Adventure Time/Homestuck/Arc-V/RWBY bcause ahaha look at all these characters

[sacrosanctum]

look at me i play from too many canons here--

So Adventure Time is probably the big one everyone's very familiar with, the kind of weird story of Finn the Human and Jake the Dog, two brothers who live in a tree fort in the extremely wtf land of Ooo and do general heroic shenanigans. While it is extremely strange in terms of setting and humour and most other things, it does have long-running plots and a lot of fun characters who get to develop in some interesting ways. Streams can be found on most sites that stream cartoons (I generally use watchcartoononline though it can be a bit slow to update with new eps), and while I wouldn't necessarily advocate not watching the early eps the show particularly hits its stride from about mid-season 2 onwards.

Homestuck I don't doubt most people are familiar with but for all the wrong reasons, because yeeeeah. Anyway, the story itself is really basically about a video game called Sburb that charges its players with making a new universe, with their original home planet generally being destroyed as they enter, and it's log-based conversation so there's a lot of character interaction within the game as each character plays out their unique quest to fill their role in the game. It's a long and extremely confusing read at points, but there are definitely some interesting characters and some very interesting ideas, and the format it's done in makes it pretty engaging with things such as flash videos and games interspersing normal panels. It also finished earlier this year; the whole thing starts here and there's also a log (most recent first so keep that in mind) for finding specific pages and stuff.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V is the most recent spinoff of everyone's favourite nostalgic card game anime, and can be most aptly described as "interdimensional war with card games". Four dimensions (Standard, Fusion, Synchro and Xyz) exist in the world of the show and Fusion intends to unite the world as one through...invasion and subjugation mostly, having already razed Xyz, and the story of trying to repel this invasion runs alongside the protagonist (Yuya) and his attempts to carry on his missing father's style of dueling, which encourages making the audience and all players happy rather than using it for conflict. It has its light moments and dark moments and the Synchro arc drags somewhat, but overall it's very well-written and tightly plotted for a Yu-Gi-Oh series and has a lot of interesting, relateable characters. Most people seem to like Kissanime for streams and various subtitling groups release on Nyaa (ads are often NSFW so watch out for that). Of the sub groups, I'm kind of obliged to advocate for GX_ST since I'm their editor, though we tend to be a bit slow in comparison to the other groups.

RWBY is a web animation with three seasons currently about a world called Remnant which is overrun with monsters known as Grimm. Humans still have four main strongholds on the continents of Atlas, Mistral, Vacuo and Vale, and these continents each have schools to train hunters and huntresses, skilled warriors who fight against Grimm and protect the people at the risk of their own lives. It's very action-packed with awesome fight scenes and has some slice-of-life elements given it's set in a school, and while it hits its stride best in season 2, season 1 is still definitely worth watching. The whole thing, along with bonus materials, is available on Youtube, though new episodes release one week earlier on the Rooster Teeth website.

METAL GEAR??

[saveyourserpent]

Tactical espionage action! Clones! Convoluted storylines! Memes as plot point! A lot of nudity!

All this and more in the Metal Gear series for various video game systems.

It's a stealth game series that's full of some seriously weird shit, some weirdly serious shit, and a hell of a lot of humor. Solid Snake who many might know from that one Super Smash Brothers game comes from here. This incredibly good looking dude, Liquid Snake, also comes from here. These Snakes are brothers.

This looks like a good overview! If you can't play the games I'd recommend finding commentaryless playthroughs/longplays on youtube, but that's just because I don't like commentary when I'm watching my games.

Ask me about stuff if you like!

As for characters I'd like to see in the game? ANY. But especially Psycho Mantis (Liquid needs his buddy) and Solid Snake (BROTHERRRRR).

curse workers

[gitanes]

CANON NAME. Curse Workers trilogy (White Cat, Red Glove, Black Heart)
AUTHOR. Holly Black
MEDIA TYPE. Novel
GENRE. Crime drama, noir, speculative fiction, fantasy, unreliable narrator, romance (but not really)
ONE-SENTENCE SYNOPSIS. The youngest of three brothers, who believes himself an outcast and a murderer, must navigate a world of magical & criminal intrigue in the search for someone to trust (spoilers: trust no one, ever, at all).
WHERE CAN I GET THE THING? Just PM or PP me and I can upload an ebook, OR I have a paperback copy of White Cat if anyone wants it. Super well-timed totally by accident.

