Around the time I was pushing through Soul Link and Joshikousei (two of the most painful shows I’ve ever seen), a lot of people referred to me as a masochist. I was watching anime that hurt me, on purpose, and enjoying it. Damn right I was enjoying it. I’m an attention whore, and if a [...]

Thanks to jj, I found out that the guy who made the Suzumiya Haruhi Gundam Parodies of the OP and ED has been up to a lot recently. This person, named plamo on YouTube, has not only made a parody of Touka helping Hakuoro in episode fourteen of Utawarerumono, he's also made a Gundam parody of the end of the episode two of Suzumiya Haruhi and the God knows... song from episode twelve. In addition, this guy has created Gundam parodies of several OP and ED sequences including: Gokujou Seitokai's OP, Koiseyo Onnanoko Joshi Kousei GIRL’S-HIGH's ED, incl. Magikano's ED, Magisuki MAGIC Mai-Otome's ED, Otome ha DO MY BEST desho? Suzumiya Haruhi's OP, Bouken Desho Desho? Suzumiya Haruhi's ED, Hare Hare Yukai And that's just a portion of all the videos. I found all of them incredibly entertaining. I love the attention to detail, such as the way Strike Gundam's Aile Pack comes down after defeating the enemy Gundam just like Touka's hair floats down after she kills the enemy general. The Gokujou Seitokai OP made me laugh so much and reminded me of how much I liked the opening song. plamo's homepage can be found at http://ugougo.gejigeji.jp/. It includes a page for the "cast" of the videos and a page of production notes for each video.

If you haven’t watched the show, this list will probably mean nothing to you, but Joshikousei has turned out to be a rather good Slice of Life show that started from humble fanservice beginnings to turn out to be a well rounded and interesting single season anime. When I first started watching Joshikousei, I expected it [...]

I picked this show up again because I was watching worse shit. In contrast, it seems godly. Also, catching up on this show could mean postponing the next viewing of an episode of Joshikousei. Win and god, I say.

Um, there was very little fanservice this episode. And the episode didn’t suck aside from bad production quality. Well, maybe if you dislike the premise of the episode… but I think they pulled off the gag pretty well! I’m speechless. We’re all going to die.

On anti-recommendation (i.e. people begging me not to watch it) and on purchase and perusal of this month's Megami magazine, I decided to download the LIME anime subs of Joshikousei ~Girls high~. Basically, in a word, I am impressed ^_^. Joshikousei is not only a shamelessly fanservice show, it also deals with aspects of fanservice [...]
