KFKDLSFKLDSFJ THAT WOULD BE WONDEROUS
... I"LL JUST LIVEBLOG ME WRITING THIS HOWABOUT THA TKLJDSFKLDSF KLDSJ (me to myself: make shitty videos about it make shitty videos about it make shitty videos about it)
I"M EXCITED I"LL HYPERFIXATE ON BIOLOGY WHOOPDEDOO
(the ap bio exam today was so anticlimactic smh)
I JUST GOT SOME THEMES AND CHARACTER CONFLICT FOR MAIN CHARACTER IN PLACE, AND I SHALL POST ABOUT THEM TOMORROW
ALso Cassiah the caspase (the dolll) looks a little different now since I brought them in my bag to the ap bio test for... luck I guess? And their hair got flattened and IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE THE ART I DREW FOR THEM AAAAA-
I do not have a phone so ... it might take me a bit to take a picture but this is art:
Tumblr media
Well kinda actually, looking at it now it's flattened in a slightly edgy way? But I like it better since I overdid the hair anyways and now it looks less visually cluttered. (I hope.)
OH AND THE THEMES SO FAR ARE ABOUT EXTENSIALLISM KJDFKDSFj
So I write biology fanfiction.
*And I'm giving it arcs and metaphors and a narrative journey because BYTHESTARS I cannot give anything a simple plotline.*
Tumblr media
Probably going to redo some of it, because right now it's just vibes. I want to do some learning in what makes sense narratively by flipping around the textbook, then I can do some ARCS and WORLDBUILDING.

Excuse moi? I friggin? Love your writing so much?? Brain go brr.
Can I get some uuh... Denk Kanimari x Reader? Pwease?
Where Reader has a Poltergeist quirk, mostly meaning they can leave their body and posess others but if they leave too long they'll 💀💀💀 y'know
But like they're not like edgy?? Like that's just the quirk, aaaa idk anyway tysm love you bye
S/O WITH A POLTERGEIST QUIRK | HEADCANONS
Tumblr media Tumblr media
includes: kaminari d.
from the writer: omg thank u, sweetie!! I'm glad u like my writing and I hope u enjoy. thank u for requesting and have a lovely day/evening!
notes & warnings: mentions of d**th, reader has a poltergeist quirk
Tumblr media
he has a lot of questions, like he’s so fascinated with your quirk so you’ll probably hear stuff like “what does your body do when your spirit goes out of it? do you just leave it somewhere and get it later?” you heard him, Y/n come collect your body💀
he’s definitely asked you to possess him, multiple times, but it lowkey kinda helps when you’re in battle since you’re used to operating his quirk and knowing how to bring it to maximum power without frying out completely
he could also just possess your body if you’ve taken possession of his but he prefers to float around and watch the fight from above
your quirk is a bigger advantage in battle than you think, you can push another person’s soul out of their body and just take over their body and where are they gonna go?
other than your body which will practically just render them quirkless, the villain can only watch as you chat up the pros and let them cuff the villain’s body
you: 1, villain: 0
but the fact that your personality is the complete opposite is what has him hook, line, and sinker for you. you got in through recommendations so he only heard about your name and the fact that you had a crazy quirk
one of the rumors was that your quirk made people go: 😵 and poor baby got so scared but so excited to meet you because he decided right then and there that he wanted to be your best friend (and then they were dormmates)
after living in the dorms for a while, he slowly managed to learn the complications of your quirk but he takes advantage of that fact and likes to brag/scare outsiders about how badass you are and in all honesty, you’re absolutely amazing in his eyes so you know none of it is a lie
your favorite dates so far have been sneaking out late at night for convenience store runs and having imaginary mukbangs at restaurants where the employees aren’t sure whether to kick you out or to let you guys order more food
if you were possessing somebody else for their quirk like perhaps a civilian who offered (because consent is sexc), he’ll make sure to take care of your body and to keep it safe until you can return
i’m gonna add a little headcanon where other spirits can also possess your body and Kaminari gets a big kick out of talking to big names in history (he likes talking to english writers the most because he thinks your voice with an accent is hot)
there was a little incident where Kaminari hid your body safely in battle but he overdid himself with his quirk and you were this👌 close from never being able to inhabit your body again until Mina found it
sometimes you like to just leave your physical body in your room so your spirit can wander around, leaving Kaminari to find your body and have to go all over the dorms shouting out for you like you’re Casper the Ghost
im sorry but if you two combine into one person, you’d make Toritsuka Reita from Saiki K. 💀 that’s all i’m gonna say about that lol

CMDN
A/N #1: So I got a request on my main blog to write a fic using “Fluff #12 and Misc #16 (or both!!)” from this list by @honeyboychangbin a week or two ago. Now, writing a regular fic takes time (way more time than a musical fic), and I obviously had to come up with something using one or both of those sentence starters. I went for both. This fic is actually actually part of my “A Week at Penny’s” series (Part 1 | Part 2). Also, two songs kinda inspired me while I was writing: “LDN” by Lily Allen and “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper.