SETTING. The series is set in the United States, roughly around the dates of publication (somewhere between 2010 and 2014, ish). Most action takes place in New Jersey, some in NYC. In this universe, the US, and indeed the world as a whole, is divided between normal humans and "curse workers," or magic users, although from a mechanics perspective the "magic" is more analogous to genetic mutation (passed down through the family line) than to a learnable skill. In the United States, workers are criminalized if they use their powers; however, given that the onset of power usage is involuntary, the end result is that all workers are criminals by the time their powers manifest, usually before the age of 10. This has led to an extreme social divide between workers and non-workers, which has in turn led many workers to develop a criminal underclass, controlling organized crime in the States and by extension worldwide. Less prestigious worker families serve the ruling families. The predominant worker family in the Northeast is the Zacharovs, whose assisting family is the Sharpes.

PLOT. It is super hard to summarize even the first part of the first novel without giving a lot away! But the main idea that threads all three books together is that the main character, Cassel Sharpe, is searching for his identity in the midst of a sea of lies, and that he has to navigate the damage he does (both intentionally and unintentionally) in his search for that truth. On a more meta level, it's an exploration of the way he applies his own personal narrative to the people in his life, and how flawed that can be (and usually is). Cassel is a super unreliable narrator, but his prose can be really fun to read for that reason imo! Just never trust him.

CHARACTERS. The story focuses mainly on Cassel and his relationships to other characters, especially his two brothers (Barron and Philip), his mother (Shandra), and his grandfather (Desi). The family is a highly dysfunctional unit, and he doesn't have a particularly healthy relationship with any of them. The main characters outside the family are Lila, his girlfriend-ish (hi!); Anton, Lila's cousin; and Sam and Daneca, Cassel's friends. They are all great characters, but none of them are good people, except Daneca who's the best.

WHAT TO EXPECT. This is technically a young adult series, but it's honestly super heavy. There's a lot of childhood abuse (physical & emotional), brainwashing, memory manipulation/tampering, torture, gore . . . Cassel and Lila also have a highly dysfunctional relationship which can be pretty troubling to read about, especially from Cassel's perspective. However, the narrative's pretty clear regarding how unhealthy it is despite the fact that the POV is so skewed. There is a lot of body horror, and I personally love it, and this is Ryslig, but you know. Just in case: there's your warning.

EXCERPT.
Like a stage magician, the con artist misdirects suspicion. While everyone’s watching for him to pull a rabbit out of a hat, he’s actually sawing a girl in half. You think he’s doing one trick when he’s actually doing another.

You think that I’m dying, but I’m laughing at you.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL

[fandisservice]

If you like any of the following, you might like YGO Zexal:

- FAMILY DRAMA
- EXCELLENT VILLAINS
- PROTAGONIST CHARACTER GROWTH ARCS
- AMNESIA SHENANIGANS
- KILLING OFF EVERY CHARACTER EXCEPT THE PROTAGONIST IN THE LAST SEASON

So, now that I've caught your attention!

Zexal is set in the futuristic pastel-bright city of Heartland! It's a great place to raise a family, with lots of parks, robots that take care of the trash, a city mascot known for his philanthropy! It's also secretly at war with the Astral Dimension, and doing their very damn best to wipe them off the multidimensional map. To these ends they have employed a Numbers Hunter who hunts down people and steals their souls so he can take their cards, employ at least two child soldiers, and the man who created the city one time sacrificed two of his close coworkers to the void to open the way to the Parallel Worlds.

The protagonist knows none of this, but is accompanied by an amnesiac spirit who needs the same cards that the Numbers Hunter is after, so he gets to find out about all of that pretty quickly, and he gets to grow as a person while also trying to convince assholes that murder is not the best way to repair their family.

From there, things continue to escalate.

The OTHER parallel universe that wants to destroy the Astral world takes the stage; first by monster-of-the-week shenanigans, then personal attacks, and eventually causing the apocalypse! These guys are the Barians-- humans who died after a terrible betrayal, were mindfucked, and reborn as amnesiac warriors meant to be used as a quick snack to an elder god in his crusade against the Astral World.

So, there's the plot, such as it is. Filled with betrayal, emotional gut punches, really stupid filler, and great characters!

