#gakkou gurashi imagines

[anothermonikan]

My plans for tonight were upended by my father just. bringing in an old laptop and telling me I can fuck around with it because he doesn't use it anymore. what. I was supposed to be doing work but I guess that's delayed by a bit

His name is Sario and I am showing him Mitski :thumbsup:

[halcyon-writings]

FE3H + School Live!: The Timeskip (Dimitri Edition)

for @crackimagines​​‘s crossover au that now consists of so many other things. aka this was written when the only crossover at the time was gakkou gurashi oop-

and me writing a non-reader insert? less likely than you think

now we have the crossover AND post time skip ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* angst  *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

Dimitri falls to his knees, body weak from exhaustion and hunger. A nearly broken lance gripped in his hands as he panted, out of breath. The bandages he had haphazardly wrapped around his eye stung and itched. The wound surely infected, at least from the way it felt so painful.

He had to keep moving. Fight. Destroy them all, tear them piece by piece! Until their very life’s blood soaked the earth!

...Only when the vengeance that the voices had been calling for had been achieved, would he allow himself to rest.

“Dimitri? Is that you?” A voice he hadn’t heard in a long time called out to him. The Dimitri from five years ago would have stood at attention, glad to see a friendly face after so long. But not anymore. He couldn’t allow himself that hope anymore.

If the monastery hadn’t looked as destroyed as it did, he would’ve believed himself to be imagining things.

“Dimitri?” The prince hears her footsteps behind him, stopping just a few feet shy from him.

He raises his lance in her direction, a snarl on his lips as he nearly shouts, “Stay back pretender! Otherwise, I will strike you down where you stand!”

Megumi Sakura stood still before her student, eyes wide with shock, and Dimitri didn’t know if he wanted to laugh or cry.

Instead of doing either, the exhaustion overtook his body, and Dimitri collapsed as Megu-nee’s voice called out to him in a panicked scream.

Soon the prince knows nothing else after that.

School-Live! AU Masterlist

TOCS AU Masterlist Here

Byleth, Sara Valestein, Megumi Sakura /// f!Byleth

P, S, A // B

Megumi Sakura (w/Byleth)

Pace - 

With Byleth and Megumi being very clumsy with these sorts of things, they take it slowly. Seeing the act of sex in a more intimate manner, they have it passionately and don’t like to rush it.

Stamina - 

Megumi can endure far more than you’d think, even moreso than Byleth. She can go on for a very long period of time, but that is rarely a problem since they usually go extremely slowly.

Aftercare - 

She likes to pepper Byleth’s face in soft little kisses before snuggling up towards him. They feel very comfortable with each other, their skin touching and warming them together. On some nights, she holds Byleth to her chest, knowing that sometimes he needs to be the one held.

Sara Valestein (w/Byleth)

Pace -

It is a lot faster in comparison to Megumi. Sex with Sara tends to result in a bit of and rough and handsy approach for Byleth, being driven purely by instinct than any thought. Though, it’s clear that both of them truly love each other.

Stamina -

Much to Sara’s dismay, her stamina is far weaker than Byleth’s. For all her talk of being an attractive woman, never having sex before until Byleth, she can sometimes pass out from her mind going blank, and gives out a lot faster than anyone she knows.

Aftercare -

Depending on how much alcohol was in her prior, she might start grumbling or whining how she gave out a lot faster than Byleth, but she does shut up and cuddle into them. She doesn’t say it, but loves it when Byleth brushes her hair with his hand when they’re right next to each other. After a little while, her softer side comes out only for him.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

----

F!Byleth

Body Part -

For both her and her partner, it’d probably be the chest. 

BIG ANIME TIDDY

For her chest, the partner likes to hold them, and the touch of their hand feels pleasant.

For her partner’s chest, hearing their heartbeat is relaxing, and when she rests her head against them, she feels safe with their warmth and rhythmic beating.

rewatching gakkou gurashi with my little sister, and she guesses a major plot twist at the end of the very first episode

you know the one

[theotherbackgrounder]

Imagine a live action show of Gakkou Gurashi/school live. But instead of trying to make the girls look realistic, have play up the part that makes them look like just people just cosplaying.

Then you have these Really high quality zombies to contrast agains those “cosplay” characters

[princesshalfdemon]

In order to be able to feel physically safe again, an important message concerning some users.

(EDIT: Because tumblr is incredibly stupid when it comes to links now, I’ve decided to move the link to the full message towards the Source of the post instead. If this is inaccessible for whatever reason I can send it manually)

As of 08/18/2020 I have been made aware of violent comments made about my physical well being on twitter, and in addition to reporting them there I am making a detailed post here in this hyperlink. This primarily concerns the users:

Suplup: (@tehSuplup on twitter) (@suplupluplup on tumblr)

Kit: (@AmoKanade @KosoGungnir (updated from AmoKanade), @KanadeAmo, and @Cynoiz on twitter) (@kanadeamo, @cynoiz (art blog), @zweiwings, @seiizon, @keishidou) (rp blogs) And are generally most active in the Symphogear and Gakkou Gurashi fandoms and RP communities, and it is for this reason fandom tags are in this post.

I first feel the need to state first and foresmost I am not asking you to “pick a side” or anything, but in order to ensure my safety, I have made a change to my RBF concerning two people that I doubt will leave anytime soon.

I had sincerely, earnestly, truly hoped it would never have had to come to this, but certain matters relating to my physical safety have pressed my hand with no other alternative in mind. For what I hope to God will be the only time I have filed a police report and from this day onwards, I’m carrying pepper spray on me and will make the effort to ensure I always have it on me.

