I LOVE Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko, or Henneko, or The Hentai Prince and the Stony Cat. Whatever you call it, it’s one of the best shows of the season, if not the best show. Yeah, that includes Shingeki no Kyojin.
WHHHHAAATTTTT!??? You mean you’re throwing the show you backed as the best of the year under the bus for some emotionless girl munching on ice cream with a blank expression while she stalks some people on a daaaaaate???
I’m pretty confident that I could watch this small 3 second munching scene looped for over an hour, and that’s actually the real point of this post…you think I’m joking.
Yup. I mean, I’m behind, clearly, but now, since I’ve officially gotten an A in my student teaching for being a fucking boss, I will have officially graduated from college. Suck on that you fucking money leeching school! The fact that I am indeed behind on my anime means that I haven’t watched the new Shingeki no Kyojin, so after I catch up with Henneko, which is AWESOME, then I’m sure I’ll watch Shingeki no Kyojin and back it as being the best show of the season/year/life. But as I watch these Henneko episodes…
…fuck I like them more than the manga, which I liked a LOT.
I AM having trouble finishing this episode though, as I’m very tired. I’ll get around to it later, until later happens, Crunchyroll will SAVE MY FUCKING SPOT FOREVER BECAUSE IT’S AWESOME.
This state is literally run by the biggest group of morons that I’ve ever seen. What’s their latest bonehead move? Well that’s all on Uconn for deciding to change their awesome logos, which has long been one of my favorites, into a piece of shit run of the mill asshole fucker of a logo. Here’s the comparison.
Two logos. Now, for one of you assholes out there who doesn’t give a shit about Uconn, you might say that the one on the right looks better because of it’s fierce look and streamlines appearance. Well, you’re an idiot, and let me tell you why you’re wrong.
Every fucking school lately is turning to this streamlined look for their mascots, and it’s pissing me off. Uconn had a classy, unique jersey that the entire school could rally around. Ask anyone on the Uconn campus, and they’ll tell you that this new logo is a piece of shit. How bad is it? I didn’t even go to Uconn, and I hate it. I went to Eastern CT, which is a piece of shit school right near Uconn, so I was at Uconn basically every other weekend, including Spring Weekend (RIP) and Halloween and shit like that. I paid for Eastern’s low tuition and partied at Uconn. Not to mention all the games I went to. Best of both worlds I guess.
The change was apparently because they wanted change in their athletics, so they chose the logo for the 700 or so student athletes who may or may not like this logo, but disregardful the other thousands of students who hate the FUCK out of this stupid logo. The Uconn logo was fine, so what if it wasn’t “fierce?” Is the Red Sox logo fierce? Can you imagine if it were? FUCKING STUPID. How about a fierce Yankees logo? Maybe put a head on the top of that bat instead of that gay hat? DUMB IDEA. Uconn goes from having something unique that everyone loves…a logo that is well known throughout the country, to having something that looks like any other school’s logo.
FUCKING STUPID SHIT.
Almost as dumb as the state’s last bonehead moves, like that stupid busway…
or letting the Whalers move…
or deciding to keep the XL Center, which is a piece of shit…
or deciding to invest in really dumb shit, letting cities like Hartford rot and die….
I hate Connecticut. What’s next? Changing the name of the Whale, which is the one good thing that Hartford’s gotten back in the past 10 years?
UPDATE: THEY CHANGED THE FUCKING NAME OF THE WHALE BACK TO THE FUCKING SHITTY WOLF-PACK. FUCK YOU CITY. FUCK YOU.
Hartford really is a piece of shit. Springfield just announced a deal for a new Casino to boost their city. What has Hartford done?
They introduced decided to invest in a 500 million dollar bus route that NO ONE WILL FUCKING USE BECAUSE
THERE’S NOTHING TO FUCKING DO IN THAT FUCKING SHITTY CITY.
