Best Underrated Anime Group A Round 4: Charlotte vs Servamp

#A1: Charlotte

Teens with special powers seek & protect other unique teens

#A4: Servamp

Immortal vampires with daddy issues and family drama

Details and poll under the cut!

#A1: Charlotte

Summary:

Yuu Otosaka has the ability take over a person’s mind and body for five seconds at a time, allowing him to cheat his way to the top of his class and enter a prestigious high school, where he continues his dishonest acts. His shenanigans are eventually stopped by Nao Tomori, the headstrong student council president from Hoshinoumi Academy, who sees through his deceit. Through coercion, Nao convinces Yuu to transfer to Hoshinoumi and join the student council.

With Yuu begrudgingly assisting in council affairs, the group sets out to find and protect new ability users from harm. However, as they further investigate the abilities, their findings entangle them in far more complicated matters than they could ever imagine.

Propaganda:

I would encourage anyone who enjoys shows that make you think to check this one out! Due to things revealed near the end of the series, a second watch-through is well worth it to see the clues towards the ending and foreshadowing along the way. Consequential drawbacks for these special powers are included throughout the series. Plot-twists keep the audience hooked through it all. There is character growth as the main character changes and as hard choices come up later. It does take you on an emotional roller coaster from light-hearted humor to hitting you right in the feels. (I totally did not watch this anime just because my favorite voice actor is in it lol)

Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Child Death, Emotional Abuse, Flashing Lights, Gender Identity/Sexuality Discrimination, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Rape/Non-Con, Torture, Mutilation.

The non-con warning is for female characters unwillingly having their underwear publicly exposed.

#A4: Servamp

Summary:

A normal 15-year-old boy named Mahiru Shirota, who likes to keep things ‘simple’ and uncomplicated, finds a black kitten in an alleyway and decides to take him home. He names the cat Kuro. Mahiru later discovers that Kuro is actually a Servamp (a servant vampire), and that by giving him a name he has formed a contract with him. This results in him getting dragged into a war between the other vampires and a vampire-hunting organization called C3.

Propaganda:

Servamp deals with intergenerational trauma and how wars don’t always have a clear-cut good/bad guy. The main antagonist Tsubaki, the Servamp of melancholy, and his subclasses (people he turned into vampires) seem reluctant at times to fight/hurt Mahiru unless they feel like it is necessary, and they all clearly care about each other (evil found family). Tsubaki even seems to have a bit of a bleeding heart considering how often he brings in new people even if they aren’t good at fighting. But that doesn’t change the fact that he is willing to let the world burn to achieve his goals as long as his people aren’t hurt in the process.

Then you have C3, the vampire-hunting organization. They view themselves as protectors of humanity and are willing to do anything to defeat Tsubaki, even kidnapping Mahiru to try and convince him to work with them under threat of death.

Then you have how the different Servamps deal with immortality. You have Lily, the Servamp of lust, who takes in and raises kids who are abandoned or abused. If any of the kids died before he could save them, he turns them into his subclasses instead. Then, there is Kuro, the Servamp of sloth. He doesn’t have any subclasses because you can’t know if someone want to be immortal, and it is cruel to force that upon someone. And finally, Lawless, who, for some reason, has started to kill his eves (the people he forms a contract with) once he gets bored with them.

The anime also has some absolutely beautiful animation and music. Plus, all the characters are well written and fun. (Fun fact: the person who sings the opening “Deal With” also voices Tsubaki.)

Trigger Warnings: Child Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Graphic Depictions of Cruelty/Violence/Gore, Suicide

appearance description :: think of the most fabulous person you’ve ever seen. got them in your mind? good. now imagine them ten times hotter and more extreme in their fashion choice, and boom: you’ve got jackie! she will wear just about anything so long as he can style it. glittery cowboy boots? sure! a rainbow feather boa? why not! a wig that reaches the floor? you can bet your buttocks she would! billie is rather tall, standing at about six feet (and then some!!) which is only exaggerated by the fact that his favorite footwear is heels. hell, during pride, you might even see shim with neon everywhere and light-up heart glasses! jace takes dressing up as a challenge: she won’t settle for anything less than superb.

