I have to admit that even though I listen to a lot of internet radio shows the GAII (I'm not typing out that entire title) is still ranked #1 or at least near my favorite of the bunch. The new Lucky Channel one obviously would rival it due to possessing my new Goddess in it and all that nonsense. I have to repeat myself when I say that I enjoy the stupidest things in life. Like hearing a bunch of CVs playing random word games to pass 20 minutes of your life.

Obviously I've learned that my name is known in quite a few places among the English GA fandom. As for the topic, now I've doubled my internet celebrity status thanks to the GA Official site. Due to the fact I'm made of awesome, they put my question as one of the Anime Expo videos. In case they update again, the video was number #5, appropriately titled after the question that I asked. I have huge bragging rights among my friends now, not even kidding.

Oh and for the one person who might be reading this who watched Manabi Straight!, I promised these gals some screentime. So there are some photos of stuff I earned from AX. Probably the biggest individual amount of money I shelled over.

( What could it be I wonder? )

...will be at the Galaxy Angel panel.



BRAAAAAAAAAINS-----

Honestly, I can never say that Chairman Kidani evers takes a very nice picture. But no matter what, he'll always be good old Papa Zombie. Though I must admit, if I had created GA, I think I'd look a bit better than that. He probably just is a zombie, in which case he looks perfectly good for a man of his race.

Well, heading to the flight in about 5 hours from now. So it means I actually have to find a way to sleep. That and I'm still contemplating on getting my badge on Day 0. Meh.

I went with a friend to go check out Spiderman 3 today. I actually regret it as there was many better things I could have been doing. When I originally heard they were putting Venom in the movie, I had mixed feelings. Venom was always the classic Spiderman villian for me as a kid but I knew they couldn't explain his story without seeming idiotic. But it wasn't that that made the movie stupid. It was Peter Parker popping his collar and trying to pull off the emo bang.

I also decided to start reviewing Seto no Hanayome and Hitohira on Ask Likkun. Mostly because they're the two series I usually look forward to during the week. Hopefully I'll have the Seto no Hanayome review tommorow. Unless I decide to pull a Mawari and get hit by a car (Ha! Get it? It's...a joke...from the recent episode...you know).

( The Japanese GA Community is messed up. )

So Golden Week brought about a bit of fun recently. Since all of my friends across the Pacific are more or less relaxing, we're able to get together and talk more. As you could imagine, a 15-hour time difference or so doesn't lend itself to fun conversations. So since there was nothing new to discuss we decided to talk about past GA comments and conversations we had. It was actually kind of funny since we were trying to dig out old comments we made and discuss them with each other now. That and we were basically making fun of each other the entire time.

( GA brings people together. I think... )

A little article I've been meaning to write up. Sparked by many KyoAni debates and finalized due to the GA Artwork change...again. Divided it up using cuts because it's intimidating to find the right topic in there.

( Background )

( The Ups and Downs of GA Game Artwork Changes )

( Madhouse vs. Satelight: And how people need to shut it )

( Kanon sees change in a different way... )

( Scrap the manga? Or keep the style? )

( Good Anime and Bad Artwork or is it Bad Anime and Good Artwork? )

( If Animation Studios were women... )

To get the latter of this topic done.

Asakura's Character CD >>>>>>>>> Tsuruya's.

COOL EDITION is probably one of the best songs to come out of SHnY's character CDs. The only problem is they should have made Asakura's version of Hare Hare Yukai coherently evil and about running people through with swords.

Oh and SHnY also knows how to terribly milk their popularity. When you have to release character albums for Kyon's Sister (who has no actual name for gods sake) and Emiri Kimidori (who showed up for ONE FUCKING EPISODE), then you know you're milking the franchise. They haven't even done Kyon or Koizumi yet, is that coming next? Are we going to have 11 FUCKING VERSIONS OF HARE HARE YUKAI???? Hey we still have Kunikida, the leader of the computer club, and other minor characters to throw in. Maybe we can have a 100 song playlist with Hare Hare Yukai alone.

Now that I'm done throwing in my two cents, I put some final touches into the rules of my GA experiment rant. So...
