1 Your fixation on tuna-related matters lately is a bit odd, and out-of-character.  One might almost say there's something fishy going on...

2 Well, most of the time around here it's toon-age, no?

3 Very nice lineup this week, sir! I love the Tron Legacy soundtrack, particularly "Derezzed" (the remix is fantastic). As a die-hard PSB fan I had to pick up Electronic when it came out (and was slightly disappointed that Neil Tennant is only on a couple of tracks); they also released a single for a movie, I think it may have been Cool World, called "Disappointed." And Elfen Lied... hoo boy. Not my cuppa, normally, but I slogged through it and agree that it's a great series... that I never really want to watch again.

3AM Eternal, at least, was all over the radio in that hippest of hip places, North Dakota.

So that KLF album was the first CD I ever purchased. Not the first album, though... I was a cassette-tape-and-boom-box era pre-teen. I don't recall what my first tape purchase was.  (They say the memory is the 2nd thing to go...)

Some Sunday afternoon tunage, perhaps? Travel, by The Gathering.

I did the RealAudio-pirate-radio-DJ thing for a few years, back when that sample in the opening of Travel meant something. So it's hard not to drop song links in discussions like this...

5 GD, Disappointed was Electronic's biggest hit (6th on the UK charts), as well as being on the Cool World soundtrack.  That being said, I don't like it nearly as much as Getting Away With It.

Mikeski, now that I've listened to your linked tune, I feel like staring at my shoes in despair.

1 So, have any anime theme songs or sound tracks tickled your fancy?

2 Nothing recent, Siergen, other than Magia.  The Angel Beats soundtracks are great fun, though.  For example, three different versions of "Crow Song", all of them good in their own ways.

3 Ummm...that picture...is there context?

4 I have to agree; that picture is really creepy. I'll be glad when you make another couple of posts.

5 A dead girl laid out as the "catch of the day"?  After his mind was broken by reviewing Rio, I suppose this sort of thing was inevitable...

6 Not dead, she's got one of those spirit-sealing Tao scroll thingies on her forehead.  Don't recognise her though.

7 Doesn't that spirit sealing thing mean she is dead but has been reanimated pending developments in medical technology or plot?

8 Or a sold tag.

9 What I've found is that she's a minor character from the Touhou franchise named Miyako Yoshika.  No less a person than TheBigN himself posted the original picture to Danbooru, so perhaps he can shed some light on the subject... let me see what I can do to summon hisownbadself...

10 I looked her up.

She's a severely disabled girl (dead actually) who is trying to hold down a security job despite her handicap.


So, as we feared, Wonderduck has posted a picture of a dead girl being sold at the fish and long pork outlet.

So you just have to look at it the other way.  It's not a dead girl amongst dead fish to be used as food, it's actually zombie fish and a zombie girl being sold as bodyguards.

I think the fish will require some frickin' laser beams on their frickin' heads to be any good at the job, though.

12 On the comments for that picture on danbooru, one person actually notes that one of the Yoshika's nicknames as attributed by some fans is "Maguro-chan", which references bed habits apparently.

13 What is it with Touhou and Chinese girls as ineffective security guards?

At any rate, thanks for the music - I was stuck at work on Saturday night and it helped a lot.

So, as we feared, Wonderduck has posted a picture of a dead girl being sold at the fish and long pork outlet.

Wonderduck's mental condition is worse than I feared.  Quick, someone recommend a decent anime series to him, before it's too late!

15 Coming back to this one a bit later...

It's funny: I was, at best, indifferent to the Foos before that AMV. (Fully deserving of its win, I hasten to add.) Now I'm... slightly more than lukewarm to them. I picked up "Echoes Silence Really Long Album Title Guys" and like a few tracks off of there, but I'll probably never be a huge fan. I can respect 'em a lot more, though.

16 Okay, dead-ish.  Mostly dead.  Possibly pining for the fjords.

You know you've been reading anime blogs too long when you see that headline and try to figure out why you don't know what "too-nah-geh" is.

Ooohhhhh...
