Macronize me! (Pats self on the back for lame Photoshop hair job) This rumor has been around for weeks now, but I couldn’t get my hands on where the official source is, so I couldn’t relay it as news. Episode 13 is just around the corner and we’ll get to verify if she does make an [...]

I have to sing the original theme song now. Or, well, listen to the Fujiwara Makoto original, followed by the Animetal version. I don’t really know if this is the actual, original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (last I checked it was sitting on Earth, chillin’ out and trying to mack on the Space Battleship Yamato, [...]

And I’m not talking about ecchi fanservice either. I’m sure this is evident to anyone watching the series. And, of course, I’m sure that no one minds either. The most obvious piece of fanservice in the show was probably in the first couple of episodes when they explained the history of mankind [...]

Sorry Impz, clearly Ranka is the superior green haired loli. Well Ranka’s latest coup de main offensive not only allowed her to sieze the initaitve away from Sheryl but has Ran Ran Ranka celebrating while Suki Suki Sheryl members are lamenting how a little fever dealt the most severe blow to their confident songstress. My suggestion [...]

Okay, Animesuki thanks to Psieye and Deathie and WarriorKK first!NOW TO THE WTF. Today did not go AS PLANNED. I am utterly shocked, flabbergasted, stunned and wtfrolfbbqpwned (RAEP WAS INCOMING, BUT THIS IS EPIC RAPE).In essence, let me express my shock in a slew of images with witty captions, worded in the style of /a/.[-OP BEGINS HERE-]What kind of faggotry is this?UN-BE-LIEVE-ABLE.I SEE WHAT YOU DID THAR KYOANI.SITUATION FUBAR.NOW IS THE TIME OF ZETSUBOUSIP.JPG(Ignore that last bit)In essence, I'm not wholly sure what or rather, HOW to make sense of all this. I NEVER DID understand KyoAni fanboyism. It scares me to no end and on the other hand enrages me to no end. A LETHAL COMBINATION.(Note: I really do like KyoAni for their Work on FMP: Fumoffu and Haruhi [SHOOT MEH I AM A HARUHIIST] so by no means am I anti-kyoani, I just cannot understand their fanbase's RABIDITY)Sadly, no challenger has appeared today except for TWO THREE. RANKA "NYAN-NYAN" LEE, NANOHA TAKAMACHI AND FATE. T .HARLOWN.At any rate, here are the results ---> HEREMy analysis of threats to look out for (and then some):Tsukasa and Kagami Hiiragi take the HIGHEST AND MOEST BROKE NUMBER OF NOMINATION VOTES WITH 42 and 36. H4X WAS INVOLVED. NO EXCEPTIONS.IN THE WORDS OF BROEK GURREN LAGANN RAP: "(Tsukasa is) MOAST INCREDIBUH SOULJAH FRAH UHNDERGRA."Fate comes in with 21, and so do Nanoha and Ranka. Yagami Hayate is in too with 21, but I've never seen her fare well, so only time will tell.In essece, the ever-popular Lucky Star faction (KYOANI WUT) make it in, And so does Nanoha's faction under StrikerS.It'll also be interesting to see how Macross fares, since it is legendarium in Japan and a has an established fan following. (And Nyan~Nyan is epic ^_^)I also detect Moetan votes, Ink-Chan and Sumi Kuroi. Can't comment too much here though. Moetan, is, well....MOE, and has fallen in the good books of Japan's Otaku (partially due to the book's Anime references). However, I have never sen any of the characters go far. THAT MAY CHANGE THOUGH.I also detect Myself;Yourself. I have heard of it by reputation, but I have never gotten down to watching it, so I am not qualified to comment.Author's note: I posted earlier a small dissertation about StrikerS. DISREGARD THAT. StrikerS is popular as it is a Mahou Shojo Anime. But I'm still uncertain about it, after all, Lucky Star beat it out this time, and Nanoha has always been one Saimoe's Titans. Then again...StrikerS is a time-skip.....JUST AS PLANNED?And that's all, till next column!
