8, 16 and 20 for the ask 👀
8: what I hope more people will come to appreciate
My beautiful disaster lineage daughters Komari and Nim
Honestly, out of all of the main Yoda lineage they seem like the characters people love to forget about (Nim i can forgive because she really only is mentioned in one book i think, but KOMARI even has visuals!!!)
I just think more people should pay attention to Dooku's older emo daughter
16: tiny detail in canon I want more ppl to appreciate
it has been.... a hot second since i actually watched any canonical sw, so this is a bit tricky
uuuuuhhhh can i say the Diathim? they are my favorite sw species and i actually really like that they took the kinda throwaway line of Anakin in tpm and made an actual space siren/angel species
20: my very first fandom
this is also... difficult
if you say fandom as in me exchanging opinions about a franchise with at least one person, then probably Sailor Moon. I had one (1) friend who also read the manga and we sometimes talked about it
other than that, if you want to count like actual fandom as in larger (online) spaces then it is indeed star wars. the one and only, really. at least that i am active in in some capacity

Peaceful Sounds and Flower Crowns
Word Count: 1,494
Summary: Felix and Bridgette agree to spend a summer afternoon studying together, but Bridgette gets a little distracted.
*Author’s Note*: I’ve been meaning to write this for a while, it’s a sweet little one shot based on this picture by @edorazzi. In my version of the PV, Bridgette lives with her grandparents above their bakery (which I don’t know if that was ever an actual show idea but at some point I came up with it). Happy summer and I hope you enjoy.
(Also available on my Ao3, found on my blog links)
Even though they had been dating for a few months now, considering Bridgette Cheng as his legitimate girlfriend still felt slightly strange to Felix. Not in a bad way, of course. He certainly didn’t harbor any lingering resentment for her or her bubbly and persistent personality; on the contrary, he had actually grown quite fond of those parts of her he used to find annoying. He’d seen such behavior as a nuisance when all he wanted was for her to take the hint to stay away from him, considering his aura of bad luck would run amok on anyone and anything that got too close to him. Felix was used to being prickly, unsociable, alone…keeping people at a distant was nothing new to him even before that coal black ring of bad luck sealed to his finger. But Bridgette, she practically made it her job to make it difficult for him to keep his distance.
Now, a few months after the truth of their superhero identities had been revealed to one another, Felix had to admit that being close to Bridgette was one of the most comforting things in his life. He loved seeing her smile, hearing her laugh, feeling her arm wrap around his as the two of them wandered the city on their days off—both from being students and defenders of justice. The sound of her feet pattering up to meet him, the brush of her hair against his chin when she hugged him, and the peck of her lips leaving a warm spot on his cheek that flooded with blush before he even knew what was happening all made his heart swell with identifiable emotions.  In short, he had never been happier.
This afternoon the two had the pleasure of getting together in a local park to study. While Bridgette’s grandparent’s bakery was their go-to study location, Felix had suggested they take advantage of the mild summer weather and appreciate a nice change of scenery while they were on break. Studying wasn’t Bridgette’s first idea of a fun date, but Felix was so insistent on getting a head start on their coursework for the coming semester she didn’t have the heart to not indulge him. The weather was warm, but not overbearingly so thanks to the periodic breeze.
Bridgette laid out a blanket for them to lounge on, trying not to grimace at the stack of books Felix removed from his backpack after setting it down. She put her chin on her knees and watched as he methodically unloaded them, tapping a finger against her leg as her eyes shifted from the books, to his face, to the flowers in the grass and bushes around them. Their aroma filled the area, surrounding them in a sweet, calming mixture of scents that brought a drowsiness over her.
“Hey, are you sure you want to do this today?” Felix’s voice startled her, and Bridgette snapped her eyes open, adjusting her sitting position and nodding earnestly.
“Of course! It’s just so nice out, I got a little caught up in all the sounds and smells.”
