Review Drafts


 * Tokyo School Life (Enjoyable, but creatively empty) (Frustrating endings raises unfortunate questions that are never even alluded to)
 * Draft script underway, 45% complete.
 * The Woman in White (3/4 of this book is a masterpiece of fiction) (Sharp and hilarious humor, gripping tension and mystery, real characters, twist to some aspects of society, last part turned into a monotonous "interview", "Revenge Whodunit", almost like a "Dateline" episode)
 * Blue Is the Warmest Color (Technical gem with ugly stains) (Unfortunate Implications, overly long and unrealistic sex scenes, questions arise (was there ever true love between Adèle and Emma?), dissect flaws in relationship (see IMDb discussion boards, arguments for and against Emma, analyzing Adèle's character), did the audience miss the point of the movie?)

From Highschool Romance

 * Anvilicious: It doesn't matter if a boy identifies as a girl, they should be respected.
 * Artistic License Linguistics: Shoji sounds like a boy's name, and he is supposed to be a girl. Naming him "Shoka", as in the suffix "-ka", like in Japanese form for female names, would have solved the inaccuracy.
 * Although using false information in a school is probably very risky, both for the student and personnel. That would have caused more trouble than necessary.
 * Can't Hold Her Liquor: Hoshi, during her karaoke trip with Shoji. Lampshaded by him.
 * Gratuitous French: "C'est la Vie"
 * Mood Dissonance: If Shoji decides to have lunch with Selina, Hoshi will appear a while later, looking sad and hurt at the whole situation (Shoji thought so himself), even though her sprite shows a smile on her face.
 * Plot Twist: Selina, on the common route, puts Shoji in a compromising situation by asking him to take a shower. If he, Selina will say that
 * The Reveal Prompts Romance: When Shoji
 * Okay, but (Headscratcher) How did she know that? As far as I know, she didn't explain anything
 * Then again, figuring that out would have been the easiest thing ever.
 * But it doesn't explain Shoji's abnormally feminine hips, if the drawing are to be trusted.
 * The Rival/Unknown Rival: Played With. Hoshi is really bad at being a rival to Selina, as the sporty girl says many times. It doesn't help that Hoshi is not really jealous of Selina, who wants Shoji's love and is trying her best to antagonize her "rival."
 * Strangled by the Red String: Played With. Shoji and Hoshi have been best friends for the whole school year, but when he decides to spend his break with her a second time, he very suddenly wants to tell her his feelings.

From Drowninginhorseshoes
(Meta epic series of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic reviews, detailing the downward spiral of the Horse King)


 * Bait and Switch: In his review of "Maud Pie" (9:18), Horseshoe asks his autistic viewers to please not thumb down his video and send hate comments (with a dash of Artist Disillusionment and Hypocritical Humor) just because he's using the word "autistic" in the neutral, objective sense, which can be misinterpreted as negative by its constant misuse, and instead just listen to- "Oh, who am I kidding, you've already done that, haven't you?!"
 * He then makes the point that he could say anything at this point, since they're not listening and, in fact, no one (his words) watches his videos.
 * Series Finale: Horseshoe Finale.
 * Take That: He is very critical of other YouTube brony reviewers' "superficial" analysis and reviews.
 * (Among them, Digibrony, who has since moved on to anime analytical reviews and has cut the "-ny" in his name.)

Rune Zhevitz
Appearance: fault milestone one

A heir of the Zhevitz family. Infamous among the town, even after her death.


 * Chaotic Evil: Type 4
 * Child Prodigy: She came up with so many good concepts for Zhevitz Enterprise that they hired her as an intern consultant. Rudo thinks she helped the company to hurt his feelings, since he's not as imaginative as her, and since he saw what she was capable of doing.
 * Complete Monster:
 * (Draft) The original Rune Zhevitz, infamous among the town of Kadia, was a heir of the Zhevitz family, who owned the most successful company in the country. At a young age, she was bratty and insufferable... but then she violently disfigured a young member of the Gkrouwlies, blinding one of his eyes and inflicting on him chronic pain that will never go away. During the grisly act, she was laughing like crazy. After a massively justified call-out by her mother, Rune decided to stop acting wrong... and got sneakier. She studied the ways of death and perfected the deception of faking her emotions, as she had none. Years later, because of her seemingly perfect behavior, Rune was admitted into a prestigious academy... where she was free to torture and kill animals without anyone noticing, until Rudo did. She relished in his pain when he found out and played with his mind, making chilling comments to him, because she was jealous of his potential as a Zhevitz.
 * Rune Zhevitz was, in every sense of the word, a sociopath, with no empathy and no sense of caring about the consequences of her actions. When she decided that killing animals wasn't enough, she orchestrated her family's ruin, by poisoning her mother, who survived the attack, murdering business men of her company by poisoning their belongings (so as to sabotage a lucrative deal with another country) and killing herself on a dangerous Outer Pole ocean. That was to sap her family's hope. All this resulted in the death of her mother, the breakdown of her father and a change of heart inside her brother.
 * It took her father's sacrifice and her reincarnation inside an automaton built by him to be be able to feel anything and to want her brother's approval, whom at this point has hardened into a cold man. Sara, AKA "Rune", might be a genuinely good person to Ritona and Selphine, her two new friends, but the original Rune Zhevitz will live in infamy as a monster.


 * Creepy Child: At a young age, she said things no child should ever think of, like finding solace in the murder of animals and admiring death.
 * Cute and Psycho: Slasher Smile, Creepy Monotone, you name it.
 * Enfant Terrible
 * Emotionless Girl
 * Driven to Suicide: Rune's body was discovered in a cargo ship, with lots of coloured Mana in her body. Since she knew that going outside the Outer Pole was lethal, Rudo concluded that she took her own life...
 * Never My Fault: She blamed, saying he "started it" with a comment.
