For years, anime has been one of the most well-known genres of animation, produced in the finest studios of Japan.
Like cartoons made in Western nations, anime is a part of pop culture and is capable of telling wild and near-unbelievable stories, full of life and characters. Be it an adaptation of manga or something wholly original, the stories told within anime are an artistic work of beauty.
The appeal of anime is so strong, it has captured the minds of many people around the world, with handfuls of anime lovers falling in love with the female protagonists depicted within the universe shown in the anime.
Years ago, anime was just a piece of pop culture.
Now, it has become more than just fiction, thanks to a series of unforeseen events that unfolded in almost recent times.
Welcome to Anime Island.
Located many miles from the shores of the land known as the Mushroom Kingdom, Anime Island was a seemingly inviting paradise where anime is real. As you approached it, you could see palm trees, gorgeous beaches with grassy fields, and a palace with anime-related symbols upon it's walls.
And you could even see living, breathing anime characters walking around. None of them were alone. Many of them, especially women, could be seen accompanied by those who were major fans of anime, and manga.
From One Piece to High School of The Dead to Dragon Ball Z to Naruto to Bleach, anime is so beloved, Anime Island was a paradise for Anime fans...
...Regardless of the island's darkest of secrets.
Upon the highest floor of the palace, a woman stood at the window. With bright orange hair that contorted into a bushy ponytail, eyes of light green, and a curved body accentuated by a revealing dark and fiery orange-red bra and matching leather shorts with boots upon her feet, this is no ordinary woman.
This is Yoko Littner, known as one of Gurren Laggan's toughest (and hottest) waifu fighters years ago. Now, she'd become captivated by the wonder of Anime Island. But in reality, she had become a prisoner.
A chain collar sat around Yoko's neck, and, as she gazed out the window. In those moments, she thought of the freedom that had been taken from her by those who crafted the island.
Yoko felt a yank upon her collar, and a hand stroked her shoulder. Another yank, and she turned around, facing the nerdy dark-tan bodysuit-clad green chameleon with bright orange lips as dread filled the lovely Yoko Littner's heart once again. She knew who he is, and this was one of those days when he gave off Jabba the Hutt vibes.
"Soon, you will appreciate me." The chameleon said as he held up a wine glass.
Dear readers and explorers, this is the King of Anime Island, one of the weebiest of weeboos, the ultimate anime nerd;
Anime King Francis.
And he is more than a nerd. He is, as some people would call him, the Nerd King of Anime Island or the Weeboo Island King. While many respected and revered him, he had become infamously known by many throughout the world in the few years since the day of his ascension from Anime Cartel leader to King of Anime Island.
Since she became a captivated resident of his land, Yoko dreaded Francis, even when he showed his "generosity". Not just to her, but to every woman he'd "invited to the island" or had created through the ink that powered the magic pen known as Inkweaver.
Francis took a sip of his wine, then he leaned in, and kissed Yoko upon the lips while caressing her smooth shoulder. Yoko shuddered, and her heart pounded, to receive a kiss from someone like the anime king was a moment dreaded by many of the women who resided in the palace itself.
"Would you like a drink?" Francis offered.
"N-N-No thank you, Lord Francis." Yoko stammered, "If I may, my lord, will you unlock the chains that bind me?"
Francis laughed. "Unlock your chains?! Why, Yoko? You're beautiful, and Anime Island is your home, forever." He told her, "My circle of waifus wouldn't be complete without the ever-so gorgeous Yoko Littner, and you're lucky to see the sun every day. Eventually, my dear, you will grow to become more accepting of your king's love."
He wiped the tear that rolled down Yoko's cheek, then he licked her neck seductively, and finished his drink of wine. Francis handed his glass to a Goomba to be cleansed, then he departed the room, leaving Yoko to stare out the window while chained to a nearby pillar as the sun shone upon her nearly tear-stained face.
Anime had been a massive fixture in Francis' mind for many long years, ever since he'd seen the first few episodes of Dragon Ball Z, with his first ever anime crush being Bulma. Over time, with each anime show he saw, the chameleon's love for it, and female anime characters in general, grew and grew until he couldn't stop thinking about anime.
Eventually, he dreamed of having his anime waifu coming to life, and it would become more than a dream of waifus. It would culminate with him dreaming of an island full of anime girls.
Francis began seeking to fulfill his dream of anime women coming alive, so he could finally spend all the time in the world with his greatest crushes. While he was aware of the fact real anime women walked the earth, with Saiko being one of them, none of his efforts to get the gorgeous animated females he wanted ever worked.
