I kept saying I wouldn’t write my rants on here but I think some people like that so I guess I will anyway. It started out because Anime Next finally picked the winner of their mascot contest. Yes I entered, no I didn’t win nor did I make the finalists. Yea I was a bit down however, what really pissed me off is WHO they chose as the winner. It’s one thing when someone I admire get chosen whose art I feel is superior, however the pic they chose was incredibly ugly and what makes it worse, is there are two runner ups which deserve to have won instead…and why? Because I think they are not only better drawn, but the character looks like a PRETTY FEMALE ANIME MASCOT which I feel should be the “IDEAL” form of all anime mascots.

After all, if we wanted ugly anime mascots, we could all just stick to watching whatever shit they air on Nickelodeon these days. Continue Reading »

So the last few weeks I was drowning in corny because of the way they handled these last 2 episodes. I felt like I was taken back to 1996 where girls blushed when they accidentally held boys’ hands, and when the thought of kissing made them roll around their bed hugging a pillow. They didn’t clearly state that really the reason Tsuwabuki asked Sumomo out is because he found out (as Yuki-chan) that she liked him. Also the reason that she “ran away” from him wasn’t because “she liked the sensei” =_=; but because she was upset that he didn’t ask her to go out with him at first…but rather just said “I like you”…she she got all upset thinking that he didn’t actually like her until..he said it again =.=;; Also what’s with Nobuko x Keisuke? In the game, it was really obvious she had a bit of a crush on Tsuwabuki at first o_o. I also don’t like how they degraded Nona down to a “bad guy of the week” role. She’ll show up, bitch about some challenge, get her ass kicked by the amazing Sumomo, and then go off crying about it or something. I wish they’d give her more real screen time to develop her as a character, rather than an annoying plot device.

And also, the kiss scene in the game was 20 times better than what the anime did =_=;;

I dunno….it just doesn’t feel like Sumomo & Haru were “developed” enough to convince me they’re in love with each other. It was so chopped up that while I love this kind of stuff, in this case it floods me in a sea of corny.
