YAAAY IM SO GLAD ^_^ its suuuch a good manga i love all the characters + the writing + the art soo much im truly so excited to see it adapted into anime

[mechawolfie]

also wrt the last (text post) reblog's notes I'm reminded of one of the number of reasons I was so frustrated w BNA's story. like both ogami AND michiru were being dumbasses but the story was very Michiru is 100% Right actually ogami needs to Get With The Times also GIANT BLUE EYES GOLDEN WOLF BEAM ATTACK. & while the giant blue eyes golden wolf beam attack Was pretty cool I was so tired from the story at that point

[tiredtriedfailures]

Ogami straight up eating the sacred snacks to be given to savior-god was hilarious

Alan Sylvastia

Safe to say, he's impressed.

Although he's seen beastmen with similar scale abilities, he sure hasn't seen one as fast as you are.

This causes intrigue within him.

He tries to use your powers for experiments for his company. Nothing unethical, just some measures of your energy.

Of course, he loves you too.

He wants to spend all of the time he can with you.

He still finds a way to be the dominant one in the relationship, despite your personality.

Shirou Ogami

Again, he's seen beastmen with powers on a similar scale to yours.

He's even able to catch up to you, funny enough.

He makes 100% sure you use your powers for good.

Also, he has you run errands for the beastman co-op.

He does take you up on challenges, just because he wants some action in his old man bones dammit.

Your activity has him internally swooning for you.

One of his favorite things to do is to lead you to big romantic date setups at fancy restaurants. It makes him Flustered to see your reactions.

Byakuya Togami

He is attracted to you, but he's full of regret too.

When you're really kicking up a storm, he has to remind you to “stop acting like an informal baboon.”

He still loves you though.

But your cocky personality can get to him.

He wants to prove himself to you. No reason for it, he just feels like he needs to.

He often fails. But you don't shame him for it.

In fact, you love him for his attempts. He tries, and he tries for you.

Above all, he wants you to be happy with him.

Nagito Komaeda

Nagito notices your attitude, but really doesn't care.

He doesn't take challenges seriously. Because he will never beat you.

He thinks that he will never be as talented as you.

Of course, as soon as you catch on, you do everything in your power to make sure he knows that, while he may not be as fast or as powerful as you, he is more than enough.

He loves watching you. It's one of the best things he's ever watched.

You're one of the best things he's looked at.

He says your talents bring hope not only to him, but to others.

Kokichi Ouma

“Wow, you've got some speed! I could use you to take out my enemies.”

Of course, he jokes about using you in his “Supreme leader” job.

You love challenging each other to do things.

You're almost like 2 bros, as opposed to lovers.

But, you're still lovers through and through.

“Ooh, that face, I'm jealous! I just wanna kiss you right now.”

He admires you. And he loves to see you flustered.

He takes every opportunity he can to compliment you, and give you praise.

He means it, though. Despite the fact that his main goal is to Fluster you.

You two are a great match. This is sure to go on for a while

relationship hcs ; shirou

requested by ; 🐜 anon (14/06/23) [1/2]

fandom(s) ; brand new animal

fandom masterlist(s) ; here

character(s) ; shirou ogami

outline ; “🐜 anon because i love BNA and 100% wasnt the person to recommend it whaaaat.... .

Shirou Ogami relationship and smut hcs?

also i accidentally typed shitou Ogami for a second there 😭”

warning(s) ; canon typical references to violence/discrimination/etc

it takes a long time for shirou to trust someone enough to get close to them — like of course he cares for all beastmen and will protect them but that doesn’t mean he’s close to them by default, he’s actually incredibly guarded and private

so this would only ever work on a basis of acquaintances -> friends -> lovers — and it would be a lengthy process to move from one step to the next

or, in other words: he’s not someone who rushes into things so any sort of relationship progression with him is going to be slow and steady at the best of times

but even once you are in a relationship with him, things aren’t exactly cut and dry

he’s protective over you, of course, and will always keep an eye (or, more aptly, nose) out for you to make sure that you’re safe when you’re away from him

he makes sure that you take care of yourself — whether that’s resting and eating enough, taking any medications you need or keeping you from overworking yourself (depending on what your habits are)

like he’ll start off by gruffly reminding you to take a break or rest or eat, and if that doesn’t work he’ll pick you up and do everything shy of actively forcing you to do some self care

will lend you his coat if you mention being cold, but it’s always in a sort of dismissive way — though he does appreciate the sight of you wearing his clothes, even if he doesn’t show it

not very big on physical affection and can get overwhelmed by it if you’re too forward — prefers to show his love through acts of service instead

he’ll substitute cuddling for breakfast in bed, or replace public kissing with date nights spent on rooftops discussing history and the stars

the furthest he’ll go with physical affection in public is a peck on the lips or a kiss on the back of your hand — in private he’s a bit more affectionate but not by much

flusters under praise and genuine compliments but will occasionally praise/compliment you in return in a roundabout casual way — e.g. ‘good job’, ‘not bad’ or ‘nice shirt, when did you buy it?’

