#anyways magical girl aus are lots of fun!!! do your best op!!!!

[wodimewoahtime]

okay so i don't have everyone done digitally!!! kohanes the only one done her ref sheet but i have photos of them in the sketchbook since i worked on it with an irl bestie, they're a bit messy tho☆彡

kohane- sheep song is from her singing and also hitsuji ga ippiki (her best comm imo)

her design was based off of hitsuji ga ippiki, her realize card, powerpuff girls z, and also precure a little bit!!!! (they all are lol) i wanted to keep each chara in their group concept as well, she has the hair from her lily card!!!

also she has headphones around her neck cause i wanted to give a "musical" item to all the leaders

ps. in general for all the designs i'm trying to keep to a "chara colour, white, black" sorta theme!!!

her graffiti cans are vbs coloured, and you can't really see her wearing it, but on the necklace on the right is her "magical girl item"

she didn't change much from her initial concept here acrually!!!! i think she attacks with a big graffiti can hammer i believe in her

minori is the only other chara i've started the digital drawing on lmao so from now on it's all gonna be sketchbook

i don't really need to explain naming her angels clover, but that's really the concept i tried spreading around her design!!!!

she's inspired by her lily card ofc (they're all either lily/neo inspired actually) but she's also totally based off her dream place card

a small detail you can't see here is that she's actually wearing archery gloves!!! she's the bow user in this au and she flies above the enemy to rain them down!!! (also her earpiece!!! )

also more of her initial planning from the sketchbook, i had a lot of trouble with her skirt....

her magical item is the clover barrette

ichika is meteor pulse!!!! also doesn't really need an explanation, there was an effort to make sure the names were based off their comms after all

i thought she would be difficult to design cause i had no idea for her, but she actually came together like a charm! you can actually see the actual first ichika idea on the second minori page

ichika didn't have a lily card so she has her neo hair!!! there wasn't an exact card i could say ichika is based off of like the other two but i did. make it with her connecting the stars cards in mind

she doesn't have enough fantasy feeling cards is the case lmao

i really wanted it to have a "school uniform" vibe on top of a "band" sort of feeling while also being a magical girl.... she ended up coming out very fun!!!! oh a detail that's hard to see here is that she actually has a barrette with music notes on it!!! and also she has a little earpiece with a mic on it

one thing i'm actually stuck on for ichika is the design for her guitar sword cause i think she has that kind of strings + sword quick attacks ya know?

her magical item is a meteor earring

kanade is night melody!!! ofc nightcord 25 ref

also a chara i didn't have any idea for actually??? i wasn't sure where to go for her concept since i felt like even tho she had a lot of "fantasy" type cards they were also a bit too dark and not directed in concept enough to base smth off it

so i built a whole lot of it off the feeling from her neo card!!! so i based it off of a "cyber magical girl" feeling she also has her neo hair ofc

top left is the first one. she was the hardest to find the direction for. what is that first one.....

i wasn't too worried about giving her a longer thing in the back cause she's totally not moving much during battle (healer/buffer/spell caster/glass cannon)

i ended up taking a power button as a motif, i thought about a musical motif but it somehow felt unfair to the others lmao

her design was based off cyberpunk, neo, and most importantly, cardia from code realize!!! i had a lot of trouble with the skirt shape until i copied the sillouettw off her thank you cardia

her magical item is a bracelet btw, she totally presses the power button on it to "power up"

the details that's hard to see for her is that actually the ribbon curling around from her back to the front is also supposed to be reminiscent of a power button.... also her headphones are one side normal earmuffs and the other side is the huge power button hair thing to the right

tsukasa is showtime pegasus!!! i was the most stuck on him tbh, all i knew was that his hair was gonna be knightkasa

i thought that hes attacking with his flag obvs, and he's star themed but not much else??? i based his outfit mostly off his lily card ofc, but i didn't feel like he was coming together???? i thought he had shorts obvs but idk???

the real brain activation was when i was looking at the lily costume and realized that he was wearing thigh high boots, huzzah!!! i think his design is my fav actually!!!