These characters will get their own comments so this doesn't get any longer-- but quick note about consuming this canon! First, watch the sub. The dub made changes everywhere to things as major as characterization, to minor things like conversations! If you watch the dub and app, the rest of the cast will be very confused.

Zexal is also loaded with front-heavy filler! If you don't want to deal with filler, I will be happy to write a guide up so you don't have to deal. (I also have. A few sitting on hand...)

Sengoku Basara

[nomorekings]

Canon: Sengoku Basara
Medium:: Video game, anime, manga, hilariously terrible live action

Cue T.M.Revolution.
More T.M.Revolution
or
Abingdon Boys School which is really just more T.M.Revolution

This is necessary. It isn't Sengoku Basara without TMR. He kind of thinks he's a character from the games. And then they let him play someone in the anime.

This should set the tone. Because, contrary to the impression you might get from our cast here, this is not serious business historical drama. At its core, Sengoku Basara is Capcom going "Who needs historical accuracy when you can have REALLY AWESOME SHIT?!" Like giant wooden spider robots with flamethrowers in their mouths and deer-themed magical boy detectives and the world's first amusement park devoted to St. Francis Xavier. Basically, it takes a long look at Warring States era Japan, determines what parts might appeal to people's inner 12 year olds, then turns those up to 11.

How to Experience It: The easiest way to get started is to watch the anime. There are two seasons that roughly follow each other, a movie (The Last Party) that kind of follows them, and then a third season (Judge End) that...does whatever it is it was trying to do.

If you want to know how the timeline works (or doesn't), I can try to explain it, but it hurts my head.

If you'd like to play the games, the third game (Sengoku Basara 3: Samurai Heroes) is available in English for Wii and PS3. I would suggest watching the first two seasons of the anime first because they can make up for what you don't get from playing the first two games. The rest of the games are only available in Japanese (we don't speak of the localization of the first game). They're easily playable if you don't understand the language (the gameplay is easy), but you'll probably miss out on the plot if you can't follow the dialogue.

The fourth game, which is what most of us are using as a canon point, is probably the easiest access point, game-wise. There are a lot of translations here and a very comprehensive guide here.

Why You Should Watch/Play It: I know I'm bad at selling it and I've probably confused the crap out of you by now, but I really genuinely love this franchise. It's completely absurd and over the top, which is what makes it genuinely fun to watch and to play. It also has great characters with big, larger-than-life personalities that make them so much fun to RP. I have three other journals besides Katsuie's and I'd have more than that if I didn't force myself to stop. There really is a character for everyone and I will totally find you one if you tell me what you like.

HARRY POTTER SERIES (books, films, play)

[ueteribus]

IN A NUTSHELL:

...it's Harry Potter. Do I really need to...? Okay.

The Harry Potter series is a fantasy work comprised of seven books (with three tie-in 'guide' books, eight movies, and another movie and a play soon to be added to the canon) of somewhat increasing length focusing on the titular boy wizard as he attends a magical boarding school in the United Kingdom and, owing to his status as the Chosen One of prophecy, is soon drawn into an intense battle of good versus evil with the fate of perhaps the world hanging in the balance. The series deals with both coming of age elements as it follows Harry and his friends through the childhood and adolescent years, and standard fantastical elements as the mundane-raised Harry learns increasingly more and more about this hidden but vastly developed magical society. The fantasy level is about moderate: not as 'epic' as Lord of the Rings but much more entrenched and thought-out than the magic elements present in say, Chronicles of Narnia. It's also more urban fantasy than it is high fantasy, technically, since the wizards of Harry's universe are implied to be living in secret alongside a non-magical world exactly like our own.

TELL ME MORE:

There's a reason people on tumblr like to say that Harry Potter fandom is like the mafia: once you're in, you're in for life. Since the beginning of its popularity the series has appealed to everyone of all ages who has ever dreamed of having a bit of magic in their own lives. It has a lot going on under the surface but its also just fun, with characters of all sorts to connect to and a magic to explore that has it's own unique quirky flavor.

The main themes of the series are considered to not only be coming of age but also the power of love and friendship, the nature and reality of death, and the significance and consequence of personal choice. The books are written rather effectively almost entirely from Harry's POV, and as the series goes on it literally grows up and changes with him. Not only do the nature of the plots to each individual novel show darker elements and more complexity as Harry's world is plunged further into chaos and war, emotions become stronger and more significant and characters develop shades of motivation and morality as Harry's mentality and awareness expands.