“You pay attention to that stuff?” Felix inquired, disbelief displayed on his face and in his voice. “The city is the same today as it always is.”
Bridgette giggled, and her laughter only deepened the crease in Felix’s forehead. “Am I missing something?”
She shook her head, scooting closer to him so she could rest her head on his shoulder. “You and I just see the world differently. Vastly different. It isn’t a bad thing, though. Hopefully it means we’ll be able to open each other’s eyes to things we can’t see on our own.”
“The only thing I’m going to be opening your eyes to today is this textbook,” Felix retorted, tossing the final book down with a punctuating thump.
“Aw, but your beautiful face has already opened my eyes plenty. It’s like getting a glimpse of the sun without actually being blinded.”
Felix couldn’t help but blush at Bridgette’s offhand comment. Now that he had taken the time to get to know her, and was aware of the fact that she was so much more than the clingy classmate with an overbearing crush on him, she got under his skin so easily. All she had to do was bat her eyes a certain way, or come at him out of the blue with a compliment like that, and it was like she was holding his heartstrings hostage. Felix did his best to inconspicuously hide his inflamed face behind a book under the guise of research, but knowing that she had embarrassed him only made Bridgette flush the same shade.
“Ahem, well, what subjects did you bring?” she asked, hoping to clear the air.
“I was thinking we could take a look at some of the literature selections, since those tend to be easier to tackle,” he explained, setting his book down once his blush subsided. “I also brought some science, math, and history books, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to get to all of them this afternoon.”
“I sincerely hope not…” Bridgette muttered, sifting through some of the volumes and doing her best not to outwardly cringe at the prospect of doing preemptive summer reading. “Why don’t you go through some of them and decide where you want to start?”
Felix shrugged and picked up one of the literary texts, flipping through the pages absently as he followed the table of contents to draw samples from the various sections. While he continued his inventory, Bridgette passed the time by plucking a few of the nearby flowers, weaving them into small strings, crowns, bracelets, and various other accessories. It was times like this that her abundance of hair came in handy, and she got to work braiding some of the longer stemmed flowers into her hair after plopping one of the finished crowns on her head.
Their sweet smell became more apparent to Felix, but he was too busy keeping himself busy to see what had triggered the change, hoping to avoid any more embarrassing distractions. Bridgette was all too focused on him, though, mostly just intent to take in all the quality time with him she could before it was ruined. She knew it was unlikely that Felix would purposefully hurt her, especially now, but with the threats that came with their line of work and the unknown future, she wanted to savor every precious moment she got with him.
A breeze drifted by, tousling Felix’s flowing locks in the process. Bridgette had idly started watching him as she braided, and the sudden sparkling strands before her gave her an idea. As she finished her braids, she nabbed some of the flowers she had set aside and scooted closer to Felix, weaving a flower into the edge of his mane. He perked up at the sudden feel of fingers in his hair, peeking to the side to see Bridgette intently concentrated on lacing his hair with an array of rainbow flowers. He blushed again, but it was more mellow, more content than the startled heat that had overwhelmed him a few minutes before.
“What do you think you’re doing?”
Bridgette froze, realizing she probably should have asked before she started assaulting his hair with vibrant plant buds. “Uh, I’m sorry, I just…”
A small, very cute, very unexpected chuckle passed from Felix’s lips. “You don’t have to apologize. Your hair looks very beautiful, all done up like that.”
Now it was Bridgette’s turn to be starstruck. She swore if she could see herself now, her whole body would be the same rosy shade as some of the buds in her hair, or her signature superhero suit. Felix turned, pecking her sweetly on the lips before returning to his book. Bridgette’s heart beat so hard it hurt, and her fingers trembled with a force that rendered them unusable. Felix sensed her anxiety, patting her hand a bit and giving her a rare but reassuring smile before he returned to his book.
“It feels really nice, when you play with my hair like that,” he encouraged as he relocated the page he was on. “Would you mind doing it a little more?”