has a possessive/territorial streak and will intimidate the hell out of anyone who tries to flirt with you — especially if they’re human — but will vehemently deny any and all accusations of jealousy

has an excellent memory and keeps track of things like anniversaries and birthdays with ease — but he also makes sure that you keep on top of things like medication and appointments when you’re due for them (be that something minor like a checkup or hay-fever, or something more significant like physiotherapy or painkillers)

loves hearing you talk about your passions/interests/hobbies and will quietly listen and ask questions where appropriate — but even if you’re not talking to him, you can catch him staring at you out of the corner of your eye

if you’re the type of partner who steals his clothes (a hermit crab, basically) then he’ll quickly become accustomed to it and will even set aside some of his shirts and jumpers for you to wear — namely so that you stop ‘borrowing’ his work clothes

if you joke about being in the world’s largest age gap relationship then he’ll just shake his head and sigh — you’re not wrong but he’s not going to encourage you with a proper response

though they’re not as frequent as they used to be, shirou does occasionally suffer from nightmares — reliving the last few days he spent in nirvasyl as well as how he died and the lives he took in the aftermath

this is the only time you’ll see him cry and you’re the only person who gets to see him be vulnerable in this way — he won’t seek you out for comfort but he won’t push you away if you try to give it to him (just don’t bring it up afterwards as he’d rather not think about it)

doesn’t talk about his past often but he will teach you innocent things like dances, songs and how to prepare some of the dishes he grew up with — things that aren’t linked to the fall but instead the cultural core of nirvasyl

doesn’t explicitly tell anyone that he’s in a relationship because he prefers to keep his private and professional lives separate, but michiru, gem, melissa and mayor rose all know you — with michiru in particular always asking about you and teasing shirou about being ‘whipped’ for you

if you’re a beastman like him then he constantly worries about your safety — especially if you travel outside of anima city

he’s all too aware of the dangers faced by your kind and, unlike him, you’re very much so mortal and at risk of losing your life to an anti beastman group — and he can’t imagine losing you so soon

in his more animalistic form he’s much worse at hiding his emotions and will give some not-so-subtle tells that he’s happy to see you — namely wagging his tail (no matter how much he tries to stop it)

he’s a living space heater so sharing a bed is only really viable in the winter because otherwise there is a really good chance that you’ll overheat — especially since he does somewhat cling to you in his sleep and has a strong enough grip that there is little to no chance of you getting out before he wakes up

usually just calls you by your name over any sort of pet name — unless he’s introducing you to someone else at which point you’ll gain a suffix denoting your relationship (e.g. ‘this is (name), my —‘)

so partner if you’re dating (he finds girlfriend and boyfriend to be a bit childish)

fiancé/fiancée if you’re engaged

wife/husband/spouse if you’re married

but yeah that’s the closest you’ll get because he isn’t really the type to use cutesy nicknames with his spouse

Best Underrated Anime Group L Round 2: #L1 vs #L2

#L1: Normal Girl™ accidentally joins Kansai’s biggest criminals

#L2: Girl turns into a tanuki and learns about racism

Details and poll under the cut!

#L1: Akudama Drive

Summary:

After the fall-out of a war between the Kanto and Kansai regions of Japan, citizens of Kansai now live in a dystopia. Criminals are bigger and badder than before, resulting in a specialized Execution Division rising to combat these ‘Akudama.’

An ordinary person accidentally wedges herself into the midst of a gang of the worst of the worst, and now she’s on the run with Kansai’s top Akudama to fulfill a cryptic mission. Her goal was to get back to her normal life, but one thing leads to another and she gets trapped, bound by her sense of morals to stick with her terrible team.

The team in question consists of a Brawler with a need to find the toughest opponent to fight, a Doctor who toys with lives, a Hacker who has run out of games to play, a Courier who always gets the job done, a Cutthroat with a kill count of 999 bodies, and a Hoodlum who was set for a prison sentence of 5 years. Joining them is the Black Cat, their mysterious recruiter, who promises great wealth to the Akudama.

Propaganda:

Akudama Drive is an anime produced by a video game company, and it’s amazingly a single standalone piece, unlike their other projects. The three people who lead the creation of the Danganronpa series (character designer, story writer, and music composer) came together and produced something so different from their usual pattern and it pays off.

The character designs are so fun, the music vibes hard, and the story is better than anything seen in DR before since (no offense meant) the cast all get fleshed out as individuals beyond a single trope. Everyone is depicted as morally grey, and it’s such a fun experience to watch the madness break out and root for the bad guys or the bad guys.