personality description :: juno is and always will be unapologetically shimself. she is loud and proud and ready to bring the house down for all the queer people who don’t feel safe enough to be out yet. she speaks loudly, exaggerates shir hand motions, has a deep laugh and always seems to be ‘in’ on the gossip. wanna know a secret about xyz? now you can, thanks to beckham’s superb social skills! jagger loves being the center of attention and having all eyes on shir. what kind of rockstar fades into the shadows? a bad one, that’s who! london will make people pay attention and be her friend whether they know it yet or not.

roles :: buffer, disabler (speech), trauma holder, pseudo gatekeeper

species :: human

gender identity ::, nullgender / gendervoid

orientation :: aromantic, aegosexual

source :: brainmade

aesthetic :: punk, post-punk, alternative

appearance description :: nobody really knows why, but arlo tends to talk in the third person when referring to itself in front of others. it doesn’t like the concept of gender much. this is obvious by looking at how it dresses: skirts on top of pants, long jackets with floppy arms, tight fitting tops with loose bottoms, heels with fishnets under jorts. harlow spits in the face of gender norms one day at a time — and harley doesn’t even have to speak to do it. merlo prevents other people from seeing its eyes for a reason: it has coloboma, a condition that’s gotten it a lot of hate in the past.

personality description :: they don’t talk much, but oh boy, when they do? you best believe they’re spitting straight facts. lee is quiet, tending to stay out of the limelight. charlie remembers a time when it tried to be the center of attention… everything that came from it was horrible. weird managers, gross “challenges”, unwanted advances — it’s painful to think about, even more so if a memory gets triggered. harley is lucky to have their bandmates: juno goes out of shir way to keep harley safe and dress down any assholes who threaten their safety, while knox talks harley out of ones shell.

likes :: drumming its sticks on random objects, watching the world go by, listening to music, not having to say anything, being out of the spotlight, comfortable clothes, quiet rooms, talking to knox, hanging out with its bandmates, pita bread with hummus

roles :: comforter, soother, battery, spoon generator, crafter

species :: plain ol’ human

gender identity :: maleflux

orientation :: heteroflexible, greyromantic

source :: brainmade

aesthetic :: darksynth, goth punk

appearance description :: rowan has darker skin in the headspace, with longer hair that is normally done in dreads. he doesn’t have to think too much about his dreads or maintain them, so it’s easier this way. dallas is almost always wearing hxs fishnet arm pieces with brackets jangling off of hxs wrists. hx opts for loose tanks and jeans, sometimes with a beanie, as they’re comfortable enough without making hxm overhead. in winter, mav is constantly in sweaters: most are plain, but hx has some truly horrendous ones for the holidays season.

personality description :: social anxiety? who’s she?? kenji doesn’t know her. hy’s so chill about everything that it’s hard to imagine hym ever being mad. its true: knox rarely, if ever, gets truly upset over something. that’s just the life of a headmate whose purpose is to relax and chill. if he does get upset, hy refuses to say anything or get upset over it, instead letting juno give the other party what for. hx is a soft fella with a large heart, open to listening to other people’s troubles and offer gentle solutions. he’s more of a passive force, and doesn’t actively take steps to make changes.

likes :: his guitar, strumming chords, coming up with new lyrics for songs, heavy bass, guitar songs in general, chilling with his pals, pepperoni pizza and soda, fried foods, and having a good ol’ jam session with the gang, sitting on the roof of his garage to watch the sun set

dislikes :: having responsibilities beyond the band, dead-end jobs (ie: anything that isn’t music), getting his flow interrupted, large dogs, having neighbors (they’re always complaining, sheesh), being told to turn it down, consistent disregard for his emotions and feelings, thinking about the future

front triggers :: playing or listening to the guitar, making art (usually music), sleepy afternoons, the smell of roasting coffee, chill environments