If you're a movie-only person, there's no bones about it: there's a lot you missed out on. Character backstories, interesting subplots, hinted at secrets and recurring elements. I'm not saying everyone has to read Harry Potter - but if you liked the film franchise, and Harry's world, there is so much more for you waiting in the books, ready to whisk you away off to Platform 9 and 3/4 and begin the magical journey.

HAVE SOME TIDBITS:

If you're a Wiki person, the Harry Potter Wiki is well organized and has compiled information from the books, the movies, the video games, the tie in Chocolate Frog cards, background details in the films (characters with names in the script but never stated, for example), interviews with JKR, other behind the scenes details and Pottermore articles. Spoilers abound, obviously, and beware of Wiki wormhole syndrome, but it's a great resource if you want to brush up on/discover some minor details for canon building.

There are too many 'best of' clips on YouTube to count, but if you've got some time on your hands there's a hour and a half long special put together to celebrate the final film's premiere that counts down 50 of the 'best' moments in canon inter-cut with interviews with actors that played some of the characters and JKR.

APP THIS PLEASE:

Literally anyone but if I had to pick I'd be thrilled to get Draco Malfoy, Severus Snape, Narcissa Malfoy, and/or Bellatrix Lestrange!


Obligatory 'ooo Howarts' gif

Sengoku BASARA

[mights]

So, I'm sure everyone is vaguely familiar with at least one canon which depicts the warring states era of Japan as an entirely different setting in which historical accuracy plays little to almost no part. But what if I told you there was a canon which does that, but also...has robots in it? Well, there's ONE robot but- ok point aside let's talk about Sengoku BASARA!!!!



YEAAAA

BASARA is a series of video games set during Japan's tumultuous times of warlords and generals waging war on one another to take control of territories and ultimately all of Japan! You may have seen some of the anime and the movies, as BASARA has been around for quite awhile and is currently preparing for a new game release!

As of right now Ryslig has five whole Basaras, that's almost double the amount anyone's daily recommended basara intake. There's Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Takenaka Hanbei, Otani Yoshitsugu, Shibata Katsuie and Akechi Mitsuhide.

We would LOVE for other ppl to get into Basara and possibly consider playing from it in the near future! We would particularly love more Toyotomis to complete the hideous, villainous Toyotomi family tree. Those we are currently missing are Ishida Mitsunari (warning for a whooole lot of ANGUISHED SCREAMING AND literal tears of blood poor boy) Shima Sakon (check out his sweet moves isn't he adorable dammit) and EVERYONE ELSE EVER!!!

If you happen to want to know about Ryslig, our canonmates or about BASARA in general, don't hesitate to hit me up on plurk! jikaku HOPE TO SEE OTHER WACKY SAMURAI APP IN SOON...

"LET'S PARTY"

[whiteofcrime]

You know what, I saw the excerpt before anything else and I was sold. But who's really surprised when I play this guy.

But no really, this sounds interesting!

EDIT: ALSO, is it all right if I borrow your header layout while writing the synopsis for mine? ;;;

FAST CARS AND LAWYERS

[aboyandhiscar]

MOTORCITY!!!

OH LOOK, I SEEM TO HAVE AN ENTIRE POST FULL OF LINKS TO VARIOUS EPISODES AND SUMMARIES OF CHARACTERS WOW

OH BOY AND ALSO A POST FULL OF COOL AMVS AND VIDYAS???? WHODATHUNK!!!! One For The Money is my fave tho.


OH LOOK I ALSO HAVE A PLURK FULL OF AMAZING GIFS WOAH

But in short motorcity is a SUPER HIGH ADRENALINE action cartoon from freaking DISNEY of all things. Aside from the amazing animation (a blend of flash and hand drawn, FLASH CAN ACTUALLY DO FREAKING GORGEOUS STUFF, THIS SHOW MADE ME A BELIEVER), the characters are all great. They also tend to be tropes, but with a twist (ex: Mike is the cool leader guy, but also team Mom and a 100% boy scout that is too nice for his own good, there are at least 3 Smart Guy Types on the team, the Girl is not actually a love interest, etc etc)

basically everyone should watch it it's so good. why is it so good. If you're on my plurk you know i'm sad about it like 3 times a month. GONE TOO SOON, MOTORCITY. TOO SOON.

