Does Enjoying Perverted Humor Make You Perverted?

EDIT: This post was edited to include Inukami, which certainly deals with perverts.

Hmmm. This one is a tough topic to tackle…..err…..terribly?

What the hell was that supposed to be?

Okay, all poor attempts at alliterations aside (oh an accidental alliteration! [And another! {AND ANOTH-

Get one with it.

Ah….yes……so…….Perverted humor…..does enoying it make you a pervert? for examp- Oh, I should say, most of these links are safe for work, if not, I’ll let you know…anyway, examples:

Take some kind of perverted manga….sayyy Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen! As the name suggests (hentai means “perverted”), this manga is quite perverted (see the picture above?) Although this perversion is all in the name of good fun. There’s really no nudity, and is generally filled with greatness. Let me fill you in.

Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen centers around Kyousuke, a seemingly normal guy who does martial arts at his school, and whose mom happens to work as an S&M lady. But one day, he puts some panties on his head, and realizes that upon doing so, he suddenly has super human like strength, and thus becomes Hentai Kamen, a scantily clad warrior with panties covering his face, who usually  beats foes with some kind of perverted method (like hitting them with his man package, or tying them up bondage style. He’s almost like a perverted Spiderman.

If you can’t find humor in that small premise, then you better stop reading this right now, and go to church or do something non-perverted, because you obviously aren’t ready for this post, or its direction.

Let’s take on a bit more, revealing manga, a personal favorite of mine, My Balls. Some people might see this as actual hentai, just because it might have some nudity (every chapter) and “sexually related material” (like actual sex, every chapter). These people are obviously retarded and will probably live the rest of their lives as sad sacks of shit.

That was kind of harsh, don’t you think? Won’t someone take offense to that last statement if they think of My Balls as hentai?

No. Anyone still reading this should be cool enough where they don’t take offense to something as arbitrary as that comment (if it applies to them). Anyway, it actually is technically hentai, because it’s perverted, but it’s not like….HENTAI hentai….I think….it’s all censored anyway. My Balls is about a 19 year old kid (he’s legal) who loves this girl he works with, who happens to be a complete babe. One day, he is walking home hammered off his ass, when suddenly an evil devil bent one destroying the world is accidentally sealed away in his testicles by some angel. He has one month to keep her inside his balls, because if she gets out during this one month, she will destroy all of humanity (she only has one month to do it, due to some kind of contract). Basically, he can’t bust a nut or the world will end. Needless to say, he is suddenly met with more ejaculatory opportunities (other than self-masturbation) then I’ve probably ever had in my life, including the appearance of a lesser devil named Elyse, who was sent from Hell to make him bust. Can he survive for 30 days?

Now the difference with this manga and something like Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen, is that Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen is more along the lines of Dragonball (kind of shoneny), whereas My Balls actually has nudity and sexual situations (like sex, doggystyle, cowgirl, reverse cowgirl, 69, 29, because the kids are young it’s 9 [NSFW [language], but don’t worry that wasn’t a link to child porn, it’s the funniest joke ever]). Anyway, what I’m trying to say, as I laugh over the greatness of Bob Saget, is that My Balls is much more mature than Ultimate!! Hentai Kamen (or at least intended for mature audiences).

Perhaps this is why I find it so funny. I’m not mature at all. I have to supervise 14 year old middle school pricks at summer camp, and they’re probably all more mature than me. I mean, I’m sure we’ve all seen ridiculous stuff and laugh at it, like, for instance….I’m sure many people have been jerking off to a porn flick, when suddenly something happens that makes then stop mid jerk and just start laughing their ass off. It’s happened to me, and I’ll be damned if I’m alone in this, because porn is fucking funny. Here’s a picture, before a story.

Puni Puni Poemi has plenty of perversion. Likewise, I thought it was really fucking funny.

One time, I was with some friends of mine (this was before I really watched a lot of anime I think) and randomly, the most perverted person among us, found a hentai (like, actual hentai) clip, with a girl getting fucked by some weird monster……needless to say, we all immediately died laughing, so much so that we actually died (from the laughing). I don’t know what it was from, but personally, I never want to know….it reminds me of the first time I saw a girl suck a cock. Me and my friend were on the computer (this was BACK in the day), and around that time was the time I think Napster first started. We were watching a hot girl in a bikini (Heather deep throat) and at first it was just her in a bikini, looking hot, we didn’t know what was coming next.

She took off her bikini, and we were like “Yeaaa, her boobs are nice!” because we were like, in middle school or something. Suddenly, a massive cock, must have been 18 inches at least, was thrust onto the screen, and we yelled in rage, half laughing, and immediately deleted the video……..later, we both watched it on our own time, and it turns out, she fit the whole thing right in her throat. Now that’s a keeper.

