its so sad how little translated pretty boy detective club content there is like its so intriguing the think of how they handle the concept of growing up. a club where the number one rule is to be boyish in youthful. all the members are in middle school. the leader is a fifth grader whose older brother used to be the club leader. you could make so many peter pan references out of this story if you tried

#fucking devestated the translation team stopped after volume four of the light novels. i shall never love again #pretty boy detective club #bishounen tanteidan #and like. im pretty sure that mayumi's not actually trans but like. oh i bet theres so much symbolism for her in the rest of the series #like ik the 'number one rule is to be a boy' was technically a mistranslation but also that was the fastest ive ever seen an egg crack

what is with this guy whipping out a random Hatsune Miku cross dress on us all bc apparently it would be too suspicious for Mayumi undercover as a guy walking around without a girlfriend on his arm bc she turns out to be such a good looking guy so this dude decided to dress as Hatsune and pretend to be her fake girlfriend out of nowhere

(Mayumi before and after)

Scrap Anime Series Idea Stockpile (Collection 1)

Here's something you might have probably not expected of me - ideas for potential new anime series both in long/continuing and short/near-OVA/ONA (Original Video Animation/Original Net Animation) form!

My question to you, is, which of the following has the most potential that would be deserving to be seen on television or online?

Hash it out in the comments below which ideas jump out at you the most and seem like they'd be fun to see.

1) Gaze Upon the Yandere Minds - In this dark josei/seinen story, Institute 47 gathers up in a massive boarding school environment ladies of the yandere type from all over the world and foist upon them one unlucky young unimpressive everyman of the dandere type whom they take an interest in. The administrators' official policy is stated not to encourage any sort of lethal violence between participants, but secretly revel in their carnage that will soon unfold. Whoever lasts the longest will get to keep the everyman named Akira for herself. Not wanting to be any woman's possession or a tool of the crooked system, Akira takes it upon himself to work through each of the ladies and see what makes them the way they are for good or even for evil. Five of these ladies, also not wanting to be pawns of Institute 47's ways, take it upon themselves to protect Akira and bring down Institute 47's wretched program from the inside.

2) Warrior Princess of the Saitamas - In this dark bishojo/josei isekai story about escaping a broken home and finding your own happily ever after, Princess Katerina of Ruritania was able to find her happily ever after with her Prince Karlos of Jerezon. But after the Undead Armies of Vanth laid waste to the two kingdoms, Katerina took it upon herself to take up a sword and shield to avenge those who have been hurt. Trying to undo Vanth's curse, Katerina is cast out of the past and into the unfamiliar future of 21st Century Saitama, Japan. A place now losing all hope and in need of a true hero to bring a happily ever after, Saitama now has on its hands a heroine looking to bring hope even when all seems lost. Starting small and realizing she has Vanth's magic within her, Katerina frees a young effeminate boy Pao Kagashima from a life of abuse and depression with his intolerant family and they try to make sense of a senseless city.

3) Underground Escape - A spotlight is shone on prostitution, human trafficking and therapy by drugs in this dark josei/seinen story about a young woman and her MTF transgender twin sister who have just been released from jail after a month inside on charges of prostitution. Released from jail and knowing they have to sell their bodies in order to support their family and get their father the drugs he needs in order to manage his trauma and psychoses, Mizuho and Natsuka decide to make a deal with a friend of theirs who is one of the last police officers trying to do actual good. The deal is the two will secretly record any interactions the two may have with certain pimps and madams suspected to be engaged in human trafficking as well as toxic drug movements and report them back to police under code names. The two siblings soon uncover a web of darkness and horror as they move to break the cycles of child poverty.

