Ya see, madness, as you know, is like gravity. All it takes is a little…push.
(Warning: Dark Knight spoilers forthcoming.)
“Tonight you are all going to be part of a social experiment.”
For my readers. I’m giving you a sporting chance. Heed this warning.
“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”
For Xam’d, Bones, and Sony. Easily the best animation, best music (and Shut Up and Explode isn’t even its best track), and most interesting story of the new summer season, Xam’d is not winning over fans by how much it is charging per episode. No wonder everyone and their uncle is trying to rip the show onto torrents: $4 to rent an Xam’d episode through PSN vs. $2 for a Gurren Lagann episode over iTunes seem outlandish enough, but that $400 for a PS3 is the dealbreaker. Well, at least Final Fantasy 13 is a PS3 exclusive… oh wait…
(I think best case, Xam’d becomes Last Exile meets Eureka 7. Worst case, I stop watching it and start plowing through the rest of Special A instead.)
“No, no, you… you complete me.”
For Suzaku and Lulu. You just know that they want to kiss and make up. And would you ever have guessed that if Suzaku and Lulu shared this line together, it would be roughly a million times more homoerotic than a guy wearing lipstick and make-up saying it to a guy wearing tight black pants?
(Though as Lulu continues his gradual transition into Luluko in fanboys’ minds, doesn’t this restore order in the world? Or would a heterosexual romance between Luluko and Suzaku be just too weird?)
“Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do if I caught it. You know, I just do things.”
For Sunrise’s scriptwriters. Was there really any point in keeping Shirley around as a character? Or keep Ashford as a setting for R2? Or killing off random people in the last 5 minutes of Gundam 00? Or the fact that 00 itself won’t be introduced until the second season of 00? Do they even have a plan? Or do they pretend not to have a plan, but really have some really hideously sinister plan– OH MY GOSH! Throw away though Gunpla figures! They’re tainted with addictive drugs that make you want to buy more Gunpla! Throw them away now, or you’ll end up like this guy.
“It’s the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer. You had plans and, uh, look where that got you.”
To Mnemosyne. I can forgive the jarring time skips. I can forgive the overall, arching plot that was convoluted. I can even forgive all the jargon to euphemize various sexual acts. Even with all the goodwill Rin and Mimi brought with their lesbian fanservice, I can’t forgive Mnemosyne for dropping a hermaphrodite villain on us. The show was going so well… and then it just went what the fuck. Both the wailing wall and the immaculate conception made me facepalm a bit. I doubled checked the credits to make sure Sunrise wasn’t involved.
“I believe whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you… stranger.”
For Birdy the MIghty. Being merged with a busty interstellar police officer is strange, but for anime, it’s par for the course. Though, I want to take this opportunity to welcome Birdy the Mighty to the Kamen no Maid Guy “Wait, Five Groups Are Subbing Sekirei But I’m Getting Ignored?” All-Stars.
“This town deserves a better class of criminal… and I’m gonna give it to them.”
To Ozel. Villain meido?! I’m intrigued. There are a lot of meido on shows airing right now– Code Geass, Daughter of Twenty Faces, Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret, Ryoko’s Case Files, Zero no Tsukaima— just didn’t expect one to show in Slayers Revolution. Meido banzai! Macross Frontier desperately needs meido.
“See, I’m not a monster… I’m just ahead of the curve.”
For Kyonko. Thanks for the Luluko and all the wannabes to come. Part of me hopes this will blow over like the OS-tans, but part of me wants Kyonko DVD specials on the Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya DVDs. Assuming, of course, more Haruhi ever comes. The next few years will be a rough, confusing, and muddled time for anime fans.
“You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”
For Twenty Faces. At this point, he’s obviously hiding some sick past from Chiko. Chiko now has a decision to make: does she continue pursuing Twenty Faces knowing that she might run into the ugly truth behind the handsome face or does she stop and have all-night sleepovers with Tome and Koito? I vote for the latter, but I think the former’s going to end up happening.
“A little fight in you. I like that.”