That was the fucking stupidest story I’ve ever hea-

Anyway, to get back on topic (for once), Does enjoying these types of manga/anime/tv shows, make you (or me) a pervert? I enjoy the previously listed perverted manga, as well as several others, like Onani Master Kurosawa, Koe de Oshigoto, even KissxSis (the anime isn’t funny, and is just stupid) is pretty funny (despite the loli/incest…actually, I’d say that adds to the humor, as it is retarded in itself) based on the fact that it’s so incredibly stupid….I mean, almost everything about it is retarded, and I love that aspect of shows. (Here’s another random picture)

This has nothing to do with the post, but this guy is just awesome.

Okay you know how I said I edited this post? Here it is:

Inukami was awesome. I think of it as one of my favorite anime. Surly it is no coincidence that it dealt heavily with perverts of all sorts?

Jesus Christ, in the first episode, Keita loses his clothes, because the main “bad guy” has a power that removes clothes from men (I think it was the first episode). Not to mention, in the movie (I think it was the movie, it might have been the end of the series) the day is pretty much saved by Keita, who assembles all of the perverts to help overcome….whatever it was they were overcoming (wow, for being one of my favorite anime, I really can’t remember much about it). I’ve never seen an anime stick up or perverts like this. Is that why I like it? Am I……..am I a pervert!?

Don’t care, moving on…..

So what I’m asking is, does making these types of media outlets make me a pervert? I assume you are all greeting this question with a resounding and unanimous “Yes”. Well allow me to retort.

Saying that me enjoying a large quantity of perverted humor makes me a pervert (or anyone for that matter) would be like saying Lisa Lampanelli (NSFW [language]), and anyone who likes her (me) is racist. Quite clearly, Lisa Lampanelli is only as racist as everyone else, so if you think she is racist, then so are you. Wait, wasn’t I talking about perverseness?

Everything has perverseness if you look close enough.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection (I think). It has some sick fighting, but the only scene that comes to my mind is the one where Afro is fighting some dude, and is in some hip hop club town. There is a brief scene of a girl getting POUNDED up against a wall by some dude. And he’s givin it to her. He was like, “Yea….take that.” (NSWF, [sort of nudity] It’s not technically nudity (costumes) but it looks sort of real enough where it might be construed as such).

Hold on, time out. This post is about perverted HUMOR, not just shows. And who doesn’t like a dirty joke?

A guy walks into a sperm donor bank wearing a ski mask and holding a gun. He goes up to the nurse and demands her to open the sperm bank vault. She says “But sir, it’s just a sperm bank!”, “I don’t care, open it now!!!” he replies. So she opens the door to the vault and inside are all the sperm samples. The guy says “Take one of those sperm samples and drink it!”, she looks at him “BUT, they are sperm samples???” , “DO IT!”. So the nurse sucks it back. “That one there, drink that one as well.”, so the nurse drinks that one as well. Finally after 4 samples the man takes off his ski mask and says, “See honey – it’s not that hard.”

Not your cup of tea? Well here’s another one ass-hole.

This beautiful woman one day walks into a doctor’s office and the doctor is bowled over by how stunningly awesome she is. All his professionalism goes right out the window…

He tells her to take her pants, she does, and he starts rubbing her thighs.

“Do you know what I am doing?” asks the doctor?

“Yes, checking for abnormalities.” she replies.

He tells her to take off her shirt and bra, she takes them off. The doctor begins rubbing her breasts and asks, “Do you know what I am doing now?”, she replies, “Yes, checking for cancer.”

Finally, he tells her to take off her panties, lays her on the table, gets on top of her and starts having sex with her. He says to her, “Do you know what I am doing now?”

She replies, “Yes, getting herpes – thats why I am here!”

This is one of the least perverse pictures related to Queen's Blade, but I really didn't want a picture of Reina or Cattleya in this post.

Lastly, how can I leave out Queen’s Blade. Such a perverted anime has never been seen before by my eyes, and it was also one of the more enjoyable anime of 2009. I mean, it kicked ass! I’ve already said enough about Queen’s Blade on this ISSS, but if you want to know more, search it on my site, and be amazed by my great episodic reviews (I’m not going to say anything, because this post is long enough as it is, but I felt I had to at least mention it).

Anyway, I don’t have much more to say, and it’s late, and it’s getting to the point where I’m starting to have no clue what I’m talking about, so I’ll end with a question:

Does enjoying perverted humor make one a pervert?

Sasameki Koto: First Impressions

So, usually, I finish a show before I start another one. You may have noticed that I finished a few shows recently, but I also picked other ones up. Right now I am currently watching too many shows to keep up with, and there’s a lot of shit going on. So what do I do?

I start another show.

What the hell is wrong with me? I can’t keep up with this shit, I still haven’t finished shows from summer. Well, I felt like I needed some yuri, and decided that I would check this out. First episode? Awesome yuri.

Here we have the out in the open lesbian (Kazama), and the closet lesbian (Sumi). Kazama likes cute girls, while Sumi, Kazama’s best friend, is in love (apparently) with Kazama. Of course, Kazama thinks of Sumi as a friend, so pretty much everything sucks for everyone (mainly Sumi). Although there is a boy who seems to like Sumi a lot, so who knows what could happen! Needless to say, this kind of simple plot has me hooked (because of lesbians)………..then I watched episode two, and everything got turned upside down….to summarize. Sasameki Koto contains the following:

  • Lesbians
  • Unrequited Love
  • One of the oddest love triangles I’ve ever seen.

