Big fan of the anime so I've started reading the manga. Goofy as hell. I will die for all of these characters.

Love ouran high school host club but it’s actually so insane so I’ve been making my bf watch it with me, because he needs to experience it too. It’s funny though and yeah it’s been fun watching it, renge is his favorite character at the moment. We just got to the part where she’s at the bed and breakfast on summer vacation and the whole summer vacation arc is my favorite so thats exciting :3
hes also an artist and we’re vending at a school event soon and he’s thinking of making either stickers or prints of all of them in the knight outfits they had in the episode with the girls school.

📺my taste in anime and manga is a bit all over the place, but if we’re like-minded, then you might just absolutely love these <3
this isn’t in any particular order
01. wonder egg priority — last three eps or so are rushed and the ending is kinda wonky but overall a good take of the magical girl genre
02. the ice guy and his cool female colleague — just a chill romance with some supernatural sprinkled in
03. bibliomania — obscure asf with no official english translation and the original japanese release was limited I believe
04. frieren: beyond journey’s end — favourite anime alongside flip flappers. a slice of life fantasy
05. apothecary diaries — fun mystery set in a fictional country inspired by imperial china
06. the summer hikaru died — a promising horror with implied queer characters. take what I said with a grain of salt since it’s been a while since I read it
07. kaguya-sama: love is war — hilarious romcom about rich high schoolers minus the protagonist
08. chainsaw man — a fever dream ngl, but a good one
09. uzumaki — classic horror. has some romance elements tbh
10. haikyuu —my original favourite sports anime ^^ it holds a special place in my heart
11. blue lock + episode nagi — my absolute fave sports manga rn even though I can’t take it seriously at times. kaiser’s my favourite red flag
12. girls’ last tour — end of the world slice of life. bittersweet
13. violet evergarden — fyi the relationship is weird, but I just choose to ignore it. aside from that, everything else is beautiful though)
14. flip flappers — so very underrated! the fandom is pretty much nonexistent. sci-fi magical girls)
15. good night punpun — definitely not for the faint of heart. depression incarnate and has many mature themes and triggering topics

Alright y'all, standards have gotten a little lax around here and rec quality has taken a dip (I'm including myself in this). Here are some pointers for High Rec Standards.
ANATOMY OF A REC: TITLE—This is the rec or recommendations. This is NOT a lead in. Type exactly what you're recommending here. What appears in the Title should finish this sentence, "I recommend _____."
BODY—This supports the rec and anything goes. Supporting statements, supporting essays, additional recs, you can get silly, you can pontificate. You can do anything you want. Except putting the main rec down here. Where does it go? That's right. In the Title 👆
IMAGE—No rules. Add one to preference. It can be relevant or a non sequitur.
LINK—I highly recommend links but it's not as important as the Title or Body. If you are recommending something that has an online presence (music, movies, websites, products, etc.), Piffies want to click on it immediately. Don't make us google. Be kind a leave a link.
EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself.
ANTI-RECS: They exist and they are valid recs. "Anti-Rec: _____" clearly communicates this is something best avoided. But a better way format this type of Rec is to use a modifier or verb that flows with "I recommend _____." Ex. I recommend... Not Eating Tacks, Avoiding Area X, Leaving Off the Anchovies, etc.—(Formatting Anti-Recs this way first recommended by tyler the Creator)
ANATOMY OF AN ASK: TITLE—This is the question or topic of the Ask. Asks can solicit advice or start a discussion. You have some flexibility here because the Ask is expected to be expounded upon in the body if it needs more context. Just be clear. Again, this is not a lead in. Be direct and ask the question or state the topic.
BODY—Provide more context. Narrow the recommendation field. Add relevant links. Remember, the Ask goes in the Title 👆
EMOJI—No rules. Express yourself.
ANSWERING AN ASK—Recs on Asks can break style as dictated by the Ask. If the Ask is looking for Recs, give Recs following style. If it's asking for opinions, give your opinion. Asking for links? Give links! Respond however you would respond some someone IRL. Asks start a conversation so you can be more conversational. But keep in mind that these Recs will appear in the main feed. So where you can maintain Rec style, do so.
Example: WHAT’S YOUR CURRENT LETTERBOXD TOP 4?
A response to this with High Rec Standards would look something like this: TITLE—Lists your current Letterboxd top 4. You are recommending these four movies. BODY—Free reign here. Drop your Letterboxd @. Talk about the movies. Make a quip. Emoji. Relevant links. Nothing. IMAGE—Optional. Screenshot of your top four. Frame from a movie. Dealer's choice. LINK—Add your Letterboxd profile only if you want to be found. EMOJI—Whatever. But it'd be nice if it was relevant.
DISCLAIMER: This is a living community document! These are only my recommendations for a foundation. Debate and Discussion of proper style are Encouraged. Any editions and changes to the PI.FYI STYLE GUIDE will be notated with attribution.
Changelog: 07.26.2024—Clarified a Rec is not limited to one recommendation. Recs can recommend multiple things. Thanks to shegoestoanotherschool for identifying the issue. / Added guidance for Anti-Rec format. 02.11.2025—Moved SpongeBob Bubble Blowing Technique video link from the top level into the body ("some pointers") so the embed wouldn't override the High Quality instructional graphic.