Several months ago, it came to my attention of an ex-friend that has repeatedly on multiple occasions called for all mutual friends and followers to unfollow them, which I do believe was more about getting them to unfollow me, as I have seen this tactic multiple times. I have simply accepted this with a nod: they have valid reasons to not like me and not want to be around me, even though it was years ago, and I will respect that. However, it has come to my attention that this vaguing (which I didn’t even mind) has gone far and beyond anything I had ever imagined, and has escalated to threats and comments concerning my physical well-being and discussion of where I work, and has escalated to the point I went to the police to file a harassment report, even if it ultimately did not become an official report. I no longer feel physically safe and I am now carrying pepper spray for my own protection.

You can read it all in the link posted in my Source, or /amessysituation on my blog. I am posting this to show I’m. Really not half-assing around with this when I say I now feel extremely physically unsafe, and I wish to warn others of this so that even if nothing good can come from my end at the very least people might not associate with someone they consider dangerous, although I hope there comes a day I can delete this post and move on.

This is all I want. If I can just get this personal assurance for my safety I’ll delete all these posts and contact every single person that has reblogged it to delete their reblogs. I will literally ensure all of this goes away, I just want to be safe before doing so.

You are free to reblog this, but please refrain from making any comments that may come across as threatening or violent.

Marrrriiiiiiii.Tell your followers about the Sumiko situation in Gakkou Gurashi

OH MY GOD EVERYONE LISTEN TO THIS

(also i’ve decided to put this in the actual tags in case people wondered what the hell happened with this because it could NOT have just been us)

so during Gakkou Gurashi’s University Arc (the one where I thought the story’s quality dropped and never quite recovered from), they very briefly talked about this character: Sumiko. if you read GG and don’t remember her, she’s that drunk gothic lolita chick

Touko said she’d “talk about her” with Miki later, clearly missing her. the story then proceeded to never talk about her ever again (other than a brief mention by Hika), with the implication that the girls would likely meet her when they left the University, and then years later showed up very briefly in the epilogue, alive and well. so me and my very good friend Marston​ really wondered what happened, and we learned the mystery

so Sumiko’s appearance is based on the woman who sang one of the EDs. she is an idol; and if you’re unfamiliar with Japanese/K-pop idol culture, i’m not gonna delve into this here, but understand public image is a very important part of it. this was not done with her permission. it was mean to just be a cute little shout out; but essentially a character based on an actual person’s likeness, someone who probably cares a lot about her public image was created and was portrayed as this heavy drinker fun loving girl, and she literally had no idea until she read the issue, and either Kaihou or chiba actually apologized to her for it. personally, i honestly wonder if Aosoi’s role in the story was supposed to be her’s, but that’s besides the point.

i legit 120% thought GG just abandoned a plot line due to how all-over-the-place the narrative was at the time, and the actual answer is more than i ever imagined? and then she showed up again out of nowhere, years later in real time, in the epilogue… which sounds like another way of basically saying sorry?

SO YEAH UH

MORAL OF THE STORY

if you want to give someone a shoutout in your story as a cute little thing… don’t uh. portray them as fun-loving drunks… especially people who need to worry about their public image asd;flkasjd;laskjdf

also i still miss ayaka

[courtycupcake]

Alright, I made my list of AOTY but may or may not have left off some darn good series. So, here’s my list of top 10 of the decade (I’m not really into a particular order)

Shinsekai Yori

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu (and S2)

Devilman Crybaby

Anohana

Fune wo Amu

The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya

Madoka Magica

Tatami Galaxy

San-Gatsu no Lion

SSSS. Gridman

Honorable Mentions: Steins;Gate (ALL simicolon series), Little Busters Refrain, Land of the Lustrous, Gakkou Gurashi, Little Busters Refrain, Flip Flappers, Kiznaiver, Punchline, Anthem of the Heart, Magical Girl Raising Project, Koe no Katachi, Liz and the Blue Bird, and Kekkai Sensen

This decade, my list has grown exponentially. My list has reached 664 completed. At the beginning of the decade, I began to really experience anime all over again. Growing up, I watched Wolf’s Rain, Vandread, Detective Conan, Kodocha, and so many more. Once 2010 hit, I started all over again. Watching Oreimo, Tatami Galaxy, Highschool of the Dead, etc. and for three years in a row, I believe, I watched no less than 100 anime (100 list additions according to MAL) per year. So, if all can imagine, this was no easy list to make! I’ve actually missed a lot of amazing series but this wouldn’t be much of a top list if I included them all.

Underrated Anime Series (Part One)

I can’t say that this will be the only part, but I don’t know when the next part will come! “Underrated” is a little broad. 

My definition means that I haven’t met a whole lot of people that have watched it, and I haven’t seen a whole lot of content or it on this website. Of course, you might not agree with this list. If there’s one missing, it’s probably because I haven’t watched it (Mushishi, 3-Gatsu no Lion, etc.). 

In order to qualify, I watched 12+ episodes or the complete series (only Honey and Clover remains uncompleted for now). 

NO ANIME MOVIES! That’s over here “Underrated Anime Movies (Take One)”

The descriptions, general information, and recommendations are generally provided by MyAnimeList with some editing done.

This list started off small then swelled out of control. It took me a long time. Hopefully, you can find a new anime to like on this list! Prepare for a long post!