For Sheryl and Ranka. Best love triangle that I’ve seen in an anime in a while. There’s a distinct back and forth between the two that it makes it really hard to predict a winner in the Alto sweepstakes. Best part has to be that the two of them tolerate each other enough and are desperate enough for Alto’s luvin’ that a threesome ending can’t be ruled out yet. What ’bout my sutaaaaaaaaaar?
“I’m a man of simple tastes. I like gunpowder… and dynamite… and gasoline! Do you know what all of these things have in common? They’re cheap!”
For Keima. One of my favorite lines in the movie (since gas is no longer cheap) goes to the guy who could easily have said, “I’m a man of simple tastes. I like Miyako Miyamura… and Tomoyo Sakagami… and Tamaki Kousaka! Do you know what all of them have in common? They’re virtual!”
(See, if I kept a movie blog, I would definitely have written something like, “Well, Joker shouldn’t have burned all that cash. I mean, that was just barely enough money to fill up his Escalade.”)
“Well, hello, beautiful. You must be Harvey’s squeeze, hmm? And you are beautiful.”
To Tiffania. The greatest thing to happen to Zero no Tsukaima since Henrietta, Jessica, and Siesta. I always say that harem anime lives and dies by the quality of the haremettes, and Zero no Tsukaima‘s got some great ones. Too bad Louise boggarts most of the screentime and attention. Though I will say that every night I say a prayer to Oharuhi-sama hoping for a Louise-tan DVD special. Come on JC Staff, you know you wanna.
(Going from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal for Rachel Dawes is like going from Sheryl to Ranka. If only Sheryl was a Catholic turned Scientologist by her crazy husband.)
“Wanna know how I got these scars?”
For me. I assure you. I have plenty of scars from banging my head against my desk after reading comments like this one:
rh: After this, I just want to say that I feel like I’m broken for all the wrong reasons But, then again, aren’t we all (at least in this blog)? I’m in despair. Damn you, Jason. Damn your blog. Oh, Oharuhi-sama, I pray thee, help this loyal worshipper.
Yep… these are my readers.
“The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight you’re gonna break your one rule.”
For my readers. Enjoy breaking your one rule.

Actually, Code Geass’ script for the final few episodes was just finished AND submitted recently (according to the scriptwriter’s blog), so, yes, Sunrise DOES have a plan for their series. I’d think the problem is more in the execution than the actual material.
As for Kyon (ko), people have been joking that there’s a fandisc DVD in the works by KyoAni that will do EXACTLY as Haesslich fears, and turn episode 1 of Melancholy (not the Adventures of Asahina Mukiru) on its head, gender-wise. It’s pretty scary, when you think about it, since it means the studio would give more priority to something FANS made up waiting for THEM to release a new series than actually DOING said series.
Yeah gas definitely isn’t cheap..
Miyako Miyamura and Tomoyo Sakagami are simple tastes? sir these are exquisite virtual women.
Just mentioning those names makes me long for next season.
Ah, here it is. The link to the article in question: http://koshimizu.livejournal.com/3953.html#cutid1
And part of the translated interview:
Progress report by the story originator and main writer, IchirÅ ÅŒkouchi.
I’ve finished the script for Code Geass! Finished!
It’s not “to be continued”, nor “end of this season”. It’s over, finished, the end.
Starting from the planning of this anime, it’s been 5 full years. Although I’ve been having planty of jobs, this has been the longest one for me.
My computer fell silent when I was writing the last episode. I had to try to recover it while making the final check on the last episode. It’s quite a handfull.
But the work in studio isn’t done yet. And my job isn’t completely finished either.
Laughter or tears, the ending is only 4 months away. As for the production staff, who will see the ending in a few weeks, I wish for them to join me in the joy of seeing the end of Code Geass soon.
Breaking Rule #1: IT’S A TRAP!
What? Seitenkan? Why Jason, until the unholy union of both KyoAni and Kadokawa Shoten stop TEASING the TV series fans (not so much so with the book readers), your wish for a cease and desist to the genderswapping madness won’t likely end for some time. I do predict it’ll die down a bit with an adapted Disappearance, but, well… It’s not GUARANTEE that it’ll get rid of it in the fandom, since Genderswapping characters has been around since the early 80s in anime fandom.
So, really, all this stuff in Code Geass? Nothing to be even SURPRISED at.
Sorry, I meant ‘Guaranteed’.
Also, why isn’t it surprising that when I looked at the Mako-chan pic, I immediately checked the exposed pantsu, found no penile bulge, then nodded to myself and said, “Yep, definitely nothing there.”
And yes, I DID want to confirm that the proposed Seitenkan fandisc was just someone’s idea of a sick joke, because, uh, it’ll cause more rifts in the Church of Haruhiism than was EVER caused by Yuki. Also, it’ll wipe the silly grin that I imagine is plastered on Haesslich’s face whenever the Seitenkan Heresy is broached as a topic.
(Sorry, kind of bored at work at the moment, and I don’t have any DSL connection at home right now, sooo…)
On the topic of Zero no Tsukaima’s third season, oh boy, do I hear the gnashing of teeth of novel readers? The adaptation is definitely NOT going as planned or expected, and the love-com atmosphere is so intense in the anime right now, that if I didn’t read the first two books myself, I’d have sworn that it WASN’T based on a serious, if borderline smutty, fantasy story.
By the way, Jason, what are your thoughts on the second episode of Mai-Otomoe Sifr? It’s already out right now, and it’s surprisingly watcheable, though don’t really expect to flex your grey matter with it.
“For my readers. I’m giving you a sporting chance. Heed this warning.”
yet I still cant stop looking at the traps… I hate you…
EvilDevil: I dunno, it’s fairly obvious who the traps are, so you’re actually given a CHOICE to look away. But you don’t. ;) Confused? You should be.
$3-4 just to rent an episode? The media companies really want to ream us for all we’re worth. Just to correct you Jason, TV shows can be purchased on iTunes for $2. Besides the DRM stuff, you basically get to keep the episode. Movies can be rented for $3-4. Last I heard, Xam’d only runs 30min an episode while movies tend to be longer. Someone should tell Sony that they might be overcharging a bit…

““““
I love this series. shame it’s so short, only 3 volumes…
The comparison between G-L on iTunes and Xam’d on PSN isn’t even as telling as the recent Gonzo forays into online distribution. The former two are both locked to USA/Canada only and are as far as I know just rentals. Contrast against Gonzo’s stuff – Druaga, Blassreiter, Strike Witches – $2-3 per episode and the downloads are DRM free and thus permanent.
I’d pay Sony’s $4-5 per episode if the download was in full HD and I got to keep it forever. And if I actually could get access to it without the fuckers going out of their way to restrict it by region (yes, I own a PS3). It’s like they don’t actually want us to pay them.
Some thoughts:
* Birdy and Kogarashi merged. Can you just imagine the sudden drop in crime everywhere? Birdy with 38 senses and Kogarashi with alien technology: suck on *that*, Jack Napier.
* I, too, would like to see more villainous maids, especially if they wear stockings and garter belts. Along a similar professional vein, I would like to see some villainous plumbers, though without stockings and garter belts.
* I need to start watching “Tiffania no Tsukaima”… er… “Zero no Tiffania”… er… “Sekirei Alternative”… er… screw it. Rushuna elf FTW!
* Public service announcement: Amu Hinamori is 12.
* Discuss amongst yourselves the following topic: Jasonko.
> Birdy and Kogarashi merged. Can you just imagine the sudden drop in crime everywhere? Birdy with 38 senses and Kogarashi with alien technology: suck on *that*, Jack Napier.
that’s assuming KoGARashi gets accidentally killed, which as you probably already know is about as possible as Jason willingly admitting that somewhere in the recesses of his mind, he actually has entertained thoughts of being genderbent.
> I, too, would like to see more villainous maids, especially if they wear stockings and garter belts. Along a similar professional vein, I would like to see some villainous plumbers, though without stockings and garter belts.
You need to buy a DS, and wario ware. Then you can have all the villainous plumbers you like. Hold on there a sec, wouldn’t that mean you have the hots for…
>I need to start watching “Tiffania no Tsukaimaâ€â€¦ er… “Zero no Tiffaniaâ€â€¦ er… “Sekirei Alternativeâ€â€¦ er… screw it. Rushuna elf FTW!
