Shimoneta Episode 05 - For Whom The Dirty Terrorism Benefits?

Once upon a time, there was a young man who had just discovered the wonders of anime. Of course, he had no idea what anime was - all he knew was that Sailor Moon looked kind of awesome, and it reminded him vaguely of some other cartoons his older brother watched many moons before.

But then, one day, he was introduced to the wonders that were Cowboy Bebop and Trigun. And from there, he discovered Gundam Wing, and it was basically downhill from there, you see. After this point, he would watch nearly anything and everything he could, because anime was great and fantastic and The Best Thing Evar.

It could do no wrong, you see.

I like to think that young man is rolling around in his grave at this point, because I can't see how any part of that young man may have survived the hell I've put him through. The hell I'm going to put him through.

F**k you Shimoneta. F**k you something fierce. I haven't even started watching this episode yet, and I already know I want it to die in a fire.

Such are the depths of my hatred for this show. Let us commence with the hell-raising. The pitchforks and torches are to your left.

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 18 - Aim for the Prima! Usagi's Ballet

Hello there, Internet. This is where I might say something incredibly snobbish like 'didn't see you there' or 'sorry I was just in the middle of', but I never liked those sorts of things. I mean, it's fun once in awhile if you're, oh, Colbert, but most people are not, in fact, Colbert, therefore the delivery is kind of lackluster. It's not quite there.

Why am I going on about this? I dunno. Why are you reading a blog about bad anime? Why am I writing a blog about bad anime? Some answers don't have questions.

Don't think about that last one too hard. I'm not.

TO THE SHOW!

Maken-Ki! Episode 04 - The Enemy is at Tenbi

I am wondering if I am simply this exhausted, or if it is that time of year when my sinuses decide they are going to start doing mock illness drills or something. Because I tell you, it's been a weird day of doing nothing but sleeping. Which is a thing that generally only happens when I don't sleep enough for a week, or when I am beginning to get sick.

Hopefully it's not actually getting sick. My schedule is already backed up enough as it is.

Anyways, it's time for Maken-Ki. It's a show that exists and that I would really rather not watch, but let's just get this over with.

Shimoneta Episode 04 - The Saying Goes... Love Is Justice

I'm scared.

It has come to my attention that the fourth episode of Shimoneta may be my breaking point. And we are now at the fourth episode.

The end of the last one has certainly filled me with trepidation. You see, part of me believes this may be the end of the road. I could never watch this show again, and live a fulfilling life and be better off for it. But on the other hand... I started this blog for a reason. To chronicle the survival of some of the worst shows imaginable. And I have simply quit far too many shows at this point.

Therefore, part of me wants to prove the world wrong, and show them that I can survive anything Shimoneta has to offer.

Deep breath. We're going in. Wish me luck.

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 17 - Sparkling Summer Days! Ami, the Girl in the Ocean Breeze

I was going to put something else here, but then I read the title for today's episode. Is this yet another character focus episode? Was the team power-up not enough? Or are we still cycling through the entire team getting hit on by the badguys or something?

God damn it Sailor Moon, you're almost halfway through your season at this point, get your shit together already! Ugh. You're going to make me suffer yet another stupid and pointless character focus episode. It's going to be so bad I'm already repeating myself.

Fine. Let's just get this over with then.

Maken-Ki! Episode 03 - Welcome to Maken-Ki

I can't be sure, but I think my intermittent Internet outages may have finally been fixed. One can only hope this is the case. With that having finally been fixed, I can go back to ruining what tattered remains of my soul still linger, and what better show to continue this with than Maken f***ing Ki?

I never thought the day would come when a show would make me miss Strike Witches. But this one has.

I hate you so much right now Xebec for making this garbage.

Shimoneta Episode 03 - How to Love Someone

I continue to fight with my ISP regarding the whole 'getting Internet' thing. It seems that they think there is not a problem, when in fact there continues to be a problem. It's kind of puzzling that this is a thing. How can you not see that there is a problem? Why is it that you seem to think the reason our connection continues to drop off the face of your network that this is an issue with the number of devices connecting to your service? When this has never been a problem until recently?