THAT LAWYERS GAME
I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE ACE ATTORNEY TBH. DO YOU LIKE VISUAL NOVELS??? DO LIKE MYSTERIES?? DO YOU LOVE ADORABLE CHARACTERS?? DO YOU LIKE RIDICULOUS DRAMA?????? DO LOVE CROSS EXAMINING A FREAKING PARROT?? THEN BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE A SERIES FOR YOU.

The Original Trilogy stars Phoenix Wright and crew, and is a must play. All three games are solid, endearing, and hilarious, and can be obtained a multitude of ways.

AND THEN THERE'S APOLLO. HERE'S HIS TRAILER.

Apollo makes his debut in AA4: Ace Attorney; Apollo Justice. What sets him apart from Phoenix is that Apollo is 100000000% done with everyone's bullshit 100% of the time. He gets no breaks, everyone picks on him, and he still does his damn job. His game has a few more unresolved plot holes than the other games (THANKS TAKUMI) but is still a great play.

Then in AA5 (Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies), Apollo and Phoenix are in a new game together that somehow makes the game more ridiculous (and dramatic???) than before. I don't think it's as strong as the other games, but still fun, and introduces Athena, the third official lawyer of the agency. SHE IS A DELIGHT.

Anyway, lawyers, good stuff, may come with a side of salt. HAVE SOME STUPID ASS AMVS:

THE HIIMDAISY COMIC SERIES DUB EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE SEEN

CAPTAIN COURTROOM

KANGAROO COURT (SOME SPOILERY ANIMATION)

PHOENIX WRIGHT IS SO NUMB

NOTE HOW THERE ARE NO SERIOUS AMVS

LAWYER FANDOM KNOWS WHAT'S UP

KOZUKI ANNA

[fandisservice]

Kozuki Anna is the best damn filler character in the whole series. She's a girl who:

- Thinks it's appropriate to try and hit the boy she believes to be her lost love with a rocket launcher.
- Has a punch that leaves dents in rocks.
- Instead of entering a tournament, she just knocks out the real participant in the finals, put on a cloak, and takes his place to help out/stalk a friend.
- Is dumb as hell.
- Cannot actually fly her rocket launcher/flying machine and mostly crashes into things instead
- Steals a school uniform to sneak into a couple's duel tournament
- Won't take shit from bullies. (Even if she can be a bully herself)

Things in Anna's way had better get out of the way fast, or she'll run them over! A very peppy, hot-blooded girl, she is unfortunately only a filler character— on the bright side, that means less episodes to watch if you're interested in apping her. She's introduced in ep 29, reappears in ep 52, 92-93, 124-125, and spectates the finale.

[gitanes]

the writing style is SUPER pretty (but also super horrifying at times), it's really great. and also magicians are the best so i feel you tbh. there are more quotes here too, although those are all from cassel's perspective or about him. also if you want i am planning to upload the ebooks in the morning when . . . i am awake :|b

edit YES IT'S FINE jfklsdf sorry i replied too fast. it's just < b >< font face = georgia > etc

[whiteofcrime]

It's cool, I kind of ninja'd that edit oops haha

BUT YEAH, I'd love to get started on the ebooks! And then if I ever find the time to go by a library I'll actually read a physical copy. XD"

Those other quotes are super intriguing too, dayum

RADIANT HISTORIA

[makehistoria]

these screenshots are basically canon. just paraphrased
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SCREW UP TIME TRAVEL A WHOLE LOT???? Because hot damn have I got the game for you

In Radiant Historia you play as Stocke, a rather taciturn spy/assassin/who-even-knows-wtf-kind-of-missions-he-gets-sent-on-half-the-time from a steampunk-magitech nation called Alistel! One day you're out on a simple assignment from your creepy weirdo boss with your two new subordinates... which very quickly goes to hell and everyone dies. Except you. You turn out to have the ability to time travel and you can totally go back and save them! Catch is: the world is dying and it's all gonna be kind of pointless in a few years anyway, unless you mess with that too. Buckle up Stocke buddy you gotta be the protagonist now.

Featuring: a surprisingly heart-rending storyline! Ridiculous bad endings (which you don't get penalized for stumbling on)! Royal family soap operas! Lots of badass and/or adorable characters! A pretty fun battle system that isn't just plain old turn-based! Giant spiders! Egregious amounts of belts! Also, this scene!

