Sad Post Series – Instalment 1, Dark Doujins and that Bittersweet love-affair

I suppose first of all, I have to explain the title of this post so as to clear up the confusion that’s no doubt present.

This is the start of a series of posts by me, CyborgCommunist, on dark topics, gleamed from various anime or manga. These post generally about rather depressing topics hence the name, the Sad Post Series. An underwhelming name but hey, I’ve got to make it seem ridiculous enough to draw in readers.

I know you guys will like this

As the first part of the series, this post would be about Dark Doujins, mostly of the Romance genre (be it Straight or Yuri). And it’s “dark” as in having macabre/depressing topics albeit many of the manga/oneshots/doujin (oh yeah, it’s all about the printed works) have a silver lining in their plot. So by dark I’m not referring to depraved hentai doujins. Just those with generally “sad” outlooks (Not meaning that Hentai won’t be mentioned though. I just might).

Time to Decipher this (Black Rock Shooter Episodic: Episode 2)

First of, I’ll like to apologize if this post seems rushed or sub-par (I’m not sure if it’ll be) but I’m typing this really late at night and I’m exhausted. But I really wanted to do this post so I thought why the hell not.

Ok, now, BLACK ROCK SHOOTER!!!!!!!!

I still think the graphics are pretty amazing and the plot thus far has been really engaging. Well, that’s to me of course as some are just plain confused at the plot and the action.

Yeah, couldn't resist adding this

Picking off where Episode 1 left off, Episode 2 begins with Mato trying to go to the Summer Festival with Yomi as she’s trying to keep her word that they will become friends. However, our creepy yandere, Kagari, forces Yomi to stay at home with her and Mato goes home all depressed after waiting for 3 hours.

On the Second Day of AniChristmas (Popular Character Characteristics)

On the second day of AniChristmas, IntrestSoap gave to me, a character summary! You might be wondering, what the heck is a character summary? To be honest, I do not know what to call it, so let me explain it to you. I am going to give you a brief summary of as many types of character types there are because it is interesting to see how character designers come out with the many characters we see.

geddit? japanese characters... lots of them
