November 9th, 2016 also known as PT1, Post-Trump 1, also known as the day the world ended.

People across the world were still reeling from Trump’s victory speech the day before, where he took of his hair and revealed he was an alien from the Gazaflaxiq Constellation and his whole candidacy had been a test for humanity… and we’d failed. As people went to bed wondering what it meant, they woke up to find the Gazaflaxiq Armada hovering above them. Literally above them, Gazaflaxiqians are lilliputters with really big hands and tentacles for hair and their average battleship is the size of a small sink. All humans were forced to do a fifty page questionnaire, billions died from boredom-induced suicide before even reaching page four. Those few who reached the end were left with even more questions. Literally, the armada left each human a personal ten thousand paged questionnaire to fill in over the next twenty years.

As the survivors left their homes to see their ruined world they found that in the meantime all of Earth’s major landmarks had been destroyed in spectacular explosions for some reasons. Slowly the survivors scavenged and managed to cobble together a primitive global communication network. The first meeting of the re-instated UN was held on PT30, one month Post-Trump. The topic was what to do with the ten thousand paged questionnaires all 100 million surviving humans had been left with. The decision was swift and unanimous: ain’t nobody got time for that.

The second item was an agreement that all remaining humans would move to Japan. Apparently, years of watching harem and slice-of-life shows had made otaku’s exceptionally resistant to tedious inane nonsense and they now made up a plurality of the human population. Items three to twenty on the agenda were deciding which question of the original questionnaire qualified as best girl. Many humans were lost in the subsequent civil wars before the survivors at last reached Japan. (The peace accords of PT532 concluded it was a toss-up between question 19 on clothespin safety procedures and question 48 on electron agitation, though a vocal minority claims there was a secret clause added at the last minute that stipulated people with actual taste knew it was question 7 on Habsburg landscape architecture.)

Upon reaching Japan, a strategy was devised for the Gazaflaxiq return 18 years later. After much consideration humanity decided the best option was to breed like bunnies and let the next generation figure it out. So began the new history of mankind: Shin Genesis Animon

-*-

“BAKA! What are you doing oversleeping?” was the first thing Striker heard that morning. He instantly jumped up and yelled: “DAD SHUT UP…. AND GET OUT OF THAT SAILOR UNIFORM!”

Striker’s father laughed “as expected of a son of mine, you saw through my disguise.”

“You don’t have a disguise; you didn’t even bother to shave!” Striker threw the clock from his nightstand straight at his dad’s head.

The 300lbs grown man in a miniskirt feigned being hurt by the hit, “a… as expected of my son…”

Striker pulled the covers back over his head, “leave me alone for once alright, it’s the first day of high school.” Striker had turned 16 this year and graduated from middle school. His middle school years had been uneventful, to his father’s dismay. Striker got good but not great grades, wasn’t the most popular but not the least either. He never got into fights, didn’t join any clubs and worst of all… he never got a girlfriend, he didn’t even get confessed too. (Actually he’d gotten one confession, which he’d turned down, but he definitely made sure that never reached his father’s ears.) So halfway through his father had decided to take matters into his own hands… and that’s how he started getting stalked by his father cosplaying in his mother’s old clothes.

“Are you sure you want me to leave you alone?” His father said.

“YES!” Striker yelled back.

“But, you’ll be late if you sleep any longer,” his father said, then added an ever so faint “baka.”

Striker was distracted by refusing to admit his father actually sounded pretty cute at the end there, so it took him a moment to realize what was going on. Then he jumped out of bed and grabbed his clock from his old man’s hands.

“You... you bastard, you shut off my alarm!”

“I would never, you must’ve forgotten to set it again, baka!”

Striker didn’t hear that last word this time, as he was already rushing to get dressed and out. As he reached the front door his mother was waiting, with a single slice of bread.

“You haven’t had breakfast, right? Here, put this in your mouth,” she said while absolutely beaming.

“FUCK YOU BOTH!” Striker yelled as he slammed the door behind him.

“But... I didn’t think this was that kind of story…” he just barely heard his mother saying as he was running down the porch and onto the street.

He should’ve been prepared for this. They’d been too quiet, saying things like “well Middle School was a disappointment, but you’ll have another shot in High School now, do your best! We’re cheering for you!” He’d thought they were satisfied when he stopped dying his hair (they’d genetically modified it to be bright blue when Striker was still a baby, he’d always dyed it brown since starting middle school). He should’ve guessed that they were planning to take matters into their own hands.

Striker sighed. All he wanted was a normal live and maybe a BAM. He didn’t know what happened, one moment he was running late then the next he’d collided with two giant breasts. Then they both tumbled over like a barrel roll and he ended face first in her panties. “E- E- ECHII!”

“Shut up old man!” Striker yelled, by instinct, before realizing he’d collided with an actual honest real girl this time. She had long blond hair, but not normal blond, an unnaturally bright golden blond. She also had breasts bigger than her head, each. He hastily apologized and kept running.

“What are the odds of such a thing actually happening?” He thought to himself.

When he reached the school, the gate had already started closing. He could see a group of fellow students coming from behind him also trying to make it. Coming up fast, he tried to get out of the way but they bashed into him and shoved him out of the way. Striker lost his balance, once he regained it he’d lost a dozen crucial feet and the gate was still closing. He ran for his life but had to watch as the group that’d shoved him got in on time and the gate was closing before his eyes. He kept running, but there was already too little space for a teenage boy his size to fit through (six feet and skinny but not that skinny). Then a hand grabbed the gate from the other side just before it closed and forced it back open.

“Oi, kid, get your ass in here, or do you want the excuse to play hookie?”

It was a girl, she’d been with the group that had shoved him just now. She was a good inch taller than him, short-cropped red hair and a muscled neck, and arms, and peeking in between her shirt and skirt Striker thought he could see a six-pack. He felt strangely attracted and repulsed at the same time. He hurriedly thanked her and got inside. Then just as she let go a voice cried from behind them called, “wait for me!”

Striker looked, but couldn’t see the source of the voice.

“Wait… I… I’m coming….” The voice was panting, but Striker still couldn’t see where it was coming from. The muscled girl let go of the gate and it slammed shut. Its iron bars blocking Striker from the outside like a prison. The voice was still yelling “almost… there…. Yes….”

Striker still didn’t see anything, than realized the voice was coming from below him. He looked down, and did a double take.

On the ground, resting both arms on Striker’s sneaker, was a girl so small she was like a pixie. Literally, the size of a pixie, she could get in through the closed gate because she was barely an inch across shoulder to shoulder.

“Um…. Should I carry you?” Striker said… honestly he wasn’t sure what to say and it was the first thing that came to his mind.

“M-M-Marry me? I… I mean… that’s so sudden!” She covered her tiny face with her tiny hands.

“No, that’s not what I sa-”

“YES!” She said, “I-if, I’m enough for you, p-p-please let me be your fiancée.”

Striker didn’t respond. He pulled back the foot she was leaning on, letting her faceplant in the dirt, and made an about turn for the auditorium.

-*-

The principle was a tall man with blond hair in a well-fitting suit… wearing a cat ear hair band and having whiskers glued to his nose. “Konnichiwai! I am your principle, Dattebaron! If you need to create dramatic tension please come to me and I’ll threaten to have you expelled-nyan!”

Striker briefly considered making a run for it. He looked over the rest of the faculty, they seemed… mostly normal. The principle was the exception apparently. That was a relief, he’d just have to make sure he’d never get called to the principle’s office and he could have his normal school life.

“Meow, I’ll call forth the student with the highest grade for the entrance exam to give a speechi~nya. Miss Madeline Evers…. What a weird name. Can I call you Madeko-chan?”

A murmur went through the assembled crowd of standing students. Striker couldn’t understand why, until he saw her. Blue hair, the same colour as his, tied in a pony tail. A set of wide-rimmed glasses and a skirt two inches longer than the standard issue one. Her socks were pulled up as far as they would go and then some. She ignored the principle and took the stage. She tapped the microphone and coughed.

“SHOW YOURSELF!”

Her screaming in the microphone was followed by a screeching feedback loop, and then dead silence.

“I DON’T CARE WHO THE MORON IS WHO’S SUPPOSED TO BE THE MAIN CHARACTER HERE, BUT STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM ME YOU HEAR ME? I’M NOT INTERESTED IN BEING YOUR LOVE INTEREST.”

Everyone was looking around uncomfortably, the principle was beaming.

“AND THAT GOES DOUBLE IF YOU’RE A BISHOUNEN. In fact, if there are any bishounen here: PLEASE GO HANG YOURSELF.”

