please rant about Madou Monogatari: Big Kindergarten Kids

No problem!

Madou Monogatari: Hanamaru Daiyouchi Enji (or Madou Monogatari: Big Kindergarten Kids as the fan translation calls it) is an RPG in Compile's Madou Monogatari series released on the Super Famicom (Japanese SNES). This game came out when Madou's spinoff series, Puyo Puyo (you might have heard of it) had reached popularity in Japan, so it was actually advertised as a "Puyo Puyo RPG".

The main story is quite simple. A kindergarten-aged Arle Nadja has to find one of several Exam Certificates scattered around the world to be able to take her final exam. One morning a stork brings down a letter for her, but neither Arle nor her mother can read it. Arle takes the letter to her grandmother, who tells arle that the letter is a legend that tells of eight Secret Stones. Whoever gets all of them can have a wish granted if they bring it to the lake on top of Sage's Mountain, so Arle naturally goes on an epic quest to collect 'em all.

Gameplay-wise, it might be your standard RPG fare, but all most games in the Madou Monogatari series are missing something that's standard for other RPGs: there aren't any numbers. The only value that still retains a numerical value is the amount of money you have on hand; everything else (e.g., your health, your magic, opponent's health, and even the level your character is currently at) is represented by text. Arle will say stuff like, "I'm supercharged! This is perfect!" "Gee, my body feels... heavy..." "Oww! It hurts real bad!" "I'm gonna get knocked out..." to indicate her health. Likewise, she says things to indicate the health of the enemy she's fighting and her magic. It's actually a really cool little system, and works great for people who haven't played an RPG before. Ironically, it can actually be harder to get used to if you've played quite a few traditional RPGs, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy as Puyo Pie.

Big Kindergarten Kids strays a bit from other games in the series. While most Madou games are first-person, this game features a top-down viewpoint found in many SNES/Super Famicom RPGs. Also, running away from battles never fails, whereas it had a chance of failing in other titles, which means if you're particularly low on health, you can nip out of a fight if you're not in the mood to deal with crazy. Another neat thing is since you're in a top-down RPG now, you won't have to deal with annoying menus to use special items. Just use the L and R shoulder buttons to switch between the items, and use the Y button to use it. Awesome!

This game features a lot of the cast of the Puyo games you've come to know and love (although Schezo seems to be completely absent from the title, which sucks). Quite a few characters you might've met before in Puyo Puyo 2 in particular make appearances here.

All in all, while it does contain some cryptic and confusing parts to it, Madou Monogatari: Big Kindergarten Kids is an amusing and very enjoyable game, and I very much do recommend playing it, especially if you're new to the RPG genre - it's the perfect entry-level RPG. There's even a fan translation so you can play it in English, plus one for Portugese that is still kinda buggy. Definitely one of my favorite SNES/Super Famicom games, and believe me, I have quite a few!

Aki arrives late for Pool Day at the daycare (Chainsaw Man Daycare AU based on sketch by Twitter's cosie)

The kids and Himeno: *standing next to the daycare pool, dressed in swimsuits*

Aki: Sorry I'm late!

Himeno: *turns and sees Aki shirtless and wearing black boardshorts* Ak-Aki-sensei! Just as expected! No. *stares at his abs* Above and beyond.

Aki: Sorry I'm late.

Himeno: No, no! Not at all! *bows at Aki* I hope I don't cause trouble today!

Aki: *bows back at her* I hope I don't either.

Himeno: *slightly raises her head and sees Aki's abs again causing her to blush*

Aki: *confused*

Himeno: Nothing.

Aki: These boardshorts. My old one got worn out and I bought these new boardshorts...

Himeno: *nervously waves both of her hands at Aki and tries not to stare at his abs* No, it's not weird at all! It's a wonderful pair. Yes! it's really styl- No, AKi-sensei, your boardshorts are abs- definitely blinding me.

Aki: Really? These boardshorts is a bit plain, so it won't blind people...

Himeno: No, I didn't mean...

Violence: *watching from afar with Kobeni* Himeno as always.

Kobeni: I don't want to grow up like her.

Beam: Himeno! Let's get swimming!

Himeno: Oh! Right! Time for warm-up exercises!

The rest of the kids: Okay! *they assemble to have their warm-up exercises*

Himeno: *about to position herself in front of the class*

Aki: Himeno-sensei!

Himeno: *turns around*

Aki: That gray bikini suits you.

Himeno: *blushes* Thanks. Let's start with the warm-up exercises.

Aki: Yes, let's. *joins Himeno in leading the class*

A Yohamaru headcanon that I’ve been thinking about recently is that while Yoshiko fell first, Hanamaru fell harder.

When they were in kindergarten together, Yoshiko developed a little crush on Hanamaru. Yoshiko’s mom remembers when her daughter saw the other girl for the first time and how she excitedly asked “Mom! Mom! Is that an angel?!” During their time apart, Yoshiko’s crush had seemingly disappeared. However, it resurfaced the day they reunited on their first day of high school. Yoshiko’s feelings had come back even stronger than before and she definitely worked herself into a tizzy just thinking about it.

Looking back on her days in kindergarten, Hanamaru always treasured the time that she spent with Yoshiko the most. When they were separated, she’d think about her from time to time and wonder if she was doing okay. So imagine her surprise when the two of them managed to find each years later. In her mind, it was just like something out of the many books that she read. When she realized that she had developed a crush on Yoshiko, it hit her like a freight train. She was head over heels for the incredibly eccentric girl that she often loved to tease.
