AwesomeTurtle's Hideout

Anime from South Korea.

In the future, all energy sources are depleted, except human excrement. To reward production, people receive addictive, popsicle-like “Juicybars”. Aachi and Ssipak are street hoodlums who struggle to survive by trading black market Juicybars. Through a chain of events involving their porn-director acquaintance Jimmy the Freak, they meet wannabe-actress Beautiful, whose defecations are rewarded by exceptional quantities of Juicybars. For that reason, Beautiful is also wanted by the violent blue mutants known as the Diaper Gang (led by the Diaper King), the police (most notably the cyborg police officer Geko), and others.

If you enjoyed Dead Leaves and/or Mind Game, then you’ll probably get a kick out of this. The over-the-top action and animation serve to make the fight scenes the most badass things you’ll have seen for a while, and the dialogue and commercials are so hilarious that you won’t care that there’s no real plot at all.

Go for it.

The only thing I wanted more than a pet was to name it Thunder.

(Yes, a piece of her left ear is gone. No, I do not nibble cat ears.)

PS this cat is not mine. I stole/renamed it.

Decided to give Windows Live Writer a shot.

And just to make this post keepworthy, have some singing.

I play it daily.

Who would win?

No, not that awesome SNES classic. The act of getting tetris after tetris after tetris etc. (A tetris is when you clear four lines simultaneously).

Without further ado:

What’s a self-absorbed anime blog without one?

For those of you who haven’t taken a peek at what’s to come this fall, check it out.

What I will be watching:
Darker than Black: Comet of Gemini (Subbing)

From ANN:

Hei and Yin are now on the run after betraying the Syndicate in the previous season. After leaving Japan, Hei encounters Suou Pavlichenko, a 13 year old Eurasian girl who becomes embroiled in the war and politics of the various factions and Contractors vying for power. Meanwhile, Hell’s Gate remains standing in Tokyo, after Hei’s efforts to stop the Saturn Ring anti-Gate particle weapon from activating. Although Contractors are safe from the danger of having their existences erased, this does not prevent new and old Contractors from abusing their powers. As Misaki Kirihara and her team in the Public Security Bureau deal with the increasing Contractor cases, she also has to keep the Syndicate at bay, who has major positions in the Japanese police and intelligence bureaus around the world.

I am really looking forward to this (and hoping the soundtrack is at least on par with that of the first season).

The Sacred Blacksmith (Subbing)

From ANN:

* Based on the light novel series by Isao Miura.

The story takes place after an abominable war that foisted a “devil’s contract” upon a land. Cecily Campbell, a former noble’s daughter who joined a knighthood, encounters a man who dispatches some hoodlums with one sweep of a mysterious sword. The man possesses the power of the same “devil’s contract” that has become taboo, now that peace has been restored. Cecily has been searching for a blacksmith who can repair an old sword she inherited from her father, and that mysterious young man happens to be blacksmith named Luke. This encounter launches their adventures together.

We’ll see.

Fairy Tail (Subbing)

Lucy Heartfilia aims to join the world’s most notorious mage guild, “Fairy Tail”. During a daring rescue, Lucy encounters Natsu, a teenaged practitioner of the Dragon Slayer magic and a Fairy Tail member. Lucy is welcomed into the guild to start a live of quests and mages.

All I know is that it’s based on a manga, and its art style is in the vein of One Piece (which I hate with a passion). I’m only QCing for this because nobody else will.

Kimi ni Todoke

Kuronuma Sawako’s one wish in life is to make friends. That’s a difficult proposition when everyone who meets this high school student cowers in terror! She just wants to be like her classmate Kazehaya-kun, a laid-back, easygoing guy.

Watching because I.G. has yet to let me down. I’ll probably read the manga beforehand (the fact that it’s a shoujo has never stopped me before).

Sasameki Koto

Sumika is madly in love with Ushio, and has been for some time; but Ushio only shows any interest in cutesy girls. Sumika, a card-carrying badass TDB who helps run her family’s dojo, does not fit this bill even a little. Cue angst, as she is forced to watch from the sidelines as Ushio falls for girl after girl, none of them her. However, it seems that things may take a turn for the better…

Lesbians and kneesocks. Hi, I’m watching you.

Winter Sonata (Subbing)

An adaptation of a hit Korean drama series:
“The drama follows two childhood friends — a boy and a girl — and the tragedy and angst that befalls them and those around them in the years between high school and young adulthood.”

I’m a total sucker for drama/emotional anime, so this is right up my alley.

Shin Koihime Musou
I’m watching this because the first Koihime was hot. That’s all.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu: Purezza

The adaptation of the light novel series by author Yusaku Igarashi details the daily life of a respected high school girl who hides the fact that she’s an obsessive anime otaku.

Watching this for the same reason as Shin Koihime. What is true moe?

What I will be subbing:
Everything above with (Subbing) on it, and some other shit that’s still in the air.

Bye.

kawaii~

Well, it’s not so much “mine” as simply living under the same roof till November or so.