Without another word, Bridgette returned to her playful plaiting. She unconsciously began humming, and although Felix didn’t recognize the song, he appreciated the ambiance. Before he knew it he found his eyelids growing heavy, his desire to get lost in the peace of the moment overriding his desire to finish reading the passage he was on. Bridgette could hear his breathing slow to a calm rhythm, and she smiled, adding more flowers and continuing to hum along. Right now they weren’t Ladybug and Chat Noir, nor were they the Cheng bakery girl and the prestigious Agreste son. No, right now they were simply Bridgette and Felix, enjoying each other’s company and the tranquility of their shared summer afternoon. Studying had never been so enjoyable.

Midoriya Kou - character details
For a few weeks now, I was thinking about making posts in which I will describe my OCs and will add other interesting information about them. I mean, I am pretty sure that from my writing, most people didn’t gather much... so this way I want to disclose my characters to my readers. Charts will be gradually updated as I’ll write next chapters so be prepared for spoilers. 
I will sometimes use links to pictures or I will mention other anime characters for you to get better idea of what I have in mind. I don’t want to post directly what people made without their consent and I am too shy to ask them for it. 
Now, let’s start by my most successful OC so far: Kou from Abyss!
Introduction 
Midoriya Kou is main character of my Boku no Hero Academia fanfiction named Abyss. From the name most can already guess that she is relative of protagonist from BnHA - more precisely she is his twin sister. As such they are the same age and until the end of Primary school they were always together. Before starting Junior High she moved away to their grandparent’s house and started to attend different school than her twin. However, she came back to live with her mother and twin once she finished her Junior High school.
The meaning of the name Kou I use in this fanfiction is ‘light’ and I actually do have a reason why I used this meaning (I actually have more than one, but that would spoil more than I am okay with). It is supposed to represent that in her second life she was given chance to live in ‘light’ while most of her past life was spent in ‘dark'. If she actually takes this chance fully and stays in light or if she gazed into abyss for too long to be able to stay, remains a mystery for now~.
Past life
Kou is reincarnated OC and remembers most of her past life, but as she never saw anime or read manga, she doesn’t know that she was reincarnated into anime world. 
There is not much to say about her past family as she was unplanned/unwanted child and her parents didn’t really like her, but they at least took care of her basic necessities. Though they, along with other people she sometimes interacted with, cut all ties with her after she ended up in prison.
When she was 10 years old, she met Theo. Who, after short while, became her best friend and at the same time the most important person to her. She spent her next eight years pulling him out of troubles that he got himself into because of his kind and virtuous personality. However, few weeks after she turned eighteen, Theo died in her arms. Losing all her reason, she tried to kill the one responsible, only to end in jail. 
Once she got out, she firstly gathered money, experience and information, moving around in darker side of the world. Once she was sure she was prepared enough, she successfully killed the person responsible for Theo’s death and then... well she just did whatever. Not really happy about living, but not wanting to die either. She worked as courier, transporting various things that are best not to be specified.
Then, she died when she was thirty after making a novice mistake and ended up being reborn. Her second chance as Midoriya Kou started!
Appearance
Because she is twin of Izuku, she is very similar to him in appearance. However, there are several differences between this pair of twins.
The first being their hair. While Kou’s hair is very curled, it isn’t to the point where it can’t be tamed. She usually makes one or two braids out of it, because she doesn’t have patience with long hair (she only let her hair grow because her mother liked it that way), but when she does let it free, it is just ‘curly’ and it doesn’t stand into all directions like her brother’s tends to. However when she combs it... she ends up resembling a poodle (she is still unaware that all she has to do, to not resemble this dog, is not comb her hair, thus she stays with braiding). Anyway, her hair is lighter than her brother’s but not by much. I’d say the color would be something like this. That’s probably all for hair. (If you can’t visualize how she looks with braids, this is pretty close to my image).
