#i fucking love medaka box

What do you think of Shinjuku and Salem?
Those are the good EoRs. Shinjuku and Yuga Kshehtra are my favorite chapters and I put Yuga Kshehtra above as a story that’s great for everyone, but Shinjuku is actually better in catering to my tastes specifically. With how much I make clear in this blog that I love Danganronpa and Medaka Box, it should be no surprising that I’m absolutely in love with the story that plays with classic detective aesthetics and has the law of narrative causality as a plot point that the villain is looking for a way to dodge. I also can help but appreciate the ridiculous over-the-topness in “let’s destroy the planet by building a large enough gun” and Baal’s motivation being “fuck self-inserts”.
Much like E Pluribus Unum, Shinjuku is very much a solo show, aside from one marvelous Jalter chapter, but that doesn’t feel like a problem to me in either chapter because Nightingale and Moriarty just happen to be my two favorite Servants. Or perhaps this is the reason they are.
And Salem takes the experimental nature of EoR and builds something that feel completely different from the standard FGO chapter. It gets hard to say how much I like it compared to other chapters because it doesn’t feel like it fits the same narrative mold. And that’s by no means a bad thing.
Meteo is an expert in creating dark moods without making them feel too dull, and I love the contrast it creates with his absurdist humor that come into play in the theater scenes. The mood whiplashes and strange tones are all over the place in Salem but I can’t put fault in it because Meteo very clearly knows what he’s doing the entire time.
Best characters are Nezha and Circe. Salem is a situation where we need to hide our natures and can’t solve our problems with violence, which gets a lot easier with the fact that Fujimaru built an otherwise very cautious party in Robin, Sanson, and Mata Hari. However, we also have our dear pair of loose cannons there, spicing up the story with Nezha’s constant “Master, permission to solve our problems with violence” and Circe’s immense pride on her status as a greater witch conflicting with her need to hide it.
I ultimately really dislike the consequences of Salem to the franchise as a whole (the Foreigner Class existing), but Salem itself is pretty good.

My only problem with the twist that Fuuko’s favorite manga is apparently a prophecy of the events of the story is that she didn’t notice
Like if my school’s student council suddenly got into a literal fight in lieu of a proper election, I’d immediately be like “huh, that’s kind of like the Minus Arc in Medaka Box, weird”
I’m not saying she should have figured it out, I’m saying she should have pointed out it was weird. This would have accomplished two things:1, it would have actually set up the twist instead of having it come out of nowhere (which up to this point the author has been really good about); and 2, it would have helped flesh out Fuuko’s character. We knew she loved To You, From Me since literally page one, but it was only even mentioned in page one. It was apparently good enough that it was worth postponing her suicide, why do we only know anything about it now? Why do we only NOW know that it’s apparently a sci-fi romcom with battle elements? Knowing that that’s a story that Fuuko likes would go along way in informing what kind of person she is. Even just having her spend a couple panels here and there saying “whoa, this feels familiar. It’s like this one arc in You-Me!” and having someone say “what the fuck kind of manga is this?” would have been really funny
Considering how good at foreshadowing the author has proven to be up to this point (various characters’ abilities, the timeloop, etc.), I am surprised how poorly implemented this one was, but I’m perfectly willing to let it slide, especially considering this is their first serialization. It’s also possible that the author explicitly chose not to foreshadow it because they were worried it would be too obvious, which I can understand, it just feels a little too abrupt for me
Fingers crossed they’ll continue to improve over the rest of the series

@bewiitching asked: ✿ Do you have a mun FC? If so why did you choose that as your FC, and if not who would you choose? |X|
Misogi Kumogawa from Medaka Box. Technically I don’t really use mun FCs, but I decided to try to mostly stick to him lately. I mean, if I went with people I actually physically resemble, I’d be using Shuu Iwamine from Hatoful Boyfriend. I am actually a bird and I will conquer mankind, the fools.
I chose Misogi for...a couple reasons. Instead of really talking much about it, which I originally intended to do, I’m just going to leave a few things here. You can probably get an impression about me from it, but you’ll probably get the wrong one?