------------------
After the traumatic night they had experienced, Alice, Rowan, and Penny woke up with bags under their eyes. Ben and Tonks were already with the rest of Penny’s family eating breakfast.
“Took you long enough to wake up,” said Tonks between two bites of her toast.
“Wonder why,” replied Penny as she glared at Tonks along with the other two girls.
“Oh… Right…” replied Tonks, flustered, as she remembered what had happened the previous night.
“I had a very weird dream last night,” said Ben, eating his cereal, as the other girls took their seat around the table. “Filch had the body of a teenage girl…”
“Keep telling yourself it was a dream,” muttered Penny, still glaring at Tonks, who had taken a page from the newspaper to hide behind.
“What?” asked Ben, turning to Penny.
“Nothing, nothing,” said Alice before Penny could reply. “Anyway, what are the plans for today?”
“I don’t know… Maybe we could visit a neighbourhood in London?” suggested Penny.
“You don’t say! I thought we would visit a neighbourhood in Glasgow,” said Tonks, her mouth full of bread and jam.
“You could use the Floo powder if you want to,” offered Penny’s mother.
“It’s ok, Mum. Nymphadora was just being sarcastic,” said Penny, smirking as she noticed Tonks scowling.
“Ok, dear. Well, I’m off to do some shopping with Beatrice. See you this evening,” said Penny’s mother as she left the flat with Beatrice.
“So, where should we go?” asked Penny.
“What about the British Museum?” suggested Rowan. “I’ve always wanted to see the Rosetta Stone!”
“Oh, please, no! Not a stuffy museum. We do enough learning during our time at Hogwarts, I just want to have some fun during the summer!” exclaimed Tonks.
“Come on, Rowan, there’s gotta be a neighbourhood in London you want to see?” asked Alice to her best friend. “And don’t say the neighbourhood of the British Museum,” added Alice as she noticed Rowan was about to say something before closing her mouth again.
“What about Camden? I heard it’s really edgy and there are loads of vintage clothes available that are dirt cheap!” suggested Tonks.
“Camden? I don’t know… Not really the safest area in London,” replied Ben.
“Camden? The British Museum is in the Borough of Camden,” chimed in Rowan.
“Yeah, but I think Tonks meant Camden Town, not the entire borough. The British Museum is in Bloomsbury,” explained Alice. “I think Camden Town would be fun. It would give me a reason to wear the Doc Martens Andre gave me for my birthday. I can’t really see myself walking around Chelsea with them.”
“But I heard there are drug dealers hanging outside the station,” said Ben.
“Ben, they won’t force you to buy anything, if they approach you at all,” reassured Penny, patting his hand.
“Not to mention my pink hair will fit right in,” chimed in Tonks, tousling her hair.
“I don’t know…” said Rowan, rubbing her arm as she looked away, worried.
“Awww, come on, Rowan. There are second-hand bookstalls…” said Alice, wiggling her eyebrows.
Rowan’s eyes lit up at the mention of books. “Really? Why didn’t you say that sooner?”
Alice shrugged before looking at all her friends. “So, what do you guys say? Are you ready for a fun day in Camden Town?”
Everyone slowly turned to look at Ben, who looked defeated. “I guess I don’t have much of a choice…”
“That’s the spirit,” exclaimed Tonks, slapping Ben on the back.
Once they were done eating breakfast, the girls went back to Penny’s room to get ready while Ben headed to the bathroom. Rowan and Ben were the first two ready and they waited for the others in the living room.
