Comic Site Rant: I’m a dreamer/hisumo power
June 16th, 2007 at 09:14:20 by wildarmsheeroThis comic isn’t very funny. It’s just me saying Gundam 00 will suck. Again. But the art is pretty so that makes up for it. Also, I think I’m making some kind of hamfisted point by having Ideon and original Gundam posters in the background but I’m not sure what exactly that point is yet. I don’t have a solid idea for next week yet which is troubling. Maybe I’ll talk about the Bokura No director, or mock Xenoglossia, or talk about Gurren Lagann. I dunno. Oh yeah, got a bit of fanart. It can be found here.
I have a job now. It’s not a very glamorous job, but it’s work. Work to get these. Aww yeahhh. Maybe next year I’ll actually plan ahead a not apply for something right in the summer :V :V :V
Bokura No director apparently loathes the original work with every thread of his being. I wrote about it, er, tried to write about it, but then went off about Akiyuki Shinbo instead. Basically it’s just troubling. While directing is a job for these people, in my mind I’d like to think they’d at least approach their work with some enthusiasm. I mean they are producing “art”, so it’s good to be somewhat enthused about what you’re doing. Ah well. I hope this doesn’t affect things too much.
It’s gotten to the point where I’m less watching Yamato for entertainment value and more for educational value. I think a lot of it is fairly amateur, to be honest. Suffers from monster of the week, which doesn’t bother me in general so long as what’s happening is interesting. In Yamato it’s very hit or miss. But it’s good to see what newer anime took from this work, and I plan to continue on with it, the second season (with hopes it’ll be better) and the movies, just to see what’s so great about Be Forever Yamato.
Summer season is actually looking pretty rad. Despite what I’ve said in my podcast which I’ve still not yet edited (ugh too many things to do) things are looking pretty ok. Outside of the obvious sequals, some titles that stick in my mind are Tetsuko no Tabi, Doujin Work and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, directed by Akiyuki Shinbo. I declare these all best of next season.
Anyway, a lot of things to do this Saturday, and I got work from 3-9. Ugh. I swear if those other interviews work out I’m dropping this like a bad habit.

You NEED to do strip about Bokurano director. Because it’s just too retarded situation, it just screams for mocking strips.. :)

Meh, while it may not be funny, I do like the way he says ‘I have to watch it cuz it’s Gundam;. I know that feeling… *watches Pokemon*

Oh by the way, have you seen the character summeries yet? The names are stupid as hell.
June 16th, 2007 at 20:53:31
XD I dunno I think that comic’s pretty on target :P

I’m guessing the next title would be ‘Tobira wo Akete’.

Mister X: Yeah, but no ideas are coming to me, and I’m not that passionate about the series in general.
DB: Gundam and Pokemon are a bit different…
BtJ: They’re hilarious. The names.
Hinano: Thx
LianYL: Maybe. I’m just picking random CCS songs because it’s all I’ve been listening to.
June 17th, 2007 at 17:18:33
The next title should be Catch You Catch Me, since Tobira wo Akete was the only CCS song I didn’t like. It’s bleh.

Even the 00 mobile suits look like Feiyen from Virtual-On.
00 = balls that lack the penis

Hey. You should really bring back the forums. I miss you.
June 18th, 2007 at 10:15:45
Forums are depressing when no one posts on them.

You should mock Xenoglossia. I mean, I love the show way more than it probably deserves, but it does leave itself wiiiiiiidddddddddddeeeeeeeee open for derision.
No comment on this comic, though, as, err, kind of like the AU Gundam series. Yes, even Destiny…

I like the premise for this show, but I do agree the characters look a bit ‘homo’. But hey, I like them better than SEED’s designs. Also, for once, i’m liking the mecha designs for this one. They actually look like something new. The staff also gives me hope. I’ll pass judgement after I watch the show.