I’d like to know how Tolkien would react if he knew the species of elves he popularized had reached this levels of fanservice.
> Public service announcement: Amu Hinamori is 12.
Also Mikan is 11. Restores your faith in reliable DFC haremettes, eh?
> * Discuss amongst yourselves the following topic: Jasonko.
Ah yes, Sixten had one heck of a time on that one. I must also confess to drawing Jason-ko fanart. So, if you’re an aspiring anime blogger and you want your readers to draw genderbent fanart of you, you know what to do now. (Involves copious amounts of traps)
Miao Diary, by H.C.Staff.
Thank you Sixten, now I can finally sleep easy, knowing that I finally got my revenge against trap-layer, male-broker, Jason! :D
Oops, I mean Jasmine. ;)
8 of the first ten posts by Myssa Rei, five in a row by Myssa Rei. And people say that I’m broken. This is what Kyonko does to people. Just say no to Kyonko.
As for meido, did you miss Bilrer’s in 15/16? The man knows how to live.
@tidal: Three words for you, friend: Maid Guy FUSION! I would not be the least bit surprised if Kogarashi could absorb an entire human being (or colony, for that matter). Why, Kogarashi could even… dare I say it?… beat Chuck Norris silly.
Yes, you’ve got me pegged. Rushuna Tendo + elf = I get no work done. Ever. However, Amu Hinamori/Mikan + elf = still beneath the strike zone.
@tidal and sixten: Yes, we are, undeniably, unquestionably Jason’s readers. I don’t know what’s worse; that someone has already created Jasonko/Jasmine or that my reaction was “Huh… who knew?”
I’m… becoming more and more broken. I stared at that last picture for a good minute before realizing ‘OH HOSAKA NO!’
Stop corrupting me already!
The Seitenkan Heresy:
Gaining new supports day by day.
God-Empress preserve us from the incursions of Tzeetnch’s followers! Still, there are meido in Frontier; it’s just that Mr. Bilrer hogged them all.
As for
TitaniaTiffania, anyone who can make Siesta jealous and apparently takes lessons from Kanokon (lesson #233: asking male harem-master to confirm genuine nature of bustline) definitely has a place in that show… even if it’s only as fanservice.Oops. Need to fix the Strikeout tag there, after Titania.
How dare you compare Sheryl to Katie Holmes, even in jest. Katie Holmes was terrible in Batman Begins. I think a more fair comparison would be Maggie G. in Dark Knight to Maggie G in Secretary with Sheryl being the latter.
Man feels like every blogger hates on Mnemosyne (to some degree). I loved it. Rin was competent, sad, funny, and moe. There was also loli-lesbianism. Some shit did not make sense, I’ll give you that. Still I liked the symbolism. The animators tried to make something good and push some boundaries, I think they deserve something for that.
It took me a good minute to realize that was a heart Suzaku was holding in the that pic….
*facepalms like Kyon after reading Miao Diary*
Sixten, are you sure you shouldn’t be locked up in a sanitarium somewhere?
So much wonderful DFC genderbended shota! D:
That last one’s… uhh… what’s his name? From Minami-ke?
And seriously, I want to know, should Luluko be DFC or Melonpan-goddess? ’cause I could totally imagine a melonpan Luluko doing her best Naga/Kodachi laughter as she moves her pawn from her pink-frilled Knightmare of doom.
“Sixten, are you sure you shouldn’t be locked up in a sanitarium somewhere?”
is too late, pandora’s box has been open… or should i say Jason-ko/Jasmine’s box has been open, all of the traps in the world had been set free…
Seitenkan for Haruhi I’ve grown to accept, since it’s basically an old anime phenomenon (genderswapping characters) superimposed on a new fandom (Haruhiism). Having a Sunrise-tsundere loli and ponytailed nekomimi-mode Hazuki wannabe called Jasmine running around in fiction is something else entirely. Kyon as a girl was amusing. Jason as a loli is TERRIFYING.
(Going from Katie Holmes to Maggie Gyllenhaal for Rachel Dawes is like going from Sheryl to Ranka. If only Sheryl was a Catholic turned Scientologist by her crazy husband.)