“What is taking so long?” asked Ben, looking at his watch. 
“Well, they were styling Alice’s hair into two buns at the top of her head before I came here, and I did hear Tonks say something about makeup, though Alice didn’t seem too keen…” started saying Rowan before being interrupted by a scream coming from Penny’s bedroom.
“YOU SAID TO BE HONEST! STOP HITTING ME!” they heard Tonks shouting.
Penny popped her head in the living room, her hair in a high half ponytail, looking slightly embarrassed. “Won’t be much longer now. Just need to remove the makeup from Alice’s face…” As she walked away, Rowan heard her mumbling under her breath: “Tonks will definitely not become a makeup artist…”
Ten minutes later, the three girls arrived in the living room, all dressed up for Camden. Penny was wearing a denim miniskirt, with an off-the-shoulder neon top, paired with loose leg warmers and white sneakers. Tonks’ look was going for punk. She was wearing a Queens t-shirt, ripped denim shorts, fishnet stockings, and heavy-duty boots. She was also sporting a heavy dose of dark eyeshadow and black eyeliner. As for Alice, she was wearing a Beatles t-shirt, a slightly ripped pair of denim shorts, her Doc Marten boots in which Minnie Mouse socks were peeking out of. She also had a black and blue oversized checked flannel shirt tied around her waist.
“What the… Tonks, are you going to a costume party?” asked Rowan, staring at her friend.
“What? No! I just want to look like someone who hangs out in Camden all the time.”
“You look more like a tourist trying to pass off as a local,” pointed out Alice.
“And you look like a Sloane Ranger trying to pass off as edgy,” retorted Tonks.
“Ok, you two, we don’t need another argument like with Mario and Cluedo. Let’s get a move on, otherwise, we’ll be in Camden next year,” said Penny as she pushed Alice and Tonks toward the door, followed by Rowan and Ben.
They headed toward Highgate Station. As they waited for the tube on the platform, Tonks took out a little mirror from her pocket and started to frown as she looked at her reflection.
“I think I overdid it on the eyeshadow,” said Tonks.
“You think?” replied Penny, raising an eyebrow.
“That’s not the only thing you overdid,” muttered Alice as she handed Tonks a tissue.
“Thanks,” grumbled Tonks, taking the tissue and trying to rub off the eyeshadow. Unfortunately, she handed up looking more like a raccoon than anything else. “Ugh! If only I could use Scourgify!”
“We are not allowed to use magic outside of school. Remember, we have the Trace,” reminded Rowan. 
“More like the Curse if you ask me,” grumbled Tonks as Alice handed her a pair of sunglasses.
“I’m sure there’s a Boots in Camden where we can get our hands on some make-up remover,” said Alice as the train arrived.
“People keep make-up remover in their boots?” asked Tonks, but no one heard her due to the train.
They embarked on the train, and, four stations and some escalators later, found themselves outside Camden Town Station. 
“So… Do I ask some random person wearing boots for some makeup remover?” asked Tonks looking around at the passersby. 
“What? No! Boots is the name of a store! Really, Tonks, do you think Muggles keep various products in their boots,” said Penny, rolling her eyes.
“I don’t know! I literally just saw one take out a little bag of pills from his boots and handing it to someone,” said Tonks, pointing toward a shady looking man near the station’s entrance.
“Eeek! Drug dealer!” exclaimed Ben before running toward the Boots.
“Tonks! Don’t point!” whispered Alice as she pulled Tonks’ arm down. As she glanced behind her, she noticed the strange man staring at them. “Ok. Everyone, just act normal and let’s walk quickly to Boots.”
Once inside Boots, Alice went to buy makeup remover while Penny was busy reassuring Ben and admonishing Tonks for her behaviour.
“It’s not that it’s a particularly dangerous neighbourhood, but please don’t point at people doing strange stuff. They can be quite unpredictable.”
“I knew we should have gone to the British Museum,” grumbled Rowan.
“It would be much safer,” agreed Ben.
“Penny already said it. Camden isn’t dangerous, but, like anywhere else in London, there are some unsavoury characters that are better left unprovoked,” explained Alice as she was putting her wallet back in her bag. “Now, let’s go out and enjoy our day, okay?” she added as she poured some make-up remover on a tissue and started getting the makeup off of Tonks’ eyes.