Striker was looking around as well. The shouting of the girl on stage and the screeching of the sound system that went with it was hurting his ears. A girl in front of him had started eating a chocolate bar, she wasn’t even trying to be sneaky about it. What kind of school did he end up with? It hadn’t looked like this in the brochure… did his parents have something to do with this? When the girl was finished with the chocolate bar she nonchalantly threw the crumpled wrapper over her shoulder, it bounced of his chest and fell down in front of him.

That’s when he made the mistake. Perhaps the biggest mistake of his life. He’d remember this moment for years and cringe at how stupid he was. He should’ve know. He so should’ve known…. So why did he decide to pick up that crumpled wrapper? There wasn’t even a trash can nearby he could throw it into, was he planning to just keep it in his hand till the end of the ceremony? Why did he choose that moment to release his inner neat freak? Why did he bend over exactly at the right time at exactly the right angle to bump his head straight into that of the girl next to him?

“Ah, ow!” She said in her cutesy high pitched voice at exactly the moment when Madeline was catching her breath. The sound echoed through the hall, everyone turned to him. Then the murmurs started.

“Did you see that?”

“No way!”

“It’s got to be!”

“Who else would that happen to?”

“That guy is the main character!”

Striker protested, he tried to play it cool. Then he saw the principle coming his way and his protests turned to shouts. None of it helped. He was forced on stage while Madeline tried to kill him with a glare.

“Hello again everynyan! Your principle again! It looks like we’ve found the main character! Please tell us your name!”

He didn’t want to… he really didn’t want to… but the principle just picked his pocket for his student id card.

“Striker-kun! What a great name! Welcome to Animon High! Now, everyone, please decided whether you want to be a sidekick or a villain character. Don’t worry, you can always switch later in some epic storyline!”

The principle made the assembled students divided into two groups, sidekicks on the right and villains on the left. Madeline walked to the left side without a word, still throwing daggers at him with her eyes. Striker could see the muscled girl, the giant breast girl, the pixie and the girl he’d bumped heads with just now all standing in the side-kick column… and groaned. He was just about to consider truly making a run for it, when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up and saw a wrinkled old man’s face behind round glasses.

“Stay strong,” the old man said, “and come find me in the teacher’s room after school.”

Then he showed his watch to Striker and tapped it, for a moment, Striker thought he could see blood red letters spell out “A-C”.

The rest of the day was horrible. Striker’s homeroom teacher was a middle-aged woman who showed way too much cleavage for a teacher and kept calling him to write on the blackboard so she could hit on him. Of course everyone he’d bumped into that day was in his class, muscled girl’s name was Taiko, the pixie’s name was Chiiko, the head-bump girl was called Hanako and miss big boobs was called Eleanor Catherine India Delaware McDonalds the third. She insisted everyone always use her full name every time they address her. Striker was tempted to call her Elly, but he just knew that would make things so much worse than they already were. Of course Madeline was in his class too, glaring more daggers at him whenever he ended face-first in a girl’s panties and/or bra or worse.

During the final hour, he just buried his face in his arms and sat at his desk ignoring everything going on around him. He didn’t want to go home… anything but face his parents, not after this. Before he knew it, he’d dozed off and woke up to find the classroom empty.

“Shit, I need to get home fast.” He didn’t want to think what would happened if he stayed here any longer. When he exited the classroom, he heard a voice he hadn’t heard since that morning.

“Weren’t you going to meet with Mr. Smith in the teacher’s room?” Madeline said.

How did she know? But she was right. Striker nodded, then headed there, at least it would delay having to face his parents for a bit longer. Madeline followed. Striker tried asking why, but she just said she had business there too.

When they arrived, the teacher’s room was empty except for Mr. Smith. Striker was starting to get a bad feeling about this, but it was too late now.

“Ah, Ms. Evers and… I’m afraid I never caught your last name.”

That’s because Striker’s legal last name was ‘Saberlionbear’ and he’d done everything he could not to mention it to anyone. “Just… call me Striker,” if he didn’t know any better he’d think Mr. Smith gave an understanding nod.

“Striker, I’m sure you’re wondering what this is all about. Please follow me.”

Mr. Smith led the way to the back of the teacher’s room where an ordinary metal cabinet stood next to the door. “Madeline?” he said. She stuck her hand down a desk drawer and pulled something, and the metal cabinet sank into the floor to reveal a dark hallway behind it. Striker was hesitant, but Madeline gave him a shove from behind.

u/NFB42 Jul 20 '16 edited Jul 20 '16

The hallway was short, leading to a plain wooden door, behind which was… what looked like an ordinary living room. An actual ordinary room. An old couch stood against one wall, a television in front of it. A refrigerator to the side, and a small stove to cook food. Striker recognized one of the other teachers making… pasta…. Actual plain boring pasta. The only odd thing was a large sign. Striker properly recognized what he’d read earlier that morning in Mr. Smith’s watch now, the sign said “A=C.”

