "Sui" Tougoku inherits a traditional Japanese-style cafe called Rokuhoudou from his grandfather, which he manages alongside Gregorio "Gure" Valentino, Tokitaka Nagae, and Tsubaki Nakao. Their hospitality par excellence undoubtedly turns any one-time visitor into a regular. Having gone through their own share of trials and tribulations, the staff at this modest cafe do their best to serve their customers—whether it be through tea, sweets, or even helping with the various troubles one may have.

Although most days pass pleasantly, the small world of Sui and his friends takes an unexpected path when their reputation as a cafe flourishes overnight.

Titles, propagandas, trailers, and poll under the cut!

#I4: Iroduku: The World in Colors

Propaganda:

It’s the kind of show I only watched once, but it stayed with me to this day. It has a unique story that, despite having supernatural elements, feels grounded in human emotions the most. A rare but solid example of magical realism.

The premise is so original, yet very easy to grasp from a start. The time-travel and magic simply lay a groundwork for the story to carry on. If you were ever frustrated by how in supernatural shows there isn’t enough time to explore characters’ emotional depth bc plot, then this anime will be a delightful breather for you. Because the whole show is about the main character’s healing process, learning to overcome her fears, opening up to others… It’s a journey of a lonely, broken person who finds meaning to her life in a distant timeline. And it’s wonderful and painful on all levels.

The visuals, animation, background art are all stunning. Usage of colour is meaningful, to portray heroine’s colourblindess with proper weight. The show isn’t black/white for the viewers, but when she sees colours, they truly make them shine. Soundtrack wise, ending song is heartbreakingly beautiful and encapsulates the feeling of the whole series perfectly.

TL;DR: It's magical but not intense. Sad but comforting.

(I hope I did it justice. Pls watch it, it has 12 eps that are 100% enough for this story <3 )

Trigger Warnings: Not stated.

#I5: Rokuhou-dou Yotsuiro Biyori

Propaganda:

The overall calming atmosphere of the café and the peace good food can bring—this forms the basis of the human interaction happening at Rokuhoudou, the café. We see people finding comfort in the food they have while at the café, and it seriously so sweet. A lot of people might enjoy this.

Trigger Warnings: None.

Azure Override: The [Fan] Sequel to Scarlet Nexus that Nobody Asked For or Cares About

I’m writing it! If you want to read it (probly not ngl) I’ll release it on AO3 in a week or two. The fanfic will include the following:

the POVs throughout the story of Akairo (Aka)2/ Murasaki, Aoi Murasaki, Kasane Randall, and Naomi Randall.

Detailed description of character mechanics if they were part of the game at the introduction to the fic

A trailer released on YouTube that will likely be released at the end of the fanfic

The resurrection of Naomi Randall and Nagi Karman

A love interest for Kasane (Akairo). If you aren’t a fan of wlw stories, avoid Aka’s path, where her crush on Kasane is a much larger plot aspect than in the other three.

Kyoka x Arashi (I had to add my favorite Scarlet Nexus ship propaganda here I’m very sorry, also, we should totally call it Double Speed imo. And again, if wlw isn’t your thing, avoid Kasane and Akairo’s paths, where this ship is much more prominent)

Major character death (shocking, I know)

Angst (it’s a Scarlet Nexus fic? You can’t live without)

Time travel (duh)

Mind control and emotional manipulation (This might be a touchy subject for people. I will warn you ahead of time when this is about to occur in a chapter)

Original characters & Ships

Interplanetary travel

Aliens

Zombies

Zombie Aliens

Planetary Colonization

Heavy Combat

Betrayals

Nagi x Yuito (if mlm ships aren’t your thing, avoid Naomi’s path, where this ship is much more prominent)*

Hanabi x Naomi (if wlw ships aren’t your thing, why are you reading this fic? I am a lesbian. I must preach.[I’m not trying to ‘indoctrinate your children’. It is just my preferred way of telling a story. Also, I am in high school. Cut me some slack please] But avoid Naomi’s path, where this ship is much more prominent)

Villain POVs (Aoi)

The introduction of new powers

Twisty plot twists (they’re very twisty)

And, of course, spoilers for Scarlet Nexus.

Surprise character POVS

*Aoi’s path is the straightest, if you simply want a heterosexual relationship as the endgame. This is in no way to depict heterosexual people as a villain. It just happens to veer away from the main cast of the story, and so it winds up being straighter, as Aoi’s love interest is .

The fic will be rated T, for Teen, and will include the warning tags ‘Graphic depictions of violence’ and ‘Major character death’. It will be posted under the Psued ‘DreamsAreNightmaresToo’, but will show up on the account profile as ‘Pyxilate’ (my AO3 account). It will have ‘Gen’ for its relationship tag. I may post it on Wattpad in the future if it gains enough traction.

!!! THE FIRST POV BEING RELEASED WILL BE AKA’S, THEN AOI’S AND KASANE’S. NAOMI’S PATH WILL BE LAST !!!

For those who have watched the underrated gem that is Iroduku, I’ve had a headcanon that Yuito is ace ever since I watched it two years ago. At this point, after watching it 2 more times and analyzing every detail of Yuito’s character and his romance with the female lead, no one can convince me otherwise. I could write a whole essay on this, from him literally being a walking embodiment of the ace flag half of the time to so many other subtle (and even unsubtle) signs that I, as someone who is ace, picked up on. Anyways, happy ace awareness week to all my fellow aces and to Aoi Yuito

Best Underrated Anime Group I Round 2: #I6 vs #I4

#I6: Highschoolers babysit kids—funny and sweet.

#I4: Colorblind witch meets her granny’s friends by time travel

Details and poll under the cut!

#I6: School Babysitters (Gakuen Babysitters)

Summary:

After losing both parents in a fatal plane crash, teenager Ryuuichi Kashima must adjust to his new life as the guardian of his younger brother Kotarou. Although Ryuuichi is able to maintain a friendly and kindhearted demeanor, Kotarou is a reserved toddler still too young to understand the reality of the situation. At their parents' funeral, they are approached by Youko Morinomiya, the stern chairman of an elite academy, who decides to take them under her care.

However, there is one condition Ryuuichi must fulfill in exchange for a roof over their heads and enrolment in the school—he must become the school's babysitter. In an effort to support the female teachers at the academy, a babysitter's club was established to look after their infant children; unfortunately, the club is severely short-staffed, so now not only is Ryuuichi responsible for his little brother, but also a handful of toddlers who possess dynamic personalities.

Propaganda 1:

It is one of the cutest slice-of-life shows, with some really sweet moments. It’s a bit sad that not many people know about it, because it is a very lovely show. Some downright hilarious moments with almost all lovable characters, each with their own quirks, and some unexpected, yet awesome friendships.

Propaganda 2:

It’s definitely one of my comfort shows. Cute, little slice of life where you see the activities of the kids in the club. (They’re super adorable and the stuff they do is so funny.) The bond between Kashima and his little brother, Kotaro, is so sweet, and I love seeing him open up to his new-found family.

Trigger Warnings:

Deaths in MC’s family, which are mostly mentioned in reference to grief. Nothing explicit or graphic. Also, one side character gets overly excited and has nosebleeds around the kids. It’s played for laughs, but at least he’s called out for it being weird. Lastly, there is a pedophile side character, and the other characters think he’s gross and find him uncomfortable to be with.