Wake the fuck up government. If you want people to come to Hartford (which you clearly do NOT), then get a new arena, build some fucking stores and shit, and get your act together. Uconn is going to eventually stop using the XL Center because it’s a piece of shit, and they’re in talks to build their own on campus arena anyway. YOU WILL HAVE SHIT. JACK FUCKING SHIT.
DO FUCKING SOMETHING I’LL PAY HIGHER TAXES I DON’T GIVE A FUCK.
Malloy is an asshole and so is everyone else. I swear someday I’m going to run for governor I don’t care if I have to suck a bag of dicks to do it either.
I’m going to be honest with you, after 2 AMAZING episodes, episodes 3 & 4 of Shingeki no Kyojin were pretty uneventful. I also am convinced that IG Productions has no clue how to do comedy or transitions. The music in this show kind of sucks too.
That being said, none of it matters because if the first two episodes told us anything, it was that the fight sequences and shit like that are going to be fucking NUTS. I consider this a good thing since most of the show will be about fighting Titans.
Not that kind of Titan.
The next fight sequence, which I hope will take 8 episodes, is so awesome and mind blowing that your mind will literally be blown (the good kind of blown). Everything up until now has been stupid bullshit that sets up for the series to actually begin, and I consider this a test of IG Productions. Will they make it awesome? Or will they shit the bed completely and refuse to even change the sheets?
We’ll find out, but if the following is any indication…
Totally bad-ass.
…it’s gonna be fucking awesome.
PS: The music still sucks and the CT Whale are changing their name back to the Wolf Pack I’m pissed. Fuck the Rangers bunch of assholes.
Three Awesome Games. I recommend you play them all…HIGHLY recommend.
BioShock
BioShock 2
BioShock Infinite
I decided to buy them all together and play them in succession, and God damn it, I had one of the most awesome gaming experiences ever.
I want to buy a road somewhere and build a small version of Rapture, filled with sick bars and clubs all decked out in Art Deco. Drink will be called shit like EVE how SICK would that be?
I’m going to try and stay away from any SPOILERS until the end, so feel free to read this post until you see the big, red, SPOILER ALERT. First, some definitions for those who haven’t played any of these games:
BioShock 1 & 2
No second thought, just jabs some stuff he’s never seen before into his body.
Plasmids - In the first two BioShock games, you can inject Plasmids, which basically give you superpowers. In BioShock Infinite, they change the name to Salts, which do the exact same thing, the only difference is .
Adam – Adam is a slug secretion that allows you to change your DNA. It’s like money for superpower upgrades. You collect Adam and then spend it to get abilities like lighting your enemies on fire.
Eve- Get it? Adam and Eve? Adam is the stuff you use to get superpowers, and Eve is the stuff you use to use your powers. Think of it as gas for superpowers. Run out of Eve = Run out of gas = no more superpowers.
Gene Tonics – One time plasmids that you don’t need Eve for. For example, you can buy a Gene Tonic that electrocutes anyone who touches you. You don’t need Eve for it, it always works and doesn’t run out.
Splicers – People who have used too much Adam, and now have become mentally unstable. They’re the bad guys who try and kill you.
Big Daddies- Big guys that gaurd Little Sisters.
Little Sisters – Girls who collect Adam from dead corpses. In order to get Adam for upgrades, you need to beat a Big Daddy and collect the Adadm from a Little Sister.
BioShock Infinite
This is my favorite vigor. Makes you fly through the air and smash into enemies far away like a….like a…..FUCKING RAM.
Vigors – Exactly like Plasmids. Drink them once and you’re set. No Adam needed!
Salts- Exactly like EVE.
Tear(pronounced tay-er, like a tear in a piece of paper) – There’s some crazy shit goin on in BioShock Infinite. A tear is pretty much a tear in space and time, which can be opened by….certain people, allowing parts of other dimensions, such as weapons and medical supplies, to enter the present world and be used.
What I liked overall:
The stories of each game were fucking awesome. The settings were unique and kicked ass. Art Deco get at me.
