I HAVEN'T USED SPARKLETEXT IN LIKE, YEARS
Levi, what is this?
This is PIMP MY CANON, a meme for doing exactly what it says on the tin. Here, you are going to sell your canon to your fellow bubble players!
Fellow bubble players, peruse the selection and maybe find a new canon to check out!
Okay how?
HOWEVER YOU HAVE TO. Post reasons why your canon is awesome! Post summaries, post pages, post gifs, post links to videos, post screenshots, post links to playthroughs, WHATEVER YOU HAVE TO.
Just uh, be mindful. Don't insert put too many images in your post (especially if they're big! Link to big things!) and link to videos rather than embed them. We want to make this accessible to everyone and go easy on connections.
Feel free to add to other people's posts with information of your own, or ask questions about a canon that's caught your eye! The idea here is to spread the love, after all!
Try to keep your spoilers to a minimum, too. If you think something might be spoilery, be sure to mark it!
(also be sure to hit preview before posting, broken codes cramping your style sucks)

... Despite the ridiculous title, the basic premise of "SEARCHING FOR ~HERO RELICS~", and the fairly easygoing first episode, it is not a gag anime. In fact, it happens to be very fond of its mood whiplash, going from light-hearted and comedic to WHOOPS SOMEONE'S TRAGIC PAST and/or LOOK PEOPLE BEING BRUTALLY SLAUGHTERED, usually within the same episode.
It's essentially about a Crapsack World that runs on Gray and Grey Morality where War is Hell, Fantastic Racism is rampant, Aristocracy is Evil, everyone has had a Dark and Troubled Past (meaning that yes, the cast is a Dysfunction Junction), Well-Intentioned Extremists are generally the only people to get things done, Cruel and Unusual Deaths are the usual, Infant Immortality is ruthlessly averted, the Powers That Be aren't very nice, Sacrificial Lions are everywhere, and others that are spoilers or that I can't think of at the top of my head.
... Aka the world sucks and people are weird. Hilarity/angst/wtf is going on ensues. Considering how large and versatile the cast is, you're bound to find at least one character you like. |D The main ones include a lazy mage who pretends to be weaker than he really is, a badass snarky heroine/Cloud Cuckoo Lander, a ~charming~ troll/manipulative bastard, aka the trio in the center.
It has lots of eye candy on both sides (and those are hardly the only examples) and so much Ho Yay between the two male leads that it's practically canon. It also has some very lovely openings and endings. C:
... Oh, and crazy laughter. I still hate you, Jae.
You can find all the episodes subbed by Funimation on Youtube. o/
Note: The anime is adapted from a light novel series and covers the prequel, so be warned that it ends on a cliffhanger and wraps up little, sales mean a second season is unlikely, and that the novels may never be fully translated sob. /)_(\ So, uh, if you want a series that wraps everything up and don't want to have to do a lot of reading and research, then LOLHeroes might not be for you—