Once Tonks didn’t look like a raccoon anymore, they made their way toward Camden Market. Rowan and Alice stopped at a secondhand bookstall, while Tonks made a beeline to a vintage clothing store. Penny looked at the various crafts being sold while Ben stayed close to her. Eventually, they all joined up at the store where Tonks was, as she was still busy trying on clothes. The store’s employee seemed vaguely annoyed by all the clothes piling up in front of her fitting room. 
“He’s so gorgeous, I think I’m gonna faint,” whispered Penny to Alice as she looked at the employee with a smile.
“Really?” replied Alice, only briefly glancing at him as she kept looking at clothes flying out of Tonks’ fitting room.
“Too bad there aren’t any guys like that at Hogwarts,” whispered Penny with a gleam in her eyes. 
“That’s because they graduated. That guy is old. He’s probably, like, 20?” said Alice before returning her attention to Tonks. “Tonks! Are you going to choose something or are you trying to try every piece of clothing in the store?”
“Oh! I already picked what I want to buy for myself. Now, I’m trying to find some clothes that will traumatize Andre. His reactions anytime someone wears something he considers unfashionable are priceless!” explained Tonks, popping her head from behind the curtain.
Alice looked at her for a moment, remembering all the times Andre had judged her outfits, including the time he threw the September issue of Vogue at her and it landed on her head. “Take your time.”
With that, Tonks took twenty more minutes of trying on clothes, before making her final selection and buying it. Alice and Penny also convinced Ben to buy a t-shirt that looked good on him and Rowan had gone and bought a bagful of books. They then headed off to eat lunch at a fish and chip shop. 
After lunch, they explored a bit more of the market and walked down Chalk Farm Road. Alice had placed some of the books Rowan had bought in her Boots bag as it was getting a bit heavy for Rowan to carry everything she had bought. Penny kept an eye on Ben who was very far from his comfort zone. The people he saw in Camden were miles away from what he was used to seeing in his town. Hairs of multiple colours, clothes with holes in them, ostentatious makeup, piercings in places other than ears, tattoos. Tonks looked perfectly normal compared to everything he was seeing. To the local crowd of Camden, Tonks did look like a tourist trying to pass off as local, just like Alice had said. As for Alice, Tonks was right. She mostly looked like a well-to-do girl having a slightly rebellious phase. Unfortunately, said phase wasn’t rebellious enough to let Tonks get a tattoo, as Rowan witnessed Alice dragging Tonks out of a tattoo parlour while she waited for Penny outside a vintage store.
“Awww, come on! I would look so cool with a tattoo!” complained Tonks as Alice pulled her out by the collar.
“You are 14, Nymphadora!”
“Don’t call me that! And I’m sure Tulip would approve!”
“Yeah, because little Miss Dungbomb is a paragon of reasonability… Anyway, can’t you make a tattoo appear on yourself with your whole Metamorphmagus abilities?”
Tonks stopped dead in her tracks, staring at Alice, blinking. Alice stared back for a moment before her eyes widened just as a smile was spreading across Tonks’ face.
“Oh no…”
“Thanks, mate! I never thought of that!” exclaimed Tonks, as she stared at her arm and started to concentrate.
“Wait! Not here! Muggles could see you,” whispered Alice between her clenched teeth as she grabbed Tonks forearm and dragged her inside the vintage store where Penny was.
“Please don’t tell me she plans on buying more clothes,” said Penny as she saw Tonks enter.
“No, I had to get her away from prying eyes while she was trying to give herself a tattoo,” said Alice loud enough for the store clerk to hear. She stared at her. She stared back, suddenly realizing how odd it sounded. “With a Sharpie,” added Alice before letting out a nervous laugh.
The clerk just raised an eyebrow before returning to what she was doing. 
“That was a closed one… But how did she get the idea?” whispered Penny.
“Well…” Alice started, looking away.
“Alice…” said Penny, pursing her lips.
“I might have pointed out she didn’t need to go to a tattoo parlour to get a tattoo, her being a Metamorphmagus and all,” whispered Alice.
“Oh, Alice…” started saying Penny, pinching the bridge of her nose, before being interrupted by Tonks who was proudly showing her right wrist.