Ew Chris Is Disclosing Stuff Scroll Down
It’s partially a joke on the fact that I know exactly where my personality is warped/flawed, since if I rationally analyze things: I am technically a very decent, kind and capable person. I am capable of acknowledging this. Instead, circumstances over life just rendered it so that it’s extremely difficult for me to emotionally register this, and I typically feel my nature is something abhorrent. I don’t need anyone to tell me otherwise, though - it’s not their job. No one’s responsible for changing that part of me - that’s my job. That’s something I’ll be going to war with for the rest of my life, and most of the time I’m going to win because I am damn fucking good at it.
As long as my friends and loved ones are around me, as long as I don’t forget the people around me like an asshat, it doesn’t really matter because I can take care of it all myself. The only thing I need are friends and loved ones - I’m a very efficient machine at sorting myself out. Basically I’m a big gay and friendship with me is a fucking superpower, you will never understand how much of a positive affect it has on a person like me, lmfao.

Just watched the 1st Episode of Neo Yokio...
...It sucks, I was so bored of it instantly, who was intended for? Jaden Smith himself, I am not gonna bother watching the other episodes, the voice-acting is terrible, everyone sounds bored, the animation looks crap and there's nothing memorable about it, the character Kaz Kaan is freakin unbearable, he's so annoying, bitchy (kinda like Jaden himself) keeps whining and why does he talk like it's poetry? Why are the characters here so bland? Why is Jude Law in this? There are better roles for him Some of you may say it's good, in my opinion it's boring When I watched Castlevania I was like "Aww Adorable beginning" then "Whoa! What are you doing?! What are you doing?! That's his wife!" Loved it, can't wait for season 2 Miss Kobayashi "Haha, this is funny and adorable" Hajimete No Gal, while I hate Harem Anime, that had a charm to it and it was funny Seven Deadly Sins, loved it, season 2 too short though but loved all the characters and the badass action Seven Mortal Sins, Ass and Tittys-Ass and Tittys, who cares about the plot when you have a bunch of sexy demons and angels fighting? Queens Blade...need I say more? Gurren Lagann, mechas and tittys while fighting gods! What else do I have to say?! Kill la Kill, Don't lose your way! Little Witch Acadamia, nothing sexual but adorable and heart-warming Dragon Ball series, it's Dragon Ball! Elfen Lied, odd story and weird sexual moments but had me tears with the sadness and...give me a moment... Medaka Box, loved it, where the hell is season 3?! Code Geass, has a prick protaganist you would side with Hellsing...Eh, it's ok Hellsing Ultimate, Fuck yeah! Blast them Vampires and Nazis! Real vampires don't sparkle! Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood (never watched the original) Loved it, great story, great characters, sad moments, funny moments, heart-warming finish Cross Ange, a bit odd, but a good show, quite sexy too, uncensored please? Ajin, don't underestimate that immortal oldman, he's sinister, how can you make a gentle oldman, into a evil genius badass? Great! One Punch Man...One Puuuuuuunch! High School Of The Dead, anime Shaun of the Dead with tits High School DXD, Rias Gremory please step on me, hehe Blue Exocist, fun show, Shura you can also step on me Netzoru Trap (I may butchered the title there) Kiss her! Fucking kiss her already! You're killing me! Cowboy Bebop, so charming, can I have Ein, I wanna dog like that too Sword Art Online, 1st season ok, 2nd was garbage, 3rd Sinon is bae, fuck you Kirito nobody likes you RWBY, I can't explain it, I just love it! Ruroni Kenshin (I think) Charming Samurai Champaloo (maybe) Freakin badass and funny Black Lagoon, go watch it! Do it! Or I'll call Revy on you! Plenty of great Anime I've watched (if RWBY counts) This show, Neo Yokio...is that a demon joke? What is it? What is it suppose to be?! It's unbearable, kinda cringey too, not even anything sexy to redeem it, maybe the Helena character but even she sounds annoying, it's boring, Jaden you'll never be as great as your Father Will Smith, Will Fucking Smith who I would want as a best friend, he's son is annoying, not sure about his daughter though, either way Neo Yokio sucks, just wanted to let it out, sorry...

