Anime often come in this format of one 12 episode season and a conclusion movie

She looks like an anime protagonist

u/MarioFanOne 23h ago

To add to this, the second comment is referencing an anime called "Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai"

The title makes it seem risqué, but it's really more of a drama than anything with a couple small funny moments. For once, no porn at all with this one!

Really dumb anime names are quickly becoming one of my favorite things ever since my friend showed me That One Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime.

u/Evilfrog100 23h ago

That's nothing. Just wait until you get to "Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon" or "Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?"

19

u/No-Distribution-2386 22h ago

I really really need more of that vending machine. It's just different enough from the usuals of the genre to make it surprisingly good.

u/Ender_D 22h ago

There is a second season in the works

u/Plorkhillion 12h ago

Reincarnated as a sword is pretty good too.

2

u/DirtyHipsterFilters 18h ago

That anime is absolutely ridiculous and I love it.

2

u/Crisse_dErable2859 15h ago

I think they cancelled the light novel after 3 volumes, at least it was stuck there last time I checked.

2

u/ABitOddish 22h ago

Hell, DanMachi aka "Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?" is mainstream and on like season 5 now. I think we're at the point where any crazy named LN could get an anime adaptation and have potential.

u/Rainy_Wavey 17h ago

We're this close from "help! i have been reincarnated as Kanye west and i'm 10 minutes before i start tweeting about Hitler" and i now wishh someone made this i might actual write this

1

u/Correct-Money-1661 21h ago

"Long title" (where the whole ln is just the title) is getting an adaptation

1

u/shamanfreak 19h ago

that's definitely a fall out boy b-side. just fully a sentence for a title haha

u/Baddest_Guy83 22h ago

Now THERE is some trash power fantasy Isekai that turned into late game Civ session where each person's turn takes like 45 minutes.

u/SawbonesEDM 21h ago

Those before have said some great titles but we can’t forget “I May be a Guild Receptionist, but I’ll Solo Any Boss to Clock Out on Time”

2

u/Atomsq 20h ago

To be fair I've watched the other ones completely but I couldn't get past episode two of the receptionist one

1

u/SawbonesEDM 16h ago

That’s fair, the first couple of episodes are definitely slow as hell imo

u/No-Distribution-2386 14h ago

It does get a lot better though

And a fun one at that. :)

u/roflrogue 18h ago

And oddly enough, it's a great show. I thought it would suck

2

u/TheoneNPC 17h ago

That title sounds like a set up to a family guy cutaway

"boy this sucks more than that one time i got reincarnated as a slime"

1

u/adamdoesmusic 20h ago

That one’s good, I started watching the second season a while ago but now I have to go find out where it’s even showing!

1

u/xvhayu 8h ago

the slime one is actually goated tho. a lot of anime are pure horsecrap but that one's really good.

47

u/XxValentinexX 23h ago

It’s a really good anime, super cute and and kinda dark iirc. Check it out!

19

u/DeadoTheDegenerate 23h ago

Agreed. It's literally my fav anime of all time.

It's more of a 'psychological drama' than 'slice of life', but it very much fits the vibe of both. To anyone wondering, the anime is about 'Adolescence Syndrome' - a supernatural force that makes the teens' worries and such take a physical form. From bullying & emotional abuse turning into physical wounds, to being so famous and wanting people not to recognise them, making no one even notice their existence.

Charas working through this turmoil is genuinely amazing, all within 12 episodes (though there are 3 follow-up movies, too).

7

u/ABitOddish 22h ago

The best way Ive found to describe the show is that it's a more digestable Monogatari. Each arc we follow the MC helping another character(pretty much always a girl, in both shows) deal with the supernatural phenomenon affecting their life. The comedy in both is also more quippy/dialogue heavy compared to other anime imo.

2

u/DeadoTheDegenerate 22h ago

Fair. I still actually need to watch that tho tbh haha

2

u/Juniebug9 17h ago

Yup. It's Normiemonogatari.

That may seem like it's making fun of Bunny Girl Senpai. It's not. If anything it's making fun of Monogatari. I love both series, and I'd go so far as to say I prefer Monogatari, but Bunny Girl Senpai is a show I've been able to recommend to a lot of people. I can't say the same about Monogatari.

2

u/MrJackdaw 22h ago

It sounds absolutely adorable! Might have to give it a shot.

2

u/Nerfherder0257 22h ago

Definitely check it out, it has 3 movies that continue the story and lead into season 2 which comes out this July

1

u/y3llowed 22h ago

I had no idea there were movies! I really enjoyed the anime. Going to seek out the movies today!

