LMFAOO THE DIFFERENCE

[emcacolville]

worldbuilding ramble

i guess this is the best place for it, so i would like to do a little talkytalk about some aspects of the world building that i find interesting that i've taken time to flesh out. (if ur new here, i'm em, i'm writing a comic called Miko's Midnight Meowsterpieces that i'm soon to be publishing on webtoon.)

re: magic and herbology

in this world, magic is dying out. it is so rarely practised anymore, that magical artefacts are worth a fortune, and most wizards keep their abilities to themselves, since magic users are so hard to come by, and every wizard's personal Well of Power* is limited. the limit is very difficult to breach during the lifetime of a wizard, unless they were to extend their lifespan, in which case, let's say their power lasts 100 years, if used fairly sparingly.

power is not something that can be diluted when passed down through families, or from teacher to student. each person who comes into that power, has their own personal source that they call to. so in way, its more like their well of power is unlocked when they are Cloaked* or born. so, in the grand scheme of things, technically, anyone could become a wizard, but also, not *just* anyone.

there are legends of wizards that had unlimited wells of power, but only because they bent the rules surrounding use of magic, like how there are some loopholes with genie powers, and you technically could summon more magic power with magic. this is very much frowned upon, but also, wizards like this don't exist anywhere in the immediate vicinity of Miko's world, save a few references by other characters here and there.

dependant on the size/strength of the spell, enchantment, curse, or magic-imbued potion/item, different amounts of power are used. power is inquantifiable, but for the reader's sake, you can think of it as MP*. we could say that a sleep aid potion would take 1MP to imbue with magic, whereas a transformation curse that affects an entire bloodline would use 500MP. it is impossible for anyone, excluding the magic user themself, to determine exactly how much power they have left, which is why, for the fun of mystery, i won't tell you how much power each wizard starts with >:)

also, i'll leave some examples of how much power different spells/imbuements/curses could take, so you can get a better idea of things:

an enchantment on a living creature that means they can fly at will. effective until death of target or removed - 150MP

an imbuement on an artist's easel that means the easel can shrink to a portable size, and expand at will. effective until intentional destruction of magical item - 35MP

a transformation spell that turns a cat into a donkey. effective until removed, or until target falls asleep - 5MP

but in the world Miko walks, wizards are hard to find, and most are in hiding because they don't want to be extorted for their power. in its place, however, herbology is on the rise.

herbology is a popular profession, and some believe it to be the "new magic". the issue is, however: herbology can be practised by anyone, and magic can only be used by those who have either have been Cloaked, or are born into a magic-using family.

due to the lack of magic in the world, some herbologists have even gone as far as to scam people, and pretend that their wares have been magically imbued, where in actual fact, they're just some strange concoction of ingredients that kind of do the job.

in a way, herbology is more complex than magic. there is still an element of gathering specific ingredients for a potion in both lines of work, but magic potions are more focused on the magic side of things. the only ingredients they need to add are to form the base of the potion, and the actual imbuement is what gives it real power. in herbology, sourcing those ingredients is the most important part, as those ingredients are what give it power.

for example, a creativity elixir. sounds simple enough? a magic user would only need to form the base of the potion (with drinkable ingredients), and then imbue it with the magical effects they want it to have. in this case, it would be the effect of simply making them feel more inspired, and wanting to create artwork.

but if we're talking about a herbologists creativity elixir, not only would they need to source ingredients to form the base of the potion, they've got to find ingredients to produce the same or simlar effects, and add them to the mix. a herbologist could use ingredients like stinky cheese, chamomile, and valerian, and it would create a potion that would put you to sleep, and give you very vivid dreams. the kind of vivid dreams that could potentially inspire an artist?

one more thing about herbology and magic: there are wizards that have willingly used their power to imbue crop fields, seeds, or even entire forests/natural regions, and this has created magic ingredients. this was a way that some wizards found to share their power with common people, who would otherwise not have access to magic. it was a very generous use of their power, as this would have taken immense amounts of MP, but there were wizards, that once upon a time, thought it more important to be able to share their power to be used for good, rather than keep it all to themselves. some of these ingredients can be used in herbology to make powerful concoctions, - good and bad- but like all magic items, they either come at a high price, or are extremely hard to find.