The next is that while Izuku has few freckles under his eyes, Kou’s cheeks and nose are completely sprayed with them. Her mother thinks it look cute and Kou is like ‘Meh’. 
She is taller than Izuku by quite a lot in their early teen years, but by the time of High school the difference evens up a little, because of his growth spurt, however she is still taller than him by few inches. 
Their face shapes and eyes are similar, though Kou looks more ‘harsh’, probably because of her ever present scowl and glare. 
Personality
Calling Kou antisocial would be an understatement of a millennium. She doesn’t do ‘friendly’ stuff and for most cases she doesn’t even do ‘civil’ stuff. But to not be so harsh on her, if she is in a good mood and if the person in question didn’t offend her in any way, she can be fairly mild towards them.
However, mostly, she is just rude person who glares at everyone that aren’t part of her ‘okay group’ - into which is nearly impossible to get as that person either had to be very persistent or they have to strike her weak points (one of them being sweets).
Thus she is considered unapproachable and ‘run on sight’ person. The rumors that circulate around, labeling her as delinquent certainly don’t help with this image. She does nothing about them as; 1) she doesn’t care and 2) they are kind of true... She can’t help that she likes to fight, okay??
Her bad points don’t end here, too. She can be easily angered and is very hot-tempered when It comes to her brother. Her morals are also a little screwed because of her past life. And she sometimes seems to think very lowly of herself even if she denies such a fact. 
But, in the core, she isn’t a bad person. If she sees someone in need and it won’t bring her much trouble, she is willing to help them. She would never kill a person without reason. And when she considers somebody family or friend, if someone hurts him/her, they’ll have her hot on their heels, roaring and fuming for revenge. 
She can also be quite reasonable and is able to think things through if situation calls for it (and if the situation in question doesn’t involve her brother). Her realist part sometimes brings her more trouble than anything as she is easily confused when someone behaves in a way she wasn’t expecting and can even freak out if the situation suddenly goes beyond her understanding and control.
She has soft spots for animals and sometimes for kids, if they aren’t annoying brats and can do killing puppy-dog eyes.
Kou can also be pretty stubborn when she sets her mind onto something - it can be viewed as good trait in some cases.
Relationships
Family Her family consists of her, her twin brother and mother. Father isn’t around for most of time because of ‘mysterious reasons’. After twins reached one year this little family was extended after their grandparents were introduced. Her mother is supposed to have an older sister, but her aunty still didn’t make an appearance. 
Midoriya Izuku (Kou either calls him Izuku or otouto) She has best relationship with her brother as she decided early on that he will be her most important person in this new life. However, still remembering what happened to Theo (and seeing so much of him in Izuku), she ended up doting on her brother and being very protective of him. To the point where it was unbearable for him and he ended up ‘blowing up’ after bottling everything for some time. Even if she decided to move away for Junior High, their relationship didn’t worsen and she is still in ‘doting’ mode whenever they call/text each other. She tries to restrain herself a bit, however. 
Midoriya Inko (called mom) Her relationship with her mom is very easy-going and pleasant. She loves her mother very much, but while she does see Inko as her mother, she can’t bring herself to depend on her the way child should, because she is mentally older than her. Inko is aware that the older of twins is different in many ways, but is very understanding and doesn’t force her to behave like normal kid, instead she accepts that her daughter is just special. She is sometimes sad that she isn’t depended on more, but all the more she treasures those rare times she can help her with something (for example how to use quirk).
Midoriya Aihi (called granny) Their start was pretty rocky as granny was mean to Inko and that wasn’t something Kou could stand. In the end, it turns out that Aihi is even more socially inept than Kou (and that’s quite a feat). Their relationship now is quite good as they share their love for drawing and as fellow unsociable individual, Aihi could be quite understanding at times. However Kou’s grandma is also very traditional woman and is easily displeased when Kou behaves ’unlady-like’. She started to teach proper manners to Kou from very young age to nurture a proper lady out of her, but as of now she gave up. Instead she changed her lessons as is now trying to make a good housewife out of Kou.
