[image ID: the first image is of the cover for the Hello from the Hallowoods podcast. it depicts the silhouettes of trees, and a large creature emerging from behind them. it's furry, with horns, large antlers, and a clawed hand raised up, as if waving at the viewer. above the creature, in the middle of a red gun sight, reads: "Hello." in red text. the second image is of Brutha, a boy with short black hair, wearing black robes, kneeling in front of a tortoise. he's glancing at an elderly, bearded man wearing similar robes to his left. end ID]

Diggory Graves

Convinced they only lost the deadguydeathmatch because not enough people knew about them. A bit of a Frankenstein's monster scenario. Uses they/them pronouns, is dating a ghost trans man. Despite their intimidating appearance they are lovely and would go to the ends of the Earth for their friends. Their arms are for hugs and their claws are for fighting

Yor Briar

She loves her life making sure her Real Job of Assassin is kept secret. She even willingly enters into a fraudulent marriage to make sure her secret is safe. She don’t even tell her bro! She got this job to keep other (children) from joining the *war traumatized* club. Did I mention she is an assassin, city hall employee, wife, mother, and sister all at the same time? And she is *insanity* strong.

Makima

"I mean I guess she's gonna get submitted a gazillion times so you already know her. She could easily be the poster girl for this tournament. She is the QUEEN of 3Gs. Spoiler alert but everything she does has the precise objective to manipulate everyone around her and discard those she has no more use for. She will make you fall for her without you even noticing it. She will destroy everything else in your life to make you utterly dependent on her. She aims to make the world in her image."

She constantly manipulates everyone in the story, up to manufacturing their exact living conditions to get them in the position she wants. Canonically everyone is compelled to love her *just because*

that's literally all she does, her job description, her entire character

i fucking hate her for every reason and way she gaslights gatekeeps and girlbosses (which is many). make her win.

That was made for her lol. Huge spoilers for chainsaw man obv. She groom a homeless teenager, give him a house, a family then kill them in front of him to traumatize him so hard so chainsaw man can take back the control of his body (makes no sens like that but that's not the point), because she wants to use chainsaw man to eradicate every fears in the world (cause there're devils based on humans fears but again that's not the point). She's creepy as hell, does she have a heart ? Probably not. She also controls the devil hunter organisation stuff (while being the control devil but no one knows that). She can control anyone she judge inferior with chains, and she judges almost everyone inferior to her so it's kinda op. People loves her tho, they think she's neat (she's not)(in chainsaw man btw)(like, lot of guys are in love with her, probably cause she manipulate them)

Spends the entire series manipulating Denji to make him emotionally dependant on her. Constantly manipulating and using everyone around her.

Best Underrated Anime Group D Round 3: #D3 vs #D1

#D3: Lots of traumatized minors messing each other up bad

#D1: Prohibition era Mafia revenge story

Details and poll under the cut!

#D3: Happy Sugar Life

Summary:

Satou Matsuzaka is a beautiful high schooler who has a reputation for being permissive with men. However, a chance encounter with a young girl named Shio Koube makes Satou realize that this is her first and only true feeling of love.

Telling others that she lives with her aunt, Satou secretly shares an apartment with Shio. Despite her innocent appearance, Satou is willing to do anything to protect her beloved, resorting to desperate measures to ensure that their “happy sugar life” remains intact.

Propaganda:

It is questionable, but in the way that the anime is meant to make you uncomfortable. It’s an uneasy psychological horror. You’re meant to dislike almost the entire cast, so you don’t know who to root for. Yes, the characters are fucked up, but it isn’t glorified as far as I can see.

It made my stomach churn, and I was sobbing at the end because that’s what it was trying to do.

I said it’s not good, meaning it’s not comfortable, and none of the characters are good. But it’s well-written and it’s interesting.

Trigger Warnings:

Child Abuse, Pedophilia (not graphic)

Murder/Violence (one brief scene is semi-violent, but most isn’t shown)

Kidnapping

Rape/Non-Con (not shown, but it’s obvious that it happened/explicitly stated)

Suicide

#D1: 91 Days

Summary:

As a child living in the town of Lawless, Angelo Lagusa has witnessed a tragedy: his parents and younger brother have been mercilessly slaughtered by the Vanetti mafia family. Losing everything he holds dear, he leaves both his name and hometown behind, adopting the new identity of Avilio Bruno. Seven years later, Avilio finally has his chance for revenge when he receives a mysterious letter prompting him to return to Lawless. Obliging, he soon encounters the Vanetti don’s son, Nero, and seeks to befriend him using the skills he has quietly honed for years. Set during the Prohibition era, this show tells the story of Avilio’s dark, bloodstained path to vengeance, as he slowly ends each of the men involved in the killing of his family.

Propaganda:

This series has character designs by the art director of Baccano. In fact, the setting of it being in the early 1920s in America is sort of reminiscent of Baccano. However, the story is much crueler and more grounded than that other famous series, even if it involves a similar amount of guns and blood.

The anime follows a broken and traumatized young man fueled by revenge. It’s a tragedy and a thriller and a Mafia series. We see the lengths Angelo Lagusa goes to avenge his family, whom he’s the last living survivor of. He changes his name and leads a double life, getting close to the Vanetti family, who killed his birth family. But in the process of trying to do this, he gets adopted into this Mafia family.

He must wrestle with his morality as he keeps on the bloody road of revenge. People that don’t deserve to be hurt get hurt or killed because of his actions—even dying by his hands.

It's an anime that shows just how far someone is willing to go for revenge, willing to break everything in his path for it. And considering the Prohibition era came to an end in history, was all the trickery and killing even worth it?

Trigger Warnings: Animal Cruelty/Death, Cannibalism, Emotional Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Suicide, Alcohol and Smoking.

This entire series is a mob story so there's lots of guns, blood, and killing. There is an assisted suicide of an important character. Also the family dog dies when the main character's family is massacred in the first episode.

Group D, Round 3, Poll 1:

Propaganda under the cut

Lord Vetinari

Tyrant ruler of a city, former assassin who took over the city after a long string of other patricians. Loves to trick people into thinking things were their ideas, manipulate people and deny it to their faces, and make sure everyone stays in line. Loves the city and manages it well. Cunty, will do anything to keep playing a board game with someone from another country, actually kind of nice sometimes if you’re not a threat to him.

Goro Akechi

While not a girl, he manifests ever other aspect of the motto. He gaslights the phantom thieves, making believe their methods, proven to be safe thus far, got a man killed. He then infiltrates their group, gaining their trust but slowly leading them astray into an ambush. Then, all of this is part of a complex gambit to take down his father and the government of Japan by extension.