My top three will have to be Goku, because he just fights to better himself. He trains to be stronger. I really don't believe bruh give a shit about anything else. Medaka from Medaka Box because she just genuinely wants to help people. She just can single handedly perfect everyone's moves and she is so sweet and I love her. And then One Punch Man who is a fucking super hero for fun. Icon.
#ooc // bitch me#I mean Luffy is close third for me too#and also from 7 deadly sins tiny blonde?#can't remember his name

Free Time Event Review
I should have done this on Sunday, but clearly foodposting is a huge priority.
Arguably spoiler-free:
Rantarou Amami: 4.5/10. The events did an excellent job making me learn a lot about Amami. What it didn’t do was make me like Amami though. In fact it made me like him less and the last event felt like a scam. Highlights were the second event (amazing demonstration of Amami’s emotional state regarding the killing game) and him taking a jab at my country’s politics in the 4th event.
Miu Iruma: 1.5/10. Believe it or not, I was really looking forward for this one. Iruma was a character with a lot of questions I was curious about. Why does she swings so easily from ridiculous arrogant to ridiculous unassertive? Where do her abondonment issues stem from? And the most interesting for me is her obsession with time. Almost every time someone starts conversation with her she complains about wasting her time, her main series of inventions are things that allow people to act while their sleep so they can have more time in a day and even her dislike in the report card is idle time. That’s what I really wanted to know about. Iruma’s humor is unreadably unfunny, but I was very willing to tolerate that to get the answers I was curious about. What I got instead were 3 purely comedical events, 2 pseudo-romantic waifubaiting events, 1 event that half-answers the least interesting question and 1 stupid and pointless backstory that doesn’t tie to any of her main personality traits. I dug through all this garbage and the interesting parts of Iruma’s personality were barely acknowledged. I would give it 1 but I’m giving it an extra half point because Kaede can punch Iruma in one optional dialogue. It would be 2 if said scene wasn’t optional.
Kokichi Ouma: 8/10. Ouma’s events also don’t answer any questions about him, but in this case it’s not a problem because the main story clarifies a lot about him. The events do have great hints for it though, specially 2 and 5. The rest of his are mostly comedy (except the last one, which is more shipbait), which is great because Ouma comedy is top tier. The event where he challenges you to a card game and starts roleplaying Kaiba is the single most funny event in the entire franchise.
Ki-bo: 8/10. An unexpected favorite. Half of his events are wasted in 2 events of him showing off his functions and of 2 comedy events as boring as Ki-bo comedy is, but the remaining 3 are pretty great. Event 2 is surprisingly actually funny Ki-bo comedy, event 4 is a backstory adds quite a bit of emotional weight to Ki-bo’s main story role and the last one gives great focus to the thing I like the most about Ki-bo.
Gonta Gokuhara: 6/10. Gonta’s events were good and nice to read. That’s it, I guess. I have absolutely nothing to complain about, but nothing spectacular to praise either. It’s just Gonta being Gonta and that’s very nice. It has some good comedy and I like how the events tie in with each other. I absolutely loved the direction his wolf backstory took and it contains some bits of foreshadowing hidden in it.
Shuuichi Saihara: 4/10. I already talked in more detail about this one in a spoiler tagged ask, but so you can look that up in my Saihara tag. I was really conflicted on how to grade this one. In one hand, it has two of my favorite events in the game (2 and 5). On the other hand, it has the sixth event spitting on the reasons I like Saihara at least three times. To make things worse, it has a good ammount of romance events that barely adds anything to either character. I know SaiAka is the main pairing of the game and I even ship it, but I don’t want 3 entire events wasted on that. Well, as you can tell from the 2 events I love, at least it’s not as terrible as Nanami, who wastes all her 5 events with minimal information about her.