Midoriya Manabu (called grandpa) Not much I can really say about their relationship as he spends most of time with Izuku (he always wanted a son). He is kind to her and doesn’t ignore her and when they talk with each other it’s enjoyable for both, but they don’t have any need to seek each other all the time when they are in the same house. 
Midoriya Hisashi (called father) He dosn’t spent a lot of time with his family as his work is pretty time consuming and also if his relation to them were to be known, they could be put into danger. Kou has neutral feelings towards him (though she is pretty peeved that he left his wife like that) as she can’t really guess his reason for not being with his family (and still sending money). She always have near her bed the cat keychain he gave her (Izuku got one, too), though. 
Friends As I said before, Kou isn’t very friendly individual. One can even wonder why would someone want to be her friend, but surprisingly she has quite a lot of friends??? As of now, her friends include: Akaguro Chizome, Bakugo Katsuki, Ashido Mina, Shiozaki Ibara. And next chapter one other person will appear...
Akaguro Chizome (usually rudely called ‘Chizome’) More known to readers as ‘Stain’. Yes, I did this. Anyway what I want people to know first, is the fact that they met each other when Chizome was still very young and ‘unstained’ (heh... unstained... stain... get it?) by killing. In canon he would have already started to train his body few months before his parents died and their deaths would only cement the idea of killing (at least I am going with this reasoning, his past is very vague). But, he is different in this FF. He met Kou and while some may see what she did for him as ‘small things’, even those small things could make big differences. Anyway, so, he sees her like weird little girl that he can’t help but to be fond of and I suppose he sees her sorta like his little sister. And Kou? Well she is just like ‘Meh, I suppose now it’s too late to erase him completely from my life. He is here to stay I guess.’ But secretly she totally likes him (not in romantic way, mind you).
Bakugo Katsuki (nicknamed ‘shorty’ by Kou, sometimes called Katsuki) Hah. I personally very enjoy their relationship. They started as enemies/rivals/nemesis whatever you want to call them. They fought each other every time they met and Izuku was just standing there, in the middle (as Katsuki’s best friend and Kou’s twin), slowly developing a ‘totally done with your sh*t’ attitude. As time went, they somehow became friends and the number of fights lessened (mainly because Katsuki interacted with too much damn brats in kindergarten and she would never go near those kinds of crowds. Never again). As Kou took it upon her to reduce Katsuki’s ego every time she met him, he grew up to be different from canon. He is more closer to Izuku than he was in anime/manga and he is also a lot calmer (though with Kou being away from three years, he will probably become a little wild). He is more like the Katsuki in later chapters of manga. More serious, mature and well... certainly not a bully. Doesn’t mean he isn’t loud, arrogant, swearing brat, though - I don’t want to take this from him, he is very interesting character in canon, if he just wasn’t such a bully... Well anyway. Some people (read most) think that just because Kou won’t be here for a while, he will start to bully Izuku and be overall shit he was in canon. Nope. Not happening. I love Katsuki I made in my fanfiction, thank you very much. He will become even more violent and loud, though... 
Ashido Mina (called Mina) The newest addition into a gang and simultaneously the strangest one. She abruptly appeared, confused the hell out of our poor Kou, somehow managed to push her into socializing and then squeezed out a promise of meeting everyday during lunch break out of Kou. All of this in only few minutes. Scary girl. Even I, as an author, was surprised by her sudden appearance. She just pushed herself into my fanfiction. Very scary girl indeed. Ah well, anyway, her actions remains a mystery to all residents of Earth. She is future BFF of Kou.
Shiozaki Ibara (called Ibara) I needed someone to pair up with Kou for school things in Primary school and also for Kou to not look so unsociable... heh. And well, Ibara just happened to be that person. I don’t have their relationship fleshed enough as I came over the primary days pretty fast. I can only say that while they are sort of friends, they aren’t close... The both have more important friends.