This show gets a

That is all, I suck.

PS: Girls can’t dunk like this:

Everyone knows that girls can't perform one handed slams.

The Decade Awards

This post looks long, but that’s only the pictures….okay it’s kind of long, but whatever.

This decade was good for anime. How does it stack up to other decades? I don’t know, this is the only decade in which I’ve really watched anime. (maybe a few years earlier, but that was really only anime like Dragonball Z and other shows that I went back and watched). Here are the best whatevers from 2000-2010:

BEST ANIME MOVIE

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time

This was a masterpiece directed by Mamoru Hosoda. I don’t want to give anything too heavy, but it centers around a girl named Makoto Konno, who one day discovers that she has the ability to time leap, that is, go back in time and re-do certain moments. I love time travel, I love shows about time travel. This is a movie about time travel. Not only that, but a great movie. I really don’t want to give away too much about the fantastic plot, amazing animation, or splendid work by Riisa Naka (who voices Makoto). This truly is a great movie of the decade, and I really don’t ever see another movie replacing it as my number one movie of all time.

BEST ANIME CHARACTER

Revy – Black Lagoon

I wondered about this one, for a few seconds. Other characters that I liked included Horo (Spice and Wolf) and…..well there were so many. But Revy is just too bad ass and awesome to keep down. She surpasses and beats out all of the stalker characters, quiet characters, Rie Kugimiya Characters, and other bad ass ones, and pretty much any other character I can think of as my favorite. If you don’t know why Revy is awesome, it’s because she kicks ass, enjoys kicking ass, loves to drink, can hold her liquor, is awesome, and will kill you dead. Aside from that, her personality is awesome, especially when she gets caught off guard by Rock. For the reasons, she beats out the folllowing notables as the best character of the decade:

  • Shana – Shakugan no Shana
  • Taiga – Toradora!
  • Horo – Spice and Wolf
  • Spike – Cowboy Bebop
  • Konata – Lucky Star
  • Mugen – Samurai Champloo
  • Inuyasha – InuYasha
  • Sesshomaru – InuYasha
  • Insert Name of Higurashi Character Here
  • Saber – Fate/Stay Night

There were more, but I’ll stop at 10.

WORST ANIME CHARACTER

Happosai

Wait, Ranma 1/2 was in the 90’s!

Ah-ha, but you forget the special episode at the It’s a Rumic World convention, and Happosai was in it, so he count’s for the 2000’s. Happosai, you suck. I’m not even going to get into how much I hate you.

BEST ANIME OP

Samurai Champloo: Nujabes – Battle Cry

Some days, some night, some live some die in the way of the samurai some fight, some bleed, sun up to sun down the sons of a battle cry…..

We need more hip hop in our anime OPs….

BEST OP SONG

Live Version:

OP Version:

Recorded Version:

InuYasha: Hitomi – I Am

I doubt any of you realize how much I like this song…..especially when the guitar “solo” starts about 2:45 of the Recorded Version.

BEST ANIME ED

Suzumiya Haruki no Yuutsu: Aya Hirano – Hare Hare Yukai

Personally, I like the full dance version more. (who doesn’t?). But yea, this is the most addicting ED ever.

BEST ED SONG

Suzumiya Haruki no Yuutsu: Aya Hirano – Hare Hare Yukai

Yup, same thing. This wins two awards.

BEST VIDEO GAME

Mirror’s Edge

This game is the only reason why I went out and bought an Xbox. Even though my Xbox doesn’t work, it was still worth the money to play this game, and beat it many many times. In fact, I would still be playing this if my Xbox never broke. Chances are, I’m never going to fix my Xbox, or get a new one, until the second Mirror’s Edge comes out (because it’s that good). This woul also win best Video Game Sound track, best graphics, coolest character, coolest looking character (both Faith, seen above)…..pretty much it would win everything. I love this game.

FUNNIEST ANIME SERIES

Bokusatsu Tenshi Dokuro-chan

This one was TOUGH. Detroit Metal City man….I honestly think that this is a tie, but I’m going to go with Bokusatsu for this reason:

This show is pretty much your average anime, with an outwardly cute appearance, that is to say, it looks like a show that is cutsey wootsy (or I guess moe). Yes, this show is moe. BUT, underneith it’s apparent cuteness, one discovers that it is anything but cute. It has crude humor (like poop humor, which is awesome) and Dokuro kills the main male protagonist over and over again in very bloody ways. It essentially takes two things that are as different as can be (moe + bloodyness) and combines them. Higurashi does this too, but not in the funny way that Bokusatsu does.

In the end, Bokusatsu is filled with such stupidity, randomness, and hilarity, that I have no choice to choose it as funniest of the decade.