Each game had a twist of 2 of some kind that maybe you saw coming, but probably didn’t. BAM moments? Yes indeed.
I guess to sum up what I liked most about this game series was the fact that it was able to stay unique and fresh even when the basic concepts remained mostly the same. Each game was similar to it’s predecessor in that you were told to go here or fetch that item or pull that lever, and you did that by shooting people, getting upgrades, and using superpowers, which somehow never got old.
Things I didn’t like:
BioShock 1 & 2 each had a LOT of weapons and plasmids. That’s a good thing in most respects, but annoying when you have to cycle through all of them just to get to a certain one. For example, the Hack Gun, which can be used to hack enemy machines, is at the end of your weapon cycle. It sucks when you have to repeatedly press the RB button to cycle all the way to the end. And then of course there are the times where you accidentally hit RB too many times and pass by the weapon you wanted and thus you’re forced to cycle through everything again. Similarly, it sucks when you’re in the middle of a fight and need to change to say…a grenade launcher and you accidentally stop on a Hack Tool and accidentally shoot an enemy with a that. The Hack Tool, which is clearly not a Grenade Launcher, doesn’t do shit when it hits your enemy (maybe stuns them for a second), and so you get your ass beat for a bit.
Fortunately, BioShock Infinite solved this problem by totally revamping the way you cycle through weapons. In BioShock Infinite, you select 2 powers and weapons to equip. So you’re cycling between 2 of each, which makes things easier.
How would I rate them?
From best to worst, I’d go:
BioShock 2 – My personal favorite
BioShock Infinite – This was tough, I could easily put BioShock in this slot.
BioShock – Again, so much to like about this one, and it really sets the mood for the whole series.
Time to get into the individual game reviews.
BioShock
Having the wrench as a first weapon just makes me pissed off that Half Life 3 is taking so fucking long.
BioShock was so incredibly unique and awesome. Adam, EVE, Plasmids, Big Daddies, Little Sisters…..the thought process and story telling made for a great experience.
First was the art and architecture of the city of Rapture. Even the name Rapture is fucking awesome. Everything in the city is Art Deco (think Chrysler Building or Great Gatsby). Rapture was originally created by Andrew Ryan as a city where scientists could create outside of regulations put in place by governments. The result is the discovery of ADAM, a substance produced by slugs found on the bottom of the ocean. This ADAM can replace a person’s cells with Stem cells or something, which allows them to chance DNA to allow someone to become faster, able to heal quicker, or shoot fucking lightning out of their hands.
The one problem is that the sea slugs can only produce a small amount of ADAM, one doctor, however, discovers that if you put the slug in a person’s stomach, it can produce 30 times the amount of ADAM for whatever reason. The catch 22 is that it only works for little girls.
So Andrew Ryan and the higher ups decide, “Well, let’s kidnap some girls and manipulate their minds in order to make them collect ADAM.” And so they do. The problem?
The people who use ADAM in the city of Rapture has started totally losing it, which is a side effect of using ADAM. They start killing the Little Sisters and stealing the ADAM, and so Andrew Ryan and the higher ups decide, “Well, let’s brainwash some guys, implant them and the little sisters with pheremones that attract them to one another, that way they can just murder the shit out of anyone who fucks with a Little Sister.”
And they do, and it works.
At this time, you, the protagonist have just crash landed near a lighthouse in the middle of the ocean that leads to Rapture, which is now a fucking MESS. Why Andrew Ryan still wants to run this place is a mystery to me, but there he is, among the shitty city, psychotic inhabitants, and murderous Big Daddies. Your first sight upon entering Rapture? Bloody murder.
The game throws a lot at you, and all of it is awesome, including some big twists and turns, which set the mood for other BioShock games to come.
Plasmids are fucking awesome.
BioShock 2
I absolutely LOVED the Rivet Gun. Big Daddy don’t look so big anymore.
