Autistic Anime Girls Group 1 Round 2 Match 10

SUBMISSION PROPAGANDA:

Ayumu -

"I talked about her character as a whole in my previous propaganda which got used for round 1, so let me just give some specific examples this time around. Apologies for anything that's more ADHD than autistic, but she definitely has both.

- Got so caught up thinking about how people in Osaka versus people in Tokyo cross the street (as it relates to crosswalks) that she missed crossing the street entirely.

- Had a joke she wanted to tell, but only gave the line that set up the punchline, and was disappointed when her classmates failed to provide the punchline she had thought up.

- Will daydream vivid bizarre scenarios because of some offhand comment made by someone else in passing.

- When she visits a friend's house and a kotatsu is set up, she comments how easy it would be to fall asleep there. Then, despite having just arrived and having other things they were going to do, she promptly decides to actually lay down and sleep there. (Failing to understand or abide by expected social norms.)

- When she gets a phrase in her mind, she is prone to repeating at length (possibly as a vocal stim?). For example "get it together" (got so caught up in saying this to herself to try to do better this school year that she completely missed what her teacher was saying) and "one life, one meeting" (a saying she doesn't entirely understand, but nonetheless ends up shouting out in public with another friend until she gets distracted).

In conclusion, we should all get it together and vote for Osaka."

Mako -

"Mako barrels through boundaries and social norms with her signature high energy cheerfulness and optimism. A girl is nice to her for once instead of bullying her? New best friend, immediately ride or die, invites her to move in that night. Launches herself in a flying hug at every greeting. She makes connections and comparisons between things that other characters interpret as unflattering or bizarre, but to Mako they make perfect sense. About once an episode, she cheers the main character on in a passionate but nearly nonsensical pep talk. Over time the main character learns to parse Mako's unique logic, and by the end understands her better than anyone. She's always honest, even about things that are unflattering or even incriminating. Assumes others are too, even when it gets her into trouble. She has a very consistent habit of eating and sleeping in class, which means she does poorly in school. School punishments for this behavior do not stop her. She doesn't blame the teachers or students who punish her for nonconformity, but that doesn't mean she ever shies away from being her authentic self. She just rolls with the punches. The narrative framing implies that while Mako is definitely an oddball, that's something to admire. The story is all about the ways teenagers cope with coming of age into an actively hostile world, and Mako's story is about finding the people who accept her for her oddball self."

Today’s character of the day is: Ayumu Kasuga aka Osaka from Azumanga Daioh 

[greetings-inferiors]

I love Osaka so much, she’s such a dumbass, the most loveable idiot, literally every second she’s on screen is hysterical, I bet she doesn’t even remember her real name because everyone just calls her Osaka all the time, or, even better, she thinks they’re all referring to someone else because she’s not called Osaka (I know this isn’t true but the idea is so funny to me)

I really need to sit down and watch all of all manga daioh, I’ve only watched a few episodes here and there

The scene where Osaka acts like a serial killer is the most I’ve laughed at an anime
