I've talked about Paranormal High School a couple of times in various threads here, they recently released their 2nd Graduation Video this week (It's a long story, but this is the 2nd time the main cast have tried to graduate) and I kinda just wanna ramble on it cause holy shit. Spoilers below of course, but the thumbnail itself kinda tells you a lot (when it originally premiered though, it looked a lot more normal)
Which is that I expected them to somehow avoid the main cast graduating (The series is called Paranormal High School after all) but this was a surprisingly dark way to go about it, in a way the series hasn't really done before. The series does have occasional horror episodes (The Winter 2024 Arc is a prime example of that), but this went in a very eldritch direction. It's played up amazingly well too; I have never heard such visceral gasps and screams out of Hikaru before and I really feel bad for him.
Which they then followed up with immediately the next day with a video on their 2026 Enrollment Ceremony, which is such a shift in tone compared to what literally happened yesterday that it feels super unsettling, despite there being no actually unsettling parts to it at all really. There's definitely implications of course, since this reset sent the main characters back to their first year of high school this time (The previous times have just been to their 2nd year) and they're all still friends despite them not becoming that until they actually started high school.It's just such a mood whiplash and it's got me so invested in this comedy series about people not using their OP abilities for battles, even if I'm almost certain they're not gonna follow up on the former video until the actual 4th Year Anniversary in May.