Hachimitsu to Clover / Honey and Clover

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Josei, Romance, Slice of Life Studios: J.C.Staff Length: 24 episodes (23 min per ep)

Three poor college guys live in a rundown apartment building. Shinobu is a mysterious, quirky person, who does things on a whim. Takumi is passionate both in work and love, and Yuuta is a simple person with simple dreams and desires. They meet a girl named Hagumi who is friends with Ayumi. Hagumi is a petite young-looking girl (basically, what the internet calls a loli). Ayumi is a beautiful and talented young lady. Together, they all try to get through college life and romance.

Similar Anime: - Nodame Cantabile: College students from artistic faculties both overcome personal hardship while finding their own personal romance. - 3-Gatsu no Lion: From the same creator and mangaka, the slice of life way of telling the stories of these dynamic characters and the differences and contrasts between the two stories definitely make them unique in their own right.

This is a great anime with a light palette, a simple yet stunning soundtrack, and a great story that brings realism and charming characters together. With strong performances from the voice actors, you will notice notable names like Tomokazu Sugita and Hiroshi Kamiya. To me, this was one of Sugita’s best roles. It showed me a more dramatic, vulnerable, and emotional side of his acting which was probably shown in Gintama a few hundred episodes in.

My complaints are that the pacing is a little slow sometimes (as expected with a slice-of-life series), and I didn’t like Hagu much because the internet poisons those types of characters (lolis). It makes her romances very shady and uncomfortable for me. You also might be deterred if you don’t like the genre.

Death Parade

Studios: Madhouse Genres: Game, Mystery, Psychological, Drama, Thriller Length: 12 episodes (23 min per ep)

This originally came from a short film called Death Billiards which was part of the Young Animator Training Project's Anime Mirai 2013. This series is basically a young animator’s film being made into a series, and I think that’s awesome. It has the same director as Mob Psycho 100 despite being a dramatic series with no comedy.

After death, you arrive at a bar with no memory of how you died. Without heaven or hell, there stand two options: reincarnation or the void. To decide, you play a game like bowling, darts, or pool. Winner gets reincarnation while the loser is sent into the void. Welcome to death! Don’t be fooled by the opening, this anime is not happy.

Similar Anime: - Jigoku Shoujo: Divine punishment is delivered by emotionless beings. Each episode seems to have its own cast with an overarching storyline even though Jigoku Shoujo is a lot longer. - Psycho-Pass: Even though I haven’t watched this one, both touch on very philosophical subjects that contain the idea of the difference between right and wrong and the lines in between. They are both psychological thrillers.

This anime was one that introduces a new story every episode but has an overarching plot that wraps it together. Its development is done well. The characters may seem blank, but that’s for the sake of the new characters that come with each episode. It can be felt to be very emotional so have your tissues at hand for the finale (I didn’t cry, but I hear it was really sad?)

The art fits the plotline perfectly. The voice acting is strong with a cast that is filled with notable names like Tomoaki Maeno and Asami Seto, but there are many names in the supporting cast as well.

The side plot seems poorly done at times, and there are plot elements that are introduced that indicate another season, but we won’t be having one. There is pretty much no happiness to be found here.

Barakamon

Studios: Kinema Citrus Genres: Slice of life, comedy Length: 12 episodes (23 min per ep)

Handa is a calligraphy prodigy who is sent to the Goto Islands as punishment for punching a veteran judge who called his work “unoriginal”. He must find inspiration and learn the ways of his new life.

Similar Anime: - Poco Udon World/Sweetness and Lightning: I’m not including Usagi Drop because of the manga. SCARRED ME FOR LIFE. These are all about people who fall into a single-parent situation. - Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso: Both are about child prodigies who have to explore life beyond the book, but Shigatsu takes a more romantic drama kind of approach. *Gin no Saji: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

This is one of my favourite anime out there! Its story is relatable to many people who grew up with expectations. It’s about a guy who gets wisped into a life he never asked for and experiences a taste of the childhood he never had. This is one of the first anime I recommend to anyone of any age especially if they’ve never watched anime before. I think this was the first anime I showed to my own mom, and she enjoyed it.

Gakkou Gurashi!

Studios: Lerche Genres: Psychological, Slice of Life, School, Horror, Mystery Length: 12 episodes (24 min per ep)

Yuki loves school so much that she never wants to leave! But it’s not as if she can. She’s part of the School Living Club which consists of the president Yuuri, Kurumi, Miki, Sakura-sensei, and the club dog Taroumaru all live at school. Despite the illusions of Yuki’s imagination, the real purpose of the School Living Club is to escape from the shocking and disturbing truth: the girls are in the middle of a zombie apocalypse and have barricaded themselves inside the school as the sole survivors.

Similar Anime: - Madoka Magica/Higurashi: I haven’t watched Madoka and Higurashi, but they both use cute as a facade to hide the darker themes and horrors behind everything. “Moe moe kyun”? More like “moe moe kill”. (I’m going to be kicked in the balls for that) - Girls’ Last Tour: I haven’t watched Girls’ Last Tour, but I know they have post-apocalyptic cute girls doing normal things. They all only have each other and try to enjoy each day peacefully. - Angel Beats: Both shows present normal high school students who live in excruciating circumstances that all hide a deeper meaning. This show has less cutesy moe stuff though.

It delivers on the promised cute elements. I even tried recommending it to a friend who likes Love Live! Let’s just say, there are some differences. The voice actresses do a great job, and I actually found this anime kind of scary (although I get scared too easily).