My favorite installment flips the switch. In the first BioShock, you were a man thrust into a crazy environment, bent on beating up Big Daddies and collecting ADAM. This time, you ARE a Big Daddy. In fact, you’re the first Big Daddy, Delta, and you’re looking to get your dear Little Sister back, whom you haven’t seen since you were forced to put a bullet in your head ten years earlier.
It’s similar to BioShock in it’s gameplay, except now you can guard and adopt Little Sisters to collect ADAM, and Big Daddies aren’t the biggest or baddest of the bad guys anymore. Instead, Big Sisters are the ones you need to look for. They’re agile, quick, and laden with fire-blasting plasmids.
Big Sister – Always PMSing.
The plasmids available to you are similar to BioShock 1, with a a few awesome upgrades and changes. Different, however, are the weapons. Remember those huge drills that the Big Daddies always had from the first BioShock? Now it’s yours. It’s awesome.
In terms of story, the twists and turns aren’t nearly as big as the first BioShock, but the story is much more personal in that you’re trying to rescue someone you love from her batshit crazy mother, who now rules Rapture, and the writing does a good job building up the relationship between you and your former Little Sister, Eleanor.
In terms of plot, BioShock 2 is probably the simplest, but that might be why I like it most. Ah, what a great segway to the next game.
BioShock Infinite
Almost got it just….just lean…..little bit more….lean a bit…..they’re almost popping out just……ugh.
Contrary to the commercials, at no point is Elizabeth in danger of being hanged or killed. Not a spoiler, just sayin.
In terms of plot, BioShock Infinite is definitely the most…well…let’s call it intricate. It starts off with you posed as Booker Dewitt, a guys who’s seemingly been paid to go get a girl and bring her back to the people who are paying him. As someone who has completed the game, realizing how much this game changes totally blows my mind. The story is complex, maybe the most complex story of any game I’ve played, but if you can follow it, it’s pretty damn awesome. In fact, when I first completed the game, I was slightly disappointed by the story, but after analyzing it, I think it’s mind-blowingly awesome.
BioShock has gameplay that is set-up almost exactly like the gameplay of the previous BioShock games, with a few changes being the way that you cycle through weapons, which I spoke about earlier in this post. Other than that, basics are the same:
Left Hand = Super-powers
Right Hand = Guns
Oh and Rapture is gone. Instead of a city under the sea, you now find yourself high in the sky, in a city above the clouds. The year is also far earlier, 1914 as opposed to the late 1950′s that BioShock is set in.
There are a lot of things that make BioShock Infinite awesome.
1. The Skyhook.
Happy landings!
Columbia, the city in the sky, is filled with rail lines, and early on, your character is given an object called a skyhook, which can be used to latch on to these lines and zoom you around the city. You can go fast, go slow, and jump off the rail lines, hurling your body at enemies as you land, subsequently knocking them off their feet and sending them falling to their deaths. Another use of the skyhook is an execution device, which violently tears through an enemy’s throat and dear God all that blood.
2. Elizabeth
And case you aren’t aware by now, Elizabeth has HEAVING BREASTS.
You’re paired up with the girl you need to save, Elizabeth, for a majority of the game. Usually I hate things like this. I remember the level in Goldeneye for N64 where you had to protect Natalia and the stupid bitch kept dying by running into gunfire. Well there’s none of that here. You don’t need to protect shit. Elizabeth can hold her own. On the contrary, she usually helps you out by providing money, salts, ammo, and witty banter. It makes the game feel like you’re playing it with someone else, you know, until you realize you’re just a loser playing it alone in your basement.
Plus her boobs.
3. There’s Racists and Religious Nutjobs, and you get to kill them
One of your first tasks upon entering Columbia is pelting a black person with a baseball. I just sat there debating, then they just told me I was an asshole. I should have pelted someone (you’re given options).
I don’t like racists. Even worse are religious freaks who try and saturate you with their gospel. Shut the fuck up. Well thanks to BioShock Infinite, you get to murder the shit out of these people. This game has a TON of racist shit going on, and no race is spared. Asians, Native Americans, African Americans…..their all touched on in this game. Even the poor get shit on. Through this, the white people, who are the real bad guys in this game, come out looking like real assholes, which makes it all that much better when you task a flock of crows with tearing out the eyes of some Ku Klux Klan member.
