EDIT: I've marked off my Otakon schedule. Warning: Image is hueg. That's right, HUEG. -------------------- Wow, Tina looks scary in the last panel. While certain traps are easier to fall into, I think that Honey Senpai would qualify as one, especially if you make the Girls Bravo connection and if you're a lolicon. He is very much shota styled, though so I could see why people wouldn't fall for The Trap or wouldn't understand The Trap. He's not a very strong example, but I was really reaching. Just imagine him in a girly bathing suit, or something. You'll get a boner soon enough. The art in this comic is ok. Nothing above average, nothing really below average. I did spend about 2 hours on the background in the first panel though... Otakon is 2 days away and I'm dreading it. If it's anything like last year, then I'm in for a horrible time. As usual, we'll be having our little table. It's going to have a huge fucking banner that says "Mistakes of Youth" on it, so look out for that. We're going to be with a bunch of other webcomics in the J block, which kind of sucks, given I hate most webcomics. I googled the guys on either side of us and I'm not really sure what to think, I just hope they're not annoying. Anyway, I'd like readers to be aware that not all of us will be at the table all the time. There will always be someone there (either me, GS, CM or my friend.) It really depends on how often any of us wants to go and explore the con or get autographs 'n shit. Also, as Otakon progresses, I'd like to do a sketch journal, a la Penny Arcade each night from the hotel room. If I don't do that, I'll at least upload photos into some folder. Just be sure to WATCH THIS SPACE. Changed the featured site to this hot girl's site. She's hot. Go there. I remember once I was having a casual conversation with a friend of mine regarding the status of Pani Poni Dash's subs. I said, "Wouldn't it be funny if the PPD subs were done by Otakon?" in jest. Little did I know that I would be nearly correct. For those who follow fansubs (I'm sure the only alternative would be those who follow things raw) you would know that the final episode of Pani Poni Dash was released just a few days ago, a good 7 or 8 months after its run ended in Japan. Right now I am in process of watching episodes 19-26, with 2 episodes left. I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss this show, because I did. Sometimes the amount of obscure references blows my mind or makes me implode, but the fanservice makes me happy. Once my Japanese moves out of the realm of suckage, I'll pick up the R2s. No way I'm giving ADV anymore of my hard-earned bills! I've come to understand what people mean when they talk about how Futakoi Alternative drags in the middle. It certainly drags, a lot. The dragging is well done but it's still dragging. When I was following it about a year ago, the subs came out at about once every 3 weeks, so I didn't really notice too much of this dragging; I was simply happy to get an episode. Now that I am "marathoning" it, I've noticed this dragging middle section people keep talking about. Like I said, the slow episodes are done well (almost Anno-ish) but it does break the momentum that was established in the beginning of the show. Seems a bunch of kids were drawing NHK episode 4, as I saw a bunch of STICK PEOPLE. It actually looked kind of stylish, but when I think about how this episode will stick out among the other 20 or so episodes, it makes me sad. Still a good episode, but could have been better. The ULTIMATE FUCKING MOE wasn't as funny. I'm sure it'd look repulsive if you're not familiar with the manga, but it failed to me. At least the awesome direction remained consistent. I'll try to think of a better way to organize these posts at some point. Right now they're just random thoughts thrown together. Perhaps I should get a proper blog? Who knows. Anyway, that's it for this week. ..and this is why pokemon ruled... |
I guess we're gonna get a lot of angry people at Otakon this year. Seeing how most of them love Naruto. And Rets opinions are pretty much the opinions of Wildarmsheero. So, unless you find it hilarous to make fun of us, don't come to us shouting "NARUTO ROXXORS", because you will be shot.
Like Wildarms I have seen NHK ni Youkoso! I was impressed. Mostly because I have never seen a T.V. and a refrigerator argue. I had never heard of a NEET before, though I wasn't too surprised to hear that they exsist in Japan. I guess you could call some of my friends 'Mediocre NEETS': they do go outside, just not that often.
My week has been long. It's not that I have been working a lot, I just am incredibly tired of work. I had a long year of school and all the other work that I have been wroking just has seemed to catch up on me. I was practically sleeping at Wildarms' house on Tuesday when I came over (at least I think it was Tuesday, my memory is a bit off right now). In preparation for Otakon I am designing a banner, name-tags, and cards. I am also printing off what little comics we have of Mistakes of Youth. Finally, despite never posting a rant and being quite absent in the online community, Gundamsucker will be making an appearance.
So, a friend of mine, "Ron" has got me hooked on Battlestar Galactica (credit also given to Geekson). This show is so well done it's taken me only 5 days to watch everything up to half of season 2. The hardest part of this show is recommending it to an Otaku. Since, there really isn't any anime like it. So, let me phrase it this way: "Gundam was inspired by Star Wars. The original Battlestar Galactica was inspired by Star Wars. The remake of Battlestar Galactica is better than the original." To describe the plot in Otaku terms: 50,000 survivors, searching for earth, and their only defense is the White Base...without the Gundams. Have I convinced you to watch it now? No? Oh. You already have seen it and you're watching it and all you can do is laugh at me for not realizing it's genius sooner.
Ok time for:
That's right! It's time for CM to talk about the shows that you all probably don't watch. But you should. First off we have the ending to Haruhi. Sad that it has ended. This is one show that I can honestly say was too short. I miss Kyon and Haruhi arguing. I miss Mikiru's massive tities.
Why did I just link to that?
Anyway, on to the ending. I loved it. When they wake up in the school I was absolutly excited. Haruhi's fantasy world is the school. Where she has the most fun. Where she lives. and while they where being chased, I loved the entired moment when all Haruhi could do was smile. but when that choir music came up, I laughed. I laughed my ass off. It wasn't really funny, it just was over the top. Not sure if that's what the creators wanted, but I found it hilarous.
I've decided to refer to Ergo Proxy as the montage show. This show has become a series of montages which do not push the story and constantly try to be deep and meaningful. What actually happens is meaningless. They make pointless obscure references which function more as an attempt to make themselves look incredibly deep. That's about it.
Anyway, I need to go see 'A Scanner Darkly'.
- BAI!