Gin no Saji / Silver Spoon

Studios: A-1 Pictures Genres: Comedy, Slice of Life, School, Shounen Length: 11 episodes (23 min per ep)

Hachiken is a studious and diligent student who found it unbearable to live with the expectations of his parents and society. With his entry into high school, he decides to attend a unique boarding school in the countryside. The new environment isn’t what he expects, and along with meeting his new classmates and surroundings, he tries to adjust while trying to survive his new life.

Similar Anime: - Fullmetal Alchemist: This is an unexpected entry, but they have the same creator! Both are beautifully developed stories with lovable characters that you get attached to. Hiromu Arakawa is a genius in her own right, and this story has her art and her brilliant storytelling. *Barakamon: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

The voice acting here is great too, and the animation does its job well, but the real magic here is in the storytelling and the characters. I love the entire cast so much. Each of them are realistic and hardworking despite having their own quirky attributes. The setting and the meaning of every line of dialogue really sticks with me. The morals in both Barakamon and Gin no Saji are ones that I will never forget. The only reason why I don’t actively recommend this is because it is a farm, and those with weak stomaches might not like the idea of dealing with farm animals that get eaten, but if that’s the case, why eat meat at all? No animals are killed on-screen.

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar

Studios: A-1 Pictures Genres: Action, Adventure, Drama, Fantasy, Isekai Length: 12 episodes (24 min per ep)

*Isekai = Term used for fictional stories where characters are thrown into a new (usually fantasy RPG-style) world

Thrown into a foreign land with nothing but hazy memories and the knowledge of their name, a group of strangers is given no other choice than fight and eliminate anything that threatens the peace in their new world, Grimgar. This is no game—there are no redos or respawns; it is kill or be killed. It is now up to this ragtag group of unlikely fighters to survive together.

Similar Anime: - Sword Art Online/Goblin Slayer: They are of the same genre, but Grimgar does a better job than both combined (but I dislike SAO and Goblin Slayer). - Tate no Yuusha: Another Isekai anime (like SAO and Goblin) except unlike the two other similar anime, these ones are both done well. Tate no Yuusha already has a following.

The voice acting here is great, and we see Hosoya playing the main role for once! The art and animation are done well. This anime takes a far slower approach comparing to other Isekai anime. They spend more time on the emotional burdens of each of the characters and their slower adjustments. While that’s a turnoff to some, they make you view the lives of these former normal citizens and make you wonder whether you’d be able to survive these circumstances, and if you don’t like that... well... there is the fan-service I guess.

Hinamatsuri

Studios: feel. Genres: Comedy, Seinen, Slice of LIfe, Supernatural Length: 12 episodes (23 min per ep)

Yakuza member Nitta is rudely interrupted when a young female esper barges into his life. He quickly finds himself being a caregiver and parental figure to the girl. The unlikely duo lives life unconventionally as circumstances change and everyday chaos ensues.

Similar Anime: - Mob Psycho 100: The number of similarities often go unnoticed, but they are both about shady adults (a conman and a yakuza) taking in a young esper (Mob and Hina) with hilarious stories. YOU MUST WATCH BOTH. - Gintama: Odd choice, I know. Both are quite similar in terms of humour. Gintama takes the shounen route while Hinamatsuri is a seinen series.

The majority of this voice cast are newbies (meaning people I’ve never heard of before), and honestly, they do such a great job that I genuinely thought that these people were seasoned veterans. Same with the studio. I don’t usually see them take on these kinds of projects (with most of their things being basic Slice of Life). The faces are hilarious. The characters are hilarious (thanks to brilliant writing and voice casts). It was so much fun to watch. I had to conceal my laughter at 2am because I was secretly binge-watching this. I failed multiple times. 

Net-juu no Susume

Studios: Signal.MD Genres: Game, Comedy, Romance Length: 10 episodes (23 min per ep)

30-year-old Moriko Morioka is unemployed—and she couldn't be happier. Having quit her job of over 11 years, Moriko quickly turns to online games. With the pesky societal obligations of the real world out of the way, she dives into the realm of an MMO. Life online and in the real world intertwine.

Similar Anime: *Wotakoi: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!] *ReLIFE: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

This oddly relatable and adorable (don’t know what other words to use) romance between two people who meet online is honestly so pure, but let’s not forget that one of the high-ranking staff members of this anime is... uh... less than wholesome. 

Kazuyoshi Yaginumi (director) is a Holocaust denier and a supremacist who has radical political views. But hey, if you’ve watched the third season of Natsume’s Book of Friends, Naruto, No. 6, Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Hotarubi no Mori e, Black Bullet, Beck, or Akira, I hate to break it to you, but he was a part of all of them. I found this out after I watched the anime. I probably would not have watched this if I knew. But if you dismiss the anime that this man has worked on, you are truly missing out. Let’s not forget that he wasn’t the only person working on these projects, and he isn’t the creator, but let’s pray that he isn’t hired to do anything else!!! I don’t know of any other major work he got after this one (aired in 2017)

Wotakoi

Studios: A-1 Pictures Genres: Comedy, Romance, Slice of Life Length: 11 episodes (22 min per ep)

Narumi Momose finds herself running late for her first day of work at a new office. She makes a promise to herself that none of her coworkers will find out about her dark secret: that she is an otaku and a fujoshi. This goes wrong when she runs into Hirotaka Nifuji, a friend from middle school. Luckily for her, the only witnesses to this slip-up are Hanako Koyanagi and Tarou Kabakura who are otaku as well. But what happens when otaku date each other?

Similar Anime: *Net-juu no Susume: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!] *Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun: I constantly swear on this anime because I like both of these anime a lot.

