History Anime / HousingComplexC

* DidntThinkThisThrough: [[spoiler:Once Yuri is confronted with the revelation that she's attempting to murder a genuine god above the one she worships, she has no idea how to respond at first-- until the blood and gore of her own parents are unceremoniously dumped on her head. It's at this point that she has a VillainousBreakdown and desperately attempts to plead fealty to Kimi in some hopes of survival, saying she'll kill whoever she needs to for Kimi's pleasure. .. despite the fact that Kimi ''just'' outlined how pissed off she was that the Koshides murdered everyone in the first place and ruined her SecretTestOfCharacter. Yuri's inability to empathize and her sheer panic gets her [[CruelAndUnusualDeath blown apart from the inside-out in utter agony.]]]]

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Yuri has an absolutely massive panic attack of complete and utter terror once she realizes that she's not simply trying to murder some random little girl as a FalseFriend-- but was attempting to murder a GodInHumanForm who is ''not amused''. There's even a delayed inability to realize it for a bit until after Kimi's dropped in the severed parts of the Koshides and then ''drenches'' Yuri in their blood from head to toe to get the point across how screwed she is. At that point, Yuri practically drops to her knees, both terrified and simultaneously amazed at meeting an actual, genuine god beyond the one she worships, and trying her best to desperately swear fealty and that she'll sacrifice anyone and everyone Kimi orders to for a blessing. [[CruelAndUnusualDeath Kimi cuts those pleas short.]]]]

Yuri's inability to empathize and her sheer panic gets her [[CruelAndUnusualDeath blown apart from the inside-out in utter agony.]]]]

* KickTheDog: [[spoiler:The Kushides were presumably the ones that planted the severed dog's head in the shaved ice, and otherwise repeatedly murdered several people before the big final sacrifice while trying to turn the complex's tenants against each other subtly. The only reason they might've had for this was to make sure no one would trust each other when they started the mass sacrifice, and given the sheer AxCrazy glee they show combined with Yuri trying her damnedest to terrify Kimi in the murder attempt, the path to the results was likely a fun bonus.]]

** In episode 3, a rainbow appears. At night. When there's no sunlight to create a rainbow. And above the light illuminating the complex. All Rubel says about it is that it looks pretty. [[AvertedTrope Averted]] with Taka, who has a EurekaMoment upon seeing it.

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler:Once Yuri is splattered with her parents' organs and confronted with the AwfulTruth that Kimi is a genuine deity, she immediately bows to the ground and tries to pray to her for her blessings... while saying [[NotHelpingYourCase she'll kill anyone and pillage whatever for Kimi's desires.]] Kimi's response is to fill her organs with moss and then [[{{Gorn}} explode her from the inside-out]] for her transgressions.]]
* AllPowerfulBystander: [[spoiler:Kimi has what seems to be complete power over time and space, and could kill anyone the instant she felt like it. Instead, she tries to live a normal, peaceful life among humans to attempt to see if they can live in harmony. Then the Koshides just happen to ruin all of that and kill nearly everyone like [[HistoryRepeats humans apparently do every time she tries]], albeit she apparently waits to see the end goal out. The moment her patience is finally shot, however, she gibs the Koshides and ends the plot then and there.]]
* BespectacledCutie: Yuri, one of the two lead characters. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, she is ultimately revealed to be CuteButPsycho.]]
* BigSisterInstinct: Yuri believes herself to be Kimi's older sister and tells her this [[spoiler:when they find the hidden tomb that Taka found]] to try to console a heartbroken Kimi. However, [[spoiler:both of them start to ''really'' believe that they really are sisters, complete with Kimi recalling the events of long ago when her apparent ancestor watched Yuri's apparent ancestor sacrificing her life to protect her. This is later subverted as Yuri reveals herself to be a crazy cultist fully-intent on sacrificing everyone to their god.]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Yuri and her family moving into Housing Complex C is part of the reason why everything's going wrong. Considering that all the neighbors act relatively friendly, it's a huge surprise when one of the neighbors, who just had a note detailing what's going on and is going to warn Kimi, is suddenly stabbed from behind by Yuri's dad. It's then shown that Yuri's mom killed Wada. After Kan takes out the mom and dad, Kimi is seen being chased by Yuri, who tells her she likes making what she calls "nicey-nices" scream until she bleeds them dry.]]

* CharmPerson: As part of TheReveal, [[spoiler:Kimi is suggested to be this in Taka's journal. Despite all of the mysterious circumstances around her (like why her mother, who she supposedly lives with, never appears), everyone at the complex feels a strong desire to like and protect her.]]

* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:Both Yuri and Kimi towards each other, though the latter is fully aware of the former's malevolence and duplicity, and plays her right back in turn.]]

* ForTheEvulz: [[spoiler:After TheReveal, Yuri admits that while her father's murderous tendencies are motivated by love of their god, Yuri herself just enjoys killing people, especially "nicey-nices" like Kimi.]]

* GentleGiant: Kan is as kind-hearted as he is big and ungainly.

* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:Kimi is, for all intents and purposes, an avatar of [[CthulhuMythos Yog-Sothoth]].]]

* KarmicJackpot: [[spoiler:After being a genuine GentleGiant that tried to save and protect Kimi throughout the story, Kan is brought into the present without issue beyond his wounds while everyone else besides Rubel had been murdered already. If Kimi really is Yog-Sothoth, then his direct prayer to her for protection via the words she'd given him, compared to Yuri's selfish desires for power, likely also contributed to his survival.]]

* KilledOffscreen: [[spoiler:Kimi somehow slaughtered Yuri's parents when she leads Yuri into a representation of Kimi's room.]]
* LaserGuidedKarma: [[spoiler:Yuri and her family, who've gone about murdering the residents of Housing Complex C almost indiscriminately, are casually slaughtered by Kimi, who is revealed to be a god disguised as a child. She shows disgust as to how HistoryRepeats, and dumps the organs of Yuri's parents all over her. After receiving a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, Yuri then starts expelling moss from every orifice like blood before popping like an overinflated balloon. All the while Kimi expresses sadness about how HumansAreBastards to each other due to human stupidity.]]
* MadeOfIron: Kan is TheBigGuy to such an extent that he [[spoiler:gets stabbed through his left hand, impaled via crowbar in his side, and clocked with a metal pipe upside the head, and is still conscious enough to try and save Kimi.]]

* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:Yuri and her family are all insane, murderous cultists who worship an eldritch god heavily implied to be Cthulhu. Kimi, one of their intended victims, turns out to be a deity even more powerful than the one they worship: Yog-Sothoth. Once this is revealed, Kimi makes short work of them all.]]

* {{Protectorate}}: Everyone native to Housing Complex C wants to protect Kimi no matter what, and even Kan and Yuri join in on it. [[spoiler:While Kan was doing it out of genuine altruism, Yuri was really just a BitchInSheepsClothing. The rest seem to be under the thrall of Kimi as part of her attempts to live in harmony without them being any the wiser (this is also why nobody ever questioned any of the mysterious things about Kimi, like why they never see her mother despite "knowing" Kimi lives with her.]]

** Advertising for the series before its airing says that, essentially, everything was fine and dandy at Housing Complex C "until ''they'' showed up" with attention being drawn to the new tenants, obviously insinuating that they're responsible for everything. Come the first episode, these characters turn out to be foreigners who came to work at a nearby fishery and are implicitly Middle Eastern Muslims; coupled with the other Lovecraftian themes established from the very start of the series, this might hint at touching on the uncomfortable but less-cosmic parts of the Cthulhu mythos--namely, Lovecraft's racism which led him to attribute the Cthulhu cult to basically every non-white people on Earth in ''The Call of Cthulhu''. [[spoiler: There ''is'' friction between the new tenants and the Japanese characters, but it's the Koshide family who are responsible for everything and the foreigners are just as much victims of them as the earlier tenants, with the series using this to deliver a PrejudiceAesop]].

* TooDumbToLive:
** Kimi is taught about optical illusions, which she uses in a prank where she stands in ''front'' of a balcony railing several floors up, with a railing silhouette painted on her clothes. However, she ends up stumbling and falling.Thankfully, Kan is there to catch her. Given that [[spoiler:Kimi was a god the entire time, she likely did it on purpose to test Kan which he passes.]]
** At the very end, [[spoiler:as Yuri is covered in the blood and entrails of her parents after Kimi demonstrates her otherworldly powers, Yuri opts to [[AintTooProudToBeg beg for the blessings of the god before her]] while ranting and raving about how she'll kill and pillage anyone Kimi wants her to. This is immediately following Kimi's lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that pointed out how ''annoyed'' she was with the Koshide family for murdering everyone and destroying Kimi's peace, and with humanity in general for their violent ways. Yuri [[LudicrousGibs gets mushed]] for it. Kimi even comments on how stupid Yuri was.]]

