I wish that big dog in the episode would come here and bite all the annoying children outside my apartment in the ass. But anyway, I kept a mental count of every ridiculously generic shoujo/moe item this week because there was one every like 5 seconds. First we got the usual parody of Fuyu no Sonata - Fuyu no ANATA harr. Next we got the usual hand holding blushing crap going on, then we got the not so usual guy crying at the sappy movie (rather than falling asleep.) Then we got the usual group of friends spying on the couple, getting caught, apologizing and leaving. Also they even threw in a Clannad parody “If you have lots of kids you can be like a big daikazoku on TV” HARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. The best was of course the end where Koko grabbed him with the grip of death like Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.

Also, Yume was annoying as usual this week. She reminded me of XP Home Edition.

Things can’t be good when 2 evil women shake hands XD. So I guess this sorta confirmed that the Oyashiro sama no Tatari originated from Takano…not that it’s anything surprising. I was surprised to see Rika’s parents because I was so used to the both of them being dead. Also I didn’t really get the part with Satoko…it wasn’t HER that pushed the parents off the bridge right? I thought that was some implanted memory or something and in reality it was all the yamainu/Takano bunch? I wonder how long till we see Keiichi and the gang again…

So I basically stole the idea from Kabitzin about doing a request artwork for the chosen commenter.

JP suggested I do the 9001st commenter (over 9000!!!!) and when I looked at my comments we’re actually less than 500 comments away from that mark! XD So get to commenting if you want a request. P.S. I will not draw yaoi, yuri, hentai or any forms of Gundam. (*watches everyone run away )

So in order to celebrate their new home, Kinokuniya is having a cosplay day on November 3rd. Sadly that day I will be in NJ…and as much as I want 10% off, in the last 2 weeks I bought all the manga I needed already XD;; Oh well!

On Saturday, November 3, any patron dressed in costume who visits the Kinokuniya Bookstore at 1073 Avenue of the Americas (between 40th and 41st Streets) from 10 AM to 8 PM will receive a 10% discount off all anime and manga purchases and be entered into a raffle to win one of 10 complimentary weekend passes to the New York Anime Festival. In addition, the first 500 cosplayers will all take home a gift bag courtesy of VIZ Media.

Really I’d like to go just to take some photos at this point, but instead I’ll be in NJ celebrating my cat’s 13th birthday. So instead of photos of man faye look a likes, I’ll have some submissions for Icanhascheeseburger. If anyone goes do tell!