I liked this one better than Net-juu no Susume, but that isn’t because of the director of the other one. I like this one for its cast of characters, its use of references that go beyond the gaming world (although this anime touches on it too), and the fact that there are different type of otaku out there. I seriously understood more references than I would’ve liked. 

No. 6

Studios: Bones Genres: Action, Sci-Fi, Mystery, Drama Length: 11 episodes (23 min per ep)

Many years ago, after the end of a bloody world war, mankind took shelter in six city-states that were peaceful and perfect... at least on the surface. However, Shion—an elite resident of the city-state No. 6—has an encounter with a mysterious boy, Nezumi who lived in the desolate wasteland beyond the walls of the supposed utopia. Despite knowing that the other boy was a fugitive, Shion decided to take him in for the night and protect him, which resulted in drastic consequences. Now, a long time after their life-altering first meeting, Shion and Nezumi are finally brought together once again—the former elite and the boy on the run are about to embark on an adventure that will, in time, reveal the shattering secrets of No. 6.

Similar Anime: - Banana Fish: I haven’t completely watched Banana Fish, but it features the darker sides of society with loads of casualties.  *Zankyou no Terror: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

Hosoya and Kaji are both amazing in this anime. This anime meant a lot to both of them. Hosoya wanted to give up voice acting while Kaji was a fan of the original series and was hyped to hear its news for adaptation. This heartwrenching story suffers from the whole “rush this bad adaptation”, but as someone who doesn’t read manga/novels, this anime is a great look into the inside of this intricate universe. Again, most of the shortcomings have to do with poor pacing and toned down storytelling (and toned down violence) which come from being badly adapted from the source material, but even after taking away all that good stuff, we’re still left with a pretty good anime. Just don’t cry... too hard... yeah.

Kimi to Boku 

Studios: J.C. Staff Genres: Comedy, Drama, Romance, School, Shounen, Slice of Life Length: 13 episodes (24 min per ep)

Four high school boys, who have known each other since childhood, hang out together in school every day in their mundane lives. There's the handsome twins Yuuki and Yuuta Asaba, the gentle Shun Matsuoka, and the calm class head Kaname Tsukahara. Although they have become used to a lack of excitement in their lives, the addition of a new transfer student, Chizuru Tachibana, may add a little more adventure to their routine.

Similar Anime: *Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!] *Hachimitsu to Clover: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

While I wouldn’t classify this as a complete shounen nor would I call it a shoujo, it achieves a happy medium with enough anime cliches to call it an anime and enough ordinary elements for me to truly feel that it can be relatable. It has a really nice OST that’s sung by Aoi Shouta at times. We have a stacked and entertaining voice cast, and the story is slow but nice. It pulls more at the slice of life side rather than romance.

Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou / Daily Life of High School Boys

Studios: Sunrise Genres: Comedy, School, Shounen, Slice of Life Length: 12 episodes (24 min per ep)

Hidenori, Yoshitake, and Tadakuni are just an everyday trio of ordinary guys trying to pass the time, but who said everyday life couldn't be interesting? 

Similar Anime: *Nichijou: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!] *Kimi to Boku: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!] *Gintama: The shows do share a number of voice actors, the humour is similar, and the general nonsensical writing will draw audiences from both sides.

Here’s the more comedic and strictly non-romantic side of Kimi to Boku. This one is probably relatable in way that shouldn’t be shared with the general public. Unlike the other Nichijou (with girls and by Kyoto Animation), this one doesn’t rely on the animation. It relies on humour in its writing. There aren’t any really good female characters in this anime. It does focus on three guys and their antics though. And I mean, is anyone in this anime really a winner?

Natsume Yuujinchou / Natsume’s Book of Friends

Studios: Brain's Base Genres: Slice of Life, Supernatural, Drama, Fantasy, Shoujo Length: 12 episodes (24 min per ep)

Takashi Natsume has had a connection with youkai all his life and soon discovers that his deceased grandmother Reiko had passed on to him the Yuujinchou, or "Book of Friends," which contains the names of the spirits whom she brought under her control. This makes him a target of enraged youkai that want their names back. His only companion is a self-proclaimed bodyguard named Madara. Fondly referred to as Nyanko-sensei, Madara is a mysterious, pint-sized feline spirit who has his own reasons for sticking with the boy.

Similar Anime: *Mushishi: I haven’t watched Mushishi (even though it’s on my watch later list). It contains similar ideas and concepts. *Hotarubi no Mori e: Same creator/mangaka! Yuki Midorikawa has taken her masterful storytelling to other stories, and Hotarubi has a wonderful anime movie that manages to get you with the feels in less than an hour.

I know this anime gets a lot of attention already, but I feel like I haven’t met a whole lot of people who’ve watched it. A shoujo without romance? It’s unusual, but this definitely works out. The simple art works in its favour, and its music is beautiful. This anime has a way of making all of its stories resonate, and if you aren’t going to watch it for the youkais’ stories, watch it for Nyanko-sensei. He’s honestly the best.

Sakamichi no Apollon / Kids on the Slope

Studios: Tezuka Productions, MAPPA Genres: Drama, Josei, Music, Romance, School Length: 12 episodes (22 min per ep)

Introverted classical pianist Kaoru Nishimi has just arrived in Kyushu for his first year of high school. Having constantly moved from place to place since his childhood, he abandons all hope of fitting in, preparing himself for another lonely, meaningless year until he encounters the notorious delinquent Sentarou Kawabuchi. Kaoru begins playing the piano at after-school jazz sessions, located in the basement of fellow student Ritsuko Mukae's family-owned record shop.