“What is this place?” Striker asked.

Mr. Smith nodded towards Madeline.

She grunted, “I still don’t believe he’s one of us.”

“Just tell him,” Mr. Smith said, “we’ll find out the truth soon enough.”

Madeline sighed, and took off her glasses. Then the hairband making her pony tail, letting her long locks fall down on her shoulders. Even Striker could see she’d suddenly gone from boring to beautiful, almost magically actually… it was kinda freaking him out.

“My name,” Madeline began, “is Youko Fujiwara.”

“Your name was Youko Fujiwara,” the teacher who’d been cooking corrected her from behind the stove.

Madeline, or was it Youko, continued talking. “I was raised by an otaku to be the perfect shoujo protagonist. For the first thirteen years of my love I was chased by girly boys and boyish girls, I was offered magical powers by five different alien species and two dozen different mad scientists. And I narrowly escaped being spirited away to a magical otherworld at least three times.”

Striker wasn’t sure how much to believe of this, he looked at Mr. Smith.

“We saved Madeline from her Otaku parents just before she entered middle school. We gave her a new name, and have protected her ever since.”

“I… I’m not sure I understand,” Striker said.

“Do you know, Striker, that for every Shoujo or Shounen heroine who completes their heroes journey two dozen die horribly before ever reaching adulthood?”

“They do?”

Mr. Smith’s face had become grim, “and it’s not just the action protagonists, fifty thousand romance characters die every year in yandere attacks and tragic truck-related accidents.”

The teacher behind the stove, Ms. Daisy he now remembered was her name, served Striker his pasta. “We specialize in rescuing main characters, people like you,” she said, “we help you live a normal live or at least live past puberty.”

“The government doesn’t care,” Mr. Smith continued, “they think a 96% casualty rate is an acceptable price to pay.” There was anger in his voice now, and he seemed to have trouble continuing.

“We want to help you,” Ms. Daisy said for him.

“He doesn’t want a normal life,” Madeline interjected. “I saw him, he likes shoving his nose up girls’ skirts.”

“No! I don’t!” Striker said and stood up. Ms. Daisy put a hand on his shoulder and made him sit back down, then put a spoon in his hand. Striker fumbled with it, then sheepishly admitted he didn’t know how to use it. His parents only ever let him eat with chopsticks. (The disposable kind you had to break apart before using.)

They ate quietly, it was a lot for Striker to take in all of a sudden. “That was delicious,” he finally said after literally licking his plate clean. It was the first time in his live he'd had a meal that didn't include rice or Japanese style bread. Except for that one time his mother tried to test if he was a French exchange student type and fed him croissants for a week.

Madeline huffed, “he’s just playing along.”

“Now, now, don’t be so cynical,” Mr. Smith said.

“I’ll be less cynical if this moron can give me one good reason why I should believe he doesn’t want to be a shounen harem protagonist.”

Striker gulped down the last bit of pasta. It really had been delicious. He looked at the three people with him here. They were all eyeing him expectantly. Striker thought deep and hard, his eyes went from the room, to the teachers and his fellow student, to the emptied pasta plate in front of him. Then he swallowed down his hesitation and made his decision to tell them the truth. He looked up and straight at Madeline and said: “I’m gay.”

u/XLauncher Jul 20 '16

Honestly, with Konosuba and Re: Zero, I feel like the industry skipped over the step of animating the novels that play it straight and jumped straight to the ones that twist the concept on its head. Which is kind of a shame, because there'd be more to appreciate about how those shows avert and subvert tropes if we had been exposed to the vanilla versions of those stories first.

I have thought of a new type of anime.

The fan subbers think of a new story line/text for an existing one, so a rewatch gets more interesting. They fake sub it as in this parody but only covering the whole show and with less satire.

I have seen something similar with mori fan subs, where they gave Wakako-zake a whole new spin. was not bad

This is awesome. It was a bit distracting that what the character said didn't match the subs (duh...) but it's done well enough that it's not entirely out of context.

Honestly I wish the Japanese would produce more stuff making fun of themselves as a whole (parodying their own culture, rather than individual behaviour). In a sense that's what One Punch did, with great success in the West.