Every scene is so pretty, and you can see the color theory SLAPPING THE SCREEN, it’s so pleasing to look at. The voice acting is also top tier! The character evolution can literally be heard in the voices 🛐 The anime is a fun show with cool stunts and epic battles, but it’s still got some interesting social commentary if you’re the type that loves dissecting that madness. There’s a little something for everyone!

Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Rape/Non-Con, Self-Harm, Constant Flashing Lights and Screaming

#L2: BNA: Brand New Animal

Summary:

Throughout history, humans have been at odds with Beastmen—a species capable of changing shape due to their genetic "Beast Factor." Because of this conflict, Beastmen have been forced into hiding. Anima City serves as a safe haven for these oppressed individuals to live free from human interference.

During a festival celebrating the town's 10th anniversary, Michiru Kagemori, a human who suddenly turned into a tanuki, finds that Anima City is a far cry from paradise. After witnessing an explosion in the square, she is confronted by Shirou Ogami, a seemingly indestructible wolf and sworn protector of all Beastmen. As they pursue the criminals behind the bombing, the two discover that Michiru is anything but an ordinary Beastman, and look to investigate her mysterious past and uncanny abilities. Could she turn out to be the missing link between Humans and Beastmen?

Propaganda:

This is one of the first few anime I watched when I was getting into it, so I'm rather fond of it. Though the show is only one season, overall it's pretty solid and ties everything together at the end. I also really like how they utilize color in the animation (it especially makes fight scenes more interesting to watch). The worldbuilding they have with the beastmen is pretty neat as well. This anime is good if you're looking for something quick to watch.

Trigger Warnings: There is some violence, and since the characters are animals, that may fall under animal cruelty. There are a few parts in the show where the colors get pretty intense, so that could be considered flashing lights. There is racism, as the beastmen are discriminated against by humans.

Hello, how are you? By any chance, do you create headcanons for Brand New Animal (BNA)?

Hello, I am doing alright! How are you?

And I thank you for sending this in. Also, so sorry this took a bit to write; I didn’t check my Tumblr for awhile. But I was so happy when I saw it!

So, yes, I do. But I haven’t written any headcanons in a hot minute.

Some headcanons are a bit angsty, but there are sweet ones, and inbetweens.

There are not a lot, so, sorry about that.

Shiro Ogami:

- I get the feeling that he visited the Black Market a couple times, just to see if any Beastman related stuff was possibly being sold.

- He wants to take revenge on humans, but knows that won’t do anything, so he just sticks/stook to saving Breastman.

- But if there is/was humans involved in any cruel act against them, he will use violence.

Nazuna Hiwatashi:

- She felt outcasted when she transformed, and since she also wanted to be an idol she jumped at the first opportunity to continue her goal, and in time gained her confidence back.

- It’s easy to mess with her head and lie/manipulate to her, but Michuri is one of possibly few that doesn’t do that to her.

- I feel like that’s also why Nazuna tends to push her away and then run towards her again throughout the series.

Michiru Kagemori:

- It’s mentioned briefly in the first episode that she had trouble sleeping before she came to Anima City.

- Because of that, I believe she had really bad depressive episodes when she transformed, of course affecting her sleep.

- But Nazuna’s “kidnapping” was the event that raised her depression and anxiety.

- Both inevitably leading to a short period of self-isolation.

- She is terrible at giving nicknames.

- Nazuna probably ends up giving her suggestions for nicknames after Michiru gives up on it after all of them were rejected.

- Michiru’s parents wanted her to be as involved in many things as possible growing up, leading her to be very extroverted and athletic, also giving her the love for basketball.

- She fears not being able to help others, and losing people, especially ones she holds dear.

Marie Itami:

- I’m pretty sure either Shiro, Mayor B. Rose, or both, are preventing her arrest solely because she brings other Breastmen to Anima City…

- She’s an info. broker. You can not convince me otherwise.

- I feel like she used to sell stuff at the Black Market, too. Possibly where she met Shiro, but didn’t get the idea to go to Anima City likely until years later.

BNA (Brand New Animal) AU no one asked for but you're getting it

Man if you think the town was fucked before, HOO BOI- Okay LIs and their animals though:

Robin: Rabbit. No particular breed or species. Prefers to hide or generally avoids using their beast side as much as they can unless either really late for school, which is rare, or is in full Flight Mode. However, at high confidence, you start to see them change form a little more often just for fun. Probably gets teased by classmates and you a lot because "you know what they say about rabbits-" (Nothing. Not until Vrel finally lets me breed hi-)

Kylar: Bat. Again, no particular species in mind atm. Also the type to avoid taking their beast form unless backed into a corner, but if the Whitney vs Kylar path of their Halloween event says anything (and, you know, this is the same person who was willing to stab a bitch just for sitting next to you), you probably don't want them in this form to begin with. Imagining them crawling and clinging to ceilings makes me feel insane. Absolute goblin. Probably doesn't fly much even when it'd be more convenient.

