Colors TCG 4th Anniversary - Day 04

[astralfire]

Happy Colors Anniversary, players! Have you ever wanted people to tell you their favorite books, or movies, or television shows, but all they give you is a list of names or titles, and you have no idea if you'll like them?

The remedy for your pain is simple! They will now be required to tell you a synopsis instead! So for this discussion, everyone will comment with a brief (or not so brief) synopsis of their favorite manga or anime written by themselves! That means no copying and pasting the synopsis from the Internet! There should be no directors' names or writers' names or illustrators' names, and no titles in your comment! There should also really be no character names, or it will be too easy! You're trying to challenge your fellow Colors players!

Others can feel free to guess the title or name of the manga or anime you described, or you can go guess others', but don't worry, no one has to guess it in order for you to receive your rewards! Merely posting a synopsis will get you the prizes!

To sum up the rules:
● Post a self-written synopsis of your favorite manga or anime. (It can be an animated film too!)
● Don't include titles, directors, illustrators, or writers! Try not to include character names either, or it may be too easy of a guess!
● Here is a /r/books example of how to play.
● Feel free to go guess what other people's favorite manga or anime is!
● For your synopsis, you will receive fourstival04 and two random crayons!

Please use this form when making your comment!

Player name: Chives
Synopsis: Everyday school life is very exciting with the addition of robots, goat wrestling, a talking cat, and a tsundere who carries military weapons. Also, lots of visual gags, surreal humor, and surprisingly down-to-earth depictions of actual daily life (sometimes.)

[skybuns]

Player name: Sky
Synopsis: A young middle schooler starts up a sports club in the hopes that one day he'll be able to participate in the National tournament. Fast forward a year later, and his club, consisting of seven people plus one manager are under threat of disbandment if they don't beat the best school in the nation in a practice match. With some luck, they manage to grab more members to form a proper team and succeed in "beating" the best school, and then go on to win the national tournament, fight aliens who are not really aliens and then, at the very end, win the international tournament against all odds.

Lots of physics breaking moves are involved, there are too many characters to even count and almost all rules of the sport are broken at least fifty times.

This is really obvious hahahaha.

Player name: Astral
Synopsis:
#1:
As a coming of age tradition, a young witch must venture out into the world to live for a year. She works as a delivery girl for a local bakery until hard work and life stress her out, and she finds herself losing her witch powers. An artist she met in the woods on a particular delivery comes into town and coaxes her into a vacation away from the city. When she returns home, she hears about the crashing of the city dirigible while making a delivery, and rushes against time to regain her powers in order to save a friend from certain death.

#2:
Child labor laws be damned, a loner boy miner discovers a swaggalicious drill necklace, only to find it turns on a rad space machine. With his delinquent brother-from-another-mother who wants to see the world above the underground, they bust out after beating up a strange monster and befriending a scantily clad sniper woman from the surface. The series follows the boy as he grows from an insecure, lonely, and depressed child into a buff, heroic GARlock that will save the entire universe from destruction with the help of his longtime friends and their mechaception mecha. Everyone you ever loved dies. You don't know whether to stand up and beat your chest or cry profusely; it's great.

So now her best friend makes this girl wear all the fancy costumes and some boy gets buttmad that she lets the cards loose. This story is less about the cards, though, and more about the girl's relationships with the people she loves and how she grows up to become a better, stronger person who truly believes in this phrase — "everything will surely be alright."

[astralfire]

[blinkingrune]

Player name: Rune

[acperience]

Player name: January
Synopsis: A teenage boy wakes up with no memories of the last two years to find that ~surprise, the apocalypse happened~. Also, smoke is coming from his right arm and it's mildly worrying, but what's clearly more important is that a dictatorship has taken over Japan and so he decides almost immediately to go and take it down. Along the way, he ends up adopting a mute loli. Vaguely based off of a fairy tale.

[astralfire]

[laurant]

Player name: Laurant
Synopsis: A group of girls (and their teacher) live at their school as part of a 'school life club'. It seems innocent enough until you realize the truth- they're the only survivors of a zombie outbreak that infected the rest of the school (and presumably the rest of the city), but the cheerful one in the group acts like nothing ever happened and the others seem to play along.

[astralfire]

[radria]

Player name: Ralene
Synopsis: People play games to escape from reality but what happens if the game won't let you return at all? One player has to learn what friendship and companions really are if they're to survive not being able to logout. Oddly enough, this may actually describe a couple of different shows.
