Pink-haired Tsumiki Domen introduces herself before exclaiming, ¡°Kuso! F-kku! Chikoku da!¡± That¡¯s subtitled not as the literal ¡°Sh-t! F-ck! I¡¯m late!¡± but as ¡°Oh no, I¡¯m late!,¡± setting the tone of this humorous animation. Our heroine rushes off to her first day of high school, slice of toast clamped in mouth ¡ª a clich¨¦ you could expect in any cute Japanese anime. Except it¡¯s not Japanese TV ¡ª ¡°Senpai Club¡± is a parody video with more than half a million YouTube views. And it¡¯s made by two Swedish high school students calling themselves Make Babies.
In an email interview, Eric Bradford, 18, recounts how he first met Olivia Bergstr?m, 17, a little over a year ago at IT-Gymnasiet high school. ¡°We met during an open house when our classes were working together. It was nothing special, just a project to design a brochure.¡±
The pair have since collaborated on a number of simple video games (¡°usually just short projects made over a weekend¡°), and now they¡¯re undertaking something on a larger scale ¡ª animation.