(No but seriously in my COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY UNBIASED OPINION this game is really good and would be a lot more popular if it hadn't... come out for DS right before the 3DS was released. RIP. Join our tiny fandom please ;___;)

jojo's bizarre adventure ( i'm doing my goshdarn best )

[digiorno]

CANON NAME. Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
CREATOR. Hirohiko Araki
MEDIA TYPE. Manga (parts 1-8), anime (parts 1-4, 4 still in progress)
GENRE. . . . it really depends on the part you're looking at. It's a shonen quest story with elements of family, legacy, destiny, and nature vs nurture, broadly speaking, but each arc has a different "feel" to it. For example, Part 1 (Phantom Blood) is essentially a gothic supernatural story, while Part 5 (Vento Aureo) is a mafia/crime drama and Part 7 (Steel Ball Run) is a western.
ONE-SENTENCE SYNOPSIS. The story of a young man who turns himself into a vampire to stay out of jail and then tries to kill his adoptive family for a century and a half.
WHERE CAN I GET THE THING? I prefer to watch arcs 1-3 (Phantom Blood, Battle Tendency, Stardust Crusaders) and part 4 (Diamond is Unbreakable) on Crunchyroll as they air! As for the majority of part 4 and parts 5-8, they are available on Batoto, which is genuinely the most poorly-designed website I've seen in a long time but it gets the job done. If navigation gives you trouble, you can probably just hit up any cast members? We've waged this war for years. But me, also.

SETTING. Earth! Basically our Earth, except there are some extras, like: vampires, vampire-created zombies, the ability to punch stuff using the power of the sun, and Stands, which are something along the lines of fighting spirits or souls given form. Very few things are concretely or consistently explained, because this is the canon where the rules are made up and the points don't matter.

PLOT. Given the fact that each arc of JJBA is about a different generation of characters, this can be super hard to summarize, so I'm going to do one-sentence summaries of each arc. Feel free to ask me or someone else in the know to elaborate!

• ONE: PHANTOM BLOOD. Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando are introduced, Dio is a terrible person, Dio ruins everything because of spite and ambition, and nobody has a good time.


• TWO: BATTLE TENDENCY. Jonathan's grandson Joseph gets reluctantly dragged into a war with some ancient gods (kind of) and spends a lot of time yelling in Italy.


• THREE: STARDUST CRUSADERS. Joseph's grandson Jotaro has to fight a mysterious antagonist who we have definitely never seen before in an effort to save his mom from being eaten alive by her own Stand.


• FOUR: DIAMOND IS UNBREAKABLE. Josuke Higashikata, the most awkwardly conceived Joestar to date, tries to protect his sleepy town from a paraphiliac serial killer.


• FIVE: VENTO AUREO. Giorno Giovanna, the Diospawn, vows to take over the Neapolitan mafia in an effort to reform his society, cementing his status as smallest and most dubious Jojos protag yet.


• SIX: STONE OCEAN. Jolyne thinks her dad is the worst, ends up in prison, prison doesn't go well, there is a priest there for some reason and he is such an asshole.


• SEVEN: STEEL BALL RUN. [Spoilers], Americana, a cross-country horse race for $$$, the president is terrifying, Diego Brando is a dinosaur.


• EIGHT: JOJOLION. Tarma has to explain this one.

CHARACTERS. Honestly, with a few exceptions, the ten bajillion characters in this series are all super great. If I had my personal fondest wishes, anyone from Passione/part 5 in general would be cool if someone wanted to app them, but I'm not a picky person. Other people in the cast should list preferences though!! Also on behalf of Rachel, bring us an Okuyasu.

TRON

[fandisservice]

Tron is a life-ruiner and shitpost incarnate. He:

- Plays video games while his son basically hires mercenaries and puts a hit on a kid.
- Watches like eight cartoons at once
- Is a menace to the structural integrity of hotel rooms.
- Gives his sons powers that will put them in a coma when they lose.
- Gives his son the power to end the world if he's going to lose a match.
- Eats memories
- Also cake
- Celebrated his resurrection by giving his sons numbers instead of names.

While once upon a time Tron was a loving father and scientist, being sacrificed to the void gave him a new perspective on life. Now his acts are fueled solely by vengeance and shitposting, and is the worst combination possible of the mastermind and deranged small child.

