So we have come to the end of the road, at last. To those who have come this far, keep on moving. Massugu go~!

Here is the last batch of questions to see who gets to be with Hung. Hopefully the show will be revived.

This was supposed to last for about 50 questions (5 questions per week; 20 questions per month; you do the math), but due to time constraints and with the Finals approaching, I figured I’d had to stop at somewhere. I stopped at 20.

It was a fun interest, thus far. Besides, these are enough already. I’ve ran out of questions.

All episodes thus far are covered.

1. Which stock character does Hung not fall for?
   • Iincho
   • Ojousama
   • Meganekko
2. What is the website address of the Anime Nano Podcast
   • www.animenano.com/podcast
   • podcast.animenano.com
   • www.animenano-podcast.com
3. When was the first podcast produced?
   • July 9, 2006
   • July 16, 2006
   • July 23, 2006
4. When was the last podcast?
   • January 14th, 2007
   • December 3rd, 2006
   • October 15, 2006
5. How many polls have been asked/posted?
   • 9
   • 10
   • 11

“He says, She says”: Sexualization of females (from Impz)

Hmm, looking over both Impz’ and ThirteenSugars’ analyses, it is clear that there is a clear difference of opinion in terms of perception. I guess it takes a more experienced analyst to delve deeper into this, but I’m not the person with that type of expertise.

Here are my 2 cents on the issue of the post:

The pose in case #1 might have the possibilty of generating a sexual vibe to the anime viewer, but to the non-seasoned individual, he sees nothing overly “sexual” about the illustration, and passes it off as an art, or animation, or (in Impz’ classmates’ case) an accusation of being “hentai” (the meaning being “abnormal”, taking Wikipedia’s discussion).

In case #2, however, having pre-knowledge about the origin of the said illustration might stir up notions of “lesbian undertones or overtones (take a pick) will convince an observing individual (who incidentally has een watching the anime a time ago in his lifetime) that there is a sexual cue being conveyed by the way the girls in the picture are drawn. To the non-anime watcher, there is nothing overly wrong “sexual-wise”.

So there you have it. An “expertly constructed” analysis by your truly. Now off I go to study for an Invertebrate Exam tomorrow aftertoon. Oh, and tell me if I viewed something incorrectly.

To those who would rather worship LOL-tan than the Goddess herself, here are pics relevant to your interest.

Not sure if they would be of wallpaper quality, though. (and I think you have to register to get these pictures. Haha. ^^)

Thank you, Sagubooru!

And kudos to Otakuism for the Greatest Haruhi Pic Evar! XD

I’m not sure if it’s true (I pinched myself to be sure lol), But I swear I saw this yesterday at a department store (which btw is not populated by “enthusiasts” as a hobby shop).

While I was reading this, a bad imagery came to my mind.

Teacher: Boys and girls, this is what happens during sexual intercourse. (faces a boy and and a girl, the two “participants”) Both of you, please take off your clothes and position yourselves like this… then do it like this… (faces the rest of the class) Let’s see what happens…”

Shop class gives students a chance to learn outside of the book. But at Warren Township’s Raymond Park Middle School, two students engaged in illicit acts in view of goggled eyes.

13 Investigates was tipped off by a disturbed resident who writes:

“…during school hours in a classroom with an experienced teacher present, two sixth graders completed the act of intercourse…at least ten students were witnesses. No disciplinary actions were taken against the teacher… All teachers were told to keep quiet.”

My browser of choice.

OMGWTF?! It is being born!

Hmm. Everyone seems to be buzzing about their lineup of shows to watch this Spring Season. There seems to be screams of joy, sweats of anticipation, and tears of utter disappointment in the anime blogosphere. I think I mentioned before how the following season will restore my faith in anime, so let’s hope it does so.

So, in jumping in the bandwagon, here is my list of shows to watch. Refer to this list for the source.

(as a side note, moetron’s list seems to be up)

ADDENDUM: List has been edited to reflect the SPRING ‘07 season, as per request. Refer to moetron’s list for comparison. Read the rest of this entry »

This so fits the theme of Code Geass I just wish they would adopt this when it comes over to this side of the Pacific.

And it’s in our native language, so apologies to the English-speaking people. Read the rest of this entry »

There seems to be much sadness over the passing of Danbooru, the image board maintained by Moetry, and is the source of much of the images of all the anime bloggers around the world.

And it is with a heavy heart that we, who are gathered here, bear witness to the downfall of one great source of anime pr0n random, funny, and often insighful images in anime.

R.I.P. How we remember thee. ;_;

Due to the fact that I am currently displeased that the Winter Season does not provide the kind of anime entertainment that is according to my personal palate, I have listed some titles that I considered to be worthy of my watch.

1. Manabi Straight (impression is currently in draft)
2. Nodame Cantabile (impression is currently in draft)
3. Hidamari Sketch (I have been slowly converted into a watcher; just because, oh god, Yoshinoya-sensei is hot :P)

• Suzuka (because for me it was the best romantic drama of 2005 on equal level with Shuffle in my book)
• School Rumble (misunderstandings in romance make for good slapstick comedy. I LOL’d hard)
• Nanoha A’s (because it has been said to be even better; successor to the original Nanoha)
• Mamotte Shugogetten OVA (I watched the first season, and was fervently wishing for this to be in my possession. wish fulfilled, and will be going in circles, running and screaming like mad)

As mentioned last week time, here’s the next batch of questions. I was disappointed to see that only Zanarky had answered all the questions, but oh well. Guess I’ll do better in this next batch.

Same reference as always. Read the rest of this entry »