“Look! I gave myself a tattoo!” she exclaimed, resulting in the store clerk to stare at them again.
“What the… A duck?!” said Alice, too startled to notice the clerk staring.
“Why would you give yourself a duck?” asked Penny, also staring.
“I don’t know… It’s the first thing that came to mind…” grumbled Tonks.
“Woah! You got mad skills with a Sharpie!” exclaimed the store clerk as she looked over Penny’s shoulder.
“GAH!” let out Alice, startled. Merlin, they would be sent to Azkaban for breaking the Statute of Secrecy just because Tonks gave herself a duck tattoo!
“A Sharpie?” asked Tonks, raising an eyebrow.
“Uh. Ummmm… You know, a permanent marker. Sorry, she’s really bad with brand names. Now, Alice, why don’t you take Tonks outside where Rowan is, while I pay for this shirt,” said Penny as she pushed her two friends towards the exit.
“Don’t forget your friend who’s hiding in the fitting room,” said the clerk, pointing at the closed fitting room from which you could see Ben’s sneakers peeking out from under the curtain.
A few moments later, Penny exited the store, holding a small bag as well as Ben’s arm. 
“Ok, I think we can call it a day because I don’t think Ben can last any longer,” said Penny, glancing at Ben’s pale face.
“Sounds good to me,” said Alice, letting out a sigh of relief. Watching over Tonks in the Muggle world could be a handful.
They made their way back to Camden Town Station, where the drug dealer from earlier still was. As they passed him, they all avoided eye contact, except for Tonks, who waved at him, showing off her duck tattoo in the process. Once inside the station, they made their way to the platform but had to stop Ben from getting on a train heading in the wrong direction, as he was in such a hurry to leave Camden, he didn’t notice it was heading toward Edgware instead of High Barnet.
When they finally returned to Penny’s flat, Penny and Alice let themselves fall on the couch, looking tired. As Rowan went to drop her books in the bedroom, and Tonks and Ben settled down with Alice and Penny, Penny’s mother inquired about their day as she was preparing dinner in the kitchen. The two London natives looked at each other before saying: “It was… interesting.”
“I got a duck tattoo!” exclaimed Tonks.
Penny’s father looked up from his newspaper in astonishment, staring straight at the tattoo.
---------
A/N #2: First, here’s Alice’s outfit. Second, I feel like the quality of this fic is a bit of a rollercoaster. There were moments where I would be inspired and then, nothing, but the fic was far from being finished. Writing about wizards in the Muggle world is fun, but that story was coming to me in blurbs and music sequences. Oh, and this takes place in during the summer before their 4th year, hence why Ben is scared of everything.

Spring Anime Watchlist
Ugh, sorry that I’m so late with this, I don’t even have a good excuse, I just wasn’t feeling it. But since I’m super delayed with anime and I’m out of town for the weekend (hopefully I’ll come back bearing exciting news *---*) I decided to leave you with this, my watchlist of the Sprinquel season and how all the new shows are shaping up so far (spoiler: the sequels are great, everything else… ehhhhh). Best to worst, too lazy to number
Uchouten Kazoku 2
Season one of this show didn’t make my all-time top ten for nothing, and if I ever doubted that, this new installment came with the perfect timing to remind us of its whimsical charm and simple yet painfully real family melodrama. The gorgeous, loving rendition of Kyoto, a city I love with all my soul, is just the cherry on top. It’s only four episodes in and there’s already so much drama and character work every episode is a delight. I also think Benten is by far Mamiko Noto’s best performance and she’s such a unique character in the realm of anime I love her as much as I loathe her. I love this show and it’s such an underappreciated gem, go watch it for real
Tumblr media
Shingeki no Bahamut: Virgin Soul
Continuing the trend of absolutely fantastic sequels, Virgin Soul has done a brilliant job in plunging us back into the Bahamut world and the new character dynamics that have changed significantly in the past ten years. Nina is a most excellent protagonist, and I absolutely approve of how getting horny unlocks her dragon transformation. Now I understand why Victor Nikiforov had to pull back from the show, Nina would be stuck in dragon form forever *swoons*. I’m 100% intrigued and super excited to see where this is going. And the animation is fantastic, thanks Cygames for pouring so much money into this gorgeous production.