4. Vigors
You’re first vigor in the game looks sensual and seductive, and is given to you by a really nice girl…. It makes your enemies murder their friends and then themselves. Girl, I question your personality.
Plasmids, Adam, Eve. All of that shit can get confusing. You need Adam to buy Gene Tonics and Plasmids. You need Eve to use Plasmids. Well there’s not Adam in Columbia, just magic Vigors. They aren’t really explained, you just need to accept that they’re all magic, and you know what? Simple is better. All you need to use them are Salts. Running low on Salts? Just find Salts. Want a new kind of Vigor? Buy one or find one. Then drink it. Done. Easy. Simple. And you know what?
ALL OF THE VIGORS KICK ASS.
Unlike the previous BioShock games, you can combine Vigors with melee attacks to form deadly combos. I enjoyed launching enemies into the air and then electrocuting them or setting them on fire. Or launching myself at a group of enemies with the Ram attack (I forget what the vigor was called but it had a ram as the picture). With a certain melee combination, the Ram attack can punish whole groups of enemies. Fucking awesome.
One thing that was different about this game was that it was more of a weapons based shooter. I found myself firing the guns more than using my vigors. I’m not sure why, but I just felt as though I didn’t really need them. BioShock Infinite’s whole feel was different. Maybe it had something to do with the setting, replacing a dark, run down city with a bright, vibrant city in the sky. Unlike Rapture, where inhabitants were crazy and many areas were destroyed, the inhabitants of Columbia still enjoy basic daily routines. They have carnivals, go to the beach, and fire weapons at you when you steal their shit. For some reason, I prefer the dark, underwater hellhole.
SPOILER ALERT
My warning picture to you.
Yeah, now we’re getting into spoilers. BioShock 1 and 2 don’t have much really in terms of spoilers. At least not anything I feel the need to touch upon, but BioShock Infinite does. It has a lot. A LOT.
When I think back to the beginning, the game starts with such an easy premise of “Hey, rescue this girl and we’ll wipe away your debts.”
Holy shit. By the end of the game, the plot has been revealed to be SO MUCH MORE. It warps from that simple idea a LOT. It turns out that this whole scenario is based on some Scientist Lady finding new dimensions. She talks to her other dimension version of herself (who happens to be a guy) and eventually pulls him in. A whole bunch of shit happens, and as it turns out, you’re actually from another dimension, and the guy you’ve been trying to kill happens to be another version of yourself. The girl who you’ve probably been thinking about banging this whole time? That’s your daughter you fucking sicko. SURPRISE.
So in the end, you have to die before you become a religious nutjob asshole who builds fucking cloud city. The problem with this ending is that it solves NOTHING AT ALL.
Yup, the whole game is pointless.
As Elizabeth (or Anna as she’s revealed to be) says, there are thousands, nay, an INFINITE number of dimensions, so killing one version of Booker Dewitt isn’t gonna do shit for those other dimensions. Other dimensions are gonna have a Comstock, just as other dimensions are gonna have a Booker Dewitt. The difference is that those dimensions aren’t interacting with each other like the two in this series are. So in other dimensions, Comstock will have a fine life and not be an asshole (eh, he probably will be). You see the only reason that Booker Dewitt in this story had such a fucked up time was because the Comstock featured in the game happened to be in the same dimension as the Scientist Lady who figured out other dimensions. It just so happened that this Comstock needed an heir, but his dick didn’t work, so he stole his biological daughter from another dimension, thanks to the Scientist Lady. When the Scientist Lady has second thoughts 15 years or so down the line, she brings Booker Dewitt into her dimensions and basically gets him to fix her mistake, which he does…..sort of… (Old Elizabeth does kind of blow up New York in one dimension).