He's also IV's dad, which I think explains a lot about IV. Someone please app him, goddamn. Shitpost on the network, order IV around, never be satisfied with his performance as he does more and more ridiculous and desperate things to try and please him, and shove cake into the void in his face instead of his mouth. If you're interested, he is largely from the first half of Zexal, and makes his first appearance at the start of the second season, on episode 26. He's one of the main villain players and appears often until Zexal hits Zexal II.

Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's

[ridingstardust]

POSTS TO OWN MEME HOURS LATER

In the near future, the world has advanced. Technology has advanced leaps and bounds and a source of infinite clean energy has been found. Sound great? It is! Well, for the most part.

The biggest, most happening city in Japan (and most likely the world) is Neo Domino City. It's an absolutely massive, sprawling metropolis on the coast and enjoys immense prosperity. Most of the city, anyway. Just a few miles off the coast is a small island called Satellite. Technically a part of the city, Satellite looks downright post apocalyptic, covered in dilapidated buildings, ruined storefronts, and barely standing signs of a once happy locale. Satellite is used as Neo Domino's garbage disposal: the city's trash is sent there to be processed by Satellite's inhabitants, who are shunned by the rest of the population, forbidden to leave the tiny island wasteland, and kept there by the police.

Welcome to the world of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's.

5D's is the third Yu-Gi-Oh! series, and touches upon themes such as classism, prejudice, the benefits and dangers of technology, and more. Evil zombie cults that serve evil gods who are literally the Nazca Lines are involved. Featuring murder, ritual sacrifice, terrorism, toxic relationships, police brutality, dragons, and $30 cups of coffee!

And card games. On motorcycles. It has those too. Sweet sweet motorcycles.

The entire series is available for streaming on Crunchyroll and also features a manga that is 100% completely and totally different.

Akaya Akashiya Ayakashino

[twomeals]

Do you like stories about friendship? Stories full of drama and tragedy and a hearty helping of cute family fluff? Stories heavily peppered with a whole lot of traditional Japanese ayakashi/mononoke/Shinto stuff! Well lucky for you, the manga for this series just came out in English under the name Of the Red, the Light, and the Ayakashi which is actually harder for me to remember than the original title, but.

Anyway! Akaaka is a visual novel(-turned-manga) about a lone orphan(?) kid raised by ayakashi in a perfectly normal modern-day town that also happens to be separated from the rest of human society like the bath house from Spirited Away. He sneaks out one day, discovers he really wants to try making Real Live Friends, and then gets told he has to make one of these friends into a "Meal." Because humans are food and friends! According to the ayakashi. They don't explain what the Meal actually is until the end, but. Yue goes out on this quest! He goes out and he makes friends and you get to watch his very first beautiful friendship bloom like a beautiful camellia flower! And then possibly fall like a camellia flower, because the game has like 15 endings! Coincidentally, camellias are a popular recurring theme.

Umm I'm really bad at advertising but the first 14 chapters of the manga are scanlated online, the first two volumes i think? are on sale in English, and I translated the entire PC visual novel because I'm lost to the Akaaka void.

Characters I would absolutely love to see in this game (besides all of them) include The Mom Friend! The Stalker! The Brother!(?) This Guy! Or one of the mystery background spoiler characters, they'd be great too.

I can actually give thorough explanations of absolutely anything you want if you ask, I'm not so great at writing advertisements and things but. Here's the game's opening! For a taste of the overall feel of it.

Someone's weapon is a robot modeled off the head of St. Francis Xavier that shoots missiles from its eyes. Just saying.

ALIT

[fandisservice]

Alit is a warrior of the Barian world, and hotblooded Latin Lover stereotype. He:

- Is canonically bisexual, fantasizes about the protag and heroine as angels.
- Spends his intro ep hitting on people.
- Also hitting people.
- Orders a milkshake in a bar. (This is not a subtitle error)
- Trains in the mountains for cardgames.
- Makes good faces while viciously evil. Very good.
-Wears a vampire cape.
- His last words are something like telling the protagonist he's hot.
- One of the more tragic backstories like goddamn I'm not even going to spoil that shit.

Please let him be resurrected by an evil god and turned into a monster AGAIN. I'm sure he'll love that. Being a Barian, he's a character from the second half. If you're interested in Alit, but not Zexal overall, start with Zexal II to get to him faster.