Kirishima Eijiro (called Eijiro) Their relationship is difficult to explain as she doesn’t want to do anything with him as she thinks of him as ‘weird’ and all he wants is to be friends with this ‘girl with manly heart’. Also he kind of has a small crush on her which creeps Kou out even more and makes Mina laugh her ass off. 
Love interests  Ah well, this is added because I know some will want to know this in the future (or already want). So just saying this now: This fanfiction will probably be without any romance. I can make small ‘teases’ or crack pairings and probably some fluff, but there will be no actual romance. The thing is, I see Kou as aromantic person as while she can have platonic feelings. she can’t be romantically interested in anyone. There is also this thing that she is mostly 30+ years older than her peers (or at least her mind is) and is very much aware of it. So yeah, probably no romance.
Special traits 
Quirk Kou inherited her mom’s quirk - attraction. However while Inko can only attract smaller, lighter object, Kou is capable to attract heavier objects. As long as they are lighter than her she is able to attract them towards her (though heavier object are harder to attract). Also, when the object is heavier than her, she is instead the one pulled towards it, though the landing is very uncomfortable and she has problems landing on her legs. Kou likes to experiment with her quirk, so she is capable to do a lot of things with it now - she can attract things to her so fast untrained eye can’t catch it or on the other side she can make it go to her so slowly that it nearly looks like it isn’t moving. She can also pull people towards her, but only if they are lighter than her (it’s the reason why she makes sure to weight more than Izuku - she wants to always have the possibility of having him near her). She never tried to attract towards heavier people - the collision would surely be painful. She also likes to attract pointy things to her randomly - certainly doesn’t help her image, as anyone can guess.
Fighting style In her past life Kou used to fight a lot and she still retails memories of her fighting style, though she had to alter it a little because her current body doesn’t have and probably would never have, as much strength as her past had. She usually hits the most vulnerable and painful areas to quickly immobilize the person she fights, using her smaller and usually more flexible body to attack from directions other party isn’t expecting. This style requires her to know human body quite well - she doesn’t regret all those long weeks spent on remembering each part of a body, it was quite satisfying to know more about one subject than most people. She is currently trying to incorporate her quirk into her style, too, and it is going quite well - others don’t expect things to fly at them from different directions when they fight someone. She also doesn’t mind playing dirty - spitting, biting, targeting crotch isn’t above her. Both Katsuki and Chizome were unfortunate enough to learn this first hand. While she was quite skilled in using knifes in past - she didn’t really had any chance to use knife in her new life as for her, using knife means she wants to kill the other person. She, however, always has pocket knife on her. Just in case.
Likes & Dislikes & Hobbies
Likes She likes to eat sweet things. A lot. It’s practically the only thing she spends her pocket money on. Strawberry flavored ones are best, but others are cool, too. She likes every person in her ‘okay group’, her family and her cat named ‘Miss Cat’ (Did I already mentioned that she has the worst naming sense? No? Well then, I am saying it now). Her new homeroom teacher is okay. Every type of vehicle is cool to her, but cars and motorcycles the most. She enjoys driving, but altering them and rummaging through them is fun too. Her favorite subjects in school are English, Physical Education, Art and Physic. She surprisingly finds Math okay in this life, maybe because she never paid proper attention to it in past life. She likes to wear comfortable clothes, that don't restrict her movements.
Dislikes She dislikes vegetables, but she eats them without protesting. Though she very much refuses to even touch broccoli. She doesn’t like practically everyone that aren’t in her ‘okay group’. But there are some specific groups of people she very much dislike with all her being. Those being bullies, people who annoy her deliberately, people who make fun of her brother and... her Primary homeroom teacher - she deserves her own group. Her most hated school subjects are Japanese language, Biology (only because of her Primary homeroom teacher), History and Geography. And school in general is a pain in the ass for her.  She refuses to wear frilly clothes and hates school uniforms with passion.   Her biggest fears are angering granny and bugs.  Also she isn’t a biggest fan of Grandma’s lessons. 
