The amazing thing about this video is how well the two anime fit together! Although the idea of Gendo joining the SOS Brigade is scary.

Can’t wait for the next episode (if there is one) where Yuki and Rei meet each other!

It’s amazing how on the money Monty Python were about politicians in general, considering they were writing in the early Seventies about politicians in the United Kingdom.

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.

Note in particular how Shinobu is trying to quietly banish Ataru’s inner demons of lust.

Oni wa soto! Fuku wa uchi!

Laser Pointer Vision. I wasn't looking man, honest!

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).

Check it out!

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.

My nipples explode with delight!

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.

Don’t laugh. It may sound like nitpicking to you, but this sort of thing is important to many people. Especially obsessive-compulsives, like otaku.

This scene is from Monty Python’s Life of Brian, the story of Brian Cohen, a man who happened to be born in the manger next to Jesus Christ, and how he went from mama’s boy to freedom fighter to reluctant messiah.

This clip contains Brian’s greatest teaching. Unfortunately, just like many other great teachings, its true meaning is completely lost on the crowd — except for one strangely self-aware member of the multitude, who gets shushed when he voices his dissent.

Save us, oh omnipotent capricious high schooler! And deliver us from Endless Eight. Amen.

Has enough time passed since Michael Jackson died to be able to talk about him without being trendy and fashionable? Good.

This is my favorite MJ song.

Listen to Japanese teen beatboxer Daichi as he gives us his rendition of Tatsuro Yamashita’s Christmas Eve, followed by John Lennon’s Happy Xmas (War is Over), and Jingle Bells!
