Comic Site Rant: Someday Our Prince Will Come
Little late with this one, but I was kind of in a funk for the last couple of weeks. That coupled with a whole shit ton of anime and homework hitting me like a ton of bricks hindered comic production. But here we are, at Tuesday, with a new comic. I hate liking what I do, but I’m kind of happy with this one. Yes, the art is wonky as usual (make your threads now, 4chan!!) but I generally like how it turned out. The script is something I came up with right around when I started Japanese class last semester, but only got around to making it now. With school about to end for the year, the timing is a bit off, but whatever. For the record, I am myself am shameless with wearing anime shirts to class. I just really don’t care.
God, spring season. Anyone who’s been reading the blog will know that I’ve been documenting my first impressions three at time across various posts. I’m actually working on part IV of that, I just need time to sit down and write it. Overall though, I’m quite satisfied. Some stinkers and wholly mediocre entries, but enough quality to go around. My two favourites off the top of my head have to be Kure-nai and Macross F. Code Geass and Kanokon get mentions for best trash of the season, in two very different ways.
Kure-nai is a bit lighter than I expected it to be, but that dark undercurrent is still there. It could go on being a lighthearted Odd Couple affair, but I want it to act on its darker side a bit more. Macross F is just fucking impressive anime SF. I haven’t seen anything this good in a while. It has 3D work that’s actually good! Code Geass is something I rag on, but watching this second season has made me change my tune. I guess it’s just the fans that are pretentious, because season 2 reminded me that Geass knows it’s silly shit and loves it. Episode 2 was one of the most hilarious episodes of anime I’ve ever seen. Sunrise isn’t really taking this shit seriously at all, and neither should you. I may write a blog post on how Geass is such a great entertainer, but I need to find time. Kanokon is just well animated softcore porn, and I respect that. I like fanservice shows, but they have to be well done. Kanokon has sexy production values, so I’m sticking around for that.
Anyways, I’m playing catchup in the game of life at the moment. I need to catch up on homework, catch up on anime and catch up on making comics. As such, I’ll be taking my leave.
As if the teacher really give a fuck why you learn Japanese.
True man ha? And I thought a true man doesn’t ashamed of his liking.
Kanokon isn’t well done trash. It’s festering garbage dressed up for disgusting otaku.
Couldn’t he just turn the shirt inside out? :P
Hmmm… question… are you wearing pants in that last panel ?

That’s too ghetto.

Contrary to popular belief, this is not a self insert comic in the least. As such, that character is Rets and not me. Anyway, the question you need to be asking yourself is, was he even wearing pants at all in the panels before that? It’s not like you can see past his shirt… ;)
Just turning the shirt inside out isn’t something a True Man would do. Rets clearly burnt the shirt away by flexing it off, eyes aglow, before punching the teacher 100 times in the face yelling “ATATATATATATATATATA! HOA-CHA!” He’ll have the same shirt back next comic though, I assure you.
The teacher is already dead.
You would wear that shirt into class. Rets would go to class in no shirt at all. I don’t know if he has less shame, or you do.
Well, I actually never wear that shirt to any class at all… I do however wear it in public with no qualms!?
I just like how you’ve had that adorable pic of Murasaki in Kurenai in your comic posts lately. She is filled with win and hugs.
REAL MEN SPEAK ONLY ONE LANGUAGE:
INTIMIDATION.

Alright, after some investigating, I drew several conclusions. Time to kill some catgirls.
1. Tina didn’t seem too interested in what was below his shirt. So if he isn’t wearing pants, this means Tina is so used to seeing him without pants on she doesnt care anymore.
2. Rets was not aroused in this scene, or he has a very small penis, or possibly both. Or maybe he’s secretly a girl!. Because if he was aroused then if his penis was normal sized, it would be visible in this scene. So that means he probably has the same sort of penis as shinji Ikari which is so small you can’t see it.
3. Now if Rets wasn’t aroused, here this can shed some light on things. Now Rets being a hard core otaku we can assume has not had much sexual experience if any at all. Now in this scene Rets is in front of an attractive girl, Tina and if we assume he has no pants and also has a regular sized penis this means that an attractive girl seeing him with no pants on isn’t something he gets excited about. Now what does this mean? Obviously Rets is not gay based on his behaviour in previous comics. But if he has no pants on and is not aroused and is not gay, this means something else is going on. The most obvious answer is that he’s become so engrained in his 2D complex , real girls, even real fantasy girls like Tina just don’t get to him anymore. Or the second possibility is , as I suggested before this is something that he’s used to doing and therefore is not aroused. The third possibility is that he’s just so concerned about what shirt he’s wearing he just doesn’t notice that he has no pants on. This is my favorite explanation.
4. Of course this brings up the question of why Rets isn’t wearing any pants. Above one explanation is he just forgot to put them on. The second explanation is that he’s trying to make a public statement about how Otakuism is being forced underground. But given that he has some shame about wearing anime shirts to class, this might be something that he’s doing subconciously without even realizing it.
5. This also bring up the possibility that I suspected ever since Tina started getting really Sexy. She’s actually an imaginary being in Rets mind, a secondery personality to fullfill his needs. If so it would make perfect sense that she would not notice that he has pants on. Of course if Tina were a split personality that would mean that somewhere deep in Rets mind he likes yaoi…
Alright, I think that’s good enough to kill just about every catgirl in a 500 meter radious, my work here is done!
Eh. I’m sure Japanese teachers have seen more then their fair share of anime t-shirt wearing otaku. Still, a GAR move on Rets’ part. In fact, now that I really tlhink about it, that’s what he is when you boil down to it, a GAR otaku. hahaha.
I was seriously going to wait mid season before starting the new season… but I’m going to give in to Kanokan at least. Softcore porn animu is a good thing.
Another thing, Defectron that’s an amazing bit of detective work. It’s obvious Rets has a hardcore 2d girl complex, a split personality, and a strange propensity to go pantsless in public… Wow… even Freud would head-to-desk.
My first day of Japanese call was a scary one indeed. None of the kids in the class were Otaku. NONE! Jocks and preps everywhere. And there I was…wearing a Trigun hoody. High School sucked.
Lol! I laughed while cry XD
I don’t know why his thoughts reminded me of quite the neurotic Sato of ”Welcome to the NHK”