signoff :: 🎸, ☕️, or 🍫

My redemption 👑🩵💙🌌🎢

Jada: Hey guys. I forgot to tell you this and how I got my redemption. You see. Last year on Halloween when I was in high school I was having a really awesome day on Halloween and I was hanging out with my BFF, Jasmine (Julie). We we're hanging out and talking the usual. And everything took a dark turn. I found out that she's moving into a another school and my world shattered. We got into a huge argument and she makes my emotions worse and worse. And she couldn't deal with my crew of Kings Island Resistance. I was crying too, hard. And she left me like for nothing. My body turned black, gray, and white when I got home. Because I can't do this anymore. Because people keeps taking everything that I loved and my friends gone. And things started to change. After, my BFF left school and I went home. My heart was broken. And I started banging my head and scratching myself. And I grew my wings and started flying in the sky. And I knew that my wings and my whole body started to fade. My wings are gone and began to fall. I keep falling, falling, and falling. And I landed into the Royal Fountain. And I lost my powers and I couldn't do anything. And the bad part that happened and I was drowning in the royal fountain. The reason why I was drowning in the Royal Fountain, because I was about to kill myself. Because of all this bad shit happens. And I started faded away and my heart fades away as well. The rest of my crew were worried and upset. And they thought that I was dead. But, that's not all that happened. The roller coasters and holiday events came to life (Diamondback, Mystic Timbers, The Beast, Orion, Banshee, Halloween Haunt, and WinterFest). The roller coasters and holiday creatures saved my life from this bad incident that happened they brought me back to life and they gave me new powers from the roller coasters and the holiday events. And I rise up as the powerful Queen of Kings Island and became the protector of the park. So, you see. That's how I got my redemption, because I'm protecting Kings Island and I don't want anybody getting near it, and I care about the roller coasters because they saved me and brought me back to life. Because, Kings Island is important and means a lot to me. And I started creating more memories of my friends and my family.

Essential Guide to Photocopier Maintenance: Tips for Longevity

Photocopiers play a crucial role in the daily operations of many businesses, helping to streamline communication and documentation processes. However, like any machine, they require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance and longevity. Below are some practical tips for maintaining your photocopier, enhancing its efficiency and reducing downtime.

1. Regular Cleaning

Exterior Cleaning: Dust and debris can accumulate on the exterior of your photocopier. Use a soft cloth and a mild cleaning solution to wipe down the surface regularly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.

Interior Cleaning: Regularly check the interior components, including the paper trays and rollers. Use a lint-free cloth to remove dust and paper particles, which can cause paper jams.

Glass Surface: The glass scanner surface is prone to fingerprints and smudges. Clean it with a glass cleaner and a soft cloth to ensure clear scanning and copying.

2. Routine Checks of Consumables

Toner Levels: Regularly check toner levels to avoid running out during important tasks. Replace toner cartridges as needed to ensure consistent print quality.

Drum Unit: The drum unit transfers the image onto the paper. Depending on the model, it may need replacement every few thousand copies. Monitor its condition to avoid print quality issues.

Paper Quality: Use the correct type and size of paper for your copier. High-quality paper reduces the risk of jams and enhances the final output.

3. Monitor Performance

Track Usage: Keep a record of copier usage, including the number of copies made each month. This data helps you understand wear and tear and predict maintenance needs.

Watch for Errors: Pay attention to error messages on the display panel. Addressing issues promptly can prevent more significant problems later on.

4. Software and Firmware Updates

Regular Updates: Just like any other technology, photocopiers may require software updates. Check with your manufacturer for the latest firmware updates to improve functionality and security.

Network Security: If your copier is networked, ensure that it is secure from unauthorized access. Regularly update passwords and consider changing them periodically.

5. Professional Servicing

Schedule Regular Maintenance: In addition to your routine checks, arrange for professional maintenance at least once a year. Technicians can perform more in-depth servicing that ensures all components are functioning correctly.

Address Repairs Promptly: If you notice any unusual noises or performance issues, have them assessed by a professional immediately. Early intervention can prevent further damage and costly repairs.

6. Educate Your Staff

Training Sessions: Provide training for your employees on the correct usage of the photocopier. Understanding how to use the machine properly can reduce wear and tear.

Usage Guidelines: Create a set of guidelines for staff to follow, including how to avoid paper jams and the importance of using the correct paper type.

7. Environment Considerations

Placement: Ensure your photocopier is placed in a clean, dry area with good ventilation. Excessive heat or humidity can affect performance.

Electrical Stability: Use a surge protector to guard against electrical surges that could damage the copier.

Conclusion

Proper maintenance of your photocopier not only enhances its performance but also extends its lifespan. By following these essential tips, you can minimize downtime, improve print quality, and reduce overall operating costs. Regular cleaning, monitoring, and professional servicing, along with educating your staff, are key to keeping your photocopier in top shape. Implement these practices today to ensure your business runs smoothly and efficiently.

How to Handle What Dogs Leave in Your Carpet

Dogs bring joy, companionship, and sometimes, a mess to your home—especially when it comes to carpets. From muddy paws to accidents, dealing with what your dog leaves behind can be frustrating. Here’s how to handle common dog-related carpet issues and keep your home clean and fresh.

1. Muddy Paws After a walk or outdoor play, dogs often track mud and dirt into the house. To minimize the mess, keep a towel and pet-safe wipes by the door to clean your dog’s paws before they come inside. If mud does get on your carpet, wait for it to dry before vacuuming. This will prevent spreading the dirt further. Once the dirt is removed, use a carpet cleaner to treat any stains.

2. Pet Hair Pet hair can embed itself deep into carpet fibers, making it difficult to remove. Regular vacuuming with a pet-specific vacuum cleaner is the best way to manage pet hair. You can also use a rubber broom or lint roller for areas that need extra attention.

3. Pet Odors

Dogs can leave behind lingering odors, especially if they have accidents on the carpet. To neutralize pet odors, sprinkle baking soda over the affected areas and let it sit for 15-30 minutes before vacuuming. If the odor persists, consider using a pet-specific carpet deodorizer or schedule a professional cleaning.

4. Urine Stains and Accidents Accidents happen, but the key is to act fast. Blot the area with a clean cloth to soak up as much liquid as possible—don’t rub. After blotting, use an enzyme-based cleaner designed for pet urine to break down the proteins and eliminate the odor. Avoid using ammonia-based cleaners, as they can encourage your dog to mark the same spot again.

5. Prevent Future Accidents If your dog is prone to accidents, consider using a pet-friendly carpet protector or area rugs in high-traffic areas. Consistent training and regular bathroom breaks can also help reduce the frequency of accidents indoors.

By being proactive and using the right cleaning techniques, you can handle what your dog leaves behind and keep your carpets looking and smelling fresh. Contact Us  Phone:0477657695 Email:amazingcarpetcleaningservices@gmail.com

The benefits of using a Wood Protector

Wood is a timeless material cherished for its natural beauty and versatility. From decks and fences to furniture and siding, wood enhances the aesthetic appeal of both indoor and outdoor spaces. However, exposure to the elements can take a toll on wood, leading to deterioration, discoloration, and decay. This is where wood protectors come into play, offering a shield against environmental damage while preserving the wood's integrity and beauty. In this exploration, we delve into the benefits of using a wood protector, spotlighting Cutek Extreme (CD50) as a prime example.

1. Enhanced Durability:

One of the primary benefits of using a wood protector like Cutek Extreme (CD50) is its ability to enhance the durability of wood structures. Formulated with advanced technology, it penetrates deep into the wood fibres, creating a protective barrier against moisture, UV rays, mould, mildew, and fungal decay. By fortifying the wood from within, it prolongs its lifespan, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and costly repairs.

2. Long-lasting Protection:

Unlike surface coatings that sit on top of the wood and eventually wear off, it bonds with the wood at a molecular level, providing long-lasting protection from the inside out. Once applied, it continues to protect the wood for years, even in harsh weather conditions. This sustained protection ensures that your wood surfaces remain vibrant, structurally sound, and resistant to deterioration over time.

3. Preserved Aesthetics:

Wood is prized for its natural beauty, with each species exhibiting unique grains, colours, and textures. However, exposure to sunlight and moisture can cause wood to fade, grey, or develop unsightly stains. Cutek Extreme (CD50) is designed to maintain the natural aesthetics of wood, enriching its appearance while safeguarding it against discoloration. Whether you have a deck, pergola, or siding, it enhances the visual appeal of wood, allowing its innate beauty to shine through.