If only the animators had the balls to blow Ranka away…
Oh that sounded totally right.
Haesslich: I don’t have DSL right now at home, so I posted those (and am currently posting this one) at work. Plus, after 130 bank AND brokerage accounts reviewed, I was bored, so there. Nothing to do with Kyon at all (and I do refuse to add the feminine suffix ‘-ko’, since it doesn’t make sense on a nickname).
Jason got broke completely by Seitenkan. Mizuho started the ball rolling for Jason, Jun Watarase led a few incursions, and then the Minami sisters plus Mako-cakes and Hosaka completely derailed Jason. Then he derailed Sixten, and this led to the Miao Diaries as well as the associated Jason-ko with a Cat-O-Nine-Tails picture some weeks earlier.
Given that you advocated Seitenkan, I consider your response to it to be a “Just as planned” moment. ;)
It has everything to do with it. It broke Jason completely, leading to Luluko, Suzako, and now Jason-ko by way of Sixten’s permanently derailed mind. Little heretical thoughts begat greater heresies, leading to the corruption of Chaos. That’s why the Inquisition’s so hard on even the minor ones; fruit a little rotten can only grow more rotten, and minds that have been led astray will only go further around the bend. ;)
The last blockquote should’ve had Myssa Rei in it too. Oops.
Tiffania is not enough to make me watch ZnT 3rd season, JC Staff joined my black list long ago (well with ZnT 2nd season).
Also for god sake, elves predate Tolkien by thousand of years …
Drakron: Ah, but not as the aesthethically-pleasing proto-bishounens and proto-bishoujos we know them now, post-Tolkien. I’d think the most recent work of popular fiction I’ve read that comes CLOSE to portraying how Elves were seen as pre-Tolkien is from Pratchett’s the Witches series of books (and the Tiffany Aching series as well) — amoral horrors from beyond the realm of rational thought bent on causing Chaos.
Puck as portrayed in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman comics comes pretty close to that; that, and the recent revision of Changeling from White Wolf Games does the same thing. Elves/fairies/the Fae Folk have been, for the most part, been amoral and evil things; stealing babies, cursing people and destroying their lives… and you did what you could to appease them so they wouldn’t bother you. Elves as pretty things came around with Tolkien, and then got perpetuated by D&D and other fantasy genre authors and artists.
Titania there’s on a whole new level though…. since for the most part, they were portrayed in recent works as ethereal, and slender but beautiful. She’s very… earthy in comparison.
Sometimes I fear how broken my mind can become and try to put those thoughts to rest with 18th century C.C. Damn you Jasonk and Kyonko pictures.
Haesslich: Tifania is a HALF-Elf though, don’t forget, so her absolutely MASSIVE honkers are as much a result of her human ancestry as Author’s Fiat (I personally blame Author’s Fiat in this case though). Said author probably has NO IDEA just how hard is it on the back to have aforementioned giant honkers. So, yeah, fanservice (and literary fanservice too, as she originated from a NOVEL) excuse right there.
People tend to forget that, well, Elves/Fey are SUPPOSED to be scary. Not only did they cause all sorts of nasty things happening (from causing milk to spoil to replacing children with Changelings), they’re also the culprits of the Western equivalent of ‘Spiriting Away’, a cultural predecessor of Alien Abduction I might add…
Nexas: Ha ha, reminds me about an actual group in L5R’s background (or was it Warhammer 40k? I’m mixing my hobbies at this point), who are actually CALLED the Unbroken. Essentially they were warriors who were infected by the Taint, but haven’t completely succumbed to it, and actively fought against it, to the point where they’ve found a technique to cleanse themselves of it, but only if they’ve managed to destroy an entity (major Oni) that had the same amount of Taint they currently had. It’s a food for thought, though how you apply this with regards to Jason’s recent love of Seitenkan, well…
Myssa Rei: Thou art broken. And they must be magic ones, to present her with no back issues whatsoever.
Submitted for your approval:
An elven maiden in glasses and a maid outfit, standing next to her little brother, who is also wearing a maid outfit (under protest). And there’s a duck nearby, but it’s a trap; it’s really a pigeon.
Discuss.
The Broken attract more Broken, and yet more Broken. More readers means more comments, means more material for Jason.
New memes are born outside of 4chan or 2ch, and this is a good thing.
These are Jason’s Readers. The Broken are everywhere.
There are many different elves, the Norse mythology were like that since Tolkien directly based his elves from Norse myth.
Of course there are also supposed to be scary depending on what version of elves are you reading, then again that goes to a lot of mythological creatures since they got the “Christian treatment” .
Also Tolkien just made “fantasy” popular, did not created the gender, Robert E. Howard predates Tolkien … even if he never “did” elves.
Haesslich: Not magic, but they’re DEFINITELY against the laws of nature (even MAGIC). The way they defy gravity makes me wince sometimes. Familiar with Selena Recital (From Super Robot Wars Alpha 3) and her ‘twins’? Tifania is many times worse. Oh the Gainaxing!
I still assert tha I am unbroken, since I still feel aversion to seeing Lulu as a girl. And I’m not even a fangirl/fujoshi.
Drakron: You mean ‘genre’? :P
Yes Myssa Rei, I am just tired and so I am making even more errors that I usually do.
I don’t know how Titania does it, but she should’ve reminded Saito to lock the door before he gauged their heft to determine their ‘genuineness’. Oops. I still say they’re magic boobies, since there’s no way they could defy gravity and not hurt her, or bounce like that, without it.
You know, this reminds me of Jason’s statements way back when, regarding penises. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. And there’s no difference, fundamentally, between changing Kyon into a girl and keeping the personality and changing Lulu into a girl and keeping the personality. Except you’ve deemed one cute, and the other nauseating… which is purely a subjective bias.
Broken, thou art. You must take responsibility for your part in Jason-ko and the breaking of Jason. Or ELSE.
(/CHIRI KITSU MODE)
I saw someone mention Sandman, let’s derail this thread…I’m blanking out the spoilers.
Who ‘blanked’ Morpheus, who are Puck and Loki working for?
Thoughts? After 10 years I still haven’t heard a theory that I have found particularly convincing.
though your ideas often leave me broken inside out, i honestly think you should apply for a scriptwriting position in the anime industry. preferably Sunrise (they got good anime, they just end up sucking midway). your blog is enough credentials.
why not try starting a Meido religion? i’m really tired of hearing the same thing from our parish priest. at least if its a Meido religion, you get to hear something new every season.
btw, Heath Ledger delivering those lines really made the movie a success. I guess the movie would have been better if someone like Milly replaced Rachel Dawes instead of that degraded version of Katie. hmm.. a Lakshata would fit better in Morgan Freeman’s role… or perhaps a Meido daughter of Alfred would just be perfect?
How did we start talking about Gaiman?
Oh right, noticed i said “popularized”, not “created”. I choose my words wisely. Now if you’d excuse me, i’m off to reread Miao Diary for the 15th time.

Ah… the Joker. My favorite villain. The chaos he caused was so… beautiful. I wish there were more villains like him…
@tidal: Not bad. More?
I agree with everything said here. I nominate Sayoko for Alfred’s daughter though. Meido ninja = awesome.
I broke my only rule a long time ago. Heck, even if I really had a rule back then, I guess it was stupid.
SUNRISE doesn’t have a plan, did they have a plan with Mai Hime, Mai Otome, Idol Master, ZegaPain; I don’t think so. Code Geass is everything about train wreck and plot holes; I swear that their script has more holes than a gruyere cheese. Maybe Code Geass R2 will have a satisfactory conclusion, hopefully. Damn it, I hate my wishful-thinking-self.
By the way, I bet this weekend more people will prefer to see The Dark Knight again and not The Mummy, what a waste of my precious time and money yesterday.
Does *Mikan Yuuki* of To Love Ru obtained her popularity from Kyonko since they are look alike and made it on 2nd round SaiMoe main tournament even grabbing 2nd place in Group 15 of 1st Preliminary.
I wonder how Kyonko would fare up in Saimoe 2009. If she makes a cameo appearance on Haruhi S2.
Dark Knight is the best movie of this year.
What happened to Ranka’s beautfiul face in the triangle pic noooo..
Oh Mako Cakes destroys my mood.