Also, they're probably a fruit bat, but there's definitely rumors about the freak going around and biting people's necks and them always smelling like garlic probably doesn't help.

Whitney: Polar bear. Despite how aggressive they are, they actually find more entertainment making people submit in their human form and surprisingly has the most control of their shapeshifting. If Whitney transforms, you know shit is BAD and you're probably going to die. Their animal form is something of a boogeyman around school because of that.

Sydney: Cat. Like, a really, REALLY fluffy cat. Surprisingly comfortable in their beast form, but it's still rare (just doesn't see a point) and they mostly bring it out for extra warmth.

Avery: Secretary bird. Also considered a pretty or fancy looking hound (think salukis, borzois, greyhounds, afghan hounds etc). Just anything with long legs and looks very graceful or elegant and harmless which makes their true nature worse once out.

Eden: Haven't met them besides one encounter but I kinda imagine some sort of vulture. Maybe a bearded vulture. Like yes they're a hunter but listen vultures are still cool-

Alex: (Horned) sheep or goat. I really like imagining them absolutely headbutting the shit out of Remy's goons. I think out of everyone (second to Eden anyway), they're probably the most comfortable with their beast form and likes to run around on the farm in it when given the chance. Will let those close to them cuddle into their wool if a sheep and just relaxing on the farm.

Now for the town...

Forgive me since it's been about a year or two since I watched BNA but considering how...let's say, unhinged this town is already, I'd imagine that folks are more free in switching between forms but there's still certain circumstances it should be avoided (like transforming during an argument can be seen as a threat or act of aggression even if triggered by accident like a heat of the moment type of thing). I also choose to ignore the ending that basically makes beastmen seem like ticking bombs if they're stressed enough bc I just think it's dumb and with some of the dark shit in this game, this town would've been decimated a long time ago.

[roguemonsterfucker]

(Half fantasy half fanfic I guess lmao)

You ever watched the anime BNA (Brand New Animal)? Long story short, a race living alongside humans that are basically animals that shift from anthro to pretty much just a human. The have animal instincts and really identify more with it (there is a whole episode about an Albatross who doesn't want "human rights" because then he won't be able to migrate as he naturally would).

One of the characters is a giant immortal wolf who is worshipped as a god and works in social work. He's normally cool or a tad tsundere but I love anything that goes into his animalistic side ❤️ Especially since the main character is accidentally transformed into a beastman via a blood transfusion (she's a tanuki and gets transformation powers) so her going into heat for the first time and he takes her. Human form, beastman form, full sized giant wolf form?? 🥵 Her body can take it, she can adjust. Him becoming possessive over her for the DAYS she's in heat and essentially keeping her locked up.

(actually I have a thing about giant canines and their tiny human or human adjacent partner. Like "is there any possible way for their regular cock to fit let alone their knot. OMFG I think that's as big as my body" big. Like werewolves but way bigger 💖 and admittedly I prefer my monster partner to have the ability to consent it makes them acting feral in bed more fun imo)

Look

I love BNA

I love that wolf dude

I love this 😳

[newberinnings]

Go ahead, indodump to your heart's content about this beautiful series that is BNA

AAAA I LOVE IT SO MUCH ╮(￣▽￣"")╭ I love love LOVE the aesthetics SOOO MUCH ,,,, i mean look at them ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

I love the character design and the characters over all, even tho their extreme traits can be a bit exhausting (looking at michirus stubbornness) TT. Also nazunas dismissiveness of michiru’s attempts to help her made me a bit sad, ik that she didnt ask her for it but stiiilll (*´◒`*) At one point I was really pissed at the whole anime; when sylvasta fooled michiru and nazuna AND the mayor. I cant rlly blame nazuna and michiru bc theyre naive and young ig (although i mean… come on) but THE MAYOR?! Anyways I was frustrated because i wasnt sure if the story was going to pursue the “big corporations are actually your friend and youre crazy for thinking that theyre bad guys” propaganda because they genuinely all turned on shirou and acted as if he was crazy (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Anyways I still have one episode left so I hope they dont all die or something (˶‾᷄ ⁻̫ ‾᷅˵)

thank you for the ask!!!! mwah

So yeah, wanted to combine one of my favorite series (And focus of this blog) with pokemon. So I turned Nazuna and Michiru into a pair of pokemon lines. Took a bit and was basically a chance to practice with my new tablet but I had tons of fun. Also just cause they’re the main characters and kind of OP in canon, I gave them some OP abilities for the fun of it. Also wanted to include the girls’ human origins in a very pokemon way. A kin to Kadabra or a bunch of ghost pokemon’s dex entries.

I may go and make some more of the main cast into pokemon but besides that, hope you liked the fakemon.