small details include his earpiece with wings on it, his tie which is supposed to resemble a unicorns horn, the shoes that give off an impression of horse riding, and black detailing on his sleeves that resemble a piano!!!

his magical item is a ring ofc, and he uses his flag as a lance/ buff the party

i also have a little page with how some of them look without their layers!!!

i can't show it here cause tumblr image limit but the back of tsukasas waistcoat has some piano like ribbons that work as a corset

i also actually have all of their power levels, speed levels, abilities, and fighting style but that's more pedantically and also a lot of text that i can't fit in the post rn (it might be fun if you did this with the individual groups!!)

do your best op!!! i hope my designs and thought process help you!!!!!

Expanding on the magical girl au post. Project sekai magical girl au...

This is more for designs than anything but I might come up with a Lil lore

Anyway for now I'm just pinning down the theme for each outfit (if anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them) a lot are going to be blank for a bit

Minori: angels and clovers!

Haruka: something similar to her Ai no Material outfit, penguin themed kinda sorta?

Shizuku: birds! Feathers and shit. It's gonna look different from minorin's I promise

Airi: I have no idea other than a cat. if anyone has ideas for her I'd love to hear ;-;

Ichika: stars! Blue stars! The four pronged ones

Saki: hmmm... um. You know dark Festa shizuku's outfit. That but pastel. Or school girl themed!

Shiho: all I know is that she won't have a dress shell have a suit. Um. Guys help

Honami: baker themed! Probably gonna be the easiest to design lol

Mizuki: RIBBONS EVERYWHERE.

Rui: Help.

Taking It Up The Ass Isn’t Character Growth - A Rant

So, in response to an ask a while back, I said I had a rant brewing on fandom and sex positions, and well, a lot of you wanted to see it, so here you go. You literally asked for it.

Disclaimer: This is going to talk a lot about top/bottom roles in slash fic and fandom attitude towards them and is heavily filtered through the lens of my own tastes and experiences with fandom. I’d also like to be upfront that I am 100% in favor of people writing whatever fictional content they want, and it’s not what fandom does with characters that bothers me but rather how that translates into attitudes towards real, live people. Also, this is the essay version of a slow burn AU because I regurgitate my entire fandom history before getting to the point. Beware.

I discovered fan-fiction around a decade ago, had no clue what the hell it was, got hooked and dived deeper. I started participating in fandom circa 2013, and I was fairly young and also completely inexperienced both sexually and romantically. The fandom in question was Hannibal and my ship of choice was Hannibal/Will. It was/is a very chill fandom in general, but we had our drama. And chief among the contentious topics was—you guessed it—the top/bottom debate. I can’t actually remember any other topic that was discussed and argued for so ardently in that fandom, at least in those days. Even after I drifted away, I came across a few posts on the matter.

Generally, you had two camps—people who supported strict roles and those who were in favor of switching*. And because we’re a society plagued by illogical assumptions, the strict role camp mostly had people who thought Mr. Big Bad Cannibal in the Fancy Suits wouldn’t take it up the ass because he’s older, more experienced, more mentally stable, and of course, more ‘dominant’ in personality. Yes, that sentence is chock full of problematic shit. I am aware. Lots of people were aware and argued strongly against attributing top/bottom roles to personality. I don’t remember anyone arguing as enthusiastically for Top Will, but those voices were also there. But the general idea was that assigning strict top/bottom roles to a male/male couple was casting them in a heterosexual mold and thus, the progressive option was to make them switch. Strict roles also garnered comparisons to “yaoi” and uke/seme stereotypes, which was of course bad and fetishizing and we, the Western media fans, of course had to do better. Stealth racism is fun to untangle.

Anyway, I lapped up the woke juice. Partly because I was a baby queer from Buttfuck Nowhere, Asia, who had zero exposure to LGBT+ communities and what queer folks did with each other. Partly because it was the stance taken by most of my favorite writers so it seemed like a good position to emulate.