In the end you go back and fix it all by murdering yourself before you become that religious asshole. Writing these paragraphs is just confusing me at this point though, so I’m going to stop. Chances are you haven’t solved shit by the end of this game. And this scene after the credits just adds more confusion:
Wanna know my first impression? That title is a fucking mouthful. I’m going to refer to this comedy as YahaOre, because fuck all that long nonsense. I don’t even understand Japanese, so half these words mean nothing to me anyway.
I still can’t believe My Chemical Romance broke up… THEY SAID THEIR 5TH ALBUM WAS COMING OUT AWESOME WHY WOULD YOU SUDDENLY BREAK UP!?!?!?
As I listen to the opening play (a pretty good one too), I will state that so far it looks like your run of the mill, “Guy with no friends pissed off at the world will soon have a harem of girls despite having no qualities himself aside from insane jealousy for people who have friends.”
For some reason, “It’s Not My Fault I’m Not Popular” just popped into my head, and now I’m depressed.
Okay so what sets YahaOre apart from other harem anime or whatever (I’m not even sure YahaOre will become a harem), is that YahaOre is expertly done.
Mark a point next to Brains Base for this one, because it looks niceeeeee.
What I really love about this show, you know besides the clean art and animation, which is always a plus, is the dialogue.
The dialogue is so… enthralling. That’s probably the best way to describe it. I LOVE to hear the characters argue with each other, because Yukinoshita’s “I’m awesome and I know it” attitude is a great balance to Hikigaya’s “I’m not even going to try and make friends but I still think I have good qualities and I’ll argue with you about stuff and probably lose badly” attitude. Similar to Spice and Wolf’s arguments, but less apples and economics.
There’s also the music that plays in the background. I’m a big believer that music can make or break a show. Case in point: Date a Live. That fucking stupid music in the first scene made me hate the show. Too late to turn back, I already hate it. At the same time, I really like the manga, so I’ll enjoy that while I bash the anime (which has already almost caught up to the manga, so I don’t know where they’re going with the show exactly).
The music in this one is perfectly matched, and I noticed this especially from 8:17 to 9:22. The short string and piano notes add gusto to a bubbly conversational debate.
God damn I’m totally on today with my wordings. That sentence was so good that I’m adding it to the “tags.”
Fact One: Is hair this long even possible?
Seriously how much shampoo do you go through in a day?
The first two girls I see have hair down past their waists. You know how many girls I’ve seen in my life with hair down to even just their hips?
None.
Not one.
Not a single fucking one.
Just thought it was interesting.
Fact Two: All girls are jealous assholes
She’s pretty, so naturally she’s bullied by every girl who knows that they aren’t as pretty as her. So a girl has looks, you’re going to ruin her life? Makes perfect sense I guess if you live in an anime.
Does this shit happen in real life? If so, women are fucked up.
Yeah we get it already.
For the record, if a pretty girl thinks she’s getting picked on because she’s pretty, it usually just means she’s a stuck up bitch and deserves it.
Fact Three: This show is awesome.
Is there a single show out there this season that sucks? I haven’t found one yet (though Date A Live could be one).
Also, I guess people are calling this show OreGairu? Whatever I’ll jump on that bandwagon. Sounds cooler than YahaOre….probably makes more sense in Japanese too…..I wouldn’t know really.
J.C. Staff, I love you. Thank GOD you were the ones that did this anime. The Pet Girl of Sakurasou was awesome, and I can see a lot of comparisons already in Henneko, (Hentai-san and the Stony Cat).
Your options if you don’t find this show awesome.
I called it folks. This would be the darkhorse of the season. And I’m calling it again here. The art and animation are of course expertly done. The story explained thus far through the first episode was a perfect introduction to the full series story.
It laid out the basics of the character’s plights while also delving a bit into the first arc of the story, keeping the viewer interested and happy. As one who has already enjoyed the manga, I can say that so far, I LOVE what I see. This is what an anime should be to a manga: Something that builds on and improves an already good story, as opposed to something that trashes and destroys it, turning it into some sort of fanservice cheap-ass bull shit show.