SADDEST ANIME SERIES

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

There were a couple tear jerkers (if your one who’s tears get jerked). Others could include Clannad: After Story and Fate/Stay Night (the only ones on my list that I would consider here)…but yea. You watch this without getting choked up at the end. You can’t do it. Especially with the montage. I got choked up. I might have even shed a tear or two. A montage will always be sad (even the one in Queen’s Blade was almost kind of sad….sort of maybe [not really though]) Truth be told, I haven’t watched many sad anime in my life, so who knows.

MOST SUSPENSEFUL ANIME SERIES

Monster

I was going to put Deathnote, but frankly, nothing touches the amount of shear awesomeness and suspense that I got from Monster. Brilliant shit.

BEST ACTION ANIME SERIES

Afro Samurai

This kind of fighting is probably the best kind of fighting there is. This, and Samurai Champloo (which have very similar animation styles) were both at the top of my list for best action anime. They just get me hard (not in like, a turned on kind of way, but in the kind of way that the President from DMC “gets wet” [pretty sure she actually gets wet though]). I want more. More anime like these.

BEST ANIME SERIES DIRECTOR

Akiyuki Shinbo

I couldn’t find a picture of this guy anywhere, so here is a picture from one of his latest works, Bakemonogatari. Shinbo is the man. Shinbo is a visionary. Shinbo gives me anime that are awesome, unique, stylized, humorous, and portrayed with just the right amount of randomness.

BEST ANIME MOVIE DIRECTOR

Hayao Miyazaki

At this point, anyone reading this should bow. Yea, that about sums it up.

BEST ANIME SEIYU

Rie Kugimiya

I know you’re all probably shocked by this choice, but let me explain. I really like Rie Kugimiya’s voice acting. In fact, if I were a stalker (which, sadly, I’m not), this would be my target. Ooooo that’s WEIRD.

MALE?

Norio Wakamoto

Yea, this one’s a no brainer. Who doesn’t like Norio Wakamoto?

BEST ANIME SERIES

Welcome to the N.H.K.

InuYasha has finally been passed. I realized this as I was re-watching this series.

Wow, I almost made a mistake, Welcome to the N.H.K. was very very very awesome, but unfortunately, I watched 4 straight episodes of InuYasha: The Final Act a couple days ago, and my mind has been latched on the show ever since.

InuYasha/InuYasha: The Final Act

I know I’m probably the only person who would consider this my favorite anime (in the past decade/ever [they’re the same thing for me]), but let me explain:

InuYasha was, at it’s peak, the most popular anime in Japan (I’m pretty sure I just made this fact up, but I know that the manga was acclaimed for all sorts of shit). It even took a few years off, and then came back. I even liked the FILLER EPISODES. In fact, I could watch a whole season of InuYasha fillers and be completely happy. Why is this? It’s because I not only liked the characters, story, etc, etc…I like the whole WORLD that the characters lived in. The feudal Japan world with demons to kill and all that good stuff that Rumiko created was one that I would gladly live in. Boo guns, hooray swords and fists! Besides this, I feel like the story is one of the most intricate, multi-faceted stories I’ve seen (I mean, there are MANY of these, but I like how each character was trying to accomplish their own things individually, and still collectivly destroy Naraku. Ex:

Sango wishes to get her brother back/kill Naraku

Miroku is worried about the Wind Tunnel/Sango/wants to kill Naraku

Shippo does nothing/wants to watch Inuyasha and the others kill Naraku

Do you understand what I mean? Okay, I’m obviously having a difficult reason explaining why I like InuYasha so much (this is what, the fifth time I’ve tried explaining?), but no other anime occupies my thoughts in spare, non anime watching time, like InuYasha has. InuYasha wins, and the new season is fucking awesome. I want live action now (directed by me, with no relevance to the original story whatsoever [I have obviously thought about this, and have a plot formed in my head])

EDIT: It was ranked 20th out of the top 100 anime series in the year 2006…it’s top 100 anime series all time, up to that point, not just anime made in 2006, so I was kind of right before.

BEST MANGA

This girl's face makes it looks like she has to shit or something.

Gantz

Hurry up and FINISHHHHHHH. I want to read it through, the last chapter I read was 304, and I’m waiting for it to become close to finishing before I read anymore (maybe like 3 years of a wait…or more. Gantz kicks everything’s ass. InuYasha is second.

If XBlade were ever FUCKING TRANSLATED, then IT might have actually become first (yea, I like it that much).

Now, here are some other awards:

BEST REGULAR MOVIE

Avatar

Yea.

FUNNIEST REGULAR MOVIE

The Onion

This movie was literally side splitting. My sides hurt at points from laughing. The Onion kicks ass.

SADDEST REGULAR MOVIE

Up

You can go ahead and call me a pussy, but I got choked up, I’d say, 6 or 7 times over the course of this movie, and I even shed a tear or two. I don’t know how this could happen, but it did. I mean….shit…..maybe it’s because I never watch sad movies (the only other movie I’ve seen that I thought was sad was The Perfect Storm. Another sad movie was some old thing with Robert Redford, where he traveled into the past, I have no clue what the name of it was, and I only saw the last 15 minutes of it….it was probably a pretty dumb movie overall, considering that I saw the last 15 minutes and understood the entire movie. Let me look for the name…….

