Apparently, as the picture says, the guys are finally gonna get off their lazy ass and kick some serious fansub ass in April (lol). Well, talk about irony. The very people who made anime so wildly popular suddenly become blamed for the losses incurred by companies who never bothered to sell their content to those who wished to buy it. God I wonder what's going on with this world. Are they making anime so they can get money from filing suits against fansubbers?! No way in hell would the once-was-fledgling industry have become so lucrative without the massive free publicity brought in by these people. Even funnier, their argument of not making much from it holds no substance at all. If it wasn't lucrative, why would they be doing it anyway? And putting so much effort into doing it? The truth is out there, and has always been out there. Everyone knows how much money the industry is trying to squeeze from every last tsundere available to them, and even if people do things that are weird sometimes, face it, this world still runs on logic.

On a lighter note, I have finally recovered from my internet withdrawal symptoms. Here's a big Thank You to all those who supported me in my darkest hours when broadband was unavailable. So, so long and thanks for the fish! Oh and look out for the new audoilet concept, the next big thing in the audiophile world.

Of course, a few days ago a very delicious box was sitting outside my home, playing the guitar and singing "Where have all the flowers gone" while ignoring me as I walked down the driveway. This is how extensions to the e-penis always are. They hate you, then they become a part of you. Here's a toast to the newest member of my Panel on the Table. I'll be sure to write a blog post about that soon. Meanwhile, an acute wave of fatigue just swept past me, legacy of the insomnia that has been part of my life to fill in the void left by what was once the Internet. I must now slowly recover from it through my extended beauty sleep program, and 2 doses of widescreen CLANNAD and Shakugan no Shana Second. Will report my condition later. PIECE OUT

This ain't an emo post, I saw a picture of Kagamin at night and it triggered my thoughts and made me recall this song. I'm not sure why. Oh well, that'll do for my post tonight.

Would you dance,
if I asked you to dance?
Would you run,
and never look back?
Would you cry,
if you saw me crying?
And would you save my soul, tonight?

Would you tremble,
if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh?
Oh please tell me this.
Now would you die,
for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Would you swear,
that you'll always be mine?
Or would you lie?
would you run and hide?
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don't care...
You're here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

Oh, I just wanna to hold you.
I just wanna to hold you.
Oh yeah.
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don't care...
You're here, tonight.

I can be your hero, baby.
I can kiss away the pain.
I will stand by you forever.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.
I can kiss away the pain.
And I will stand by you, forever.
You can take my breath away.
You can take my breath away.

I can be your hero.

I used to think he was gay, that's why he could not face the fact that Light was Kira. Oh well, he's proven me wrong. This season really is turning out to be one boring season. It's winter and there's nothing to watch. The anime companies must have their asses frozen to their chairs this winter, preventing them from ever getting up to sharpen their pencils. After watching H20 for a short 2 episodes, I got so sick of it I decided to throw up and forget about that anime.

I mean, come on, seriously, Spirit of the Sounds of Time Otoha-chan? Man, that makes King of the Meanest, Baddest Intruders of Soul Society sound good.  Did I mention the anime has a lousy series progression and an even lousier plot? In episode 1, (don't worry this won't spoil the anime one bit, because it has already been hacksawed into a million ugly pieces of FAIL by the producers in just TWO episodes, they probably are the record holders of fastest rotting anime ever) the boy of the harem is blind. That's it, the rest is rubbish. Then in episode 2, the boy can see again! As if Jesus came down and told him to see again. I mean, if that was the case, why didn't they show it? What the hell is up with him suddenly waking up the next morning and suddenly have fully functional optics?! It's like Makoto coming back to life after being stabbed by both Sekai and Kotonoha. (Actually I'd love to see that, and before he dies of pain and suffering while he looks at the two deranged girls whose virginity he took away, he must drown in hot boiling oil.

UGH... This is the worst season ever. I shall now stop ranting and watch this season's only saviours, CLANNAD and Shana. *ciaoz

Well, it's that time of year again. Most people have a love/hate relationship with this day, for many and varied reasons. Some hate spending today alone, others wish it could last forever because they are finally left alone. Humans are truly intriguing. Although social beings we may be, sometimes culture and seasons demand change, and sometimes it's Christmas that demands the most change.

It seems almost supernatural to think that during this day, 90% of the people in the world stops in their lives completely and celebrates/does something different. While there must be some essence and reason into why this day is so special, the fact of the matter is that it is one (if not the only) of the very few special days that the entire civilized world observes at the same time.

For those of you who are spending Christmas alone, don't worry you're not alone. Hundreds, nay thousands of people are still sitting in mIRC chatting about random stuff. If you feel like it, pop over. As for me, I'm off to a little party. So see you all and have a Merry Christmas!

*runs off with Christmas lights still tied to his feet.

Man, I cannot believe I did not notice this earlier until my brother told me about this. The famous Algorithm March that was part of the children's show called Pythagoras Switch (ピタゴラスイッチスイッチ) seems to have become more than just an internal joke among otaku. Of course this was made famous by the YHBT Asshats who were actually Dattebayo doing fansubbing in their free time, releasing a bunch of non-anime shows to appease naru and bleach-tards who bit their fingernails(or fingers) everyday waiting anxiously for Naruto xxx to be released. Anyway, check out the vids, handpicked int3rnet gold.

I don't know if Myself;Yourself is classified as a harem anime, but it got me thinking. After watching several anime series' that indeed involved one boy with 3 or more girls in what is effectively "harem" in nature, I realized that there were several basic ingredients required to cook up a Harem anime/manga/game. These ingredients then have to be taken to the artist and animation NPC who will then send you on your quest to seek out some voice actors to play the role. Usually these voice actors will also be recycled. Today however we shall talk about ingredients of harem anime.

Ingredients

1 noodle/sad excuse for a man
5 packets of sugar,spice and everything nice
1 tsp Tsun
5 tsp Dere
2 tsp Yan
1 tsp Hyperactivity
1 tsp Mystery
1 Breast-Growth Retarder
1 Breast-Growth Accelerator
1 Tome of Cooking Skill

That should do it, basically what happens is you mix those 5 packets of sugar, spice and everything nice and make 5 girls, then you sprinkle Tsun, Yan, Dere, Hyperactivity and Mystery as you like over the girls. Usually only one needs Tsun, because it would create fights otherwise. Make sure all the girls have Dere, or you would get a prophet-priestess or deranged murderer. Mix and match as desired.

Use the breast-growth retarder and accelerator and Tome of Cooking Skill on one girl each. This should leave you with 2 completely normal girls. Put in oven with noodle and bake for 23 mins at 37.5 degrees centigrade.

You should end up with the following girls if done properly:
Loli
MILF
Lunch Provider
Commander
Cowgirl

Though results may vary, feel free to add more things like yellow ribbons, hairbands, bunny ears, cleavers, violins and fire gods to make your anime even more exciting.

Now, in order to illustrate how you bake out a harem anime properly, we must show you some results that worked based on this set of ingredients.