Similar Anime: - Your Lie in April/Shigatsu no Kimi no Uso: Both anime are about classical musicians breaking out of their shells in beautifully written stories. Sakamichi no Apollon is arguably more serious and take on a bit of a darker and more mature tone since Shigatsu is a shounen anime while Sakamichi is a josei. *Kimi to Boku: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

This anime suffers the same thing that No. 6 does. The story gets watered down and condensed to fit the short-episode format, and so much is left out in terms of pacing. The voice acting in this is phenomenal. Ryohei Kimura and Yoshimasa Hosoya do not disappoint. Yuuka Nanri barely has any other lead roles, but she does an okay job here too. Yoko Kanno on score composition is one of the best decisions to be made for this anime even if jazz isn’t her main genre of choice. She composed everything masterfully. I wouldn’t have thought that she did it if I didn’t see it on the staff list. Those things are the reasons why I liked this anime so much. The OST and voice acting are good enough for me to recommend this anime despite (like No. 6), the adaptation quality not being that great. Even taking that stuff away, we are still left with a great anime.

ReLIFE

Studios: TMS Entertainment Genres: Slice of Life, Romance, School Length: 13 episodes (23 min per ep)

Hopeless 27-year-old loser Arata Kaizaki bounces around from one job to another after quitting his first company. He meets Ryou Yoake who offers Arata the opportunity to change his life for the better with the help of a mysterious pill. Arata takes it and awakens to find that his appearance has reverted to that of a 17-year-old. He takes part in a unique experiment and must attend high school as a transfer student for one year. Arata struggles to adjust to his hectic new lifestyle and avoid repeating his past mistakes, all while slowly discovering more about his fellow classmates and himself.

Similar Anime: - Erased: Both anime are about adults reliving their past and trying to make amends for past mistakes that they’ve made. Erased takes more of the murder mystery route while ReLIFE stays in a simpler slice of life style. *Net-juu no Susume: [ON THIS LIST - Please look at both anime entries to see why!]

This anime suffers the same thing that No. 6 and Sakamichi no Apollon does. The story gets watered down and condensed to fit the short-episode format, and so much is left out in terms of pacing that they had to fit hundreds of chapters into the second season which had FOUR episodes. This one has an awesome casts which mixes experienced voice actors with newer ones. This was one of Yuuma Uchida’s first major roles, and we see new(er) people like Reina Ueda and Himika Akaneya mixed in too. In terms of experienced voice actors, we can look forward to Kensho Ono and Ai Kayano playing the main characters along with Haruka Tomatsu and Ryohei Kimura also playing major characters along with appearances from Noriaki Sugiyama, Daisuke Namikawa, and Miyuki Sawashiro. With a bunch of new EDs with practically every episode and an OST that people seem to love or hate (jazz piano riffs have to be your thing, and I liked it), the music is hit and miss. For me, it was a hit. The jazz soundtrack is out-of-place but unique. It takes a sharp contrast, and it isn’t bad music. 

Senyuu

[This anime is on the “Anime with Short Episodes” list]

Studios: Ordet, LIDENFILMS Genres: Action, Comedy, Parody, Fantasy, Shounen Length: 13 episodes (4 min per ep)

In a story we’ve all heard before, the demon lord is sealed until things go amiss! Amateur adventurer Alba Frühling and sadistic talented soldier Ross must go defeat monsters and seal the demons away.

Similar Anime: - Saiki: Both episodes have short run-time and derive their humour from parodying genres. Senyuu takes the RPG adventure genre and flips it on its head while Saiki takes overpowered espers and pulls it like Hinamatsuri and Mob Psycho 100. - Konosuba: I know this is strange coming from someone who actually detests Konosuba. I couldn’t stand the characters that were flawed to the point where I couldn’t like them no matter how hard I tried. Both take the RPG adventure world and parody it to the point where you wonder why these flawed buffoons are trusted with anything.

This anime is one of my favourite short anime out there. With a short run-time of four minutes, it quickly got me invested in the story and the characters. It was so funny that I found myself binge-watching both seasons and the OVAs within the same day. Yuuichi Nakamura and Hiro Shimono provide their perfect performances for this anime. The other cast members contribute a lot as well with other names like Ai Kayano, Yumi Uchiyama, Takahiro Sakurai, Kenichi Suzumura, and others. Hiroshi Kamiya also takes the lead role in the OVAs. Overall, it’s a great watch when you have no patience for 24-minute episodes.

Honobono Log

[This anime is on the “Anime with Short Episodes” list]

Studios: Fanworks Genres: Romance, Slice of life Length: 10 episodes (2 min per ep)

Insights into couples, why they’re better than being single, and why you’re just a sad loner.

This is actually based off a picture book.

Similar Anime: NONE!  I truly haven’t seen an anime like this around. While Tsurezure has its similarities in short-run time and romance, this one is vastly different. Dareka no Manazashi is too different to say it’s similar. Both are short (although Dareka no Manazashi is a short film) and about life, but Dareka no Manazashi is different because it focuses on one person doesn’t have romance and relies on more of the “growing up” part whereas Honobono relies on each specific situation.

This anime is another one of my favourite short anime out there. With a short run-time of two minutes, they manage to guilt-trip you for being alone and single. Of course, not all of them are about cute couple stuff, but some are about family and growing up. Miyu Irino and Asami Seto do an amazing job, and the OP is really nice and adds to the heartwarming factor of this anime.

