->''Long ago in ancient times, there were cool forces that raged explosive ninja battles for the throne. But there was one group that decided to rise up, and enter victory for which the other groups could not partake! It was a beautiful display of power and beauty and strength. However, another group decided to stand up to this apocalyptic world with elegant samurai! And thus, today's world was born. But that isn't what this story is about. This story is about a girl in modern-day Tokyo night.''
-->-- '''OpeningNarration''' from the first episode

''Tsuki Desu'' is a Website/YouTube and Nico Nico hosted {{Fanime}} series by Anthony W.H., started in the Spring of 2012. [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent Najika Tsuki]] attends the night school Sugoi Gakuen Academy School in modern-day Tokyo, living a seemingly normal life (albeit with [[RunningGag no friends]]). She pines after StudentCouncilPresident, Yukari Bueno, spends her free time with cats, and laments that she definitely has no friends. But that all changes when NewTransferStudent Chitose Miyamoto shows up one day, and he seems to want to be Najika's friend....!

This is the second series released by master fanime creator Anthony, who already released a fanime of similar QUALITY, known as WebAnimation/QuestOfLaizen.

Current episodes you can watch on [[https://www.youtube.com/user/QuestofLaizen the creator's channel]], or on [[https://www.nicovideo.jp/tag/tsuki%20desu English Nico Nico]] for commenting enjoyment.

----
!!Tropes that ''Tsuki Desu" provides an example of:

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: Sakooruh and Cheetoes are good examples. Though Chitose, when Yukari pronounces it right, Chitose specifically asks him to call him Cheetos. More of an InSeriesNickname.
* ArtisticLicenseHistory: [[UsefulNotes/ThreeKingdomsShuWeiWu Ryuubi Gentoku]] and [[UsefulNotes/GuanYu Kan'u Unchou]] were from China, not Japan. Also Najika refers to them by the Japanese pronuntiation of their names.
* AnimeHair: Principal Daisuke...looks like he has a giant green mustache on his head.
* AnimeThemeSong: The intro "Drivin' Through The Night" from ''Manga/IkkiTousen'', and the ending theme "Tokimeki no Doukasen" from ''Manga/FushigiYuugi''.
%%* BigBad: Daisuke.
* BilingualBonus: Najika works for one episode at [[GratuitousJapanese Hazukashi Diner]]. Hazukashi means [[spoiler: I'm embarassed]].
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Najika defeats her evil side, but finds out that while she was trapped in time, Yukari and Chitose lived their lives without her. They eventually die of old age and reunite with her, Kureno and Daisuke in the afterlife. Though it's shown years later that Najika has reincarnated, meeting with a now adult Sakura once again.]]
* CanonWelding: The last few episodes heavily imply ''WebAnimation/QuestOfLaizen'' took place in this verse's past.
* CaptainErsatz:
** Anyone who is familiar with the *ahem* popular fanime ''Yin Yang'' will see quite a few similarities between the two.
** [[spoiler:Episode 5 gives us Bunny and Kitten, who are unmistakable copies of Jessie and James from Franchise/{{Pokemon}}]]
* CerebusSyndrome: The plot becomes far more intense after [[spoiler: Najika goes back in time.]] Made all the more obvious because the [[EyeCatch Eye Catches]] that referenced previous fanime vanish right around then.
* ADeathInTheLimeLight: [[spoiler:Sakura performs a HeroicSacrifice near the end of the episode. Subverted when she shows up in TheStinger of the final episode.]]
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Count how many times "Tsuki Desu" is mentioned in the first episode, or how many times Najika muses on her lack of friends.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Yukari, with Chitose as the Tritagonist. [[spoiler: The same applies to their [[IdenticalGrandson ancestors]] in Feudal Japan after they replace them in story role, with King "Yukari" Ryuubi Gentoku playing SupportingLeader with "Cheetos" Kan'u Unchou as his KnightInShiningArmor NumberTwo.]]
%%* TheDragon: Kureno.
%%* EvenTheGuysWantHim: The school bullies' reaction to Cheetos
%%* EvilVersusEvil: Though Daisuke's faction is the most focused on.
* FamousAncestor: As it turns out, Yukari and Chitose are descendants of Liu Bei and Guan Yu from ''[[UsefulNotes/ThreeKingdomsShuWeiWu The Three Kingdoms]]''.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: Najika spends her free time with the local cats
%%* GratuitousJapanese
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: When Najika travels back in time, the story drops most of the supernatural aspects and becomes a story more explicitly about ''[[UsefulNotes/ThreeKingdomsShuWeiWu The Three Kingdoms]]''....in Japan (see ArtisticLicenseHistory above). Major characters Chitose and Yukari are PutOnABus and replaced by their [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Ancestors]].
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:Chitose claims to have made one before the series began, having formerly belonged to a group trying to acquire Najika's heart. [[InformedFlaw This isn't brought up much at all after its being mentioned.]]]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Chitose and Yukari, after [[spoiler: Najika leaves them behind when going to the past.]]
* HiddenDepths: Sakura, of all people [[spoiler:It turns out she is an alien from the moon, who forgot her own origins. Her love for Najika causes her to fight for her sake.]]
* IWillWaitForYou: Turns out that while Najika was trapped in time, [[spoiler: Yukari and Chitose refused to accept her disappearance, forever waiting for her until eventually dying of old age. They do reunite with Najika in death though.]]
* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:Yukari and Chitose have counterparts who are physically indistinguishable from the present counterparts, who take over their descendants' major character status. [[TheStoic Yukari]] and [[TheGoodKing his ancestor Ryuubi Gentoku]] have a few more differences in personality than [[NiceGuy Chitose]] and [[KnightInShiningArmor his counterpart Kan'u Unchou]]. Interestingly, DoppelgangerReplacementLoveInterest is mostly averted, though that isn't to say there's a complete lack of ShipTease.]]
* IdenticalStranger: [[spoiler:A little girl named Nagika appears in TheStinger of the finale, with no indication of any connection to the similarly-named heroine.]]
* InformedAbility: Apparently within hours of transferring to SGAS, Cheetos became "the most popular boy in school"
* KindheartedCatLover: Najika loves to play with cats instead of going home, because "her stepmother is a [[GratuitousJapanese baka-idiot]]."
* LargeHam:
** Cheetos and Daisuke are probably the biggest offenders, though special mention goes to the likes of Kureno, Shu, and Sakura.
** Najika flip-flops between being hammy and being a DullSurprise. Given the nature of this show, it's pretty obviously done on purpose.
%%* LoveTriangle: One that can be seen coming from miles away.
* MacGuffin: [[spoiler:Najika's heart, the Tsuki Desu.]]
* MaidCafe: Najika visits and works at one briefly, called [[GratuitousJapanese Hazukashi Diner]].
* MeaningfulName: Najika Tsuki - Rainbow Moon
* MindScrew: A brief moment in Episode 1, when Najika has what can only be described as a bad trip while she stares at the school bullies.
%%* MoonRabbit
* NiceGuy: Chitose never really does anything mean. In fact, [[spoiler: despite being a Succubus, there's no indication that he's bringing any harm to Najika via their relationship.]]
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: [[spoiler: Yukari was brought back to life via magic, and can remove his body parts at will and use his bones as projectiles. Being a zombie doesn't seem to affect much besides [[DullSurprise his voice acting]], though.]]
* OutOfFocus: Episode 5 is the only time Sakura does much of anything.
%%* SmittenTeenageGirl: Najika towards Chitose and Yukari
%%* ValleyGirl: Sakura.
* PoorlyDisguisedPilot: According to WordOfGod, the special's GainaxEnding with previously unseen characters was meant to be this for a second season of WebAnimation/QuestOfLaizen, [[WhatCouldHaveBeen an idea that is presently shelved...]]
%%* RetGone: [[spoiler:Cheetos, by the end of episode 2.]]
* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:Yukari is a Zombie, demonstrated by his foot-removing technique in episode 2.]]
** As of episode 3, [[spoiler:Cheetos is apparently a succubus.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Najika. She's shy, socially-awkward and prefers cats to people.
%%* StylisticSuck
%%* SugarAndIcePersonality: Yukari.
%%* TookALevelInBadass:
%% ** Sakura in episode 5.
%% ** Najika subtly throughout the second half of the series.
* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: Najika, Yukari and Cheetos in the end. They even reunite with Daisuke and Kureno.]]
%%* TroubledButCute: Both Yukari and Cheetos.
%% * WhamEpisode: 7.
* YouCantGoHomeAgain: Najika becomes trapped in the past at some point. Not only she never finds a way to return to her own time, but [[spoiler: Yukari and Chitose grow up without her. Thankfully she does end up reuniting with them....in death.]]
