Some rather hilarious advice for new people

BECAUSE I DIDN’T GET CALLED UP TO HELP SOME GUY AT THAT.

• Why did you start blogging?
  Originally, I did not want to blog. I am slow when it comes to hot new Internet trends (okay, maybe not Twitter, taht service is a wonderful thing). Also I was reading Jason Miao and I thought, hey, I could do this much better than him. And approximately 4 years later, I’m only getting 200 hits on a good day. Something has clearly gone wrong somewhere.
  
  
• What influenced the development of your own blogging style?
  I have a blogging style? Personality, perhaps. Even though I had wanted to parody and troll Jason Miao in the first place.
• Do you have a personal philosophy, motto, or focus for your blogging?
  I write about whatever I want whenever I want. You know what, don’t follow that. It only gets you 200 hits a day on a good day.
  
• What would you say is the most important skill for a new blogger to develop?
  Determination. Mostly bcaause you’re going to get periods when you only get 200 hits a day on a good day.
• What’s the one thing a new blogger should avoid?
  I have no idea what you mean. Probably trying not to connect with the community. That’s a really bad idea. Oh, and try not to get kicked out of Anime Nano. That’s also a really bad idea too.
• If you could give one sentence of advice to a new blogger, what would it be?
  If you’re not having fun, you’re doing it wrong.
• Char warned us about the ‘mistakes caused by youth.’ What was your biggest newbie mistake?
  Trying to parody and troll Jason Miao. Thankfully, I got better. Then again, I make all sorts of mistakes.

No wait. I fail at everything ever. Don’t follow anything you see here.

LIKE THE WIND! XABUNGLE!

What happens when Yoshiyuki Tomino is not depressed?

He makes wacky mecha shows. We’ve all heard of Overman King Gainer. And it was the best thing to come out in 2002.

Hop into your Delorean and juice up your flux capacitators, folks. We’re going on a field trip 20-odd years into the past, to catch the show that came before it:

COMBAT MECHA XABUNGLE

Good times will be had by all. I guarantee it.

Sudden realizations redux – I can hear the parodies in my head

For those of you not in the know, the spin-off SRW game SRW: OGS – Endless Frontier EXCEED (meaning EXCEEDING huge titties and continuity/crossover porn) has been recently released for the Nintendo DS.

Nobuyuki Hiyama voices a hot-blooded pervert and Tomokazu Seki voices a certain hot-blooded martial arts expert.

And then I realized Shishioh Guy and Domon Kasshu meet. In the game. And not as butlers or as Domon Kasshu and Shishioh Guy (Did you know that Nobuyuki Hiyama can flirt and snark in a hot-blooded manner as well?).

Yes, this game is now on my to-buy list. Not even Nana Mizuki voicing ELFTITS can stop me.

Spring 2010. Rock, Rock on.

(Oh snap I don’t know where this came from please don’t pelt me with viral bombs and the like ;-;)

I can’t believe it’s almost 4 days to THE LEGEND OF KOIZUMI. But enough of that.

Let’s just say Spring is decidedly more interesting than Winter. Mostly because of STAN LEE.

• Arakawa Under The Bridge: Shinbo tackles a really weird mangaka’s work. I’m interested in seeing what the strange pairing can produce. And I quite like Saint Young Men.
• Iron Man: TONY STARKS BUILT THIS IN A CAVE. WITH SCRAPS. WHILE BANGING HOT WOMEN. ‘Nuff said.
• HEROMAN: HOLY FUCK YES STAN LEE IS BALANCED FOR SUPER ROBOTS. No really. I’m hyped for the AMERICAN SUPER ROBOT SHOW.
• Angel Beats: Yeah. It’s by Maeda Jun. With Art by Na-Ga. And it’s being animooted. I’m a Key-tard.
• SD Gundam: SD Gundam :3

Holy shit I can’t believe they are animating these

• K-ON S2: If trolling with Endless 8 wasn’t enough, they just had to make another season for K-ON. :V
• Kiss X Sis: After Aki Sora, NOTHING is sacred anymore. Also,
  
• Mudamuzo Naki Kaikaku -THE LEGEND OF KOIZUMI- : Though it airs on Feb 26, It is so epic it deserves a slot here. For being totally jawsome.

MIIIINAMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

When will Yowa Shion make her appearance in Chibi Miku-san?

She’s so cute ;-;

And for those taking sides in the “Vocaloid War”…

FUCK YOU. MINAMI HAS THE RIGHT IDEA.

In insane wishland… … …

I’d love an Endouloid or a Fukuloid. Hotblooded singing on your computer, free-of-charge (or paid, I don’t care). Anikiloid is also acceptable. Or JAM PROJECT Vocaloids/UTAUloids.

SHUT UP IT IS A JAWSOME IDEA.

I can’t believe they took the SUPER ROBOT SCHOOL FESTIVAL idea in SRW J and made a game out of it.

I was supposed to brag about how I passed the OEG’s strict Stage 1 criteria for being otaku, but that’s like hearing Osama telling the terrorists not to bomb Singapore. Which pretty much means DISAPPOINTING.

And then I got distracted by the new SRW: OGS: Endless Frontier EXCEED battle video. Yes, that’s pretty much the entire cast of the first game, plus Neige, plus Alady, plus Axel and Alfimi, and a few others kicking butt.

(How did I ever start this blog without an SRW category, it boggles my mind.)