if you've made it this far, thank you! and keep eyes peeled for Miko's Midnight Meowsterpieces when its out :3

*glossary: - Cloaked: to be deemed as a magic user in a rite performed by dying wizards - Well of Power: a wizards personal supply of magic power within themselves. - MP: a term commonly used in fantasy RPG videogames, referring to Mana Points. - spell: short term magic, effective until target falls asleep, or in the case of summoning spells, lasts until the spell-caster stops concentrating on it. it is not possible to use any other kind of magic whilst focusing on a summoning spell. if performed on a target, it is always removed when target falls asleep, and the spell-caster can use other kinds of magic after this. - enchantment: long term magic, effective until the caster removes it, or death of the target. generally costs more MP than spells do. in the case of summoning enchantments, the longer it lasts, and the more powerful the summon, the more MP it costs. if performed on a person, it is only an enchantment if it is either for the obvious betterment of a target and/or with their consent. in the case of targets who cannot communicate, like creatures that aren't already enchanted to speak, it only has to be for their betterment. - curse: also long term magic, and basically just like enchantments, but against consent, and most often with negative impact. curses are to enchantments the same way nightmares are to dreams. - imbuement: the process of making an item magical, or creating magic potions. effective until potion is drank, or the other ingredients in the potion have expired, or the magical item is destroyed.

Characters are usually tagged with their full name in Japanese organisation, for example, karasu tabito. Some characters, i forgot their last name, so they will be just listed as their first, for example, gepard. Any and all triggers will be tagged as tw trigger for example, tw dubcon. please block any that may bother you as I interact with a lot of dark content.

[sincere-gecko]

Rumors and talky talk are just that and they have no real truth of the matter or the full picture. Misunderstandings go with the same lines too I suppose. You can never hear or see everything either no matter who someone is I suppose.

+ date 

she was super pretty 

I think she had a good time?? she seemed to enjoy herself 

we talked about burning man (she is interested in going, but she is doing three weeks in tanzania for kilimanjaro in june.  getting her into dead hand path would be a major win; she would be the buffest person there)

we talked about credit card churning (she gets as many credit cards without annual fees as she can; she was trying to meet spend on a new Hilton card) 

she seemed to be sizing me up in Partner way?  which would.. not work out.  like.  she’s hot and she’s SO COOL and I’m so into her for all the outdoor things and the rock climbing and ice wall climbing and flying airplanes and giant travel excursions and gym and being buff and hot and liking things that are good 

but the entire other half of me is missing.  like.. the talkytalk part.  the thinking about things past a really basic level part.  

i’m not sure if i did a great job at ending the date?  like i never know WTF to do at the end!  I think she might have been up for doing something else afterward if I had like... known what to do other than try not to let it go on awkwardly forever like I did for my first dates

Bummer Anime 2018 Part 2: shoujo to the rescue

It got better, mostly because it could hardly get worse. That doesn’t mean it was a smooth ride, of course. I would like to state, for the record, that I’m not trying to be the funny guy who hates everything here; the season’s just that unusually bad. As before, the source for the ad copy at the end of each block is this.

Asobi Asobase

What: A bunch of assholes play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

✅ It’s another exuberant comedy, and unlike Chio-chan, I can’t catch this one on the execution: It has the technical chops and honestly good comedic timing.

❌❌ Initially wants to make you believe it’s a pleasant cute girls doing cute things show, but what it actually is is a brutally annoying and ugly explosion in the reactionface factory. Since the production values are there, it’s rather too good at that.

❌❌ I was trying to compare it to something, and the best I could come up with was rage comics. Yeah, it’s anime rage comics. It’s that bad.

❌❌ I would feel more benevolent towards it if it were shorter, but at full length its high energy screaming based assault is mostly just tiresome.

♎ This is one of those rare shows where even I will say your mileage may vary. It’s really good at what it does, but I hate everything it does. Hooray for the subversion, but at the end of the day you’re still annoying and ugly.

ANN sez: “It's this exact mix of stupid crassness and innocent naiveté that I think truly defines high-school life, and Asobi Asobase nails it perfectly. “

Hyakuren no Haou to Seiyaku no Valkyria

What: A smartphone with a light novel protagonist attached time travels to the bronze age, establishes a incest-fascist harem regime with the power of Wikipedia.

