My gosh, what a big agenda you have, Mr. President.

Well, she’s not going to be VP, but at least she still has her old job with ALAWS…

Graham Acre doesn’t take orders from anyone. He’s a true maverick.

I was watching CNN’s coverage of the election yesterday, and the networks were all just super anxious to announce Obama as the winner right after he won Ohio, only they couldn’t because the polls were still open in California. So right after California’s poll close, they all just blew their wad. I think that’s how Sunrise feels whenever they’re about to bring a character back from the dead.

(Honestly, I’d love to see Sunrise cooperation on the next Hell Girl season. Maybe after Enma Ai ferries someone to hell, the next episode would be Nunnally ferrying them back to life.)

image

I still don’t see the point of having Saji and Louise in the plot. If this were Hell Girl and Enma gives Saji the voodoo doll, I might see it. But it ain’t. I mean… to recap… his sister died, his girlfriend rejected him after she lost her hand… and now he’s mistaken as a terrorist. I’m surprised he hasn’t snapped yet like John Rambo in First Blood.

(Though I’m hoping either that happens or Saji joins Richard Machowicz on Futureweapons where Saji just weeps, “WHY OH WHY?!” as the ex-Seal shows off the newest killing machines.)

Anemone is quickly becoming my favorite Gundam 00 S2 character. Thought that’s not saying a lot… it’s like saying Andrew Bogut is my favorite left-handed NBA player from Australia.

Marina taking over Kataron’s babysitting duties for an hour does not move her into the “useful” column. Sorry. That’s just the way it is.

image

I think I’d rather have Nunnally rule my nation than Marina. Though if I need a babysitter, I’d definitely go with Marina.

image

The gayest organization Sunrise ever thought of.

(For people lucky enough to be in California the past week, aren’t you glad we’re finally rid of those fucking proposition ads? They redefine “lowest common denominator.” Though I have to admit I liked the prop 8 ad where they spoofed the “I’m a PC!” ad. “I totally want to amend her.” Classic…)

He crosses his legs like Lulu…

Random little girl becomes favorite to win Saimoe 19! News at 11!

A white Barack? Oh those silly Japanese…

(I liked tonight’s South Park… I’m amazed that they worked in the stuff from Obama’s and McCain’s speech into the episode on less than 24 hours… and the whole Ocean’s 11 parody was gold. Makes me wonder why Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei can’t be the Japanese equivalent of South Park if they worked it a bit… but still… screw you guys, I’m going home.)

  1. Well, the holograms and that crazy touchscreen on CNN were awesome…

    Not that I’ve been watching any anime lately…

  2. Man – I think Saji has become broken enough to attain “Meister” status. All his closest blood relatives are dead, his “girlfriend” is with the Soviets and he just helped them blow up Quatre’s base.

    Again with the names Sunrise. First Mr. Bushido, now Revive Revival?! The hell kinda name is that???

  3. Ah it’s not so bad that they brought Ali back. Actually, when I think about it, it’s a pretty good thing. Mr Bushido *facepalm* sucks. Soma probably won’t be an antagonist for much longer, and there’s nobody else to fill the Gauron slot. Besides, Ali’s fucking crazy, and that’s what we want from our bad guys.

    Also, I demand Sunrise put Sumeragi back into the too-small outfit.

  4. >>Again with the names Sunrise. First Mr. Bushido, now Revive Revival?! The hell kinda name is that???

    The same kind of name as Hallelujah Haptism. Oh c’mon, anime’s full of crazy names. Didn’t Black Cat taught us that already?

  5. Obama wins! what a surprise i mean the other choice would be a old guy that would fail like Bush and a VP that is the female version of bush.

  6. They already have one, Gintama…

  7. I was watching CNN’s coverage of the election yesterday, and the networks were all just super anxious to announce Obama as the winner right after he won Ohio, only they couldn’t because the polls were still open in California. So right after California’s poll close, they all just blew their wad. I think that’s how Sunrise feels whenever they’re about to bring a character back from the dead.

    I was joking with a friend, speculating about how the networks could possibly screw up the coverage after the last few elections of calling states with 2 percent of the vote counted, or before all the poll locations in the state have closed (Florida). I didn’t think they could raise the bar; they raised it. Calling battleground states (Pennsylvania, not California) with 0 percent of the vote counted? Real professional, guys.

  8. That hologram stuff was about as asinine as it got. You could forgive channels for wanting to proclaim their candidate as the winner (I’m pretty certain BET was the first network to proclaim Obama winner 10-15 minutes ahead of all the “real” news networks), and the touch screen stuff looked neat and useful, but the holograms at CNN were like Saji and Louise in 00: Why?

  9. I thought the holograms and touch screens were rather cool, we’re getting closer to the future or space elevators!

  10. >>>>The same kind of name as Hallelujah Haptism. Oh c’mon, anime’s full of crazy names. Didn’t Black Cat taught us that already?

    True enough, but I’ve never watched Black Cat.

  11. Well the election is mostly over, but I still hear proposition stuff in CA. I’m sick of it already! >__>

    Oddly, no one expected Louise to be more useful than Saji, ever.
