Best Underrated Anime Group D Round 4: 91 Days vs Karneval

#D1: 91 Days

Prohibition era Mafia revenge story

#D4: Karneval

Two kids join in hunting monsters and uncovering secrets

Details and poll under the cut!

#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.

#D4: Karneval

Summary:

While in search of his precious friend, a young boy named Nai falls captive to a beautiful woman, whose looks are matched only by her taste for human flesh. Meanwhile Gareki, a clever thief, is in the midst of robbing her luxurious home. After causing a distraction, Gareki agrees to help Nai escape, but they are discovered upon the woman's return. As she transforms into a ghoulish monster, the boys flee.

On the run, Nai and Gareki are found by “Circus,” a government defense agency that deals with criminal activity too difficult for the police to handle and protects civilians from “varuga”—terrible monsters that devour humans for sustenance. In the hope that it will lead Nai to his missing friend, he and Gareki decide to join Circus. On their perilous journey, they face dangerous varuga and begin to uncover the secrets behind a shadowy organization known as Kafka.

Propaganda:

Karneval has two of the best protagonists I’ve ever seen. Gareki is superior to every other teenage boy protagonist in anime. His character arc, even in this one season that covers just a fraction of the manga, is so well-developed. I like that his arc is an emotionally driven coming-of-age and not a power fantasy.

Along with the main characters, Karneval has fantastic characters across the board. There is not a single supporting character I don't love (even the ones who annoy me). None of the female characters are reduced to love interests and are all unique and interesting, which can be hard to find sometimes in anime.

It is made by a female writer, which is always great to see, and for people who aren't really interested in romance, the anime is extremely friendship and found family driven. The found family aspect is really at the forefront of the series as Circus is not a glorified group and they don't get to have families which makes the bond between members so important.

The tone balance is amazing. In one episode, you can go on an emotional journey from laughing to crying in seconds. The plot is engaging with wild reveals and compelling mysteries to follow. The fantastical world is unique with the contrast of the dark monsters in a bright and colorful world. If you watch it in Japanese, the voice cast is so good and the soundtrack is also really good.

TL;DR it’s an interesting story with amazing characters to whom you will get attached.

Pairing: Gareki X afab!Reader

Synopsis: On this Valentine's Day, a certain group of people decided to hang out at a carnival. Despite not wanting to, Gareki couldn't say no to his girlfriend, could he?

Word Count: 1,057

[Name] is happy with the holiday, it is Valentine's. Her friend, Yogi, invited her to celebrate Valentine's day in a carnival together with her other friends. [Name], Nai, Tsukumo, Gareki and Yogi went to the carnival together after they ate breakfast. They were fascinated to see the whole carnival in heart decoration, well, everyone except for [Name]'s boyfriend, Gareki.

"Are you sure that we're going to celebrate Valentine's day here? It has too much heart decor, it's awful." The ravenette said in disgust as his brows twitched in annoyance, staring at the over-decorated carnival.

"Don't be like that Gareki, it's Valentine's day, after all. Right, Yogi?" Nai told the male then turned at the blonde prince who nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, Nai's right. Aren't we here to have some fun?" The [h/l] [h/c]-haired girl placed her hands on her hips.

"Fine, just don't force me to try the rides or drag me somewhere. Cause you know I hate this place!" Gareki 'tch-ed' then crossed his arms.

"Okay! That should do. Let's go there, everyone. That looks fun!" Yogi cheered as he pointed at a game stall that has Nyanperrona as their prize.

"Really?" Gareki sweat-dropped.

"Yay!" Nai also cheered as the three walked to the stall.

Gareki sighed then looked at his girlfriend right beside him. "Aren't you going as well?"

"Nah! I won't leave my boyfriend behind." She giggled. Gareki blushed slightly and averted his eyes away.

"O-okay then, let's go..." The ravenette grabbed err hand then walked towards the group. [name] can't help but giggle at his cuteness.

[Name] and Gareki finally caught up with the rest of their friends. They were playing a shooting game, and by the looks of it, Yogi is bad at shooting. Nai even tried but ended up empty handed. She can't help but giggle at how much they sulk after failing at it.

"Oh come on! You two can't even knock out a single can!" Gareki sighed then grabbed the gun out of Yogi's hands. In a swift movement, he knocked out all of the cans in the pyramid.

"Woah!" [Name], Nai and Yogi awed.

"Here." a yellow cat plush toy was shoved in front of her face, she looked up to see Gareki holding it out for her.

"Thanks, Gareki. I appreciated it," she accepted the gift then hugged the toy.

Gareki smiled at his girlfriend being happy. They moved on to another stall. This time, they went to a claw game named Valentine's Bunny. Knowing that her favorite pet is the prize of that game, the [h/c]-haired girl dragged her friends towards it.

