Monday, August 23rd, 2010Go!Go!7188 covers
Monday, July 12th, 2010Its appearant that this is one of my favorite bands. It borders on cute, with Yuu and Akko’s vocals and awesome with their guitars.
This band is known for being retro, retro Japanese that is. A lot of the songs are covers to songs I’ve never heard before, so everything’s new to me.
Attack No.1
The original “Attack No.1″ seems to be about a bunch of teenage girls who play volleyball. There also seems to be a live-action remake of the series and other remakes of the song.
Cutie Honey
“Cutie Honey” is pretty well known in the US among Anime fans. Basically, its about a sexy superheroine. This has also been remade, several times in fact. There was a live action remake and other remakes of the song.
Hyokkori Hyoutan Jima
…or “Unexpected Gourd Island” was a 1960’s puppet show. So imagine a band doing a punk rock version of the theme to Sesame Street– awesome. There’s also been animated and puppet remakes over the years and Morning Musume popularized the song for another generation.
Pepper Keibu
A cover from Pink Lady. They were popular in the late 70’s and even made some notoriety in the states. I think Morning Musume did a cover. Its as if they’re doing the same covers but much less threatening.
K-On!
Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010Lately I’ve been addicted to K-On! An anime about 4 (and later 5) japanese high school girls who are members of the school’s Light Music Club, an after school activity. It’s pretty funny with characters who play well off each other.
I’m posting the end credit song because I like it better:
I’ve developed a mild unhealthy cartoom crush on the bass player.
And here’s the first episode:
After watching that, you can look at stills of the school that K-On was based on. Uncanny.
Unfortunately, they could not film the porno paraody version of K-On at the real school (that would actually be awesome in a horribly awesome way)
…and they couldn’t get the hot teacher right either.
but this ain’t bad:
but just like the Anime, they can’t get the lip sync right.
and if you want to see a more NSFW version, and you are over 18, of the live action porno parody, click here!
…and hawtness dressed up all K-On like

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010Ghost in the Sea Lab
Tuesday, May 4th, 2010A great little mash-up between Sea Lab and Ghost in the Shell.
Bôa – Duvet
Wednesday, April 28th, 2010I was watching Serial Experiment Lain and I thought the theme was sung by the Korean Pop Star BoA. Its actually done by an English band called Bôa.
Ultraman Babies
Tuesday, April 20th, 2010Actually, its called “Ultraman Kid” or something like that.
Rest in Peace Carl Macek
Monday, April 19th, 2010The old Robotech series introduced an entire western generation to Anime. Rest in Peace Carl Macek.
Time of Eve
Saturday, April 17th, 2010
Time of Eve is one of those jewels that you find every now and then. The character development is touching. The animation is well done. The premise is deceptively simple.
It has an heir of Philip K Dick cyberpunk gnosis. Funny at times, serious at others, its everything that an Anime should be.
Plus, it was available for free… although it took several months for each 15 minute episode to come out. But not only is the entire series complete, there will be a movie that has all 6 episodes plus new footage… that will come out in selected theaters in Tokyo and Osaka…
Anyway, visit crunchyroll.com to check it out.
Haruhi and gum
Saturday, April 17th, 2010I love The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumaya. And I will admittedly say that I have a crush on Haruhi. Unfortunately, the live-action representation of Haruhi is some weird fugly woman. I stated my distaste of this on facebook and my brother was able to renew my unhealthy cartoon crush with this cosplay photo:
