I can’t watch romcoms cuz I’m always like why don’t they just be a poly -w- anyway here’s Kazuki protecting his babygirls 

[discocandles]

i wanna talk about romantic killer and how impactful anzu is. the narrative has a theme with anzu having more impact than she seems to notice.

Before the show even starts, Anzu's been impactful. It could be blamed on the long-time crush, but Junta's a big case of this. Anzu bluntly told him he'd likely be good at baseball, so he tried it and she was right. One observation led him into a lot of his friends, and possibly his future career, but Anzu's oblivious to it. I think she noticed her impact with Saki, but in anzu's mind, there was nothing else to do. Someone hurt her friend and she was going to stand up for her so Saki wouldn't have to keep dealing with that.

Tsukasa is an interesting case in regard to anzu's impact. It's basically camouflaged until Kishi shows up. Anzu saw him blaming himself, after all, that's what most people did the first time. But anzu hits him with the most amazing line about wishing she could've been there to believe him then. and in the moment before he tells Kishi off, we see how much that impacted him.

the impact to Hijiri is the most obvious. Like we hear from Tsuchiya that Anzu's rejection led him to try seeing from a "commoner's point of view". Which helped him not simply rely on his status and wealth, aka influencing his life for the better. So anzu's far more aware of this, but she seems so shocked about it im more sure she doesn't notice her impact.

and then there's Riri. I think it's kinda a 2-way street, as these two changed each other for the better simultaneously. Anzu by calling out how Riri's lack of understanding humans would only hurt them, and Riri calling out how Anzu only caring about her greatest desires was isolating her(specifically from romance but it was hurting her friendships too). anzu's impact on riri shows more in their actions, like staying in human form more and trying to act like a human would. and those attempts build into them caring about anzu beyond just their job, esp in the last couple of episodes. Riri's barely in potato form and breaks the rules 3 different times for anzu, things the riri from episode 1 would've never done, lest they get a pay cut.

In conclusion, anzu is that friend who apropos nothing says the most insightful thing that will stick with you for years, but totally forgot about it right after.

I wasnt the only one who immediately thought and accepted too absurdly fast that Riri had just fucking killed that stalker girl right

Horror fan S/O likes scaring others

[ Romantic Killer ]

I may or may not was inspired by Horrorpedia to write this-- and a little for Hu Tao... ANYWAYS! I had fun doing this, idk it was silly and cute and fun! Well, I hope you like it as much as I did <3

Anzu Hoshino

Despite not being too interested in romance Anzu's feelings for you are sincere, she wouldn't dare to play with your feelings so at the end you two just grow to have a comfortable relationship between both, being not only partners but also best friends!

Anzu is completely obsessed over videogames and even cats and she doesn't even try to hide it, so for you two to be together you have to accept her just the way she is just like she will do it for you too. The fact that you like so much horror doesn’t bother her in the slighest, she respects if and support you on what you like!

Anzu isn't specially interested in horror but will not mind hearing you rant about it or even heard some spooky stories you know, even if she feels slighly nervous and even afraid she will simply laugh at it and playfuly complain about how you just wanted to scare her in purpose, but she doesn't really mind much since for being in a relasionship there is some level of comfort in your presence so she knows that is all innocent fun

Anzu wants to show her support to you she not only heard your stories but also offer to make you company and even play horror games with you, thats way she would convine something you like with something she likes, its a win win! However she gets nervous and scared when playing, being a little messy during the gameplay but at least both have fun

Aside from that Anzu doesn't really like much when you try to scare her because most of the time is effective, she doesn't have a big reaction (unless it has to be with bugs) but still, if is only a story she may be willing to hear it but she doesn't like getting too invested or even be pranked so she just end up asking you yo stop and suggest doing other things that won't scare her as much

Even so, she is actually supportive when you want to scare others, she can see how happy it makes you and as long as you don't go as far as actually bother others and ignore the other's limits and bounduries she sees it as pure fun, she even end up seeing the fun on doing it!

She isn't embarrassed about your tendency to scare others in the slighest so she is openly telling others whenever they ask that if they want to heard a good horror story you know quite some! Also, she may don't remember everything you told her about the stuff you like but some times there are things that it remind her of the stories you have told her or even she finds things that you may like and she always makes sure to take picture and text you about it

Junta Hayami

Despite being quite shy Junta is really loving, he loves seeing you happy and will love to be the one who brings a smile to your lips! He isn't someone who judge, he used to be made fun of for who he was so he would never dare to do something like that to anyone else, let alone the person he loves!

Junta doesn't love horror and scary stuff as much as you do but he is supportive over you! If thats what you like who is he to tell you to don't be yourself? (besides, he is too weak to your smile to tell you no on anything)

If you usually have anything related to creppy stuff or even your favorite stories in your clothes or even accesories he doesn't really mind it much, he won't be ashame or embarrassed if you use it when going out, he actually he things you look adorable wearing anything related to what you like

Junta isn't a big fan of horror but since he knows you like it he started to put more attention to it, if somehow he finds anything that you could like while being outside or even heard about any new story, movie or even a videogames he will take a mental note to be able to tell you once you two see each other again (he doesn't normally remember all the details because he doesn't like when it is too grotesque but he tries)

Also, as much as Junta doesn't like the stories he actually puts a lot of attention to them, even when that end up making him even more scared, it never goes to the point of bringing him nightmares but it does make him a little anxious whenever he finds something that reminds him to one of the latest stories you told him

Junta isn't exactly easy to scare but he can get really scared by certain things or even get so invested in a story that he start to feel chills down his spine, he doesn't get into scary stuff on his own but he is unable to say not to you so most of the time he end up falling right into your pranks or easily get invested in the stories you like to tell, no matter how much he expressed to dislike being scared or how he every time ask you to please don't do it again he always falls in it all over again, but at the end he is just happy to see you happy, as long as you laugh with him and not at him then is fine and it makes being scare all worthy

Junta is stuck between wanting to stop you and wanting to see you having so much fun, he just can't stop you so at the end he just stand up for you whenever you end up scaring others, ofering an apology in your behalf and sometimes even helps you make it up when the other person doesn't react in a good way

As long as you don't truly hurt anyone and mean to have fun with others instead of just causing pain Junta will totally support you and just endure the scary stuff you like so much

Tsukasa Kazuki

Tsukasa has a lot of troubles to let his guard down around anyone, making it incredibly dificult for him to be in a relationship but not imposible, and when he does he slowly grows more comfortable and more affectionate, but from most part he prefers to show love and care indoors, still too anxious outside

Tsukasa isn't really going to judge you for something like your likings, he loves you for who you are so complaining for something like something you like wouldn't be fair, even if he doesn't really get whats the fun on something that is suppoused to make you feel fear he simply let you be and most of the time don't say anything

Since he isn't too interested on it he just doesn't ask you anything about it but will end up accepting to make you company if you want to watch a movie or play a horror videogame, or even to heard any story you will want to tell him but he does it after some insistance and will be quite uncomfortable during it, Tsukasa isn't easy to scare but for the theme of the horror stories there is a chance that he end up getting triggered about his traumatic past experience (wich is what he wants to avoid)

Thats the same reason why he hates whenever you try to scare him, there are things that can trigger him and lead him to have a panic attack and he doesn't not only to avoid that yo happen but also doesn't want you to look at him in that state, he doesn't know if he is ready to talk about it after all, but if you pick the hints (or even after he finally told you about it) you purposely decide to avoid talking or giving deeper details about things that could make him uncomfortable then he would be more at easy and let you give a try to scare him (wich almost never happen but he is happy that you are being considerate with him)

Just as he doesn't really get why you like so much stuff that are suppoused cause you fear and anxiety he doesn't get why you like so much scaring others, he have thought for a while about it but he simply doesn’t get it, even so isn't going to stop you unless you are going too far, as long as is simple and innofensive fun like telling scary stories or small pranks to others is fine (and he simply either look at you from afar or hear your ranting about how much fun you had), but he definetly will call you out if you are stepping on others limits and even starting to be more offensive or even to the point of harrasment, he will not let you just make others uncomfortable for the sake of your joy and will have a serious talk with you

Overall he doesn't understand your liking but it is supportive over it! Tsukasa doesn't enjoy it much but just let you be and, honestly, deep down he is so happy to seeing you so being freely happy and enjoy what you want

Hijiri Koganei

Loving someone with sincerity is quite new for Hijiri and he doesn't really know how to not be blunt, if there is something in his mind he just say it without much care (as long as it isn't embarrasing), and thats also expressed in his way to express love

When he got to know how much you love horror and scary stuff he imediatly calls you childish and weird for liking that stuff but thats just his first impression and don't even thought much in his words before saying it, at the end he will be supportive no matter what but will show it in a not so indirectly way

Hijiri doesn’t understand why you like so much this weird stuff and constantly say it but no matter what he says he is always there hearing your ranting and even buying you stuff that you like (he doesn't really understand much but he tries to remember what you like to find gifts for you, but he will not admit it)

You have to even beg if you want him to company to anything slighly scary, no matter if is only you telling him a story, a movie or even a haunted house it will take too much insistance and making him run out of patience for you to finally convince him because he doesn't really like any of that stuff, he will never accept it but he is easy to scare, although he isn't too obvious with it

Hijiri easily feels anxious and uncomfortable with the suspense and specially with grotesque visuals and yet to keep his reactions at the minimum, shifting his position a little, making a face or even clearing his throat, he is too prideful to admit it and when he find out how much you like scaring others he tries even harder to hide his reactions, he is not going to let you have the satisfaction of his reaction, and if you push enough to try to get a reaction he will get at the defensive and even become angry (wich never last too long but always demands an apology from your part)

When it comes to others he doesn't care much, if you end up scaring the others he would just be relief that you aren't trying to scare him anymore and, at first, he didn't cared at all but with time he would grow a little curious for two reasons, one is that you are having a lot of fun and the second is that this little hobby of yours is taking your attention away from him, wich he doesn't like much, will just lead him to pay a little more attention to your pranks and story tellings

With time Hijiri will start to see how funny it actually is scaring others, he wouldn't do it himself but he is more willing to see you try to scare them or simply heard you talk about your latests pranks (besides, seeing you so happy makes it all worthy). He isn't going to make you apologize to others but if it end up bringing you troubles he will actually step in and try to help you solve the problem, but still without actually offering an apology

romantic killer request from @dark-chocolate-fudge-sweetracer!!

another incorrect quote they made!