And then we have SUPER ROBOT SCHOOL. Which is basically, erm, yes, a school where fighting with super robots is the norm. And curriculum. Valorous shouting is to be expected. Also GaoGaiGar. It also has arts by Komatsu Eeji.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

The smallest, cutest sergeant major ever.

So I’m rewatching Nanoha StrikerS Episode 1 and it finally got to me.

Rein Zwei is the smallest, cutest sergeant major ever. No seriously.

Imagine her as your sergeant major. Nothing would ever get done, nor would any discipline get meted out. But who cares. It’s one step away from getting a cage of hamsters as your superior

This is for those of you in the armed forces.

What I missed when my computer almost died

Man, it sure sucks when your computer decides to shit itself after a power failure.

Apparently, I missed some big news.

Handley to get 6 months for owning lolicon manga: Other than making hilarious jokes about prison rape, there’s no turning back for the human race. I, for one, will welcome our shiny metal robutt overlords when they finally come online. [/sarcasm]

NISA licenses ToraDora!: Disgaea 4 is totally not on the horizon.

Haruhi is still puzzlingly popular, despite it being about some girl with what could simply be termed a “bitch god” complex: …I have nothing to say.

Me realizing that Tesshou Genda is in THE LEGEND OF KOIZUMI: HOLY SHIT.

MANLY APPRECIATION DAY REDUCKS: Now with 500% more TESSHOU GENDA

In the wise, hotblooded exclamations of TESSHOU GENDA,

HE IS A MAN!

And with that, let us now appreciate the MANLY MEN that defined MANLINESS, HOTBLOODED, and why it’s okay to like traps. (Because YOU ARE A MAN!)

KABUTO KOUJI! HE IS A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!

SHISHIOH GUY! HE IS A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!

DOMON KASSHU! HE IS A MAN!!!!!!!!!

WATARASE JUN! HE IS A MAN!!!!!! (WHAT)

MASTER ASIA! HE IS A MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULD T_T

Jun is a man because he doesn’t give a shit about gender. He just wants to be cute. And is perfectly happy being a MAN.

Drm note: Last pic is probably official art or something.

If you told me a kungfu serial with robots IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE and the story of an everywoman ojou with electric powers were terrible ideas, I’d have hit you so hard I’d have punched out all of your blood

No seriously.

First up is the most ridiculous Gundam show to ever grace the television screen: MOBILE FIGHTER G GUNDAM. Take one measure of Gundam, mix it up with super robots, throw in as much KUNG FOOLERY as you can, and throw that idea to IMAGAWA (who also directed SHIN MAZINGER Z! SHOUGEKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!), and you get… … … …

The Best Gundam Show Ever. (Even surpassing The 08th MS Team! But SUPER ROBOTS OVERRIDE REAL ROBOTS. ALWAYS.) It’s retarded, it’s insane, and furthermore, Hong Kong and Taiwan are probably going to froth at the idea, but WHO CARES. This idea is SOLID GOLD. It’s AMAZING. It’s a lot fresher than most ideas for anime I’ve seen (kungfu robot tournament fightan is still a lot better than a lot of shows, Code Geass notwithstanding since I’ve never watched it).

And I’m not even at the tournament PROPER. Sure, the first few episodes are slow going and they had to stuff in the backstory at the beginning, but after the terrible, terrible exposition, BAM! ROBOT FIGHTS! UNDEAD ROBOT FIGHTS! JAWSOME STUFF HAPPENS. MASTER ASIA IS EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL! THE SHUFFLE ALLIANCE DIE JAWSOMELY! THE GUYANA HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANDS!!!

Schwarz Bruder ;_;

And then we come to A CERTAIN SCIENTIFIC RAILGUN. Or in romanji, TO ARU KAGAKU NO CHOUDENJIBOU. (Try saying that like Tesshou Genda. It’s extremely satisfying.)

3 teenaged girls with what could be accurately termed SUPERPOWERS (and one mundane one) experience life in a city of schools, occasionally interrupted by SUPERPOWERED bank robberies and scientific intrigue. The main character gets roped into these events without so much as a thought because she’s basically Nanoha without the magical crap and we replace her beamspam of death with powerful and creative uses of electricity. No kidding.

Some people say it’s crap, but I, for one, enjoyed the first half of the series. Light, consistent storytelling with likeable characters (Kuroko is an unbashed lesbian. Mikoto is a hardworking ‘normal’ student. Ui~hara~n~ and Saten play off each other very well. Most of the side characters are not annoying.) and a solid plot. I can’t believe people call this crap just because it’s JC Staff. They are formally forgiven for not making Tsukihime. And Shana (And I liked Shana ). And Zero No Tsukaima (in retrospect, JC Staff cannot be blamed for crap source material. Save for not making Tsukihime.)

And then we come to THE CLONE WARS. Which should be extremely interesting to watch. Where’s mah clone Railguns.

Also I refuse to use the weeaboo name for this show.

And mini-reviews for the rest of the stuff I managed to watch:

• Bamboo Blade: The best moe kendo show I have watched. If there were any other moe kendo shows, it would pale in comparison.
• Sunred Season 2: Go read wah. He tells it better. Sunred is still funny. And keeps itself fresh.
• PLANETES: It’s GARBAGE COLLECTORS IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. And it is jawsomely jawsome. Great character-centric storytelling, much better than Haruhi, which shone in technical animation brilliance, but paled in character-centric storytelling.

18 days to THE LEGEND OF KOIZUMI.THIS SHOW WILL BE THE BEST SHOW OF THE SEASON. I GUANTAREE IT.