BEST ACTION MOVIE

Kill Bill vol 1 & 2

Okay, so this wasn’t actually an action movie. Whatever, I don’t care. Oh, by the way, this wins best story of the decade as well. Go fuck yourselves. The Matrix would wins this, but it was 1999. Quentin Tarantino also wins best regular director of forever. (he already won next decade as well).

That’s all can really do, but I don’t want to abruptly end thi-

Happy Holidays

I wasn’t going to write anything like this, but yea, happy holidays.

I already opened presents, because my family is stupid and opens presents at night. My top three?

  1. Pulp Fiction (Yea, I still didn’t have a copy)
  2. 2 bonds for about 200 bucks
  3. Hair Trimming Stuff

I also got a nike hoody (which I needed badly) and some art stuff I probably won’t ever use, but asked for anyway. I also got a whalers hat (like a snow one) that, despite being whalers, I will probably never wear, because I already have a winter hat that i absolutely love, and is warm and comfortable beyond belief. I still hate Christmas music, with one exception.

I also got a movie pass, which I will use to see Avatar for what will hopefully be the tenth time.

What I Really Wanted, But Didn’t Ask For:

  • The Girl Who Leapt Through Time dvd
  • A shitload of anime (like the complete season of Welcome to the N.H.K.)

Tomorrow I have to go visit family, which I despise doing, because most of my family is annoying. Merry Holidays (he said in a politically correct way).

Avatar.

NOTE: GO SEE THIS MOVIE IN THEATERS NOW. IT DOESN’T MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PAY, IT’S WORTH IT.

One could say that Avatar was amazing. One could say it was brilliant. One could say that Avatar was phenomenal. One could say these things, but if they did, then they would be undervaluing, under-appreciating, and underestimating this movie entirely. Here is the trailer, which pales in comparison in every way possible to the movie.

The fact is, you absolutely MUST see Avatar in theaters at LEAST once. It’s worth the money to go out and get the cinema experience, especially 3-D. Avatar, aside from being one of the greatest cinema feats ever, was on such a different level of other movies and films, that I don’t see anything better coming along within the rest of my lifetime, not just in movies, but in music, picture, anime, anything. This movie is jolted to the top of my list, and is the most astounding thing I have ever witnessed.

Whoa, hold on there. I shouldn’t jump the gun on this. Am I really saying that this movie, which I was blown away by only about 30 minutes ago, is better than Pulp Fiction? Hmm, I’m going to need a few days to think about that, but I will say this:

Remember that movie called The Dark Knight? It was pretty damn good, right? I mean, Heath Ledger as the Joker? All around a great movie. I know, because I saw it in theaters three times. Well Avatar makes me want to throw out my DVD copy of the Dark Knight, because Avatar makes The Dark Knight look like a piece of shit movie. Here’s a graph between the two:

You know what? Why am I picking on The Dark Knight? (that’s because both films were long, as Avatar is 2.7 hours long) but neither actually seemed long….if I could, I would’ve had Avatar be 12 hours long). Let’s take a look at my whole list of top ten movies:


Pulp Fiction
Fight Club
The Matrix
Kill Bill Vol 1 + 2
Caddyshack
Snatch
The Dark Knight
Wall-E
Lucky Number Slevin
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

.      .      .      .      .      .      .

Really? That’s my list? Seems kind of shitty to me. In fact every single movie seems like crap, after what I just witnessed. Wall-E? A great movie, definitely deserving of the list, but honestly Avatar kills it. Fight Club? It was pretty awesome, but there is more bad-ass-ness, and more greatness in Avatar. Pulp Fiction? The only one I’m on the fence about. I’ve got to be honest though, I’m thinking of making Avatar my entire top ten list. It’s in a different league. and here’s why:

Special Effects

Really? That’s your first topic? So it looks flashy, that doesn’t mean it’s story is necessarily any good.

Umm, yes it does. The special effects are INSANE and UN-REAL. If you watch the HBO preview, you can get a good idea of just how much work, effort, research, planning, and technological…..well…genius went into making this film. They created a new species, and I’m not just talking about character design, they created a culture, a social structure, fuck, they even created a new language for this species. It was amazing. Oh wait, I was talking about special effects. Well, I have never seen a 3-D movie, and I honestly felt like I was going to throw up during the previews, but about a minute into the movie, you adjust, and suddenly everything is really really really really really really awesome. At one point I thought that there were flies in front of me (the moron next to me was swatting at them). At one point, when a character jumped off a cliff, I held my breath, because I felt like I was jumping off a cliff. I felt IN THE MOVIE. And from an argumentative perspective, allowing one to be in the movie gives them a better connection with the characters, mainly that of the Na’vi (tall blue natives), and their planet, which is ten million times better than Earth, because of it’s incredible species (which looked outstanding) and it’s incredible wild life (especially at night, I was literally in awe). Ughhh, I want to live there.