Emulate it I did. Most discussions I had about this happened in private with the handful of close friends I had in fandom. Where it really showed was in my writing. I made sure to write switching—maybe not in every fic, but then I alternated between fics. Thing is though, I did have a preference. I liked Top Will. I created and consumed a ton of Top Hannibal, and sometimes it was okay, sometimes it was not, but I couldn’t pinpoint why it made me uncomfortable. Back then, I thought I was a cis questioning/bi girl and once again, the impression I got was that not being MLM, having a preference was automatic fetishization. So I tried my best to justify my preferences, to my friends at least. I think what I said was that fandom was skewed towards Top Hannibal, and I liked the opposite because I’m a contrary fuck. Which I am, to be fair, but this was just me desperately trying to figure shit out without being offensive.

That’s the line I touted all the way until 2018, which was when I fucked off to grad school in A City, finally freed of Buttfuck Nowhere and able to actually date. At this point, I was settled in my sexuality (girls only) and questioning my gender (non-binary or trans guy). I had also tentatively figured out during undergrad that I’m an exclusive top and a Dom. Actual attempts at dating cemented that, yes, those are my preferences, about as flexible as a steel rod. Cue motherfucking epiphany over my fanfic tastes.

And see, over these years, I was engaging intermittently with fandom. I dutifully wrote switch couples. I also continued to have rigid tastes and continued to explain it away as being a contrary fuck—to be fair, until Steve/Bucky, my preference did seem to be the opposite of the larger fandom preference. But correlation, as we know, isn’t causation. Until Steve/Bucky, I continued to write versatile couples because I honestly didn’t have the guts to just say I liked it just one way. I do now but even then, I feel compelled to add that it’s because I want to see my own taste reflected in fic, so I write/read the character I relate to as a top, it's not that deep etc. Would I be as forthright if I didn’t have that reason? Would I have such strict preferences in fic if I didn’t have strict preferences IRL? The latter’s a mystery, but the former isn’t—I wouldn’t be because fandom is still entrenched in the same ideas that got me to this point to begin with.

In every fandom I’ve been in, I’ve seen some version of this debate go around. Sometimes, it’s one party saying “why would you write Character X as a bottom, he’s so Reason A” and a reblog chain that insults the OP and/or extols the virtues of switching. Sometimes, it’s a general-ish message that says they don’t understand why people have strict preferences when we all know real gay couples switch. Sometimes, it’s blanket statements that accuse anyone with preferences of fetishizing. Sometimes, it’s the same reasoning that gets you “Character Y is a top because of Reason B” transposed on versatile couples except this takes the form of “they switch because they’re equals.”

Ya’ll, I’m fucking tired.

I have long since lost count of the number of stories I’ve seen where an exclusive top learning bottom and liking it is character growth. Where a character who prefers to bottom taking a turn on top is empowering.

Isolated, these are fine. But I’ve seen enough of such stories that it’s distinctly discomfiting and a major squick. Sometimes a trigger, if I'm too immersed in the story. I’m not going to try and burn an author at the stake because they pissed me off. I am just going to close that window and quietly handle my shit. People can write whatever they want. But this one theme hits too close to home, as you can see from this 1.6k rant.

My friend (also my ex-girlfriend) and I had an all-out bitching session about this the other day. Both of us are kinky fuckers who have rigid, complementary roles we prefer and we have both had our grueling days of struggling to reconcile our sexual tastes with our ideologies precisely because of how these things are frowned upon in conservative and progressive circles. Seeing that in fandom, of all places, is both insulting and exhausting. Topping and bottoming aren’t personality traits. Neither is D/s. It’s sexual preference and power play. It really does not have to be that deep. I am not exorcising childhood trauma using the bodies of women. My partners, former and current, have not been brainwashed by the patriarchy. We will not become better, more complete individuals once I magically stop being a stone top and my partners embrace the joys of a strap-on.

I have, with my own two eyes, seen someone say that in a really committed relationship, of course the couple will switch.

Bullshit.