❌❌ read the synopsis again please

❌❌ there’s more idiocy than that, believe it or not (ex.: smartphone hotline to his actual imouto, for the feels), but I haven’t got all day.

❌❌ Basing your isekai shit on “history” (i.e., a LN author’s idiotic idea of history) instead of an MMO or whatever only serves to piss me off even more.

❌❌ Actually not better than Isekai Smartphone, which makes it one of the worst anime episodes I have ever seen. Congratulations. The only thing it has over Death March is that it doesn’t spend 80% of the time in menus, but it makes menus look pretty good so it’s a wash.

ANN brainfarts: “Yuuto also seems to be limiting his phone searches to historically accurate things as well, which shows that he's really thinking about the fact that he's in the past – no one's inventing the rocket here, they're just learning to grind grain and use the phalanx formation for battles.”

Phantom in the Twilight

What: Chinese girl travels to London, inadvertently inherits her great-grandma’s vampire harem. 

✅ Step 1 of every otome harem appraisal is determining how much of a wet blanket the protagonist is; Ton here is pretty spunky and even gets to kick some ass, so well done on that.

✅ Some of the right kind of nonsense for my taste, stuff like chav goblins and Jiangshi with miniguns is always appreciated.

✅ Random shows ending up with bizarre minimal techno soundtracks is still something that I approve of.

❌ Still not the glorious kind of nonsense that Dance With Devils had, nor the disregard of actual romance in favor of comedy that Dame x Prince exhibited. It’s an otome-ass otome harem and that’s not inspiring confidence for the long term.

❌ Looks cheap, and that won’t be getting any better.

ANN sez: “The fantasy worldbuilding here also felt far more sturdy than in many similar shows; this isn't a world where the Good Fantasy Guys fight the Bad Fantasy Guys, this is a world where creatures like goblins and spriggans and werewolves all exist, all possess their own cultures and priorities, and uneasily rub shoulders with each other.”

Jashin-chan Dropkick

What: Demon snake girl wants to murder the chuuni gothloli that summoned her, gets owned right back.

❌❌ It’s the second coming of Dokuro-chan, with every punchline being torture. Quite literally for the characters, and consequently for the audience as well.

❌❌ Needless to say, the entire cast (there’s some additional supernatural babes, none of which make much of an impression) are jerks and the show being wantonly mean-spirited towards them does not cancel that out. 

❌ Somehow the second anime about eating reptile ass in recent memory. But Maidragon, as lame as it was, wasn’t as terrible as this. Jashin-chan won’t get into insipid family feels any time soon, but the alternative is worse.

ANN sez: “If this is your taste in humor, it may be worth giving a second episode to see if it starts pulling that off.”

Kyoto Teramachi Sanjou no Holmes

What: Handsome genius antique dealer appraises old pottery and his assistant’s soul.

✅ I have to admit that if you somehow decided to make a otome version of Sherlock without anything so crass as murder, this is how you’d do it. It works.

✅ The leading pair has simple but effective chemistry.

✅ The studio behind it has mostly done porn OVAs before, which is the kind of meta-humor I can get behind.

❌ Based on a series of novels, so naturally the talkytalk gets out of hand.

❌ Doesn’t have the highest budget, tries to make up for it with rainbow-colored garishness. Not a dealbreaker but it could get tiresome.

ANN sez: “While Yagashira cuts a handsome figure as the bishonen, Aoi has more of an ordinary appearance – perhaps deliberately so, since I suspect that the source novels were originally aimed at female audiences.”

Shinya! Tensai Bakabon

What: Showa-era gag manga gets on air again after decades, repeatedly points out how hilarious that is.

❌ Beat-for-beat the same first episode concept as Osomatsu-san.

❌ The main difference is that Bakabon is more willing to look old as fuck, but when they arrive at the non-ruse look at the end of the episode, it’s the same as the non-ruse look that Osomatsu-san ended up at the end of its own first episode.

❌  So guess what, constantly takes potshots at Osomatsu-san, despite being a blatant ripoff of it.

❌❌ When it doesn’t reference Things You Know (if you’re a middle-aged Japanese salaryman), it references its own sorry showa-era gag manga self.