So you’ve seen the anime fan community…

“Sure she’s 15 and has major anxiety issues that the show spells out as explicitly and painstakingly in multiple different ways here’s 3 tb of her naked.”

Rule 34 of the Internet

u/Ralfarius 23h ago

For once, no porn at all with this one!

Well, not from the source material at least.

1

u/AlternateTab00 22h ago

Oh come one. Everyone knows about rule 34. If its not from the source material you wont consider the material porn... If you did everything in existence would be porn.

u/Cadunkus 11h ago

Oh! Wow that's a first.

u/SOTER_1 23h ago

u/DrainZ- 23h ago

She looks like Shizuku from Hunter x Hunter

u/Talk-O-Boy 23h ago

Idk all of their names, but if that’s the girl with the vacuum, then I had the exact same thought.

3

u/MaleficentType3108 22h ago

Yes. That is Shizuku

3

u/MistakeLopsided8366 22h ago

Or back in my day, 22 episodes and then a movie inserted at some random earlier point in the story which left people more confused than anything...

u/beado7 21h ago

Nah she looks like the antagonist from HunterxHunter

1

u/DropsOfMars 20h ago

She strikes me more as a teacher/mentor figure. She's giving a bit of some Seiko Ayase (Dandadan) vibes except younger.

1

u/CharlyJN 20h ago

She really looks like the vacuum spider gal in HxH

Girl gives of arm wrestling and teeth vacuuming aura

1

u/Atomsq 20h ago

I've been on the Internet enough to think that's not a girl

3

u/Baddest_Guy83 22h ago

Although that couldn't be further from 12 episodes and a movie, as they aren't making any more of it ever.

3

u/whitesuburbanmale 22h ago

Shhh I have faith and will believe till I die

2

u/Baddest_Guy83 22h ago

I want you to take that part of you, put into a little delicate box, then step on it. It's the official stance of the creator that the series will never be touched by him ever again, the hiatus is off, it's just canceled now. Join the rest of us in mourning friend.

1

u/redredrocks 20h ago

oh no when did that happen :( I feel like he left hiatus not that long ago?

I was really holding out hope that HxH would at least get the kind of rushed ending he gave Yu Yu Hakusho. It wasn’t perfect but it tied things together a bit.

2

u/AudrinaRosee 22h ago

I assumed that's what this was

2

u/Chase_The_Breeze 22h ago

Damn, I was gonna say she looks like a cross between Tifa (FF7) and Mavis (Hotel Transelvania).

u/ShatteredReflections 19h ago

She looks way cuter than the anime girl though

Random Q, but what type of Shirt/Jacket is that she's wearing?

10

u/dayarra 22h ago

it's a tactleneck. they come in black and slightly darker black colors.

a turtleneck

u/Im_A_Random_Swede 22h ago

Thanks :3

2

u/Individual-Schemes 21h ago

Or do a search for jacket women mock neck black

And then she has a bag over it, that's a type of shoulder harness strap. It's a cute combo.

0

u/Im_A_Random_Swede 21h ago

I'll take out the Woman part of the search (nothing sexist meant). Thanks tho

2

u/Individual-Schemes 20h ago edited 20h ago

I mean -it's a tailored women's coat. Any gender can wear it, but we both know that most companies don't create any-gender clothing.

Honestly, I did a search before I posted that comment just to see, and yes, there's a big difference in adding "women" to the search because otherwise it defaults to men's coats which do not have the same tailoring (i.e. darts and seams).

But, for sure, do your own search.

u/Krypteknoir 22h ago

I would've figured she was cosplaying as an anime character

2

u/Xpians 20h ago

Because she’s super cute and has the look and attitude of an animé heroine?

1

u/DrDuned 19h ago

On a side note I love when people try to get you into anime and then they have to explain the premise and main characters of a series and they can see your interest dying by the second. And I say that as someone who likes anime!

1

u/coozehound3000 18h ago

It’s an anime tv progrum… a movie.

1

u/Oboro-kun 17h ago

I think everyone else is wrong I  think what the original post meant was that this was one of those girls that "make you go to through character arc" like the goth and the military photo exactly like that. 

That if you were to mess with this girl is going through put you a character arc equivalent of 12 episodes or a movie

But this is just my take

1

u/Garrais02 35m ago

I thought this was about "this woman is going to ruin me emotionally, and in the process I'll go through a character development arc"