[briardoll]

Okay so I know the poll isn’t over yet and I’ll still write about whichever one wins but I love romantic killer so I’m going to write about it here

☆〜（ゝ。∂）

My headcannons for romantic killer

• Tsukasa brings home little cat trinkets for Anzu when he goes shopping, he put them in her room for her without saying he bought anything.

•Hijiri is a really bad singer but he thinks he’s great because no one has ever told him otherwise for fear of losing their job.

•Makoto has period products that he carries with him for his female friends if they need them, he’s never grossed out by any of it because of all his sisters.

•Hijiri’s crush on Anzu was at first sight. When She got in the car he liked her immediately, that’s a reason why he was so willing to work to win her over.

•Saki gets on average 5-7 love confessions a day, sometimes from guys who have already asked her out!

•Junta is a master at sleeping in loud or uncomfortable situations since his younger siblings come and sleep in his bed when they have nightmares.

*We’re so twin like that, I have a billion younger siblings too, (four) so falling asleep in an uncomfortable position is second nature*

•Saki once had her brother beat up a creepy older guy who was following her around, it was witnessed by others and nobody ever followed or creeped on her again.

•Anzu needs white noise to sleep at night but Tsukasa can’t stand it. It’s always a battle about who will get their way that night.

•Anzu likes the weirdest food combos, like dipping her veggies in barbecue sauce, or adding cinnamon to her soup at dinner, it’s appalling to see her eat it to everyone around her.

•Junta likes pistachio ice cream, and Anzu makes fun of it and says he’s like an old man.

•Riri is constantly having to have their wand sanitized because Anzu keeps throwing it into contaminants for casting annoying spells.

•Makoto wears perfume instead of cologne because it smells better to him

•Makoto had really girly things as a kid because they were hand me downs from his sisters

•Hijiri is a germaphobe. Once Junta sneezed around him and he stayed home from school for a week because he needed to “quarantine” himself.

Completed watching Romantic killer anime and it's sooooo wholesome and cute and different🥹❤️

WHY IS THERE NOT A SEASON 2

Fr though, it tackles simple and complex things, and I just love Hoshino's personality sooooo much.

She's simply kind, and helpful, and it's just really warm.

And the male characters and their own traits, it's really sweet

Kazuki's portrayal and his anxiety, his trauma, his catharsis and the way Hoshino was there for him. Also, consent, so much about consent. Even if it was a hug.

Junta's personality, him not being jealous but rather being like, 'it was bound to happen, she's just that amazing'. It was just really sweet. Man's just so adorable and kind.

The wizard, Riri aka Roro. Sweet, warm, helpful, and was a tad annoying at first but in the end I'm just happy he's back❤️

Hijiri, it was nice to see him blend w people and realise what tsuchiya wanted him to realise.

Also Saki and Makoto, idc if anything happens or not, but that particular moment was sweet and I hope they become good friends/anything romantic is fine too because Makoto is🫶 (for my girl Saki)

That asshole senior of Saki annoyed the fuck out of me. I see such things and it genuinely annoys me. Because he was being kind and stuff at first and then pulled off such shit and had the audacity to then tell people some made up story. Had the audacity to do that. AND fucker even met her at the festival and said all those things. Fucking creeps.

I also feel so sad and frustrated about the way Kazuki might have felt. Him clutching his mouth, the portrayal of anxiety and being scared, it hits hard. And his father not being on his side when he needed the support. I love Arisa though. But the way they depicted his trauma, and showed us the things he felt, the way he hesitated to help someone because of what happened. Also the part where she(the stalker) had bugged their house and sneaked in and drugged him, I cannot fucking imagine how scary that is. That affirmation from Anzu and that hug which he so needed, felt so warm and right.

The best thing about this anime is, that Anzu never wanted to be forced into love, it also went against stereotypes, but kinda like stereotypes but reversed which was really funny and warm. She never wanted to pursue romance and avoided things that might cause it because she didn't want a forced romantic thing, but she was always kind and warm to people around her, she looked at them as people and she became a person who does the basic which is needed, which is being simply kind and understanding towards others. She was an understanding person, catering to boundaries, and helping people out and listening to them, and simply just spending time with them. Platonic love, at its best. She loved spending time with them and considered them all her friends and never backed down on standing up for them.

And for that, i have so much respect.

I loved this anime so much.

I was sad to not see a season 2

Any suggestions for similar anime is welcome