It’s transparent bullshit. This does not get attributed to cisgender M/F couples. Even when the automatic assumptions of woman = bottom and man = top get addressed, switching isn't presented as the default. No one’s saying “oh, if you really love your husband, you’ll peg him”. I do know butch/femme sapphic couples get their own share of shit. Because it’s all heteronormativity, right? Can’t have any other reason for top/bottom roles.

You have two extremes with “so who’s the woman” on one end and “it’s woke only if they switch” on the other, and as far as I’m concerned, they’re equally damaging. There shouldn’t be a pressure, however subtle, to conform your taste in fiction to some arbitrary idea of progressiveness. People are going to like whatever they want anyway; all this does is create an atmosphere where those likes can’t always be freely expressed without a lot of mental gymnastics. We’re seeing so many versions of this in the pushback against so-called problematic content, but smaller, subtler versions exist too.

Fictional characters aren’t real. They can be whatever you want them to be. And yes, other people will often want them to be the exact opposite of your ideas, but that’s just how things work. Meanwhile, the people behind these usernames? They’re real. No one should be throwing real people under the bus to ‘protect’ characters that don’t exist. Hannibal Lecter doesn’t care whether he gets fucked or dismembered in Author B’s fanfiction, but the discourse that surrounds the dick up his ass? That does affect flesh and blood people.

I am not claiming that this is the only attitude in fandom. Middlegrounds do exist. Plenty of people abide by fic and let fic and there are folks who pipe up to say not every RL queer couple switches. But it’s often the extremes that reach most people. That was certainly my experience, and I’m not the only one.

I don’t really know how to end this post. It is 100% a rant and one that’s been building up for a while. Bottom line is that people’s sexual behavior varies wildly and whenever you attack sexual tastes in fanfic by saying it’s unrealistic - or worse because let’s be real, that’s a very tame word choice - please remember that there’s likely someone out there who practices it.

* I’m using switch and versatile synonymously in this post. It’s mostly concerned with top/bottom debates. A lot of what I’m saying is also echoed in portrayals of and discussions surrounding D/s dynamics, but I’m not addressing that as much for now.  

[itwill-comeback]

Some things to note

Alright, so this is my work's blog, a side blog inside a bog, don't mind me. Nickname's Casper or Cas for now. I'm 20, a Capricorn, a decent writer, huge Hozier fan. This is where I'll be putting the stuff that I write as well as on AO3 which to be fair, I'm not as good at using since I just started using it.

About my writing:

I'm an absolute mess of a writer, zero update consistency, sorry. No editor, unless you count Grammarly. I'll probably only ever post my COVT works here and AO3 so there's that.

× I love the COVT just the way it is, but I crave some new things in it. In my writing you'll probably find the following

× Vlad not being bad at like everything, boy needs some skills and hobbies dang it!

× Vlad having motivations and in some way resembling his father when that motivation is what's driving his decisions, don't worry he won't become his old man, but lord outside of physically resembling Tomas he needs to have some of his traits.

× You don't know where we are canonically in my works? Join the club babes. Call it an AU or post-canon if it makes you feel better cause I'm just writing for the fuck of it, and you're in my candy cottage now kids.

× Vlad has ADHD canonically I'm almost certain, so don't be surprised if it's in my works. He's on adderall and Henry reminds him often to take his medication so he's not the Big Forgetful.

× Vlad is willing to flex on people about being the Pravus because he's aware it tricks vampires out and he finds that funny.

× Henry has an Attitude™ and does Not tolerate shit from vampires. Thank those Slayer Genetics.

× Vlad schemes. No context just,, be aware.

× Dorian is ostracized in Elysia, but he's not actually that creepy, people just really don't like that he's powerful and has a penchant for playing the Cheshire Cat. Cryptic soft boi with a grin that claims madness, promise he's just lonely.

× Vlad is far less awkward in my writing, he's clued in to social and psychological influences.