4) Valkyrie Squadron - In this epic bishojo/bishonen magical girl/boy space opera, the Black Empire of Apophis has returned to wreak havoc upon the nine planets of the Solar System as well as the four primary asteroids which are home to numerous colonies of humans, animals, plants, machines and alien life forms. The four effeminate Spartan princes of the asteroids all must leave their kingdoms to join forces with the Valkyrie princesses across the Solar System to create an elite force through which they can stop the Apophis attacks. Disguised as rather effeminate schoolboys; Spartans Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Vesta soon befriend the girls who in truth are Valkyries Helios (Sun), Hermes (Mercury), Aphrodite (Venus), Gaia (Earth), Artemis (Moon), Ares (Mars), Zeus (Jupiter), Cronus (Saturn), Caelus (Uranus), Poseidon (Neptune) and Hades (Pluto). With the powers of their arsenal, they fight back against Emperor Typhon.

5) Lone Vixen Tamaki - In this dark bishojo/bishonen drama, a troubled young trans girl who was born as Tamaki finds limited refuge from her cruel, terminally unhappy family in her few friends at school. When a Yakuza attack kills her parents and leaves her abusive siblings all in uncertain condition, one of the Yakuza agents takes pity on her and bequeaths her his sword, his gun and the money transferred from a raid on corrupt socialites to a credit card. Taking up the sword and gun to escape her destroyed home, Tamaki steals her father's car to evade the Yakuza and police determined to get her into foster families that worship conversion therapy to destroy and reforge her as the ideal man contrary to what she wants. On her journey over the Japanese islands to try and make enough for a one-way ticket out of Japan for Canada, a series of misadventures happens as she takes time to battle corruption and save new friends.

6) Revolutionary Girl Utena Reborn - In a spiritual continuation of Kunihiko Ikuhara's most groundbreaking masterpiece of shoujo, surrealist romance and magical girl drama as we first follow Anthy Himemaya as she scours the world trying to find the girl prince who truly cared about her in Utena Tenjou. On her journey, she meets a young hurting boy named Zenta who feels lost and alone in wanting the eternity of death to end his pain. Having survived her fall and gone into hiding knowing Akio may return to threaten her and Anthy again some time in the future, Utena while on the run comes across a runaway girl named Zuina trying to rescue her brother from his inner demons. Chased by various crooks and psychos wanting to possess either the kids that are tagging along with them or themselves, Anthy and Utena are on their course to reunion as they hope to break the cycle of death and heartbreak that Eternity uses.

7) Kio Kami: The Impossible Girl - The classic story of Sir James Matthew Barrie's children's novel Peter Pan gets multiple twists in this darkly comic, epic bishojo/bishonen fantasy isekai about a never-aging magical girl with extraordinary powers and a tiny dragonfly friend Gyoza Yukari who travels everywhere with her. Noticing several children including a femboy by the name of Doujin Washi in need of an escape from the horrors and humdrum of our own quite modern world, Kio and Gyoza whisk Doujin and some of his friends away to the vast paradise world of Arcadia. But terrors from both our world and Arcadia soon begin to seep across their frequent passageways - among such is the fierce yet voluptuous lady pirate Captain Quartney Sickle and the crew of her ship the Black Death. Kio and Doujin have to match wits and sword with Sickle to protect Earth, Arcadia and their inhabitants from the latter and all her beasts.

8) Recalling A Higher Ideal - In this alternate history epic drama for adult audiences, it is not Japan that joins the Axis Powers of World War II. Instead, the Axis consists of Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperialist China. With their own sovereignty threatened by Yuan Shikai the Emperor of China, the Japanese imperial princess beseeches her father to renegotiate and or build trade and military alliances with Taiwan, the Southeast Asian countries and the Korean Republic to stand strong against Chinese aggression in the Pacific. In doing so, a Pan-Pacific Alliance is formed and its military fully integrated on gender and racial lines in order to stand tall. As an anthology, we follow the tests the Imperial Japanese Military must undergo if they are to be strong enough to protect and nurture the ideals they fight for even as they join the Allies of America, Great Britain, France and the Soviet Union in battling the forces of tyranny.

