I'm going to start rambling about a made up anime and you all have to listen. Neko Kemono Dokan Force, aka NKDF. A factet of the POW-R universe and a certain skeleton girl's favorite anime. I do not have a while lot on this fictional series, but I definitely have some stuff!

Starting with the original manga made by Fumiko Yamamoto (it took me too long to remember her name) in around the late 1960s to the 1970s, though an anime interpretation didn't come until the 1990s. All iterations of the story have followed the same general beginning. 14 year old Miko Kettei is an ordinary girl who is sent to an academy for gifted superheroes. In the modern iteration of manga and anime (regarding the first series), these superpowered students all possess a POW, or Dokan as they're called in Japan. This academy is esteemed yet said to have a bit of a curse, every transfer student for the past couple of years has said to go missing, and as luck would have it, Miko is either chosen/volunteers to be the transfer student.

On her first day, Miko meets Katsumi Yamisei, a shy, standoffish girl who has an odd habit of hiding/disappearing whenever Miko tries to talk to anyone else. Next, Miko meets Mizuki Yamashita. A motherly upperclassman who takes Miko under her wing. Later in the day, she meets brothers Osami and Taiki Tanaka. Both upperclassmen, though at least a grade under Mizuki. Osami is a lazy prankster who would rather sleep or slack off than study, while Taiki is very confident, loud and brash, as well as is on top of all his studies. Often taking on waaaay too many extracurriculars. Plus, of course, all of them except Miko have Dokans. Katsumi's is unclear as first, though many people suspect it to be invisibility. (The real answer is spoilers). Mizuki, Osami and Taiki's I haven't quite come up with.

Within the first week at the new school, Miko (along with Katsumi) finds a set of magical jewels in a strange room in the basement of the school, surrounded by weird, satanic symbols. Miko finds five jewels, however there appears to have been more, though they're missing. The ones she finds are an red heart jewel, a light blue star jewel, a purple crescent moon jewel, an orange sun jewel and a blue moon jewel. After finding them, Miko and Katsumi have to fight a huge monster attacking the school and learn that the jewels can bestow Dokans/transform the holder into a magical girl themed around an animal. Miko getting an orange cat and Katsumi getting a silvery white kitsune. After wards, they both decide they need to use the jewels for good and to stop these demonic beast that start showing up. Thus becoming Nekonya and Kitsekon. They later recruit Mizuki, Osami and Taiki, who become Hiyakon, based on an arctic fox, Okamiaon, based on a grey wolf, and Inuwan, based on a shiba inu/some sort of dog. Katsumi refuses to tell or show the rest of the team her civilian identity, which ties into her character arc and backstory.

In general, the team of magical students fight crime and solve the mystery of the mysterious demonic force and these jewels. Though the series seems/starts out innocent, it quickly becomes darker the longer it goes one. Also, in the original manga, the jewels came from another planet, inhabited by an alien race of chibi animals that correspond to the animals the team's transformations are based on. Also, if y'all have any asks about this story and how it ties into the rest of the POW-R universe, ask away!

Thinking about... Magical girls.