Tsumugi Shirogane: 7.5/10. Biased opinion time. Nothing special happens in her events, but they are actually better this way. The main charm in Shirogane is how her dialogue feels like a normal conversation with a real friend, more so than any of the other characters. Quoting myself “Talking to Shirogane feels exactly like reading my Twitter timeline”. The event where she brags about her blandness is also pretty funny. The foreshadowing here is also pretty clever and subtle.
Korekiyo Shinguuji: 9/10. Don’t ge me wrong, I still hate Shinguuji as much as the next guy, but also don’t forget he used to be one of my favorites before I got to know him better. Unlike the main story, the Free Time focus almost completely in the good parts of him. I love his talent and hearing him talking about culture is always enjoyable. That aside, we also have the event about his mask, which is absolutely hilarious and would probably be my favorite comedy event if wasn’t biased by my love for Yugioh. Speaking of comedy, as his bonus mode dates prove a lot, Shinguuji is kind of a goldmine for dramatic irony-based fucked up comedy, so if you’re into that, I STRONGLY recommend doing his second event before chapter 2.
Tenko Chabashira: 5/10. I love Chabashira and it was a very fun ride from event 2 to the end (event 1 is just Chabashira trashtalking men for an entire event), but it has a few issues. Mainly her backstory and the discussion about it relying on her being unbelievably dumb. But overall, it had some great highlights that made me like her even more, like the talk about idols and superheroes on events 2 and 5 respectively.
Kirumi Toujou: 2/10. Same idea as my comments about Iruma, but with only one question: why is she so dedicated to her maid job if it’s described only as part-time job her? She clearly denies her own individuality for the sake of serving and we get no explanation for it. All we get is 7 events of Toujou just being her completely unnapealling self. No traces of humanity detected. There’s one time it feels like Kodaka thinks he is giving her a character flaw but he really isn’t. She’s somehow even worse than Kamukura. This events were a great reminder why I despise maid characters and made me appreciate a lot more the characters I used to compared Toujou to (Hisui from Tsukihime and Medaka from Medaka Box) because those two managed to be good characters despite belonging to this terrible archetype.
Maki Harukawa: 7/10. They are kinda bleak and completely lacking in comedy, but they expand on Harukawa’s already great backstory in interesting ways and really shows her worldview much more comprehensively. I just find it bad that the final 3 events talk about her backstory but you can access them before Harukawa reveals her backstory in the main story, so the characters allude to a conversation they haven’t had yet (happened to Jess).
Ryouma Hoshi: 8.5/10. Overall pretty nice set of events. The first event is cute cat event very similar to Peko’s first, second is not great one of just him being edgy, third and fourth is tennis backstory and fifth and sixth is the part of the backstory we all wanted to know about. Overall nice and very solid events with a great balance between good characterization, comedy and foreshadowing. I would give a 6/10 if they ended there. Yup, you read that right, I’m entire 2.5 extra points just because of Hoshi’s last event. So good. Easily the most heartwarming event in the entire game. Hoshi being happy is something extremely satisfying to watch.
Kaito Momota: 7/10. Pretty solid and expansive on Momota’s good qualities. I like how they tie-in a lot of his traits to his astronaut talent. His backstory is also a fun read, but the highlights there go to the inner reactions to the story, like not believing the story is real and constantly going “This story is way too long, when are we getting to the part about space?”.
Himiko Yumeno: 7.5/10. Like with Sakura, the events are a single story told in multiple parts (except for the first two). It’s good characterization, fun and resonates well with game’s central themes just like Chabashira’s, but with much more respect to Yumeno’s intelligence. Also, the second event is all about my favorite thing about Yumeno and the first has optional dialogue saying Yumeno eats books and that never stops being funny.
Angie Yonaga: 0.5/10. Free Times that do the thing that needs to be done: makes understand a lot about Angie. The problem is that the more you know about Angie, the worst she gets. Her 5th event in particular was infuriating and repulsive enough to drop this grade from 5 to 0.5.
