Is it sad that I agree with you on Masamune for Sephiroth or the fact that I know who Relena Peacecraft (or any of the other anime/video games/otaku references)? I think it’s that I once dressed up in a Shaolin Monk Costume and dreamed of Chewbacca that night…
Oh, and yeah, higher res would be nice, I think my retinas are going to explode now…
The resolutions are being worked on. All will be well within two days.
In the meantime: Here I am being a terrible hypocrite.
I am myself an Otaku and have no patience for those who are too cool for the internet. This month’s HDA? was born out of a want to find out how martial arts are percieved among various subcultures. This one happens to be mine.
I fully realize that Otaku, in japan and america, are a freaky little subculture, and i’m fine with that. I’d no more expect the average nihonjin to be able to do the Lucky Star dance than I would expect the average British to sport a foot high, liberty spike mohawk and have a complete Smiths collection, no matter how fu’ing terrif their latest albume might be.
In every hobby, there’s someone who has to go and ruin it for everyone else by taking it too far. Wether it’s ROYCE4EVA@hotmail.com who’s constantly talking about his upcoming NHB carreer which mysteriously never happens, or Edmund R. Fanboy who blasts Cruel Angel’s Thesis in the corridors while you’re trying to study, I will be there.
Jack, how can I get the URLs of the highres pictures?
Hedge: You actually like Utena? I am saddened. It’s like French foreign film meets anime. There are a million odd anime titles, but Utena was the only one that left me feeling like I’d done about 6 grams of shrooms…but without the awesome light effects and spatial distortion. Wait. No, the race car scene was spatial distortion. So without the light effects only.
Hmm… this makes me wonder what type of horrors I’d see if I did this sort of investigation in the 501st Boards… (Would the cosplayers of the Star Wars Galaxy be more or less inclined to idiocy than those found in the Anime World???)
Meh, I’m too lazy.
CosPlay and Star Wars? I see “Aikido is like the Jedi!” and “Ninja are teh Sith!” posts in your future, WWCheese.
that was really funny ^^ kudos
Clearly you only watched the movie. The series is no less surreal but it has an inner logic.
I thought the bit a bout the Drop Kick Murphy’s bible was hilarious.
Chi = The Force
Jedi = Shaolin Monks
Vader = Samurai
Palpatine = Pope Benedict
My Snow Scout Trooper (they exist, look at the Star Wars Original Trilogy original Cross-Sections Reference Book) with moving helmet visor equiped with walkie-talkie, voice amplifier and 100% cotton Snow-Jacket = Most Incredible thing you’ll ever see… when I finish it (It’s fucking expensive):XXeyeslam
BOBA FETT > Gawd
Oh man! Gotta go, my new Twi’lek Dancer Girl Fan-pics just loaded…

And for some reason it won’t let me +rep you…

DANCING WOOKIE TEAM!!! (It’s like Star Wars: Galaxies all over again minus the 12 year olds Jedi obessision that eventually ruined the game…)
What were your stats?
Galaxies? Well, I never got far because I no have da moneys and rampant Jedi overdose but was a level 4-6ish Commando when I quit… I think? I wish I could tell you more, but honestly the game didn’t do it for me (Maybe if it’s free and they get rid of the fucking Jedi Splurge I’ll return but…)
Hedge: Yah, the movie of course. If the movie blows, I rarely opt for the series. I learned my lesson on the Tenchi Muyo junk back when I had anime-tard friends. Boy was that a letdown. Although Burning W was good…and a few others, like Black Magic, etc. But Akira S has always been decent. ;kan;ksdn;kvn;n How the hell did you do that? How did you make me talk anime? Argh! Must. Cleanse. Soul. Beer…I need beer.
Thanks for the concilation prize. It is nice to have a whole team of dancing wookies.
You mean Sake… sake and anime boobies… (One of ussss… one of usss…)
My pleasure.
Never Darth Cheese! I will never come over to the Dark Side! I am consuming booze at a level guaranteed to burn out any unclean anime-osity. Ha-ha, I say, Ha-ha! swig, swig
Oh Lord.
On one hand I’m tempted to mock all involved in this exchange (namely the idiots from the pics), but looking in my room and noticing the Godannar boxset says otherwise.
Palpy: Come to the Dark Siiiiide.
Vader: weeze
Luke: NEVAR! I will drink my way out for I am an alcoholic, like my father before me glug glug
Random Never before seen Narrator: Who knew? Jedi are Irish.