4. Easy Application:

Another advantage of Cutek Extreme is its ease of application. Unlike some wood protectors that require multiple coats or complicated application techniques, it can be applied with a brush, roller, or sprayer in a single coat. Its low viscosity formula allows for effortless penetration into the wood, ensuring comprehensive coverage and uniform protection. Whether you're a seasoned DIY enthusiast or a professional contractor, applying it is a straightforward process that yields impressive results.

5. Environmentally Friendly:

In an era where sustainability is paramount, Cutek Extreme stands out as an environmentally friendly wood protector. It is formulated with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), minimizing its impact on air quality and environmental health. Additionally, it is biodegradable, ensuring that it poses no harm to the ecosystem once it reaches the end of its lifecycle.

In conclusion, the benefits of using a wood protector like Cutek Extreme (CD50) extend far beyond surface-level protection. From enhanced durability and long-lasting protection to preserved aesthetics and ease of application, it offers a comprehensive solution to safeguard and beautify wood surfaces. By investing in a high-quality wood protector, you can enjoy the timeless allure of wood while ensuring its longevity for generations to come.

In today's fast-paced world, massage chairs have emerged as sanctuaries of relaxation and pain relief for many. But like all prized possessions, they come with concerns—chiefly, how long will they last and how can they be maintained? With two decades of expertise in content creation and deep knowledge of LLMs, I present a comprehensive overview to address these concerns for both consumers and retailers.

Factors Affecting Massage Chair Lifespan:

1. Manufacturing Quality: As with most products, the longevity of a massage chair largely hinges on its build quality. Brands like Osaki and Human Touch, for example, are renowned for their rigorous manufacturing standards, translating to longer-lasting chairs.

2. Frequency of Use: A massage chair deployed in a busy spa will show signs of wear much quicker than one used sparingly at home.

3. Component Quality: High-quality motors, rollers, and airbags not only provide a superior massage experience but also tend to have a longer lifespan.

4. Technological Components: Chairs with intricate technologies and features might have a more complex internal structure. If not well-engineered, these features can become a liability.

Maintenance: The Key to Longevity

Routine care and maintenance can drastically prolong a chair's life. Here are some practices to swear by:

Regular Cleaning: Upholstery, especially leather, needs routine cleaning to prevent deterioration.

Periodic Technical Checkups: Ensuring the motor, rollers, and electronic systems are functioning optimally can prevent major breakdowns.

Stay Within Weight Limits: Every chair has a maximum weight capacity—adhering to it is vital.

What to Expect: Brands and Models

Research from a 2020 industry report highlighted some revealing stats:

High-End Models: Brands like Infinity and Luraco often boast a lifespan of 10+ years with proper care.

Mid-Range Models: Chairs from brands like Kahuna and Relaxon typically last between 6-9 years.

Economical Models: These can provide 3-5 years of service, but often lack the durability of their pricier counterparts.

Potential Pitfalls: Issues that Affect Lifespan

Wear and Tear: The most common issue, especially with frequently used chairs. Over time, the upholstery can wear out, and moving parts can become less responsive.

Electrical Failures: Power surges or wiring issues can lead to system failures. Always use reliable power sources and consider surge protectors.

Ensuring a Long, Relaxing Journey: Tips for Longevity

Positioning: Keep your chair away from direct sunlight and moisture. This can extend the life of the upholstery and protect electronic components.

Follow Manufacturer Guidelines: Always adhere to the usage and care guidelines provided in the user manual.

Seek Professional Repairs: If issues arise, always opt for professional repairs over DIY fixes. This ensures the problem is correctly addressed without risking further complications.

Conclusion

A massage chair is a substantial investment in one's well-being. By understanding what impacts its lifespan and following best practices, owners can ensure years, if not decades, of unparalleled relaxation. Armed with this knowledge, both consumers and retailers can make informed choices, ensuring every massage session is as therapeutic as the first.
