Kure-nai: Crappy Plot, Crappy Show

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

I tried to be reasonable. I tried to be delicate. I tried to make a serious point with class and grace. What did it get me? A ton of inane comments ignoring all my arguments and reiterating the same hollow crap: Kure-nai is awesome and Plot doesn’t matter.
The only one who didn’t whore himself to [...]

Kure-nai 07: How not to go into hiding

Friday, May 30th, 2008

“Even I could find me”
1. Don’t change your name

You went through all that trouble to escape; now you risk getting caught because you’re too lazy change your name? This is the same shit they pulled in Seirei no Moribito. At least Balsa made up some excuse about nobody believing she’d still be alive. Sure. Hey, [...]

Non-Haruhi Shows that Need a Second Season

Wednesday, May 21st, 2008

Ouran High School Host Club II:
Auron High School Host Club

Auron would be the perfect apology for the first season’s unbridled gaiety.
Scene 1: Auron breaks the host club’s precious vase/knee caps.
Scene 2: All the girls fall hopelessly in love with Auron.
Scene 3: Auron rejects them all because he’s not pedophile.
Scene 4: Auron taunts the jealous [...]

Five Manly Anime OP/EDs

Saturday, May 17th, 2008

Warning: First of all, this is a blatant filler post (I’m still on hiatus). Secondly, these are simply “Five Manly” themes, not “The Five Manliest” or “The Five Best” themes. If you want to bitch about an omission, keep it short & sweet (i.e. a link to the video and explain your pick through my [...]

The Perfect Way to End a Series

Monday, May 12th, 2008

Step 1: Get Somebody Pregnant

Pregnancy = Closure. There’s no question that pregnancy can’t answer:

Did X and Y ever get together?
Did X and Y ever patch up their stormy relationship?
Did Y die without an heir?
Who’s the father?
What’s pregnancy + 0?

Step 2: Show Every Character (but make us think you’ll forget someone)
3 minutes left…no Sesshomaru…2 minutes…no Sesshomaru…1 [...]

Aria the OVA II: Athena’s Revenge

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I was in the middle of a romantic dinner date with Athena…

…when Alice interrupted us to yell at her.

Athena apologized.

Then Aria came out and started dancing!

Awwww…he’s so cute….

…when Athena kicks him.

I’m going to miss this show.

100 Reasons to Vote for Baka-Raptor
Don’t expect me to update for about a week. I’ve got a writing assignment to work on (which it’s almost as lame as Michael’s “I didn’t update because I was reading” excuse). Deal with it. This video is worth at least five written posts. If you’re bored, just [...]

People v. Goetz, 73 N.Y.2d 751 (Nov 22, 1988): Goetz entered a NYC subway car and sat down next to four young men. One of them said to Goetz, “Give me five dollars.” After the second request for money, Goetz rose from his seat and fired five shots. All four men survived, though one was [...]

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

4/1/2008 – 4/30/2008
I’m sure I’m not the only one who remembers where he was when Pizza-Raptor first graced the Baka-Raptor homepage:

Pizza-Raptor’s month-long tenure left us with many unforgettable memories:

A Tale of Lesbians
My interview with The King of Anime
Yuko’s attempt to seduce me
My failed ABA campaign
My successful BRA campaign
Bingo!
Twins and Boobs

Advantage: True Tears
The birth of Raptorko