Tumblr media
Natsume Yuujinchou Roku
I loved season five, but I’m already loving Roku even more. I can’t say why, but there’s something about this season focusing on how Natsume is no longer alone, but is instead surrounded by loving friends and family, and how happy he is for that, and it’s incredibly heartwarming. The episode where Natsume gets aged down to a child was particularly lovely. Of course it would be kind of great if we got some movement in the Natori or Matoba or Reiko plots, but I won’t say I’m getting tired of Natsume’s one-off little heartwarming adventures. This season also looks much better than the previous one, so kudos to Shuka for that.
Tumblr media
Attack on Titan 2
You can almost smell the money on this one. The animation and direction are fantastic, even without original director Aramaki who’s too busy doing his Zombie Train!AU fanfic. I definitely like how they’ve made the tone more horror-like. I’ve already read ahead on the manga so there’s no surprises for me, but I was still gripping the edge of my seat when the Beast Titan spoke. At least the four years of wait look like they’ll be worth it.
Tumblr media
Boku no Hero Academia 2
So the mandatory tournament arc is upon us and it’s honestly really top notch. But you gotta kill all this recap, it’s only been a year, BONES, we’re not stupid. I’ve heard a lot of praise for the upcoming Sports Festival arc and so far it’s delivered (gimme more of Mei and her babies pls), so I’m excited for whatever else is in store for us. And extra kudos for having a female character who’s doing it all for the money and isn’t shamed by it or called greedy or shallow, but is instead praised for her realistic approach. Ochako is best girl and Japanese otaku have literally the worst taste.
Tumblr media
Yowamushi Pedal: NEXT GENERATION
Not much has changed since my Winter Final Impressions. Teshima’s still Best Boy, Kaburagi’s still mildly insufferable and Midosuji is a riot. The Interhigh has started surprisingly fast and I’m all set to see all the melodramatic sports anime deaths that await us. Just give Teshima a trophy, he’s literally the best of all boys.
Tumblr media
Little Witch Academia
The plot seems to have finally kickstarted in this one which is fairly interesting. Though I must say I’m getting a little tired of Akko. She’s just too close to that plucky, ditzy, irredeemably dumb and childish protagonist that I tend to hate coughsailormooncough, sorry, something got stuck in my… keyboard. I’m definitely interested in the inevitable villain reveal for the new tech teacher and her backstory with Chariot, as well as more of Best Girl Sucy. It’s still a fun show and in the upper tier of TRIGGER’s limited portfolio, but it so far still feels eons away from the brilliance of Kill la Kill. Let’s hope they stick the landing.
Tumblr media
Kabukibu
So let’s firstly get the butt animation out of the way. It’s butt. I’d started to regain some faith in DEEN after Rakugo and Sakamoto, but I guess not all shows can get the A team and it’s a shame that a series with interesting stories and pretty character designs gets stuck with the negative zero budget. Although seeing Kuro break into kabuki lines in the middle of a crowded room is giving me way more second-hand embarrassment than I can usually handle, the show is overall harmless and cute, and it has very good discussions of gender stereotypes, particularly in episode two. I think, narratively, they overdid it with the “oh wow, what a coincidence, there are TWO characters in this one school coming from kabuki families” but aside from that, it’s pretty fun.
Tumblr media
Starmyu2
I don’t have a lot to say about this one. It’s still fun, extremely dumb, super forgettable, but equally charming. Everyone’s awfully samefacey and they introduced like a hundred new characters that I can’t keep track of, but we still have people randomly breaking into ridiculous songs, so that’s all good with me
Tumblr media
Oushitsu Kyoushi Heine
This isn’t a great show by any means, but it hits the right notes for me so I’m not even gonna pretend I’m expecting any sort of groundbreaking quality out of it. It’s just pleasantly familiar without being gross and I legit like the deep voice they gave the tiny teacher. (I slept through the last third of episode 2 though and apparently missed on all of Kai’s deal oops he calls everyone ‘good boys’ so we cool)
Tumblr media
Chopping Block
This special section is for shows that I wasn’t intending to watch when the season started, saw a lot of praise for them and decided to check them out, only to not find anything special. I haven’t dropped them and still kinda hope they do something interesting because the concepts could work, but they aren’t giving me any reason to continue watching, so… idek what to do with these lol
Re:Creators
This was nowhere near my radar because of that chuuni otaku title and throwaway LN character designs, but then I heard the premise and read it was from the creator of Black Lagoon and thought it could at least be exciting. It isn’t. There’s so much bloody talking in this show they had to make it interesting by showing us a montage of the characters doing random daily activities (excitement???) while one of them talked nonstop. Like with the others in this section, there’s a good story hiding beneath layers of boredom. They had a strike of brilliance when Selesia is accidentally spoiled of a major development in her novels that she’s not aware of (a spoiler of the ‘your friend betrays you and kills your other friend’ magnitude) and she… doesn’t react at all. God it was so frustrating. It was an incredibly opportunity for drama and reflections on morals, but I guess it was more interesting to gush about how thorough LN authors are when creating their works blablablayaaaawn. The animation in the fight with the magical girl was cool though.