❌❌ I didn’t even like Osomatsu-san but this is an embarrassment.

♎ On the bright side, not as likely to provide fujos with incest shipping material. I fully expect to be proven painfully wrong on this.

ANN sez: Nothing. Way too Japanese for them, I suppose. 

Angolmois - Genkou Kassenki

What: Historical action show wherein a bunch of misfits in medieval Japan fight the Mongols.

✅ Fairly decent action and animation thereof.

✅ Characters seem alright for this sort of thing. Maybe a bit too tryhard violent for my tastes, but that’s still within acceptable parameters.

❌❌ The looks are ruined in postproduction. I could live with the heavyhanded color correction, but what really kills it is the same omnipresent static paper texture over every single shot. It’s bad when it doesn’t change between shots but it’s devastating when it doesn’t move along with zooms and pans, which this show has a lot of.

❌❌ Seriously, I haven’t seen anything as senselessly destroyed by a single AfterEffects layer since Garo: Vanishing Line’s Parkinsonscam, but at least that only affected impact frames. Here it’s literally every frame. Delete that PNG you damn fools.

❌ So yeah, it’s okay-ish but that’s not enough to survive one boneheaded executive decision that’s impossible to ignore. It just comes out as a net negative.

ANN sez: “From its beautifully animated, choreographed, and directed fight scenes to its generally dynamic compositions and keen understanding of visual economy, Angolmois is a visually stunning production.”

Lord of Vermilion - Guren no Ou

What: Tokyo gets enveloped in red mist which raptures most of the population and turns the rest into JRPG characters. They start fighting, we promise.

❌ Has the shape of an obvious Persona clone, but isn’t one; it’s actually based on an arcade CCG. So the source material isn’t very classy to begin with.

❌❌ Haphazardly thrown together so it’s hard to care about anything, especially not the characters.

❌❌ Opens with a flashforward to the climax, so we know this will just end up as overdesigned dudes and dudettes having allegedly epic battles that the show can’t afford to make look good, but can afford to make very red. Thanks for the heads up, I guess.

❌ So it’s quite bad, and not even funny-bad like Caligula was.

ANN sez: “There are always a few action shows like this every season, and they're always entirely overshadowed by that season's versions of shows like My Hero Academia and Banana Fish”

Grand Blue

What: City slicker moves to a beach town expecting to end up in Amanchu; ends up in Animal House instead.

❌❌ Say it with me: Every punchline is the protagonist making a shocked face at dumb meatheads doing something stupid.

♎ For something that I feel like I should hate every second of, I actually didn’t hate it all that much. I even thought it was mostly sort of enjoyable. I don’t really know what exactly does it but I can offer some ideas:

✅ While the punchlines (well, punchline) may be bad, the jokes themselves aren’t. This is a real sitcom with larger-scale comedic setups than you usually see in anime, jokes build upon each other and keep escalating.

✅ Sleazy fratboy humor about partying hard and drinking like an idiot isn’t very profound, but rare at least in anime. And it’s amusing that the overall conceit is that it’s preventing iyashikei from taking place. Novelty counts for something. 

✅ Manages to build awkward comedic situations about buff dudes with their dicks out without resorting to the same old gay panic jokes. Just regular panic, no homo.

✅ Makes a good Friday beach bum combo with Harukana Receive, which incidentally also got better by embracing its more prurient side.

ANN sez: “If Grand Blue Dreaming has a major Achilles heel, its that it isn't self-aware enough to recognize when a joke has run its course. ”

Happy Sugar Life

What: Yandere sociopath adopts a preteen girl (from a parking lot). It’s cute, only not.

✅ Is fully aware that everyone in this show is an asshole and is honestly trying for subversive. At least on the surface.

✅ Goes all on on the imagery, which works. At least on the surface.

❌❌ Simply exploiting the contrast between cuteness and insanity got old about a decade ago; this cranks up the presentation on both sides but doesn’t really add anything new.

❌❌ About as mean-spirited and unpleasant as Mahou Shoujo Site, while having even less to say. 

