A not-entirely non-fictional exchange between bitmap and Dez heavily based on the works of Pontifus and Otouto-kun Dez and bitmap strike back with a vengeance for Twin Angel episode 2! This time, we're lovingly plagiarizing paying homage to the very prolific Pontifus; more specifically, his episodic exchanges for the timeless Strike Witches with his brother, fittingly named Otouto-kun, and for Strike Witches 2, OneGreatTurtle. The "not-entirely non-fictional" part is a necessary clause here because the following exchange is heavily trimmed and edited because a lot of it ended up being my (bitmap) claiming every other character in the show as "mai waifu". You can understand. So, without further ado: (00:24) Salome is so hot. (00:26) Just sayin'. (00:37) Also a hikki. (00:48) -ssho~ (01:05) Yeah, she's totally a NEET thief. (01:10) Like a NEET detective, but the opposite. (02:12) It's a Milky Holmes thing, you know. (02:27) Man, you keep forgetting I have good taste. (02:33) And didn't watch Milky Holmes. (03:14) And yet, here we are, watching Twin Angel together. (03:21) So we are. (03:22) So, how did this shitty Tamagotchi-looking thing get so popular? (03:27) Don't they have like... actual games? (03:31) I like how it's a "game". (03:34) That's what it's called. Game. (03:46) Well, it sure wasn't because of that title. (03:58) Man, that thing is huge. (04:06) Do you really want to keep that in your chest? (04:06) Oh, this girl; I love this girl. (04:19) And apparently she has a name. (04:45) Why does the girl whose only role is to drop shit everywhere have a name? (04:53) She just carries those chopsticks with her everywhere she goes. (04:57) Wait, doesn't everybody do that? (05:10) Also, of course her name is Nyan-chan. (05:19) Also also, for the last episode, I was chastized over Twitter for using "crawfish" instead of "crayfish." (05:21) Too white trash? (05:49) Yeah, not Japanese trash enough. (06:28) "Tell me eeeeverything that was stolen." (06:37) It just sounds so bad if you assume he's the thief. (07:58) Seriously, this seiyuu does a really good creepy voice. (08:07) I know I'm creeped out. (09:10) You know, it seems like making this door 3D would be more work. (09:15) J.C. Staff just cares that much. See the full gallery on Posterous (10:09) How come these eyecatches aren't sexy? (10:13) I feel ripped off. (11:21) Yes, walk around the school in a towel. (11:26) What a reasonable idea. (11:53) In case the viewer forgot in the last 5 minutes that Aoi is a boob monster. (11:59) This would be solved if they didn't take showers in school. (12:07) Like regular people. (12:18) But you don't want to smell like chlorine! (12:33) I mean, we're not barbarians here. (13:47) He totally knows Aikido. (13:51) Just like Steven Seagal. (14:00) He's the Steven Seagal of anime. (15:22) How did a stuffed animal break a window? (15:26) That bear is going to have to pay damage repairs. (16:00) Salome is still pretty much just a Rozen Maiden reject. (16:11) Wait, how does she know exactly where the tiara is? (17:34) And what about the bear being all menacing and shit? (17:52) A brilliant red herring. (17:56) Pappy is a creepy name to call anybody, never mind your butler. (18:04) Well, he is a creepy dude. (18:19) Let's go fever time!! (18:29) Haruka's transformation is nice. (18:36) Aoi's is just... *boing*. (18:52) How does the arrow... (18:54) What did it even do just now? (18:58) Just kill the wrecking ball's momentum? (19:01) It's an Angel Arrow. (19:01) It can do anything, as long as it's convenient for the plot. (19:24) Oh, right. Silly me. (19:51) Why isn't Haruka dead by now? (19:58) Or at least missing a foot? (20:14) More importantly, what the hell is with that monkey statue? (20:45) "I wonder which one of us is the true dumb-ass..." (20:49) Man, Misty Knight tries way too hard to be cool. (21:10) Can you just make up combo moves like that? (21:15) Angel Tornado... (21:18) Oh, and Attack as well. (21:19) This show doesn't have very good names. (21:46) I love my Kugyuuuuuu, but why is she on the roof? (22:02) Because Twin Angel? (22:10) Because Twin Angel. (23:26) Oh, on a last note, I should take the time to point out that the translator translated "KyunPara", the trendy abbreviation Haruka made up last episode preview, as "From today" for some reason. (23:34) It's a perfectly valid localization! (23:40) Foreigners just wouldn't get it, you know. (23:45) Lousy foreigners.   Permalink | Leave a comment  »