Tumblr media
KADO: The right answer
Let’s start by that horribly obnoxious title. It already seems like it’s gonna be preaching about some morally gray thing that they’re gonna try to make black and white. Not good. The CGI is certainly the best I’ve seen in anime, the cube alone looks excellent. Storywise though.... it’s trapped somewhere between absolute boredom and gratuitous glorification of our Lord and Savior Nippon, the only country with good people, capable of making decisions for the sake of humanity. Guys, I hate the UNitedstates’puppet as much as anyone, but the way the conflict is being presented is so transparently condescending it’s annoying. zaShunnina’s cute though.
Tumblr media
Zero kara Hajimaru Mahou no Shou
Saw someone reccommend it as “if you liked Spice and Wolf.”. Turns out this is 10 times more boring and 10 times more chockfull of icky sex jokes than I ever needed in my Spice and Wolf. Also the animation is butt, episode 4 looked teeeerrible. I think there’s a charming little story somewhere in there, but they have to tone it down with the “hyuk hyuk everyone thinks Zero is banging the tiger man hyuk hyuk” because they kill me. That whole “what is a kiss” scene was just so cringey I wanted to throw the scriptwriter out the window. Puh-lease give me something interesting show. I’m begging here
Tumblr media
 DROPPED
Berserk
Like, I thought I could suffer one more cour of hatewatch, especially since I’m a little ahead on the manga and at least Serpico is a character I enjoy, but having to digest this gross edgy manpain extravaganza with a sprinkle of gratuitous rape at every given opportunity in that godawful CGI is just… ugh. I’m fine experiencing this story just once, thanks.
Tumblr media
Alice to Zouroku
I went into this expecting Usagi Drop or Amaama to  Inazuma cuteness, instead I got weirdass Anime Alice™ with little girls fighting with the power of godawful CGI and some evil scientific organization… thing. The show opens with a big fight scene, and Anime, if you gonna do that you better make it the best fight scene in the history of everything, but it isn’t. The direction is terrible, the colors are muted and even with the girls’ unique powers, it’s incredibly tedious, and the animation it a literal butthole. We have a lot of butt animation this season hey Japan maybe start paying your employees a living salary and not literally overwork them to death…? Just a thought.
Tumblr media
So, like I said, the season’s strong because we have a LOT of magnificent sequels, but the new stuff is just…. Eeeeh. Kabukibu’s the best of the bunch, but it pales in comparison to the big hitters of the season. Oh, and I didn’t even sample SukaSuka because I’ll be caught dead before I touch a thing with such a stupid shorthandle (and the full title is highkey idiotic too), sorry, I’m too old for this level of LN.

I totally get what you mean. While I will give Bandai Namco credit for trying to shift Jump Force's tone in a much different direction compared to all the previous Shonen Jump crossover games, I can't help but feel like they kinda overdid it. I mean, there's nothing wrong with wanting to take a game a bit more seriously than its predecessors, but you've got to make sure you don't go completely overboard with it. Otherwise people are going to think it's laughably edgy. Heck, I was personally hoping to see them include some comedic joke characters like Gintoki, Bo-bobo and Arale in the roster so we could have someone to help lighten up the game's dark mood. But nope, we didn't get a single one. 😅
I think the main problem Jump Force had was taking itself too seriously, when it needed to be more… you know, light hearted.
i dont think you can have a massive shonen jump crossover without humor. It just easily lends itself to humor.