The Cast

Probably one of the better casts. It had no weaknesses. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephan Lang…..even Joel Moore (JP from Grandma’s Boy) managed to pull in great performances. I was particularly impressed with Sigourney Weaver, who proved that she’s still got it. The acting was just phenomenal all around.

Anyway…

I could talk about Avatar more. I could talk about is incredible development of character (especially the main character), the intense scenes, the epic (literally EPIC) battle scene at the end. The similarities to anime (such as was done by Canne, personally, I see it more as Princess Mononoke). I could talk about the plot, which even though wasn’t the most imaginative plot, was still a FANTASTIC story, and was written very, very well. Most of all, I could talk about the absolutely AMAZING and BRILLIANT directing by James Cameron, who, in my opinion, made his greatest film ever in this aspect. I could talk about these things 16 times each and it wouldn’t be enough. Bottomline is, it was worth 14 dollars, heck, it would be worth 25 dollars, and I want to see this again right now. Literally, I’m going to go every chance I get. I am DEFINITELY going to see it again. The movie experience for this film is a MUST.

You know what, the more I think about it, the closer Avatar becomes to Princess Mononoke. Both have a sacred forest (or deal with the sacredness of the forest, and life in general). Both have a guardian, or God spirit. Both have a common enemy trying to destroy or cultivate the forest. Both have a character that sees both sides of the argument. They’re both awesome movies, although Avatar is ten million times better, and I’m pretty much one of the biggest Miyazaki fans out there.

El Cazador de la Bruja – First Impressions

So I decided that I had to pick this up, due to several facts:

  • Bounty Hunters
  • Girl with mysterious past/power who is pretty much retarded
  • Mexico

Mexican bounty hunters rule. In fact, this show inspired me to create a great premise for a movie, which I’m not going to get into much, and instead I’ll just say that a Japanese girl with a samurai sword goes through Mexico can kicks everyone’s ass. Anyway, I’ve seen 3 episodes so far, and I like what I see.

First of all, I was really intriqued by the setting of Mexico. However, I also realized that it was done by the same studio that did Phantom. Now, I originally gave Phantom pretty good marks, but as more and more days go by, I feel like the show is getting shittier and shittier in my mind. Honestly, everything about Phantom now seems corny, stupid, and even annoying. But I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about El Cazador de la Bruja. So what do I like about it?

1. The Setting

I believe I already stated that I love the setting of Mexico. When I think of bounty hunters, I think of two things, Boba Fett (kicks ass) and Mexico. Why Mexico? Probably movies like Desperado, Once Apon a Time in Mexico, The Mexican, From Dusk Till Dawn….movies like that (which all happen to kick a lot of ass). Now, there aren’t really any bounty hunters in any of these movies, but there’s a lot of guns, shootings, and general awewsomeness. Another such movie would be Machete:

Machete looks fucking awesome, and I’ve been looking forward to it ever since it was announced that it would be made into a movie. Danny Trejo kicks ASS. Robert Rodriguez is also planning on making two sequels, “Machete Kills”, and “Machete Kills Again”. This is probably the most I’ve looked forward to a movie since Inglorious Basterds was announced (which also kicked ass). I should mention that I am very bias toward anything done by Quentin Tarantino. Anyway, I digress.

2. The Characters

I am talking only about the two main characters, whom, so far, I absolutely love. Ellie is essentially brainless, speaks with what she believes to be enthusiasm (but clearly isn’t). It sounds like she says everything half heartily, or lazily, but not on purpose. It’s really quite hard to explain, but I love it.

The other main character is Nadie, a bounty hunter who is awesome, but also carries around a pretty happy attitude along with her two pistols. She has an awesome Mexican poncho, and generally kicks ass.

There are several other interesting looking characters, like this other bounty hunter with the small child. It remains to be seen what happens to them.

3. The Plot

As far as I can tell, Nadie was about to take in Ellie for a bounty (because Ellie apparently killed a professor, but there also appears to be much more to it than that), but somehow, she ends up traveling with Ellie, and helping her, while protecting her from other bounty hunters and would be child rapists (well, at least bounty hunters). This seems kind of simple, but it looks like there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes.

So far, I like it, let’s just hope it doesn’t get stupid.

Queen’s Blade GoTM 12 & Final Review

As this is the final battle between Aldra and Reina, I’m actually not going to do an episode review, and instead I’ll just say this:

They're fighting in a colloseum, so you know it's going to kick ass.

Okay maybe I will review it. Basically, in the fight, Reina is getting pounded. Right when she is starting to think that she has no chance of winning, Risty shows up and mutters (from deep within the crowd), “Fight Reina” or something to that effect. Immediately Reina becomes unbeatable. Now I’ll talk about something that isn’t actually completely retarded.

Airi, remember her? She died right? That’s what I thought, but if you remember, they never added a montage for her like they did with Shizuka, and sooo……

Sheeeee's BAAAAAaaaaackkkkk.

Sheeeeee's BAAAAAAAaaaaccckkk.

