Spice and Wolf: She has a tail – get over it.
5 Centimeters per Second: Slow
Hamtaro: Evil
Library Wars: Unrealistic
Neon Genesis Evangelion: Trainwreck
My Neighbor Totoro: I hate my neighbor
All Nippon Air Line (ANAL): Needs more lesbians
Chi’s Sweet Home: Yawn
Kodomo no Jikan: Great show, if you’re a pedophile. Which I’m not.
Princess 69: Predictable
Kyoshiro to Towa no Sora: Oh wait, I did see it. And it sucked.
Serial Experiments Lain: Bullshit
Hayate the Combat Butler: Maybe I’d watch if you replaced Butler with Maid, and Hayate with Kogarashi

Gundman ____: Been there, done that
Afro Samurai: Racist
The Hiatus Continues…
After announcing my weeklong hiatus last Monday, my stats immediately plummeted and sharply rebounded when the week was over, just as expected:
But Baka-Raptor, how is it a hiatus if you’ve been posting?
That’s just how much my hiatuses rock. Somebody should give me an award.
| Best Hiatus | Baka-Raptor |
| Best Comment on Another Blog | Baka-Raptor |
At least I’m getting one new source of hits:
I’m now announcing that my award-winning weeklong hiatus will continue for another week (the assignment is due next Monday instead of this Friday).
But Baka-Raptor, how can a weeklong hiatus last for two weeks? Do you have to power to manipulate time?
Yes.
35 people love sucking up to me

I’m pretty sure there wasn’t an ANAL anim- I mean, ANAL, what’s that?
May 14th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Needs more fanart of IKnight-as-Marisa going “Hey Baka Raptor
Reimu, what’s anal?”May 14th, 2008 at 2:20 pm
DAMN, if only this hiatus was longer and initiated a couple months ago… THEN I’D BE BEGGING YOU TO JOIN ME. But alas, I’ll just continue watching more Afro Samurai to practice my acceptance of other races (Damn them all)… I hate that show so much.
May 14th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
@IKnight: I wouldn’t know, not having seen it or anything…
@Owen: Whatever anime you’re referencing, I haven’t seen that either. And it sucks.
@Os: I’m sure I’d fit in with the rest of you dinosaurs.
May 14th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
You’re lack of Eva is disturbing.
Have you considered the new movie at the very least?
May 14th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Awww ………!! No more stupid rapping for now? XD
I love you too
May 14th, 2008 at 4:41 pm
>>Haruhi Season 2: Great concept, poor execution
Wait, what? THERE WAS NO EXECUTION.
I watched Akira a couple months ago and decided it was terrible except for the baby who looked like a mini Lou Dobbs. Lol.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
@ExiledShinobi: I’ve heard about it, but I want to watch the series first.
@blissmo: Stupid rapping? You must be confusing me with lolikit.
@korosora: Exactly.
May 14th, 2008 at 7:21 pm
Dude is your all-too-correct perception of Afro Samurai due to my all-too-awesome analysis of it? At least it produces search terms like “afro samurai sex scene”. And I laughed hard at the spice and wolf one.
May 14th, 2008 at 9:49 pm
I picked ‘Gantz’ because it reminded me of a Swan-Gantz catheter, the best, MOST EXTREME WAY to messure Pulmonary Capillary Pressure EVER!!
May 14th, 2008 at 9:54 pm
>>edited Aria screencap
<3
>>@blissmo: Stupid rapping? You must be confusing me with lolikit.
Ballad of a Paralysed Citizen is not rap. Van Diemen’s Land is not rap. I don’t know if Breaking the Habit is rap or not but you can hardly wrap up the entirety of my song lyrics perversion as “stupid rapping.”
>>@Os: I’m sure I’d fit in with the rest of you dinosaurs.
Hah.
Hahaha.
Hahahahahahaha.
Hahaha.
Haha.
Huuuuuuuh T______T

@Lelangir: It is now (inserted link)
@Praz & lolikitsune: …
May 14th, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Edit: I seem to have spelled ‘Swan-Ganz’ wrong… how infinitely foolish of me… can I rescind my vote??
May 14th, 2008 at 11:41 pm
@Praz: So the typical corrupt Chicagoan wants to vote twice…
May 15th, 2008 at 3:24 am
Each of those points on your Wordpress.com stats is consistently hitting around the 1000-1200 range. ADMIT IT.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:04 am
@Nagato: In that pic, the high is 167 and the low is 78. My all-time high is 212.
May 15th, 2008 at 6:30 am
Marisa’s from Touhou, man. That’s a shootan gaem.
May 15th, 2008 at 12:47 pm
I almost forgot: “It also sucks. It is made by an asahi-based life-form who is also a paedophile. The cast numbers in the hundreds, all of which are female and likely under the JAPANESE age of consent.”
May 15th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
But I thought you won all the awards already!
May 15th, 2008 at 5:37 pm
RESPECT!!! Your choices in the animu world lead to a path of enlightenment.
Except Haruhi 2 (no, don’t pretend it’s Lucky Star), you can’t miss out on that.
May 15th, 2008 at 10:41 pm
I must add to what was said above about Evangelion: The new movies are not a complete remake of the series. Rebuild of Evangelion is actually a sequel. So watch the series first. (for those who disbelieve me, watch the movie, the evidence is everywhere, hell even Kaoru mentions Shinji’s name in past tense).
May 15th, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Now go and watch all Ghost in the Shell (3 movies and 2 seasons). I even wrote you a list in my e-mal quite some time ago, and not one mention.
May 16th, 2008 at 12:09 am
@Teeif: My review of Haruhi II was my review of Haruhi I. But I do look forward to next season. Really.
@Epileptic Diahhrea: So Shinji died. Thanks.
@Viktor: Your checklist was incorrect about GiTS not having Lesbians (or at least you could’ve check-starred it). I’ve got a post planned about the Tachikomas, but I want to watch the second season before I write it.
May 16th, 2008 at 7:36 pm

How on earth did I miss something like ANAL
Also, I recommend Boku no Pico.
May 17th, 2008 at 12:53 am
Oh you’ll get hits eventually. I just started hitting 1k hits now and it only took about a year. I’m not even cool or anything like the more hype bloggers so I’m really surprised.
Ganbare Baka Raptor.
May 17th, 2008 at 7:52 am
How can you hate Lain?!!?! It rocked hard!! You must’ve got confused and said screw it. LOL
May 17th, 2008 at 11:23 am
Lain gave me a headache already on 3rd or 4th episode. Things started to get disjointed and stuff. So I deleted it from my harddrive.
May 17th, 2008 at 2:59 pm
@Webbmaster62 & Viktor: As the title indicates, I haven’t seen it and can’t meaningfully critique it. And it’s bullshit.
May 17th, 2008 at 3:38 pm
[...] 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” [...]
May 17th, 2008 at 4:33 pm
>>And it’s bullshit.
Truer words were never said. Like Paranoia Agent, it was hella cool, but complete nonsense.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Well, if you decide to watch it, let us know. ^_^ I like to hear your views on it myself. Your posts intrigue me.

[...] So I don’t have a “rational” basis for picking anime. Who does? Picking shows based on descriptions is an exercise in futility. One of my all-time favorite shows is about an ambiguously gay ghost who teaches a boy how to play go. Who in their right mind would pick that? You’re better off picking shows by throwing darts at a lineup. [...]
