Do you think I’m going to let myself be shown up on my own blog? My name was in the street? When we bounce from this shit here ya’ll gonna go down on them corners and let them people know word did not get back to me. Let ’em know jason step to any mothafucka, Maid Guy, Hosaka, whoever. MY NAME IS MY NAME!

While it was fun for a while for maidguy to step in, I think it’s in everyone’s best interest if I returned and crashed knuckled down again. I’d like to thank maidguy for his posts, and I’d like to thank Nemo_N for making the vector of the Maid Guy Badge. He deserves a Maid Guy Badge. Anyway, maidguy was a huge liar when he said that I was “too busy running over pedestrians, picking up hookers, and shooting cops while vacationing in Liberty City.” Boldface lie. I was doing all of that in San Diego.

Anyway, I have a lot of random stuff to take care of before we hit my inbox…

If I told you that the guy from Bandai who is producing the English version of Gurren Lagann has a blog, and that he wrote about Gurren Lagann making it to cable soon, would you be interested? (It’s looking like Sci-Fi Channel, BTW.)

Also, speaking of Bandai, looks like the Bandai Visual experiment has failed. So predictable, even my readers predicted it.

Great article on the man behind 2ch. I want to read a similar piece for moot.

If I told you that someone at Cornell made a plug-in for Azureus that allows you to search your peers, thus negating the need for any tracker, would you be interested? Especially hilarious since he uses a not-too-legit search for Battlestar Galactica as his example.

If this thing-a-ma-jig (whose name suspiciously sounds like a tentacle demon) ever gets a caramelldansen YouTube widget, I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

I watched The Karate Kid recently, and, my gosh, it makes typical harem anime seem believable. I’ll believe that a hottie like Elizabeth Shue will be interested in a loser who tucks in his T-shirts, has his mom drive him everywhere, and hangs out with a 60 year old Japanese guy after I believe that a space alien lands on earth and immediately falls in love with Rito. Though watching the interaction between Miyagi and Daniel-san… especially when Miyagi first does the healing trick on Daniel-san and when Daniel-san keeps, uh, bending over to show off his wax-on, wax-off… seems very… uh… ambiguous. Because I enjoy this movie so much, I won’t use the obligatory Lulu/Rolo reference. And, yes, if I didn’t have an anime blog, I would definitely be reviewing old school movies like Karate Kid, The Rock, and Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey. Whoaaaa!

Angie… Yuno… Yuno… Angie…

(And, yes, the Akise/Yuki relationship is now approaching Lulu/Rolo levels. It’s not there yet, but it’s becoming easier and easier to crack jokes about how close those two are getting. Either way, Mirai Nikki = fun for the whole family.)

My quickie “Almost Summer” awards… Best Writing (Daughter of Twenty Faces), Best Moment So Far (Tie: Maid Guy forcing a penis nightmare or Lulu getting rejected by Kallen and running towards Rolo for comfort), NBA Playoff MVP (Kobe), Most Intriguing Subplot (Can Suigintou make Ginka appreciate the wonders of women), Haruka Memorial Most Amazing (Fubuki), Stupid Guilty Pleasure (Special A), Horo and Lawrence Memorial Most Disappointing (Tower of Druaga), Most Pleasant Surprise (Chiko, Heiress of the Phantom Thief), Second Stupid Guilty Pleasure (Macross Frontier), Most Interesting Character (Kogarashi), Least Interesting Character (entire cast of Kurenai), Most Gar (Kogarashi), Mikuru Memorial Best Meido (Fubuki). Don’t read too much into these. I literally spent 30 seconds thinking about this before wondering how can the NHL schedule game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals about the same time as game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Oh, by the way, both involve Detroit teams playing near Detroit. I’m going to have to hunt down another HDTV.

Okay, now to my dysfunctional inbox…

i was thinking after i saw kamen no maid guy 4 if there were gonna be any scenes that resembled the jil vs. roper one in tower of druaga. Kogarashi delivered that with thighs
– Juan Franco

I know English, Chinese, a little Japanese, and Shannon Sharpe. I do not know Juan Franco. I think I understand “delivered that with thighs” as in “Kyou delivered her fanservice in thighs” but I thought it was Fatima vs. Roper… Jil… I don’t remember, and, if I do, I really hope you mean Trap Jil.

Behold the horror that is the Minami-Ke Chiaki robot *shudders*
– Saitoberry

I’m beyond terrified. Hold me.

