Fanservice Fight! An entirely biased comparison of To-Love-Ru, Kanokon, and Junjou Romantica
Apr 26th
It’s Fight Night (Morning, Afternoon, etc.) at M3 as we finally begin the attack on the spring season!
Ironically enough the first three shows I watched were the three I expected most to make me want to go Oedipus and stab my eyes out, the fanservicey pair of To-Love-Ru and Kanokon, and the BL (Boys’ Love) show Junjou Romantica.
It was an experiment of sorts, a stretching of boundaries to see whether perhaps there was good in these two genres after all, but more than an experiment, it was a chance to satirize the hell out of these three shows…
(Surprisingly, the post is relatively safe for work after the jump, as all images are in spoiler tags so you can choose to view them or not, in case LOOK OUT SHE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU CLOSE IT!
But seriously, no actual nudity, just some very close or – depending on your orientation – very awkward content.)

Trendspotting Shortpost: Late-blooming glasses girls
Mar 26th
Ma~i.
She says ‘Pooh bear’ to glasses. Ahaha~
Mao, Chairman of the People’s Republic of Kouichi.
Mao and the Great Leap Forward into glasses land.
Tomoyo Before.
Tomoyo After. See what I did there, etc.
Hiromi, basketball player.
Hiromi, grabbing-undies-off-clothesline service gymnast.
Is this some sort of moe sandbagging or something? Hold back on some of the niche appeals, grab a person’s heart through genuine character development, and then, bam! Megane in the closing episodes of the show. Who do I have to thank for this idea?

(I feel like I’m missing a few from recent visual novel shows, but this should be plenty disturbing.)

And a Kanon imagepost can make miracles happen
Feb 19th
Admittedly, it’s gotten harder to write after taking nearly a week off. But luckily, the lack of posting doesn’t mean that we (and by we I mean me) at M3 have stopped trying to bring you the best and most interesting (and by ‘best and most interesting’ we mean ‘most related to Yuki Nagato Satsuki Yumizuka Shiori Misaka’) in anime-related happenings.
As you may recall I mentioned in my last filler post that I was heading down to Anime On Display (a.k.a Anime Overdose) in San Francisco, which was an entertaining if not a small and brief one – I imagine that would describe a lot of anime series I enjoy as well – and now I find myself exceedingly far away on the other side of California in Los Angeles, checking out with family the Happiest Place on Earth (and by that ‘happiest place on earth’ I mean ‘exploring all the Japanese bookstores around Disneyland that I love so much’).
You would be correct in imagining that this doesn’t really help in terms of making time for posting, and so it’s another filler post served up for today, but you know what they say; better something than nothing. As long as the medium in question doesn’t have a finite length of content, at least.
Luckily my extremely disturbingly large – but always worksafe – image folder is definitely not finite, as once again I’ve taken it upon myself to cull a ridiculous amount of images from AnimeSuki and Danbooru into a image pack, this time for Kanon in a 23 MB bundle of both old and new images. Posts will happen when it happens – I’m going to have to take KimiKiss 19 into account for my next harem ranting post now.
Sporadically-updating blogs still turn out well (was going to wank some blogs here but couldn’t find enough; so just smile and nod if you post on a semi-rare basis), so no worries, since the track will be gotten back on before you know it. Cheers until then.

(Also in terms of anime happenings, finally starting Ever17, continuing to swear at KimiNozo, trying out the To-LOVE-Ru manga, still trying to get around to comment on all the Valentine’s Day stuff – especially Tokyo Marble Chocolate.
Final note – picked up a $4 Megami magazine, and one of the Code-E DVDs ranked in right next to Clannad – above Lucky Star – in terms of sales. Unless I’m reading random names with numbers next to them wrong, this means that it was a hell of a lot more popular over there than it was over here. I’m impressed – now just to wait for the airdate for season two…)
A Nagato imagepost can fix everything
Feb 17th
Everything.
It’s been a busy weekend so I apologize if no post comes up until Monday or possibly Tuesday (y’know, Pacific Time). I suppose as a teaser I’ll let on it involves some predictions, arguments, and comparisons between some of the most heated harem-style romantic wars this season. Which, y’know, is basically what I’ve done about 25 times already – and still loving it – but this time I’ll see if I can understand just why fans think the way they do. For instance, why do we only cry tears for the ‘fallen’ in Clannad, while we go and construct effigies to burn ‘less deserving’ leaders in KimiKiss?
(And by ‘we’, I might just be getting at ‘me’.)
Again, it’s a ‘what makes things tick’ question, and the answer is: explosive devices. Or, at least explosive characters. Damn those haremettes for actually having personality!
The main reason for the delay is an impromptu trip down to Anime On Display today, so maybe if I see anything interesting in my first convention I’ll cover that.
And now, images.
(Invisible Update:) Well, not really. Imageshack be hatin’ on me, so I’ve uploaded a zip file to MegaUpload instead. Download and enjoy. Thanks for your patience.

(In other news of the random, went to try Dance Dance Revolution SuperNOVA 2 in the arcade yesterday, and it turns out they have a Gurren Lagann song on there – “Trust”, and apparently it’s Yoko’s image song. They had the Sky Girls OP on there as well. Either Konami of America knows their audience – sweaty white anime fanboys – or they didn’t feel any reason to get rid of it from the Japanese conversion. It’s #1 on the Most Played list on the machine, too. Intriguing.)
Imagepost: You ever woken up wondering…
Feb 4th
“Gah, what am I going to write for the blog post today?”
And if you didn’t ever think that while groggy at six in the morning, congrats! There’s hope for you yet. Or, alternatively, shame on you for not being as devoted to piling another editorial, episode post, or way-out-dated-by-now reference to that one post by Bateszi onto the heap of anime blog posts.
In any case, time is short and I’m saving my ammo for a more content-filled post than a half-baked summareview (yes, I’m still in training in the art of word-make-up-majig-ing) on some year-old show that is still remarkably good, and, if I could make myself believe it, vaguely overlooked, or at least underblogged, so as a result it’s going to be an imagepost instead, with about 30 images, replete with “I’m trying to hit a deadline” funny commentary, culled from my four core imageboards, Danbooru (when I feel confident enough that I blocked all the dirty tags), and that one awesome guy on AnimeSuki who always posts like a million images in the image threads, so, thanks to them, and hope you find some new images in this post.
Incidentally, I meant to put a period somewhere in that above paragraph, but decided not to on the first chance, changed my mind on the second, and decided to stretch out the joke like a bad British comedy subsequently. I suppose it should be noted that I am not at all waiting for my images to upload on Imageshack while typing this out. Is this is an experiment with dry wit as a post-style, mixed with a bit of pseudo-live-blogging? I suppose. I would like to be more witty, more often, but there’s never time in the posts.
