Completed: FullMetal Alchemist Brotherhood - The Anime Juggernaut

There’s a very good reason that FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is the #1 highest-rated show on MAL – it’s an anime that has everything Western fans have been looking for in a show for years, and as such has managed to raise the bar for plot-driven anime altogether. This post contains spoilers.

Digiboy's Character Database of Love - 5. Sakata Gintoki & 6. Kobayakawa Yutaka

This is the third post in Digiboy’s Character Database of Love.

5. Sakata Gintoki – Gintama

Seiyuu: Sugita Tomokazu (Performance: 5/5)

Character Design: (Designed by Takeuchi Shinji, based on designs by Sorachi Hideaki). On an ordinary basis, most of the character designs in Gintama aren’t very attractive – they only become such when the animators decide to make it so. Gintoki is, if nothing else, the most recognizable, and probably the coolest character in the show. He’s known most for his naturally wavy silver hair and the way that he wears his strange outfit (the logic of which is made apparent in an episode where Gintoki explains to Sorachi-sensei that a shounen hero must be recognizable by his silhouette alone). His black-on white clothes with red trim on the black part and blue wavy designs on the white part is a striking and cool outfit that I could see looking good even in real life.

Finish or Fail 20 - Natsume Yuujinchou - A Terrorist Plot to Infect Me With -The Gay-

This’ll be a short one, because Natsume Yuujinchou is delightfully iyashikei, and I feel like I couldn’t talk about it properly if I weren’t just being chill about it.

Looking pretty Ginko there, Natsume.

Great Scenes in Anime 1: Gakuen Alice ep. 8 - Can I Call You Jii-chan?

This is the first in a post series I’ve been hoping/trying to do for a long time, called “Great Scenes in Anime”. As the name implies, it’s a series dedicated to taking a deeper look at some of my favorite scenes in anime. For the most part, these won’t be those big scenes that everyone knows, like character deaths, endings, etc. – instead, they’ll be smaller but meaningful moments that many wouldn’t stop and consider on their way through a series. I’ve been gathering a collection of scenes for a long time, but today I’ll cover one that I just watched from Gakuen Alice episode 8.

If you’ve already seen this episode, you can skip down to the parenthesis below or skim the summary to refresh your memory.

A (Hopefully) Comprehensive Primer on the Sexual Psychology of Otaku

Today, I spent about 40 minutes floundering as my psychologist bombarded me with questions about anime sexuality and otaku psychology. I had to try and explain moe to him in one sentence, then sort out the meanings of fantasy and reality for a while, and it was just a mess. I know too much about this subject to try and discuss it in under an hour, so I said fuck it, I’ll write a paper on it and he can read that. This info will apparently be helpful to him, as apparently he has a client who’s been busted for virtual child pornography with regards to some manga he had (I pointed out the word ‘virtual’ to my psychologist, to which he replied “up in Newport News [city in Virginia], they don’t give a fuck.” Scary!) I guess he has to work on this guy’s defense, but he didn’t give me much information about it – he was, however, greatly interested in hearing more of what I had to say. Therefor, I’ll say EVERYTHING I have to say. (PS: this post is just barely, if at all, work-safe).

Of course, this post will be full of appropriate imagery~ art by shirokuro http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=list&tags=shirokuro