× D'Ablo has gotten a fucking redemption arc. Will I write it? Unlikely. (I did) But you see in my head canon he's faced off with Tomas and Vikas, and being the incredibly hard to kill bastard that he is, got out of it alive despite their best attempts to be rid of him. Pravus blood will take you so far. He lied low, got bored, came back to Stokerton and basically told Vlad "You're the Pravus, we been knew, want my job back, idc bout u or ur uncle or the Elder Council, like being President tho so tell Otis to scoot." And Vlad was like "yeah sure, Otis wants to go back to being principal anyway & the Elder Council doesn't take up near as much time as the Stokerton Council cause it hardly ever convenes, don't fuck wit me again, my dad's dead btw, oh and Vikas too. Let's just be chill." And that was that.

× Vlad has vampire friends and empathizes with other orphans. Not far fetched. Like at all.

× Vlad has a few jobs, gets that bread... for a college aged kid at least.

× Did I say bread? D'Ablo is rich af. Stunts on everybody in Armani suits and wears Red Bottoms. He's the President of a Council, you know that job pays. Old rich Italian vampire rolls in mad cash and has taste, surprise surprise ?

× Know who else is an old rich Italian vampire? Dorian Ciotti, his family uses stocks and real estate as monopoly money. And you thought they were just a humble family with a small business, jokes on you they haven't been humble for hundreds of years. Dorian is known to travel all the time, where did y'all think he got the money for that? You better believe he spoils Cecile, she's his baby girl. A rich single dad who thinks he might fuck up at any moment, he's doing great at raising her. Your fav could never.

× Elysian Councils are mostly afraid and indignant towards Vlad, but don't worry, he can see through them quite well at this point. (Read: he was raised by Tomas fucking Tod, the king of liars, other vampires don't have shit on him.)

× Elysia is not entirely the Councils, Elysia is a world of vampires full of pocket communities and niche tribes all tied by the same undead thread.

× Otis and Vlad share the issue of having a terrible sweet tooth, and now that Nelly's gone they have to figure out how to bake for themselves. Also blood candy and blood mixed baked goods exist and Vlad is really wanting to try some.

× Vlad has the most powerful weapon against vampires on him at all times now, is curious to find out how it works and what it runs on. Elysia knows he doesn't leave it anywhere, if he's somewhere the Lucius is there with him.

× I will be inventing a few of my own charms (like the tego charm) with latin words so you can always ask Google what the charm does before I tell you. (I.e. Tego = to cloak, to hide. This charm is used to allow the vampire who creates it to have a lock down on any humans they place it near.) Tomas places these around the citizens of Bathory to keep other vampires from reading their minds and discovering his location, he closes their minds in a way.

× Vlad has more complex hidy-holes for his things these days.

× Remember that key in the first book that looked like head of a woman that was described in detail and then left behind and never mentioned again? Remember it. I'm gonna use it. Red herring? Who?

× Henry has not forgotten the time he saved Otis' life. He's gonna call in that favor someday, Otis, you know he will.

× Otis has a lot more faith in Vlad to not act like a child and will treat him like an adult.

× Vlad has a huge crush on somebody. Not saying who.

× Vlad's a big hippie. On god, he loves the earth, hates conflict, and wants to tell D'Ablo about how many slave children worked to create his outfit, but wants to keep their peace more.

× Vlad has at long last, filled out and isn't the lanky child he once was, could throw you through a wall but is probably too nice for that. Probably.

× Vlad and the Pravus are separate entities sharing the same vessel. Pravus isn't a ghost though, he's the Adam of the vampire species and died a long ass time ago and wanted to live again after a while. Much like D'Ablo, he lied low, got bored and wanted his place in the world back. Had to create a new form of life to exist in, created the vessel (Vlad's body), could've gotten rid of Vlad's soul and just worn his body, but kind of ended up adoring him before he was even born and, entranced with the concept of this new existence, decided to share the body with him, which sort of forces him to stay hidden in Vlad's subconscious or divide their body into two bodies. Which he can totally do, but it's kind of a lot of trouble and would hurt Vlad badly so he doesn't bother. He really adores this dumb kid and doesn't want him to be lonely, but that'll present its own issues in its own time.

