Do Not Taunt Happy Fun Ball
Introduction
So, I’ve been in an anime whirl-wind lately. What does that mean? It means I’m trying to watch too much anime at once. So far I’m watching Blood +, Helsing, KiddyGrade, Tenjo Tenge, GunXSword, and Darkstalkers Revenge.
All of them are fairly decent, that is except Darkstalkers. This one is basically a six episode/40 min per episode series long commercial for a really bad knock off of Street Fighter.
Yes, I played the game when I was a mere scrub out of high school working my first gig at a laser tag arena. Oh the memories that brings back. I digress.
I realize that really, all cartoons are are just 20 minute long commercials for merchandise.
You see the show, you buy the toy, the lunch box, the bed sheets, the endless posters and what-not. Then, they make a movie and bang, you go out and get all the swag from that little cinematic adventure. (thank you Dane Cook)
I was a follower of this and still kind of am. I’m just not as bad…maybe.
Bah, I can quit but my desk will be baron!
Moving on.
Anime Law of the Day
Anime Law #24: Law of Americanthropomorphism
Americans in Anime appear in one of three roles, either as a really nasty skinny 'Bad Guy', a big stupid 'Good Guy' or the ‘Cocky Prick Know-it-all’ that berates and second guesses the smart, handsome/beautiful Japanese hero.
First Corollary- The only people who are more stupid than the big dumb Americans are the American translators. (Sometimes referred to as the Green Line Effect.)
Second Corollary- The only people who are more stupid than the American translators are the American editors and censors
The Vad Bag
I bought some instant water one time but I didn't know what to add to it.
I busted a mirror and got seven years bad luck, but my lawyer thinks he can get me five.
Features
Try this one on for size. This is what happens when the legendary (in my opinion) Jim Lee
gets a hold of a cinematic masterpiece like Ninja Scroll.
Bon Apetite!
Parting Shots
This year’s hot toy item is the Civil War Military Field Hospital play set. It comes complete with two saws, 100 feet of real gauze, needle-nose pliers (for those hard to reach wounds), 3 wooden dowels (for bitin’ down on), and a whiskey sedative/ antiseptic kit.
Some assembly required.