That’s right, Rana, who easily surpassed the non existent security in the castle, found Airi’s scythe still lying on the ground in the room with the frozen people. Apparently the castle guards or Aldra or whoever doesn’t bother to clean up or anything. Anyway, one lone guard shows up, and Rana throws the scythe at her. The scythe happens to have Airi like…..in it or something, and…..well……just look at the above picture. As Cattleya and her tits are reunited with her husband and son, Nyx finally completes the transition to awesomeness and stands up for herself while not under the influence of the rape staff.

Meanwhile Nanael creates a new name for Flabby Pink (Melona), which is a pretty awesome name, but personally, I prefer Flabby Pink.

What the fuck is plasticine?

I have a better name for Melona. Consider this, she is played by Rie Kugimiya, and she’s small. She is now riding on Nanael for transportation. Obviously, she should be called Melona-tan (like Shana-tan). Next thing you know, she’s going to be pulling out Nanael’s hair and eating Melon Bread (or Melona Bread [that was a shitty pun]) on top of her head.

Anyway, in the fight, Aldra supressess Reina with her Eye Flash technique, and then people question about whether or not she is a demon. She retorts by subsequently freezing all of the people in the audiance (except people like Tomoe and Risty, who somehow didn’t get frozen).

Randomly, all of the weapons belonging to the fighters of the Queen’s Blade start glowing, Apparently these are somehow Reina’s feelings. At this point, I’m getting pissed at the stupidity of this fight. As Reina starts to win, Aldra brings out her secret weapon:

I think it would hurt if you tried to pleasure someone with it.

Finally, Aldra shows us what he metal strap on dildo can do, as she fires penis projectiles all over the place, breaking off Reina’s armor until she is suitably barely dressed. After Reina then kills her in one shot, the fallen angel, Demonstra or some name like that, comes out of Aldra and makes a huge dramatic entrance, claiming that he will kill them all or some shit like that. Nanael waits till he finishes talking, and then simply pours some Holy Milk on him and then everyone kills him.

So it ends, everyone is happy (except Shizuka, who is dead) and Reina is the new Queen (much to my dismay). How about the series?

Series Review

When comparing to the first season, I thought that this season had much better writing, and as a show, was a lot better as well (not to mention the tournament, which I love, and which was the reason why I started watching this in the first place). However, I was mad at the following parts:

  • Less completely stupid and ridiculous fan service to make fun of.
  • Reina didn’t fall off a single cliff.
  • Reina didn’t die.
  • Nyx never got her revenge, and instead just ran back to Lord Fuzikawa or whatever the Rape Staff’s name was…..what a whore.
  • The names of the characters (like the first season) are ambiguous. Sometimes it’s Reina sometimes it’s Leina, Risty can be Listy…….They’re R’s people. R’s. Mellona can be Melona (I prefer Flabby Pink), Nanael is sometimes called Hopeless….I mean, jeez. Pick a name and stick with it.

Besides these minor details I really enjoyed this series overall. In fact, it was one of the better series of the year. I gave the first season a grade of a 4, but I’m going to up that to a

FINAL GRADE = 5

That’s right, a 5. A quality grade for a quality show. That’s all I’m saying on the subject of Queen’s Blade. Hopefully Baka-Raptor or TJ will write a Queen’s Blade post that is more in depth than this.

Kept getting hard when he tried to fight Queen's Blade. What a pervert!

Nyan Koi!: Series Review

As I finished Nyan Koi, I came to realize that this was the 150th anime series that I have completed in my short, meaningless life. That’s an impressive amount of time wasted watching anime! Needless to say, I’m pretty proud, not only that I have completed almost half as many anime as most anime bloggers out there, but also that number 150 wasn’t some shitty anime like Kanamemo.

Nyan Koi!

My likes and dislikes of an anime usually are based around wether or not I like the characters. Give me a show with shitty plot and sick characters, and I’ll most likely enjoy it a lot. The same can kind of be said for Nyan Koi. The plot isn’t really anything too special, a kid breaks a statue and gets cursed, and he must now do 100 favors to cats (which he can no talk to) or else he will turn into a cat himself. It’s not like someone sat around for days coming up with it, but still, I found this anime to be one of my favorites of the year (that’s right, the year), and that was due to character appeal and great comedy.

The Main Character

In case you're wondering, yes, I did steal this picture from Google, because I'm lazy, and this fits my description, in fact, I'll give you the exact site: http://brianandrew.wordpress.com/2009/10/05/nyan-koi-episode-1/

Junpei Kosaka: In most harems, the main character is usually just a dude with almost no originality or appeal whatsoever. He’s just normal. At least Junpei has a twist on this. He’s got some personality. First of all, he can talk to cats (and has this curse), which immediately sends him into crazy situations, which he as to somehow get out of. Most notably is in the last episode, which I will not spoil. He is also allergic to cats, and thusly is normally sarcastic about the whole situation he is in. Let me draw a comparison:

Junpei Kosaka to Keitaro Urashima (Love Hina)

While Keitaro is most notably a nice guy who lets others walk all over him, Junpei is mostly annoyed and sarcastic, except when he is around Mizuno, who he likes. Most harem leads tend to be overly nice (at least that I’ve seen), at least Junpei has some sarcasm (a great quality that I have a lot of. In fact, if I’m not sarcastic at least 10 times a day, I will…..uh…….do……something……………anyway, yea.)

Top Five Other Human Cast

I think you could guess which twin is which based on the usual facial expressions of tsundere characters (who quesion hemselves more) and stalker characters (who believe that what their doing is fine, cuz it is).

Kotone Kirishima – I have her in my character page (yes, I’m still adding to it) as my favorite character of this series, and that’s mainly due to the act that she is an awesome stalker (of Junpei) who feeds on misfortune of others. Some stalkers are good (notably, these two), and Kotone keeps this going. She’s got everything from camera and microphone bugs in his house to a GPS on Junpei himself. She get’s an A as a stalker.

Akari Kirishima – Kotone’s twin sister. She’s a tsundere type, and these two make a great combo.

Kanako Sumiyoshi – Here’s the person that I hope wins out in the end. She’s the typical big titted, strong “I’ll beat your ass because I can since we were friends some time ago” type of character. I wish she still had her awesome makeup from the first episode though.

Kaede Mizumo – Why is she awesome? Because she has odd little things about her like the rest of the characters. She loves pretty much anything to do with yakuza (mafia) and also loves cats (but has like, 4 dogs). She’s a bit to nice though.

Nagi Ichinose – Here we have the “tomboy” character, who is a girl (duh). While Kaede likes yakuza, Nagi happens to be yakuza. Isn’t that great? Also, she has a sarcophagus for some reason, but I can’t remember why.

Cats

This picture curtosy of (stolen from) Random Curiosity through Google Images.

Nyamsus – Junpei’s fat, black cat. Reminds me of Rosie O’Donnell for some reason.

Tama – The cat that lives at the temple. He’s……idk……..there……the cats aren’t really that important in my opinion. I’m going to stop talking about them. Let’s talk about the funny.

The Funny

I don't know what this thing is, but it looks pretty God damn content with sitting on this dude.

I love the comedy in this show, and there will be one spoiler joke in this paragraph. Sometimes it’s dumb, and I like that.dumb comedy and cheap laughs are among my favorite things. People have said that Family Guy has cheap laughs, and that’s one of the funniest shows on TV, besides It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and South Park. I’ll only give one example, because I don’t want to ruin any funny. Junpei always yells at cats to shut up (or something to that effect) and Mizuno thinks that he is yelling at her. This is moderatly humorous, but what is really funny is that they both kind of just stand there for a few seconds, and then Mizuno suddenly jets off at the speed of light. I LOVE those gags.

When it’s all said and done, Nyan Koi is very enjoyable. I can’t wait for the second season, that I’m sure will come (I think they announced it in the final episode, but I’m not sure if they actually knew or not themselves). For Nyan Koi, it receives a

FINAL GRADE = 5*

Oh Bill.

Queen’s Blade GoTM 11: Err…Review?

Isn’t this series already over? Where are the subs? Whatever….anyway, to start things off, we learn why Aldra is being such a bitch:

Apparently, her half demon sister was abducted, and she’s been looking for her, which is why she destroyed Tomoe’s home. She then asks Tomoe to become her suborinate, but Tomoe refuses. Meanwhile…

I don't even have a comment here. The subs speak for themselves: she's a huge slut.

After a short time of Reina acting like a prostitute, and flashing her tits all over the place, we are suddenly thrown into the second to last Queen’s Blade Fight:

Semi Finals: Reina vs EH Risty (not Listy, Listy is gay sounding. Her name is Risty)

Die Reina Die!

Reina takes some hits early, but then she showes, EH Risty the double sided coin, and EH Risty suddenly seems to turn back to Risty, at which point Reina beats the shit out of her.  However, just when it seems that she is remembering who she really is, the Demon living inside of Aldra takes control, resulting in Red Eyed EH Risty.

Red Eyes always make a character better.

At this point Red Eyed EH Risty begins choking Reina to death, but was apparently doing it wrong, because Reina was still able to talk (which means she could breath too). If you are correctly choking someone to death, they wouldn’t be able to speak, because speaking requires air to flow through the vocal passages. Reina tells her to think of the children (gayyy) and Risty comes back to herself but then reverts back and forth and I really don’t know what the fuck is going on. Luckily, Flabby Pink steps in:

Flabby Pink....best name ever.

In the meantime, Risty completely loses it, and is CRYING BLOOD (damn!). She turns back to normal when Reina beats her.

Lose your top, lose the fight.

Anyway, after a small bit of trouble, Flabby Pink manages to get the milk onto Aldra, but wouldn’t you know it? It wasn’t enough. That’s because Nanael lost all of it, because she doesn’t understand what a bottle cap or even a cork is used for. If you keep the top open, shit is going to spill (dumb fucking angel). Anyway, Flabby Pink accoplishes what she set out for, but it doesn’t do shit (as far as we know). Anyway, this sets the stage for the final episode:
