Just what nation would build a 111 meter tall copyright violation and think it’s a great idea? Well, Korea doesn’t seem to mind. Someone sent me a link to an article over at Plastic Pals briefly describing this venture and the only thought that came to mind was, “ugh”.

I grew up watching little to no Korean animation, despite my upbringing by an overly zealous Korean Fascist… and I thank God every night for sparing me from this one pain. Besides, what kind of name is Taekwon V anyways? It sends shivers down my spine just stuttering the sounds that comprise that name.

Well, good luck to Korea, and I assume this is a lot better investment than buying decrepit F-14s from America. By the way, Robot Land is the stupidest name for a theme park, right next to Ireland Land.

At least their Engrish is tolerable.

As it turns out, today was the date set for something called MikuFES’09. And amongst the humble list of artists who will be present, the last name on the list surprised me. MOSAIC.WAV, known for their creation of the ‘new’ music genre “Akiba-Pop”, have jumped on the bandwagon and will be releasing a ‘collaboration’ CD with Hatsune Miku. Now the only part of all this that bothers me… Is that MOSAIC.WAV already has a high-pitched vocalist who gives me headaches. If you add in Miku to that garbage, just how awful will it become?

On the other hand, MOSAIC.WAV haven’t exactly been the talk of the town after Sumomo mo Momomo, Potemayo, and Kyouran Kazoku Nikki; so perhaps this is their chance to worm their way back into the afterthoughts of nerdy otaku socialites.

What a long wait...

This news isn’t new in the slightest, I believe it was announced nearly two weeks before Comic Market 76. However, my lack of enthusiasm for websurfing cost me dearly in this regard. That makes me sound like I actually care. Hah, nevermind that. I know I won’t be buying this.

A dark and dreary world full of noir emphasis. I see...

Oh lordy, why am I always ten steps behind the times? A Black Rock Shooter anime project has been announced, with all reason for me to be excited. I’ll admit, I’m not that infatuated in Vocaloid software or its music. But when Studio Ordet and ryo (supercell) is involved, how can I contain myself? Unfortunately Yutaka Yamamoto will not be directing this, so things are really up in the air as to how it’ll go. more…

No, this isn't the reason I'm broke. Though I wish it was.

Oh geez, I never thought it would happen to me, but it’s finally happened. I’m broke. My mother needed a large sum of money to pay off her debt and ensure that my two older sisters survive the next month without dying of starvation or alcohol poisoning. So I, being the generous son, gave her the entirety of my savings account. And as if preordained by the cosmos, my car chose this morning to decide to stop running as I made plans to go to the nearest Walmart and stock up on instant ramen for the next six months. So now it’s sitting in the parking lot as a $7,000USD paper weight and I’m stuck without a car for at least a good solid month until my next paycheck. What really bothers me though, is that I was planning on buying a WA-6SE for my meager headphone collection before all this went down. The stark reality that faces me now destroys all hope and optimism that I once held for this world.

As most of you already know, nearly 50% of my paycheck goes towards purchasing anime or manga; but now I will not be able to support the industry from the shadows like I have been doing. No more Kira Kira, no more imported manga, still no game consoles and all I come away with is a broken heart. And thus is the life of a messiah, I presume. Call me paranoid, but I believe this is karma for all the badmouthing I’ve done of Kyo-Ani.

I can honestly say Saki is the only thing keeping me alive after Haruhi repeatedly stabs me in the face every week. Episode 15 was good for two reasons: One, the fukushou matches ended. Two, the taishou matches started. I guess the fact Momoko is so adorable could be a possible third reason, but I’d rather not bring my sexual drive into this since my opinion tends to get awfully skewed in the presence of charming ladies. That may be why I’m still single. more…

How do you reward all the ungrateful blisters who complained about Kyo-Ani’s untimely schedule, haruhi’s second season being repeatedly delayed, and about their latest lineup of crap being… well, just that–crap? How about an endless time loop episode where it keeps repeating itself over and over again every week for over a month?

Well, Kyo-Ani’s gone and done just that.

Thus is thy punishment for all who hath complaineth of K-ON! Thus is thy punishment for all who hath sleepeth through the CLANNADs. And thus is thy punishment for masturbateth on Lucky Star figurines.

This is a troll. I know, I can smell it. As my first grade colleagues like to phrase it, “Takes one to know one.” Hopefully this will wake people up and help them understand that Kyo-Ani’s former glory left the studio with Yutaka Yamamoto. Even if it’s true that the scenes are new, the episodes are still the same.

Now, if you will excuse me I will perma-ban Kyo-Ani from our forum for not only trolling the world, but more importantly, me.
