Now imagine this hidden and autostart=true’d.

Good times. (File lifted from the first page I’ve found googling for evangelion midi)

wmp9 powah

Suckas.

Here, have a YouTube embed of one of my favorite Katamari Damacy songs. Blue Orb by Kahimi Karie.

Also because I can’t stop the rock, here’s an update on my anime status:

• Hanamaru Kindergarten: Finished, loved, want a second season.
• Omamori Himari: Finished, was okay with it since it wasn’t a very ambitious series to start with.
• Sora no Woto: Finished, really average, lame end for a great melancholic series.
• Summer Wars: Good movie: shallow plot, good directing, fun characters.
• Ladies vs Butlers: Still haven’t watched the last episode. Update: Finished it now, expected end plot wise, kinda harsh on the practical sense.

Add to stalled: Futakoi and Seto no Hanayome. Dropped: Chu-Bra, DRR!! (didn’t have time for it)

Konna!

So like y’all knows about this light novel correctly? Made famous by being picked up by proto-ayako, Himatsubushi. Imagine Nogizaka Haruka’s Secret, now reverse pretty much all the roles while keeping the very basic premise the same. And add the sister aspect naturally.

Anyway yes it is a great novel (says me who only read 2 chapters haw), mostly because it is not the generic sister complex trope. (no matter how much I love said trope.)

OK now for the news: turns out there’s a manga and I didn’t know about it!

How.

So how come she’s looks so loli on the cover, but she’s kinda hot inside the manga? That picture above? Totes dfc bro. She’s 14 years old, it’s anime/manga anatomy but yeeeah she’s cute. Maybe it’s one of those things they loop back.

But yes! Such is the NATURE of ADAPTATIONS.

Indeed, she is far from being the perfect traditional waifu, Even the yamato nadeshiko, the “traditional” ideal Japanese woman, has been set up today as a reply to modern, western femininity.

I’m saying that effectively, anime uses the criminal underground as its special space to reconstruct the lost ultra-traditional female.

See I've only watched 3 episodes of Seto no Hanayome, but I know Sun is the quintessential traditional waifu from Yakuza family girl.

You catch my drift? My point is that fuck yeah anime, no scratch that, OTAKU CULTURE rules and stuff.

Himari is ANGRY (about things)

Angry post time yeeeeah. So yeah you know the Omamori Himari ED, the one I ripped the audio for the TV lenght version myself such was its awesomeness? The シーディーSingle came out today (or last night?), and yeah, it’s all fun and games. UNTIL 1:49 WHERE THERE’S A PAUSE IN THE SONG. Both for the normal version and the karaoke version. Both on LonE and Nipponsei’s rip.

I will cut someone if they fucked up the master, I really will.

They totally won’t be getting my money that I wouldn’t be giving them anyway due >lol stuff only being released on Japan.

Right there at 1:49, the offending pause.

Thankfully there’s a version with no pause floating around ([EAC] [100224] おまもりひまり​_BEAM my BEAM／ひまりんこ・L・しずくえす (ape+cue 鮭無 rev 米).​rar), no idea if that was fixed by someone, or different CD batch. But yeah, gg anime music releasing japs, GG.

Update; Well what, apparently that pause was intended? According to http://matomech.com/article.aspx?aid=265872&bid=154, gay. The comments there sum it up pretty well:

Www momentum
Discomfort was felt.

Well said, google translate, well said.

Update 2; Oh god the b-side, “love and peace” rules so hard too!

After Omamori Himari’s BEAM my BEAM, of course. The bass line is so awesome, voice started weird, but the kindergarten singing grew on me. And in contrast to Omamori Himari, GAINAX (GAINAX’d) actually knows how to animate things. The Hanamaru Kindergarten EDs are my favorite part of the show.

oh btw the official lyrics for this came out so this might be incorrect, someone go check

Update! Ok so me and and my bro @bitmapblog (hate twitter notation) got together to try to transcribe the lyrics, it was an arduous task (he got more stuff than I did ofc), but here’s what we got:
