I’m definitely really getting into Bleach as the plot thickens and hints of conspiracy abound. Reading Bleach is great for random associations and (minor as of now) complaints in a similar vein as my Urahara rant 
I get the feeling I’ll have more Bleach ramblings as I blitz on, but anyways…

A co-worker tried to get me into Flight of the Conchords a while back but wasn’t tremendously successful… another co-worker found this song by them though yesterday and I watched it with him. It. Is. Fucking. Win. I’ve looped it quite a few times now and can’t stop laughing like a maniac every time I watch it.
(I would also recommend checking out the R Kelly ft Usher – Same Girl video either before or after the FOTC viewing. While this video is a bit of a pain to sit through – I think the song is tremendously stupid – it will make you appreciate the FOTC version all that much more 
)
I wandered onto The Chibi Project site in one of my internet browsing sessions and gotta say it’s pretty awesome xD I get a similar joyous (yet rather morbid) feeling as when I watch that crazy “Will It Blend?” guy on youtube.
This experiment I particularly liked: Shinji Ikari vs Trolley Car

…as you may have guessed I wasn’t a tremendous fan of NGE LOL xP
Another gem of a song I found through Pandora. After constant looping for a couple of days I decided that I like this live version more than the CD version, probably because of the additional strings accompaniment – so pretty
And – today is Friday the 13th! Happy 13th all xD
Here are two Bleach pages that I especially liked the text of, so popping them up here for safekeeping 
Utterly random / cute Japanese commercial…
I also clicked through some of the related videos for a fun couple minutes of random viewing. Hats off/props to Japanese advert companies that came up with these wacky neat commercials!
I’ve been gunning through Bleach the manga. I can kind of see how this one might be more enjoyable as anime instead of manga, but my mom’s come to stay with me for a couple of months and it’s kind of weird to be like “Mom, please leave me alone. I need to watch some anime now.” Maybe it shouldn’t be weird but I don’t have that level of otaku-comfort around my parents yet. They know I’m a raging manga fan though, after finally discovering the entirety of my rather substantial manga collection for which I pinched away years of middle/high-school lunch money. This happened a couple years ago, so they’ve more or less given up nagging me about reading manga.
Anyways… On the awesome character that is Urahara… Read the rest of this entry »
