M-my name is Sakura Katana-chan... I love Karkat-kun so much, I hope he notices me todayyyy...
— Sakura in the first episode
.
.Sugoi Quest For Kokoro is a YouTube-hosted Fanime that has several elements of Homestuck and Sailor Moon. It is primarily a parody of cliches found within Anime. It was created by death420 and co-animated by miraculoustang (who now goes online as ranchuppi).
You can watch the entire series on the creator's channel. To date, four episodes and a mini-movie have been released. The creator later posted a fake trailer for a fifth episode, but later admitted that the series is over for real, due to a lack of interest in making it and the fact that he could not do Sakura-chan's voice anymore.
Compare Nyan~ Neko Sugar Girls and Tokyo Crystal Mew.
Tropes that Sugoi Quest for Kokoro provides an example of:
- Affectionate Parody: The whole series is a parody of anime tropes.
- All There in the Manual: The wiki contains many bits of trivia about the series and characters who never made it to the final cut.
- Alpha Bitch: Vriska.
- Anguished Declaration of Love: Several from Ookami Kitsune-chan, which are always cut off at the last minute by Sakura.
- Animesque: Oh yes.
- Artistic License – Linguistics: The suffix "-chan" is used to refer to pretty much everybody, including men. The suffix is primarily used for girls and small children. However, this is Played for Laughs and intentional, adding to the Stylistic Suck nature of the series.
- Breast Attack: Sakura inflicts this on Vriska, complete with a Finger Poke of Doom.Vriska:: My tit!
- Blatant Lies: Sakura, when Flayme Rayven (correctly) accuses her of killing Vriska.Flayme: So... You're that neko girl that killed Vriska-sama...Sakura: Oh, no, that was Ookami-chan. I don't know what you're talking about, haha...
- Cat Girl: There are several throughout the series, most prominently Sakura-chan and Ookami-chan.
- Clingy Jealous Girl: Sakura.
- Curb-Stomp Battle: Sakura's first fight with Vriska.
- When Sakura attempts to fight Neko!Terezi.
- Fan Disservice: There's a lot of bouncing breasts and exposed panties, but the art is so intentionally off-model and terrible that the fanservice is meant to be more comedic than titillating.
- Gainax Ending: The ending definitely falls under this. After Sakura-chan goes One-Winged Angel, Doctor-chan tries to shoot her to put a stop to her. However, Bitch Vantas is right behind him with a gun in her hand, and tries to shoot Doctor-chan. Karkat-kun then Takes the Bullet for Doctor-chan, and Bitch Vantas cries out that she just shot her son. The Sakura-chan has a Freak Out, and the world blows up. The end!
- Gratuitous Japanese: Every single time someone talks, their speech is bound to be peppered with faux Japanese words and phrases.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: After Karkat dies.Bitch Vantas: Ah! My son! NOOOOOO!
- The Movie: It gets a 14-minute one made in Plotagon.
- Murder the Hypotenuse: Sakura attempts to do this to Terezi when she sees her and Karkat walking together.
- One-Winged Angel: Sakura's giant neko form.
- Only Sane Man: Doctor-chan. Kind of.
- Remember the New Guy?: New characters tend to pop up without any previous mention or explanation. Particularly bad examples are Ookami Kitsune-chan and Flayme Rayven, the latter of which is never even mentioned by name until the movie. Ookami is also an In-Universe example, as she's apparently Sakura-chan's best friend, but Sakura doesn't even recognize her upon introduction.
- Running Gag:
- Terezi's blindness.
- Dental plan!
- Shout-Out:
- "If it isn't Ratchet and fucking Clank!"
- "Dental plan!"
- Sophisticated as Hell: "IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE AND LOVE, I WILL KICK YOUR ASS, VRISKA-CHAN!!!"
- Stealth Parody: Of anime and the Homestuck fandom.
- Stylistic Suck: The story is not genuine in any way.
- Synthetic Voice Actor: Ryubre Akfast is voiced by a text-to-voice program. Later on, everyone in The Movie gets this treatment.
- Troll Fic: Oh so very much. It's a Stylistic Suck Fanime with a Parody Sue Villain Protagonist, and could even be considered Homestuck's answer to My Immortal.
- Undignified Death: Terezi dies when she walks onto a highway in front of a car, because she's blind. Fortunately, she is brought back to life later.
- The Unintelligible: Doctor-chan.
- Wham Line: "Terezi fucking passed away..."