Zankyou no Terror

Studios: MAPPA Genres: Thriller, Psychological, Drama Length: 11 episodes (22 min per ep)

Six months after a mysterious unsolved terror attack, a strange video makes its way onto the internet. In it, two teenage boys who identify themselves only as "Sphinx" challenge the police, threatening to cause destruction and mayhem across Tokyo. The police struggle to act effectively against these terrorists, with Detective Kenjirou Shibazaki caught in the middle of it all. The two boys behind the masked figures of Sphinx are known as Nine and Twelve, and they stand strong in a world of deception and secrets while they make the city fall around them, all in the hopes of burying their own tragic truth.

Similar Anime: - Death Note: I haven’t actually watched Death Note (haha), but they are both similar. I know that much. Both are about the police lagging behind some teenager as they wreak havoc, but while Light Yagami has a god-complex, Sphinx has its own secrets. - Psycho-Pass: I haven’t watched this one either, but both take on philosophical ideas that make you wonder whether society should be run one way or another. They are both centred around law enforcement and the detainment of those who step out of line.

Yoko Kanno provides yet another stunning masterpiece for this anime’s score which really drives the anime further. Along with extremely strong art style from Studio MAPPA, it creates for a very mysterious and eerie tone that fit the anime so well. The voice acting from the two leads and the detective are amazing, but I can’t say they have good female characters in this anime, and without good characters, I can’t say there was good voice acting on their parts, although, Megumi Han did sound pretty good in her given role. Soma Saito and Kaito Ishikawa are both close in real life, and it almost transcends onto the screen in this anime.

The story is riveting even if it’s been done before. It’s not the most unique in that right, but I still found myself finding these characters to be human. It was well-paced too and didn’t feel dragged or rushed for the most part. Shinichiro Watanabe directed and created this, and you might know him for Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Kids on the Slope, Space Dandy, and more, and he certainly does not disappoint with this anime.

House Isekai ARR Masterlist Here

—

[Clear Sky - Gakkou Gurashi OST]

Former Students (Rean, Towa, Aigis, Kazuma)

(Yuki) "Oh my gosh, it's been so long, everyone's grown up!"

Yuki ran in and grabbed Rean, Aigis, Towa, and Kazuma into a hug, one which they eagerly returned.

(Rean) "Hah, good to see you too, Yuki!"

(Kazuma) "Damn, you guys grew up too!"

(Towa) "They had to at some point!"

(Aigis) "Is everyone else here too?"

(Yuki) "Yup, they're right behind me!"

Yuuri came in first. She was now wearing a clean black suit, not too dissimilar from Aigis's.

Miki and Kurumi came in, with Miki helping Kurumi along as she pushed the wheelchair.

(Kazuma) "Glad to see you guys are alive after all!"

The three of them smiled.

(Miki) "After what we went through in Fodlan, I think we can handle anything now."

(Kurumi) "Yeah, nothing can get us!"

(Yuuri) "I never imagined you all becoming teachers. Especially you Kazuma."

Kurumi's eyes shot wide.

(Kurumi) "WHAT?! Kazuma, you became a teacher?!"

He raised an eyebrow, somewhat annoyed.

(Kazuma) "Not willingly. But I figured since I was here, I might as well help the brats out."

Kurumi sighed out of relief.

(Kurumi) "Whew, thought the world was about to end there."

(Kazuma) "The hell's that supposed to mean?"

(Kurumi) "Well, I thought you signed up because you turned over a new leaf, I honestly wouldn't have believed it."

Kazuma pointed a finger at her.

(Kazuma) "So this is how you treat me after not seeing me after all these years?!"

(Kurumi) "If I recall correctly, weren't YOU the one not wanting to see any of us when you went home?!"

Miki backed off as the two began to bicker, which was a welcome sight for everyone.

(Towa) "Hah, it's like nothing ever changed!"

(Miki) "She may not show it, but she really is glad to see him again. Same goes for all of us."

(Rean) "We're happy to see everyone healthy so many years later."

(Yuuri) "Anyways, you all are teachers now?"

(Aigis) "Yes, teachers for the new House Isekai."

(Yuki) "That's great to hear! I actually became a teacher just like Megu-nee, too!"

(Rean) "Oh man, could we have used you in here."

(Yuuri) "Are the new kids that troublesome?"

(Towa) "Why don't we go meet them right now?"

Staff

(Recette) "Oh, hello! My name's Recette, and this is Tear!"

(Tear) "A pleasure to make your acquaintance."

(Mercedes) "My goodness, Yuki, Yuuri, Miki, Kurumi!"

(Yuki) "MERCIE!"

Mercedes came in and hugged them all.

(Mercedes) "So wonderful it is you came to visit!"

(Tear) "I take it these are old classmates?"

(Mercedes) "And old friends! How old are you now?"

(Yuuri) "We're all 20 now."

(Miki) "Um, 19."

Sitri and Sothis entered the room as well.

(Sothis) "Wow, you all look far older than everyone else who's come so far."

(Kurumi) "GAH! O-Oh um...Sothis right?"

(Sitri) "Hah, I suppose you didn't talk much to her."

(Yuki) "No, but Byleth-sensei always talked about Sothis! Well from our perspective it looked like he did anyway."

(Recette) "I heard you are the head of a reconstruction effort miss Yuuri, would you guys like some funding?"

(Yuuri) "Hah, no thank you sweetie."

(Tear) "...I'm afraid that wasn't a joke."

Yuuri did a double take at Recette."

(Yuuri) "...Wait, you actually run a business?"

(Recette) "Yup, Recettear! We can help donate construction materials and defensive gear for your people!"