Henneko is not about a porn. There is no real fanservice (J.C. Staff is actually pretty tasteful in that category), so you shouldn’t be mislead by the word “hentai” being in the title. In fact, all of the parts of the show that derive from the “Hentai Prince” tend to be the funniest parts. How could you not think that it’s funny when a person is forced to blurt out all of the perverted thoughts that he usually keeps to himself. Picture it in real life:
You’re walking down the street and pass a hot girl with some heaving breasts. You think to yourself, “Damn I’m love to put my dick on those tits.” Except instead of thinking it to yourself, you energetically and enthusiastically tell this thought to the very girl you’re thinking of, and she beats the shit out of you or something.
Okay, so it might not be funny if it happens to you, but watching it happen to others is. And to be honest, if I said that to some girl, I’m sure she’s just eye-ball me like I was a weird fucking pervert, and then go home and masturbate furiously to the thought of my dick on her tits, because that’s what girls do in real life, because girls in real life don’t make any fucking sense.
The manga is a good story, and so far the anime is accentuating everything that was good about the manga. I really couldn’t be happier.
The manga is awesome. The anime makes the story seem cheap and shitty, as though it was created simply to make money on fanservice. There are really no merits to watching this anime, and I plan on dropping it after my 4-episode test run policy has been completed, because after all, I said I’d watch it.
The manga is fucking awesome. It has everything paced perfectly. The characters are interesting, and there’s no shitty fanservice. You know when I decided that I hated this fucking show? THIS SCENE:
Everything about that scene SUCKED. From the shitty music to the shitty fanservice to the shitty sister acting like a fucking annoying sterotypical “onii-san onii-san” bitch. I swear to God if I hear one more girl say “onii-san” I’m going to flip. I don’t know what it is with Japanese people and incest. Fucking people…
You’re mother let’s you leave the house in that!? Oh that’s right your mother’s dead. Doesn’t excuse you from dressing like a techno-floozy though.
Fanservice like this pisses me off. Also, they didn’t make the sister badass enough when SPOILER ALERT, she turns out to be a fucking boss of a super technological organization. Yeah, there’s a good idea, why wouldn’t you put a middle school girl with a sugar affliction in charge of what I can only assume is a billion dollars worth of technological advancements?
Fuck this show.
UPDATE: Second episode was slightly better… but the music is God awful.
One of the most badass of female characters… After all, her “specialty includes flesh, and the laceration thereof.” One of the most badass lines ever I can’t wait till she says it.
Let me put it this way… If you can sit through the first episode of this show without your heart on the verge of pounding out of your chest, then there is something seriously wrong with you, and the killer thing is, we didn’t even get to the good shit.
And the actual flying-through-the-sky-totally-kick-ass fighting.
And Eren doisjgoiesgoijtrshoiugregjhoierg
I can’t say but holy fuck this was awesome. Rarely do I think that an anime is better than a manga (I’m looking at you Date A Live), but Shingeki no Kyojin might end up crushing it’s manga counterpart (which I admit, I’ve fallen far behind on). It helps that the budget for this show seems to be an immeasurable amount, based on the quality of the art and fluidity of the animation. Production ID does it again in terms of being fucking awesome. What’s really good is that they manage to pull off the horror even without showing the gruesome tearing of flesh that the manga so eloquently displays. Would the gore have made this better? Probably a bit, but I’m totally fine as is.
The one thing that sucks about this show? I want more. Now. FUCKING NOW. Shingeki no Kyojin is a rarity in that it’s a show PACKED as full as it can be with everything that makes a show awesome. Character development? Oh trust me, that’s happening. Amazing production we already talked about. How about drama? Slam dunk. One episode in we’re treated to the grim reality of life and death. Action and adenaline? This show’s got it by the bagful and after 2 episodes, we haven’t even gotten started with the action. What you’ve seen so far is almost like a preview. A short introduction. A calm before the storm.
