Omake: Saving Sally Teaser Trailer
by otaking on Aug.23, 2010, under Omake
Some of you may have seen the old Saving Sally trailer from a few years back, from before the film was picked up by a French production outfit. Here’s the new one! For those of you who didn’t know, the screenplay of Saving Sally was written by my sister Charlene and directed by her friend Avid. It was re-shot after post-production had already started, with Rhian Ramos as the new Sally. Let’s hope it gets released soon so we can all see it!

Omake: Setsubun
by otaking on Feb.03, 2010, under Omake
I first heard about Setsubun no hi from an episode of Urusei Yatsura, where Ataru drives Lum and Ten-chan out of his house by throwing beans at them. It’s a Japanese festival celebrated on February 3 every year, where people throw beans to drive out the evil spirits of the old year and the disease spirits of the new year. Of course, I’m not sure I would throw beans at Lum. I don’t really want to drive her away, and even if I did she would just zap me. Plus I’d have to smuggle beans into the house just like Ataru and Shinobu.

I recently discovered Superuseless Superpowers, a blog devoted to, you guessed it, really useless superpowers, ranging from Polarrhoids (the ability to crap out what you are looking at when you blink, which is a lot), to ∞-ray vision (the uncontrollable ability to see through everything, meaning you see nothing as a result).
Omake: Hungarian Phrasebook

Here’s another of Monty Python’s famous sketches, the Hungarian Phrasebook sketch, featuring the always brilliant John Cleese as the clueless Hungarian, Terry Jones as the patient (male) tobacconist, and once again Graham Chapman as a clueless authority figure, this time a policeman with sharp hearing, but without a patrol car.
Omake: The True Meaning of Tsundere

This is Minoru’s famous tsundere rant from Lucky Channel Episode 10! Here he passionately decries what he perceives as the corruption of the definition of the term ‘tsundere‘ from its original meaning implying a function of time into a character type who is hostile on the outside but affectionate on the inside.