(Yuuri) "...Just what has Fodlan been up to since we left?"

(Byleth) “Do you remember that weird weekend when I picked up that invitation and our monastery was invaded by people from another dimension to beat the hell out of each other?”

(Megumi) “…Oh, that! Yes, it was quite hectic…I remember trying to get the students to safety.”

(Kazuma) “And Darkness was being a shield so she could get us to safety and get off on it…Wait, was Isabelle there? Wait a…That was a smash brothers dimension?!”

[hooboycrackimagines]

Honestly, I love those pairings too. Makes my heart feel all warm.

School-Live! AU Masterlist Here

——

Megumi Sakura and Byleth

soft kinda-heresy UNDER THE CUT

(Nothing graphic but still, warning just in case)

——

Byleth sighed as he put the paper onto his desk, facepalming.

He had been at this for hours, and he hadn’t even put a dent into the stack of papers that remained.

(Megumi) “How about we take a break?”

Megumi was sitting at one of the students desks grading papers as well. 

Byleth nodded and shoved the papers away.

(Byleth) “I never realized being a professor would mean reading so many papers...”

Megumi giggled as she got up and went over to Byleth’s chair.

(Megumi) “I remember thinking the same thing when I first started out. I’ll tell you now, those stacks of paper never go away.”

(Byleth) “That’s reassuring...”

He looked at the window behind him and realized it was extremely dark outside.

(Byleth) “Has it already gotten this late?”

(Megumi) “Oh, we must have lost track of time.”

(Byleth) “Well let’s go to bed. We both have our classes to deal with in the morning.”

(Megumi) “Well, I have some help so it’s not as bad compared to yours.”

They both went to the door and were about to head out until Megumi stuttered with her words.

(Megumi) “Um...can we-?”

Byleth smiled and extended his hand to her.

It was obvious if anyone took a close look at them to see that they were in a relationship, but Megumi wanted to keep quiet about it from the students. More importantly from the other faculty.

Megumi knew that she’d never hear the end of it from Manuela, Seteth, Flayn, Sara, and Jeralt.

As the two walked to the classrooms and to their rooms, they discussed about how difficult teaching their specific classes. It was a brief but fun conversation.

All the while, their hands firmly held each other.

When they finally reached Megumi’s room, Byleth let go.

(Byleth) “Good night.”

He turned around but Megumi grabbed his wrist.

His eyes widened as Megumi flinched back, not realizing how hard she grabbed it.

(Megumi) “Ah, s-sorry! I just...well...wanted to ask if...you wanted to spend the night?”

(Byleth) “Oh, was that it?”

Byleth shrugged and headed inside, the implications and awkwardness of the situation completely soaring over his head.

(Megumi) I keep forgetting that he’s a mercenary...Though, I suppose that’s a good thing. All I wanted to do tonight was just have him near me...

Megumi couldn’t help but blush as Byleth looked around her room.

(Byleth) “It looks nearly identical to mine. Though, that’s not too surprising.”

(Megumi) “Er, Byleth?”

(Byleth) “And your desk seems to be a bit more organized than mine. Oh, is that flower from Yuki?”

(Megumi) “Byleth!”

Byleth turned around.

Megumi giggled again, seeing his confused expression.

(Megumi) “Let’s go to bed, alright?”

Byleth nodded and proceeded to take off his clothes.

That almost made her scream bloody murder.

(Megumi) “W-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”

(Byleth) “This is what I usually wear when I go to bed.”

Megumi couldn’t tear her eyes off him as he undressed into nothing but his undergarments.

When he was done, Byleth raised an eyebrow at Megumi.

(Byleth) “What?”

(Megumi) “...”

She had honestly forgotten that people usually change clothes when they go to bed. Which meant they were sharing a bed while he was wearing nothing.

She half wanted to slap herself for not thinking about inviting him to her room in detail, and the other half wanted-

(Byleth) “Megumi?”

(Megumi) “R-Right! Um...p-please don’t look over here.”

Byleth shrugged again and turned away.

He honestly had no idea why she was getting so flustered over this. Wasn’t this normal?

And Megumi had no idea how Byleth could stay so calm during this. Wasn’t this a bit taboo?

Then again, she didn’t exactly let him go to his room. Then the opposite would’ve happened and she would have to

(Megumi) N-Nope! Not thinking about it!

After changing into a t-shirt and taking off her dress, she folded it neatly and quietly spoke.

(Megumi) “You can look now...”

Byleth turned around, but she refused to meet him his eyes.

She went into the bed and turned away as Byleth got into it with her.

Megumi didn’t know how red her face was, but she knew that Byleth could see it by now.

Mustering all of her courage she turned around to face him.

...Only to realize his back was turned to her as well.

She pouted and turned Byleth around, surprising him.

(Byleth) “Megumi?”

She took a deep breath and kissed him on the lips.

Megumi stayed on him for a few seconds before pulling away, and putting a hand to his chest.

(Megumi) “...I love you.”

Byleth smiled, and grabbed her hand and used the other to caress her face.

Not saying anything, he pulled in for another kiss.

Then another.

Then another.

Then another.

By the time they both realized what was happening, Megumi was on top of him and refusing to let go of his lips.

When they finally pulled away for a short breath, they both stared at each other quietly.

(Megumi) “You...don’t mind if we....um...do you?”

(Byleth) “Do what?”

Megumi laughed again, grabbing his face and kissing him again, putting his hands on her waist...

...

...

...

Sara was walking by the dorms to get to her room when she saw Megumi's door.