Then, in the midst of a crisis that saw the banning of anime and manga-related content in the Mushroom Kingdom, a major opportunity revealed itself to the chameleon and his gang known as the Anime Cartel;
Inkweaver, created by the famed axolotl manga artist known as Axol, capable of bringing anime characters to life with its power source being none other than special Inkling ink.
Following the successful lifting of the anime ban, after the axolotl anime artist departed without granting Francis and his gang's wishes, the chameleon devised a plan that would change the world forever, culminating in anime island and a global anime kingdom where Japanese animation and manga ruled the earth.
For the first phase of the plan, the Cartel captured Axol with assistance from contacts in Japan, and brought him to their secret base on what would ultimately become Anime Island. Then, using Inkweaver, Francis began kidnapping Inklings before the annual Splatfest could begin, and harvested their ink using special machines called Ink Zuccers.
With each ounce of ink drained from the Inklings, the Inkweaver became stronger, and stronger. The near pinnacle of the ink-draining plan came with the Ink Zuccer 2000, which drained the Inkling girl Meggy Spletzer of all of her ink. In those fateful hours, Francis was close to fulfilling his dream...
...And all he had to worry about was Mario, SMG4, and their friends. The Mushroom Kingdom military, consisting of former Anime Secret Service officers and the SMG4 Crew, raided the island, and confronted Francis after initially believing Axol to be the villain.
On that day, despite the "heroes" efforts, Francis and his forces were victorious, proving themselves to be stronger, and what remained of the invasion force either perished or were wiped out. With no one left to stop him, Francis charged Inkweaver to its full potential, and, within a matter of hours, Anime Island had come to be.
He had it all. His anime queen, his waifus, his old cartel associates to share the waifus with, and the honor of being the anime king. It was everything that Francis had ever dreamed of.
Many of you may be confused, you may be recalling a different turn of events where the SMG4 Crew defeated the Anime Cartel, where Meggy lived and became human, where Francis' dreams were spoiled.
That is in a different world, a different timeline. And don't worry about the girl you know as Meggy Spletzer. She is not dead.
Francis picked up a cyan cape that a Naruto-cosplaying Koopa was carrying, and slid it over his shoulders with a smile. He walked down the alluring, light-gray and tan-colored marble halls, with anime-themed guards and Super Sayan outfit-clad anime men bowing to him as he passed them by.
Grinning in a maniacal manner, Francis turned to the left, and strolled down the stairs into a dark almost-basement level room just as a uniformed guard with a trimmed haircut, looking almost akin to an N64 GoldenEye guard, walked by with an empty tray.
'She's eaten. That's good.' Francis thought.
He turned another corner to a small whimpering sound, finding an orange-haired girl in a revealing white dress waiting for him, chained to a wall, with a sweet freckled face slightly caked with tears. The girl looked up, and whispered "oh god", knowing what was to come. It was Monday, Meggy Monday.
The girl was Meggy Spletzer, once an Inkling, now a human waifu and prisoner/resident of Anime Island after all of her ink was drained away.
"Good day, Meggy..." Francis hissed.
"Oh, shit. No. Please." Meggy whimpered, "What else do you want from me?"
"Love, Meggy." Francis advanced closer, "Love from you, my waifu."
He stepped closer, and caressed the former Inkling's smooth arms while looking into her fearful brown-red eyes. Francis eyed her with aggressive love, despite Meggy never returning those affections, and moved close enough to stroke her shoulders and licked his lips in a hungry manner.
"No, no, no. Get away, you murderous bastard!" Meggy wailed, "Don't you have enough here? Why would I ever love you? AFTER WHAT YOU DID TO DESTI? TO MY PARENTS? TO MY FRIENDS?"
The former squid girl's wails were music to Francis' ears on some days, especially a day like this. She could beg all she wanted, but the chameleon knew how this little story was going to end. He pressed his advance, and his tongue emerged, with Meggy letting out another whimper before the Anime King licked her smooth, freckled face.
Meggy, her mind flooding with terrible memories of the last few years of her life from the day she became human all the way to now, winced and gasped. And then, Francis moved a little further, and kissed the frightened former squid upon the lips.
"Mmmm, mmm, mmmmmm!" Meggy whimpered as she found herself kissing her captor like before, for what felt like the 13th time in her years of residing on the island.
