Dear Dad...
It's been a while since I last wrote. After that Worm attack, we put into Yokosuka for some major repairs and upgrades, and I was too busy scraping barnacles to write. I did find some old photos though, and I thought you'd be interested in hearing about how the Sonic Diver unit got to where they are.

I really wish they'd decided to do Strike Witches instead of this one.

If you think I'm gonna disagree with you, well, think again. This show is rampagingly mediocre.
If
Strike Witches lived up to it's OVA, though, it'd be the greatest anime of all time.

AMV PROJECT 2 ANNOUNCEMENT
Run in fear! Plead for mercy!
BEG FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
No, wait... wrong script.
*shuffle shuffle* Ah, here we go...
*ahem*
Wonderduck Productions has begun work on it's second AMV. The subject anime will again be Kanon 2006, partially because I don't want to get into DVD ripping just yet, but mostly because that's what lept to mind.
Yes, just like "...Angel", this one sprung fully-formed into my brain... with a bonus: the song has never been used, according to AMV.org. In fact, the band in question (The Smithereens, best rock band of the '80s and early 90s) only appears ONCE at all, out of 150000+ videos.
Bwah-ha-ha-ha-ha-haaaaaaaaaa! Here we go again!!!

Which Smithereens song are you using? "A Girl Like You"? "Behind the Wall of Sleep"? Either one would make for a good AMV.

The Eyes Have It
Over at
Chizumatic, Steven is talking about who Mikuru from
Haruhi Suzumiya really is, and mentions that
"some fans speculate that Mikuru is actually Kyon's younger sister." He then goes on to say that
"they have the same eyes."
Hmm. Sounds like a fun bit of speculation, and one that I had no previous opinion on... let's take a look! I called up my AFK fansubs (which gives us a lot more opportunities to take screenshots of Imouto-chan), and photoshop, and started snappin'. I tried to match camera angles as much as possible on all of these, of course, and I used the left eye of each... here's a result:
Top row, L to R, we have Imouto, Mikuru and Haruhi (for comparison). Haruhi's looks like Imouto's but not Mikuru's. Mikuru's is longer than Imouto's or Haruhi's... I think.
Bottom row, we've got Imouto and Mikuru. The shapes of the eyes are... different, but that might be because Imouto is grumpy in her shot, where Mikuru is happy.
Still, not exactly a ringing endorsement of the "same eyes" arguement, but not enough to disprove the theory. Further study I leave to the interested individual; I don't see Imouto being a younger version of Mikuru, m'self, but I'm not about to rule it out, either, based on my short experiment.
Then, for a lark, I decided to go farther afield... for your entertainment, here's even MORE left eyes:
Can you name them? Answers and further discussion below:

Uh, the post is over three years old. Why, exactly, did you feel a need to comment on a three-year old mistake, Mr Anonymous?

I'm ok with corrections. Not everyone is cross about small ones. That said, I disable comments on old posts. It helps to reduce spam.

Based on what I've seen about this episode on other sites, it appears to be a member of the "mahou lolicon" genre.

Well, I can't say quite yet, as I've only watched the first few minutes so far. Prolly right, though.
They
do make a joke out of the fact that she's so small for a high schooler, though, so bonus points for that at least.

I watched the whole ep. Look, I can deal with little girls in my anime - I'm a Nanoha fan, for goodness sake - but criminy! It's not comfortable when you get the idea that the animators are subtly pandering to the pedophile - but this show's wearing the whole thing on its sleeve, man. Even the setup (that she's just really kiddy for a high schooler) smacks of the disclaimers on hentai games that "all of the characters in this game are over 18" when it's set in a middle school.
Less loli, more hilarious Engrish, I might give it another shot. Or maybe if they made a Maritan anime - it's a Moetan parody that teaches the Japanese to curse like a US marine, complete with racial epithets. But I think I'm done with this show...

Google is our friend.

A Maritan anime would be hilarious, but it'll never happen. More's the pity.

Are you trying to suggest you'd drink from her faucets?

I hate this comment thread so very much... and I

So you'd rather just Kohler?