"Nai-kun, you try first," Yogi pushed a coin inside the machine as Nai controlled the claw. He is near the opening when the lavender bunny fell down, leaving him empty-handed again.

"Don't worry, Nai. It's your first try after all," you reassured the boy who seemed down after his failure.

After Nai, Yogi tried to win the bunny 3 times in a row but failed miserably. Tsukumo tried 2 times and she won one yellow plush bunny and a white one. She gave them to the blonde and albino as they cheered for having a plushie. This time, it's [Name]'s turn. She inserted a coin and begin concentrating, she moved the claw then it stops and picked up a [f/c] plush bunny, successfully, they claw grabbed the bunny and going up once again. Herr hope was high when she know she will be winning her prize. But when it finally return back up, the claw shook and the bunny fell back down. [e/c] orbs went wide after seeing that she didn't win her prize.

"Hey, you alright?" Gareki asked as he noticed her eyes glued to the bunny inside the machine.

She gritted her teeth then slammed the machine on its side, before cursing the claw with such venom in her voice. Everyone, including Yogi, Nai, Tsukumo and Gareki were dumbstruck. Her anger paralyzed their body as they had all the eyes on her, sweat appeared on Yogi and Gareki's temple.

"Damn!" she hissed before pulling away from the machine.

Gareki waited a few moment before taking his place in front of the claw. He looked back at her, coin ready in his hand. "I'll win the bunny you want."

"Really?" her [e/c] hues lit up, her previous tantrum gone.

"Sure."

"But be aware, that damn crane is such a cheater." she warned, crossing her arms, the Nyanperrona plushie in her arms.

"Okay."

Gareki had his focus on the claw as he moved it across the other side to pick up the [f/c] bunny that [Name] loved so much. Once the claw is aligned with the plushie, he waited for it to steady before dropping it down. The claw successfully grabbed ahold of the bunny, and as it reached the top, it shook, but the plush didn't fell. [Name] felt happiness surged inside of her as the bunny come out, Gareki took the plush and gave it to her.

"Here."

"Oh! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much, Gareki!" the [h/c]-haired girl squealed then took the plush from the ravenette's hands. She placed it over her chest and squeezed it tighted, hugging her favorite bunny. "I love so much!" she took a quick peek on her boyfriend's lips before returning on her hug session.

The male's face flared red after the kiss. Yogi, Nai and Tsukumo watched from a safe 3 feet distance at their cuteness and romance.

Just finished Karneval, and keeping in touch with my basic bitch tendencies, my favorite character is Yogi lol

[naiboimuhinyi]

As someone who is the real life version of a character, I think it’s super silly when people make untrue assumptions of me. 😂 Like WHOS an UwU Baby??? I be so lost..

Or they want me to look exactly like my source. Like Oml get over it. Fashion is cool and I’m not going to NOT participate in it just because one style fits my show’s cannon better. I willl however wear any outfits I see made for me. I love seeing Nai inspired outfits omg!! It makes me feels so special. I wish I could just hug everyone who makes them!

Best Underrated Anime Group D Round 2: #D6 vs #D4

#D6: Villainess dating game isekai

#D4: Two kids join in hunting monsters and uncovering secrets

Details and poll under the cut!

#D6: My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom! (Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta…)

Summary:

Most people would prefer being the protagonist of a world full of adventure, be it in a game or in another world. But, unfortunately, a certain girl is not so lucky. Regaining the memories of her past life, she realizes that she was reborn in the world of Fortune Lover—one of the games she used to play.

Unfortunately, the character she was reincarnated into—Catarina Claes—is the game's main antagonist, who faces utter doom in every ending. Using her extensive knowledge of the game, she takes it upon herself to escape from the chains of this accursed destiny.

However, this will not be an easy feat, especially since she needs to be cautious as to not set off death flags that may speed up the impending doom she is trying to avoid. Even so, to make a change that will affect the lives of everyone around her, she strives—not as the heroine—but as the villainess.

Propaganda:

This show is so much fun. The protagonist is a lovable girl himbo, who is completely oblivious to everyone around falling in love with her. It’s a bit of a harem anime, but with equal opportunities: the girls are just as enamored with the main character as the guys are. The increasingly dumber ways in which she thinks she’s going to meet her doom (she is supposed to be the villain of the story, after all) are a delight to behold.

Trigger Warnings: Incest, Rape/Non-Con. The main character gets assaulted like two or three times, but it’s not graphic. One of these instances, where a kiss is forced on her, is by her adoptive brother, who is also her cousin, who is one of her main love interests.

#D4: Karneval

Summary:

While in search of his precious friend, a young boy named Nai falls captive to a beautiful woman, whose looks are matched only by her taste for human flesh.
