I Failed At Anime 2022

The project's premise follows Kouta Hasegawa, a high school boy that loves the yellow Pom Pom Purin dog. By mere coincidence, he ends up attending the same school as Yuu Mizuno, a boy who likes the bunny My Melody. Yuu tells Kouta that there's nothing to be ashamed of for liking Sanrio's cute characters. Together, Kouta, Yuu, Shunsuke Yoshino, Ryou Nishimiya, and Seiichirou Minamoto learn to accept their love of the characters instead of feeling embarrassed.

The Sanrio boys originally started out as twitter personalities to sell merch, then got an otome game and probably some other stuff I forget now it's been a couple days since I looked all that poo poo up and now they're an anime.

official twitter account w/tons of art

Watch it on CR

Social Media really ramped up brand engagement, huh

Also, when will they bang atop Pompompurin® sheets?

No, they're using mostly older/classic characters and Retsuko is probably too new.

There are a couple of other dudes who haven't shown up (no idea if they will or not) who like Badtz-Maru and Keroppi though.

The idea of a yaoi bait show sponsored by a company whose rabbid attack dog lawyers will kill you in your sleep if you make unlicensed fanworks makes me uncomfortable. The idea of a yaoi bait show makes me mostly just uninterested. I like how horny it is. It's funny how shameless about being a commercial it is while also being pretty earnest and sweet. Nice message. Pretty enjoyable first ep.

I watched ep4 last night (shows how far behind I am D: ) and lol that the whole issue was that tan boy was emotionally stunted and causing all of the problems on his own (i.e. the encapsulation of the entire theme of the show)

Was this the hello kitty/soccer episode? I remember when I was watching it.

:ohdear: : Oh no, is his team going to bully him?
"Don't worry about screwing up, i'm carrying your asses anyway."
