Sword Night!

In Katanagatari, the most notable work by novelist and mad wizard NISIOISIN, protagonists Togame and Shichika wander across post-sengoku Japan looking for 12 cursed swords said to have turned the tide of the previous era. The journey takes place over a full year, with one sword collected every month, and each month is covered in one volume of the LN and one hour-long episode of the anime. Being a mad wizard, NISIOISIN released one novel a month over the course of a whole year, mirroring the pair's travels in something like real time. The anime did the same.

Hey, do you know what would be fun? Making your friends sit through the original broadcast schema of the show. It would be like a Haruhi broadcast watch order bit, but even dumber and higher commitment. You could add in some other edo-pastiche shows and make it a kind of monthly anime club. Maybe you could make some cool posters advertising the schedule. Maybe I could do this.

This project is kind of an iteration on a theme of fake kids' menus and badly xeroxed worksheets you got in school that I'd been using for some other projects beforehand.

The hanafuda card patterns have been ripped from this collection here. The bleeding colors and grainy material felt like they'd be fun to work with.
