Han̈azüki; A Phantasmagoric Treasure Trove Hidden in Plain Sight!

What is life? I do not know anymore. How could something of this magnitude sneak up on me and somehow keep me in oblivion for the length of nearly half a freaking year?

^Someone explain to me how all of THIS went under my radar somehow? 

 

It's like this freaking franchise was made specifically to suit all my personal tastes >.>

Let's bring out the handy, dandy notebook checklist, shall we? 

ezgif-2-fd1293fccd.gif

Every character is fucking adorable as hell? ✓

Solid and surprisingly nuanced voice acting? 

Absurd, celestial setting with crazy fantasy elements? 

A return to form for the elusive Hugbox genre of cartoons? ✓

Seemingly "important" progression from episode to episode? ✓

Strong focus on world building in a "show don't tell" manner? ✓

An air of mystery surrounding all progression within the show? ✓

Potential treasure trove of exploitability ala image macros, gifs, or legendary shoops? ✓

Flash animation that actually looks "good" and complements the character designs instead of looking like lanky Flash puppet stick figures? 

Show for young kids with mature elements/ dialogue sneaked in without it being cringeworthy or immersion breaking? Holy crap! I thought only MLP: FiM and Ruby Gloom were capable of such. Double check for that! 

You've heard of "videogames that play like movies", right? Well this is basically the antithesis of that. It's a show that feels like you are playing (not watching) a videogame. Kinda like early Adventure Time episodes. And that is a motherfucking triple check for me o,o ✓✓✓

 

So yeah, guys. I mean... I don't even freaking know. You guys like this show? Perhaps you hate it? Despise it with every fiber of your being? >.> Let me know below!

( I vaguely remember hearing the name of this show a few months ago. I think I might have been typing in "Hanamaru Sensation" on Youtube and when I got to "Hana" this popped up on the keyword predictions. Hanazuki Full of Treasures episode 1? Sounds like some stupid hipster, Tumblr bullshit, and then I went on my jolly way without even giving it a second thought. If only I knew the the ramifications of such an act Q.Q )

Also, disclamer for the mods: This is NOT a fanclub thread!  It is a media discussion thread. All members are welcome to put in their two cents, not just fans of the show. Mwahahaha, see that? That's called loopholes, and you better believe I know how to use em! :P  (but yes, all credit goes to @Tilgoreth for introducing me to this splendiferous gift from the gods!)

It really looks like I'm watching someone going on an acid trip, but in a 'feels good' kind-of way.

It does remind me of a cartoon that would give anyone seizures, Problem Solverz. Imagine the Banned Seizure Inducing Pokemon Episode, but magnified and made into a TV show :lol:. However, unlike Problem Solverz, the bright and vibrant colors of Hanazuki: Full of Treasures are NOT seizure inducing.

Not so much of a big fan on cute things in TV shows thanks to MLP Gen 3 and 3.5 (I'll just stick to cute things IRL), but this wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.

Man, I really really REALLY want a nice long extended remix of that opening theme Q.Q I searched all over Youtube and I can't find a thing!

....

Although, I did find something rather, peculiar during my search: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=hanazuki+remix

 

^Hanazuki seems to have an astonishing number of Sparta remixes dedicated to it 0.0 None of them are particularly good, persay, but I wonder why they are so abundant? I really miss how the internet was back when Sparta remixes were big... it brings a tear to me eye tbh xD

Dude, I just watched eps 6-11 and I can't believe how deep this shit is getting >.>

It already far surpassed anything from Ruby Gloom xD

I was actually expecting the show to get worse once Kiazuki entered the picture. She just seemed to be such a generic "moody" character early on. But that wasn't further from the truth! @_@ This show is CONSTANTLY exceeding my expectations... it's such a nice breath of fresh air with all the rampant disappointments of E3 xD

 

Spoiler

 

Also, I can definitely see why people ship these characters lol