9) The Cradles of Civilization - Inspired by disaster films such as The Poseidon Adventure or The Towering Inferno; this riveting disaster thriller for seinen and josei audiences follows the graduating class of a Japanese public high school aboard a vast solid Dyson Sphere built long in the past by Earth colonists around the white dwarf Beta Sirius. But with their star Sirius B now weakening and ready to implode and possibly destroy the Sirius Dyson Sphere, every last student of Yggdrasil Public High School has to gather the survivors of humanity in order for a last-ditch escape into space to begin. Various challenges include profiteering companies now working to undermine relief efforts for their own gain, military and civilians unprepared for a bevy of calamities, and the collapsing Dyson Sphere's natural disasters. Not every soul will be able to escape, but the students of Yggdrasil will try to save the cradles of human civilization.

10) Super Surfboard Cross - In this action-packed yet humorous josei/seinen sports story; as a result of global climate chaos, the World Surfing League (WSL) is established and makes its ultimate move to make the first ever surfboard cross racing events which get the attention of naturalists, scientists and engineers alike to create a sporting experience that will outdo the World Series of Major League Baseball and the Super Bowl of the National Football League in enthusiasm. We follow a group of competitive surfers from all walks of life as they take part in the first World Circuit of Super Surfboard Cross as they all race on many islands in surfing downhill across carefully constructed courses laden with water-bound rails, berms and jumps to perform nigh-improbable tricks and compete for the gold, silver and bronze. But can they come together to foil a psychotic team of corrupt fixers who have their eyes on the victories?

11) God Mars Re: 2999 - In this reboot of the shonen mecha drama from 1981, humanity is part of a galactic civilization in the year 2999. But young Takeru Myoujin AKA. Mars and his few friends discover the former was meant to destroy the Earth that adopted him on orders from the evil Emperor Zuul of the planet Gishin if Zuul is to conquer space. Hoping to stop the evil planet Gishin as well as to save his own life, Takeru and his friends must join the Earth Defense Forces to combine Earth and Gishin technologies to combat the Zuul invasion forces. Whenever Earth is in danger, Takeru (pilot of the robot Gaia) is able to summon the five other secretly created units to combine with Gaia to assemble the titular Six-God Combination God Mars. The five other robots are Sphinx (piloted by Namida Akagi), Uranus (piloted by Naoto Ijuin), Titan (piloted by Rose), Shin (piloted by Mika Hyuuga) and Ra (piloted by Akira Kiso).

12) Song of the Amazons - In this eclectic (both in demographics and genres) story, college-age girls Ayame, Ikumi, Umeko, Erika and Ompu by day form the pop rock band the Amazons wowing swooning fans with power anthems and love ballads to challenge a cutthroat world in which youth and virginity are commodified. By night, however, the Amazons use the magical energy they gained from their audience's enthusiasm as well as five colored diamond rings to generate powered armor out of thin air and become the Amazon Claymores. As the Amazon Claymores, they ride through the mean streets of Tokyo to battle a most fiendish assortment of criminals and monsters with limited assistance from the police. Their battles also can be of a psychological from trying to avoid fame making them entitled and snobby brats by day and by night trying to avoid turning into the absolute monsters threatening all the five fight for.

13) Promise You Won't Forget Me - This dark josei/seinen story opens with the shocking and heartbreaking suicide of one Zenjin Mushou, the classmate and crush of Ichiko Yumori. In her search for answers, Ichiko turns to all the social media presences and materials Zenjin left for her over the 7 CDs he recorded telling why he killed himself including a spherical die through which she is able to venture into the digital worlds and back. Meeting with Zenjin's few online friends and completing the quests he left unfinished, Ichiko pieces together the main reasons for and inciting events leading up to his suicide and the deaths of his social media presences before he could rebuild himself. Both online and in the real world, Ichiko unravels the cultures of abuse, intolerance, assault, and pain that broke her boyfriend's heart. With her friends also getting involved and wanting revenge, Ichiko must remember Zenjin and save someone else.