Truly, I am baffled. Almost as much as I am baffled by the anime I've been watching. Or the fact that my recent choices of viewing are, somehow, pretty darned popular in these parts.

Or maybe the Google stats are lying to me, who knows?

I've rambled on far too long about this nonsensical bullshit. So let's get down to business. Maybe defeat some Huns in the process. I have been informed by a Certain Someone that I may, in fact, be very near to the end of this show already. That by the next episode, any desire to continue watching may, in fact, be broken like some... easily broken thing.

While I realize this is a challenge, I look back on some of the other shows this person has suggested, and I shudder. Because I fear they may be right.

Let's get this going.

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 16 - Time to Believe the Pegasus! The Super Transformations of the Four Soldiers

It feels like I just watched this show yesterday. Yet, I know this cannot be true. Time is simply beginning to blend together.

I wonder if perhaps this is just the effect of subjecting oneself to these kinds of shows on a regular basis. How you just go and wind up losing track of time because the experiences all blend together into one big chili pot of absurdity.

Why chili, you ask? Why this show? Or any other? Man I don't f***ing know anymore I just watch this crap.

Maken-Ki Episode 02 - Girls are Amazing

My Internet has been absolutely horrendous lately. Which makes updating the blog difficult, since being online is sort of a requirement for getting it done.

But now I seem to have a connection again for a little bit, so while our provider continues to f**k around and be completely unhelpful in general as to why our service keeps getting interrupted, I'll just knock Friday's update out now so we get caught up.

Unfortunately, it would have to be Maken-Ki. I am pretty sure this show is going to take me longer to get through than any other so far. Yeah, even longer than Daimidaler.

Here's to the next three hours of my life....

Shimoneta Episode 02 - The Mysteries of Pregnancy

So, I was trolling through the stats again, as I usually do. And of course, what happens to be the most popular post in the last week? Shimoneta.

I hate you people. But not nearly as much as I hate this show. It's not that I don't get the concept behind it. I do. It's sort of like the whole censorship thing, which I absolutely despise (yes har har funny coming from a guy who censors out f**k every time he uses it lolololol) but it takes on an air of just complete, unadulterated childish puerility with its concepts.

And yes, Google has just affirmed the puerility is, in fact, a word. So f**k you.

I'm in a foul mood. Let's make it worse.

Sailor Moon SuperS Episode 15 - Mansion of Secrets! The Menu of Love to You

Another Monday, another episode of Sailor Moon.

It saddens me that this show was one of the 'better' shows of its kind at the time. Hell, it saddens me that this was considered the pinnacle of anime for its time. Sure, we can laugh away at stuff like Dragonball for its wacky plot stuff, but Sailor Moon holds a special place for 'shows that have lots of episodes but do absolutely nothing'.

I'm sure that place is somewhere in the upper levels of hell. Perhaps around Limbo? Purgatory maybe? Sounds about right to me.

So speaking of staring into the depths of hell, it's time to get this thing going. Boy what a clever segue that was. *pats self on back*

Maken-Ki Episode 01 - The Day We Swore to Heaven

What a week it's been so far. Metal Gear Solid V. Work. Two new shows and not a whole lot of sleep to go around. But here we are at Friday. Which means the best gets saved for last, right?

Hell if I know, I know next to nothing about this show, and I'm honestly not sure if anything I watch in the next few months will even come close to that crap.

But you know me. I'm gonna try anyways.

So, Maken-Ki! is a show I guess. And I'm gonna watch it.

... god help me.

Shimoneta Episode 01 - Whom Does Public Order and Morality Serve?

It should be noted that the full title of this show is actually called Shimoneta  to Iu Gainen ga Sonzai Shinai Taikutsu na Sekai. Loosely translated, this means "A Boring World Where the Concept of Dirty Jokes Doesn't Exist".

Now, some of you might remember I watched another show called Daimidaler. It drove me up the f***ing wall. I may have considered saying some extremely horrible things about Japan as a result. I might have even almost entirely lost faith in anime because of it.

Let's just say, it was an all-around bad time, and I am not expecting anything less from this show.

So buckle in folks, because I get the feeling I will be crying blood by the time this episode is over with.