Hobbies At the moment her hobbies include drawing (she enjoys drawing mangas), teasing Katsuki, fighting with random thugs, thinking up the most vicious revenges, hiding in a restroom and talking with her brother. Also as of last chapter her hobbies include engineering.

Inu x Boku SS Review - Overall
So, another anime that I have finally gotten around to watching after my friend recommended it to me multiple times.
Tumblr media
...for being at least good enough to be the first shonen anime that I have finished in a while.
Rating: 8/10
Spoiler-free preview: First of all, here’s the synopsis from My AnimeList because I’m too lazy to explain it myself right now:
Ririchiyo Shirakiin is the sheltered daughter of a renowned family. With her petite build and wealthy status, Ririchiyo has been a protected and dependent girl her entire life, but now she has decided to change all that. However, there is just one problem—the young girl has a sharp tongue she can't control, and terrible communication skills.
With some help from a childhood friend, Ririchiyo takes up residence in Maison de Ayakashi, a secluded high-security apartment complex that, as the unsociable 15-year-old soon discovers, is home to a host of bizarre individuals. Furthermore, their quirky personalities are not the strangest things about them: each inhabitant of the Maison de Ayakashi, including Ririchiyo, is actually half-human, half-youkai.
But Ririchiyo's troubles have only just begun. As a requirement of staying in her new home, she must be accompanied by a Secret Service agent. Ririchiyo's new partner, Soushi Miketsukami, is handsome, quiet... but ridiculously clingy and creepily submissive. With Soushi, her new supernatural neighbors, and the beginning of high school, Ririchiyo definitely seems to have a difficult path ahead of her.
So, as much as I loved the youkai elements of this anime and felt that the characters were quite unique, it was a bit of a strange anime and almost the same as just a simple supernatural school anime until the last few episodes.
I feel like it had little plot and not quite what the summary suggests, but I still enjoyed it due to the characters. Most of the episodes felt like fillers with boring things happening over and over again. I’ve seen spoilers for the manga though and I feel that it was probably better than this.
Ririchiyo annoys me multiple times throughout the story. Just when I think that she has developed, she reverts back to her old self. Soushi doesn’t seem to have developed at all until his backstory with Ririchiyo is revealed. The minor characters were enjoyable, all being unique in their own way, though they are not developed much either.
Recommended if you just want to watch a not very stressful shounen anime with interesting characters.
Spoilers and most of my thoughts start under the cut.
Review: First, let me get how pissed off I am at Ririchiyo out of the way. Look at that gif up there!! I think that was episode goddamn FIVE. And after that? Nope, she just goes back to snapping at everyone, even if she has opened up a little bit more.
Ok. Characters come later, Crystal.
Let’s talk about quality first. The art is nice, nothing too special in my opinion. A bit dull. Sound quality - oh my god. What is this cast of seiyuus?!
It’s practically the first thing I noticed when I saw the anime. Eguchi, Mamo, Kana, Hosoyan, Nakamura Yuuichi, just to name a few. They were all perfect in their roles and fit their characters perfectly. I’ve heard Mamo is Tamaki Suoh, but I kinda felt that it was hard to recognize his voice as Zange. So, well, props to his versatility.
I loved that they had so many ending themes. My favorite would have to be 太陽と月 (Sun and Moon) by Renshou Sorinozuka (Yoshimasa Hosoya) & Nobara Yukinokouji (Youko Hikasa) which is episode 7′s ending theme. Hosoyan is a great singer :) (I love him as Arata in Tsukiuta and he needs to be a solo artist).
