Chapter Text

As a group: I'd like to think that sometimes the boys' tastes would overlap with one another. Some shows would be watched for the story, while other shows they would watch for a good laugh or the visuals / aesthetics would look cool.

• Aggretsuko,
• Detroit: Metal City
• Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad
• Kaikan Phrase
• Death Note
• Jojo's Bizarre Adventure
• Black Butler
• The Wallflower (Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge)
• Kill la Kill
• Panty and Stocking

Pickles: Old school anime, not genre bound, trippy visuals, and the occasional Ghibli film. He knew about anime before anyone, he is more of a casual watcher and gets high to the more crazier stuff. He's ground zero and introduced Toki to anime first.

• Urusei Yatsura, Yawara
• Cutie Honey
• Ranma 1/2
• Mononoke
• Serial Experiment Lain
• Tatami Galaxy
• Welcome to the NHK
• Ponyo
• Howl's Moving Castle
• Spirited Away
• Cowboy Bebop
• Akira
• FlCl
• SlayerS
• the tenshi muyo franchise
• Outlaw Star

Toki: He'd lean more heavily into magical girl, idol / music, and slice of life anime. Sometimes romance and shojo. I'd say him and Pickles would have started watching Full Moon O Sagashite.

• Visual Prison
• Nana
• Hypnosis Mic
• Precure (mahou tsukai, go princess, Suite, and Hugtto)
• Pripara
• Aikatsu
• Full moon O Sagashite
• Azumanga Daioh
• Lucky Star
• Nichijou
• Ouran High School host club
• Karin (Chibi Vampire)
• Fruits Basket

Skwisgaar: Band anime and artsy, full of metaphor, shows. (Works of Kunihiko Ikuhara and Satoshi Kon specifically). Toki would have introduced Skwisgaar to Madoka, but later on he would recommend him Show by Rock.

• Paranoia Agent
• Paprika
• Perfect Blue
• Bang Dream
• Bocchi the Rock
• K-on
• Band Girls Cry
• Show by Rock
• Sarazanmai
• Yuri Kuma
• Revolutionary Girl Utena
• Madoka Magica franchise
• Princess Tutu
• Kuuchuu Buranko

Nathan: Seinen, mystery, and horror, anything super bloody and violent. Pickles would have introduced him to some older stuff and then went down the bloody grimdark anime rabbit hole on his own. But of course he has some outliers in his recommendation list. He has a soft spot for the isekai cooking anime genre.

• Higurashi (When they Cry)
• DanganRonpa
• Elfin Leid
• Fist of the North Star
• Berserk
• Record of Ragnorok
• Deadman Wonderland
• Devilman Crybaby
• Parasyte
• Tokyo Ghoul
• Gnatz
• Dead Leaves
• Bludgeoning Angel Dokuro-chan
• Campfire cooking in another world
• Restaurant from another world
• Dungeon Meshi

Murderface: A variety of Mecha, racing, and historical dramas / anime set in the past, with a dash of Ecchi / Harem. Didn't see the appeal until he saw the whole Panty Stocking transformation sequence. Afterward, Pickles introduced him to Gundam Wing and he was hooked.

• Initial D
• Future GPX Cyber Formula
• Speed Racer
• Overtake Mobile suit Gundam (Wing, 00, The Witch from Mercury)
• Macross (Delta and frontier)
• Neon Genisis Evangelion
• Demon Slayer
• The Story of Saiunkoku
• Golden Kamuy
• Hellsing
• Apothecary Diaries
• Ishuzoku Rebyuazu (interspecies reviewers)
• Love Hina
• Magical Girl Destroyers

Skwisgaar

• He's the only member of Dethklok who I think pushes back his cuticles. Has a nail care routine that can only be described as nail salon like. Sometimes helps Nathan with his nail polish.
• Skwisgaar's least favorite vegetable is asparagus, it has an earthy flavor he's not fond of
• His favorite comic growing up was "Asterix and the Normans" which was about Vikings invading the main character's village

Toki

• Has a nightlight in the shape of a kitty cat, it also has a feature where if you press its nose, a sea of stars would glow from its head.
• I see him as the type to have a small collection of those glass clown dolls. The ones with the porcelain heads and plush bodies.
• Tends to gnaw on chewy things, edible or not. The band usually tries to give him sugarless chewing gum so he doesn't chew on pencil grippers or rubbery fidget toys. (Or Polly pocket clothes)

Murderface

• His body naturally wakes up in the wee hours of the morning to use the restroom. He finds it very annoying and has a hard time falling back asleep.
• He sleeps with a weighted blanket. It helps on lonely nights, especially helpful after the events of AotD.
• He can spit water out of his tooth gap like a water gun. He has a pretty good aim with it much to the chagrin of his bandmates.

Pickles

• Has once purchased dreadlocks extensions, but it didn't work out because they don't have his exact shade of red hair.
• He owns those bootleg shirts you'd find in tourist trap stores. He buys one whenever the band goes on a trip or frienderbender
• Allergic to dogs, when they had to perform for that pet neutering benifit concert, he had to take a lot of allergy medication. He also kept sneezing a lot during the rehearsal.

Nathan

• As a somewhat hopeless romantic on the inside, his favorite flower is the black rose. Because in his own words "thorns are brutal".
• Sometimes, during downtime, he likes to play tackle football with the guys. He had to teach Toki and Skwisgaar about American football and how to play. It's become one of Toki's favorite games to play with Nathan.
• We know that Nathan has a bit of an insecurity when it comes to the bit of belly ponch he's got. So he's been trying to eat a bit healthier. Dark chocolate soy milk is a guilty pleasure of his.
