About the frequent updates...

So you'll propably notice that at the moment I'm writing several entries a day. This is not sometihng I plan on doing forever, but I just feel like I need to fill this place up with something, so people will have something to read.

Like anyone reads this blog anyway! Mwahaha. There he goes, thinking people give a shit about him! And the few people that might have poked their heads in here propably left again. Anyway, putting things up here helps me clear my head, so it's really for my own sake. I just have an easier time doing it if it serves some sort of purpose, like other people being entertained by it. Otherwise it feels like keeping a diary, which is a thought I find vaguely horrible. Anyway, check back for more updates tomorrow, as I have most of the day off

The Biggest Fucking Tits in Anime History

Ladies (?) and gentlemen(??! o_O)... I give you the biggest god damn tits ever shown in anime. Ever. Kinda spoiler pic for the End of Evangelion movie, but... WHO CARES, THERE'S TITS!!!!

TOTALLY X-RATED PIC OMFG <--YES that is the Earth she's standing on, and YES, that is an object the same size as the moon she's holding.

Yeah...
That's all... Why do you waste your time here anyway?

THE LEGEND: Neon Genesis Evangelion

It had to come at some point. If you don't know what I'm talking about then get the hell out of here and go watch it! But not because spoilers are incoming (cause they are); Even if you know the plot, the strength of this anime is not that you don't know what'll happen, but that it gives you enough food for thought to last you the rest of your life.

It is, for various reasons, impossible to name a single 'best' anime, since nothing can advance beyond the point of 'perfect', but still there can be a perfect guide on how to assemble clocks, and there can be a story perfectly depicting the doubts and hopes of human beings. Yet the two are vastly different in terms of how enjoyable they are, and most people (sorry to all you watch maniacs out there) would name the latter as being the best of the two.
For this reason, even though there are several brilliant, even legendary, animes out there, the subject that has always drawn my interest the most is exactly that which NGE deals with. So if someone FORCED me to pick one single anime to name as the best, NGE would be my choice.

So, where to begin? Truly, there are too many things to be said about this anime. First would propably be the fact that you can keep watching it again and again and find new meanings every time. I think the mark of the true masterpiece is that it works as a catalyst to spawn a myriad of thoughts in the watcher's head. This anime is particularly apt at that, which is exactly why it has been rated one of the best animes of all time.
The characters of the show embody severe exaggerations of the problems I think we all face, socially and existentially. What is reality? What are dreams? What do I want? These are some of the questions raised in the show as the characters are faced with the choice of shedding individual existence and living in a dream-like state where the minds and bodies of people are joined into one unity.

This is in the show referred to as the Instrumentality Project and it plays with the idea that as long as humans are seperate entities, they cannot get close enough to fill the void in each other's hearts. This poses an interesting question for the viewer: Would YOU reject the Instrumentiality Project? Is it wrong to give up your individuality if you thereby join with everyone you would ever want to get close to? Is that true happiness? What is reality and what are dreams and who is to say which one is better?

Now I could respond to all those questions with the answers that I myself have found, but what fun would that be? I like to think of NGE as tearing down the boundaries between reality and fantasy, placing you, the viewer, in a position where you must decide how to rebuild them (if you want to rebuild them at all!).
It asks you to doubt the very foundation of your existence, upon which you try to build your happiness and it enables you to find an answer that is strictly your own.

Here's to the best anime of all time.

The Lethal Joke (Read at Your Own Peril)

Let me tell you about something interesting that happened today, while I was browsing youtube. There's this very annoying creationist who goes under the name of NephilimFree who is, like pretty much all youtube creationists, a huge proponent of censorship. This not really unexpected, as I have yet to encounter a creationist channel where none of the following measures are in place:
Disabled ratings
Disabled comments
Blocking users
Censoring comments (this means reviewing every single comment before approving or disapproving it. Yep, it takes a strong dedication to censor your comments. These creationists must REALLY hate free speech!)

Therefore, if it hadn't been so tragic I might have found it extremely amusing when I saw the following comment on NephilimFree's channel page:











"...it is awesome to see [evolutionists] just NOT reply on a video..."

Now I must admit that I actually did laugh at first. Surely, you did too? I mean, this comment is just so insanely stupid that you can do nothing but laugh at the futility of even trying to point out the bloody obvious to these people. But I figured what the hell, it would take no more than 10 seconds of my time to set this moron straight, and he might, against all odds, realize the retardedness of his position and come into the light. That's not a bad way to spend 10 seconds, so I clicked the [add comment] button, intending to set him straight.

HOWEVER!!!!



("...i
t is awesome to see them just NOT reply on a video...") Repeated to make your heads implode from the force of the paradox.

Yeah, that's right. You know, I might have guessed that this would happen, but it seems that I let my belief in humanity get the better of me for a second there. It was once again proven to me, that only the most naive people believe that creationists possess any kind of integrity. This guy is rotten all the way to the bone. But this wasn't even the best part. Nope, this creationist has more insanity in store for us. You wanna hear it? Are you sure you can handle it? If you nearly died from laughter before, this will without a doubt prove fatal to you. Okay, you have been warned, now suffer the consequences.
This guy who calls himself NephilimFree has the guts, nay the cheek, nay the complete lack of moral integrity and brain function to utter the following words while keeping a straight face: "I believe in a level playing field."

...You believe in a level playing field, do you? YOU BELIEVE IN A BLOODY LEVEL PLAYING FIELD?! Holy fucking shit, folks... Well thank God you said that, because otherwise I might have thought that you were a censoring little bitch who likes to talk but not let people reply. I might even have put you in the same category as many of your fellow proponents of creationism; The category which goes under the title of 'Lying Assholes'.
If any of you have watched Monty Python's Flying Circus, you will remember the sketch about the lethal joke. Well, now you know what that joke said.

It said: Creationists believe in a level playing field.
Well, that's all my sanity can handle for now. You bastards find something else to do now. There's nothing more to see. Nope. Not a thing.

The author will not take responsibility for any harm caused to the reader as a consequence of laughing too hard

Allison to Lillia Episodes 10 and 11

These last two episodes have really brought the anime back on the right track. For the first time I find myself wondering what will happen next, which is a huge plus. Finally we have some intrigue, hidden agendas and some genuinely funny moments. Okay, the funny moments were there before, but maybe I'm just more willing to find them funny when my mind isn't preoccupied by the weakness of the plot.

To name a few of the funnier moments.. The helmet Will was made to wear when shooting that oversized "manliness overload" gun was ridiculously stupid looking. It's like "here, wear this so your head doesn't explode from the force of the blast!" There was no bloody point to him wearing that helmet, besides making him look like an idiot..! Had it been because it shielded his ears from the blast, then it would somewhat make sense (besides the fact that an ordinary set of ear plugs would have done the trick).
But we see him having a perfectly normal volume conversation with Benedicht after having donned this mind buggingly ugly headgear.

And who can forget the Fii-chan mini camera pwn moment? Just as the big, Russian mafia type badguy approaches her, she fumbles around very obviously in her purse, finally pulling out the mini camera from a few episodes ago, and the priceless moment of "Say fuji! SMACK!" is upon us.

This has gotten interesting, and I look forward to the next episode. But I won't trust this series to not pull another stupid everything-wrapped-up-in-10-seconds ending. Well, let's see where it goes.
