Am I the only person on the internets who is disturbed by this?

EVA Bottled Water (from Gigazine)

Gah.

On the other hand, there’s this:

Macross Frontier Instant Ramen (from Gigazine)

I love instant noodles and definitely wouldn’t mind getting some of that :D

…for some reason the above sentence came out kinda pervy. Unintentional side effect of thinking/talking about anime-affiliated products? Anyways, I guess it’s just another day in the wondrous and varied world of anime merchandising! How many new ways can Japanese companies come up with to suck the money out of YOUR otaku pockets?

From Gigazine: “Evangelion Bottled Water shaped like Asuka and Ayanami’s plug suit” and “Ranka and Sheryl’s ‘Macross Frontier Instant Ramen’ by Bandai“

Macross Frontier Episode 6, Pirates of the Caribbean theme?

I just finished watching episode 6 of Macross Frontier, after looping some of Macross Frontier’s songs. One of the reason why I’m enjoying M.F. is because I adore Yoko Kanno, and I think anything she touches is made of gold and win. I can’t say I’m as big of a fan of Macross Frontier’s soundtrack as some of her other OSTs though, partially because the story calls for a lot of pop and there’s only so many ways to make pop sound innovative/awesome.

This is not to say I hate the songs… I’m looping “What ’bout my star” right now, especially the beginning; the other songs will probably really grow on me in time too. The background orchestral tracks though hasn’t blown me away as much as usual. Also, one of the tracks used in episode 6 really reminded me of the Pirates of the Caribbean theme. It was another one of those moments (like the V for Vendetta-like scene in Code Geass) that became rather distracting, because I couldn’t stop thinking “zomg, Pirates, seriously!”