❌ Doesn’t seem like it’s going anywhere; it’s just going to be the main character pwning other people that are just as flamboyantly fucked up as she is, but not as good at it. Starting with a flashforward to the (very edgy, of course) ending like Lord of Vermilion doesn’t help either. And even if they end up rusemanning what is implied there it won’t be much better.

ANN sez: “Happy Sugar Life was on my list of most-anticipated anime this season because its combination of disparate elements seemed so utterly perverse that I was curious to see how they could possibly fit together.“

Shoujo Kageki Revue Starlight

What: Girls slowwalk in an academy for stage arts by day, get into metaphorical superbattles by night.

✅✅ What can I say, it’s Love Live x Marimite with a glossy coating of Ikuhara-style operatics. A total deltabait concept if I’ve ever seen one.

✅ Clones the storytelling approach of Ikuhara but not many of his specific directing mannerisms; Since I’m tired of the latter but a sucker for the former, this is a good thing.

✅ In a similar vein, this trades Ikuhara’s functional ciphers for actual characters and his enigmatic arthouse plots for something that obviously makes sense. 

✅ How gay? So gay.

❌ Has the opposite problem of Grand Blue: This is a show that should blow me away, but doesn’t. In fact, if it didn’t bring the big damn musical theater complete with one of the best and most appropriate henshins I’ve ever seen near the end, I’d say it was fairly lame.

❌ Probably has something to do with that in the course of casualizing Ikuhara, the “real” world ended up too bland and the characters too generic. I get that it’s for contrast, but it can be done far better (see Yorimoi for an example).

✅ In any case, it still seems easily worth watching even if it’s not as good as it could be. Maybe it’ll even get better.

ANN sez: “All I can say for certain is that it comes completely out of nowhere, and that it raises all kinds of questions about what kind of series this is going to be.“

Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san

What: Impoverished ghost hunter checks into a haunted hot spring and interacts with the harem that happens to live there.

❌ As generic a 90s ecchi harem comedy as they come; my correspondents tell me that this is extremely reminiscent of Love Hina. Shockingly it’s actually based on a 2016 manga, but you wouldn’t be able to tell.

❌ As such, an abundance of accidental boobplants and other saucy accidents makes up the bulk of what’s going on this show.

✅ The main ghost girl is fairly cute; The main dude is also relatively bearable and has at least one good joke in his backstory (which I won’t spoil), so the core dynamic is surprisingly fine. If the rest of the harem weren’t there, this wouldn’t be such a bad setup. 

❌ Features those dastardly breast-hiding light rays, reportedly even in the AT-X version. This doesn’t affect a large part of the show (the majority is more like the cap above), but boobies are probably still the only reason anyone cares about any of this.

♎ Certainly not good, but the lame shit of yore is not what I’m going to spend energy getting mad at in 2018. The 24 minutes I’m ever going to spend with it felt more nostalgic than anything.

ANN sez: “Ninja girl Sagiri comes off the worst from the situation, with nearly all of her dialogue spent promising to beat the crap out of anyone who doesn't measure up to her moral code. I imagine there must be more to her and the rest of the supporting cast than what we've seen so far, but at the moment they seem an awful lot like stock characters.”

Sirius the Jaeger

What: A broody werewolf and his team of assorted bad dudes hunt vampires in 30s Tokyo.

✅✅ Looks ace, this is an action show with deluxe everything. It better, because being directed by Masahiro Ando is pretty much the start and end of this show’s unique selling points.

✅ Interwar Tokyo with a bit of a gothick twist is a cool setting, and this show can afford to portray it properly.

❌ Seriously though... edgy vampires and edgier werewolves. Come on, son.

❌ Just like Banana Fish, this is a highly polished implementation of something that fundamentally isn’t very interesting to me.

✅ I’d still take it over Fanana Bish because this doesn’t seem to take itself so bloody seriously and is far more comfortable with just being moody action schlock. It’s also less showoffy, believe it or not. What else are you going to watch? Sirius the Jaeger is what you’re going to watch. Sorry.

ANN sez: They only have a preview from Anime Expo, and that boils down to “The second episode is where things start to get interesting.“ I sure hope so.

Well, we got a few acceptable shows in if nothing else, I’ll leave it up to you to figure out which ones those are. I’m cutting my losses here, see you in three months for a hopefully more bountiful season.