× Dorian is aware of all of this. Pravus can fix his mind and his cravings for vampire blood, but he can't force this from the two of them because it would kind of fuck Vlad up. Oh you mean that fox in the back of my mind isn't my mental support animal, it's an ancient vampire and kind of absurdly powerful? Cool cool.

× Eddie Poe becomes a bigger problem than ever before! Fun!!

× The Slayer Society becomes a bigger problem than ever before!

× As far as I'm concerned, Em is not being manipulated by D'Ablo in the books, he answers to her, she's autographed bible old, you think he could pull one over on her? Tomas Tod couldn't even manage that. (Canonically I know Vlad insinuates that D'Ablo is holding some power over Em but I just can't see that realistically being true.)

× Em went home to Europe after that Slayer cleanse nonsense, she's still President of her Council, but she is no longer on the Council of Elders. Kind of in hiding because she suspects Vlad's about to take over the entire world.

× D'Ablo's cult is still a thing, they send Vlad gifts sometimes. Sometimes it's a dead bird, sometimes it's an envelope full of cash. D'Ablo doesn't care either way what they give him, Vlad prays it's not a dead animal every time tho soo.

× Remember how Mellina was never said to have any family? Turns out her family were just religious nutcases and promptly disowned her (and her child) upon finding out she was having a child out of wedlock.

× Vlad is in touch with the Tod clan in Scotland cause he wanted to get in touch with some part of his family and prove to himself that his dad's side isn't all bad, they kind of give him Evil Dad War Flashbacks™, but they're good people. A few are vampires and they think Vlad's a cool kid.

× There's always gonna be magic in my writing, don't worry though, I'm not gonna make Vlad OP.

Foo Fighters and Mikitaka is my cross-part brotp but same with Shizuka and Emporio. I think the latter could have been friends as well, depending on how you characterise Shizuka, I guess.

38. A series you would want to crossover with Jojo?

Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc V specifically. Ray and Zarc could definitely bond with Jo2uke and Yasuho.

39. A song you think suits the Jojo series or a particular character?

Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any. Every character with a musical Stand, I think suits their namesake in one way or another.

40. A relationship between two characters that you really like?

Gyro and Johnny had such a good partnership.

41. What was the most bizarre moment in Jojo for you?

........the end of Vento Aureo takes the fucking cake. It just works. It just fucking works.

Fall off your horse.

Gyro’s death. Foo Fighter’s death.....

44. Scariest/creepiest Jojo moment?

Gwess...... I vented to a dormie about her because nope. 

45. Moment you wish never happened?

Any major character death.

46. Moment you wish could have happened?

Not so much a moment but an entire retool of joJolion. My ideal JJL which is Gappy and Yasuho trying to unravel Gappy’s mysterious origin and its a man vs self work and Yasuho’s relationship with gross Jobin is explored/handled better. Honestly, just wait til I fucking start on my pokemon au of JJL and we’ll be golden.

47. Moment you didn’t understand/were confused by?

King Fucking Crimson

48. If Jojo had a genre swap, what genre would you want it to be?

I think its in the perfect genre already. I wouldn’t swap it for anything. Except maybe surrealism (or absurdism in certain cases, absurdism would suit SBR well, I think) instead of the magical realism its currently sorta in.

Quarantine Anime Binge Reviews! Part 2

Aw yeah guess who is still spending her time binging anime instead of doing anything actually productive it’s me well anyway here we go