ive been noticing the rgg fandom is EXCEPTIONALLY talented in fanart, like y'all are making rly good shit over here... and this is just my own observations in my own art since getting into the series, but i believe it comes from a mix of a fanbase that primarily consumed animated media in the past (which taught them to understand exaggeration, stylization, and whimsy) being brought this realistic media (which teaches realism along with differentiating facial features in a way anime doesn't do, especially wrt showing age). ive ofc been in a LOT of anime fanbases before and while there's a lot of creativity and skill there, many anime characters are similar in facial structure just by virtue of the styles of the medium, so it's easy not to push yourself and grow into sfs. on the other hand, ive also been in a few live action fanbases, and ive seen artists there get too caught up in realism and capturing every facet of an actor's appearance that it ends up lacking in stylization and creativity. but the rgg community blends those two outcomes and we end up generating a lot of broadly unique styles that incorporate the semi-realism and variance in features that the source provides, with the skills of creativity in design, color, and style that come from animated media. so we end up portraying these characters in our styles, but with their defining facial features, which ends up just leveling up your art overall and lends itself to better anime fanart and character design as well. not to mention it teaches us how to draw muscles right lmao

#i think i can speak for a good amount of us by admitting that drawing anime bishounen for so long #left me clueless about musculature and fat #and WRINKLES god #but rgg is healing me from this its good #my art has taken a sharp increase in quality since i got into the series!!#AND EVERYONE ELSE HERE IS REALLY REALLY TALENTED TOO.... YALL ARE AMAZING #yakuza series #ryu ga gotoku #sorry if this is world salad btw im just having Thoughts <3 #just put some prints i bought up on my wall and staring at them like Wow...#i love Artists.....

continuing the thought i had when typing out the tags in last reblog, this is honestly one of my biggest gripes with cql: HOLES!!! holes are there. holes that, i guess, invite you to imagine what’s inside them, but it’s more because they don’t know that themselves rather than because that’s what they’re supposed to be. and often they make no sense.

what’s up with xy and my? why is xy looking at my like that? no one knows. what’s up with my killing the nie captain? why is “you deliberately used wen [techniques] to hide that it was you who killed him!” lifted straight from the novel despite the situation being different AND my lifting a sword that could not more clearly be a nie saber? we’re leaving that for the audience to decide~ okay, but do you know it yourself, show? i’m not sure about that. last but not least why does jgy start playing the music in the first place? the show doesn’t give us an answer or even a hint of it, instead making nmj seem much calmer and down-to-earth, omitting his aggressive outbursts and rendering jgy’s murder of him jgy’s own incentive, and zzj’s stiff smiles don’t help at all.

and then you have people who think jgy is a despicable sadistic psychopath with no morals, or a sexy girlboss whose first reaction to everything is murder, good for her. like sure, you still can have a compassionate approach to this character, but you won’t have the full understanding. and as someone who’s read the novel, i don’t really consider cql!jgy my jgy or the real jgy, because again -- he doesn’t have all the tasty meat (bites bites bites what would i give to replace the gotdamn meng shi with the hat scene w/ the brothel scene from anxin’s empathy), and also: processes have happened to him that didn’t happen in the original novel (censorship-driven bevillaining).

and it’s not that cql!jgy is simply different, although in many aspects he is (his time spent serving the nie, his relationship with nhs); in my eyes he’s more like incomplete. and this is what haunts me!

#i think that cql's main mistake is... still trying to keep certain moments or scenes in a setting that makes them impossible #like the spell wwx does in yi city that mobilizes the paper dolls with his blood shouldn't even exist in cql and yet it does! and it has a #whole incantation that sounds mysterious but all it does is... i'm not sure what really because it doesn't give him 'super speed'#because he was already shown to be Super Fast in episode 1? 2? when he zoomed around mzy in the mo residence #and so on and so forth. i do love the series! it introduced me to the whole song n dance and when i read the novel it's the actors that i #imagine and not drawn bishounen! but. yknow #shrimp thoughts
