PREDICTIONS FOR FAN REACTION TO Ranma 1/2 anime

1st - It'll be big, Like at least as big as Netflix's other big anime shows (this is partially more based on hope than anything though I do think it breaks into the top ten) and will manage to get four seasons that adapt the manga with minimal trimming. (that last parts more a wish, but if this anime gets TWO unfinished adaptations I will kill a man) 2nd - Invest in Hibiki, guy's already popular in the fan circles but I wholly expect new fans will latch onto him like. If he dose not spawn at least one meme I will be sourly disapointed

3rd - While the dub will largely skirt the issue of Ranma's gender identity (which is good, don't try and force LGBT narratives where their aren't any) expect at least a few puns about eggs or something and some winks to the LGBT fans. If we reach the ending of the manga, expect the dub to veer closer to the lines of the popular fan translation than the official (the former has Ranma accept his curs and 'part of him' the latter has him admit saving Akane was more important) Fin be me, the joke hits harder with the other. 4th - conversely though if the anime gets to Konotsu, and the official Japanese uses male pronouns or exclusively gender neutral, and the dub uses female pronouns, prepare for a shit storm. 5th - Happosai will be surprisingly popular as a manifestation of anime fan's perverted lust for characters. The fact he's supposed to be unlikable and is feared by much of the cast will absolve him of the complications characters like Rosh and Minnet get, and the internet will mostly embrace him as a love to hate him pervert.

6th - Conversely Moose will be villanized by the fandom as a stocker who can't take a hint. And since unlike say Kuno, where his lack of ability to take a hint is part of a joke, fan works will have a tendency to treat him very harsh.

7th - Genma/Soun will be a surprisingly popular ship. It's basically a less messed up version of Willam/Henery, and people are far more interested in seeing two old men bone now that in the early 00s

8th - the one off male characters (Ryu, Shinnosuke, Herb, and Saffron) Will be surprisingly popular alongside Taro if we get to em. Expect at least one gender flip Au where Ranma's herem is made of these guys.

9th - A Male Akane Au, be it cis or Trans, will be popularized by a one off comic that catches on on twitter. 10th - P*rn, so much P**rn, even if it's less horny than both the original anime or the manga just... so much p**n of theses idiots.

Are there any kuroshitsuji fics that you really like? Seeing all your posts is sorta re-stoking a long forgotten interest in the subject. If you can't remember any that's fine, also I'm looking forward to whatever it is you're writing about the manor.

I do have a few. The thing about Kuro is it’s a dark manga and the fandom can get rather perverse at times. I need to block half the content on AO3 before I start searching and even then stuff gets through. But! I found a couple of great fics.

Singing in Silence by Kimberly_T,

This one was so cute! Ultra gen fluff, basically it’s Ciel has severe PTSD which occasionally causes him to freeze and have violent outbursts. the servants discover that covertly singing in his vicinity will help gently pull him out of his episode. Fun character fic with some very heartwarming scenes.

how alone you are by luftbaloons99

Late at night, Ciel’s nightmares catch up with him and he is forced to seek out the man who will one day destroy him from comfort. It hits that angst button real good, reminding us that for all Seb protects him, his care for Ciel is conditional and damaging. 

Finis by thealiaarche

The game has ended, the contract concluded. Sebastian goes to claim what is his but as if Ciel Phantomhive would ever lose a game he’s been playing for years. Bastard Boy outsmarts demon and its glorious. 

Volume 1: The Phantomhive Archives by pearypie

It’s told entirely told through old letters from the Phantomhive era being examined by historians. It has a fascinating perspective and Seb’s letters are fun for all their demon innuendo. It’s similar to the original concept of my fic. I was 1/3 through my story when I found this, mine ended up being very different but it initially discouraged me. Anyway it’s very interesting. (This author has written a lot of Kuro stuff, Lots of SebCiel which i ignored but some of the Cielizzy stuff was good)

The First (and Final) Sacrament of Sebastian Michaelis by pearypie

This one just made me laugh. Seb accidentally dies trying to save Ciel (and the contract) and is then judged by a bunch of angels for his “selfless act of love for his master” to redeem him. Seb just wants to return to hell in shame. 

Domina Esques by shuofthewind

I LITERALLY CANNOT RECC THIS FIC ENOUGH. I initially read it on FF years ago and it’s stuck with me. I’ve reread it many times, even when I wasn’t into Kuro and its, I consider, seriously one of the best fics I’ve ever read. It’s long 40 chapters but fuck, fuck it’s so good. It flashes forward a few years so Lizzy is 16, still a kind, cute girl but ready to accept her destiny as the wife of the Queen’s Watchdog. She forces her way into one of Ciel’s investigations and watching the mystery of the Zodiac, of Ciel’s secrets, of her feelings for Ciel unfold is AHHHH!!! The story! The characters! The emotions! I was crying on my latest reread the pay off is OOOF! If you want to feel every conceivable human emotion then read this ((this author wrote another EXCELLENT FMA fic about Ling/Lan Fan post-series in Xing but its still unfinished))