All of WIXOSS: This is one I’ve been kind of intrigued by for a while, because it’s a card game anime, but all the main characters and their cards are like, cute girls, which is not typical for the genre, and it’s written by Mari Okada, whomst we stan, so I figured it was worth a shot and it turns out to be sort of like what if Yu-Gi-Oh! was also Madoka, but also way better than that sounds. If that sounds even remotely interesting, I’d say it’s worth your time. For the record, the order is selector infected WIXOSS, selector spread WIXOSS, selector destructed WIXOSS (a movie that is just enough recap that people who watched the show will be kinda bored for those parts but not quite recap enough that you can watch it without having seen the show without being confused, but also with just enough new footage that I can’t recommend skipping it), (okay also there’s a manga, selector infected WIXOSS -peeping analyze- that goes into a side character’s whole deal and it won’t be relevant until later but I recommend reading it at this point), Lostorage incited WIXOSS, and Lostorage conflated WIXOSS, with another series scheduled for later this year, though if that’s still happening is obviously uncertain AND I’m extremely curious as to how exactly another season will even WORK because conflated ends p definitively and happily and pls Okada-sensei just let my children live ;_;

Youjo Senki/Young Girl’s War Chronicles/Saga of Tanya the Evil Movie: aw yeah that’s the good shit. Could also be titled “Tanya Learns the Hard Way that Russia’s Greatest Strategic Advantages are That It’s Cold AF and That They Have a Seemingly Limitless Supply of Cannon Fodder”. If you haven’t already watched Youjo Senki, I actually highly recommend it: an isekai about a sociopathic salaryman trapped in the body of an adorable little girl fighting for the not Germans in magic WW1 to spite the God that did this to her. It is a fantastic show and if that description was not enough to convince you then just know that one of the major new characters in this film is literally a girl named Mary Sue (first name Mary last name Sue) and yes she is named that on purpose, it’s the best. The movie is a great continuation and ends with what I hope is leading into a season 2 (or at least another movie) eventually.

Märchen Mädchen: Hoo boy this is one of the greatest anime tragedies of the last few years. So, like, six years ago or some shit, this guy came up with this idea for a LN called Märchen Mädchen, but unfortunately he didn’t get to write it because like four years ago he fucking died, but luckily he’d started this company and he’d left notes so people working for that company wrote some books of it based on his notes in his honor and shit, and it was planned to be kind of a multimedia thing, and get an anime and shit, but well... a lot of things happened... and the results are just depressing. It seems the failure of the anime may have led to the novels being cut short, which is a damn shame, because while none of the series is super great, none of it is super TERRIBLE either (save for the animation quality as documented in the post linked above). The characters are fine and likable enough, the story is a bit by the numbers but it’s executed well enough, and there’s a lot of interesting ideas under the surface and some good themes. This could’ve gone a different way, I can see an alternate universe where the anime is good and this shit gets like, a gacha game and shit, and more books, and we get to learn more about all these background characters who barely speak let alone do anything, and the world and how it works, and I wish I lived in that world. As is, watching the Blu-Ray version isn’t the biggest waste of your time or anything, but ultimately you’ll likely still end up sighing, left with the bitter taste of what could’ve been.

Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine/Royal Tutor Heine (and its movie): This one’s fun! A fairly light comedy about a short genius man who is constantly mistaken for a child despite being a fully grown adult trying to tutor four pure of heart dumb of ass princes of 19th-century Not-Austria: Prince This Is Just My Face, Prince All Books No Brains, Prince No Thoughts Head Empty, and Prince Horny Bastard Man. To tell if this is a series for you, please watch the live action version of the ending theme where the seiyuu all dress up like their characters and dance around, and if this appeals to you, watch the show. Also the long haired one is played by Shouta Aoi, whomst we stan, god bless.

Shuumatsu no Izetta/Izetta of the End/Izetta: The Last Witch/Izetta, Die Letzte Hexe: Very good, the world’s last witch vows to use her power to protect Lichtenstein Eylstadt from the Nazis Germanians in AU WW2 for her princess GF. This show adapts BUNBUN’s character designs to animation better than anything else I’ve seen and has a banger OP. If you’re a fan of say, Youjo Senki/Saga of Tanya the Evil and enjoy the tactical magical World War aspect, you’ll probably enjoy this, and if you’ve seen Symphogear you’ll spend it with Finé in the back of your mind at all times for reasons that will be very clear very quickly if you watch.

Well this post is long enough so see you next time y’all