''Housing Complex C'' is an Creator/AdultSwim original anime four episode mini-series produced by Studio Akatsuki under director Yuji Nara and writer amphibian (with the [[https://twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/1577357097267875840 original character design of Kimi]] by Creator/YoshitoshiABe). It aired on ''Creator/{{Toonami}}'' from October 2 to October 23, 2022.

** Two of the villagers are named [[Creator/HideoKojima Hideo and Kojima]]. This is a nod to how he was originally planned to create a new ''VideoGame/SilentHill'' game with the ''P.T.'' demo.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: The Koshide family. They murder everyone at Housing Complex C in the finale, and Kimi kills all three of them in turn when she reveals herself to be a god. She apparently tore the parents limb from limb and then liquified the rest of them, dumped all the blood and gore on Yuri while giving her a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, and finally made Yuri explode into a pile of bones and guts, too. It's hard to argue that they didn't deserve it]].

* CosmicHorrorStory:
** The story heavily takes its cues from the works of Creator/HPLovecraft, specifically ''Literature/TheShadowOverInnsmouth''.
** [[spoiler:Kimi herself appears to be a representation of Yog-Sothoth itself, if the imagery shown during the time she arrived on earth is anything to go by and her apparent powers over time-space. Also, the bubbles shown around her are likely supposed to be the Silver Globes described in the lore regarding Yog-Sothoth.]]

In the small isolated seaside town of Kurosaki, plucky young nine-year-old Kimi Shirokado is happy to make a new friend in Yuri Koshide, whose family just arrived for the summer along with a bunch of foreign interns- much to the displeasure of the island natives. While investigating a storage room for something to help beat the summer heat, the residents find a hidden compartment. After that, strange phenomena begin to happen. Animals are being slaughtered and left scattered around, and residents begin to disappear. Soon, the already delicate situation between the natives and interns give rise to racial tensions, distrust, and mutual enmity.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: a rather dark version in the finale, just before the reveal of Kimi's true nature: [[spoiler: she shows Yuri the severed limbs of her parents, and Yuri demands "What is this?!" to which Kimi nonchalantly replies that it's part of a torso]].

* BespectacledCutie: Yuri, one of the two lead characters.

* ChekhovsGun: A knife with an octopus-like creature engraved on its sheath appears atop the unpacked moving boxes in Yuri's apartment. Neither Yuri, her mother Keiko, or Kimi make note of it, even with it lying very nearby them at the entrance. [[spoiler: It shows up again in the final episode as Mr. Koshide's primary murder weapon. He intends to murder everyone in Housing Complex C with it in an attempt to awaken the god the Koshide family worships.]]
* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: Invoked. Kimi is incredibly oblivious to some of the scariest things happening around the housing complex that she doesn't bat much of an eye when she sees a whole legion of humanoid sea monsters advancing through the beach at night. She also plays a prank on Yuri by scaring her with a dog corpse. [[spoiler:Episode 4 reveals Kimi is actually a god.]]

* FalseFriend: [[spoiler:Both Yuri and Kimi towards each other, though the latter is fully aware of the former's duplicity, and plays her right back in turn.]]

** Several objects in the storage room contain [[spoiler:dates set after the year 2000, indicating that time loops are involved.]]

* TheGhost: Hideo barely averts this, though we only see him from the back or as a cloaked figure. The only time we ever see his face is [[spoiler:during the opening.]]

* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:Kimi is, for all intents and purposes, an avatar of [[CthulhuMythos Yog-Sothoth]].]]

** One of the villagers mentions Yog Sothoth, and Hideo is shown specifically researching the Franchise/CthulhuMythos on his computer.

** At the very end, [[spoiler:as Yuri is covered in the blood and entrails of her parents after Kimi demonstrates her otherworldly powers, Yuri opts to [[AintTooProudToBeg beg for the blessings of the god before her]] while ranting and raving about how she'll kill and pillage anyone Kimi wants her to. This is immediately following Kimi's lengthy TheReasonYouSuckSpeech that pointed out how ''annoyed'' she was with the Koshide family for murdering everyone and destroying Kimi's peace, and with humanity in general for their violent ways. Yuri [[LudicrousGibs gets mushed]] for it, though she was probably dead either way.]]

** Everyone at the shaved ice party quickly realize that there's something wrong with the flavor of the fruit syrup they're all eating. Examining the serving pot reveals [[spoiler:a severed, skinned dog's head.]]

* IAteWhat: Everyone at the shaved ice party is horrified when examining the syrup pot reveals [[spoiler:a severed, skinned dog head.]]