Going on from that. Plot. I don’t see it. Ririchiyo basically goes to school every day, stuff happens that is barely troublesome, episode ends. I feel like they just wasted the manga’s plot and characters along with the quality.
Characters. I adored Soushi, and his past made me like him more. Ririchiyo, well, I already explained her. Zange was a cool character, I liked the way Mamo portrayed him and his constant nicknames for everyone. Watanuki was a bit of a cliche character to me, Karuta was sweet and cute, and Kagerou made me face palm, to sum them up quickly.
This anime isn’t really a memorable one for me and I feel like I will forget it soon enough, but it was nice. Now to leave some screenshots from episode 12:
Tumblr media
I always die at that scene.
Tumblr media
The kids made me laugh so hard. “The adults are doing dirty things~”
This is actually one of the funniest interruption of a confession moment that I have seen.
Tumblr media
Black Butler vibes are incredible.
Tumblr media
Soushi’s different side in episode 13 makes me squeal (character development)!
Ok, sorry for the short review, but honestly, it wasn’t too memorable.

Pros and Cons of Melbourne
Cons:
I have no clothes dryer so washing has to be timed perfectly with decent weather to hang clothes out
...there is no decent weather. I have forgotten what the sun looks like.
i can see my breath in my bathroom
simultaneously there is no fan in my bathroom so when i have a hot shower i get nauseous from all the steam
there is also no proper light in my bathroom, goodbye night showers
there is no dishwasher, which is fine but i get kinda sick of washing up after my flatmate (she obviously believes in letting a decent load pile up whereas i just wash as i go through the day)
there’s no microwave. which i’m living with so far but like does restrict some of the stuff i can make (will need to invest in a hot water bottle before my next period as i can’t use my wheat pack)
no direct light in my room because of surrounding structures (and partly the fact that they don’t have sun in melbourne right now in general) so i’m like amazed by the blue sky back home now. not getting sun legit gets me down evidently
i don’t want a car down there because i’d be terrified driving but i miss the freedom of driving whenever i want
did not factor in the obvious douchey/jaded/pretentious melbourne art scene i would have to dear with in my art degree...
i am evidently very far behind as far as life experience/general current art scene knowledge in comparison to other students (i thought because I finished my undergraduate degree late i would be behind time wise but in fact i am the youngest in my classes and everyone else has taken time to intern, work and volunteer more before starting)
my flatmate is oddly loud?? like just on the phone all the time (sometimes work), plays tv loud while she cooks, sings along loudly to music, is a stomper (this last one i am use to with my sister though at least)
so unsocial. like i’m not that social back home but having jobs to go to where i have friends/interact with people and just generally seeing family all the time was definitely a lot more socialising than i realised. I went to the shops the other day (like 2pm or something) and when i went to say i didn’t need a bag my voice was super croaky and i realised that was the first time i’d spoke that day, or even in a couple of days possibly
my place is so cold/drafty (see: no direct light, one heater in the house, all hard wood floors, old house so gaps etc), like i’m in my room in the middle of the day wearing two pairs of socks and a jumper and still being cold sometimes kind of cold
have lost 1-1.5kg in 2 weeks (partly from trying to eat healthy and partly because I’m self-conscious about my roommate judging me for snacking all the time and having like bags of chips or cookies always on the go). So like hungry all the time.
not adjusted to the new night noises of my neighbourhood/not sleeping with my cat so it takes me hours to get to sleep
i’m kinda unmotivated just like in general, like uni and doing things. The latter has to do partly with the fact i have to walk or catch a tram everywhere so i’m just like ‘ugh can’t be bothered’ all the time.
already dropped one subject at uni because i had no idea what was going on and wasn’t enjoying it
i’m not kinda filled with any kind of joy about living in melbourne?? like maybe because i visit there all the time so it’s just nothing special to me but like idk i’m not getting any enjoyment out of it yet (although like i said i’m not doing much rn)
Pros:
Fast internet
....so i got netflix