Yeah, so far Shingeki no Kyojin is calm compared to what’s coming. Get ready for a fucking hurricane (mixed with 60 tornadoes, 8 monsoons, 13 blizzards, and 59 lightning storms).
heeheeheeheeheeehehaioahiovhiuehrviuheriuer Kid, you don’t know the half of it.
FUCK I CAN NOT WAIT FOR EPISODE 3… AND 4… AND 12. I bet 12 is where the SOOGI@#(U(U$(*#$@()FJ will happen.
Lazy Post? Maybe. But fucking God damn it. Where do I start with clearing this thing out? Suggestions?
Keep in mind I haven’t watched any of these shows in ages….some in years. It doesn’t help that I’m playing my way through the entire BioShock series and haven’t had time to anime blast between that and student teaching. Gotta start somewhere though…

One thing has always totally confused me. A lot of times, when you read a blog, authors are hesitant to reveal their identity of gender for whatever reason. For example, the glorious Canne. To this day, there is debate whether Canne is a male or a female. I think the issue came up in the famed Aniblog Tournament. I’m not sure if it was the first or second tournament, but I KNOW it came up. Now I don’t want to put Canne on the spot, even though I just did, but it is difficult to tell at times whether or not a blogger is a female or a male.
I literally thought that Envy was a girl until halfway through Brotherhood. Not my fault… This dude’s wearing a sports bra!
Now, does it matter what gender a blogger is? No. It really shouldn’t. But damn it, it helps to know whether you should use “him” or “her” when describing someone or their work.
As I said before, it’s tough to tell what gender someone is with out being able to see them. There are some really girly sites out there, covered in frills and the color pink and shit, and believe it or not, 5 times out of 10 there’s a male behind those frills. I’m totally cool with that, but let’s be honest, who would guess that a male would be injecting his own site with highly toxic levels of estrogen?
Avatars are misleading too. A lot of men have female avatars because let’s face it, females look way cooler in avatars. Especially a bad ass female with an eye patch or some shit like that.
Then of course there’s people with dinosaurs as their mascot, and it only seems obvious that those people are males.
Lastly you have those who swear all the time, like kluxorious. 100% of the time, she uses the word “fuck” 60% of the time. Currently, most people in society would think that someone who freely throws around words like “fuckass” or “shit-tits” would have to have some hairy balls located in a scrotal pouch attached to the human body next to a penile shaft, but that is not the case. Vagina’s are very apt swearing machines.
For example, when you think of Glothelegend, you probably think MALE. The letters probably scream out loudly in your head. “THIS GUY IS ALL MALE AND LET THERE BE NO QUESTION OF HIS MANLINESS!” You might even be offended by how manly I am. However, you would be mistaken, as I am actually a female.
When I first started ISSSing…oh hell, let’s just call it what it is…..when I first started BLOGGING, people would call me things like “bro” or “dude.” They all assumed I was a guy. I didn’t know why they assumed this, but I just went with it. “Hey, I’m probably not going to meet these people in real life anyway, right? Why can’t I be a guy?”
It started out as what was going to be a 2 week sham. Hell, I didn’t think this blog would last more than 2 weeks anyway. But then as I started to get into blogging, I ended up liking blogging as a guy…a lot. Sometimes, I’d pretend I had a hairy, girthy penis, and On the internet, I can be that bad-ass with balls and a dick. And let me tell you, it gives you loads more freedom.
People perceive you differently when they think you’re a guy. In real life (and maybe this is just me) people (especially guys) get turned off when a girl has the mouth of a sailor. But on the internet, as a “man”, I can blast the F-word or C-word at full volume, and it’s just “a dude bein a dude.” So hell….why wouldn’t I pretend to be a male?”
Lately though, as I restart and revamp Eye Sedso, clawing back from the ashes like a phoenix, I’ve decided to restart it the right way: as the female that I am.
I’m still gonna swear and spell everything like shit, but I’m going to do it as a female. GIRL POWER!