Apparently “Shana Logic” is not a finite state machine with “tsuntsun”, “deredere”, “fight Crimson Denizens”, “eat melon bread”, and “provide fanservice” states.
– Sixten

Hold me with an orange plush pillow. I’m not sure what scares me more, the fact that this site has no melonpan pillows for sale or that it has a promotional deal with Shoujo Beat. Though, Sixten, please tell me that you do not subscribe to Shoujo Beat. If you do, you are probably the only Derailed reader who does. Holla if you subscribe to Shoujo Beat!

Not sure if you’ve seen/heard of Gizoogle. It takes a site (or block of words) and translates them into Snopp speak. If you have a moment you should check out how it translates your own site. I think you’ll find it hilarious…
– Apocwar

I thought there was no way maidguy’s dialogue could be improved… until now. Perfect Service Blog: Kamen no Maid Homey 6. My favorite line: “Are is ya like a motha fucka. Honestly, Killa that is always frontin’ me . Bow wow wow yippee yo yipee yay. You is blunt-rollin’ consciousness; you cannot T-to-tha-izzell tha difference between a dream n a reality . Snoop heffner mixed with a little bit of doggy flint.” Genius. Sunrise needs to learn of this service immediately.

~$17 for a life like core drill… you bet your ass I’m going to be wearing one everywhere I go!
– Tarage

Nothing tells the women-folk that you have drill that can pierce the heavens than a $17 life-like core drill. Um, does he take Paypal?

You need to check out Baccano! if you haven’t already. Quite complex, with a flurry of characters, but good eatin’.
– David

Baccano was a fun series (thank you Ladd!), but it’s not more than that. It could have been more and might even should have been more, but 15 episodes really crippled it. It really needed a full 26 episode season or thirteen 60 minute episodes (thank you Figure 17!) to really get the full story through.

Will you watch and write about it?
– Beowulf Lee

I am watching it! I give Full Throttle a solid 6 out of 10. Kosuke Fujishima must be hurting for cash to agree to keep milking this cow… and I’d still watch. As usual, I have no point. But, seriously, I’ll put this on my “after I’m done rewatching the DVD versions of Mnemosyne… or at least the hawt lesbian scenes over and over again” pile. Am I sharing too much?

(But I love bad writing as much as bad translation jobs.)

PSA Anime about North Korea abducting little japanese children! What the?!..
– BrokenMegumi

Why is there an English version… ? And why isn’t this on YouTube yet?! (Though I’d be more scared of the Kurenai fanboys than I would be of North Koreans. Cue all the angry Kurenai fanboys who insist the show is something other than The Baby-sitters Club in anime form.)

Did…did you know about this at all? I can’t believe they did this…
– talam

Eh, I feel like Motteke! has been over-parodied… especially when they’re bringing out the piano muzak version (which isn’t bad, but it’s a bad sign). I definitely think Triangular needs a good parody… the lyrics are gold: “What is this triangle for? Triangle! Triangle! Triangle!”

Andohbytheway, guys, if you ever want to get a lot of marriage proposals, shave your legs, learn how to play bass, and buy tissue in bulk from Costco. I read a thread recently (can’t find it now for the life of me) about how Tissue Hime gets like constant marriage proposals now on nico^2. Or just do it for the constant “This may sound weird, but you have the prettiest fingers” comments that pop up in YouTube.

Hi Jason.

I red your post about the mails you receive and when this happened it felt like a duty to report it to you since this was really broken (and so am I).

I was watching To Love Ru on Veoh when i red the comments on the video (well I always read these cause they are quite fun)… then I realized that almost all the comments where about “ecchi” and “hentai” meaning, that was what you could call an otaku battlefield. (though these otaku were fake ones cause they weren’t able to destinguish hentai and ecchi).

That’s why I wrote something like: “lol is this a lecture on “hentai” and “ecchi” or comments on this video… you guys are getting to hot on this, just relax and enjoy the show. If you do not understand the difference between ecchi and hentai just ask me but I’m not gonna explain this here.”

I wrote this thinking that no one would be bored enought to ask me…. well I was wrong cause someone asked me something like 2 days later. thinking that Kogarashi would laught at me if I don’t do what I promised (“Kukuku aren’t you ashame as a maid guy not to do what you have promised to ??” or something like that) I deceided to wright an article (yes an article, I mean this was a way too important subject to be explained in few sentences) on the meaning of ecchi and hentai (according to me).

now enjoy XD

[snip, here’s the full e-mail]

here is the main difference between ecchi and hentai animes, ecchi are “normal” animes with lods of fanservice/nude and still have a good story (well as good as any anime should have), hentai are made for porn so they do not need a good one, having one even stupid and making no sence should be enought (then u know a little more about the characters, who are not only “living” for porn but who have a normal life ect… it helps people using they imagination…)

well I think that I wrote the best lecture on this theme ever XD
– Maho0o

Yep… these are my readers.
