Top Ten Things I Want as Plushies

Posted by 0rion on December 14th, 2007 - 10:30 pm

In celebration of the true Christmas spirit (i.e. mindless consumerism), I was pondering what manner of gifts I could ask Santa for. Unfortunately, I don’t really collect figures or other miscellaneous anime merchandise. I do, however, have something of a soft spot for cute plushies.

Yeah plushies, you heard me. Shut up; stop snickering. I love my Mokonas. And I’m still more manly than the combined cast of Gundam 00. :P

Sadly, most of the things I want as plushies either don’t exist, or aren’t available yet. D:

Thus, in the hopes that Santa Claus will take pity and have his elves craft a couple just for me, I present to you my Christmas Top 10 Plushie Wish List: Read the rest of this entry »

The 11th Day of Christmas - Code Geass

Posted by 0rion on December 11th, 2007 - 11:11 am

On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

11 Knightmares skating

10 microbes brewing
9 Lucky ladies
8 Misa-Misa’s
7 bure bures
6 zawa zawas
5 GIGA DRILLS!
4 metatags
3 rain charms
2 Guchuko’s
And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

Code Geass makes me giddy.

Not Gurren Lagann “pierce the heavens with your drill!” giddy… more like, “Oh no that mecha so did not just figure skate over the hill and then do a triple salchow to dodge incoming fire!” giddy. Read the rest of this entry »



The 10th Day of Christmas - Moyashimon

On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

I wish the upcoming Oryzae-tan plushies would be released in time to make stocking stuffers out of them. Then I could cosplay as Sawaki by bleaching my hair and duct taping them to be hanging all over me. :P Read the rest of this entry »



Moyashimon = Sake, Sake, Sake!

Posted by Guff on December 10th, 2007 - 1:30 am

You know, I’m growing to enjoy this show more and more as the emphasis towards alcohol continues. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not, but it’s certainly managed to increase my interest in this very unique series.

Episode 5’s Microbe Theatre was just exceptionally awesome, really. Deep down I’ve always been convinced that alcoholic beverages were produced by flurries of gleeful dancing bacteria that leapt about joyously as they guided the holy fermentation process. This was all the affirmation I needed, really. Read the rest of this entry »



The 9th Day of Christmas - Lucky Star

On the 9th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

9 Lucky ☆ ladies

8 Misa-Misa’s
7 bure bures
6 zawa zawas
5 GIGA DRILLS!
4 metatags
3 rain charms
2 Guchuko’s
And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

Because I can’t make up my mind which Raki ☆ Suta girl is my favorite. So I’ll just take them all! Omochikaeri! Read the rest of this entry »



Kaiji 09 - ANDOOOOUUU!!

Posted by 0rion on December 8th, 2007 - 10:30 pm


Kickin’ butt and takin’ stars.

Kaiji lays down some serious smack in this episode! It’s about damn time, too!

His so called “companions” have been nothing but dead weight from the very beginning. Despite Kaiji’s Buddha-like patience and motivational speeches that would make Donald Trump proud, they’ve time and time again proven themselves to be nothing but cowardly, backstabbing morons.

I just cannot overstate my satisfaction at seeing them get exactly what they deserve. Andou especially; what a tool.

On a somewhat unrelated note, it seems that the real life Andou has been discovered, and he apparently is a fan of Lucky Star! Who knew… O_O Read the rest of this entry »



The 8th Day of Christmas - Death Note

Posted by 0rion on December 8th, 2007 - 1:00 pm

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me…

8 Misa-Misas

7 bure bures
6 zawa zawas
5 GIGA DRILLS!
4 metatags
3 rain charms
2 Guchuko’s
And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

Without a doubt, Light-o’s greatest failing was not his megalomania, nor his arrogance, nor his hasty early mistakes, nor the way he callously used his own father’s life, nor even his pitiful end.

No, his failing was being so caught up in his “NO I AM JUSTICE” killing crusade that he passed up a free Misa-Misa buffet. And just look where that kind of attitude landed him.

Don’t worry, I won’t make the same mistake. Misa-Misa is definitely on my Christmas wish list. 8)



The 7th Day of Christmas - Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei

2 Guchuko’s
And a cruise on a nice boat for free!

Come on, let’s twist again!

Because whatever the guys who make Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei are high on, I want some of that for Christmas. Also I want season 2 of the twisted tales of Pink Supervisor and his motley harem of crazy broken girls. Read the rest of this entry »