Francis pulled away and smirked evilly at his waifu/prisoner. "You will always be so tasty... So feisty... So... fresh." He purred, "I may invite you up to dinner with the others later... unless you want to be alone in the dark? By the way, you're looking a little pale, I think you need... sunlight."
With a chuckle, Francis departed the room, and ordered the closest guard to take Meggy outside for some sunlight... and special tentacle time. The guard, a Monty Mole, saluted, and called for a pair of Koopas, then the guards went inside the small dungeon and dragged Meggy out moments later while Francis watched from a distance.
He made his way to the throne room on the next floor above, near the highest tower, and found the island's latest pair of visitors waiting; Two Aura Bora anime cosplayers from the not-so distant land of Port Aurora.
One cosplayed as Ash Ketchum and the other cosplayed as One Punch Man.
"Ah, I welcome you to Anime Island, my friends." Francis said in an inviting manner, "Please, feel free to stay in the palace as you like. My servants will take you to your rooms."
"Lord Francis." The first Aura Bora bowed, "We thank you for your hospitality."
"Please accept this tribute from our homeland." The second Aura Bora offered the nerdy chameleon king a small Port Aurora key chain that included a little replica of the town's long dead hero, Sherriff Aloysius Bori.
Francis accepted the tribute with a grin. He'd never been to Port Aurora up to this point, but he was more than happy to accept visitors from that land, and he was aware that his forces had made headways in that region for a while now. Francis ordered a pair of guards to show the visitors to their rooms, then he sat down upon his throne of power.
Just right by the throne, ready to be used, was the Inkweaver itself, once wielded by the famous Axol. Francis picked it up, and tapped its tip upon the floor. In a moment, he summoned replicas of Goku from Dragon Ball and Satsuma from One Punch Man.
Both characters faced each other, and as Francis tapped the Inkweaver again, the two replicas began engaging in battle while a shield surrounded the chameleon's throne. Goku and Satsuma threw many punches at one another with Satsuma evading the former's strikes.
'Get him.' Francis thought.
As Goku prepared to attack again, Satsuma swooped in, and punched the Sayan in the face, knocking him out. The defeated Dragon Ball fighter faded away, then Satsuma bowed to Francis and vanished from existence before the anime king tapped Inkweaver's tip on the floor again, summoning a TV with an episode of High School of The Dead playing.
"Oooooh, episodes of zombie anime get me in a mood!" Francis laughed, and began munching on popcorn provided by Squid Girl from, well, the anime Squid Girl.
"Sir!" A Goomba rushed in.
"Yes, Mizuuk?" Francis paused his show, giving his minion full eye-contact.
"We have Ayuko-chan of Golden Boy for you, and in her bathing suit as you requested."
"Perfect! Bring her in!"
A door opened, and Francis leaned forward as Ayuko Hayami, the former-Olympic swimmer-turned swim coach from Golden Boy's 4th chapter "Swimming In The Sea Of Love", stepped towards the throne, wearing the very one-piece swimsuit she'd worn in the episode while around the pool.
"Come closer, Ayuko-chan." Francis purred in an ominous, but seductive tone.
Ayuko obeyed, walking slowly, and the green chameleon grinned as she came closer, and closer with each passing second. The anime king gestured for her to kneel, even as Ayuko stared at him blankly. After a moment, with slight impatience, Francis rolled his eyes and tapped the tip of Inkweaver on the floor next to the swim coach.
In an instant, a green-ish halo of sorts surrounded Ayuko's head, and she stared hypnotically at Francis before kneeling in front of him.
"What is your wish, master?" Ayuko asked.
"Sit upon my lap, waifu." Francis instructed.
The swimsuit-clad former Olympian climbed onto the chameleon's pudgy body, and sat on his lap. Francis had Ayuko put her arms around him, then he said, "Ayuko. Make love to me."
Obediently, Ayuko kissed Francis on the lips, and the chameleon grasped her hips, kissing the swim instructor in an aggressive fashion. They kissed away, exchanging tongues for a brief moment due to Francis having the tongue of a normal lizard/frog, and then, he resumed playing the show he was watching and had Ayuko watch it with him.
"This is an entertaining show, master." Ayuko said in a hypnotic tone.
"Name someone who doesn't love High School of The Dead." Francis told her.
"I know no one who doesn't."
"Yes!" Francis boasted, and he held Ayuko closer while bringing out the chain, as the show continued on, and as more waifus came to join the anime king in the throne room as time went on, even after the HSOTD episode had ended and the TV summoned by the Inkweaver had vanished. On Anime Island under Francis, there is pleasure that hides darkness...
